“He truly deserves death!”

Despite standing in front of Du City even Feng Qing’an showed anger. Three years ago, in Fengtian City, a demon ran rampant. In just half a month, nearly three hundred people lost their lives. The million residents lived in fear, and many people, due to the misfortune brought by the demon, took their families and fled the city.

The root cause of all this was a spoiled son from a prominent family who went into the deep mountains, where he saw a Spirit Beast in human form, possessing an unrivaled beauty that ordinary folk could hardly imagine, which led him to lust.

If he was just attracted to the beauty, then seeking pleasure with the Spirit Beast would be fine. But this heir from the prominent family was unwilling to tread the normal path. Using sweet words, he deceived the spiritual fox in the mountains into giving him her body, but he harbored ill intentions, wanting to watch the mountain spirit beast fall into the path of demons because of him.

Therefore, the heir called his friends and used unimaginably cruel methods to play with the spiritual fox, causing her balance to be disrupted and murderous thoughts to arise. The children from the noble family further stoked these flames, which eventually caused a dream-entering demon to appear.

The tragic demon-related heart-eating case that happened three years ago in Fengtian City originated from this. Yet, the demon’s wrath was completely unleashed onto those innocent civilians.

There were many talismans and Buddha beads meant for protection carried by the children of the noble family, which came from various temples. If they didn’t leave their homes, these wouldn’t be necessary – even if a demon caused trouble, it wouldn’t be able to reach the residences of these noble families.

Before receiving the sword strike, Du City knew nothing of all this. The authorities of Fengtian City and the patrolling spirits both focused their attention on the heart-eating demon, with hardly any caring about how this demon came to be or investigating the suffering it endured before it turned into a demon.

Even if some clues were discovered, but considering the complex relationships behind the scenes, and thinking of their superior’s family name, “smart” people would naturally choose to ignore it.

According to normal development, as long as the demon continued to cause trouble, it would be captured sooner or later. The Fengtian Underworld wasn’t idle. Although it might be difficult to track the traces of the dream-entering divine power, there would always be remnants left behind. By narrowing the scope step by step, the demon would eventually be slain.

At the time when the demon was beheaded, the matter naturally reached its conclusion. Even if hundreds of innocent people had tragically died because of this, those harm-inflicted civilians could only blame their bad luck. Even their relatives would only curse the cruelty of the demon while expressing gratitude for the ghost-gods and the authorities who exterminated the demon.

The situation was supposed to progress in this way: a small demon, despite possessing the dream-entering treasure, would only be able to cause a minor ripple in Fengtian City – causing the deaths of several hundred individuals. Then it would be seized by the ghost-gods, its soul would be extracted and thrown into the big prison in the Underworld. After suffering countless torments, it would eventually be wiped out.

Everything would return to normal, and everything the noble family’s children had done would be buried along with the demon. No one would investigate how the demon was born.

Even if that demon accused the noble family’s children, it would only be regarded as mad talk. How could anyone believe the words of a demon deluding man’s heart? The only thing to do was to kill it.

This was supposed to be the case, and such demon-related tragedies would inevitably conclude in this way. The real culprits who caused such tragedies would roam free in the world, and might even continue to commit wrongs.

However, the Imperial Examination was imminent. Students from all over the country, carrying the wonderful vision of standing out in the golden list, entered Fengtian City. Among them was a young man with a long sword, who was not yet an adult.

The truth that was about to be buried was completely uncovered by the young man after meeting one white banner bearing desperate family member. The noble family, the authorities, the ghost-gods, despite numerous attempts to cover it up, none could block the sword in the young man’s hand.

“You know the nature of your elder brother. When he encounters a demon harming people, he absolutely cannot tolerate it, therefore, on the third day when he saw the people wailing, he found the dream-entering demon fox ahead of everyone else!”

A trace of regret appeared on Du City’s face, but whether the regret was genuine or just a show for his own sake, Feng Qing’an didn’t know.

“My elder brother was the first to capture the demon fox, so the hidden truth was unveiled?”

“That’s right!”

A bitter smile appeared on Du City’s quite dignified face,

“That night, your elder brother struck the gate of the Underworld with a sword, walked in front of me, and accused me!”

“So, what was the final result? How did those beasts who harmed the spiritual beast of the mountains deal with it?”

Feng Qing’an looked at the City God with a slightly different gaze. What he cares more about now was the final outcome of the tragedy that happened three years ago.

Not only those noble children who drove the spiritual beasts into a demon, but also those who had the opportunity to approach and uncover the truth, but chose to cover it up. Including the ghost-gods.

“Since that night, a branch of my Xiao family was removed from the main vein. The instigator was executed on the spot according to the family law, and the main vein he was in was demoted to a branch. All his relatives related to this incident have been removed from the family tree, and they are no longer members of the Xiao family!”

The expression on Du City’s face was quite complicated as he said this.

Standing in the face of a young man wielding a sword, the centuries-old wealth and roots of the family held no room for negotiation or discussion, only wishing to satisfy him. Although they really did wrong, a lot of times in this world, there are no right or wrongs, just the balance of power.

As the City of Du, after bearing a hard blow from a sword in the territory of the Underworld, he had no temper. He could only reason with the other party. The worldly family would respond to any demands. No matter what the demands of the other party, they would try their best to satisfy and promise, as long as they could preserve the family temple. They would not hesitate to abandon a part of the family members.
