"Wow!"
Brother Pure was amused. He looked at Jiang Lanyan playfully and said, "You're a little girl with character. You're just to my liking."
"Brother, leave this girl to me. I promise I'll teach her a lesson."
"She's got guts. How dare she speak so arrogantly. It seems like she's ready to unleash her power. "
Qin Xiao had been looking at Jiang Lanyan up and down. He could not tell anything about her. She was no different from an ordinary person.
It was because of this that evil beings were difficult to detect.
They would only show their characteristics when they were about to unleash their power.
If they restrained their power, they were no different from ordinary people.
Moreover, even his thinking and speech were no different from ordinary people. Judging from this point alone, there was no way to judge.
Such a situation was truly strange.
If there were no good clues, it would not be easy to find these evil beings.
The magic of the Vast Thousand World really made people sigh from time to time.
It was really hard to imagine that there was such a strange power in the Vast Thousand World.
If Qin Xiao had not been sure that there was something wrong with Jiang Lanyan, he would not have been able to tell that this woman was an evil being.
Qin Xiao had been using his Divine Consciousness to scan Jiang Lanyan. However, he did not find any strange devouring power in her body.
This power was really well hidden. Even he had no way of detecting it.
"Yan 'er, don't be rash …"
Patriarch Jiang knew that Qin Xiao and Brother Pure were in the Ancient Saint Realm, so he knew how dangerous it was. Of course, he wanted to stop Jiang Lanyan.
However …
Obviously, his efforts to stop her did not work.
Jiang Lanyan was furious and unleashed her power.
A cloud of black gas gushed out from her body. Her eyes suddenly turned into two black holes, surging with a strange devouring power.
At this time, Jiang Lanyan had completely turned into a demon. She became eerie and terrifying as if she had transformed into a devil.
A cold and furious voice came out of her mouth: "Since you are courting death, then obediently become evil creatures. I will devour your souls and make you wish you were dead."
Following the roar, a monstrous and bizarre devouring power surged toward Brother Pure, intending to devour Brother Pure.
Brother Pure did not dodge at all. He allowed Jiang Lanyan's strange devouring power to engulf him.
Jiang Lanyan was a Fourth-step Celestial Venerable Realm cultivator. Her strength was not bad. She was much stronger than those cultivators that Qin Xiao and the others had encountered in the abandoned house in the west of the city.
Even though he had become a lot stronger, he was still far from enough to deal with Brother Pure.
He let Jiang Lanyan attack as if he was toying with her, but she still couldn't hurt him at all.
After playing enough, Brother Pure waved his hand and a powerful force gushed out and knocked Jiang Lanyan down to the ground.
Dozens of swords formed by Sword Qi nailed Jiang Lanyan to the ground, making it impossible for her to resist.
But at this time, Jiang Lanyan, who had been possessed by the Devil, became extremely crazy. She struggled violently and roared.
At this time, she was completely possessed by the Devil. She was no longer herself. She had lost everything and became extremely terrifying.
But no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape.
"Little girl, don't waste your strength. You can't break free."
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me with such strength? It's useless."
Brother Pure curled his lips and looked at Jiang Lanyan.
Jiang Lanyan was still roaring and struggling.
"Young hero, please stop. Stop! Please, don't do this. Don't hurt my Yan 'er. She is innocent. She is also a victim. "Patriarch Jiang hurriedly begged for mercy.
In the face of Jiang Family Head's pleas, Brother Pure completely ignored him.
Patriarch Jiang then looked at Qin Xiao. "Young hero, if you have something to say, we can talk it out. Please stop."
Qin Xiao said, "Patriarch Jiang, why are you so agitated? For the time being, your daughter is fine. We didn't do anything to her. "
Patriarch Jiang's expression became a little strange. He looked at Qin Xiao and did not know what to say for a while.
Qin Xiao looked at Patriarch Jiang and continued, "So, can you talk with me now? Can you tell me more about my daughter? "
"If you really don't want to tell me, then we can only do things according to our own way."
"No, no, no —"
Patriarch Jiang immediately begged for mercy. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while. Then he said, "Young hero, if I tell you everything, can you save my daughter?"
"My daughter is really innocent. She is really a victim. She really didn't want to become like this."
"She has always been a gentle and kind girl. She has never hurt anyone since she was a child. She has never killed anyone indiscriminately."
"But I didn't expect that she would suffer such an undeserved disaster."
"So, young hero, please find a way to save my daughter. I beg you."
Patriarch Jiang loved his daughter very much. However, Qin Xiao did not know who Jiang Lanyan was. It was easy to find out.
This was not the key point for the time being.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly and said, "Patriarch Jiang, don't worry. We won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"If my daughter can be saved, we will find a way."
"But don't put all your hopes on us. I won't make any promises."
"It's just that if it's something that can be done and doesn't go against justice, we'll do our best."
"You have to tell us everything about your daughter. You have to tell us everything in detail. Only in this way can we know how to help her. "
"If you still want to protect your daughter blindly, I'm afraid we can only offend you."
From Patriarch Jiang's series of actions, Qin Xiao could see that Patriarch Jiang was indeed a good father who loved his daughter very much.
He wanted to protect his daughter wholeheartedly.
To be honest, Qin Xiao could understand his feelings very well.
But understanding was one thing. There were some things that could not be done just because of understanding. One could not just turn a blind eye and indulge.
This was fair to Patriarch Jiang, but it was unfair to others.
Patriarch Jiang was still very hesitant. He looked deeply at Jiang Lanyan, who was in incomparable pain and madness at this time, for a long time before he gritted his teeth.
Given the current situation, he had no choice but to say it. He had to make this matter clear to everyone.
Therefore, Patriarch Jiang could only tell the situation to Qin Xiao in detail.
After listening to him, Qin Xiao understood how he came back. He also had some unexpected discoveries.
It turned out that Jiang Lanyan was the root cause of the evil creature incident in Lanxi City. Everything started because of her. She was the initiator.
This strange devouring power was spreading from her body.
Jiang Lanyan was a soul devourer.
Patriarch Jiang did not know why Jiang Lanyan became like this. He only said that after she came back from traveling, she became like this.
For the first time, he found that Jiang Lanyan attacked her maid and directly turned her maid into an evil creature.
Later, when Patriarch Jiang found out about it, he executed the servant girl.
But later, Jiang Yanlan still continued to devour others and turn them into evil creatures.
Moreover, Jiang Yanlan needed to absorb a large amount of corpse energy and evil spirit to cultivate. To improve her power, she could continue to devour others.
Although Patriarch Jiang found this situation, he loved his daughter very much. He tried many ways, but there was no way to control Jiang Lanyan, nor to control her.
Therefore, he could only lock her in a place and 'raise' Jiang Lanyan. From time to time, he would feed her some prisoners on death row for Jiang Lanyan to devour.
During this process, he did not control it well, and a few evil creatures ran out. So, several evil creature incidents happened in Lanxi City one after another.
In fact, all of this was caused by Miss Jiang Lanyan.
"Patriarch Jiang, you actually raised her and fed her with living people from time to time?" After listening to Patriarch Jiang's story, Qin Xiao was a little angry.
Such an act was really a little cruel.
Patriarch Jiang suddenly said with a face full of tears, "Young hero, I have no other way. I really have no other way."
"If I don't do this, my daughter will roar and shout, and she will rush out. Then, it will be more troublesome."
"So, I can only use this method to control her. I try my best to not let her go crazy and minimize the damage as much as possible."
"Young hero, you didn't kill innocent people. I only fed some prisoners on death row, and I only brought some corpses. "
"If I don't control it like this, I'm afraid the entire Lanxi City would have been in chaos, and there would have been countless casualties."
Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, "Although what you said is reasonable, such an act is still very cruel."
"To put it bluntly, it's for your own selfish reasons."
"When you know that your daughter has a problem, you should have killed her immediately. Only in this way can the problem be solved."
"Not only did you not kill her, but you also fed her. No matter how many reasons you have, it is not sufficient and unreasonable. "
Patriarch Jiang shook his head and said, "Young hero, I pity all parents. In this world, how can a father kill his own child? "
"How can I do such a thing?"
"I know my daughter has a problem, but she is also innocent. She is also a victim."
"As a father, how can I do such a thing to a victim?"
"All of her actions were out of her control. None of them came from her own will."
"She is also trying hard to control herself, and she is getting better at it. I have been encouraging her and guiding her to gradually reduce the amount of feeding. "
"Everything is already moving in the right direction."
"Young hero, if it were you, would you be so vicious to kill your own daughter?"
Huh?
Qin Xiao could not help but frown deeply.
Thinking about it, this question seemed to be a little profound.
Yes, the hearts of parents in the world were pitiful. In fact, Qin Xiao could understand this point very well.
Perhaps if it were him, he might not be able to do such a thing.
Humans were all selfish and valued their relationships.
Selfishness cannot be said to be a heinous crime. It should not be.
Selfishness is a normal behavior.
It is human nature for Patriarch Jiang to be so protective of his daughter.
Moreover, Jiang Lanyan was indeed a victim.
The evil creature was not like the people of the Bloodbath Alliance. The people of the Bloodbath Alliance were free to be loyal, but this was different.
The evil creature was infected.
It was involuntary.
