Chapter 190 Suddenly there was a loud phoenix cry!
At this moment, Sheng Ran finally revealed the truth that had been hidden for so long.
Both she and the original owner had endured this injustice for too long.
Even if this body was once stupid and vicious, it was not so wrong that it should be labeled as a "useless female" or "evil female" and should not be despised and condemned by everyone.
Her words were like thunder, splitting everyone's cognition.
The square fell silent for a moment, and then an even more intense uproar erupted—
"Exile was a frame-up?!"
"The Holy Lady and the Prince swapped poisons? They're like the thief crying 'stop thief!' How cruel!"
"No wonder the Beast King is missing. He must be controlled by them using tonics!"
Situ Yu's face completely drained of blood. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, pointed at Sheng Ran and roared, "Witch! How dare you slander the royal family! Come, arrest her!"
But the guards looked at each other, and no one stepped forward.
Yuan Ziyun was originally standing in front of Sheng Jieyue. He looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with complex and unfamiliar emotions.
He suddenly took a half step back and looked around coldly. The guards had already wavered, and the nobles who had believed in Sheng Jieyue before also began to whisper and were in a panic.
At this moment, Yuan Ziyun finally understood that he had always been Sheng Jieyue's pawn.
In addition to Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu's instructions, he raised his hand to signal the guards: "Protect the people and don't let anyone cause trouble!"
The guards changed direction instantly and surrounded the altar.
Compared to the saint who has lost the support of the people, protecting the people in front of them is the duty of the guard team.
Sheng Jieyue looked at the scene of being deserted by everyone in disbelief, and suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter so sharp that it was piercing.
"Great! What a popular sentiment! Since you all don't believe me, I'll show you what happens when you resist me!"
She suddenly raised her hand, black air surged in her palm, and she blew a sharp whistle towards the sky.
In an instant, dozens of people in black clothes rushed out from all around the square, and each of them was surrounded by the same black aura as Sheng Jieyue - they were people from the Poison Sect!
"The Saintess has ordered that all those who betray us are evil spirits and must be purged today!"
The men in black roared, took out black powder from their arms and sprinkled it on the ground.
The powder ignited as soon as it hit the ground, turning into a black poisonous mist that spread towards the people.
"Oh no! It's a poison formation!" Pei Xiaoxing shouted loudly, and immediately ordered the Pei family army to stand in front of the people, drawing their swords and splitting the incoming poisonous fog.
At the same time, Tu Shanyi took out a flare and fired it into the sky. The secret guards of Jiuyao Chamber of Commerce had been on standby outside the city for a long time, and upon seeing this, they immediately rode over.
Seeing sparks suddenly ignite all over the ground, Huai Jun mobilized all his strength to mobilize water-based abilities, trying his best to eliminate the spread of the poison array from the source.
Zhu Jiuyin fought poison with poison, continuously releasing divine fire to attack Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu, determined to burn the beautiful white peacock feathers to ashes.
Ling Rui protected Sheng Ran behind him, his clear eyes flashing with coldness: "Wife, please step back!"
He quickly observed the situation and found that there was a group of tall and strong guards present, who had already lost their composure because of the poison array.
He cursed Yuan Ziyun in his heart, this freeloader, and then he said in a cold voice: "Guards, line up on the left wing and use your shields to block the poison array's attacks. The right wing, follow me around and cut off their retreat!"
Ling Rui stood in front of the crowd, pressed his palms to the ground, and a yellowish-brown supernatural light spread instantly.
Suddenly, a half-person-high earth wall rose up at the edge of the square. The poisonous fog hit the wall and was blocked firmly.
He didn't use a knife, but only relied on his earth-related abilities to control it. With a flick of his fingertips, three sharp earth spikes broke out from the ground behind the men in black and accurately pierced their ankles.
This was the precision he had developed through hundreds of fights in the training grounds, and every time he mobilized his supernatural powers, he did so with unquestionable courage.
"Who do you think you are to command us?" An old guard frowned and retorted, without moving the shield in his hand.
But just as he finished speaking, the poisonous mist in front of him suddenly bypassed the gap in the earth wall and rushed towards the old woman behind him.
Ling Rui was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He sank his palm and an earth shield appeared in front of the old woman out of thin air. The poisonous mist hit the shield and instantly turned into green smoke.
"Either do as I say, or watch the people get poisoned."
Ling Rui's eyes swept over the team member. There was no extra nonsense, but they were filled with a unique deterrent force.
Yuan Ziyun was inexplicably sidelined, his face flushed with anger. However, seeing Ling Rui's methodical dispatch, he subconsciously signaled his team members to cooperate, "Attention right wing, leave three alive and search for the Poison Gu Sect's lair!"
He gritted his teeth, and the last trace of unwillingness in his eyes turned into recognition - well, in times of crisis, the safety of the people is the most important.
The poisonous fog grew thicker and thicker, and the people could be heard coughing one after another.
Sheng Ran knew that she couldn't hide behind those beastly husbands, so she raised her hand with all her strength, and a golden light shone from her fingertips.
Countless green vines suddenly sprouted from the ground in the square and quickly coiled around to form a barrier, blocking the spread of the poisonous fog.
The surrounding pines and cypresses also shook violently, and their needles shot towards the men in black like arrows.
The people were stunned. Some murmured, "This...how can this be the power of a divine messenger? This is too powerful!"
Sheng Jieyue's pupils shrank as she watched this scene. "Impossible! How can a mere divine messenger like you possess such immense power?!"
The situation was devastating, and the madness in Sheng Jieyue's eyes became even more intense. She rushed towards Sheng Ran, and the black energy turned into a giant net shaped like peacock feathers, oppressive and turbid: "I am the protagonist! My halo will not lose!"
Sheng Ran's golden light instantly weakened a bit, she stumbled back, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth -
After continuously exerting her strength, her vitality was almost exhausted.
Zhu Jiuyin rushed over to protect her, but was hit on the shoulder by the black air, and the blue-black poison instantly spread to his neck.
But he didn't care about these things, he just stared at Sheng Jieyue: "If you want to touch my wife, step over my body first."
"Your body? And that dead black bird!" Sheng Jieyue laughed sharply, "Sheng Ran, how long do you think they can protect you? Today you all have to die with that lowly bird!"
These words were like a red-hot knife, stabbing into Sheng Ran's heart.
The warmth of Yun Ling falling into her arms, the gradually cold Hei Yu, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her for the last time...
All the images came to her mind at once, and the golden light on her fingertips flashed violently, but then dimmed in an instant.
She really couldn't hold on any longer.
The beastmen were all severely injured, and the common people were also threatened by the poison array.
This is all just because of Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu’s “protagonist halo”.
As long as they exist, anyone who goes against them will become cannon fodder and villain.
She couldn't save the people, nor could she save the people closest to her, and she watched Yun Ling die in her arms.
I can't save myself at this moment.
Could it be... that she really can't resist the so-called "fate"?
At this moment, a loud phoenix cry suddenly came from the sky!
A golden flame ignited in the direction of Danxue Mountain, and a dark figure broke through the clouds and fell towards the square like a meteor.
The moment the flames hit the ground, they turned into countless golden feathers, and the poisonous fog was instantly burned into white mist!
"What... is that?!" the people exclaimed and looked up.
Sheng Ran also looked up suddenly, tears instantly blurring her vision——
That figure, with golden and black phoenix feathers, its tail feathers spread out in the dazzling flames, who else could it be but Yun Ling?!
