Although Wen Wan had already thought of all the plans, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After half an hour, seeing no movement, he asked his contracted beast Huan to speed up the discovery of the soldier's body by other people.

Not long after, Shi Yanling also came back.

A whole scarlet black fog seeped in from the tiny cracks in the window and eventually transformed into a man wearing a gold and black brocade robe.

"How are you doing?" This is what Shi Yanling asked as soon as he came back.

A deep and magnetic voice sounded beside her ear. Wen Wan's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She said softly, "Everything went well. In order to avoid being discovered by others that it was me, I found a scapegoat."

Not fearing that avoiding murder was not enough to put Yue Xiaoliu in jail, she also asked Shi An, who was able to store demonic energy, to inject some of the demonic energy absorbed from Shi Yanling into the image stone, which would naturally cause a bigger commotion.

When asked by Shi Yanling, Wen Wan recounted the whole process.

Shi Yanling frowned slightly after hearing this, a little skeptical: "Are you sure it's foolproof?"

Although those five great elders have passed away, apart from the city lord, no one knows whether there are any other masters hiding in the dark in Yongning City.

As a Jindan-stage cultivator, can she really fool everyone?

Wen Wan was unhappy: "You don't believe me?"

Shi Yanling said nothing, walked to the couch and sat down, with a slight flick of his sleeves, a black crystal box, a magical instrument, appeared in the room.

Looking at the magical instrument engraved with the unique patterns of the Xue family, Wen Wan was delighted, "You succeeded?"

"Yeah." Shi Yanling responded calmly, "I contacted my subordinates in advance and asked them to disrupt the military forces in the city. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was still going smoothly. However..."

When he said this, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"What's wrong with you?!" Seeing this, Wen Wan's heart instantly rose.

He can't afford to get into trouble. Now that things have come to this, he can only carry out the plan smoothly, otherwise it will be difficult to end.

Shi Yanling saw that she was indeed worried, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowed down his tone, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. She was just injured by a hidden weapon when she entered the dark room."

"I will help you with my blood." Wen Wan used the spiritual blade to cut a wound on her wrist without hesitation.

In addition to the pros and cons, there is indeed a real worry in my mind.

Shi Yanling did not refuse and drank Wen Wan's blood like a vampire.

After a while, Shi Yanling took out the medicine and sprinkled it on her wrist. Then he held her in his arms and whispered, "The city's secrets have been leaked. I think they will find out soon."

Wen Wan snuggled into his arms and asked, "What should we do?"

Shi Yanling lowered his voice: "After I make sure your plan goes smoothly, I will leave the city and join my people. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the demons to attack the city. You dress up well and let them see how stunningly beautiful my concubine is."

"Hateful! Always making fun of others." Wen Wan felt relieved after hearing him say that.

Shi Yanling frowned at her suddenly sweet voice and said nothing more.

*

While waiting, everything went as Wen Wan wished, and Huan came back near dusk.

And there was news that enemy troops had entered the city and killed soldiers.

However, after some investigation, it was discovered that no demons had broken in, and the images were finally recorded in a photo stone found outside the bamboo forest.

The existence of this evidence points directly to the disciple of Wangyue Sect, 'Yue Xiaoliu'.

After some explanation, she was temporarily detained because she had not clearly cleared herself of suspicion.

Hearing this news, Wen Wan's smile brightened a little, "Very good, next... I will send her to the underworld."

Fantasy waved its wings: "Everything will be as you wish."

Shi Yanling waited for them to finish speaking before he said, "Didn't you ask me to help you kill her?"

"I'm just talking. I don't want to rely on others blindly. Besides, now that I have the chance, I have to avenge this blood feud myself." Although Wen Wan thought so at first, now that she has the chance, she naturally prefers to do it herself.

The sense of accomplishment and pleasure brought by this will be magnified several times.

Shi Yanling had heard her talk about the feud between her and that Yue Xiaoliu these days.

Although I have never met Yue Xiaoliu in person, I don’t have any strong feelings about it.

What is the meaning of trampling, insulting and killing relatives?

The weak should be trampled upon.

In this world, the strong have always been respected.

This is true for humans, and for demons... as well.

All the humiliations in his memory flashed by, Shi Yanling's face turned pale, and he rubbed his forehead: "Since everything is developing according to your expectations, I will leave the city first. When the city gate is breached by my people tomorrow, I hope you can stay with me."

Hearing this, Wen Wan clenched her hands subconsciously.

Does this mean she wants to reveal her intentions to everyone?

No, she couldn't let others laugh at her and hate her, absolutely not!

And what if he didn’t become the Demon Lord like in his previous life?

You must know that although he is the prince of the demon clan, he is now just an adopted son who is trampled on and despised by the concubines in the harem, brothers and sisters, and suffers humiliation and pain.

Even if he made a contribution this time, the current Demon Lord would not give the throne to his adopted son.

What happened in this life had already deviated from what happened in the previous life, and she couldn't sacrifice her future to gamble.

She couldn't gamble. Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "...Ah Yan, can you not publicize our relationship to the outside world for now? I want to help you more, and staying in the sect will provide you with more useful information, so I want to continue staying in the sect for now."

tsk...

Shi Yanling looked at her pitiful face. Even though he didn't know what she was thinking exactly, after living in the intrigue-filled demon world for so many years, he could guess some of her little thoughts.

He didn't say anything, just responded quietly and left.

There's not much to say.

Anyway, she was just a plaything that could be discarded at any time.

When the last drop of her value is squeezed out, that will be her death.

After watching him leave, Wen Wan sorted out her clothes and walked out of the room.

When she got out of the backyard, she saw a large group of soldiers defending the area. She pretended to be confused: "There are so many more people? What's going on?"

The soldier guarding the front hesitated for a moment, but still gave a brief account of what happened. "Ms. Yue... Anyway, we still don't have a definite answer as to whether she is the murderer or colluding with the demons."

After listening patiently, Wen Wan's expression was not very good, and she looked stunned: "What? Impossible... I don't believe Miss Yue would do such a cruel thing!"

The soldier sighed, "We don't believe it either, but now the leaders and elders of the five major sects have gone back, and Miss Yue has no evidence to prove her innocence. To be on the safe side, we can only detain her temporarily."

"No, I believe she is innocent! How could she brutally kill the soldiers who guarded the border town and devoted their lives to the human race?" Wen Wan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "Can I go see her? I don't believe she would do this!"
