"Stop talking, I'll take you there!"
Cen Jin looked into the distance with a complicated gaze. The next moment, he transformed into his original form, carrying the fragile dodder with him. He spread his wings and took off, leaving the dust in the dust.
“Chiu——!”
Suddenly there was a loud cry, and all the monsters looked up at the white crane circling and landing in the sky.
"Wait a minute, I have a question!"
The moment Cen Jin's toes touched the ground, he transformed into a human form and faced Shen Wuyou directly, asking, "Leader Shen, just as Dodder said, this is a place where humans have never set foot. Why do we still want to go forward? Why do we have to go to Yuyin Mountain? Why do you have to deliver us into the hands of the ghosts?!"
The demons were shocked when they heard this: "What are you talking about?!"
One of the demons questioned, "The leader clearly said that only the ghosts' territory is untouchable by humans, and this is just the border. Do you want us to gamble our lives on whether humans will come?"
"That's right! Humans didn't set foot here before because there was nothing here! But now, we are here. Humans even dared to enter the Nightmare Forest in Death Canyon for us. How could they not dare to come to this borderland?!"
Another demon clan member spoke up to defend Shen Wuyou.
It's no wonder he was so angry. Even if he was a demon who was wholeheartedly trying to save others from danger, he would be sad and upset if he was misunderstood like this.
Shen Wuyou is their benefactor, how can they watch her being slandered like this?
"I'm asking the divine leader, please give me an explanation."
Cen Jin is not stupid. One demon cannot stand up to so many people, so it is better to ask the person involved directly.
Shen Wuyou wasn't angry at all. He looked as if he had expected this, and smiled, "Did Dodder tell you that?"
"Are you admitting it?" Cen Jin immediately felt indignant at being deceived, and even more furious in his heart that she would actually do this!
"So you really plan to send us all to the ghost tribe and trade our lives for them?!"
"What?!" The other demons were shocked again, and said to him in disbelief, "Cen Jin, you are not so unreasonable. Why are you so unreasonable today..."
"Have you been deceived by Cuscuta?"
"Whatever is coming towards me, what does it have to do with her?" Cen Jin stretched out his hand to protect Cuscuta firmly behind him, raised his head and looked straight at Shen Wuyou——
"What? How long do you want to keep them in the dark?! I can't believe you, a fellow demon, would actually do such a thing as betraying your own kind! It's truly... shameful!"
"You--" Keshou and Bai Wei couldn't bear it anymore and spoke at the same time.
But Shen Wuyou held him back, and then she looked at him with a half-smile, her voice slightly cold:
"You said I was going to sell you to the ghost tribe?"
"Yes!" he said confidently.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I—..." He paused, then continued, "But you just admitted it!"
"What did I admit?" She laughed angrily.
"You just said..."
"I just said that it was Cuscuta who told you that, right?" she asked. "Then why do you think Cuscuta is right and I'm lying to you?"
"Well... then why did you—"
"You really don't have any brains. I don't want to repeat what I said before. They just said it too. Think about it carefully. Don't be like a brainless young man and let others use you as a knife."
"I--"
"Why don't you first ask the person behind you why he made all the noise along the way, leaving clues, waiting for the humans to come and catch us all in one fell swoop."
"What are you talking about?" Cen Jin thought she was lying, but when he saw her dark and deep eyes, he suddenly paused, then stopped talking and turned to look at Dodder.
Dodder looked up in surprise and saw Cen Jin staring at her with burning eyes. His face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. He just stared at her so intently that it made her scalp tingle.
"Brother Cen Jin...I didn't...She was lying to you...She wanted to drag me down..."
She looked innocent, spoke innocently, and looked up to meet his gaze.
"You said I lied to him, do you have evidence?" Shen Wu said slowly, "But if I say you lied to him, I do have evidence."
"You still won't give up! Do you have to wait until everyone dies before you'll be satisfied?!" Dodder was crying, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.
Shen Wuyou curled his lips and smiled slowly: "All along the way, you clearly said that you were afraid, but you still insisted on walking alone at the back..."
"Brother Cen Jin, Brother Cen Jin! She is lying to you!" She acted as if she didn't hear and anxiously pulled at the corner of Cen Jin's clothes.
Shen Wuyou continued, "We can all regain our freedom, but you keep instilling the idea of slavery in us, as if you were a spy sent by the human race, determined to turn all of us demons into slaves."
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" she yelled at her.
But this time, her shout was quite sharp, making people frown.
"At the auction, a demon about to be sold was so calm that he observed the movements of other demons. Whenever he saw a demon trying to break free, he would go up and persuade it to give up. However, the demons that refused to give up were always stunned by the masked men who rushed out just in time and dragged them to the sale floor..."
Shen Wuyou stared at her with a melancholy gaze, which made her heart tighten.
"Indeed, I was grinding the shackles when she suddenly came over and told me that she couldn't grind them open and asked me to save my energy." A demon suddenly remembered.
"Yeah, me too. I wanted to hide secretly, but I was startled when she suddenly came over to talk to me, and then I was caught by the masked man..." This demon is a chameleon demon. As long as he disguises himself successfully, it will be difficult for him to be discovered again.
"I also remember that she also came to me..."
"I think I also..."
As the situation gradually went off track, Dodder suddenly screamed—
"Brother Cen Jin, Brother Cen Jin, what's wrong with you?!"
Hearing this, all the demons stopped talking and turned their eyes to look at Cen Jin, who had not moved. "What's wrong? Isn't he fine?"
"No! No! Brother Cen Jin can't move! Look, for some reason, Brother Cen Jin suddenly can't move!"
Dodder cried anxiously and sadly, and kept hugging Cen Jin's body, looking like they had been in love for many years and had a deep affection for each other.
Suddenly, she changed the subject, pointed at Shen Wuyou and said in a hoarse voice—
"It's her! She must have felt that Brother Cen Jin had exposed her conspiracy, so she wanted to harm Brother Cen Jin!"
"Don't be silly..." Shen Wuyou said lazily, "If I were to kill someone, I should kill you first. Why would I kill a fool you deceived?"
"You——!" She looked as if it was just what she expected, glaring at her angrily, and looking at the demon in front of her with tears in her eyes, with big tears falling in a row——
"Did you see that? This is her true face! She wants to kill me and Brother Cen Jin, and next will be you!"
"The noise is giving me a headache..." Shen Wuyou yawned, looked lazily at Cen Jin who had not moved, and said lazily:
"Have you thought it through? If you keep on nagging like this, I'll be the first one to be annoyed to death by her."
