Chapter 861: Public Outrage Is Difficult to Appease

"Why did Meng Cao kill Jiang Yan?" Song Wen asked.

Le Liang said, "Meng Cao is a womanizer, and Jiang Yan is a beautiful woman. Meng Cao has coveted her for a long time. In the past, with Jiang Lu always by Jiang Yan's side, Meng Cao naturally had no chance to make a move. But, Jiang Yan Lu went out on a mission, which gave Meng Cao an opportunity. "

"He lured Jiang Yan into his wooden house and wanted to do something casual. However, Jiang Yan had a strong temper and refused to obey. In anger, Meng Cao accidentally beat her to death."

"The wooden house where Meng Cao is located has a formation set up by Meng Lengyu, and the Jindan monks cannot detect the situation in the wooden house at all. It was Senior Ziyun of the Liangyi Sect who came to inspect the area and discovered something strange in the wooden house, so he let The matter came to light.”

Song Wendao. "Where is Meng Cao? He won't be killed by Senior Ziyun, right?"

Now is the time of the war between humans and monsters. In order to maintain the harmony within the monk army, it is not impossible for Ziyun to directly execute Meng Cao.

Le Liang said, "Senior Ziyun is a member of the outer sect and cannot interfere in the internal affairs of our Wuji Sect. She sealed Meng Cao's spiritual power and locked him in Meng Cao's own wooden house, waiting for Demon Lord Yin Shuo and Ye Demon Lord Hua comes back to take revenge."

Song Wendao said, "Meng Cao is so cowardly! Even if he doesn't know it, the Demon Lord personally promised to protect Jiang Yan. He touched Jiang Yan. How can Jiang Lu spare him lightly once he comes back?"

Le Liang said, "He probably didn't intend to kill Jiang Yan at the beginning. He just wanted to taint her. As long as Jiang Yan doesn't die and Meng Lengyu supports him, Jiang Lu won't do anything to him."

Song Wen slowly shook his head and sighed helplessly. It seems that Jiang Yan's death is not worth it, and it seems that Jiang Lu's risk of going to Fang Zhudao is not worth it.

"What do the other Jindan elders in the sect say?" Song Wen said.

Le Liang said, "Most of the elders of the Golden Core stage are just sitting on the sidelines. They are probably waiting for the Demon Lord and Jiang Lu to return. By then, the Demon Lord will definitely give Jiang Lu an explanation. In addition, the sect's foundation-building monks , they were not aware of the Demon Lord's promise, and most of them were aggrieved about it. At that time, Senior Ziyun forced the wooden house formation to reveal the matter, which immediately aroused the anger of the crowd. If Senior Ziyun hadn't stopped them, Meng Cao would have been furious. I was afraid he would be beaten to death on the spot.”

Song Wendao said, "You and I can't get involved in this matter. We can only wait for the Demon Lord and the Demon Lord to come back and deal with it personally."

The look on Leliang's face was slightly uneasy.

"Jiang Yan and Meng Cao are both from our Alchemy Palace. I'm worried that the Demon Lord will punish me for the crime of 'laxy'."

Song Wen turned his head and glanced at Leliang.

He was just curious as to why Leliang was so concerned about Jiang Yan's life and death. It turned out that he was worried about himself.

"Don't worry, Palace Master, this matter has nothing to do with you; what's more, now is the time to employ people, and the Demon Lord will not punish you." Song Wendao.

"I hope so!"

Leliang still looked a little worried.

After bidding farewell to Leliang and not building a wooden house, Song Wen could only find an open space, sit on the ground, and start meditating and regulating his breath.

The place where he meditated was not far from Meng Cao's wooden house. He looked at the wooden house intentionally or unintentionally.

There were many Wuji Sect disciples surrounding the wooden house.

What Meng Cao did touched the bottom line of these people.

There are many disciples who have Taoist partners or children.

For the sake of the righteousness of the human race, they risk life and death on the front. If the safety of their wives and children at home cannot be guaranteed, who will go into battle and sacrifice their lives for the sect?

Therefore, these demon disciples rarely stepped forward to seek justice for Jiang Yan, who had nothing to do with them.

Perhaps he was worried that Meng Cao would be beaten to death by these people. After Ziyun forcibly broke the formation arranged by Meng Lengyu, someone re-arranged a third-level defensive formation.

This formation did not have the ability to isolate spiritual consciousness. Song Wen's spiritual consciousness easily penetrated it and found that Meng Cao was curled up on the ground inside the wooden house, bound by a chain, and his Dantian was also sealed.

While behind bars, Meng Cao didn't have much fear on his face.

Perhaps he firmly believed that as long as Meng Lengyu returned, he would help him clean up this mess as before.

...

An hour later.

Ten figures appeared above Yangning Island.

It was Yin Shuo and five other Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as five Golden Core cultivators.

After learning from Song Wen that the Monster Tribe had two new fourth-level sharks, there was no need to continue the mission of attacking and killing the third-level monsters.

In order to avoid unnecessary loss of manpower, the three major forces retrieved the golden elixir monks sent by each.

However, not everyone can return.

Three of the nine Jindan cultivators have died.

The Wuji Sect also lost one person - Jiang Lu.

Since they had to discuss strategies to deal with the demon clan, Yin Shuo and Ye Hua glanced at the Wuji Sect's station, then did not pay much attention. Together with other Nascent Soul monks, they headed towards the peak with the flattened top.

Only Meng Lengyu flew towards the Wuji Sect's headquarters.

At this moment, the dozens of foundation-building disciples surrounding Meng Cao's wooden house suddenly all knelt down.

"I beg the Demon Lord and Lord Demon Lord to seek justice for Jiang Yan and severely punish Meng Cao."

Dozens of foundation-building monks shouted in unison, their voices like rolling thunder piercing the sky.

Meng Lengyu staggered violently and almost fell from the sky.

To be able to make dozens of foundation-building monks plead for severe punishment at the same time, Meng Cao's mistakes must be the wrath of heaven and the people.

Thinking of her son's past behavior and the "Jiang Yan" mentioned by everyone, Meng Lengyu instantly guessed what Meng Cao had done.

She hurriedly accelerated and flew towards Meng Cao's wooden house.

However, someone was faster than her.

Ye Hua!

He flashed and appeared in front of the kneeling crowd.

"You all stand up and talk."

The foundation-building cultivators dared not disobey and stood up one after another.

"What happened in the end? Tell us in detail." Ye Hua said.

A male foundation-building cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage recounted the incident in detail.

"Where is Jiang Yan's body?" Ye Hua said in a somewhat cold tone.

"Demon Lord, it's here with me." Le Liang, who had been waiting aside for a long time, hurriedly spoke.

As soon as the words fell, a black corpse coffin appeared out of thin air and landed in front of Ye Hua.

Ye Hua raised his hand and waved, and the coffin lid naturally slid down.

Jiang Yan's body appeared in front of Ye Hua.

Jiang Yan's death was very tragic, with blood all over her left face and her neck completely broken, as if she was slapped in the face.

Ye Hua's face was as gloomy as water.

"Did Meng Cao do this?"

"Yes." Le Liang replied.

The murderous intent in Ye Hua's body suddenly rose, spreading like a substance, causing the air around him to solidify instantly, so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

Ye Hua turned his head and looked at the wooden house where Meng Cao was, his eyes as sharp as a blade.
