The fairy's inner demons are amazing!

Chapter 18: Sucking again

Li Huailin took out the seal, raised it, and shouted to the crowd with great conviction. His eyes, when looking at Ning Xiuyang, were filled with intense resentment and hatred.

In an instant.

All eyes below the steps were fixed on Ning Xiuyang, who stood beside Ye Yin.

Li Huailin's goal was clear: to kill the real culprit who killed his son!

These words first separated Ye Yin from the whole incident, and then expressed his attitude towards the Ye family by mentioning secret medicines and precious medicines.

He only wanted to avenge his son.

Who could refuse such a simple request?

Moreover, the entire Medicine King Gang was offered as payment.

Even now, facing the watchful eyes of groups like the Great Sword Society, the Sword Guiding Sect, and even the Northern Garrison Army, Ye Yin protected Ning Xiuyang.

But he will eventually become the target of public criticism.

With the Medicine King Gang's huge profits right in front of them and the Ye family's reputation intact, even if Ye Yin wanted to protect him, the Ye family's higher-ups would not let Ning Xiuyang live. They would take the initiative to kill this "disobedient" little servant in exchange for ownership of the Medicine King Gang.

This was undoubtedly a calculated move by Li Huailin after he had burned his bridges.

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!

For Ning Xiuyang, either way, it's a dead end!

The way Huo Zifeng, the leader of the White Horse Gang, looked at Ning Xiuyang showed that Li Huailin's plan had worked!

At this moment, Ning Xiuyang, with his brows furrowed, stared at Li Huailin with a mixture of killing intent and surprise.

A dark ball of light, even smaller than the previous Ye Yin's inner demon, emerged from between Li Huailin's eyebrows. The next moment, the ball of light was absorbed into the Myriad Manifestations Mirror.

Within the ball of light, Li Huailin appeared deranged, with red hair, fangs, and a fierce glint in his eyes, roaring incessantly: "You killed my beloved son, so I will kill you in return!"

This is Li Huailin's inner demon of revenge.

Seeing the words "[To be refined]" on the ball of light, Ning Xiuyang's mind stirred.

[Refining in progress...]

at the same time.

"You old scoundrel, do you really want to be my enemy?"

Ye Yin frowned, turned her head and glared at Li Huailin fiercely.

Hu Yidao stood in front of Li Huailin, clearly worried that Ye Yin would kill him.

Li Huailin's eyes twitched, and he said with a fierce but weak expression, "Miss Ye, what do you mean by that? I'm only seeking revenge for the murder of my son. Tell me, is that wrong?"

"That's right!"

At this moment, Wang Tianyang, the leader of the Big Knife Gang, suddenly shouted in a loud voice.

"A life for a life, a debt for a debt—this has been the principle since ancient times."

"If Miss Ye is unwilling to commit such a killing, then I, Wang, will gladly accept the Medicine King Gang."

Wang Tianyang grinned maliciously, immediately gripped the knife in his hand, and with a kick of his toes, the knife unleashed a chilling blade of energy in the air, slashing straight towards Ning Xiuyang behind Ye Yin.

"Zifeng!"

Ye Yin frowned slightly, gave a sharp shout, and her face was full of frost.

Seeing the chilling blade aura, Ye Yin advanced instead of retreating, directly blocking Ning Xiuyang's path.

Huo Zifeng, whom she called, shouted loudly.

"Where are the White Horse Gang members? Protect the young lady!"

However, he still glanced at Ning Xiuyang, a hint of undisguised ambition hidden in his eyes.

Then, Huo Zifeng took the lead in confronting Wang Tianyang, raising his longsword to block the attack of the blade energy.

Ye Yin's attitude gave Ning Xiuyang some confidence.

He knew that Ye Yin wasn't reluctant to let him die, but rather that her life was in his hands and she dared not let him die, which was why she was protecting him like this.

But he understood even more clearly that Ye Yin could protect him for a while, but not forever.

Even if he escapes now, he will still die when he returns to the Ye family.

As for running away, with his current strength, how could he possibly outrun the Medicine King Gang, the Ye family, and all the other forces in the city?

The only option right now is to survive!

"You scum of the White Horse Gang, have you been blinded? Even if I don't kill this stable boy, how could the Ye family let him go?"

Having failed in his first attack, and seeing the madman in front of him, and the White Horse Gang members who gradually surged up behind him, forming a human wall that surrounded Ning Xiuyang, Ye Yin, and the Li family's servants, Wang Tianyang felt a sense of apprehension.

"The Ye family's affairs are none of Chief Wang's concern!" Huo Zifeng replied coldly.

Seeing that his attempt to sow discord had failed, Wang Tianyang frowned, stared at Ning Xiuyang who was slowly retreating in the crowd behind Huo Zifeng, and suddenly shouted.

"Chief Zhou, if we don't make a decision now, and this stable boy returns to the Ye family, our efforts will be in vain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiuwang, the leader of the Sword-Drawing Sect, hesitated for a moment, then drew his sword and said loudly, "Miss Ye, we have no intention of making things difficult for you. The Li family's matter is settled, and you may leave."

Then, he raised his arm and shouted, "Disciples of the Sword-Drawing Sect, heed my command! Slay the stable boy and avenge Chief Li!"

"yes!"

The disciples of the Sword-Drawing Sect immediately obeyed the order, and the clanging of swords being drawn echoed continuously.

Wang Tianyang then looked at Shen Dali, the transport commissioner of the garrison, and said respectfully, "General Shen, we know that you are acting on the orders of the garrison commander, but this is a matter of the martial world, so let's follow the rules of the martial world. We will each rely on our own abilities. Whoever kills this little stable boy will take over the Medicine King Gang, is that acceptable?"

Obviously.

Aside from Ye Yin, Shen Dali's background was the most intimidating. Coming from Qinzhou, he was already of a higher level than the other forces present. As the garrison's transport commissioner, he held a high position and wielded great power. In an instant, everyone's attention turned to him.

Ye Yin was no exception.

What she was most worried about was the garrison getting involved.

Once Shen Dali makes it clear that he intends to make things difficult for the Ye family, the final outcome of this matter will be beyond her control. Only the master of Shenjian Manor or the old lady herself can intervene.

Shen Dali, who had not expressed his opinion until now, slowly took a few steps forward.

He didn't look at Wang Tianyang and the others, nor at Ning Xiuyang, who was the focus of everyone's attention at the moment. Instead, he stared straight at Ye Yin, his honest and tough face showing a hint of gentleness.

"Miss Ye, I am here not to compete for the Medicine King Gang, but to prevent large-scale fighting in the city from affecting the common people."

"Whether it's a dispute among you martial artists, a matter of revenge or a struggle for ownership, I, Shen, will not pursue or participate in it."

Shen Dali's iron-blooded gaze swept across the faces of Wang Tianyang, Zhou Xiuwang, and the others.

Then, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and said, "In addition, the governor asked me to pass on a message to Miss Ye, asking you to tell your father or the person in charge of the Ye family that the annual hunting competition in Wumeng Mountain will not be held this year due to your master's illness. However, the prefectural governor's office has decided to join forces with our garrison to change this year's hunting competition to a contest for the secret realm of Chimang Mountain. If we don't take the treasures in this secret realm, I'm afraid they will be taken by the demonic people or evil spirits of the Manluo Holy Sect."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yin's eyes first lit up with joy, but then suddenly darkened.

The governor mentioned by Shen Dali was Chen Dashan, the garrison commander of Qinzhou Garrison.

This Crimson Python Mountain Secret Realm originally belonged to the Divine Sword Manor. If it weren't for the sudden opening of this secret realm, Father Ye Zhenxiong wouldn't have fallen into the trap of that witch from the Barbarian Holy Sect, resulting in serious injuries and a life-threatening condition.

Currently, Divine Sword Manor is plotting to seize the secret realm.

But now, Shen Dali, representing the garrison and the prefectural governor's office, has come to deliver a message, wanting to replace this secret realm that originally belonged to the Ye family with the annual Wumeng Mountain hunting competition. This is practically outright robbery!

However, the garrison commander's office represents the military of the Great Qi, and the prefectural governor's office represents the imperial court. If these two families join forces, even the Ye family cannot afford to offend them.

No wonder Shen Dali, the transport commissioner of the garrison, would appear here. Normally, the Medicine King Gang of the small Jinshui County, although wealthy, would not be of any interest to the Chen family. Moreover, the military's interference in civilian martial arts business would be subject to impeachment by the imperial censors.

It turns out that Shen Dali appeared in Jinshui County to deliver a message.

As for the so-called prevention of armed conflict, that's just empty talk. If a real fight breaks out, Shen Dali will probably be the first one sitting on the sidelines, eating sunflower seeds.

Ye Yin felt heavy-hearted, but she knew that this matter was beyond her control.

However, without the garrison commander's interference, it was much easier for him to protect the young servant.
