Chapter 183: Killing the Demoness

Looking at the corpse lying in front of her and recalling what she had done, Miao Qi gradually broke down.

How could this happen? How could this happen?

She clearly only wanted to kill the general and then take her father and mother back to the Miao Kingdom, so how did she end up killing so many people?

Miao Qi dared not look at the densely packed corpses any longer. She staggered to her feet, wanting to escape.

She ran into her courtyard and quickly led her father, mother, and brother away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the general's mansion, they saw countless people holding torches and blocking the entrance.

"Kill this witch and avenge the general!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then countless people followed suit.

"Kill the demoness and avenge the general!"

"Kill the demoness and avenge the general!"

Miao Qi was terrified as she watched countless people chanting this slogan. Her palms were sweating uncontrollably. She looked around nervously, wanting to explain, but she didn't know where to begin.

The people pressed closer and closer, their eyes filled with malice, determined to devour the family of four alive.

Miao Qi protected her father, mother, and brother as they walked inside, explaining in a panic, "I'm not... ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, a torch struck her arm, burning her so badly that she cried out in surprise.

"Quick! This witch is afraid of fire! Quickly grab a torch and burn her to death!"

In the crowd, someone shouted, and then countless torches came hurtling towards her.

Frightened, Miao Qi quickly formed hand seals, creating a barrier around herself.

She began to explain, "I'm not a witch, it's because of the general..."

"You're not a witch! Even a torch can't hurt you, so what are you if not a witch?"

The man in the crowd was furious and pointed at her, shouting, "You killed our general who was protecting us! We will never let you get away with this!"

As soon as these words were spoken, countless people were instantly aroused, echoing each other's sentiments.

Then they took more torches and started throwing them at her, one after another.

Although Miao Qi was inside the barrier and would not be harmed in the slightest, she was terrified by what she saw.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she felt extremely wronged.

She didn't know why she killed the general's entire family.

Miao Qi's head was throbbing more and more; that uncontrollable feeling was coming back.

The next second, she suddenly looked up, her eyes tinged with crimson, and her hands quickly formed hand seals, summoning a swarm of snakes.

Countless snakes crawled out from all directions and headed towards the clamoring crowd.

When Miao's father and mother saw this, they realized something was wrong and immediately tried to step forward to stop them.

But he had barely taken a step when the enraged crowd threw torches at him.

The fire quickly ignited their clothes, causing the elderly couple to writhe in agony from the heat.

But the fire couldn't be extinguished no matter what they did; it grew bigger and bigger until it engulfed the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Miao Qi immediately rushed forward to put out the fire, but as soon as she stepped out of the barrier, she was hit from behind by countless torches.

A hint of anger flashed in her eyes as she glared fiercely at the group of people.

For the first time, Miao Qi wanted to kill everyone, but she couldn't now; she had to save her father and mother first!

She quickly made hand seals, trying to extinguish the fire.

But no matter how she tried to extinguish the fire, she couldn't. She leaned closer to look and realized that this fire was unusual...

Miao Qi had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but the painful cries of her parents kept her from thinking about it.

Those bitten by the snake immediately collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying. Those who were not bitten, seeing this scene, became even more convinced that the person in front of them was a demoness.

"Witch! She's a witch! Kill her! Kill her now!"

Miao Qi heard the shouts behind her, turned around, and saw countless people rushing towards her with torches in hand.

She instinctively tried to protect her parents, but the next second, the crowd surged forward, and her back was struck by a torch, a burning pain shooting through her.

Miao Qi frantically tried to extinguish the fire, only to find that her father and mother had already passed away.

She trembled all over, ignoring the burns on her back, and checked again to make sure they were still alive.

But... he really did stop breathing.

Hatred surged within Miao Qi, and she quickly stood up, glaring fiercely at the person in front of her.

She rapidly formed hand seals, summoning the swarm of snakes while simultaneously using her own life essence to summon the spirits of the forest.

In an instant, people were either bitten by snakes or captured by monsters.

Miao Qi spared no one; no household in the entire town escaped her clutches.

They are all guilty. They are all murderers who killed their father and mother. They all deserve to die!

Miao Qi walked aimlessly through the streets, looking at the corpses lying everywhere, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She went to the outskirts of the city, found Qi Mo's remains, and sat down beside him.

Miao Qi knew that she had killed so many people, and she would definitely not escape divine retribution.

But now that things have come to this, she is no longer afraid of so-called divine retribution.

Miao Qi held Qi Mo's hand, leaned against the tree, closed her eyes, and waited for the divine punishment to arrive.

But the next second, a mark appeared between her eyebrows.

She stood up uncontrollably and walked blankly toward the town center.

Miao Qi stood in the center of the town and uncontrollably cut her wrist, dripping her blood onto the formation.

Upon seeing this scene, her eyes widened, and she instantly understood what she was doing.

This is feeding the formation with one's own life essence, and then cultivating more zombies!

She didn't want to do it, but her hands did it uncontrollably.

In an instant, Miao Qi came to her senses and realized that she had been cursed with a soul-capturing spell.

She panicked, watching as the formation sucked in all the corpses beside her, feeding them with her own blood and essence.

Miao Qi couldn't stop it and could only watch helplessly as one zombie after another was successfully fed.

She panicked terribly, but was powerless to stop it.

Until, a hundred years later.

Over the past century, she has relived her life countless times. Connecting all the things she couldn't understand, she finally understood the moment she met the mastermind behind it all.

It was an evil god! His soul was weak and he needed to absorb so many souls. He used himself as a catalyst to kill all the people in the town!

...

After listening to the woman in front of him finish speaking, Jingwu sighed deeply. Before he could speak, she spoke first.

"It's an evil god! He's the one pulling all this from behind the scenes! If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened!"

Miao Qi spoke painfully, her eyes filled with tears.

Jingwu looked at her and said, "The people in the town are innocent."

"Am I not innocent?" Miao Qi's eyes flashed with resentment as she stared straight at her. "If none of this had happened, I would have married Qi Mo long ago and lived a very happy life!"

"What do you want me to do?" Jingwu looked at her and asked seriously.

Miao Qi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Let me enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
