Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 391 Finding Evidence

Then even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't be able to leave.

However, although these people were also filled with righteous indignation and wanted to settle scores with Xu Yao.

However, no one really dared to go up, mainly because Xu Yao's fighting power was too frightening.

These people aren't fools, after all. If they can win, that's fine, but if they can't, wouldn't that be a big problem?

If you can't even save your own life, what else can you do?

Soon, Xu Yao said directly, "Everyone, now that we're all here..."

"Then follow me to find evidence. If you have evidence to prove that I killed the person, I will naturally be able to bring them to justice."

"But if anyone tries to take advantage of the situation, then without evidence, I, Xu Yao, will definitely not hesitate to take action," Xu Yao said.

Seeing that Xu Yao had said this, no one present dared to make a move.

Seeing that these people dared not make a move, Xu Yao said to Han Yi, "Have someone surround this place."

Han Yi nodded and gave orders to his subordinates. Instantly, many disciples of the Assassin's Pavilion surrounded the entire Jiang family.

Seeing this, some members of the sects said, "Xu Yao, are you planning to kill us to silence us?"

"Hmph, I, Xu Yao, would never do such a thing. Besides, what makes you think I would kill you to silence you?"

"One shouldn't be too confident. If you're too confident, you'll easily become a laughing stock," Xu Yao said with a chuckle.

Seeing Xu Yao say this, these people remained silent, simply watching to see what Xu Yao was going to do.

Soon, Xu Yao also began to carefully examine the area around the corpses.

These corpses were all ordinary people; to be honest, they had almost no cultivation level whatsoever.

The few people who had any cultivation were all the kind who were simply not worthy of being discussed.

Xu Yao didn't understand why the Jiang family would kill all these ordinary people here.

This is simply unreasonable, but there's nothing we can do about it anyway.

Now that it has been discovered, it is natural to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Just then, Xu Yao noticed that one of the corpses had a token on it.

The token had a large character "Du" written on it, and Xu Yao immediately grabbed it upon seeing it.

Upon seeing the token bearing the character "Du," Xu Yao asked Han Yi, "Do you recognize this token?"

Han Yi looked at it and said, "This is the Du family's token. I recognize it."

"So who is this person?" Xu Yao asked.

"It seems to be related to the Du family. The fact that they've died so tragically here is no small matter," Han Yi said.

"If we investigate the Du family, we might find some clues," Xu Yao said.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Yi immediately said, "That's true, but that's the crux of the matter."

"If we go to the Du family and this person is some important figure in the Du family, won't it cause misunderstandings?"

Han Yi's worries were not unfounded. Given the current attitude of the various sects towards Xu Yao, Xu Yao had no doubts.

The Du family is capable of coming up with even more powerful tricks for me, but no matter what, now is not the time to think about those things.

Now that we've decided to get to the bottom of this,

Xu Yao wouldn't be afraid at all, since if the matter wasn't investigated thoroughly, he would be the first to be wrongly accused.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao said to Han Yi, "Here's what you'd like, have the people at the intelligence station investigate what's really going on with the Du family."

"Then we'll investigate the body thoroughly. Once everything is clear, we'll go to the Du family," Xu Yao said.

Han Yi nodded and instructed a disciple of the Assassin's Guild to find someone at the intelligence station to help investigate the identity and situation of the Du family.

After everything was settled, Xu Yao then addressed the crowd, saying, "As you can see now, the Du family's affairs are also involved here."

"Everyone, please go back first. This matter is becoming increasingly confusing. If anyone still suspects that I was the one who killed him..."

"Either you provide evidence, or you use any means necessary. Otherwise, I will naturally go back and investigate this matter thoroughly," Xu Yao said to everyone.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, everyone present looked at each other, knowing that something was amiss.

But everyone wanted to know the truth, which is why someone stepped forward and said, "Okay, then so be it."

"Xu Yao, we believe in you. You must find out the truth."

After saying that, these people left without saying anything more to Xu Yao.

After seeing these people leave, Xu Yao continued to inspect the dungeon for another half a day.

Once it was confirmed that there was no evidence, Xu Yao ordered his men to take away the bodies of the Du family members.

Not long after, the men Han Yi sent out returned with news.

It turned out that the person from the Du family was none other than Du Mingyue, the son of the Du family patriarch.

The Du family has always been focused on business and has had virtually no involvement in cultivation. In fact, the Du family has never been involved in cultivation at all.

Furthermore, Du Yueming had never been heard of having any conflict with the Jiang family, which naturally made Xu Yao even more puzzled by the matter.

What exactly is the Jiang family's situation, and why would they target the unassuming Du Yueming?

After much deliberation, Xu Yao decided to go to the Du family and find the family head first, otherwise everything would just be his imagination.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao immediately took Han Yi and the corpse and headed to the Du family.

Upon arriving at the Du family's gate, Xu Yaocai said to the person at the gate, "Go and inform your Master Du."

“Just say my name is Xu Yao, and that his son, Du Yueming, has had an accident. We’re here to deliver a message,” Xu Yao said.

"What!" Upon hearing this, the man quickly said, "Please wait a moment."

The man quickly ran inside, and soon a man who looked to be around fifty years old ran out.

The man also ran out anxiously and said to Xu Yao, "Young man, this could mean the same fate as my son."

Xu Yaocai then asked, "Are you the head of the Du family?"

"That's right," the Du family head said anxiously.

“Your son’s body is here. We’ve brought your son’s body back,” Xu Yao said.

"What!" Upon hearing this news, the head of the Du family fainted as if struck by lightning.
