"Only the Demon King is qualified to stand and talk to me." Yuren could only kneel down to talk to him.
The Stone Demon Half-step Ancestor said indifferently, "The tiger demon was a great general that followed me to establish the new Demon Dimension Dynasty all those years ago, and he saved my life twice. During the final encirclement, he lured the enemies away in order to save me, and that's why he was captured alive and became a beast king that all of you hunted."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts twitched, and their faces became even more gloomy.
"The tiger demon is my savior!" The stone demon sighed as he looked up to the sky. "I have cultivated for hundreds of years, and this time I came back to save him."
"Who knew you would do such a cruel thing!" The stone demon stared at Yu Wenqing with a cold gaze.
The original plan was to lure a powerful Demon King's son, capture him, and use him as a hostage so that the Demon King could remove the prey mark on the tiger demon's body.
As long as the mark was not removed, the tiger demon would not be able to leave the hunting ground. Once it left, it would explode and die.
Unexpectedly, the tiger demon encountered an accident, and all its memories were destroyed.
Even if the prey mark was removed, it would be worse than death.
Yu Wenqing was frightened and said hurriedly, "Senior, please spare my life, I … I didn't capture the tiger demon."
Huh? Everyone was even more suspicious. Was Yu Wenqing trying to shirk his responsibility?
If he didn't capture it, then who did?
There were only a few of them present at that time, and the strongest one was undoubtedly Yu Wenqing.
The stone demon said calmly, "Are you trying to shirk your responsibility? If you didn't capture it, why did you bring it back to the Tianyin Continent? "
"I … I am …" Yu Wenqing looked around and saw many pairs of eyes staring at him.
The stone demon's eyes gradually turned cold. "You have nothing to say, right? I won't ask for anything else from you, as long as you end up with the same incomplete memory."
As he spoke, the stone demon stared at Yu Wenqing, and the sand around him squirmed and stabbed at him.
At this critical moment, Yu Wenqing did not dare to hide anything. He said hurriedly, "It was Su Yu who captured the tiger demon. When I got it, it was already in a state with incomplete memory. It has nothing to do with me!"
The stone demon snorted lightly. "According to the rules of the Demon Realm, the Beast King is related to the opportunity to enter the Demon Army. Why would Su Yu give you the Beast King? It doesn't make sense! It seems you still want to quibble … "
He could no longer listen to Yu Wen Qing's nonsense, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Yu Wen Qing was so scared that his little heart was beating wildly. He hurriedly said, "I stole it!"
The stone demon half-ancestor pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't believe you."
Yu Wen Qing was filled with despair. At this moment, how could he still care about pursuing Lie Hongzhen? He could only hate himself for having to drag this dog skin plaster onto himself. He hurriedly said, "It's true! It was all true! You can ask Lie Bo if you don't believe me! "
The stone demon half-ancestor followed his gaze and looked at Lie Bo.
With just a glance, Lie Bo's body trembled violently, and his knees almost gave way. He hurriedly said, "I … It's none of my business. I didn't touch the tiger demon."
The Stone Demon Half-Ancestor spoke indifferently, "What? You're participating as well? Then, you have a share too. "
Bang!
A giant palm appeared beneath Lie Bo's feet, slapping him to the ground.
Lie Bo covered his face and knelt on the ground obediently. He said pitifully, "Yu Wen Qing and I really didn't do anything to the tiger demon. We didn't even touch it. After it unleashed its hidden cultivation, we both ran away, leaving only Su Yu there. So, it really has nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
Lie Hongzhen said, "Wait! That's not what you said just now. You all said that it was Su Yu who ran away first, and that the two of you stayed behind bravely to protect me! "
The stone demon half-ancestor's eyes turned sharp, and he said indifferently, "Oh? That's interesting. It seems like you're trying to hide it from me and shirk your responsibility. "
When he said this, the two of them were scared out of their wits.
Now that things had come to this, Yu Wen Qing didn't dare to hide anything. She just wanted to get rid of the relationship immediately, so she said anxiously, "No, that's not it! I made up a story to gain Lie Hongzhen's favor!"
"After the tiger demon mutated, I ran away immediately. Then, you appeared, and I took the opportunity to trap Su Yu and snatched his things. Then, in order to woo Lie Hongzhen, I made up all the lies. Lie Bo can testify to all of this. If you don't believe me, you can search my memory."
Lie Bo nodded hurriedly. "Me too. I ran away from the beginning. The tiger demon's transformation has nothing to do with me."
Slap! Slap!
Two resounding slaps landed on their faces.
Lie Hongzhen's eyes were spitting fire, and she glared at them as if she wanted to devour them.
Her body couldn't help but tremble. It was unknown whether it was because of anger or shame. "I don't blame you for leaving me behind. But, why did you snatch away Su Yu's fruits of labor, and … and slander him?"
Her heart trembled violently. She had slapped them in the face, but in reality, she had slapped herself in the face.
How blind had she been to treat Yu Wen Qing, the liar, as her savior, and Su Yu as a coward?
Thinking back to how she had coldly given him a pass, and how Su Yu had left the Heavenly Silver Prefecture without a word of explanation, Lie Hongzhen raised her hand and slapped herself in the face.
Yes, she wished she could slap herself!
Why had she been so stupid, and hurt her savior?
Everyone had run away. Even her own brother, who had received her demonic blood as a gift, had abandoned her.
Only Su Yu, an outsider whom she had only met once, had stayed behind to fight for her until the end.
But what had she done?
She had chased him away!
This was the worst way to make one's heart go cold.
Thinking of this, she chased after him with tears of regret.
However, Su Yu's figure was nowhere to be seen.
After this departure, he would probably never return.
After hearing this, the stone demon half-ancestor tapped their heads with his fingers, searching their memories. After looking, he snorted in disdain. "Heartless and shameless people. Xuanling King was a man of character, so how could he have given birth to such a coward?"
He looked at Lie Bo again, and his disdain deepened. "Sacrificing yourself to help your sister in the face of danger, and then helping an outsider to toy with his own sister. You are a selfish, heartless thing."
"I have killed countless people in my life, but killing you would only dirty my hands!"
The stone demon half-ancestor's feet sank into the ground, and he looked around the Heavenly Silver Prefecture with disdain. He shook his head in disappointment. "A hundred years have passed, and the Demon Realm is getting worse with each generation. Despicable people are everywhere!"
After saying this, he merged into the ground and left.
The Heavenly Silver Prefecture fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and finally, they all stared at Yu Wen Qing and Lie Bo.
