Chapter 120 Chapter 120
Fortunately, the disaster did not cause much damage. Apart from the collapse of the building into a ruin, no one was killed or injured. A huge scroll was suspended in the air, protecting people from falling rocks from above.
The paper ibis consumed too much energy at once, so it was a little unstable. Xue noticed that at a certain moment, the paper ibis's figure became a little illusory.
"Paper ibis girl?"
"What's wrong?" The Paper Ibis looked confused and did not notice anything unusual about itself.
"It's okay, maybe I saw it wrong." Axue said uncertainly.
Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, the tiger demon took a few steps back stealthily, and then pounced on the defenseless Liu Liu without warning. Phoenix brushed his sleeves, and a folding fan phantom hit the tiger demon's forehead heavily.
The tiger demon staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Liu Liu reacted belatedly. She cried out in surprise and quickly hugged her scroll and hid behind a few people. She had a look on her face as if she had survived a disaster. "Thank you for saving me. Liu Liu is very grateful."
"I hope the girl is alright."
"What happened upstairs just now? How come there was a sudden thunderbolt?" Ah Xue asked in confusion. She circled around the phoenix a few times, but didn't see any trace of burnt black. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the demon race was really thick-skinned.
"The thunder just now was aimed at a difficult enemy. This matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a short time." Phoenix walked to the tiger demon and frowned slightly: "Are you from the tiger tribe...Chen Ying?"
Fenghuang had seen this tiger demon at the demon race celebration. Every time she saw him, he would carry a cub on his shoulders and his face would always be filled with a happy smile. But now that smile disappeared, replaced by endless hatred and sorrow.
Chen Ying raised his head abruptly when he heard the voice. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, tears welled up in his eyes: "Sir, do you remember me?"
Although he did not recognize the phoenix, among the demons, who else could be the one holding a folding fan and always appearing with the Dragon Lord but the Lord Phoenix? Fortunately, he still remembered You Lin's previous warning, and the "Lord Phoenix" was twisted in his throat and turned into an ambiguous "Lord".
He never thought that a little demon like himself with ordinary qualifications and no special features would be remembered by Master Phoenix one day, and even called out by name. That is an existence second only to His Majesty the Demon King...
Such an adult... As long as he is here, we will be able to get justice today. Thinking of this, the tiger demon's lifeless eyes suddenly brightened up.
"Just now you said that humans took your child's life. What's going on?"
When Chen Ying mentioned this, tears immediately flowed down his cheeks, his heart filled with grief and anger: "My Lord, my child is innocent and loves to travel. A few days ago, he said he had made a new friend and wanted to go out and play together for a few days, but who would have thought that he would never come back."
"I thought he was having so much fun that he forgot to go home, so I didn't interfere. Until yesterday, someone brought my child's body to my door, saying that he was tricked by humans and skinned and bones were taken out to make a painting for the bigwigs to enjoy."
When he said this, Chen Ying stared at Liu Liu, the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes frightened her so much that she couldn't stop trembling. You Lin suddenly remembered that from the beginning of the chaos, the tiger demon had been heading for the stage.
"You mean, these paintings are related to your children?" Feng Huang looked at Liu Liu subconsciously.
Liu Liu subconsciously hugged her painting tightly and retorted, "This is impossible. Everything in this painting comes from me. How could there be any evil things mixed in?"
Although she said so, she actually didn't have much confidence in her heart. She was not aware of it when she made this painting, and the painting master only told her that he would use his own things. As for whether there would be some other things mixed in, she really couldn't guarantee it.
But even if what the tiger demon said was true, and her paintings were mixed with demonic things, she could never admit it. Such a cruel act was to maliciously provoke a dispute between the two races. Although the human race and the demon race had never been very hostile, if this matter became a big deal, even if she was not the mastermind, Liu Liu would not be able to chop off enough heads even if she had ten.
You Lin raised his head and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"How is it impossible? If you don't believe it, just take apart the scroll and see whether it is filled with wood or my son's bones!" Shen Ying said angrily.
Liu Liu's face changed drastically.
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded, and several people turned their heads to see a group of officers and soldiers in strange uniforms rushing towards here. Leading the way was the doorman with strange makeup.
"Sir, it was them. When they first came in, I thought they were behaving strangely. I never thought they were colluding with evil spirits. They destroyed our performances and property, and even kidnapped Miss Liuliu!"
The leader held a compass specially used to detect evil spirits. But now the compass was useless - Shen Ying, who still maintained his evil form, was the most powerful evidence of the accident.
Ah Xue said solemnly: "It's bad, run quickly, these are people from the Heavenly Guardian Department, if we are caught, we won't be able to explain even if we are right."
The Heavenly Supervisors are responsible for dealing with chaos caused by monks and monsters. Due to the requirements of their profession, they are best at enforcing the law with violence.
"You are such a bold thief, how dare you collude with monsters and disturb public order. If you repent, you can try to get a lighter sentence."
Liu Liu's expression was slightly shaken, and before she could even speak the words for help, she was covered up. Paper Ibis said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu Liu, we have some things we need to understand clearly, and we can't let you go now."
Chen Ying suddenly roared like a tiger, drawing everyone's attention to himself. He sent a message to Feng Huang: "My Lord, this matter was caused by me, and it should be solved by me. I will go and lead them away. I hope that my Lord can catch the real murderer and avenge my child who died unjustly."
Without waiting for the Phoenix to answer, he shot out like an arrow.
At the same time, Ah Xue made a sword gesture and whispered, "Luoxue, come out!"
The precious sword emitting an icy aura flew out, and in the blink of an eye it grew several times larger. The four of them, along with Liu Liu, jumped on it, and the Falling Snow Sword quickly carried them in the opposite direction.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Split into two groups and chase them. Don't let any of them go."
"Yes!" Sword shadows flew up and quickly chased in two different directions.
The voices of persuasion to surrender from behind became clearer. Seeing that the other party was about to catch up, Axue sneered, and with just a few accelerations, she left the pursuers far behind. All the magic attacks were also blocked by the Phoenix.
Paper Ivy also gradually calmed down from her initial panic. She looked around excitedly and said, "Master, I have made it. I never thought that one day I would be able to sit on a flying sword. Is this the joy of flying?"
"Be careful, don't fall." Phoenix chuckled.
You Lin, who was standing by, was studying the scroll carefully, his brows furrowed, and he sneezed from time to time. Liu Liu was afraid that the gentleman would accidentally damage the scroll, so every time You Lin moved, her hand would subconsciously reach forward. But she didn't dare to really grab it, so she could only watch with a worried look on her face.
Ah Xue was sitting at the front, she looked back at You Lin and said in a teasing tone: "I have heard of your great name for a long time, I never thought that the Dragon Lord of the demon race is not only an excellent martial artist, but also as pretty as an ordinary woman."
To be honest, he really thought they were two beautiful human girls at first.
You Lin raised his head and glanced at him. Although he had anticipated the possibility of being caught, when the moment really came, he couldn't help but twitch his toes hidden in his shoes.
He said that this guy who suddenly appeared was definitely not a good person.
"I've long heard that Shen Wuming, the great hero, became famous at a young age for his handsome appearance. Today I see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation. I was so shortsighted that I didn't recognize you before. I'm so sorry for that." Feng Huang said with a smile, waving a fan.
Ashe was caught off guard and choked up: "How did you find out... No, there are so many people who use swords in this world, how can you be sure that I am Shen Wuming?"
Phoenix pretended to be surprised: "Oh? You actually guessed it right. Actually, I just guessed it at the beginning, and I was just tricking you just now."
"...You're such a good trick." Axue was speechless for a moment.
In terms of scheming, there is no way a teenage human kid could beat a ten-thousand-year-old demon.
Ah Xue - no, Shen Wuming crossed his arms and said, "Since you also know my true identity, then for the sake of fairness, shouldn't you also be honest?"
Shen Wuming looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little curious. He was able to recognize Long Zun at first simply because the guy's gun was so recognizable, and also because when he dug a pit to save people earlier, his hands had obviously transformed into dragon claws, so it was hard not to recognize him.
But the one holding the fan never revealed any information... No, maybe Long Zun's identity is the biggest clue.
For no reason, he suddenly recalled some unofficial history.
Phoenix sensed that the Sword Master was thinking about something strange, so she spoke up in time to interrupt his thoughts.
"I am just an ordinary civil servant, not worthy of your mention. If you must call me by a title, just call me Yuheng."
"You use the stars in the sky as your pseudonym?"
"Aren't you also an unknown Shen?"
Watching the big guys exposing each other's identities, Paper Ivy squatted silently on the side, watching their minds and not daring to raise his head.
The moment she accidentally made eye contact with You Lin, the scene of her pulling the original owner to frantically recommend the storybook popped up in her mind. If it was just the storybook, it would be fine, but the key point was that it also contained the kind of content that would be punished by mysterious power if spoken out.
Not only that, she also made a foolish remark in front of the Sword Master. Although she didn't know who the person in red was, she felt that he was probably someone close to her. She only hoped that she hadn't said anything offensive to him, otherwise she would have just found a sword and rammed her head into it and died.
An extroverted person once brought a lifetime of introversion. It would be better if I didn't bring all these messy things with me this time. She thought sadly.
"Okay, let's stop here." Shen Wuming couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to ask for peace: "Anyway, we have been honest with each other, big brother, don't laugh at second brother, after this sword is drawn, none of us should mention this matter again, how about it?"
After all, he was a sword master, and although he could sacrifice himself to defeat demons, it didn't mean that he could accept the news of him wearing women's clothes. And according to the nature of those storytellers, the story of Shen Linan fighting demons in women's clothes would spread all over the streets in a few days.
"That's exactly what I want." Feng Huang said with a smile, expressing You Lin's thoughts.
