Revenge
Yi Wu was just about to let Fang Rui and the others go back to the top of the cloud by themselves so that she could return to the village to help, when she heard Qing Pu's voice in her ears, obviously a little panicked.
"Saintess, something terrible has happened! Come back quickly, come back and save Ziying!"
The sound of fighting could be heard faintly. Yi Wu looked back in the direction of the village, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go back to the top of the cloud to save people first.
Forget it, let's just assume that Qin Mo was also killed by that arrow. She was already exhausted from being undercover in the Demon Tribe for so many years, and these days, she had to disguise multiple identities, which really drained Yiwu's energy. It would be better to end it here.
She turned around and took the three demons back to the top of the cloud.
Yi Wu originally planned to question them personally and investigate how they were captured by the demon tribe from the top of the cloud, but there were other more important things to do at the moment, so she could only hand them over to Jiufang Mingyuan.
When entering the Winged Demon Palace, Jiufang Mingyuan was handling government affairs, and Fu Ke was standing beside him.
Yi Wu had the title of the head female official and could enter and leave the Winged Demon Palace freely without anyone stopping her.
The main hall was brightly lit. Jiufang Mingyuan was flipping through the list of recently missing demons. The hall was completely silent until someone came and broke the silence.
"This is what I rescued from the Demon King. Please check it out carefully." Yi Wu said, turned around and left. "I have something else to do. I'll come back later."
She walked very quickly, as if she had something urgent to do.
Jiufang Mingyuan glanced at Fu Ke and raised his chin towards the outside, "Let's go and take a look."
"Yes." Fu Ke received the order and hurriedly chased after him.
The only ones left in the hall were the three demons who had just been rescued by Yi Wu, and Jiufang Mingyuan.
He put down the booklet and glanced at them calmly, "Fang Rui, you are a maidservant of Yun Zhiding. How could you be captured by the demon tribe?"
Fang Rui thought he was blaming her, so her knees buckled and she knelt on the ground, trembling as she replied, "Young Master, I have never left Cloud Peak, and I don't know how I was captured by the demon tribe."
"At that time, yes, I was serving Miss Weng and accidentally knocked over a teacup. Miss Weng got angry and punished me, causing me to faint. When I opened my eyes again, I was captured by the demon tribe. As for what happened in between, I really don't know."
The other two were ordered to search for the blood demon vine, but they ran into the demon tribe on the way and were captured.
Jiufang Mingyuan raised his fingertips and said, "Go down."
"Wait, Fangrui stays."
The hall returned to peace again, and he leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
At the same time, Yiwu quickly found Qingpu and asked about the situation.
"I don't know either. Just now, the maid who works in the kitchen came to me mysteriously and said that she saw Ziying being taken away by Miss Weng's maid. She was afraid that she was in danger."
Qing Pu led her to Weng Xilai's residence and briefly explained the situation. "Miss Weng has always been at odds with you. A few days ago, you caught her poisoning the Young Master and whipped her. She must be even more resentful. Now that they've taken Ziying away, who knows what they'll do to her."
Fortunately, Yi Wu left them the Nine-tone Cicada before leaving, otherwise she would have had to ask Jiufang Mingyuan for help.
Yiwu felt that walking was too slow, so she pulled Qingpu along and went straight out of the house.
In Weng Xilai's room, they were discussing how to deal with Ziying with the door closed, and they didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.
"You are too careless. How did Yi Wu's men hear it? We can't deal with her carelessly now. Otherwise, if Yi Wu investigates and finds out about us, how will we explain it?"
"Miss, the kitchen manager is one of ours. As long as we get rid of this girl, who knows what will happen."
"Are you sure there's no one else around? Maybe Yiwu has already heard the news and is on her way back to Cloud Summit."
"Don't worry, miss. No one will see us. Besides, she's just a little maid. Will Yiwu really come to save her?"
There was silence in the room for a moment. Seeing that Ziying looked very dissatisfied, Weng Xilai asked someone to remove the cloth blocking her mouth.
"You'd better kill me today, otherwise I will tell the Saint what dirty things you have been doing behind her back. Poisoning the Young Master a few days ago was not enough, and now you are trying to poison the Saint. If the Young Master knows about this, you will die a miserable death!"
With a "slap", Ziying was slapped hard before she could finish her words. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her mouth was blocked again.
Weng Xilai lay sprawled on the bed, his back throbbing with pain from the whip wounds. Hearing the word "Saint" (saint), he gnashed with hatred. "Saint? What kind of saint? How dare a bastard like her, a child of unknown origin, be called my demon clan saint?"
"Don't worry, since you are so loyal to her, I will definitely reunite you as master and servant."
She gave the maid a look and was about to take action. Just as she took out the dagger, the door was kicked open.
The door panel was kicked out and hit the maid, who was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch".
The dagger in his hand slashed across Ziying, leaving a long wound from the side of her face to her eyebrows, and blood immediately flowed out.
Qingpu quickly entered the house, brought the person out and untied him, "Ziying, how are you?"
The wound on her face was very painful, but Ziying didn't make any sound. She just stared at them in surprise, as if she didn't expect Yiwu to come to save her.
Yi Wu glanced up and down, the wound on Ziying's face glaring. She drew her sword and walked into the room with a cold expression, frightening the maid on the ground so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
"It's not me, it's not me, you can't do this to me, miss, help me..."
Yi Wu raised her sword and slashed her face cleanly and neatly, and then cut the tendons in her hand.
"ah……"
The dagger fell to the ground and the maid wailed in pain, not knowing whether to cover her hands or her face first.
After dealing with the maid, Yi Wu turned her head and looked at the bed, her eyes full of murderous intent. "Miss Weng, may I ask what fault Ziying has committed that warrants your intervention and punishment?"
No one in the house expected Yi Wu to suddenly break in, and as soon as she arrived, she would see blood and be so cruel.
Another maid ran over and stood in front of Weng Xilai, warning him, "Our young lady is the Demon Lord's chosen wife. If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, the Demon Lord will not let you go."
Yi Wu simply ignored her and continued to stare at Weng Xilai.
Weng Xilai calmed himself down and made up an excuse, "She spilled my medicine, so I brought her here to scold her and was about to let her go."
"Saint, she's lying! I didn't spill any medicine at all."
Ziying pointed at Weng Xilai's two maids and accused them, "I caught them colluding with the kitchen manager to poison your food. That's why they brought me here to silence me."
"Is that so..." Yi Wu chuckled, looking at Weng Xilai's miserable state, and said in a mocking tone, "It seems that Miss Weng really hates me and wishes I were dead."
Weng Xilai certainly wished she was dead, but he couldn't admit it right now. He replied with a forced smile, "How is that possible? She must have heard it wrong."
Yi Wu's expression darkened. "Did you hear wrong? If I hadn't arrived in time, Ziying would have been dead by now, right?"
"Weng Xilai, you don't seem to know me very well. I'm a vindictive person. Since I've caught you today, if one of my men loses a finger in the future, I'll make you pay with five or ten."
"I mean what I say. I hope you take care of yourself."
Yiwu was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she rescued the person and left quickly.
Watching her leave, Weng Xilai gritted her teeth and punched the edge of the bed, hitting her bones and making her arm go limp with pain. Hatred surged in her heart, and she stared at her back until she disappeared from sight.
A moment later, another figure appeared at the door, scaring everyone in the room so much that they dared not breathe.
Fu Ke slowly walked into the house, squatted beside the maid on the ground, and looked at the wound on her face.
"Master Fu, you see, Yiwu is too arrogant. You must report it to the young master..." Weng Xilai wanted to excuse himself, but he swallowed his words before he could finish them.
With a "crack", Fu Ke stretched out his hand and twisted the maid's neck. He stood up and wiped the blood from his fingertips, saying softly, "Miss Weng, if you dare to lay a hand on the Saint again, you will not just be whipped."
Now the young master values Yiwu very much, and the poison in his body is only Yiwu who can cure it, so he will never let anyone harm her life.
Weng Xilai was so frightened that he stood there in a daze. It was not until Fu Ke had left for a long time that he called for someone to drag the body away and bury it.
She didn't understand what kind of magic Yiwu had that made everyone side with her.
After leaving the yard, Yi Wu walked very fast, and Qingpu and Ziying even had to run a few steps to catch up with her.
"Saint, are you just going to let it go like this?" Qing Pu was angry and puzzled. "If you let her go so easily, she will definitely harm you again in the future. What if..."
Yi Wu wanted to kill the evildoer with one sword, but she now suspected that Weng Xilai was related to the demon traitor, so she couldn't do it for the time being.
She quickly returned to the Winged Demon Palace. Fang Rui was still there. She personally asked her about what happened when she was captured by the demon tribe, and then sent her to follow Qingpu and Ziying to treat her injuries.
Yiwu told Jiufang Mingyuan what she had seen and heard from the demon tribe, and frankly admitted that Jiufang Mingyuan had guessed that she practiced forbidden magic. She felt a little uneasy, "Who do you think the man in black is?"
"I don't know," Jiufang Mingyuan shook his head, stood up and walked down the stairs. "If I knew who the traitor was, I would have dealt with him long ago. Why would you ask?"
He stretched out his hand, his fingertips resting on Yi Wu's brows, smoothing out the wrinkles with some force. "What are you worried about? Why are you frowning so tightly?"
Yi Wu took a half step back, putting some distance between them. Feeling a wave of panic rising in her stomach, she turned and walked out. "Right now, resolving the demon clan issue is more urgent. Let's put the immortal clan issue aside for now. Once the blood demon vine issue is resolved, I'll definitely continue to help you find the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl."
She paused and looked back at Jiufang Mingyuan, "Okay?"
Although the Yin-Yang Qiankun Pearl is the treasure of the demon clan, the demon clan has been living well without the pearl for so many years, so there is no need to rush.
Yiwu originally thought that with Jiufang Mingyuan's intelligence, he would be able to understand the key, but the result was not the case.
Jiufang Mingyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of bitterness, "I would like to agree to you, but it is not up to me."
Time is running out. If he fails to find the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl, his life will be in danger. Unfortunately, Jun Lin will never let go easily. The battle between immortals and demons is destined to be a fight to the death, and he has no choice.
His tone and expression were somewhat intriguing. Yi Wu couldn't understand the reason and thought that he had some unspeakable difficulties. She wanted to ask him, but in the end she left in a hurry.
Ever since she left the demon village, she has been very nervous and has to go back to see what the situation is.
Yi Wu came and went like the wind, showing up and leaving without even looking back. She didn't notice Jiufang Mingyuan behind her suddenly covering his chest and coughing up blood.
