Chapter Fourteen: Seeking Revenge

The girl who had been silently hiding behind Zisang suddenly rushed out, crying and shouting, "I didn't kill anyone, that person wasn't killed by me... I didn't even know he was a demon, you all... you all said I killed someone."

"Yes, that person died because of me, but what about you? Didn't you force my dad to his death?"

"Do you still want to burn me alive?... You... you are actually more terrifying than demons."

Zisang frowned as she listened, and the girl, crying, suddenly laughed. Her laughter was so bleak and miserable.

She seemed to have gone mad, rushing towards the crowd, using someone's hand to stab herself in the abdomen, blood splattering everywhere as she fell into a pool of blood.

The villagers were shocked and scattered in panic.

"The demon woman is crazy!"

Zisang retracted her hand, realizing she was too late.

Standing beside her, Zisang looked down at her, sighing. "You didn't have to do this."

But the girl laughed again, her laughter even more grotesque than her tears.

"My dad is already dead, there's nothing left in this world for me to cherish."

Zisang frowned, wondering what nonsense she was talking about. Zisang tried to save her with magic, but the girl smiled and asked, "Are you a deity?"

"I..."

Before Zisang could respond, the girl continued, "My dad didn't lie to me... My dad said good people will be blessed by deities. My dad didn't lie to me..."

A tear rolled down her cheek as the girl closed her eyes in peace.

Good people blessed by deities? Ha, what nonsense. Where were the deities when you were suffering? Maybe they were somewhere gossiping about you.

Zisang clenched the Extinction Sword tightly, a hint of resentment in her eyes...

When Lu Yan appeared, he pulled Zisang away and muttered, "Little Princess, you sure know how to cause trouble. You've barely left the mountain and already stirred up such trouble."

Before Zisang could inquire about the reason, Lu Yan stopped and sighed helplessly.

"Uh oh, we can't run away now."

The road ahead was blocked by people.

"Excuse me... Get out of the way," Zisang said impatiently. She had always been straightforward with these old guys. If she succumbed, the demon world would be at the mercy of someone else.

Now that the Demon King was dead, each tribe and clan harbored ambitions.

If they didn't consider how to ascend to the throne, who else would think about helping a woman ascend?

When these words came out, the two men became angry, but they suppressed their anger and muttered, "Little Princess, why did you leave Fusang and linger in the human world?"

Zisang glanced at the speaker. He wore a crown of gold and jade, and his white clothes were too luxurious, made of golden silk and adorned with pearls and gems.

The other man wore black clothes, relatively simpler in decoration.

In the past, when the Demon King unified the demon world, it was difficult to control the various tribes due to their barbaric nature.

Some wise ministers proposed a system of division to manage each tribe. Representatives were selected from each tribe to govern.

But gradually, these people's ambitions expanded, and they began to covet the position of the Demon King.

Red Wolf King was one of them, and now the two men in front of Zisang were also part of it.

It was said that King Avian Rui and King Constant Pine of the Snake Clan had always been close. The man in white must be King Avian Rui, while the other was King Constant Pine!

But why did they suddenly come looking for trouble when she had left the demon world for many days?

Zisang looked at them with narrowed eyes, thinking for a long time. She remembered Red Li, who she had killed a few days ago.

Red Li... seemed to be from the Avian Clan.

Could it be just because of a subordinate?

No, they certainly didn't come because of one Red Li.

In terms of numbers, it was simply a minor mistake for Zisang to be criticized by various tribes. They must have had another purpose.

Suddenly, it dawned on Zisang. She remembered the day she killed the snake demon to clear the girl's name and was about to tell the villagers the truth.

But the snake demon said before he died, "Stupid fox, my dad will avenge me!"

This sentence suddenly enlightened Zisang. Zisang sighed inwardly, "Damn it, how did I provoke him?"

No wonder Lu Yan was so anxious. But didn't Lu Yan understand these people yet? Could such a thing be solved by running away?

Zisang smiled apologetically and said, "It turns out to be King Avian Rui and King Constant Pine. Haha, I didn't recognize you earlier, I hope you forgive me."

But these two didn't buy it and directly asked, "Hmph, stop with the pretense, tell me, what wrong did my son commit that you wanted to take his life?"

His words were extremely rude, and Lu Yan, who always protected Zisang, was angry. "Outrageous, look at your own identity, how dare you be so rude to the Little Princess."

King Constant Pine snorted coldly after hearing this. "Just a fox's lackey."

He looked down on Lu Yan, as if Lu Yan was unbearable.

Although Lu Yan usually looked indifferent, he was still a gentleman.

It was him who had done countless disgraceful things behind his back. Yet he still had the nerve to talk about Lu Yan.

Zisang stared at him with her eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.

Until she made him feel numb and then turned her head awkwardly, Zisang finally withdrew her gaze.

"I wonder which one of you is King Constant Pine," Zisang said, her words floating lightly. King Constant Pine was just about to speak, but Lu Yan intercepted him.

"Little Princess, don't forget, the snake demon caused trouble a few days ago. You advised him many times."

"He turned a deaf ear, and you had no choice but to execute him in anger. Do you remember?"

"Is it? So it's him! King Constant Pine, you heard it too. I repeatedly advised him, but he wouldn't listen. I had no choice but to kill him in anger. I hope you can forgive me!"

Lu Yan and Zisang echoed each other, making King Constant Pine extremely angry, unable to say a word for a long time.

If he really said that, Zisang and Lu Yan would still have thanked him for clearing the way for them?

But King Constant Pine did not say this, he knew very well that if he said this.

Zisang and Lu Yan will still brazenly reply to him, "Of course!"

Seeing that King Constant Pine was losing ground, King Avian Rui also stood up, speaking uprightly.

"According to what the Little Princess said, then I have to ask, what explanation does my subordinate, Red Li, have?"

"Red Li has always been well-behaved. I don't know what provoked the Little Princess, causing her to kill her."

"Even her little demons weren't spared? You should know, those little demons are more important to her than her own life!"

Huh, there really was such a thing, as soon as she came, she was labeled as a bloodthirsty killer. But Zisang wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"King Avian Rui, you have misunderstood me. Red Li's death has nothing to do with me."

Zisang blinked her eyes at him, looking like an innocent child, naive and pure.

It was as if he was bullying a child.

King Avian Rui's old face almost couldn't hold back, but he continued to speak brazenly.

"I hope the Little Princess will tell the truth."

Since King Avian Rui said so, then I can only tell you what happened that day."

"On that day, I originally wanted to capture her back, but who could have thought that she would attract the betrayal of her sisters."

"Red Li, filled with grief and indignation, went to seek revenge. In the end, both sides suffered losses... Red Li and her sisters died. King Avian Rui naturally didn't believe Zisang's nonsense, but there was no evidence, so it was inconvenient to pursue it further, so he had to give up.
