"Believe you? Do you want me to listen to your lies? "
Someone sneered. This group of youths had a sharp aura around them, and they could be considered to have some success in their cultivation.
The bull demon twisted its body and said weakly, "It really wasn't me. Miss Gao Yue and I are in love with each other. How could I harm her father? Let me go. Aren't you letting the real murderer roam free by capturing me like this?"
"Haha, in love with each other?"
One of the youths said with a cold face, "You're clearly lusting after Miss Gao Yue's beauty and plotted to win her back. But because Master Gao refused, you became angry and wanted to kill him to vent your anger!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Everyone's faces showed understanding, and they looked at the bull demon with eyes full of disdain.
"I see. I didn't expect Master Gao to be harmed by a demon in the end. Sigh, what a pity!"
"The Gao family has raised this bull for decades. This demon is so cruel. It's simply an animal!"
"You can't judge a book by its cover. This bull even plowed my family's land. I thought it was a good demon, but I didn't expect …"
"I pity the young lady of the Gao family …"
Everyone discussed animatedly as they pointed at the bull demon.
Li Nianfan asked curiously and got a general idea of the matter.
It turned out that this bull had been plowing the land for the Gao family. Originally, everyone thought it was just an ordinary bull and praised it for its diligence.
However, as time passed, everyone gradually discovered that this bull was unusual. For decades, it didn't seem to have aged, and from time to time, it showed extraordinary qualities. Not only was it diligent in plowing the land, but it also protected the zhuang family from the surrounding wild beasts. Only then did everyone know that this bull was actually a demon.
Although they were surprised, they could accept it. After all, they were familiar with it after such a long time. They regarded it as a good demon and treated it with respect. This was not unusual in the cultivation world.
However, three years ago, there was a change because … this bull demon fell in love with Miss Gao.
In the eyes of mortals, a love between a human and a demon was definitely a taboo and would be despised by the world.
I treated you like an old bull, but you plowed the land to my daughter?
This was a huge blow to Old Master Gao. It was like a bolt from the blue.
Therefore, no matter how sincere the bull demon was, and how bitterly Gao Yue begged, Master Gao did not relent at all. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't beat the bull demon, he would definitely eat the beef.
Last night, Li Nianfan had even encountered Black Bai Wuchang escorting Old Master Gao's ghost back to the underworld. He had died completely, and it was not strange that his death would be suspected of being related to the ox demon.
Looking at the reactions of the people around, Li Nianfan couldn't help but sigh. Humans and demons were different. This was a deep-rooted concept. Although the bull demon usually performed well, once something happened, it would be the first to be suspected and rejected.
At that moment, a few more people walked out of the Gao Family's courtyard. One of them was a girl who looked to be in her late twenties. She was in her prime and wore a light-colored silk dress. It was obvious that she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
She stared at the bull demon with reddened eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she asked in grief, "Why did you want to kill my father?"
The bull demon looked at Gao Yue and suddenly said emotionally, "Yue 'er, I swear, your father was definitely not killed by me! I've said it before, the ancestor of the Gao Family was kind to me. I'm here to repay his kindness. If Old Master Gao was in trouble, I would protect him with my life. How could I kill him? Believe me! "
Li Nianfan looked at the girl and the bull and could feel the entanglement of love and hate between them.
This Old Gao Village was indeed a strange place. If it wasn't a human and a pig, then it was a human and a bull. It was simply a good place to put on a bitter show.
"Hey, how dare you, demon, still dare to quibble!"
Beside Gao Yue stood a tall young man. He wore a white robe and had a jade-like face. He looked like an elegant young master.
He said with certainty, "Old Master Gao's body was obviously pierced by the bull's horn. Other than you, who else could it be?"
The bull demon exclaimed, "That's impossible!"
The young man smiled coldly and waved his hand, "Bring out Old Master Gao's body and convince this demon!"
Immediately, four people walked out with a stretcher. On the stretcher was naturally Lord Gao's corpse. On the chest of the corpse, there was a terrifying hole that pierced straight through. Fresh blood flowed out, causing people's hearts to tremble.
Looking at Old Master Gao, Gao Yue immediately began to cry again. On the side, the elegant young man sighed and hurriedly comforted her. He also glared at the bull demon angrily.
Old Master Gao's wound was very big and showed signs of enlarging. It was obvious that he was not killed by a sharp weapon. It was indeed consistent with the bull's horn.
The bull demon raised its head and looked at Old Master Gao's body. Tears rolled down its eyes and it felt sad. It said with a buzzing sound, "I didn't kill Old Master Gao. Yue 'er, you have to believe me!"
Gao Yue shook her head, "How can I believe you?"
"Yue 'er, a demon is a demon. How can it be human? Now that the evidence is conclusive, it naturally can't deny it! "
The young man shouted coldly and immediately said, "Do it, kill this ungrateful bull demon!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as his voice fell, the flying sword appeared again, making a sharp whistling sound. It showed its sharpness and stabbed straight at the bull demon's head!
It was natural and unrestrained, showing the strength of a cultivator.
A trace of pity flashed in Gao Yue's eyes. She opened her mouth but hesitated.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the crowd, "Stop."
However, the flying sword did not stop and completely turned a deaf ear. It was about to pierce through the bull demon's head.
At the critical moment, a small hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped the hilt of the flying sword. There was only a buzzing sound, but it could not break free at all.
Nanna played with the flying sword in her hand and snorted coldly, "My brother told you to stop. Didn't you hear him?"
The elegant young man frowned suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Who are you? Could it be that you are this demon's accomplice? "
The young man who was controlling the flying sword said anxiously, "Put down my flying sword!"
"Who I am is none of your business." Nanna raised her hand and waved, and the flying sword was immediately thrown at the man's feet like a piece of scrap iron.
The man picked up the flying sword, and his eyes immediately showed a pained expression, "You dare to do this to my magic weapon?"
A cold light flashed in Nanna's eyes, and she said coldly, "Humph! You dare to ignore my brother's words, I'm already being polite by not killing you! "
In her heart, Li Nianfan was the sky and everything. Whatever her brother said, whether it was to her or to others, she had to abide by it!
Just now, Li Nianfan told him to stop, but this person actually turned a deaf ear to it. This made Nanna's heart very unhappy, extremely unhappy. If Li Nianfan had not told her not to kill the innocent, she would have killed him long ago!
Except for Li Nianfan, everything else was nothing in Nanna's eyes!
The man was shocked by Nanna's imposing manner, and couldn't help but take a small step back, and said in a trembling voice, "Demon … demon girl!"
Nanna retorted on the spot, "You are the demon girl, your whole family are demon girls!"
The elegant young man's eyes flashed, and he frowned, "I wonder what this fellow cultivator means?"
He was not a brainless person. Nanna was able to casually catch the flying sword magic weapon just now, so her strength was naturally much higher than that person's. At the very least, she was a Gold Core cultivator!
Moreover, Nanna was so young and had such a high cultivation. Her background was probably not ordinary, so it was best to avoid conflict as much as possible.
"I was the one who told you to stop."
Li Nianfan slowly walked out of the crowd, smiled and cupped his hands, "I am Li Nianfan, greetings to everyone."
The ox demon looked at Li Nianfan and Nanna with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He didn't expect that someone would save him. He immediately said gratefully, "Thank you for your help. I really didn't kill Master Gao."
The elegant young man said, "Can you tell me a reason?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. The person was not killed by the ox demon!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Gao Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up. She stared at Li Nianfan and asked, "Young master, please explain. Gao Yue is very grateful."
Li Nianfan shook his head, "Because the wound was not caused by the ox demon's horn."
"Ridiculous." Someone immediately stood up and questioned, "If this wound was not caused by the ox's horn, what other sharp weapon could it be?"
"It's indeed an ox's horn, but it's not the ox demon's horn." Li Nianfan smiled and continued, "If I'm not wrong, this wound was caused by a cow's horn! But the ox demon is a bull, so it's naturally different. "
Suddenly, everyone was stunned and pondered. They didn't expect there to be such a thing.
Li Nianfan picked up the ox demon's horn that had been cut off on the ground and looked at it in his hand for a moment. He said, "Look, the bull's horn is in the shape of a scimitar. If it was pierced by this kind of horn, it would not be as simple as a hole. At least it would be torn on both sides. The cow's horn is straight, which is why it caused the wound on Master Gao's body."
The scene fell into silence. Everyone was stunned, but when they thought about it carefully, it made some sense.
It had to be said that the autopsy in the Immortal Cultivation World was too backward. They didn't even know the difference between wounds. Often, subtle differences were crucial.
The elegant young man was also stunned. He couldn't help but look at the young man beside him and said, "What's going on? I asked you to get an ox's horn, and this is what you did? "
The young man was also very innocent. He said bitterly, "Young master, I didn't want to. I really didn't expect that the ox's horn was divided into male and female!"
