The people around them frowned in disgust again.
Who wants to listen to the disgusting stories between a woman like this and a devil!
Facing the contempt and scolding from the crowd, Lan Sheng neither got excited nor refuted. He just calmly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms.
At first, the onlookers thought that this shameless woman was going to do something weird again, but when they saw Lan Sheng's arm clearly, they were all stunned with disgust in their eyes.
There were hardly any intact skin spots on the woman's skinny arms!
The scars on it are of various shapes and colors, and even though they are so old, they are still clearly visible. One can imagine how serious the injuries must have been.
But this did not make the people around her feel any sympathy for her.
"What do you mean?"
Lan Sheng put down his sleeves lightly, "I have many scars like this on my body. I am the culprit, not Yinghuo or the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect."
She knew that those people would not have the patience to listen to her, so she turned to Dongfang Qing and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, back then, my ex-husband Lu Sheng was the most beloved disciple of the then Holy Church's Grand Elder. After the Grand Elder passed away and the previous Holy Church's Saint was away on business, he deceived and bewitched some of the Holy Church's disciples into leaving the Holy Church. I'm sure many people in the Western Regions have heard of this. But the truth is..."
She lowered her eyes calmly, "Lu Sheng used the name of the Saint Venerable at that time to take those disciples out to treat the people in the Western Regions who were affected by a disaster. However, after successfully taking them away from the Holy Church, he took advantage of the disciples' trust in him and poisoned those Holy Church disciples together with his own confidants. He even controlled their relatives outside the church."
Those around are believers of the Western Region Holy Religion, and they hate those who betray the Holy Religion.
Now that Lan Sheng said this, it was obvious that some people didn't believe it.
"If you say so, then so be it. Who knows if you are trying to excuse the remnants of the evil sect?"
Lan Sheng didn't look at them, but continued to talk to Dongfang Qing, "Those disciples of the Holy Church were controlled, so they had no choice but to follow Lu Sheng and establish the Moon Worship Sect. In order to expand the Moon Worship Sect to the point where it could overwhelm the Holy Church and replace it, Lu Sheng used various means and channels to recruit many young children from outside to join the sect."
"I was also picked up and saved by Lu Sheng at that time. I was very grateful to him... Therefore, when I was fourteen years old, one year after he saved me, he said he wanted to marry me as his successor. Even though he was old enough to be my grandfather, I was willing to marry him."
Then, the benefactor she was grateful to was not a good man.
He not only likes killing people outside, but also likes to torture people inside the house.
He beat, scolded and humiliated her for no reason and even aborted his two children.
"He doesn't regard me as his wife. While torturing me in every way, he also suspects that I have an affair with his new disciple Yinghuo."
She glanced at Yinghuo lying on the ground, and her tone became much gentler. "Yinghuo joined the Moon Worship Sect to avenge his brother. His brother was one of the disciples who was controlled and deceived by Lu Sheng and taken away from the Holy Sect. Because he refused to betray the Holy Sect, he was brutally killed by Lu Sheng to intimidate others."
Someone immediately questioned with distrust, "Are you saying that this demon on earth is justified and is seeking revenge for his brother who swore to never betray the Holy Church?"
They sneered and continued mockingly, "If that's true, shouldn't this demon on the ground bring them back to the Holy Church to explain everything after joining forces with you to kill the previous demon leader of the Demon Cult? But we remember clearly how many innocent people from the Western Regions were killed after the Demon Cult fell into the hands of this demon on the ground!"
"Those who died were not completely innocent. Although they did not openly follow Lu Sheng, when Lu Sheng sentenced the Holy Church, they all contributed in various ways behind him, including refining large quantities of poison that could control those disciples, and those disciples' relatives outside were also controlled by these people."
Lan Sheng's tone was very calm, he was just stating a fact.
"But... although these people are accomplices, many of their families are innocent. When Yinghuo led people to rescue the relatives of the disciples in the church, they saw their family members and friends being tortured, and in anger, they slaughtered all of them. This is also the reason why they will never return to the Holy Church."
They killed innocent people and betrayed the teachings of the Holy Church. They are no longer the original disciples of the Holy Church and have neither the qualifications nor the face to go back.
"This is complete nonsense! Many of those who were exterminated at that time were well-known figures in the Western Regions, and they were all loyal believers of the Holy Religion! How could they secretly collude with the traitors of the Holy Religion!"
"That's right, everyone is dead, so of course this woman can talk nonsense!"
"Yes, if the truth is true, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Lan Sheng said lightly, "Will you believe it if I tell you?"
The people around choked.
Of course they won’t believe it!
But, "Even if what you said is true, those disciples killed those people for themselves and to avenge their relatives. But what about this demon on the ground? Didn't he kill the enemy of the former demon leader? Why did he bring the disciples of the sect to commit crimes!"
Lan Sheng lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Because of me. I said that I am the culprit, not Yinghuo, and the disciples in the sect are even more innocent."
"A source of trouble!" Just like that witch, she must not be left behind!
As expected, someone immediately said, "Even if the devil is dead, this woman cannot be kept!"
Lan Sheng remained expressionless even though others wanted to kill him.
She carefully straightened her clothes and hair, and bowed to Dongfang Qingying again.
He then walked to the already cold Yinghuo lying on the ground and squatted down.
Gently caressing his masked face, Baili Feiyue suddenly shouted, "Lan Sheng!"
Lan Sheng recognized who she was, but she didn't look at her.
She was stunned for a moment. Miss Jing was here.
Then, she would have hope of fulfilling her promise to her husband and saving the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect.
With no worries and only the joy of seeing her beloved, she slowly fell on Yinghuo's already cold chest.
"Madam!" The eyes of those Moon Worshiping Sect disciples who had reacted once again turned red.
He then turned to look fiercely at the people around him, "You killed the leader and forced the lady to death, we will fight you to death!"
This time, as soon as they moved, Dongfang Qing's men took action and quickly subdued those few people who were just at the end of their strength.
As soon as they were restrained, people quickly surrounded Lan Sheng and Yinghuo.
Dongfang Qing seemed to have said something, and Baili Feiyue's ears were buzzing. She seemed to have heard it clearly, but also seemed not to have heard it clearly.
However, the identity of the seventh prince of Xiyue Kingdom was nothing short of a golden signboard. Those who shouted for war and vowed to tear the adulterous couple into pieces and those who vowed to wipe out the Demon Sect again actually slowly dispersed.
Lan Sheng fell on Yinghuo on the ground. The dagger that she had stabbed into her chest had already been stained red with blood, mixing with Yinghuo's blood on the ground.
Dongfang Qing had already let go of Baili Feiyue, but she stood still, as if her feet had taken root, and did not take a single step forward.
She looked at Lan Sheng's face. Although it was pale without a trace of blood, his expression was calm and peaceful. There was even a faint smile between his eyebrows, eyes and mouth. That pale, beautiful and innocent face was still the same as when she first met him.
The noise around seemed to stop in an instant.
The setting sun dyed half the sky red.
And Baili Feiyue suddenly felt cold all over.
