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

Chapter 389 Ruthless

The massacre of the Jiang family was something Xu Yao himself felt he absolutely had to investigate thoroughly.

After all, the negative impacts behind this are something Xu Yao cannot avoid having to face.

Therefore, Xu Yao wanted to investigate personally, especially since some people from other sects believed that he was the one who did it.

Therefore, whether for his own sake or for other purposes, Xu Yaoduo had to find out the truth of the matter.

At this time, Xu Yao took Han Yi to the Jiang family.

As soon as Xu Yao arrived at the Jiang family's door, he smelled a pungent stench of blood.

The smell was so strong that even Han Yi, the leader of the Assassin's Pavilion, found it somewhat nauseating.

At this moment, Han Yi looked at Xu Yao with a surprised expression and said, "Just who did the Jiang family offend? How could the murderer be so ruthless?"

"With such a strong smell of blood, it seems that not a single member of the Jiang family, not even a dog, survived," Han Yi said.

Xu Yao, now frowning, said, "I didn't think things were that serious before."

"But now that I see the Jiang family in such a state, I suddenly feel that this person's ruthlessness might not be for some other reason."

"It was all a ploy to kill the entire Jiang family and then frame me. Otherwise, I really can't understand it."

"What kind of person would do this?" Xu Yao asked, frowning as he looked at the Jiang family's mansion.

After speaking, Xu Yao led Han Yi directly into the Jiang family's residence.

The situation before him made Xu Yao gasp in shock.

The courtyard was filled with corpses, some of which had been hanged from trees.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yao said, "It seems that the person who committed this murder was aiming to wipe out the entire Jiang family."

"This is absolutely outrageous."

Han Yi, still somewhat shaken, said, "Even our Assassin's Guild has never been this ruthless."

"At least my Assassin's Guild wouldn't say we don't spare children," Han Yi said, looking at the several children's corpses in front of him.

Just then, they heard some noise coming from inside the house. Upon hearing this, Xu Yao immediately led Han Yi and ran into the house.

Given the current situation, there shouldn't be anyone left at the scene. Could it be that someone from the Jiang family has miraculously survived?

Although Xu Yao wasn't entirely clear on the situation, it had at least reached a point where it could no longer be ignored.

Therefore, Xu Yao naturally couldn't sit idly by. So, Xu Yao led Han Yi straight in.

Upon entering the house, Xu Yao and his companion saw a man appear in the Jiang family's living room.

Xu Yao angrily retorted, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

Upon seeing Xu Yao, the man immediately turned and ran away, looking extremely flustered.

Just then, Zero One suddenly rushed out.

Zero One hadn't come with Xu Yao and the others before, but now he was here, leaving Xu Yao completely bewildered.

Zero One grabbed the man and angrily said, "You killed so many members of the Jiang family. Either you commit suicide, or I will."

Just as Zero One finished speaking, the man said, "The Jiang family deserves what they deserve; it has nothing to do with me."

"Xu Yao, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me to cover your tracks?"

At this time, people from other sects also arrived without anyone noticing.

Because Zero One wanted the man to commit suicide, and these people overheard this, they all assumed that Xu Yao was trying to kill him to silence him.

Xu Yao said, "We just arrived. This person was right here, and that's how we caught him."

The people from other sects said, "Hmph, Xu Yao, stop trying to deny it. Do you think we don't know what you mean?"

"Now that there's no way to prove anything, and you're the only living person here, you're probably back to clean up the scene because you didn't do it cleanly."

"Many of us saw this. Do you think you can deny it? Xu Yao, if you had any sense of responsibility at all..."

"They should take responsibility for the Jiang family's affairs."

"Yes, yes."

It seems that people from other sects were also waiting for this opportunity, which is why they launched a joint attack on Xu Yao under these circumstances.

Just then, the man took advantage of the chaos and ran straight to the back.

Xu Yao originally wanted to give chase, but was stopped by the people from these sects.

"Xu Yao, do you think you can escape? We finally managed to catch you, and this time we absolutely won't let you get away."

"If you don't give the people of the world an explanation, then today we will risk our lives and suffer countless casualties."

"We must get rid of you."

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight. Xu Yao knew that these people were here to cause trouble for him.

If I don't delay these people, then there's no way to investigate them.

Therefore, Xu Yao had no choice but to ignore the person who had escaped and could only say, "Since you say that I killed him."

"Then it's very simple. Produce the evidence. You guys rushed in and saw me here, so you're saying I'm the murderer."

"So can I assume that you are the murderers, but you are just too guilty to be found out by me?"

“If you’re going to come out, you’re going to frame me,” Xu Yao said.

Xu Yao was well aware that things had already progressed to this point, and he had no reason not to refute it.

If we don't refute them, to be honest, once these people truly believe they are the murderer...

Even if Xu Yao is very powerful, he would be somewhat overwhelmed if all these people attacked him at once.

So in many situations, it's just like that. Under these circumstances, Xu Yao has to keep these people occupied.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao said to Han Yi, "You guys check the surrounding area for any clues, I'll hold these people off."

Han Yi looked at Xu Yao with some hesitation: "Is there a problem?"

"No problem, this matter is not something that would upset me, but as you can see now, there are so many people from various sects."

"They've decided I'm the murderer. If I don't stall them here first, even a god couldn't save me then," Xu Yao said.

Han Yi was aware of the seriousness of the matter and naturally knew the consequences of Xu Yao's words.

So Han Yi quickly left the place and went around looking for clues.

Xu Yao, standing alone, looked at everyone present and said, "I, Xu Yao, have always been upright and honest."
