Chapter 672: You Won’t Die if You Don’t Seek Death (3)
“State teacher, you’re saying that there are a lot of… demons here?” When Li Qi heard the word ‘demon’, he s.h.i.+vered in fear and hid behind Pei Yuan.
“That’s right, the number of demons here are very high. Moreover, the majority of them are transformed high-ranked demons. I believe Shen Yanxiao ought to provide an explanation. Do you know the existence of these demons here, yes or no?” Pei Yuan looked at Shen Yanxiao with a stern expression,
Shen Yanxiao secretly gnashed her teeth. Pei Yuan’s appearance was definitely out of her expectations.
She was unable to answer Pei Yuan’s question. There were basically no living humans in the Forsaken Land, and if she were to say she was unaware, she was unable to explain why she had allowed so many unidentified humans into the city. But if she were to say she knew…
That would absolutely be the end!
“I had already found this city to be weird. You are merely a young child and yet, you were able to eliminate all the demons in a main city in a single month. This is unprecedented even throughout the Brilliance Continent, and even if tens of thousand military personnels were utilized, it would be difficult to accomplish that feat. I saw that your city walls have been completed and I believe you must have started long ago. In that case, how did you have the time to clear the demons? Therefore, I had remained silent all along and monitored them in the dark. I believe there are no lack of transformed demons in this city, am I right?” Pei Yuan sneered. In fact, what he had thought was completely in-line with Shen Yanxiao’s concern. He was not asking for an answer from her as he already had an answer.
It was certain that Shen Yanxiao knew the existence of these high-ranked demons!
There was actually someone who dared to join hands with the demons. That was simply unbelievable!
“Shen-Shen Yanxiao! Why aren’t you answering the state teacher’s question. Did… did you really let demons remain in the city?” Li Qi’s complexion had already turned pale from fright. He could not believe that he was surrounded by demons!
Shen Yanxiao frowned. No matter what she answered, Pei Yuan already arrived at a conclusion so anymore explanation was futile.
Even after so much planning went into concealing the demons, she did not expect someone who possesses a mythical beast to be among the team of envoys!
“Your answer does not matter. On the account that you are young and ignorant, I shall let you go for the time being. However, the demons in this city must be eliminated. Today, with my mythical beast, the White Marsh as the lead, I order you and your men to eliminate the demons in this city. I will definitely request for mercy before the Emperor for your sake and to spare your life.” Pei Yuan revealed a lofty aura and a n.o.ble, virtuous posture.
“State teacher! This brat deceived the Emperor and joined hands together with the demons. She has even led us into this dangerous place. How can you speak up on her behalf? A disloyal and unjust person should be cut into pieces!” With Pei Yuan by his side, Li Qi viciously scolded Shen Yanxiao. If he knew beforehand that the demons in the city had yet to be eradicated, he would never have come even if he was beaten to death.
It was that brat’s fault for unable to distinguish the difference between humans and demons, thus causing them to be in such a dangerous predicament.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and remained silent. She then stared at Pei Yuan and Li Qi and all of a sudden, she lowered her head. A moment later, a wave of laughter could be heard.
“Forget it, this is how my character is so why should I care so much?” A low whisper sounded from her mouth.
Pei Yuan and the others were confused by Shen Yanxiao’s strange behavior so they could only stare at her.
Shen Yanxiao looked up the next second and an odd smile could be seen on her gorgeous face.
“State teacher Pei Yuan, do you know how many demons there were in the city at first?”
