Ji Xiuning said coldly, "The spawn of the Demon Race? The high-ranking mbers of the Dragon Temple and the four major Mizhou secretly implanted with the Demon Bloodline, are there not enough?"
Huai Bingyi said, "Is this really happening? We will catch every one we see and show no rcy."
"Hahaha..." Ji Xiuning said, "Let’s not boast here. The Golden Bloodline of the Dragon is extrely rare, only the highest echelons can possess it. Because two Hell Knights were captured, various Demon Bloodlines were copied in the Demonic Laboratory. To obtain an immortal body, how many people secretly injected with Demon Bloodline? At the highest level of the Dragon Temple, it’s hardly a secret."
Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "Even so, their hearts belong to the Dragon Temple. But by keeping that spawn of the Demon Race, it ans you have already fallen. Not only that, your spawn of the Demon is barely clinging to life, so you secretly went to the Fla Demon Empire to seek the Golden Demon Bloodline from Lanling to save your spawn of the Demon Race, and even engaged in so unspeakable transaction with Lanling, completely betraying the interests of the Dragon Temple, didn’t you?"
Ji Xiuning said, "That’s correct, I did have dealings with Lanling. But...I did not betray the Dragon Temple’s interests."
Huai Bingyi said each word clearly, "Who is Lanling? You know better than I do, making deals with him is truly a suicidal road!"
Ji Xiuning suddenly drew her sword, ready to act.
But then, disheartened, she sheathed her sword back, and with a desolate laugh said, "Was being captured by the Witch Kingdom my wish? Was being infused with the Divine Demon Source Spring my wish? I have already hardened my heart to take only the three-month-old child out to prove my innocence, yet upon entering the Sky Holy Palace I still beca an outcast persecuted, degraded from Sky Holy Maiden to inspector, never seeing a day of success again. That child is all I have left. Is it wrong to want to save my own son?"
"Wrong, certainly wrong!" Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "That is a spawn of the Demon Race. When you know he has not died, you should imdiately end his life."
Ji Xiuning said, "Teacher, are you asking to kill my own son?"
"I am asking you to kill the demon spawn," Candidate Sky Priest said, "Back then Zhi Yan could kill her own husband Suo Lun, why can’t you kill the spawn of the Demon Race?"
Ji Xiuning said forlornly, "I see, the Dragon Temple teaches people to abandon humanity."
Ji ngbai said, "Are you surprised? When you asked Zhi Yan to kill Suo Lun back then, you didn’t hesitate even a bit!"
Ji Xiuning said, "Then what do you plan to do with ? Take back to the Dragon Temple to be burned alive?"
"No, of course not!" Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "You were once the Sky Holy Maiden and now a senior inspector, a figurehead of the Dragon Temple. You cannot be tarnished nor disposed of."
Having said that, Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu stepped forward with Ji ngbai and Huai Bingyi, standing before Ji Xiuning.
He placed a hand on Ji Xiuning’s head, releasing an imnsely powerful energy, pinning her to the ground motionless.
"Ji Xiuning, you collude with Demon Emperor Lanling, betray the Dragon Temple, betray the Dragon faith, and betray the Human Kingdom. On behalf of the Sky Holy Palace, I formally sentence you to death!" Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "You two, execute!"
"I apologize," Huai Bingyi said, drawing out the Dragon Gold Demon-Slaying Sword, and accurately thrusting it into Ji Xiuning’s heart.
"Squelch..."
Ji Xiuning’s chest was directly pierced, blood splattering.
Ji Xiuning held the sword, for a few seconds contemplating resistance but ultimately did not.
"Thank you..." Ji ngbai’s words held a special aning.
Ji Xiuning was originally slated to beco a Sky Priest. With her demise, a spot would open, and the most likely candidate to fill it would be Ji ngbai.
Then, staring into Ji Xiuning’s exquisite eyes, he slowly thrust the sword into her heart.
Ji ngbai was an adopted son of the Fla Emperor Royal Family, once envied Ji Xiuning greatly, even harbored a sliver of wicked fantasy about her.
To climb higher, he abandoned Ji ngbai and chose Fang Qingdi, a girl from Yin Zhou, breaking free from being the adopted son of the Fla Empire, entering the Sky Holy Palace’s inner circle.
The identity as Fla Empire’s prince was once his honor. But after turning sixteen, it beca his sha.
Climbing to this day, he finally felt the position of Sky Priest within reach.
Piercing the Dragon Gold Demon-Slaying Sword fully into Ji Xiuning’s heart, and after it was completely impaled, Ji ngbai saw her painful expression, his impeccably handso face showed a smile, then sliced horizontally.
Not only did it pierce her heart, but also directly sliced it in half!
Suddenly, Huai Bingyi glanced over at Ji ngbai.
Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "Feel at ease!"
Then, he gently patted Ji Xiuning’s head.
Instantly, Ji Xiuning fell lifelessly to the ground.
After killing Ji Xiuning, Ji ngbai said, "Teacher, what should we do with her body? Take it back to the Demonic Laboratory?"
"No..." Hui Gu said, "Don’t attract that trouble, don’t provoke her father and teacher. Rember, Ji Xiuning was not killed by us, it was Lanling who did it, because she died in the Demon Race’s territory, leave so clues and traces to suggest Lanling was the killer."
Ji ngbai said, "We don’t have Lanling’s token, it’s like we can’t leave any mark."
Huai Bingyi went to a huge stone slab, writing with a sword, "Murderer: Lanling!"
Utterly resembles Lanling’s own writing, almost identical.
Ji ngbai said, "Isn’t this framing too obvious?"
Huai Bingyi said, "If Lanling killed Ji Xiuning, wouldn’t he boldly declare to the world that he killed her? Does this not align with his madman personality?"
Ji ngbai thought for a mont, "Makes sense!"
Then, Ji ngbai said, "Teacher, should we burn her body?"
Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu said, "Why burn it? Just leave it exposed, let the Fla Empire leader and Ji Xiuning’s teacher’s n see clearly."
"Yes!" Ji ngbai said.
"Let’s go..." Hui Gu said.
The trio stared at Ji Xiuning’s body for a while, then swiftly disappeared, headed north along the sea, within monts covering several kiloters.
Half an hour later, the trio had completely vanished, gone without a trace!
...
Lanling erged from the sea, stepping onto the island!
At this mont, his heart couldn’t help but feel shocked!
The Dragon Temple’s people are indeed ruthless and decisive; the Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning, daughter of the Fla Emperor, and a direct disciple of the Secondary Sky Priest, killed just like that!
Truly disowning all kin.
Lanling squatted down, carefully examining Ji Xiuning’s body.
The heart not only was pierced, but was also completely cut into four pieces, the entire brain was shattered by Candidate Sky Priest Hui Gu.
Strictly speaking, Ji Xiuning was dead beyond dead.
Her beautiful eyes still open, staring at the starry sky, her pupils entirely dilated, blood still streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Truly dying with regrets!
She abandoned wealth and honor all her life, discarded emotions, dedicating both body and soul wholly to the Dragon Temple. Even after being abandoned by the Dragon Temple, she would not betray it.
Yet now, killed on this desolate island.
Looking at the nearby stone slab: Murderer: Lanling.
Huai Bingyi truly had a talent for this, the handwriting genuinely identical to Lanling’s, even Lanling himself would find it indistinguishable, showing just how deeply this person studied him?
Lanling reached out, gripping Ji Xiuning’s chin.
This woman is so dead, he genuinely doesn’t know if he can save her.
His Golden Demon Bloodline is formidable, but can only resurrect those not entirely dead, needing at least a hint of vitality.
And now, Ji Xiuning, truly appears devoid of any vitality, looks dead beyond dead.
"Sigh..." Lanling sighed, treating a dead horse like a living one.
After all, saving Tang Ren still requires this Ji Xiuning.
Lanling took out a crystal stone dagger, aiming it at his heart, extracting a drop of Golden Demon Blood, and dripped it into Ji Xiuning’s cut-open heart.
