Swish—

Almost at the instant someone suddenly accused in the crowd, all the people around the one called Li Debang simultaneously backed away from him, instantly creating a blank area. Even those who were as close as life brothers a second ago were now glaring at him with hostility.

"No! It’s not me! I’m not a demon!"

Li Debang was on the verge of tears from anxiety.

"I originally came to find Hou Mo to slack off and drink, who would have thought that as soon as I reached the entrance, I would see Lord Tai’s corpse, I, I, I, it’s really not me!!"

While saying this, he even nervously drew his sword, terrifying the people around him who also drew their swords at the same time. He had already placed the sword against his own neck.

"Lord Tai was like a father to me, treated me like a son, I respected him and held him in high esteem, how could I dare kill him! If you don’t believe me and insist on accusing me of being a demon, I can take my own life here to prove my innocence! I only ask that after my death, you find the real culprit and avenge both me and Lord Tai!"

Demon, after all, is just wearing human skin, and once that skin is destroyed, the demon reveals itself.

Li Debang was inherently simple-minded, and this was the only way he could think of to prove his innocence.

His actions were too extreme.

Yet among the people around, how many could be sure he wasn’t acting?

Demons, ever so cunning, so adept at manipulating people’s hearts!!

The few brothers close to Li Debang were all brought to tears.

"Alright! Brother, you may just take one stab, if you are a demon, we will slay the demon and rid the evil, avenging both you and Lord Tai! If you are not a demon, we will scour through Thunder City and pursue the truth all our lives to bring this matter to light!"

At this point, it seemed as though Li Debang had no choice but to die.

But he didn’t want to die!

His legs were going weak, his hands were trembling, and his heart was sinking into despair.

And at that moment...

A lighthearted, incongruous voice emerged.

"What are you all doing?"

Everyone turned to see that the newcomer was none other than Thunder City’s newest contributing Guest Elder of the Forest Snake Gang, Mr. Diao!

"Seems like quite a lively scene."

A head popped out from behind Fang Yu, blinking, seeming to be in a good mood.

It was Mrs. Diao! Mr. Diao’s wife!

Fang Yu suddenly intervened, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly cooled down.

Those who wanted to die became less eager to die.

Those who urged for death began to feel ashamed, bowing their heads, not daring to meet others’ eyes.

"Mr. Diao! Where have you been!"

Fa Hongbao excitedly stepped forward.

Indeed, only Mr. Diao could give me a sense of security!

That Miss Qiu, though possibly very powerful, isn’t on the same side as me, only makes one feel apprehensive.

"Young Master Diao, you arrived late, but we have almost unraveled the truth of the matter."

Fang Yu was taken aback.

Good news indeed.

That would save him a lot of trouble.

"What’s the current situation then?"

Fang Yu asked Fa Hongbao.

Swish—

Fa Hongbao directly pointed at Li Debang.

"He’s a demon, he killed the patrolling Hou Mo and wore Hou Mo’s human skin. Hou Mo was Tai Xuelin’s trusted aide, after deceiving Tai Xuelin’s trust, he killed Tai Xuelin silently, planning to use that human skin to disguise himself until he could escape the Forest Snake Gang!"

Is that really true??

Fang Yu glanced at the guy holding a sword to his neck, almost in tears.

[Li Debang: 1426/1426.]

Fang Yu:...

Fang Yu:?

Fang Yu:???

No, a thousand-blood demon??

What are you doing? Are you serious?

A Thousand Blood Demon slaying a Hall Master-level expert with four thousand blood??? Do you have any idea how many times stronger that is???
