"What else is there to say? We'll just have to play along with his act."
"Yes, young lady, we are all innocent."
Compared to their own lives, loyalty is utterly insignificant.
Besides, someone like Jin Renfeng doesn't have the personal charisma to inspire people to be loyal to him to the death.
Dongfang Huaizhu coldly looked at the guards, but her hand holding the Pure Yang Flame clenched slightly.
"Tell me everything Jin Renfeng has done behind my back. Don't test my patience here."
Upon hearing this, the group of guards looked at each other, and finally one of them, unable to withstand the pressure, shouted loudly.
"Young Miss, ask Zhang Wu. We all have to obey Zhang Wu's orders here. He knows more than we do!"
"Exactly, exactly! Miss, you should ask about this guy!"
"You bastards, what nonsense are you talking about, Miss? I..."
These guards instantly turned against him. One of them tried to struggle, but before he could react, he was subdued by a group of people and pinned down in front of Dongfang Huaizhu.
"Tell me, what else did Jin Renfeng do!"
Facing the pure Yang Flame so close at hand, feeling the burning pain emanating from my skin.
Jin Renfeng's confidant was terrified and hurriedly said in a fearful and trembling manner.
"I said, I said!"
"Senior Brother, no, Jin Renfeng also used various methods to drive out the old people in the manor. All the guards who came in later were recruited by him."
"Not only that, Jin Renfeng even tampered with the medicine given to the manor lord."
Faced with Dongfang Huaizhu's gloomy expression, in order to save his life, the guard revealed everything he knew about Jin Renfeng.
There are some things, although he doesn't know them in great detail.
But it doesn't matter anymore; at least Dongfang Huaizhu has figured out what she wanted to know most.
When Tu Shan Ya Ya talked about the blood exchange technique before, she had a horrifying thought in her mind.
Because the blood transfusion technique is such an obscure and uncommon technique.
The blood-changing secret technique of the Hirudo clan is renowned far and wide, and everyone in the entire circle knows about it.
But its primary function is still to heal wounds.
For example, after poisoning, a large-scale blood transfusion may be performed.
But Jin Renfeng is perfectly fine, so why would he need something like this?
The only thing Dongfang Huaizhu could think of was the issue of her own bloodline.
Shenhuo Mountain Manor, an Eastern family, possesses the Pure Yang Flame, which commands great respect within the industry.
There was a time when many people coveted the Pure Yang Flame and wanted to know how it was cultivated.
However, there is a prerequisite for cultivating Pure Yang Flame.
That is the bloodline of the Dongfang family.
Those without the bloodline of the Dongfang family absolutely cannot cultivate this skill.
Even Jin Renfeng was one of those who joined the Divine Fire Mountain Manor.
Her father, Dongfang Guyue, spent a great deal of effort and energy to specially improve his cultivation technique, enabling him to borrow and manipulate the Pure Yang Flame.
Combining what she had just learned from the guard, Dongfang Huaizhu felt a chill in her heart.
Perhaps Jin Renfeng had already been plotting something ever since he joined Shenhuo Mountain Villa.
Over the years, he has meticulously taken over the affairs of Shenhuoshan Manor little by little, then cleared out the old people in the manor and replaced them all with people he had recruited.
Then, taking advantage of his father's illness, he secretly changed the medicine he was taking, causing his father's condition to worsen. It is even possible that the initial illness was caused by Jin Renfeng.
Once his father was seriously ill and bedridden with no ability to resist, Jin Renfeng obtained the blood-changing technique through the leech demon.
That way, she could sacrifice her father and allow Jin Renfeng to fully possess the bloodline of the Dongfang family!
The moment this chilling conjecture was uttered, it plunged Dongfang Huaizhu into a state of icy coldness from head to toe, down to the last strand of hair. It was as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and even her soul felt a deep chill.
"brute!"
"Jin Renfeng, that heartless, treacherous beast who betrayed his master and ancestors!"
This sudden turn of events, with its immense impact, even brought tears to the eyes of the gentle Dongfang Huaizhu. The pure Yang Flame in her hand instantly surged and enveloped Zhang Wu in front of her.
"what!!!!"
A series of pitiful wails immediately followed.
A man on fire stumbled to his feet amidst the terrified screams of the crowd and staggered away.
"elder sister."
At this moment, Dongfang Qinlan was still a little confused. Seeing her sister in this state, she immediately took her hand with concern and called out to her sister anxiously.
Tu Shan Ya Ya watched the two sisters suspiciously from the side, especially noticing the barely concealed murderous intent on Dongfang Huai Zhu's face, and sensed that something was wrong.
She quietly approached Lin Yu and whispered.
"Something seems off about them."
"It's obvious that someone is stirring up trouble behind their backs at Shenhuo Mountain Manor, plotting to seize power, and even trying to kill their father."
Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes widened immediately, her face practically screaming gossip.
This is no small matter.
That's Shenhuo Mountain Manor, one of the only two major powers among the human race.
With such a major incident, not only the Dao Alliance, but even other demon kingdoms will likely pay close attention.
"The one who wanted to deceive Xiao Tan and kill their father, was that Senior Brother Jin Renfeng?"
"Yes, that should be it. When I was out adventuring before, I heard that the old master of Shenhuo Mountain Manor hadn't been out in the world for a long time. He had left everything to his eldest disciple to manage, and even the affairs of the Dao Alliance were the same."
Lin Yu spoke half-truthfully, telling Tu Shan Ya Ya what he knew.
"Tsk tsk tsk, there really aren't any good people among humans. They can even do something like killing their own master."
Tu Shan Ya Ya said disdainfully, and then she saw Lin Yu roll his eyes at her.
"I understand, I understand. I didn't mean what you meant. I excluded you."
"So, in your eyes, I'm not a human being?"
"Hey, no, that's not what I meant. Why do you always get so hung up on things?"
The atmosphere was somber and heavy over there, while Tu Shan Ya Ya and Cui Yu Xiao Tan were just two bystanders watching the drama unfold.
One of them would occasionally grab the wine jug and take a couple of sips, while the other pulled out some pine nuts from somewhere, probably having picked them from the tree while waiting for A-Yu.
He gave some to Tu Shan Ya Ya and asked Lin Yu if he wanted some too.
The two of them squatted down beside it and watched with great interest.
The pitiful wails didn't last long before they stopped, and the remaining guards stared in horror at Dongfang Huaizhu, who was completely different from the person they remembered.
Gazing at the corpses on the ground not far away, Dongfang Huaizhu fell into a long silence, though her slightly trembling hands could not conceal the anger in her heart.
This was his first time killing someone, and it was his own bodyguard.
Deep down, she was even more shocked to learn about Jin Renfeng's actions.
All of these things combined left Dongfang Huaizhu's mind completely blank.
It took quite some time before he regained his composure.
She turned her head and glanced at Dongfang Qinlan beside her. The little girl's eyes were also red, and she was looking at her with great concern.
Dongfang Huaizhu reached out and gently touched her head, feeling an inexplicable heavy pressure and a responsibility she had never felt before.
After organizing her thoughts, she took a step forward and approached Lin Yu.
"Feel sorry."
"I made you laugh."
"I understand the general situation. I'm truly sorry about the Pure Yang Flame."
"If it weren't for today, I might still be in the dark about these things, but don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Tu Shan Ya Ya put the wine pot back in, pursed her lips, and stood up.
"Don't make it sound so good. Who knows if you're just acting? I've seen plenty of hypocrisy from you humans."
"If we didn't do it, we didn't do it. Is it necessary to lie about something like this?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qinlan became somewhat agitated.
"Tch, what evidence can you possibly provide?"
Aside from Lin Yu, Tu Shan Ya Ya still didn't quite trust humans.
Although the two sisters seemed to be in a pretty bad situation, and she had just learned some things, what did that have to do with her?
The relationship between Tushan and the Dao Alliance is not good, not to mention that this little girl doesn't get along with him.
