Forest Bird City, Huo Family Conference Hall.
Yang Li and Mu Yun didn't have to wait for long before the leaders of the other major forces arrived.
"Huo Fa, I heard that many people from your family died?" Xue Wu shouted as soon as he arrived.
When Huo Fa heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. However, he still calmed himself down and said, "That's right. Recently, there are only a few direct descendants of the younger generation left in our clan. I don't dare to let them leave my side for too long."
"I really don't know what enmity that demon servant has with our Huo Family. How could he be so ruthless towards our Huo Family!"
However, Huo Fa looked at Yang Li from the corner of his eyes. Among everyone present, only Yang Li had the greatest enmity with the Huo Family. Speaking of enmity, he unconsciously looked at Yang Li.
The others didn't notice Huo Fa's gaze. Only Yang Li noticed it. However, Yang Li didn't say anything. He only smiled faintly and listened to their conversation.
After Mu Yun heard Huo Fa's words, he said in a deep voice, "The matter of the demon servant must be resolved. When Yang Li returned two days ago, he passed by a small city and wanted to ask the person in charge of the Lunar Exploration Association branch about the demon servant. However, he unexpectedly discovered that my Lunar Exploration Association branch had been destroyed by the demon servant!"
"If it wasn't for Yang Li telling me, I would still be in the dark about this matter. Moreover, I heard from Yang Li that half of the people in that small city were killed by the demon servant and their flesh and spiritual energy were sucked dry."
"What? There's such a thing?! "Xue Wu was greatly shocked.
Huo Fa was stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, "May I ask which small city it was?"
Mu Yun gave him a meaningful look and said, "Dusty Wind City."
Huo Fa's expression suddenly became ugly. Because his expression changed so obviously, the others also looked at Huo Fa in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Huo Fa?"
Huo Fa said in a hoarse voice, "Huo Yu went to Dust Wind City a few days ago, and he hasn't returned yet …"
When the others heard this news, they immediately looked at Huo Fa with pity. The result was obvious. Huo Yu had most likely been killed and devoured by the demon servants.
"Patriarch Huo, my condolences," Xue Wu said sympathetically.
Huo Fa weakly nodded his head, the light in his eyes slowly dimming. Yang Li, on the other hand, was still smiling, a stark contrast to the sympathetic expressions of the others. Even Mu Yun had a faint smile on his face.
After the atmosphere turned heavy, everyone fell silent. After a long time, Xue Wu said in a deep voice, "How about this? Let's talk about the losses of our forces."
"Thirty people from my Xue family have gone missing in the past half a month. Most of them are at the Harmonious God Realm."
"In the past half a month, twelve people from the Nalan Clan have gone missing. Most of them are at the Harmonious Spirit Realm."
"Thirty-six people from the Ice Dragon Sect have gone missing in the past half a month. Most of them are at the Harmonious Spirit Realm."
"Thirty-four people from the Black Thunder Sect have gone missing in the past half a month. Most of them are at the Harmonious Spirit Realm."
"Ten people from the Lunar Exploration Association have gone missing. Three are at the Half Law Realm and seven are at the Harmonious Spirit Realm. The losses of the branch are not included."
When Mu Yun heard about the losses of the other forces, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. The Lunar Exploration Association had suffered the most. Including the Half Law Realm of the branch, they had probably lost seven to eight Half Law Realm cultivators!
Even a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator would find it hard to fight against a Half Law Realm cultivator. Not to mention, they had lost so many people. Just the number of Half Law Realm cultivators they had lost was more than double that of the other forces.
Huo Fa didn't say anything, but the others could see that the Huo Clan had suffered the most losses. However, the Nalan Clan had only lost a few people, which made everyone confused.
"Nalan Jue, what's the situation with your Nalan Clan? Why are there so few people lost? Is there any way to avoid it? "Xue Wu asked curiously.
Nalan Jue smiled bitterly and said, "There's no way to avoid it. We just made everyone in the Nalan Clan stay in the house. There's a formation protecting the clan, so no demonic servants came to kill us. The twelve people we lost were all people who had to go out to do things."
"Who would have thought that the demonic servant seemed to be waiting outside our Nalan family. It waited there and killed twelve of our Nalan family members!"
The others were speechless. Although the Nalan Clan had only lost a few people, the losses in the outside world were probably huge. In comparison, the losses were very heavy.
"We must find the demonic servants! Many rogue cultivators have been killed in the past three days. Most of them were at the Half Law Realm. If this continues, I'm afraid our Forest Bird Region will be completely emptied! "Black Thunder Sect's sect master frowned.
"Indeed, if this matter is not resolved, the prestige of our forces will be greatly reduced!" Ice Dragon Sect's sect master said in a deep voice.
"The key is that we can't find those demonic servants! Those demonic servants immediately ran away after killing people. Our Huo Clan's Law Realm cultivators have been monitoring day and night, but we haven't found a single one. "Huo Fa sighed.
When Yang Li heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Yang Li. Huo Fa said with a gloomy expression, "Yang Li, what do you mean?!"
Yang Li held back his laughter and waved his hand, saying, "Nothing, nothing. I just thought of something funny."
Huo Fa's expression immediately turned even uglier. Even the leaders of the other factions had ugly expressions on their faces. They looked at Mu Yun with questioning eyes.
"Mu Yun, what do you mean by bringing this kid here?" Xue Wu looked at Mu Yun with an unfriendly expression.
Among the major forces present, other than the Lunar Exploration Association who didn't join them in the crusade against the Tenlan Sect, they even helped Yang Li by bringing the Su Clan.
This time, Mu Yun brought Yang Li to such an occasion, which made them very unhappy. Seeing that Yang Li wanted to fight for the other party's treasure, and now Yang Li dared to speak out, it made them feel extremely uncomfortable!
Nalan Jue and the others echoed and asked why Mu Yun brought Yang Li here.
When Mu Yun saw this situation, he knew that it was time to reveal the truth. Otherwise, the major forces would end up attacking Yang Li. He smiled and said, "I naturally have my reasons for bringing Yang Li here. I originally planned to talk about it later, but looking at your current situation, it's fine to talk about it now."
"Before this, there is something that you already know. Huo Yu of the Huo Clan went to Dusty Wind City a few days ago. Just as he arrived, something happened in Dusty Wind City. It just so happened that Yang Li passed by Dusty Wind City on his way back from the Middle Region. He specially killed the Demon Servant and at the same time, discovered the identity of the Demon Servant."
Mu Yun stopped speaking after saying that. Instead, he looked at the others with a smile. The few of them were immediately shocked. Mu Yun was obviously saying that the Demon Servant was Huo Yu. Otherwise, why would something happen to Huo Yu as soon as he arrived?
Furthermore, Huo Yu had yet to return, but Mu Yun said that the Demon Servant had been killed by Yang Li. If the Demon Servant was really Huo Yu, then there was an explanation for why he didn't return.
However, they naturally didn't dare to come to a conclusion on this matter. The few of them looked at Yang Li and said, "Yang Li, is this true?"
Yang Li's eyes immediately turned serious. Although the major forces had once besieged the Tenlan Sect to attack him, the Demon Servant was a major matter that concerned the Southern Region. He naturally wouldn't lose his priorities. He said, "It's not false at all! If what I, Yang Li, say is false, may the heavens strike me with five lightning bolts! "
The few of them immediately looked at Huo Fa and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Huo, what do you think?"
Originally, Huo Fa had a bad feeling when he heard Mu Yun's words. Now that he heard the others' questions, his mind quickly turned. He didn't believe that Huo Yu was a Demon Servant no matter what.
"Huo Yu can't be a Demon Servant! Otherwise, how could I not have discovered him! He has been following me all this time. A few days ago, he told me that he wanted to visit a friend in Dusty Wind City. His cultivation had also reached the first level of the Dharma Realm. Only then did I feel relieved and let him go! "Huo Fa explained.
However, Yang Li smiled and said, "Huo Fa, everyone knows my talent. Even I only managed to reach the seventh level of the Half-Dharma Realm in a little more than a year. Huo Yu went from the ninth level of the Harmonious Spirit Realm to the first level of the Dharma Realm in a little more than a year. Isn't this a little too unbelievable?!"
Huo Fa's face immediately turned ugly. He said coldly, "Ever since he returned from the battle with you, Yu 'er has been in seclusion every day. Occasionally, he would go out. He only came out when we found a suitable secret realm for him."
"So what if his cultivation increased a little faster? With the help of my Huo Clan and Yu 'er's talent, is it really that unbelievable for him to reach the first level of the Dharma Realm in a little more than a year?! "
Originally, the others had already accepted Yang Li's words. After all, Huo Yu's cultivation increase was too illogical. However, after hearing Huo Fa's words, their minds were shaken again. Huo Fa's next words made everyone's spearhead turn to Yang Li!
"As for you, Yang Li, everyone knows that you have enmity with all of the powers in the Southern Domain. Your enmity with my Huo Clan is even deeper. Furthermore, you've known Huo Yu for a long time, and you've even saved his life. Logically speaking, you should be Huo Yu's friend."
"Then can I put it this way? The friend that Huo Yu went to visit is you. However, you are a Demon Servant. After killing Huo Yu, you devoured the people in Dusty Wind City and framed my Huo Clan. "Huo Fa's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Moreover, our Huo Clan's losses are the worst in the entire Birdy Forest Region!"
This possibility became more and more likely in his heart. Even the others looked at Yang Li with an extremely dangerous gaze. The hostility in their eyes became more and more obvious.
"According to what you said, it is really possible that Yang Li is the culprit. The Nalan Clan and Yang Li's hatred is not shallow. Squatting in front of the Nalan Clan's door is also something that Yang Li would do!" Nalan Jue's eyes also became dangerous, and the spiritual power around his body began to fluctuate.
Mu Yun secretly said in his heart, "Oh no, I forgot about this!"
Yang Li had previously offended more than half of the major forces in the Southern Territory. In the eyes of the major forces, they were the ones who suffered the most. It was reasonable for Yang Li to target them. The situation suddenly became very unfavorable for Yang Li.
"Yang Li, can you give us an explanation?" Xue Wu's eyes slightly narrowed, and a cold light burst out from his eyes. His voice also became biting cold.
Everyone originally thought that Yang Li would panic, but who knew that Yang Li would only lightly smile and say, "Explanation? You want me to explain to you just because you want an explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?! "
"Do you have the qualifications for me to explain?!" Yang Li's expression gradually became cold, and he even roared out his last sentence, causing everyone present to be stunned.
