What was more, Elsa and Bruce might get involved in this if Darren didn't confess.
Bryan's power was too strong. Once Darren stepped forward, he had no chance of fighting back and would be killed in the blink of an eye. Hesitance coursed through Darren at that thought.
After considering all his alternatives, he decided to protect the others. Either way, the crazed Holy Lord would not be appeased till he got his vengeance.
Without wasting any more time, Darren took one step forward. This one tiny step attracted countless eyes. Bryan and his helpers immediately focused their attention on Darren.
Just as Darren was about to confess, a man rushed out at lightning speed, and shouted, "It's me. I am the murderer. Come at me, jerk."
Immediately, everyone present looked in the direction of the man. The man was none other than Bruce.
"Well, good."
"Teach him a lesson before I interrogate the bloke," Bryan turned and spoke to his associates.
In an instant, a dozen powerful people released attacks aimed at Bruce.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the attacks stopped, Bruce lay motionless on the ground. His whole body was covered in injuries, and blood gushed all over the floor.
"Bring the trash to me," Bryan ordered.
An elder flew to the dying Bruce, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him to Bryan.
At this moment, everyone on the training ground became silent. They did not dare to utter a word. However, most were quite happy and felt relieved. Some silently reprimanded Bruce, for he almost got everyone involved and killed. Some thought Bruce was a traitor who had committed towering crimes and deserved more than death. Even the team-leading elders zipped their mouths as they were afraid of speaking.
"It's not him," said the rule cultivator in purple, as he looked at the Blade Holy Lord. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
The Blade Holy Lord was also familiar with the murderer's internal force. Grim-faced, he nodded when he probed and discovered that Bruce had lied.
"Well, what a brave guy. You want to die for the murderer? Okay, I'll help you," Bryan said coldly. "Here are my new orders. Kill everyone from the Lotus Holy Land. Don't let any of them escape," Bryan bellowed. Since Bryan recognized that Bruce had come from Lotus Holy Land, he judged that the murderer was surely hiding among them. Besides, he had already offended Lotus Holy Land by ordering the attack on Bruce. The consequences would be the same regardless of whether he killed one person and a group of people. Either way, Lotus Holy Land would become his enemy.
