Chapter 8 Scapegoat
The Chen family was far from peaceful that night, with a demon attack, many martial artists were killed, and several others injured.
The women who were taken into the inner courtyard for "protection" were nearly all wiped out, many were swept away in the demonic mist, their fate unknown.
The next day, the atmosphere at the Chen Residence was still filled with tension.
The constables of Lin'an County had all arrived at the Chen Residence, and many cultivators, upon hearing about the previous night's events, also came to the residence.
When Li Fan woke up and stepped out of the room, he saw the crowd surging outside.
There were constables, people from the Chen family, and those martial artists.
Yang Kui and Qi were also there, surrounded by constables questioning them, with Yang Kui seemingly explaining something.
As Li Fan opened the door, he noticed many eyes looking at him, appearing as though a constable was watching him outside the door.
"Brother Xiao Fan." Qi also saw Li Fan, calling out to him, appearing somewhat frightened while being surrounded and questioned by the crowd, she clung tightly to Yang Kui.
"The Chen Residence was attacked by demons last night and is gathering everyone for a discussion, please come with us." Someone from the Chen family approached Li Fan and spoke.
This group came with an imposing manner, not at all like they were inviting someone.
