Chapter 161
Lord Wang Jie looked at the little girl beside Xu Ming, his heart filled with doubt.
This little girl gave off a human-like aura, but she had horns on her head and vertical pupils in her eyes. Yet, strangely, there was no trace of demonic energy on her.
“I encountered some trouble earlier, and this girl saved me,” Xu Ming said, offering the explanation he had already prepared. “Perhaps she’s a half-blood between humans and demons. Her human bloodline seems to be dominant, so her demonic aura is faint.”
“That’s certainly possible,” Wang Jie nodded.
If the child was a half-blood of human and demon heritage, and further interbred with humans, it would indeed dilute the demonic aura to near nonexistence.
Without dwelling further, Wang Jie summoned a flying boat, which carried Xu Ming and his companions toward the governor of Qingyang County.
On the flying boat, through their conversations, Xu Ming learned that Yu Wenxi and the others, realizing the gravity of the situation, had gone to seek reinforcements.
They had tried to recruit an elder from a nearby academy, but the elder was unavailable, and his disciples weren’t strong enough to risk their lives for such a cause. Thus, they had no choice but to let it go.
Fortunately, the governor of Qingyang County, Wang Jie, had come to their aid.
