Chapter 42 Sacrifice
The crowd dispersed, but the hearts of the surrounding people couldn’t calm down for a long time. They could no longer distinguish between right and wrong.
Was that sword cultivator just now the one who struck down the demon in Lin’an County with a single sword?
A complex and indescribable emotion welled up within them as they glanced at the dying Jiao Long and gradually left the area.
Before long, Fulong Manor fell silent once more, the quiet pervasive.
"Little brother, what does Li Mountain mean?" Li Fan asked, looking at Wen Ruyu.
"Since I came, don’t you understand, Xiao Fan? Even without the Lin’an County incident, the court would find other excuses," Wen Ruyu replied, and Li Fan nodded immediately.
His senior brother had arrived, and Li Fan understood Li Mountain’s intentions.
It seemed this turmoil was bound to involve Li Mountain.
The true target behind the initial attention on Fulong Manor was, in fact, Li Mountain.
"Look at those people, who talk about slaying demons and ridding evil. Yet, for an excuse, so many lives are lost. They didn’t have to do it, but they did," Wen Ruyu said. "Because they simply don’t care about those deaths."
Li Fan had seen through those faces during his training in Lin’an County. Just as his senior brother said, they preached righteousness while secretly committing heinous acts.
