Chapter 55 That’s it "Twenty years ago, Jing Mo was sealed." Wen Renhuai's voice was as gentle as usual, without the anger caused by the interruption of the blood sacrifice, nor the panic caused by the exposure of his crimes. "When I came to Lingdu, I met the old city lord in a teahouse. He treated me with courtesy because of my good cultivation. Later, he and I became closer. I thought that I must have a place to stay, to leave a place for those evil cultivators who are still fighting for their beliefs, and the position of city lord will make it much easier for me to do things." He paused, and before he could say anything else, another trembling female voice sounded before him. "so--" He looked in the direction of the voice, and Wei Xu leaned sideways to leave him space so that he could fully see Chu Qingyue's figure. Chu Qingyue's face was still a little pale, but it was much better than before. Her pale lips were trembling slightly: "Did you bring the evil demon that my uncle encountered over there on purpose?" The look she gave him was no longer as gentle as before, but instead contained some fear that he could see at a glance. This fear did not seem to come from him. Wen Ren Huai knew what she was afraid of. She was afraid that her only relative would not die in the fight against the evil spirit, but die in his scheme. “No.” Wen Renhuai smiled, his tone was gentle, but his words were cruel, “There was no such thing as encountering evil spirits on the way home. I was the one who killed the old city lord. The injuries I suffered were not caused by risking my life to bring the old city lord home from the evil spirit.”
"His cultivation is much higher than mine. If we fight head-on, I have no chance of winning." He continued, tilting his head slightly, as if recalling, "Although he still took half of my life in the end, it's a pity that he was not on guard against me at first. When I attacked him, his first reaction was not to fight me off, but to ask me why." There was a buzzing in Chu Qingyue's head and tears gathered uncontrollably in her eyes. Her vision was a little blurry and she could not see Wen Renhuai's expression clearly. She could only vaguely see his lips opening and closing. Her brain ached, and she couldn't understand how Wen Ren Huai could say the word "unguarded" so casually. why? Her uncle treated him almost like his own son. "Why so many whys?" Wen Ren Huai continued, his eyes sweeping over the people around him who were staring at him intently, "He has no children. If I kill him and forge his will, I can naturally become the city lord. That's all." "What's the point of being a good person? It's better to--" Before he finished his words, the long sword on the platform that had been ignored by Jiang Yu and the others suddenly stood up and stabbed the ground fiercely, and a thick evil aura spread from it. "careful!" Fortunately, Jiang Yu and his men reacted in time and swung their swords in unison. The sword energy collided with the evil energy and dissipated each other, thus largely preventing the evil energy from affecting the people. The long sword stood on the ground, the sword body trembling, and the black evil energy around it was thick, but it was decreasing bit by bit. I don’t know if it’s because the blood sacrifice was disrupted. A figure suddenly rushed forward past Jiang Yu and the others. Yuan Heng's eyebrows jumped fiercely: "Stop him!" This was the first time they encountered a blood sacrifice, and there were too many uncertainties. Although the formation had been destroyed, they could not guarantee whether the remaining formation would produce any effects that they did not understand. This obviously wrong sword must not fall into Wen Ren Huai's hands. Su Ning in Jiang Yu's hand chased Wen Ren Huai directly. But Wen Ren Huai didn't seem to mind the attack from behind. His only focus was on the long sword on the platform. He didn't care at all about Su Ning who was stabbing from behind. Even though Su Ning was approaching, he didn't try to block her. He just barely avoided the fatal spot and let her stab into his body. He groaned, which brought him severe pain, but also made his brain, which was a little dizzy due to the backlash, clear up. The sharp sound of the flute rang out. Sang Yang's song was extremely aggressive. Except for herself who acted as if nothing had happened, everyone else, including Jiang Yu and the common people who were not listed as targets of attack, could not help but frown. Wen Ren Huai was caught off guard by the sound of the flute, and his brows furrowed with a look of pain on his face. He banged his head hard with his hands and injected some clean spiritual power, only then was he able to relieve the pain brought by the flute sound. Jiang Yu was about to follow, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of several civilians who accidentally fell down as they hurriedly tried to avoid the sword energy and evil spirits.
There are too many people here. If a big fight really breaks out, they can't guarantee that they won't accidentally hurt innocent people. Before turning around, Jiang Yu fed two more pills to Qin Yin, who had already woken up, and told her, "Take these people up first." Chu Qingyue immediately refused: "The young Taoist friends came for us, how can we keep a few of them here?" The people nearby also looked hesitant and didn't want to leave. Jiang Yu glanced at Qin Yin who also wanted to say something, and added: "My senior brother has already sent a letter to the master to ask the sect leader to send someone to resolve the blood formation. If nothing happens on the way, the people who are coming should be here soon." Chu Qingyue opened her mouth. Jiang Yu pushed the man out directly: "Don't worry, Wen Ren Huai suffered a backlash, and I have a magic weapon to protect myself. He can't do anything to us. It's the most dangerous for these people to stay here. Go up quickly and find a doctor to treat the wounds. That's the most important thing." She was very strong and pushed people with such force that no one could refuse. Chu Qingyue also took the people in the venue into consideration and did not insist on staying. She followed Jiang Yu's wishes and began to organize the people to leave. When Jiang Yu turned around, Wei Xu and Yuan Heng had already started fighting with Wen Ren Huai, and Fang He was also looking for an opportunity to attack. As soon as Jiang Yu raised his hand, Su Ning, who was standing beside Yuan Heng's legs, immediately flew back to her palm. The blood belonging to Wen Ren Huai flowed down the sword. She also shook her body quite smartly in Jiang Yu's hand, as if she was very disgusted with Wen Ren Huai's blood. Jiang Yu flew over and saw Wen Ren Huai already holding the sword, his face alternately fanatical and conflicted. No one knew what magical power this sword had, but Wen Ren held it in his arms, seeming to have put life and death aside. He completely ignored the injuries in his body that could break out at any time, and forcibly forced out his strength that had been weakened by the injuries. Yuan Heng and Wei Xu fought against him several times, but were unable to do anything to him. But he didn't know whether it was because he knew that they were protected by magical weapons or for some other reason, he was holding the evil-looking sword and just defending himself, without actively attacking them. Yuan Heng and the other two stood around him vigilantly, surrounding him in the center. He didn't seem to care about the situation around him. His mind became clear again. He watched Jiang Yu walk in with a complicated look in his eyes. The sword in his hand trembled, trying to escape his control. When Jiang Yu walked in, Wen Ren Huai suddenly smiled and said, "I know who you are." (End of this chapter)
