"Lu kid, don't make a mistake!" The Fourth Elder spoke out, "Everyone present is a meritorious official of the Dragon Country. You can't wrong them!"
"Don't worry, Elder. I'm not foolish!" Lu Fan said with a light chuckle, then looked at the Hundred-Faced Scholar, "Since you are a Dragon Country martial artist, tell me, from which part of the Outer Realm battlefield do you hail?"
"I am a martial artist from the Purple Light Outpost of the Outer Realm battlefield!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar stated seriously, "If you don't believe me, sir, you can investigate yourself!"
"Are there any other martial artists from the Purple Light Outpost here?" Lu Fan asked, looking at the people in the hall.
Many martial artists shook their heads. With the great calamity that befell the Dragon Country, most of the martial arts masters from the Outer Realm outposts were killed or injured. Those who survived at the Purple Light Outpost were considered quite fortunate.
"Could it be that no one survived from the Purple Light Outpost this time?" Lu Fan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Sir, you may not know this, but many of the Dragon Country's outposts, even several major ones, were completely annihilated. As for whether this person is truly from the Purple Light Outpost, we have no way of verifying!" a man spoke up.
"As a martial artist from the Purple Light Outpost, I fought desperately against the enemy in this campaign. Yet now I am suspected by an adult. How can I establish myself in the Dragon Country in the future!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar stated.
The Fourth Elder also frowned and said to Lu Fan, "Lu kid, do you have absolute certainty?"
"If I didn't have absolute certainty, why would I come to the hotel!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at the Hundred-Faced Scholar, "If you hand over the Elder Token now, you might receive leniency. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"If you insist on this, sir, I have nothing more to say!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar stated directly, "As a martial artist of the Dragon Country, why would I steal an Elder Token of the Dragon Country? It's likely that the Hundred-Faced Scholar has already fled the Dragon Country."
"Lu sir's suspicion is not unfounded!" Long Aotian spoke out, "If you are truly a Dragon Country martial artist, then produce evidence!"
"The people of the Purple Light Outpost were massacred. How can I prove my innocence!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar smiled, "You'll probably have to go to the Purple Light Outpost headquarters. My records are there!"
"Go to the Outer Realm battlefield?" Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan chuckled, "Is that to open the Dragon Country's defensive shield for you?"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar smiled, "It seems you still don't believe me, sir. I have nothing more to say!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. In a blink, he strode towards the Hundred-Faced Scholar, carrying a fierce gust of wind. He wanted to see how long this Hundred-Faced Scholar could hide.
Feeling the fierce force, the Hundred-Faced Scholar suddenly exploded and flew backward, a mouthful of blood seeping from his lips, his face turning extremely pale.
Inside the hotel, many Dragon Country martial artists were shocked. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to make a move before the truth was clear. If the person before them was truly a Dragon Country martial arts master, wouldn't that be disheartening?
The Fourth Elder also trembled slightly. The martial artist before him was spitting blood and was no match for Lu Fan. If this was indeed the Hundred-Faced Scholar, he shouldn't be like this.
"Lu kid, you might have made a mistake!" the Ninth Elder spoke, "He doesn't seem to have that kind of strength!"
"No wonder they call him the Hundred-Faced Scholar. He can even fake this!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "No matter how well you can act, there will always be a moment when you reveal your flaws!"
As Lu Fan finished speaking, he surged forward again. He was now very sure that the person before him was the Hundred-Faced Scholar and would not hold back.
"Elder, save me!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar cried out, "I have served the Dragon Country wholeheartedly. After being suspected, can I be struck down without any regard for right or wrong!"
Lu Fan unleashed his powerful aura. Seeing that the situation was not good, the elders quickly moved to block in front of the Hundred-Faced Scholar.
With a loud boom, several elders were sent flying back. Lu Fan stood firm in his original position. He hadn't expected the Elder Council to intervene.
"Lu kid, don't be impulsive. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!" the Fourth Elder stated.
The other elders nodded. From that one strike, they finally understood that their strength was not on the same level as Lu Fan's.
If Lu Fan hadn't retracted his palm in time, they would have likely been sent spitting blood from the impact.
"I can confirm that he is the Hundred-Faced Scholar!" Lu Fan stated directly, "If he escapes, the consequences will be endless! Esteemed Elders, please do not hesitate!"
"My lord never makes mistakes in his judgment!" Han Yunhai spoke out, "Are the esteemed Elders doubting Master Lu?"
"Master Lu is the guardian god of the Dragon Country. Naturally, we believe him!" many martial artists said in succession, "Making a move without investigating the matter thoroughly might cause criticism later!"
Facing the widespread discussion, Lu Fan remained indifferent, not paying much attention.
The Hundred-Faced Scholar smirked. As long as he didn't admit it, Lu Fan couldn't do anything to him.
"I believe in Master Lu. He would never be mistaken!" Long Aotian said solemnly, "Esteemed Elders, please do not forget that Master Lu has a tracking item on him. Moreover, Master Lu fought so fiercely on the Outer Realm battlefield, all for the country!"
The crowd instantly came to their senses. Many martial artists in the banquet hall showed a glow of realization. During the battles on the Outer Realm battlefield, if Lu Fan hadn't arrived in time, they would have already become corpses.
Now that Lu Fan was so certain, this matter was definitely not simple.
"We are willing to believe Master Lu!"
Many martial artists in the banquet hall shouted. They clearly understood everything Lu Fan had done for the Dragon Country. If they didn't stand by Lu Fan at this moment, wouldn't it be disheartening?
"Lu kid, I know everything you've done!" the Fourth Elder stated directly, "But no matter what you do, you must follow the rules. If he is not the Hundred-Faced Scholar, the repercussions afterward will be immense!"
"It's fine, I am not from the headquarters!"
Lu Fan smiled and looked at the Hundred-Faced Scholar, "Do you think you can deceive everyone by acting like this?"
"Master Lu, I am truly not the Hundred-Faced Scholar!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar said solemnly.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan sneered, "Whether you are or not, you will die today. No one can stop me!"
As these words were spoken, everyone trembled slightly, especially the elders of the Dragon Country. They clearly understood that what Lu Fan said was indeed true. If he decided to act personally, no one could stop him, not even all the elders working together.
"Lu kid, don't be impulsive!" the Ninth Elder warned.
"I am not from the headquarters, esteemed elders, please do not obstruct me!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, "If anyone insists on obstructing me, I will show no mercy!"
The many elders frowned. Lu Fan's killing intent made them feel a chill.
"Esteemed elders, given the situation, we can only trust Master Lu!" Han Bing stated.
The others nodded slightly, except for a few elders who frowned.
They were very well aware that no matter what Lu Fan did, even they could not control him.
