Chapter 35 I Testify! (Second Update Seeking Votes)

  "I believe you, but that doesn't mean others will! This time, apart from our Yu family, the eight major families who were supposed to meet with you this afternoon are all dead. Will their families believe us? And it's not just them, it also includes members of royal families from various countries!" Yu Qinghong was anxious too, yes, the consequences would be severe, if they couldn't prove that Yang Tianwen wasn't involved, then Yang Tianwen would face pursuit by the entire continent and become a public enemy.

  Yang Tianwen listened and it was indeed the case. The Yu family, due to their relationship with Yu Qinghong, had given up on competing for the Longevity Sword and were also on good terms with him. This time, only the Yu family was unaffected, while all others were affected. Of course, people on the mainland couldn't think that it was the Yu family's doing, because they didn't have the power or courage to do so. But Yang Tianwen had both the power and motive, and there was no way to shift the blame away from him. Yang Tianwen suddenly felt very innocent!

  "Isn't there anyone who witnessed it?" Yang Tian asked helplessly.

  "I don't know, because the eight major families are all gathered at Tingyu Building, and it's nighttime, so even if someone saw something, they might not have seen clearly. Even if they did see clearly, they wouldn't dare to come forward as witnesses." Yu Qinghong analyzed calmly.

  Yang Tian asked again: "Really no survivors?"

  Only Seventh Prince wasn't in the city, so he escaped unscathed. Oh, right, those who didn't stay at Listening Rain Tower also didn't have any mishaps." Yu Qinghong spoke up.

  "This thing is too sudden, I don't seem to have offended anyone, it shouldn't be aimed at me. If it's not aimed at me, then it must be a grudge against the Eight Great Families, and I'm just an unlucky scapegoat." Yang Tian asked with a shrug, saying helplessly.

  "What will you do then?" Yu Qinghong asked, and when the eight families gathered their troops to come and ask for justice, it would be another disaster. No, I want to go back and discuss with my father how to calm this matter down.

  "I don't know." Yang Tian asked calmly replied, as long as he was clear in his conscience.

  "I'm going out to find my father, you stay here first, don't make any rash moves." Yu Qinghong said and hurriedly left.

  Yang Tianwen felt uncomfortable being framed, but this big thing might not shake Yang Tianwen's calm heart. Yang Tianwen still slept as usual, anyway people were all dead, and he didn't have to go to the academy in the afternoon.

  Soon, two major events shook the entire continent. The first was Li Chengfeng's beheading of the evil gun, making him another god-level strongman on the continent and also the youngest god-level strongman! The second was the blood case of Tingyu Building, which made Yang Tianwen a famous person on the continent as well.

  Yang Tianwen didn't know, because he was still sleeping in the room and didn't know how long it had been. Xiao Bai's "Wu Wu" sound woke Yang Tianwen up from his sleep. "Xiao Bai, don't care about them, we sleep our own, they surround their own." Yang Tianwen slept very well, but that doesn't mean he knew nothing about everything around him! This yard was surrounded by hundreds of people in three layers inside and out!

  It's not just that, but the surrounding area of Tingyu Building is also filled with tens of thousands of soldiers! It seems they plan to use their numbers to force Yang Tianwen to stay.

  Yu Qinghong rushed to the scene after hearing the news, but it was already too late. The surrounding area had been cordoned off, and even as the second son of the Yu family, he couldn't get in. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around in circles, but with his abilities, he couldn't break through such strict security measures. As for the master of the Yu family, he didn't want to get involved in this matter that had angered everyone, and had already received the news and left early.

  Until the afternoon, Yang Tianwen finally stretched his waist and walked out of the house with Xiao Bai. The walls of the courtyard had been demolished, and the flat open space was surrounded by dense soldiers or Jianghu masters.

  On other rooftops not far away, group after group of archers stood, drawing their bows taut and waiting for the signal to fire.

  "Wow, do we need such a big lineup? It's really an eye-opener." Yang Tian felt a strong military aura and couldn't help but sigh, when could he have felt this kind of aura before?

  "Hmph! Yang Tianwen, you're so ruthless and crazy, to have slaughtered the representatives of the eight great families at Tingyu Building in one night. You made an appointment openly, but secretly laid a deadly trap. Such a heinous crime, heaven will not tolerate it, you'd better surrender quietly." The angry voice of Seventh Prince came over.

  "Hey, Seventh King, your words are really impressive, but I really don't understand. I solemnly declare here that the blood case and all that has nothing to do with me, it wasn't me who did it. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago, why would I still send out invitations? Use your brain, okay?" Yang Tianwen explained weakly, his voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear him.

  "Hmph! Besides you, who else could silently kill such a high-ranking expert in one night?" Seventh Prince retorted.

  "If I were the one who killed, I would have run away long ago. Why wait for you to make such a big fuss and send so many people to surround me?" Yang Tian asked, feeling depressed. Are these people stupid? Can't they even think through such simple logic?

  "Less nonsense, you'd better hand over the Longevity Sword obediently and surrender. I guarantee that I absolutely won't take your life!" The Seventh Prince's voice came again, but there was no one in sight.

  Yang Tian rolled his eyes and said, "It's the Longevity Sword again. If I didn't have it, they probably wouldn't be looking for me either. What a hassle." He spread his hands and said, "You're too late, the Longevity Sword is no longer with me."

  "Impossible!" The Seventh Prince was certain that he didn't believe it. Yang Tianwen's cultivation was unfathomably deep, who could possibly take a sword from his hands?

  "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, the sword is in Li Chengfeng's hands. I'll say it again, I really didn't kill anyone yesterday, don't believe me? You can try to attack me then! Yang Tianwen didn't want to kill too many people, but since they were bullying him, that was unacceptable, and self-defense wasn't against the law."

  Everyone listened, and they somewhat believed it. The Longevity Sword was taken away by Li Chengfeng, which was still somewhat plausible. After all, Li Chengfeng had also killed the infamous Evil Gun, who had been famous for decades. His strength was undoubtedly unquestionable. The Seventh Prince also somewhat believed it, after all, Li Chengfeng had indeed come to Wan City that day, and Yang Tianwen had also gone out before. Li Chengfeng did have the strength to snatch the sword from Yang Tianwen's hands. "But where did you go for a whole night? Who can prove that it wasn't you who killed the people of the Eight Great Families?" The scene was very quiet, everyone waiting for Yang Tianwen's response.

  "I can prove it!" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.
