Chapter 188 Danli 22 Schemes
Chapter 188 Danli 22 Schemes
A few hours ago, Chaoyan hurriedly fled for her life while carrying the Second Master. She finally arrived at the Xie Mansion, but she was still thinking about Wenli, who was going to Ghost Valley alone.
She thought she should tell Lord Xie as soon as possible so that someone could be sent to rescue Wen Li.
But as soon as she landed, she received orders to ambush and kill the Demon Lord at the Xie residence.
The Demon Lord? But hasn't the Demon Lord been dead for tens of thousands of years?
How can a demon that died tens of thousands of years ago be brought up to this day?
It wasn't until she sat in the hall and listened to Xie Wanzhou's words that she realized Wen Li was the target of their ambush...
Xie Wanzhou sat there and said a lot, but Chaoyan couldn't understand a word he said.
What does it mean that Wen Li is a demon? And that Wen Li will turn the human world into her demon realm?
She turned her head and found that Wen Mingzhu and the others also seemed not to understand.
Zhao Sicheng couldn't help but speak first, "Lord Xie, Wen Li knows nothing and has done nothing, yet we're sentencing her to death right here? Isn't that too unfair?"
Before Xie Wanzhou could speak, the demon hunters from all over the country whom the Xie family had hired began to object.
"Can Young Master Zhao guarantee that she will never harm us? If she really becomes the Demon Lord in the future, and the world is filled with bloodshed and corpses, it will be too late for us to regret it then."
"Yes! And the Jiang family has already made their choice; we cannot let their sacrifice go to waste!"
"This is the best opportunity. If we miss today, and she wreaks havoc on the world in the future, do you really think General Zhao has the ability to kill her?"
Zhao Sicheng: "She's not as dangerous as you think! I don't have the ability to kill her, but I believe she's not the kind of person you're describing."
Xie Xiao also stepped forward: "I also believe she is not that kind of person."
Someone exclaimed, "How much do you know about her? I was beaten by her in Beijing! She's a born devil! She's harmed countless people and deserves to die!"
Wen Mingzhu couldn't help but step forward: "Maybe it's because you deserved to be hit that she hit you!"
A group of people started arguing, and the hall became chaotic.
Asagao covered Second Master's mouth. It had been barking incessantly from the beginning and now it wanted to jump out and bite people.
She sensed that the Second Master might want to speak up for Wen Li, so she stepped forward as well: "Lord Xie, we know Wen Li, we are her friends. We guarantee she won't become possessed by demons!"
Asagao and Wenli had known each other for about two months, and especially since Asagao had been working under her these days, they had become friends long ago.
Xie Wanzhou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. The group rolled their eyes at each other and sat down.
Once the hall quieted down, Xie Wanzhou said, "If Wen Li is truly the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, then she must die. Today we are discussing how to ensure her complete demise; let's not say anything else."
Upon hearing this, Chaoyan felt conflicted. The Second Master she was holding seemed to understand as well, glaring fiercely at Xie Wanzhou with its two eyes.
Zhao Sicheng stood up angrily. "Uncle Xie, since my father is not here and I have no good plan, I will leave first."
After saying that, he left without waiting for anyone else's reaction.
Wen Mingzhu called his name once, but he didn't turn around, so she gave up. She knew that Zhao Sicheng was in a bad mood because he couldn't contact his family these past few days.
Unaffected by his words, the group continued their discussion.
Taking advantage of Chao Yan's inattention, Second Master suddenly jumped off her arms and pounced on Xie Wanzhou, biting his calf.
Xie Wanzhou was listening attentively to the others' advice when he was bitten. He kicked the dog away, drawing blood from his calf. Xie Wanzhou drew his sword, intending to kill it.
Asagao rushed out just in time and carried the Second Master away.
"My lord, this dog did not mean to offend you. Please forgive it."
Asagao knelt on the ground, holding the dog. Even though she covered the Second Master's mouth, the Second Master in her arms was still barking arrogantly and frantically trying to bite Xie Wanzhou.
Xie Wanzhou's gaze fell on the dog. Before he could speak, someone next to him recognized it and said, "Dressed so gaudyly, it must be that witch's dog."
As he was saying this, the man suddenly had a brilliant idea and excitedly said, "Sir, how about this? It is said that the demoness is very fond of this dog. If she sees through our scheme, we can use it as a threat."
Wen Mingzhu: "No way!"
Wen Mingzhu said to Xie Wanzhou, "Uncle Xie, this is a human matter, so let's not involve the dog."
Xie Xiao also said, "Sir, our plan is almost complete. Besides, Wen Li should be back soon. Let's go down and make some preparations."
Xie Wanzhou suddenly chuckled and said, "What's the rush? I didn't say I was going to do anything to the dog. I don't need to use a dog as bait."
"And you don't need to look at me like that. I didn't want to kill Wen Li either. It's just fate that we have no choice but to do it."
Asagao and the others lowered their heads. "We understand."
"Since you understand, don't let anyone see through your act. Give me the dog."
Asagao looked at him hesitantly, but finally handed the dog to him.
The second master was about to bite when Xie Wanzhou held him in his arms, but Xie Wanzhou stopped him in time by blocking his mouth with the hilt of his sword.
"What a bad-tempered dog, just like its owner."
"Pray silently, pray that my guesses are all wrong."
Second Master barked wildly, and Xie Wanzhou threw it into his spatial storage, thinking that the person should arrive in less than two hours.

Within Ghost Valley, the wails of demons never ceased, resembling a hell on earth.
"Help! Help! A demon has been killed..."
"Run! He's coming this way! Run!"
"Let me kill him!"
"Don't waste your energy, he won't die!"
"I can't take it anymore. Nobody can stop me from escaping this hellhole."
"Hey, don't go up there, that monster will kill you."
"help……"
The two little demons, who had sensed the seal was loosening and were planning to take the opportunity to leave, watched this brutal scene from afar and swallowed hard in fear.
"Do you think this monster might really wipe out all the demons here?"
"Hey! Are you kidding me? We have millions of demons here!"
"But his cultivation level has increased too fast! And he's practically unkillable! It's truly bizarre!"
"Never mind, never mind, let's go back downstairs and sleep. Anyway, he can't kill us anytime soon."
The two little demons held hands and flew down.
Shen Yingsi gripped his spear tightly and fought relentlessly. These past few days, he had been either cultivating or slaying demons.
As for becoming an immortal or a god, he has no interest in it. Even if he doesn't become an immortal, he can still kill all the demons in the world.
For a full thirty-one days, he killed anyone who dared to approach the seal. So many demons were there, and he killed them one by one, day after day, determined to wipe out all the demons in Ghost Valley.
Xi Yu drifted to Ghost Valley, thinking that she had to quickly find a demon to possess, otherwise she would be dragged back to the underworld by the officials of the underworld in a while.
He had assumed that the sealed area would be teeming with demons, but he only saw them after floating down several hundred meters.
The demons scrambled to climb up, but were stopped by a man with a gun.
He looked closely and realized it was a green lamp!
Xi Yu had a sudden inspiration and floated over, flying into his body.
Shen Yingsi suddenly collapsed, sensing something was wrong with his body.
He clasped his hands together, intending to force the wandering ghost out.
Xi Yu was surprised that he had noticed so quickly, even though he hadn't done anything.
"No, no... I... I'm here to help you."
"Help me? Go to hell and fool the King of Hell yourself!"
Feeling herself being pulled away, Xi Yu quickly said, "That girl named Wen Li is in great danger!"
Shen Yingsi stopped, feeling worried as he thought of Wen Li.
"What's up with her?"
Seeing that he cared, Xi Yu said, "I possessed Liang Qi's body before, and at night when she wasn't paying attention, I used her body to correspond with Jiu Ying and took the Flower Rain. Just now, I was unsealing Guigu. That little girl Wen Li snatched the Flower Rain and ran away."
"When I saw her, she was covered in wounds and her spiritual power was almost exhausted. She looked so pitiful. Now the demons outside have invaded Tianqu. Everyone in the city is either dead or has fled, but she's still running towards Ghost Valley. Logically, it wouldn't be difficult for her to escape back alone, but think about it, she's carrying the Flower Rain. How could those demons not target her..."
"She's holding a shower of flowers?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yingsi immediately tried to forcibly pull Xi Yu's soul out of his body.
"Oh! No! Child, I know everything from astronomy to geography, and I've lived for thousands of years. There's nothing in this world that I don't know. It will only benefit you to stay by my side, I swear."
"Don't leave me! I really want to help you."
Shen Yingsi thought for a moment, then took out a Soul-Locking Bead from his spatial storage, and Xi Yu was thus imprisoned inside the bead.
An ancient thing that has lived for thousands of years might actually be of some use.
Outside Guigu Valley, Liang Tiantian had just coaxed Jiuying away when she pushed her injured body to set up a formation outside.
Holding the sword, he waited for the demons inside to escape, ready to kill as many as he could.
But why hasn't the demon come out yet? And how exactly did she lose consciousness today? She can't remember anything about it.
Just as she was lost in thought, something flew up from below.
Countless ice swords pierced towards the demon, who was trapped in the center and unable to leave the array's core.
"Liang Tian?"
Liang Tiantian closed her eyes and chanted a spell. Upon hearing the voice, she opened her eyes and saw that it was His Highness.
She quickly deactivated the formation, but before she could ask any questions, the person flew away.
"Your Highness..."
What are you doing here?
