Chapter 231: Slandering Lin Bai
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation I Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this moment, the blood color in the City Lord’s pupils had already faded, and he looked no different from a normal person. The surrounding black gas had also completely dissipated, and his expression was somewhat panicked and scared. Seeing these people, it was like he saw a savior.
On the other hand, Lin Baï’s body was covered in blood stains. In addition, he had eliminated too much evil energy previously, which caused his entire body to be covered in a dense murderous aura that could not be dispersed for a long time. It was as if he had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
A faint b.l.o.o.d.y light flashed in Lin Baï’s eyes. He looked more like evil ghost than the City Lord. Those who did not know would have thought that the creature that had been sealed had run onto his body.
Everyone was actually a little frightened by his appearance. For a moment, they were very vigilant as they stared at Lin Bai. On the other hand, the City
Lord took advantage of the moment when Lin Bai was absent-minded to hide behind everyone. Without waiting for Lin Bai to speak, he said,
The monster in the seal has already invaded his mind. Everyone, please don’t fall for it!
Lin Bai finally understood what a thief shouting to catch a thief meant. His gaze turned cold, and his five fingers turned into claws as he was about to grab the City Lord
Seeing that he attacked without saying anything, it was obvious that he didn’t put them in his eyes. How could the elders of the ancient families still tolerate this? They shouted angrily, “Impudent!” At the same time, spiritual energy surged out of their palms and attacked Lin Bai mercilessly.
After being interrupted repeatedly, Lin Bai was somewhat impatient. “Can’t you see that the City Lord has already been infected by the black gas?
The one occupying this body is merely a monster. Its main body tried to break through the seal, but it was beaten back by me. Now, it still lacks this strand of soul. If it isn’t destroyed in time, it is hard to guarantee that it will return in the future.”
Everyone looked at each other. Since these two people said that the other was infected, which one should they believe?
The City Lord laughed coldly, “You don’t even know when to lie. If I was infected, with your strength, how could you deal with me? You still want to deceive us. I advise you to surrender.” “Everyone, don’t listen to his nonsense. When the Vice City Lord and I were preparing to strengthen the seal, who knew that this monster had already taken over this kid’s body and ambushed us when we weren’t prepared. Now, the Vice City Lord is on his last breath to save me. If it wasn’t for him risking his life to protect me, I’m afraid that I would have fallen into the hands of the
Devil.”
The City Lord gritted his teeth and spoke with great sincerity. Everyone’s gaze fell on the heavily injured and unconscious Ren Zeyuan. As expected, his aura was weak, and the wounds on his body were indeed surrounded by black qi. It was all in line with what the City Lord had said.
However, what they did not know was that the black qi on Ren Zeyuan’s body was not caused by anyone else. Instead, it was emitted from his internal body.
However, if one was not careful, it would be difficult to detect it.
Seeing the wariness and faint hostility in everyone’s eyes, Lin Bai knew that things weren’t looking good. “This monster is used to bewitching people. In reality, it bewitched the City
Lord first and then the Vice City Lord. Not only did it almost destroy our pill refinement, but it even used a clone to help the main body break through the seal. Now, it wants to stir up trouble
Before Lin Bai could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the City Lord as if he had heard a fairy tale. “You’re saying that both the Vice City Lord and I were bewitched? Why didn’t you say that the entire City Lord’s Estate is already a nest of monsters? How could a dignified City Lord be easily fooled? Even if you make up an excuse, don’t you know how to come up with a better one?
The City Lord’s prestige had always been very high in front of everyone, so very few people believed in Lin Bal’s words. In addition, Lin Bai’s name was unknown, so not many people present knew him. Compared to such a small figure, it was clear that everyone was more willing to believe the City Lord’s words
Everyone’s balance gradually tilted towards the City Lord.
The elder of the Gu clan said, “Don’t even think about misleading us. Everyone knows that the City Lord’s Estate has been protecting and consolidating the seal for generations. How could they be easily bewitched? Otherwise, the world would be in chaos.”
Many people felt that it made sense, and they all agreed, “That’s right. The City
Lord has been guarding this place for so long. How could it be like what you said? Moreover, your words are full of loopholes.”
That’s right! The City Lord’s cultivation is very advanced. It’s impossible for him to be bewitched. It’s all because of you, kid. What are you trying to do here?
Seeing that Lin Bai had become the target of public criticism, the City Lord did not forget to add fuel to the fire. “Although my body was indeed injured by the black qi in the beginning, it was all to suppress the demonic creature in this seal. It was definitely not what you said about being corrupted. That’s why I gathered the alchemists to refine pills for me and dispel the demonic qi. I just didn’t expect that a demonic creature like you would be lurking by my side and giving me a fatal blow.”
Lin Bai looked at the City Lord who was protected by everyone. He was obviously an evil demon, but at this moment, he seemed like a righteous person. He had to admit that his acting skills were really good. No wonder when it possessed Ren Zeyuan’s body earlier, no one noticed his strange behavior. “If you don’t believe what I said, you can ask elder Yan and the others. Back then, this demon was on Ren Zeyuan’s body and destroyed our medicine refinement”
At this moment, everyone did not believe what Lin Bai said at all. “Elder Yan and the others are seriously injured and unconscious. They won’t be able to wake up fora while. Don’t think of stalling for time.”
Right now, there wasn’t even anyone who was willing to testify for Lin Bai. It could be said that even if he had mouth, he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly.
This kid’s behavior is suspicious. Even if he wasn’t injected by the black gas, he probably isn’t a good person.
I think so too. When we first arrived here, he wanted to make a move on the
City Lord. Could it be that he wanted to kill him to silence him? Then, the city lord would died any evidence.” “He’s really vicious! We almost fell for his trick.”
