Chapter 184 Danli 18 The Truth

Xie Wanzhou said calmly, "Wen Li, you can't escape now."

Everyone looked down at her, leaving her standing there alone, her face filled with confusion, doubt, astonishment, sadness, and anger...

"With so many people, Lord Xie, you really think too highly of me."

"The fact that demon hunters from all over the country have gathered in Danli for me is not something that happened in just a day or two, so you wanted to kill me from the very beginning?"

"You've been plotting against me all along! And all of you! You've all conspired against me!"

"Why? Because of the Jiang family? Or am I blocking anyone's way?"

She spoke through gritted teeth, but Xie Wanzhou lowered his head and remained silent, only looking at her coldly. The thousands of demon hunters present also looked at her coldly, without uttering a word, making her seem like a madwoman.

Wen Li twisted her wrist, gripped the long sword tightly, and pointed it directly at Xie Wanzhou, who was on the higher level, and the group of accomplices standing beside him.

Her eyes were red, tears welling up but refusing to fall. She tilted her head back, her face full of stubbornness, despite her injuries and the ruthless determination she exuded that seemed to want to tear everyone to pieces.

"Xie Wanzhou! You treacherous, despicable, shameless, cunning, two-faced fool! And all of you dull-witted, utterly stupid idiots!"

"You think you can kill me? What right do you have to kill me? Let me tell you, even if all of you came at me together, you would never be a match for me."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"I didn't leave to escape, but out of a sense of mercy, I wanted to let you go. You bunch of fools dared to come here to die! I couldn't very well refuse you!"

"I'm telling you, tonight, tonight I will kill you all! I'll skin you alive, tear you to pieces, and none of you will escape..."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Wen Li cursed angrily, her chest heaving, her heart filled with grievances and resentment with nowhere to vent.

No one in the entire Xie mansion responded to her except for the Second Master beside her; after she finished cursing, he would repeat the same curse.

"Xie Wanzhou! Have you lost your mind? You should know that the Jiang family is innocent! The Jiang family has not colluded with demons. If you can't find out the truth, you don't need to lie to me like this. I, Wen Li, act with integrity. I took back Hua Yu and stopped Gui Gu from being unsealed because I am a member of the Jiang family, and I have a sense of righteousness!"

“I’m telling you, every single member of the Jiang family colludes with demons, and you bunch of scoundrels…”

The long knife fell from her hand, and Wen Li suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching her heart with her hand, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably from the pain, and she couldn't muster any strength.

She strained to look up at the people in front of her, her eyes fixed on them as if she wanted to glare them to death.

Xie Wanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Hua Yu was in her hands. If she used Hua Yu, their side would suffer heavy losses if a real fight broke out.

"It seems that my elixir has finally taken effect."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The second master circled around her, calling out incessantly, and tried to pull her away by biting her clothes.

As soon as Wen Li opened her mouth, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth; she couldn't speak at all.

"Host, what you just ate wasn't medicine, it was poison..."

Si Xiaxia spoke sadly, she didn't understand, why? Why did they kill her host? Why? Why? Why...

"Wen Li, do you even deserve to mention the Jiang family? Do you even deserve to speak up for the Jiang family?"

"Besides Jiang Yanhong, how many members of the Jiang family do you know? Do you know how many people have died for the Jiang family?"

Xie Wanzhou's gaze fell on the longsword lying on the ground. "You think you're worthy of using this sword?"

"Lord Xie, stop wasting your breath on her! That witch should have died long ago!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Unable to move Wenli, the Second Master could only yell at the people surrounding them, but his voice was drowned out by the overwhelming insults.

Those people who were just mute have started talking now...

"This is a jinx, a plague! Killing her today is doing justice on behalf of Heaven!"

"I told you long ago that we should have killed Jiang Yanhong and her together back then! If it weren't for Prime Minister Wen stopping us, she would have been dead long ago!"

"She was a plague when she was in Beijing! Anyone who came near her would die! She should have been strangled at birth!"

"If Jiang Yanhong knew the truth about the Jiang family being wiped out, she might really strangle her..."

"Pah! If it were my daughter, I'd kick her to death even before she was born! She's a menace!"

Chaoyan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and she couldn't help but defend Wenli: "She doesn't know anything about her background either. Besides, she has saved many people over the years. During the days I worked with her, she really risked her life to save everyone..."

"Save people? General Chaoyan, do you even know the saying 'You can know a person's face but not their heart'? Who knows what this plague is up to! I think she's been wanting to steal Huayu for a long time!"

"Yes! She probably already knew the truth! She pretended to be a demon slayer just to deceive us..."

"Save people? Bah! She's the one who got us into this mess..."

……

Wen Li was writhing in pain. At first, she wanted to argue and curse, but she couldn't do it. Her body was in more and more pain, and eventually she couldn't hear anything. She could only feel her soul being slowly pulled away.

Bloodshot eyes filled the whites of her eyes, but Wen Li's gaze remained fixed on the people around her who were whispering amongst themselves. She was unwilling! She refused to accept it! She didn't want to die!

They wanted to kill her! But she couldn't let them have her way! She couldn't die, she couldn't die!

They're the ones who deserve to die! Xie Wanzhou, that liar, is the one who should die!

She's going to kill them! She's going to kill them all! She won't let any of those who tried to kill her get away with it!

Wen Li stared with reddened eyes, tears streaming down her face. She tried to grab the jade pendant off her body, but she couldn't move. So she looked at the Second Master, signaling him to help her...

But the second master was only focused on pulling her...

Si Xiaxia was completely bewildered. Amidst the cacophony of curses, she couldn't quite understand what they were saying.

"Stop talking nonsense! This poison is already corroding her soul. We must make the Demon Lord's soul disappear now, or the mortal realm will become her demon realm in the future!"

"Soul scattered! Soul scattered!"

A curse mark appeared where Wen Li was, and everyone cast a spell together. The pain of her soul being extracted caused Wen Li to lose control of her body.

Fortunately, at that moment, the second master met her gaze.

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning seemed to strike down from the heavens, accompanied by a rain of sword-like lightning that fell beforehand.

Second Master bit off the jade pendant.

Her soul bounced back into her body. Wen Li's eyes were bloodshot, and demonic energy overflowed. With just a wave of her hand, she blocked the heavenly lightning, and all the swords changed direction.

Many people couldn't block his sword; blood splattered on the ground, and their bodies fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. What was going on? All eyes turned to Xie Wanzhou.

Xie Wanzhou gripped his sword tightly, staring down at the blood-soaked girl in the center, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Demonic bones? They're actually on her?

"I said I was leaving because I was being kind and wanted to spare you. Did you really think I was joking?"

"None of you will leave here alive!"

Blood was still dripping from the corner of her mouth, but the pervasive smell of blood made her feel at ease. Flower Rain flew automatically into her hand. Wen Li straightened up, her red hair ribbon fluttering in the air along with her long, black hair. A smirk played on her lips, her eyes filled with disdain, her attitude arrogant.

A group of demon hunters, emboldened by their courage, charged towards her, but Wen Li simply waved her hand, and the group fell backward.

Even if all 100,000 demon hunters of Tianqu City attacked together, they might not be a match for her.

"Wen Li, how many more people are you going to kill?!"

Wen Li looked up and met Xie Wanzhou's cold gaze.

"I'm the one who harmed people? You're the ones who deserve to die!"

"Wen Li, you weren't satisfied with wiping out the Jiang family, or causing demons to plague the people of the world, now you want to kill everyone else too!"

When such a serious charge was leveled against her, Wen Li found it laughable.

"Xie Wanzhou, is your stinking mouth spewing shit right now?"

"Wen Li, I don't care whether you believe it or not, the fact is that everyone in the Jiang family died because of you."

"Die because of me? Ha..."

Wen Li said sarcastically, "Hey Xie, let me remind you, I wasn't even born when they died."

Xie Wanzhou looked at her with a serious expression, and Wen Li couldn't help but feel flustered.

"The Jiang family died because of you. Ask the demonic bones within you, ask the Flower Rain in your hand, and ask the demonic energy that surrounds you—aren't you the culprit who wiped out the Jiang family!"
