Chapter 2916

However, the ferocious glint in her eyes disappeared in a flash. Ji Man did not dare to kill the Saint Beast even though she was confident!

Because she wasn't confident and didn't dare to kill all the elders in the ancestral shrine!

Moreover, she didn't dare to destroy the entire Houtu Stronghold's foundation!

"Is it wrong for me to avenge Liu 'er?

Houtu God … Why is she so unfair to me?? "Ji Man clenched her fists and murmured to herself as warmth gushed out from her eyes!

"Ji Man …" A gentle voice came from the palace door in the distance!

"Elder Wu?"

Ji Man sniffed and looked over, only to see a slightly dark and skinny young man walking over from there!

This young man looked very ordinary, but his eyes were extremely bright, like the twinkling stars of the morning.

Moreover, this young man walked slowly, step by step in the air. His figure was faintly discernible, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ji Man.

"Greetings, Elder Wu!"

Ji Man didn't dare to be negligent and bowed. Everyone in the ancestral shrine also bowed with Ji Man, and the respect in their eyes was even greater than when they saw Little Black.

"Woof woof, woof woof ~" Only Little Black continued to bark in the air, not afraid of this young man.

"Hehe ~" Elder Wu had a warm smile on his face as he reached out his hand and patted Little Black's head, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"

Then, Elder Wu pointed his finger, and a green light that was almost invisible to the naked eye appeared from his hand and landed on Xiao Hua's body. The dozens of dark green pythons immediately disappeared!

Immediately after, Old Wu made a grabbing motion with his hand, and the Soul Lock that bound Xiao Hua also broke free from Xiao Hua's body and landed in his hand. Finally, Old Wu frowned slightly, and with a flick of his right hand's middle finger, a ball of blood-red brilliance also flew out from Xiao Hua's head and dissipated in the air.

Xiao Hua completely regained his freedom. He stood up from the ground and respectfully said, "Junior Xiao Hua of the Imperial Thunder Sect greets senior!"

"Xiao Hua?

You're not Zhang Xiaohua? "

Old Wu also seemed to be surprised as he looked at Xiao Hei. At this moment, Xiao Hei was very happy. He had already landed on Xiao Hua's head and messed up Xiao Hua's hair.

"Junior's name might be Zhang Xiaohua, but junior's name is Xiao Hua now!" Xiao Hua looked at Elder Wu's gentle expression and didn't hide anything, carefully replying.

"Oh, I see!"

Nodding his head, Old Wu looked at Zi Ming, Fairy Hong Xia and the rest. Finally, he looked at Ji Man who had yet to get up and asked, "Ji Man, please get up. What's going on?"

"I beg Elder Wu to make the decision and seek justice for my dead Liu 'er!" Ji Man refused to get up and said in a sorrowful voice.

"Ah?

Zi Yan … What's wrong?

When did he return to Houtu Great God's embrace? "Elder Wu was also surprised, and he hurriedly asked.

"Of course it was Zi Ming's doing!" Ji Man said hatefully, "Otherwise, how could I tie her up and bring her to the ancestral hall?

How could I alarm the Sacred Beast? "

"Mm ~" Elder Wu nodded his head slightly, glancing at Zi Ming. He didn't instruct Ji Man to release Zi Ming and the rest, but asked indifferently, "Have you investigated?"

"Yes, I have investigated, and Zi Ming has admitted it himself!" Ji Man replied.

"I got it!

Please get up! "

Elder Wu's expression didn't change, "Tell me the whole story. Now that we are in the ancestral hall, I may not have the authority to punish others!

If Zi Ming really killed Zi Yan, I will give Zi Yan an explanation right here! "

"Yes, I thank Elder Wu!"

Hearing that, Ji Man hurriedly got up and repeated the whole story. Then, she pointed her finger downwards and said, "The Elders and guards were all present. I was afraid that there might be a mistake, so I brought them to the ancestral hall. If Elder Wu doesn't believe me, you can ask them!"

"Alright ~" Elder Wu nodded his head, looked at Xiao Hua and asked, "What Ji Man said, do you admit it?"

Xiao Hua smiled and shook his head, replying, "Although most of what Ji Man said is true, she got it wrong!

The one who set the trap is Zi Yan, not Zi Ming!

Furthermore, this Zi Yan is definitely not the Liu 'er that Ji Man spoke of, he is Liu' er who has been possessed by the Devil!

Zi Ming has solid evidence, Elder Wu only needs to take a look to know! "

"Ah?

Liu 'er has been possessed?

This … this is impossible! "Not only was Elder Wu stunned, even Ji Man turned pale with fright and denied it.

"Sigh, the Devil's methods are getting more and more brilliant!"

Elder Wu was clearly starting to believe Xiao Hua. With a sigh, he said to Ji Man, "Release Ziming, this old man will question him!"

Ji Man asked in disbelief, "Xiao Hua, if Zi Ming has solid evidence, then previously …"

At this point, Ji Man couldn't ask any further. She already understood that Zi Ming wouldn't give this evidence to her even if he had to risk his life. That was an extreme distrust of her!

Ji Man's face paled slightly, and she released Zi Ming, Fairy Hong Xia and the rest.

Zi Ming ignored Ji Man, bowing towards Elder Wu and said, "Boy greets Elder Wu!"

"It's been hard on you!" Elder Wu waved his hand and said, "Tell me everything that happened!"

"Yes!"

Zi Ming replied, and told Elder Wu everything that happened after he left the Back Earth Stronghold. He even told Elder Wu about Master Qin Qin's death. In the end, Zi Ming stretched out his hand, and his index finger cut across his calf like a knife. With a flash of blood, the soul artifact that contained the Devil's soul was taken out from his flesh, and he raised his hand to present it to Elder Wu.

Seeing this soul artifact, Ji Man's face turned even paler. She already understood that Zi Ming was telling the truth, Zi Yan was no longer Zi Yan, the one who killed Zi Yan was the Devil in this soul artifact, and Zi Ming … could even be said to have avenged Zi Yan.

"Ji Man, do you want to see it or me?" Elder Wu took the soul bead, and instructed Zi Ming to heal his wounds, then asked Ji Man.

"Elder Wu, please see!" Ji Man shook her head slightly, "This concubine wants to avoid suspicion!"

"Alright ~" Elder Wu didn't decline, and his starry eyes stared at the soul bead. A strand of green crystal came out from between his eyebrows and entered the soul bead.

Traces of blood-red seeped out from the Soul Orb and entered Venerable Wu's forehead through the crystal thread. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Venerable Wu finally retrieved the crystal thread and looked at Ji Man with a complicated expression.

"Was this concubine wrong?" Ji Man couldn't help but ask, "How many Devil's minions are there in the Back Earth Stronghold?"

"You were wrong!

But it's good that you didn't make a big mistake! "Elder Wu said lightly, and then his mouth moved a few times.

"Ah?" Ji Man heard, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Elder Wu's face was also gloomy. He threw the soul bead in his hand, and it landed in front of Blacky. Xiao Hua opened his mouth slightly, and with a "ha" sound, a white light came out of his mouth and sprinkled on the soul bead. A pitch-black shadow let out a mournful cry and was sucked into his stomach!

After Blacky ate the Devil's soul, he actually did the same thing as Goldie. He stretched his waist, and his blood-red tongue touched the corner of his mouth. Then, he laid on Xiao Hua's shoulder and seemed to be drowsy.

Xiao Hua looked at Blacky, and used his hand to stroke its smooth fur. He smiled and asked, "Elder Wu, this is this junior's Blacky. This junior wants to take it away!"

"Yes, although this is the sacred beast of our Back Earth Stronghold, it still came from the heavens!

From the day it asked this old man to look for you, this old man knew that it would leave the Back Earth Stronghold! "

Elder Wu nodded slightly, "Moreover, the sacred beast is a sacred beast because it was bestowed by the heavens. The sacred beast's whereabouts are arranged by the Great God. How can we, the people, decide for the sacred beast?"

"Many thanks, Elder Wu!" Xiao Hua smiled and temporarily placed Blacky in his arms.

"Farewell, sacred beast!"

Xiao Hua said casually, but the elders of the Back Earth Stronghold did not dare to be negligent. Everyone knelt on the ground again. "Thank you, Great God Houtu, for your grace!"

As if it heard everyone's kowtows, Blacky actually poked its little head out from Xiao Hua's arms. With a "ha" sound, it spat out a white light, and then shrank back.

"I've made you suffer!" Elder Wu looked at Fairy Hong Xia and the rest and said kindly.

Fairy Hong Xia and the rest hurriedly bowed, "This junior greets Elder Wu. This is nothing. As long as we can clear Miss Zi Ming's grievances, we are already satisfied!"

"Sigh, it's all because this old woman was too anxious and believed in slanderous words!" Ji Man also hurriedly said.

Fairy Hong Xia and the rest glanced at the calm Zi Ming and quickly bowed, "This matter is too much of a coincidence, and Ji Man is also concerned about her family. This junior can understand."

Ji Man looked at Zi Ming's expression, and her heart sank. She knew that the family she had accumulated for dozens of years had been poured down like a torrential flood in less than a day. Zi Ming's heart had already built a strong dam, and no matter how hard she tried, it would be impossible for her to reach the same level as before!

Sure enough, Zi Ming glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Boy knows that he is not good at expanding, but he is good at protecting what he has built. He has never put the safety of the people of Meng Mountains aside.

Furthermore, I don't care how others look at Boy. Boy only does what he thinks is right!

It doesn't matter if you understand or misunderstand. Once something has happened, then … we can never go back to how we were before! "

Elder Wu smiled, and an indescribable charm immediately appeared on his ordinary looking face. He pointed his finger and said, "Zi Ming is right, Ji Man is also right. Everything that happened before today … has turned into water. We can never go back to how we were before!

A mistake is a mistake, and no amount of compensation can change what has been done wrong. Since we can admit our mistakes and never make the same mistake again … that is the right thing to do!

How can we be completely right when we govern Wu Stockade?

As long as we have the people in our hearts, we can handle things impartially, and we have a clear conscience!

As for the mistakes that we can't go back to how we were before, let it be an eternal mistake. Let it be a lesson for us. Without the past, without the present, how can there be a future?

Only when there is rain can there be a rainbow. Only then can we know the beauty of Meng Mountains!

Houtu Stockade is one of the twelve Great Stockades of Meng Mountains. How could we have gone through such a simple storm?

If we, the descendants of the Great God Houtu, are defeated by such a trivial matter, hehe … wouldn't we become a joke to the original Daoist Xiao of the Country of Xi? "
