"Sect Master, you must not be deceived by him!" Lin Qingbei stepped forward and said, "This matter was indeed done by the Bai family, and there is absolutely no mistake!"
"Since it was the Bai family's doing, the Sect Master will naturally investigate the truth!"
One of the elders spoke, "Your Lin family is obstructing so much, could it be that, as they say, your Lin family is the mastermind behind this matter!"
"Elder, please see clearly, how would my Lin family dare to do such a thing!" Lin Qingbei quickly explained.
"Enough, there's no need to say more!"
The Misty Sect Master said coldly, "I will send people to investigate. As for whether the Lin family is behind this, it remains to be verified!"
Lin Qingbei nodded slightly, not daring to say more, but he was a little worried. After all, when he dealt with Elder Shangguan that day, he was truly found out. His Lin family was probably in great trouble.
At this moment, the Misty Sect Master looked at Lu Fan, "Young man, you have reached such a level at such a young age, and you can even injure Elder Shangguan. You are truly extraordinary!"
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "If Elder Shangguan had not been so aggressive, I would not have fought him. However, I also know that the Misty Sect's foundation would not allow him to be killed, wouldn't that be seeking death!"
The elders present all nodded. Lu Fan's words were indeed true. No one was a fool. It now seemed that the Lin family was indeed suspicious.
"Grandfather, what do we do now!"
Lin Qingbei said softly, his expression changing slightly. He didn't know things would turn out this way, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing.
"We can only wait and see. If it is indeed found out, I will resist them with all my might, and you will escape alone!" the Lin family head said seriously.
"How can this be? I am also a member of the Lin family, how can I live in苟且偷生!" Lin Qingbei said with a solemn expression.
"The Lin family bloodline must not be broken, and you cannot have any accidents!" The Lin family head's expression was serious. "My eyelids have been twitching, I'm afraid disaster is imminent. You seize the opportunity and flee this place, and never return to Baishui City again!"
Lin Qingbei frowned. He now understood that this matter would most likely be exposed. By then, they would have no escape, and the Lin family would collapse without a fight.
It was a pity that his plan had not succeeded, otherwise it would not have been like this.
A short while later, the Lin family head smiled and said, "Sect Master, I suddenly remembered that there is evidence within my Lin family. I will order someone to fetch it now!"
"Evidence?"
The Misty Sect Master smiled, "Let the elders go! No one from the Lin family is allowed to leave this place!"
The Lin family head was slightly startled. He knew very well that the Misty Sect Master's words meant he suspected their Lin family, and they were likely to have no escape.
Thinking of this, the Lin family head looked grief-stricken and helpless.
Lu Fan stood aside, his expression even more calm. Since they had not done anything wrong, they had nothing to fear.
"The Lin family is truly ambitious!"
Bai Xiaoqing spoke, "To do such a thing! Fortunately, the people of the Misty Sect are wise, otherwise the Bai family would be finished!"
"It is too early to say such things now!"
The Bai family head spoke, "Whether evidence can be found is still unknown!"
Seeing that he could not leave, the Lin family head's expression turned cold. He looked at the many guards of the Lin family and signaled them. Things had come to this, and they could only fight for it.
At that moment, several guards of the Lin family made their move, instantly dealing with several disciples of the Misty Sect, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
The Lin family members also swarmed forward, wanting to break out. They were now in a desperate situation, and there was no point in staying here.
"Surround them all, not one can be let go!"
The Misty Sect Master's expression was cold. He never expected that the Lin family would be so audacious as to make a move directly in front of him, without any regard. Several sect disciples had died tragically, and he, as the sect master, could not escape responsibility.
The many experts of the Misty Sect made their move, and the Lin family head also exuded a powerful aura, carving out a bloody path. The two elders heard the commotion and moved to capture the Lin family head.
For a time, on the street outside the Bai family mansion, there were shouts of killing everywhere. Although the Lin family was not as strong as the Misty Sect, they still had some foundation, and coupled with the surprise attack, it threw the Misty Sect into disarray.
"Should we make a move!"
Bai Xiaoqing was eager to try. The Lin family had failed to frame the Bai family, and now he did not want to miss the opportunity.
"This kind of killing is too bloody!"
Lu Fan said, "We should stay put, preferably not helping either side. This matter has nothing to do with us!"
Bai Xiaoqing was stunned. What Lu Fan said was not wrong. This matter had nothing to do with them. If they made a move, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
In the blink of an eye, the many experts of the Misty Sect controlled the situation, and the Lin family members all died tragically, with no power to resist.
Except for the Lin family head, only a few figures from the Lin family's many experts managed to escape.
After capturing the Lin family head, the elder looked at the Sect Master, "How does the Sect Master plan to deal with him?"
The Misty Sect Master glanced at him, then said coldly, "You said earlier that Elder Shangguan was your friend, and he helped you deal with the Bai family. How could you repay kindness with enmity?"
"Hahaha..."
The Lin family head laughed, "Naturally, it was for power. Only by killing him would you deal with the Bai family. In this way, my Lin family would be able to dominate Baishui City!"
"For the greed in your heart, you did not consider your friend. Someone like you does not deserve to live!"
The Misty Sect Master struck out with a palm, carrying the force of thunder.
After the Lin family head was killed, the Misty Sect Master said, "Today's matter was a misunderstanding. The Lin family has been dealt with. From now on, the Misty Sect and the Bai family will have no more grievances!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
The Bai family head quickly cupped his fists, filled with emotion. He had thought that this matter would implicate the Bai family, but he did not expect the Misty Sect Master to be so righteous.
"Little brother, you are no ordinary person. If you have the opportunity, you can come to my Misty Sect to sit."
The Misty Sect Master spoke, "My Misty Sect happens to have a vacancy for an elder!"
Many people present were surprised. They did not expect the Misty Sect Master to be so direct, wanting to recruit Lu Fan into the Misty Sect.
"Thank you for your kind regard, Sect Master!"
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I have other matters to attend to, and I'm afraid I cannot take on this role!"
"It's alright, I was just casually saying it. If you are unwilling, I cannot force you." The Misty Sect Master waved his hand.
The elders of the Misty Sect looked at each other with meaningful expressions. They had never seen the Misty Sect Master value someone so much, to directly offer an elder position. This was not a treatment that ordinary people could enjoy.
After the Misty Sect people left, Lu Fan smiled and said, "The Bai family's matter is finally over, and it's time for me to leave!"
"Where is Mr. Lu going?" Bai Xiaoqing asked, "This Spirit Realm is boundless, and I don't know when we will meet again!"
