So it turns out I'm the demon!

The appearance of Qiu Yuexin was an unexpected variable that no one had anticipated.

Ling Ye felt a chill run down his spine.

She naturally recognized the girl in red in front of her as the murderer of the Jiang family massacre, whom the commander-in-chief had ordered her to hunt down.

But unexpectedly, the other party would show up at this moment.

Yuan Wugen asked in a cold voice:

"Who are you, young lady? What grudge do we hold?"

Qiu Yuexin lightly touched the branch with her toes and floated down like a red feather, her movements light and graceful.

She stood with her hands behind her back and said coldly:

"Sect Leader Yuan, you really have a bad memory. You captured my friend to practice evil magic, and now you're playing dumb with me?"

As she spoke, she winked at Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu understood immediately; this girl was clearly making things up.

However, when these words reached Yuan Wugen's ears, they startled him.

In order to raise demons, the Divine Sword Sect did indeed secretly capture many monsters under the guise of slaying demons.

Could there be some that slipped through the net?

Or perhaps the backer of some demon has come knocking on our door?

Yuan Wugen was filled with doubt and unease, but he forced himself to remain calm and said with righteous indignation:

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the duty of the righteous path. If your friend is a demon, then killing him by my Divine Sword Sect is also an act of justice. There's no need for further discussion!"

"Acting on behalf of Heaven? What arrogance!"

With a flick of her wrist, Qiu Yuexin unleashed several streaks of red silk, which shot out like serpents from her sleeve. Her killing intent surged instantly. "Since that's the case, then I'll personally capture you to save my friend's life!"

Hey!

Yuan Wugen was devastated.

Where the hell did this brain-dead witch come from?!

Why did they have to go crazy at this crucial moment?

and many more……

Could she have come to rescue Ling Ye and the others on purpose?

But he quickly dismissed the guess.

Ling Ye's hatred for demons is known to all. When that demoness appeared just now, the killing intent in Ling Ye's eyes was unmistakable.

Clearly, these two are not working together.

I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck!

Seeing that Qiu Yuexin had already made her move, Yuan Wugen had no choice but to fight back, while simultaneously shouting at his disciples behind him:

"Stop them!"

But he knew perfectly well that these disciples alone could not stop Ling Ye.

As expected, seeing Qiu Yuexin and Yuan Wugen locked in combat, Ling Ye didn't hesitate at all and grabbed Jiang Mu's arm:

"Walk!"

She did not intend to take advantage of the situation to capture Qiu Yuexin.

The most urgent task is to bring Jiang Mu back to Huzhou City immediately, lest the Divine Sword Sect, in desperation, send out even more powerful people to stop them.

It's true that people in the martial arts world are wary of the imperial court.

But when it comes to the struggle for star positions that are the foundation of one's destiny, it can be even more insane than the hatred of killing one's father.

"hold me!"

Ling Ye let out a low shout, and with a swing of his ice sword, a chilling wave swept away all the Divine Sword Sect disciples who rushed towards him, knocking them to the ground.

Jiang Mu said "Oh" and subconsciously hugged the other person.

Ling Ye's delicate body suddenly stiffened.

Her original intention was for Jiang Mu to wrap his arms around her waist from the side so that she could carry him on the wind.

Unexpectedly, this guy came right up to me.

He gave her a firm bear hug.

Just as she was about to jump up, the other person's head unfortunately buried directly in her snow.

She cursed under her breath, but had no time to correct herself.

Ice-blue spiritual energy surged from beneath their feet, lifting the two into the air and speeding towards Huzhou City.

The wind whistled past my ears.

The other person's hot breath sprayed out through the thin fabric, arousing a strange shiver and making Ling Ye's ears burn.

Even the spiritual power of the wind-riding technique was somewhat unstable.

"I'm going crazy..."

Ling Ye cursed himself inwardly.

She always regarded men as worthless, and normally wouldn't even let anyone touch the hem of her clothes.

Today, I was actually hugged by a man like that.

Ling Ye gave himself a stern warning in his heart.

Consider it an act of treasuring talent...

This is the first and last time. She must never let this guy touch her again.

The journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe.

As they approached the city outskirts, Ling Ye impatiently pushed the man in her arms away.

As soon as she landed, Jiang Mu's face turned red, she gasped for breath, and her neck was flushed with blood.

"Sister Ling, you almost suffocated me just now."

"you--"

Ling Ye's already flushed cheeks turned bright red.

I wanted to give them a scolding, but seeing that they were indeed red-faced and swollen, looking like they were lacking oxygen, I choked back my words.

Amidst the embarrassment, there was also a hint of innocent grievance.

I don't have any serious weapon here, how could I possibly suffocate someone?

"not good!"

Jiang Mu caught her breath, then her expression suddenly changed. "Lingzhu is still in Black Soil Village!"

"Boss!"

Just then, a clear and cheerful shout rang out.

Jiang Mu turned his head and saw Chu Lingzhu standing in the shadows under the city gate, waving her arms vigorously at him.

Jiang Mu was a little stunned, then quickly walked over: "What are you doing here?"

"You scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright."

Chu Lingzhu patted her chest, still shaken, and said...

"After you chased after that bastard, I thought about it and worried that he might have accomplices who came back. What if I was discovered? Wouldn't I become a burden to you? So I simply ran back first."

"Oh, by the way, I also brought back that carriage loaded with medicinal herbs. It's parked in that alley over there. Those are all solid evidence."

Jiang Mu looked at the girl in front of him with a strange expression.

That girl is pretty clever.

He gently patted the girl's shoulder:

"I'm sorry, I was shallow before. From now on, I will treat you as a person."

"..."

Chu Lingzhu wrinkled her small, delicate nose. "Why does it feel like you're scolding me?"

Only then did she notice Ling Ye behind Jiang Mu.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Chu Lingzhu subconsciously looked down and then looked up at Ling Ye's front.

She was full of energy just a moment ago, but it was as if she had been subjected to a dimensional reduction attack in an instant, and she became much more listless.

Ignoring the girl's shock, Jiang Mu said to Ling Ye seriously:

"Sister Ling, there's no time to lose! We must return to the Demon Slayer Division immediately and report the situation to Lord Ran. Now that we've caught them red-handed, the evidence is irrefutable. We should immediately dispatch men to the Divine Sword Sect to raid and arrest them!"

Ling Ye did not respond.

She looked in the direction the two had fled from, her eyes flickering as if she was hesitating about something.

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Sister Ling, you're not planning to go back and catch that witch, are you?"

Ling Ye did not deny it.

She does indeed have this plan.

Jiang Mu entered the city safely, and her primary mission was considered complete.

At this moment, Qiu Yuexin is locked in a fierce battle with Yuan Wugen, which may be the perfect opportunity for her to capture him and bring him to justice.

Jiang Mu cursed inwardly and quickly advised:

"Sister Ling, it's probably too late to go back now; they've probably already finished fighting."

Moreover, if you return alone, and happen to encounter the bloodthirsty members of the Divine Sword Sect, they might try to kill you in a fit of rage…”

Ling Ye suddenly turned his gaze, which landed on Jiang Mu's face: "Tell me honestly, is that vixen helping you?"

Chu Lingzhu couldn't understand what the two were saying, but she just curiously circled around Ling Ye.

Sometimes he would peek from the left, sometimes from the right, sometimes crouch slightly to look up, and sometimes stand on tiptoe to look down...

After careful study, a serious conclusion was finally reached.

Ok……

It's definitely bigger than my head!

Jiang Mu felt a little uneasy under their gaze and shook her head repeatedly.

"How could that be! Sister Ling, I'm a member of the Demon Slayer Division. Slaying demons and eliminating evil is my duty. How could I..."

As they were talking, Jiang Mu suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

His body swayed twice.

Then she fell straight into Ling Ye's arms...

Ling Ye: "?"
