Bei Ming Haotian's blood-red eyes were struggling between black and red. A dark cloud blocked the moonlight, and when he suddenly saw Nangong Ziyan's face, Bei Ming Haotian regained his senses for a moment. Just as he was about to release Nangong Ziyan, the moon suddenly peeked through the clouds again.
In an instant, Bei Ming Haotian gripped Nangong Ziyan even tighter.
"Ugh!" Nangong Ziyan groaned in pain.
"Kill her, kill her..." A voice kept reminding him in his mind.
"Bang...!" Bei Ming Haotian threw Nangong Ziyan away, and Nangong Ziyan's delicate body was thrown straight to the ground.
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan cried out in pain. The pain from her limbs and bones made her writhe in agony, feeling as if her internal organs were about to break.
"Ah...!" Bei Ming Haotian roared madly, his demonic nature even stronger than before.
The objects around him were sent flying by the force of his cultivation, constantly hitting the fleeing people.
A sharp, thin splinter flew straight toward Baili Yuechan. Baili Yuechan was so shocked that she couldn't move. Her usual calm and wisdom had vanished completely, and her mind went blank. Just as the splinter was about to pierce her brow, Dongfang Yifei suddenly appeared and instantly moved away from Baili Yuechan. "Bang!" The splinter pierced through the pillar behind her.
Exhausted, Baili Yuechan collapsed into Dongfang Yifei's arms, looking up at him with lingering fear, never expecting him to save her.
"You owe me a life," Dongfang Yifei whispered with a wicked smile in Baili Yuechan's ear.
Suddenly releasing Baili Yuechan, he was about to go and save Nangong Ziyan.
Nangong Ziyan rose from the ground and used her meager cultivation to fly closer to Beiming Haotian.
"Haotian, no, please, stop!" Nangong Ziyan pleaded in anguish. When she saw Haotian's eyes turn black, he recognized her, which showed that she could really control the demonic nature within him. However, she needed to get close to Haotian to do so.
"Kill...kill!" Bei Ming Haotian's eyes were bloodshot as he waved his arms wildly, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that destroyed everything around him.
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan unleashed all the energy hidden within her body, rushing towards Beiming Haotian without regard for anything else. Wood chips and leaves constantly swept past her, cutting her skin and causing blood to seep from the wounds. The pain had already numbed Nangong Ziyan at this moment; she focused all her consciousness on Beiming Haotian. Soon, her pure white dress was stained with blood.
Dongfang Yifei stared blankly at the slender figure rushing away. Could she really be willing to risk her life for Beiming Haotian? Jealousy instantly filled every cell in his body. At this moment, he wished he were Beiming Haotian.
"Haotian, Haotian, don't be afraid, Yan'er is here, Yan'er will always stay by Haotian's side..."
Nangong Ziyan hugged the frenzied Beiming Haotian tightly from behind.
"Ah...!" Bei Ming Haotian suddenly lowered his arms, staring blankly ahead, no longer roaring.
Everything around us seemed to be frozen in place.
The people who were fleeing in all directions stopped and stared at this bizarre scene.
"Haotian." Nangong Ziyan moved forward with a pained expression, still holding onto Beiming Haotian tightly.
Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked up at Bei Minghaotian's dazed eyes with heartache. He had calmed down, which was good!
"Haotian, look at me, it's me, Yan'er! I'm your Yan'er..."
Nangong Ziyan gently touched his blood-covered handsome face with his slender, blood-stained hand. His heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. She was too late. She was too late. He had to bear all of this alone.
“Yan…er…” The words came out one by one from Bei Ming Haotian’s mouth.
Nangong Ziyan smiled brightly. He remembered her; even though she was controlled by the demon, he still remembered her.
"Kill him. We can't let this devil stay in this world."
Suddenly, from within the lingering crowd, a sharp voice, imbued with a spiritual quality, pierced through everyone's eardrums.
Nangong Ziyan gripped Beiming Haotian's hand tightly and suddenly looked up at the source of the sound.
How could it be Bei Ming Yaowei?
Bei Ming Haotian, who had originally planned to return, turned back after hearing Nangong Ziyan's voice.
"Don't listen to Bei Ming Yaowei's nonsense." Nangong Ziyan looked at Bei Ming Yaowei with a gloomy face.
"Bei Ming Yaowei, stop talking nonsense! Haotian is not a demon at all. You deliberately incited these righteous people to kill Haotian. Do you dare to announce to the world that you killed Haotian's parents and seized the Bei Ming City Lord's Mansion? You, Bei Ming Yaowei, are a wolf in sheep's clothing, trying to use these chivalrous people to kill Haotian. Don't fall for Bei Ming Yaowei's trick. Bei Ming Yaowei wants to use you to eliminate future troubles. Don't let him use you." Nangong Ziyan's words were sharp and hit the nail on the head.
"Nangong Ziyan, you're talking nonsense! Who can prove that I killed Beiming Haotian's parents? You're just spouting lies. Don't believe her!" Beiming Yaowei's face turned red as Nangong Ziyan exposed his thoughts, and he hurriedly defended himself.
"Bei Ming Yaowei, stop making excuses. Everyone, all the ships on Lingxian Island have been destroyed. Bei Ming Yaowei's purpose is very simple: he wants to keep Haotian on the island and then use your sense of justice to kill him. Bei Ming Yaowei's purpose is obvious. You are all reasonable and chivalrous people. Even just looking at the fact that the ships were destroyed by someone with ulterior motives, you can see their purpose."
"Right? After Miss Nangong said that, things become clear." Some of the people who understood began to discuss.
