Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

The deputy city lord of Xuanyin City. Strangely enough, the system did not introduce Yan Wenmo too much. Generally, there are only two types of people that the system does not introduce: one is a useless NPC, and the other is an extremely perverted and crazy murderer.

As the deputy city lord of Xuanyin City, she certainly cannot be a useless NPC, so she is just a murderer.

Originally, Yan Wenmo was curious about what method the deputy city lord would use to kill or injure Lin Yueru, but he didn't expect that she would use the Ghost King Sect's soul-locking chain.

[Soul-locking chain, a special chain used by Ghost King Sect monks to imprison or even devour souls. It is usually used to summon souls and demand lives, or even to kill and rob.]

The moment she saw the Soul-Locking Chain, Yan Wenmo subconsciously raised her eyebrows. She had never expected that the Wanmo Sect was full of hidden talents, and even people from the Ghost King Sect were among them.

No one knew better than Yan Wenmo what kind of people the Ghost King Sect's cultivators were like, so she looked at Lin Yueru, who was fighting with the deputy city lord, with a serious expression, and then said to Xuanyuan Jing, who was standing beside her:

"ready or Not?!"

Seeing her serious face, Xuanyuan Jing nodded subconsciously, then took out the thunder god vine and looked around vigilantly. Seeing this, Yan Wenmo took action without hesitation when the soul-locking chain rushed towards Lin Yueru, and rescued Lin Yueru first.

Xuanyuan Jing stood in front of the two of them, forming seals with his hands, and instantly separated the thunder god vine into dozens of roots.

Dozens of thunder vines and dozens of chains were entangled together. Then, without waiting for the deputy city lord to use his power, Xuanyuan Jing took the lead in attacking. There was a burst of sparks and lightning, plus the roar of thunder and lightning brought by the thunder vines. Soon, the dozens of chains were shattered by the thunder vines and were of no use at all.

The deputy city lord looked at Xuanyuan Jing with fear, and couldn't help but asked cautiously and tentatively:

"Who are you?! Why are you here?!"

Xuanyuan Jing was about to answer her question, but Yan Wenmo reminded her:

"Don't say your name, or she will curse you."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing looked at the deputy city lord with an even more alert expression, and subconsciously stood in front of Yan Wenmo.

Yan Wenmo ignored these details and asked curiously:

"You didn't give anyone to her to teach or deal with, did you?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru, who was rescued by her and then breathing with difficulty while covering the extremely hideous wound on her shoulder, was stunned for a moment. She looked at Yan Wenmo in surprise, not caring about her own injuries. She looked weak, but in fact she was shocked and panicked and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you mean by that?!"

Yan Wenmo looked at Lin Yueru awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke honestly:

"The Ghost King Sect's people love to torture people. The more resentful and hateful a person is, the more they like it. Therefore, once someone falls into their hands, the only outcome is a death worse than death."

Hearing this, Lin Yue subconsciously widened her eyes. She looked at Yan Wenmo in shock, her whole body trembling.

With a little hope, a little expectation, a little anticipation, and even a little hope, she asked eagerly:

"What if...what if they are children?! They..."

Regarding Lin Yueru's humble expectations, Yan Wenmo looked at her with pity and said sympathetically:

"Children are even more miserable. There are more and more ways to torture them. Even death is a luxury. Therefore..."

At this point, she thought of a possibility, looked at Lin Yueru hesitantly, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"You won't be late..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yueru violently pushed Yan Wenmo away and rushed forward again. Her expression was even more angry than before, and even every move she made was filled with deep hatred and murderous intent.

The two of them were fighting, and it was impossible to tell who was who. Xuanyuan Jing was afraid of hurting Lin Yueru, so she had to retreat to the back and asked Yan Wenmo in surprise:

"What's wrong with her?!"

Yan Wenmo touched his nose guiltily and muttered in a somewhat bewildered manner:

"Maybe she discovered the cause of something, so she's going crazy. After all, that was the only bloodline of her benefactor, but because of her negligence,..."

At this point, she looked at Lin Yueru with a complicated expression, not knowing whether to sympathize with her? ! Or should she call her stupid? !

Lin Yueru chased the deputy city lord and hacked at him like a madman. Her every move was filled with the determination to die and murderous intent. Even her attacks were exchanges of injury for injury, life for life.

The child of her benefactor, the only blood of her benefactor, escaped from the wolf's mouth but fell into the tiger's den because of her momentary negligence. Yet she knew nothing about it and thought he was living a really good life.

No wonder he said he had no choice, no wonder he wanted to run away from Xuanyin City. If he didn't run, if he didn't leave Xuanyin City, would he be tortured to death by this crazy woman here? !

She had no doubt about the reliability of Yan Wenmo's words, because there was no need for Yan Wenmo to lie to her about this matter.

Therefore, what Yan Wenmo said was true. After Chi Weiming came to Xuanyin City with him, he did not live a good life as he expected, but lived in hell instead.

How could she not notice anything?! How could she not notice anything?! How could she ignore all the abnormalities of the child?!

Did he really fall when he said he fell?! Did he really get bruised when he said he accidentally got bruised?! Did he really get bruised when he said it was his fault?!

That's why the kid likes to torture people, that's why he becomes so bad, that's why he... But, isn't this all his own fault? !

If I had noticed it earlier, how could the child be tortured by such a person, and how could he become like this today? !

He tortured others because others had tortured him in the same way. He could not find a way out, no solution to his nightmare, so he could only vent his helplessness, anger and hatred by torturing others and making them suffer as he did.

In fact, the person he should hate the most is obviously her, she is the one who should hate the most, why... why does she still say that she is his only relative in the world, she is not worthy of being his relative at all, not at all.

Angrily, he stabbed the sword in his hand towards the deputy city lord's shoulder, but the deputy city lord grabbed the blade without hesitation and broke it. Lin Yueru looked at the crazy woman in front of her and couldn't help but asked in a hoarse and almost crazy voice:

"Back then, was it you who caused that child to sneak out of Xuanyin City? Was it you who tortured him to make him leave me? Was it you!!!"

In response to Lin Yueru's question, the deputy city lord sneered, and then half teasingly, half mockingly said:

"You mean Chi Weiming?! He is such a good toy. He is only eight years old, but he endured all my torture for you."

As she spoke, her expression became inexplicably excited, half crazy, half evilly excited, she said:

"I threw him into a snake cave and an ant nest, but he just wouldn't die. I beat him, scolded him, and abused him, but he still wouldn't die. I told him that if you dare to tell the city lord that I beat you, I will kill the city lord and then kill you, and he will just let me do whatever I want."

At this point, her excited expression suddenly turned ferocious, and she even said with anger and indescribable morbidity:

"But he was really disobedient. I just wanted him to help me kill you, but he refused me and ran away. If he hadn't refused to cooperate, this Xuanyin City would have been mine a long time ago."

The deputy city lord said this very calmly, but Lin Yueru's eyes were bloodshot. She looked at the deputy city lord with a ferocious expression in front of her and swung the broken sword at her without hesitation.

She screamed and yelled with all her might, wishing she could eat his flesh and drink his blood before she would be satisfied.

"He is only eight years old, he is still a child, why do you torture him like this, do you have any humanity, you..."

In response to Lin Yueru's almost collapsed questioning, the deputy city lord looked at Lin Yueru innocently, and said in a morbid and satisfied tone:

"Because they are children, they are easy to deceive. Just tell them that if you don't listen, I will kill the person you love the most. Then they will obey you. It's so much fun. I like children the most. They are the most fun."
