"It was just an accident, an accident. And even if I was really following them, you can't say I killed them."
Lu Yan knocked on the table and frowned. "Even if we take a step back, the law stipulates that any killings that occur in the Ka domain are invalid. Could it be that your Security Bureau has been acquired by the Wang family?"
The ironic question prompted the two men to issue another warning, asking another crucial question: "Did you or your summons kill them? You only need to answer yes or no."
"No."
Lu Yan's answer surprised everyone. They turned their eyes to the polygraph, but it did not respond at all.
He really didn't kill him?
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Lu Yan moved his fingertips slightly. After confirming that the polygraph was mechanical, he decisively used the plasma core in his body to release electric current, which had already caused the polygraph to become disordered.
They should use a magic lie detector. Mechanical lie detectors are not very effective when Lu Yan is able to guide electric current.
"I say, how long are you going to keep me locked up? I have urgent matters to attend to."
He frowned and shouted. Most of the security personnel standing in the room outside the interrogation room were not interested in the fight between the card masters at all. The reason they arrested Lu Yan was because of the request of their superiors.
This was already a violation, and they didn't want to get involved too much. After a brief discussion, they decided not to get involved and let whoever came take care of it.
The two interrogators who walked out of the interrogation room learned of their colleague's thoughts and did not say much, just expressed their gratitude. It was said that the Li family was standing behind Lu Yan.
People of their level definitely didn't know about Jiang Jiu's existence, but the Li family knew about it and treated the incident as a game between the Li and Wang families.
If they lock Lu Yan up here, their boss will have to say that they acted on their own initiative. Not to mention the bonus, they may not even be able to keep their jobs.
While discussing when to release the man, a commotion was heard outside, and a security guard stepped into the room and warned: "Hey, the Li family is here. Whoever ordered you to arrest Lu Yan, let him go immediately."
After just over ten minutes, Lu Yan was released from the interrogation room. Li Chuang and Li Xisheng nodded to him, and many Li family card masters stood beside him.
On the other side, Wang Baitao led the young card masters of the Wang family to confront the Li family. Seeing Lu Yan coming out, his face was filled with grief and anger. The villain complained first:
"Lü Yan, I've already said I'll try to return the Pure Yang Sword to you. Why do you insist on killing our Wang family?"
91
Chapter 91 Everyone wants one-on-one.
Are you kidding me? I'm going to throw up.
Lu Yan walked out from behind Li Chuang, frowning and staring at Wang Baitao with contempt: "Alright, you're starting to slander me without any basis. Ha, that's all the Wang family can do. We haven't settled the score with you for the disintegration of our Lu family yet."
"That's because your Lu family has committed too many evil deeds and will eventually perish. So you are such a person too. I really misjudged you."
"You're talking as if your Wang family is a good family. Every one of those who died was useless. They must have been killed by someone seeking revenge."
The two sides argued for a while, neither side getting the other to say what they wanted to hear. Regretfully, they stopped talking and chose to reveal their true colors.
At the same time, Wang Baitao, whose reasons were not very righteous, finally tore off a little of his disguise: "Do you dare to come to a duel? Since you have killed so many members of the Wang family, you must want to kill me."
"First of all, I didn't kill those guys,"
Lu Yan reiterated, then walked up to Wang Baitao and said, "Secondly, if you want to kill me, just say so directly. I'll accompany you to the end."
The tension between the two sides was extremely high. The security personnel finally reacted and shouted, "Hey, what do you think this place is? Is this your home?!"
"That would be great."
Wang Baitao snorted coldly, turned around and said to the staff at the Security Bureau: "I would like to challenge Lu Yan to a card domain duel, one on one, and he will choose the card domain."
He was obviously well prepared. As soon as he proposed a duel, people with higher positions came out soon. Li Chuang raised his hand to signal Lu Yan to rest assured, as some of them were their assistants.
The proposal to use the card domain for a duel had the Security Bureau personnel watching the show whispering excitedly. Other residents who were dealing with livelihood issues such as theft were also extremely happy. Some even opened their phones to record the conversation, and some even broadcast it live.
Lu Yan did not refuse. He was also afraid that if the Wang family chose the duel card area, they would plant something in it in advance:
"Okay, let's set the target at [Outskirts of the Beast Mountain Range]. I'm not very familiar with the duel process, so I'd like to ask Li Xisheng to be my agent."
Finally, it was time to get down to business. Lu Yan's fingers moved subconsciously. Li Xisheng, whose name was called, stepped forward and started talking to Wang Baitao:
"When is the time set?"
"You can choose too. Don't accuse me, an academic card master, of bullying others."
"Five days later then."
After the Security Bureau handled the details of the duel between Lu Yan and Wang Baitao, with the Security Bureau's approval and the signatures of the two, they will officially start the duel in five days.
Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to give up. Even if you escape, you will be caught and fought a duel.
"Ha, you've become quite famous. Now most people in Hujiang City know you. I guess many people at Jingling College where Wang Baitao is studying know about this too."
Lu Yan was sent back to the card shop. Jiang Jiu waved his phone and said, "But there are a lot of negative comments about you. Everyone thinks you are an unstable person."
"It's been prepared a long time ago. The Li family should have had someone spread the video by now."
Lu Yan sat next to Jiang Jiu. To make sure there wouldn't be any snipers from the old ancestor, he asked again, "Sister, can you..."
"Oh, I told you everything."
Jiang Jiu got so annoyed that she stood up and pinched the boy's cheek. She brought her face close to Lu Yan's and looked him in the same pink eyes: "I will stop anyone who is much stronger than you, and they will stop me too."
"I can rest assured that."
After the girl let go of him, Lu Yan took out his mobile phone and refreshed the most popular video software.
The previous second, it was all about the Wang family revealing the truth about the Lu family, as well as a video of someone maliciously analyzing Lu Yan.
The next second, the Li family took action and released a lot of secretly filmed videos with "pictures and truth". The missing members of the Wang family appeared in the videos, and each of them was doing bad things.
That’s right, everyone was doing bad things. The faces of the bullied card masters were blurred, and in the end, no one knew whether those people survived.
The accounts that posted the videos were all new accounts, and Li Chuang helped to post them. Even the subsequent battle scenes were not released, so it is impossible for anyone to trace them back to Lu Yan.
"Tsk tsk, what a murderer! You should try to improve your character from now on."
"I saved all those card masters, but it's not enough to cultivate my character. I only eliminated the Wang family card masters I targeted when they were committing crimes."
Lu Yan responded to Jiang Jiu who was amazed, looked at the time, turned around and went to the duel card area to check the situation.
As soon as the duel location was announced, the Li and Wang families, together with the neutral security bureau, set up a blockade around the area. They also entered the area to confirm that there were no traps or ambushes in advance.
As for the idle card masters, they were all given money. Since the [outskirts of the mountains] belonged to the official card area, the Security Bureau would definitely get money from the Wang and Li families for renting out the venue, and they would have made a lot of money a long time ago.
The Wang family also installed and deployed camera drones at their own expense, probably to broadcast the results and footage of the duel, thinking that Wang Baitao had a sure win.
Looking at the Wang family making such a big fuss, Li Chuang sat by the window sipping champagne and asked his sister:
"What do you think is the probability of Lu Yan winning?"
"...I don't know, but don't forget, it was he who dealt with the clone of the Holy Hand."
Li Xisheng responded while sitting in another car. She looked at the exit of the card area and recalled everything that happened in the card area of [Wudao City] in her heart.
She had never told anyone the specific situation, so even some people who knew the truth only thought that Lu Yan had won the victory with great difficulty by relying on many cards and defeated Sheng Yan's Hand.
Only the eldest lady knew that at that time Lu Yan left the three summoning cards with her, broke into the center of the card domain alone, and saved the card domain at the cost of losing at least three cards.
She was more curious than others about how he won, and she also realized that Lu Yan was definitely a very powerful card master.
The girl firmly believed that he would not fight an unprepared battle and predicted that Lu Yan's winning rate was over 90%.
On the other side, Lu Yan rode a shared bicycle to the area outside the mountain range where the card area was located. Looking at the many people in the distance who were busy setting up things, he said to the empty corner:
"Why, are you planning to use some tricks?"
"I'm not that stupid. I just want to see what you're doing and whether you have the confidence to beat me."
Wang Baitao emerged from the alley, his eyes finally revealing a gloomy look.
"Heh, I've seen academic card masters in Tianwei City. They're all quite capable, but that's about it. I even think I can beat students of 6-star card masters. You? You're a piece of trash."
Wang Baitao didn't take his provocation seriously at all after he made threats before the battle. He felt that there was no need to say more to a dead man, so he turned around and left with a sneer.
There are three Soul Gems left.
After opening the card box, Lu Yan touched the two soul stones at the bottom and turned to go to another card area.
The remaining five days were the time he had left to collect materials for himself. During these five days, he had to collect the soul gems needed for Lamia's promotion.
92
Chapter 92 The duel begins.
The duel became more and more grand, after all, it was not just a grudge between ordinary card masters.
One is the last direct descendant of the Lu family. When the Lu family still existed, he was not favored and did not even have the qualifications to awaken. But now he has become a card master who can fight against the younger generation of the Wang family.
The other one is the strongest among the young card masters of the Wang family. He is about to reach or may have already reached 4 stars. He is also a famous student in Jingling Academy.
"The Duel between Wild Card Masters and Academic Card Masters", "The Feud between the Wang and Lu Families", "The Elegant Gentleman and the Vicious Criminal", "The Avenger and the Hypocrite"...
There are many similar titles. In short, the topic has reached its peak in Hujiang City. Large-scale public duels do not occur often, so card masters in other parts of Mailong Country are also paying attention to it.
During the remaining five days, the confident Wang Baitao often appeared in the public eye, using the media to show his good side, attracting many fans and making many people feel good about him through his conversation.
After all, who doesn’t like a sunny and cheerful boy? Even men think Wang Baitao is handsome when he has a hearty smile.
As for Lu Yan, no one could find him. It seemed as if he had completely disappeared or died in some corner. The media who wanted to interview him could not find Lu Yan at all.
The time before the duel passed like this, and it was two hours before the duel.
Jiang Jiu was drinking strawberry milk when she suddenly stopped sucking on the straw, loosened her grip and looked outside the shop. The old man came to her shop on time and said with a smile:
"Why, you don't plan to go to the scene?"
"It's the same everywhere. I just need to keep an eye on you."
Jiang Jiu said casually, his eyes fixed on the TV hanging in the store, which showed the duel scene. Wang Baitao had arrived long ago and was still showing off his personality, with many members of the Wang family following him.
The Li family sent Li Chuang, Li Xisheng and a group of card masters. In short, all the people present were young people.
Another protagonist, Lu Yan, was late in arriving, and the audience and people at the scene began to whisper, thinking that Lu Yan might be scared.
The two Wang brothers took advantage of the situation and started to speak out, choosing to play the villain to the end: "You are just a dead leftover. You got angry and attacked us Wang family members earlier. Now you don't dare to fight our eldest brother if you really want to!"
There were still thirty minutes left before the duel started. When more and more people thought that Lu Yan didn't dare to come, Lu Yan finally arrived, looking exhausted.
He patted the dust off his head and stood in front of Wang Baitao. Compared with the shining eldest son of the Wang family, he, the "eldest son of the Lu family", who was nothing, was not ugly in appearance, but his aura was much duller.
"You went and did something."
Wang Baitao asked with a frown.
"I went to the card area and swiped some cards. I'm not late, am I?"
Lu Yan said this casually, which made the young master of the Wang family want to perform again. He raised his hand and said to the witness beside him: "Postpone the start time of the battle to two hours later. I am not prepared to fight an opponent who is not in his prime."
"It's the same thing when you enter the card area. How about you don't come looking for me then?"
With a sneer, Lu Yan made an unreasonable request. Wang Baitao agreed without hesitation: "Okay, let's go in!"
Suddenly, people started posting comments in the Security Bureau's live broadcast room, all expressing their love for Wang Baitao and their contempt for the villain Lu Yan.
This naturally had no impact on the battle. The two entered the area one after the other, and when they opened their eyes again, they did not see their enemy at close range.
All the drones placed in the card area took off at this time, and the security personnel at the exit of the card area began to look for the two people. The first one to be found was still Wang Baitao.
He stood on the plain outside the mountains, motionless, as if he was planning to wait two hours before looking for Lu Yan. In short, he looked like a master.
Lu Yan was found more than ten minutes later. He did not move, but summoned his own cards. The skeletons emitting cold air began to erect thick ice walls in the forest, as if intending to turn the forest into a maze and make it his home.
It looks like a maze created by Hou Gu Bing alone, but in fact it is only responsible for the black central part. Most of the blue ice walls were created by Lu Yan consuming energy.
Seeing that a fight would not break out in a short time, some spectators immediately went to do other things and planned to come back two hours later.
Lu Yan was just delaying time until the day ended and dusk fell.
The time in the Beast Mountain area is basically the same as the outside world. It was a little after four in the afternoon, and two hours later it was six o'clock. The sun set in the west, the moon hung in the sky, and stars began to appear.
Feeling the starlight and moonlight gradually filling the air, Lu Yan finally stood up, raised his hand to pat his dusty clothes, and pulled out the remaining three cards.
This time, he would avoid fighting himself if possible, leaving it entirely to his summons.
From the audience's perspective, Lu Yan summoned a ball of black mist, and the two girls didn't look very powerful at all. On the other side, Wang Baitao waited for the time to come, then stood up and took action, calling out his own cards.
The first to come out were two extremely strong bulls with a chariot hanging on their backs. Wang Baitao climbed onto the chariot and shook the reins. The two bulls immediately started running, trampling the soil and dust with their powerful limbs.
"Everyone, look! This is the summon that Senior Wang Baitao often uses in school competitions. It's called the [Conqueror Chariot], and it's a 1-star Silver card."
A female anchor was explaining the battle to her viewers, introducing the well-known cards. From the word "senior", it could be seen that she was also a student of Jingling College.
"As for Mr. Lu Yan's card, well, it doesn't look very impressive. Is there anything special about it?"
