The murderous aura exuding from Jiang Ning sent tremors coursing through Luo Qi's body.
Everyone could similarly feel Jiang Ning's rage.
The hair on their bodies stood on ends. It was as if they had come face to face with a fearsome beast that could easily open its jaws wide and swallow them whole.Original content from .
Jiang Ning leveled a frosty look at Luo Qi. "I didn't have to go to all that trouble to kill someone. In fact, why would I use the Vajra Fist to kill someone and leave clues that will expose me as the murderer?" Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
He turned and exchanged a brief look with Li Guang. It was then that the same realization struck Li Guang as well.
If Jiang Ning had truly wanted to kill Ting Chan, he could have used any other technique from the other sects instead of the Vajra Fist. In fact, he wouldn't have revealed that he had mastered the Vajra
Fist.
That would remove him of all suspicions, stir conflict amongst the sects, and incite a fight amongst the major sects.
That would have been the most ideal plan.
With Jiang Ning's intelligence, there was no way that he wouldn't have thought of that.
"Are you really not the one?"
Li Xuan frowned. If Jiang Ning had used the technique of another sect to murder Ting Chan, wouldn't that still make him a suspect?
The thought of that sent shivers down his back.
The clues that the murderer had left behind hinted that Jiang Ning was a strong suspect and yet also proved that he wasn't one.
"Perhaps you were too careless!" Luo Qi scoffed without relenting a single bit.
"You're just finding excuses for yourself now and trying to pull wool over our eyes."
He was adamant that Jiang Ning was the murderer. It didn't matter what Jiang Ning had to say for himself and whether the others would come to be persuaded by Jiang Ning's arguments, he was convinced that Jiang Ning had killed Ting Chan.
Jiang Ning replied coolly. "If someone wants to frame me, they'll say anything to prove their case. In my opinion, Chief Luo is the greatest suspect."
"That's utter rubbish!" Fury flashed across Luo Qi's eyes. "I don't know the Vajra Fist at all. How could it be me?"
"That's not true," said Jiang Ning. "You've just not used it in public."
The other sect leaders turned towards Luo Qi. He caught the look in their eyes and his face darkened as he growled, "Why would
I, the chief of Tianlian Sect, know the Vajra Fist? What a joke! Besides, do you really think that I can beat Ting Chan?"
He had no idea if Jiang Ning was simply spewing nonsense and trying to implicate him in Ting Chan's death.
He didn't know the Vajra Fist at all.
"You wanted to kill him. That's why you hide the fact that you knew the Vajra Fist. Am I not right?"
"That's utter rubbish!" Luo Qi thundered. "You're spewing lies!"
Jiang Ning smiled.
He didn't say anything more. The other sect leaders understood what he had been trying to say.
It didn't mean that someone who knew the Vajra Fist was indeed the murderer, but someone who seemingly didn't know the Vajra Fist could very well be the murderer The best way to avoid suspicion was to pretend that you didn't know the
Vajra Fist at all. There we148
no idiots
amongst them.
Certainly not anyone from Buddha Sect, who left without approaching Jiang Ning.
If Jiang Ning were truly the
murderer, Elder Ting Feng and the
other elders wouldn't let him off that easily. They would have made a charge for Qingshan Sect and demanded that Jiang Ning pay for his crime at all cost.
"If you want to find an excuse to go against your word and attack Qingshan Sect, be my guest. But don't even think about trying to frame me for something that I've not done. won't give you the chance to do that," declared Jiang Ning have nothing to hide. All I want to do is to help everyone solve the problem of the gray fog. But if you insist on being stubborn and not accept my help, well, you can burn for all I care."
His voice exploded like thunder in everyone's ears.
The expressions on a few sect leaders' faces shifted minutely. They had not expected such forcefulness from Jiang Ning.
They were wary of Jiang Ning's talent and abilities but at the same time, they were also secretly hopeful that the young man who had suddenly appeared before them could bring about some changes in the mountain.
But the situation seemed to be a mess right now.
Someone had killed Ting Chan with his own sect's Vajra Fist and they had no idea why or how it even happened.
