Nine Dragons Supreme God

Chapter 50 The Patriarch Takes Action

"Very well." Jun Ling stared coldly at Mo Yihan and sneered, "I'd like to see how you, Mo Yihan, intend to clear the Mo family of suspicion!"

The commotion at the Mo residence attracted even more onlookers.

Even now, although the evidence held by the Jun family is not enough to convict the Mo family, Mo Yihan and others are undoubtedly the most suspicious.

They were very curious: what exactly would sixteen-year-old Mo Yihan rely on to turn the tide of defeat?

"As far as I know, Jin Shiming's words just now were all lies!"

Mo Yihan's expression was cold and indifferent, staring at Jin Shiming like a beast.

"You're talking nonsense!" Jin Shiming's mouth twitched violently as he hurriedly jumped out to accuse Mo Yihan: "Not only my Jin family head and servants, but many people in the Jin family can testify for me. Mo Yihan, don't you dare to spout nonsense and frame innocent people here!"

"Oh?" Mo Yihan's expression remained unchanged, but he raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a hint of mockery, "So, in that case, I, Mo Yihan, Mo Sheng, and even Mo Ming all have alibis."

"Why don't you ask my Mo family disciples? On the night of the incident, Mo Sheng and Mo Ming waited outside the gate for a full hour, but they did not see Young Master Jun appear. I'm sure many of my Mo family disciples already know this."

As Mo Yihan finished speaking, countless firm voices followed.

“I can testify for the patriarch and the elders!”

"I can also testify!"

The commotion within the Mo family compound made Jin Shiming, the head of the Jin family, Jin Jingsong, and others look rather unpleasant.

Given the Mo family's current influence, their previous testimonies on behalf of Jin Shiming will likely be rendered invalid.

Not everyone around is a fool; how could they not know Mo Yihan's intentions in doing so?

Since the Jin family can testify for themselves, the Mo family can do the same for their own family.

Even so, I'm afraid it won't clear your names of suspicion, will it?

Jun Ling's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes flashing with sharpness: "If Patriarch Mo can only go so far as to fight the Jin family to the death, then please come with us. Of course, to be fair, Jin Shiming is still a suspect, so Patriarch Mo can rest assured about that."

"Jun Ling, calm down." Jun Ruyi narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked at Mo Yihan and said, "Patriarch Mo, considering your contributions to the country, I can give you a chance."

“But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Patriarch Mo must make the most of it,” Jun Ruyi added.

"Xiao Qi, tell Young Master Jun everything you saw and heard on the night of the incident."

Mo Yihan's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and he actually called out towards the crowd.

Soon, all that could be seen was a thin, dark-skinned boy of about fourteen years old, who timidly walked out from the crowd.

Faced with the oppressive aura of numerous powerful figures, the young man's gaze darted away, not daring to meet the eyes of any of them.

However, he had become the focus of everyone's attention, which made Xiao Qi feel very uncomfortable, and her legs trembled involuntarily as she walked.

“Little Qi, don’t be afraid. As long as you tell the truth about what you have seen and heard, I, Mo Yihan, in the name of the Mo family head, will protect you from death.”

Gazing at Xiao Qi, Mo Yihan spoke softly, then gave Mo Sheng and the others a wink.

Mo Sheng and Mo Lie immediately understood and, in a flash, protected Xiao Qi in the center.

From the moment Xiao Qi appeared, the Jin family had pairs of sharp, piercing eyes fixed on him.

The Jin family is so covetous; we must be wary.

"Yes, Patriarch Mo."

Seeing the protection of these powerful figures, Xiao Qi felt a little safer.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Qi seemed to put on a reckless expression, bowed to the important figures present, and then said, "I am from Siwei Street in Jianye City. On the night of the incident, my whole family was preparing to rest when we suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside the door."

"At the time, our whole family was so scared that we didn't dare to go out. But strangely, the fighting came and went quickly, and soon there was no more noise."

"It wasn't until three quarters past 9 PM that I dared to go out and check. When I went out, I saw a young man in white lying unconscious on the ground. Later I found out that he was dead. It scared me half to death."

"Then the head of the Mo family rushed over with his men. When they found the corpse lying on the ground, the head of the Mo family and the others all looked shocked."

"Finally, Patriarch Mo instructed me to hurry home and lock the door properly."

"Although I don't know exactly what happened that night, I do know that Patriarch Mo is a good person. Please, gentlemen, do not make things difficult for Patriarch Mo."

Although Xiao Qi was timid and spoke each word cautiously, her tone was very firm when she mentioned Mo Yihan.

This made the crowd's gazes turn strange again, and their minds became a little confused.

Currently, the Mo family and the Jin family each hold their own version of events, and no consensus can be reached.

It seems that the Mo family has slightly turned the tide, but based solely on Xiao Qi's one-sided account, it is difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter.

Is this case destined to become a mystery amidst the power struggle between the Jin and Mo families?

"Xiao Qi is just an ordinary person with no cultivation and has nothing to do with the martial arts world. The fact that Xiao Qi is willing to risk his life to testify on this matter is entirely due to the influence of the family head's personal charisma."

Mo Sheng shielded Xiao Qi behind him, looked up at Jun Ruyi on the white crane, and said, "Lord Jun, isn't what Xiao Qi said more credible than if our own people came forward to testify?"

Jun Ruyi remained expressionless, shook her head, and said, "Even if what Xiao Qi said is true, it's still far from enough."

"If what Xiaoqi said isn't enough..."

As he spoke, Mo Yihan slowly took out a white jade pendant from his pocket and looked at Jin Shiming.

"This white jade pendant, when worn by a martial artist, can, to a certain extent, accelerate the flow of spiritual energy within the body and enhance recovery capabilities. This pendant is a top-grade Yellow-level spiritual artifact, something that most martial artists would covet but could never obtain."

"If I'm not mistaken, this white jade pendant should be something that Jin Shiming, the third elder of the Jin family, always wears, right?"

Mo Yihan gave a cold laugh: "But I don't know why it ended up at the crime scene?"

These words caused a stir among the crowd. With the evidence of the item Jin Shiming carried with him, everyone's expression towards Jin Shiming changed!

Squinting at the white jade pendant in Mo Yihan's hand, Jin Shiming's face instantly paled. He glared at Mo Yihan and roared angrily, "My white jade pendant! How did it end up with you? Could it be that you are...?"

At this point, Jin Shiming felt a pang of panic and didn't dare to continue.

His mind went blank, as if he had realized something, and he was instantly consumed by uncontrollable rage!

"What am I?" Mo Yihan asked, seemingly very curious.
