Chapter 66 Because of the Evil
"Wenren Huai is dead?"
Jiang Yu dressed neatly and washed his face with cold water before his mind finally came to its senses. Then Sang Yang told him that Wen Ren Huai was dead.
Yuan Heng, who was waiting outside, was called in by them after she had packed up. Jiang Yu poured a glass of cold water for each of them and asked in surprise, "How did he die?"
Although he kept saying that she wouldn't live long, but when it came down to it, compared to his words that had no factual basis, the facts in front of everyone showed that he was the one who wouldn't live long.
His own body was one of them. Before the matter was exposed, he refused the pills she gave him. After the matter was exposed, she never gave him any more. His body, which had been attacked by the blood formation, was already dying. Not only did it look shabby on the outside, but it was also rotten on the inside.
Furthermore, after what he had done, even if he was lucky enough to leave the dungeon, there would probably be many immortal sects outside issuing hunt orders for him. Given his current situation, he probably could not escape these hunts.
But Jiang Yu really didn't expect that he would be gone so soon. Yesterday he was still confidently talking to her about the Way of Heaven and the Savior. Seeing his energy when he said that she would not live long, she thought that he should be able to hold on until they left Lingdu, right?
Was he silenced in the middle of the night by Jing Mo, who he was sure had already woken up?
Or was he already not doing well, and the good spirits she saw him in yesterday were just a last gasp of his former glory?
She looked at Sang Yang who brought her the news. He first glanced at Yuan Heng, and seeing that his senior brother had no intention of speaking, he said, "He tried to escape from prison last night, but he made quite a noise. When the people guarding him passed by, he snatched a guard's sword and committed suicide. He could not be saved."
"Later, when the sect leader and his men went in to check on the situation, they found that he had left a suicide note." Sang Yang continued, "It said a bunch of things like he knew he was wrong, but he didn't regret it, and asked us to treat his wife well--"
She paused slightly, pursed her lips before continuing, "He also said that everything he told you was true, saying that the savior would die without anyone to save him."
"Humph."
Jiang Yu snorted coldly and put the cup of cold water on the table. The cold water in the cup overflowed a little with her movements and fell on the table. "Why didn't he treat Miss Chu well when he was alive? Now that he is dead, he knows to tell others that he is loyal and righteous. He is about to die, and he still remembers to scare me."
She turned her head to avoid their sight and looked out the window. Her eyes had become accustomed to the light and were no longer blinded by it. She was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Does Wei Xu know about this?"
Speaking of this, the two people opposite also fell silent.
"We went to Master Wei's house first." Sang Yang said dryly, "but he set up a formation at the door."
Jiang Yu: “.”
Jiang Yu understood, meaning Wei Xu is still sleeping, right?
"We called him a few times." Sang Yang looked at her and continued, "But the formation seemed to be for soundproofing, so it was difficult for us to force our way in."
In fact, the formation Wei Xu drew was simple, and the demonic energy was not strong. It was obvious that he drew it casually just because he was dissatisfied with the noise outside.
It was not impossible for her and Yuan Heng to break the formation, but the news of Wen Ren Huai's death was not a big deal to Wei Xu who was sleeping soundly in the room. There was no need for them to break the formation and wake him up from the bed.
Jiang Yu was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he nodded slightly and drank a sip of cold water.
Sang Yang watched her swallow the water and said, "The Immortal Master ordered us to come here and said that if you wake up, we should go to the front yard together."
Jiang Yu had no problem with it and said they could set off right away, and she could even go to Wei Xu's place to help wake people up.
So Sang Yang and Yuan Heng watched her stretch out her hand to break the formation on the door, and then she lay on the door and shouted Wei Xu's name until something fell from behind the door. She pushed it gently and strode into Wei Xu's room.
Yuan Heng and Sang Yang stood there, one frowned slightly unconsciously, and the other looked at the other who frowned unconsciously.
Sang Yang blinked, thinking back to the time when Yuan Heng and Wei Xu rescued Jiang Yu in the secret room faster than any of them, and the time when the Sect Master asked her and Fang He to talk yesterday and secretly inquired about Jiang Yu and Yuan Heng, and then to her senior brother's frown. She suddenly felt as if she had noticed something.
Originally, she didn't feel anything when they were rescuing people in the secret room. It was not until yesterday when she discovered that the sect leader could not hide his curiosity when he questioned Yuan Heng and Jiang Yu that she vaguely realized that something was wrong, especially when Fang He had an "I knew it" expression on his face.
She coughed lightly, tilted her head slightly to pay attention to Yuan Heng's expression, and whispered tentatively: "They have a really good relationship as siblings."
Yuan Heng hummed, his brows no longer furrowed, but his eyes never left the door.
Sang Yang carefully withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead, and straightened the corners of his mouth.
Wei Xu couldn't be considered uncooperative. He came out cursing, and after being kicked by Jiang Yu, he remained quiet all the way and came last before following them to the front yard.
There were quite a few people in the front yard.
Jiang Yu and his companions walked into the main reception hall. In addition to the people from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect and Chu Qingyue and her servant, there were also many common people.
Jun Mo is here too.
He seemed to have gotten much better, his face had become much rosier. He stood behind the crowd, gently hugging Uncle Cheng who was crying, and said something with his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
Jiang Yu observed him for a moment and saw that he looked much better. Just as he was about to look away, the other party suddenly glanced over here.
His expression was complicated, but it changed immediately when he met Jiang Yu's gaze. He smiled at her and mouthed "thank you".
Jiang Yu didn't think much about it, smiled and shook his head, then walked forward through the crowd.
The crying sound in my ears never stopped.
Jiang Yu tilted her head to glance at the crying people. While she felt some sympathy, she recalled the fierce emotions she had experienced in previous times. She suddenly became alert and turned her head away immediately, trying her best to ignore the feeling that was gradually welling up in her heart.
But everything she did was in vain. She suddenly felt a strong sense of sadness, her nose was sore, and she almost cried.
Unable to stop it, Jiang Yu simply gave up and let the feelings of heartache and anger flood his heart at the same time.
She recalled the secret room. The site of the blood sacrifice was so large that she was afraid that the ground beneath their feet was empty.
Countless people had come here full of hope, asking Wenren Huai for help as if they were grasping at the last straw, but they had never imagined that their abducted family members were right under the land beneath their feet, and one of the murderers of their family members was the city lord who had comforted them in front of them not to be afraid.
Trust was betrayed, relatives were killed, and those who returned were bedridden due to massive bleeding, waiting for doctors and medical personnel to come every day.
all of these--
Jiang Yu paused slightly, but he had neither the strength nor the will to stop the hatred rising in his heart.
All this is because of Jing Mo, because of the evil demon.
