My Demon Queen

Chapter 262 Grievance

"Please, Lord Bai, for the Phoenix Clan and our Demon Clan, find out the murderer and give justice to the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan."

The Dragon Clan leader looked serious, he knew in his heart that dragging it out would only cause more complications.

In his opinion, even if we put aside his noble status, the young Holy Lord in front of him still has something commendable about him.

The patriarch of the Qilin clan was also very sharp-minded. He saw through the dragon clan's intentions at a glance.

At this moment, the dragon clan is putting pressure on Bai Feiyu in the name of the entire demon clan, asking him to find the murderer. This seemingly fair request is actually a disguised way of asking Bai Feiyu to bear this heavy responsibility.

Bai Feiyu's steps suddenly stopped, and he instantly understood the twists and turns.

At this moment, he only felt a dull pain in his head, and the thorny question - where should he look for the murderer - was entangled in his mind like a tangled mess.

He put one hand behind his back, hunched his body slightly, and stared at the desk in front of him where he usually handled files.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes revealed deep thought, and countless thoughts seemed to be spinning rapidly in his mind.

The two demon clan leaders stood quietly aside, without any impatience on their faces. They were patiently waiting for Bai Feiyu's answer, as if this was a silent contest, and Bai Feiyu's answer would determine the direction of the situation.

Time passed slowly in silence. After a moment, Bai Feiyu's mind flashed like lightning, and the figure of the ordinary boy whom he accidentally saw in the blazing fire last night suddenly emerged.

Bai Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and began to carefully recall every detail about the young man.

The boy's appearance, expression, and behavior all appeared in his mind one by one.

He secretly thought that perhaps he could cleverly use this young man to solve the current dilemma.

Bai Feiyu frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed softly.

In this complicated and difficult situation, it seems that this is the only feasible solution, but it will inevitably hurt the innocent ordinary boy.

He calmed himself, turned around, looked firmly at the two clan leaders of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, clasped his hands together, and said in a steady voice: "Please rest assured, two clan leaders, after the gathering of heroes is over, the Holy Land of Martial Arts will hand over the murderer and give a satisfactory explanation to the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan." His eyes revealed a complex emotion.

The two clan leaders looked at each other with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes.

The Dragon Clan leader spoke first: "Saint Lord Bai, this is no small matter. We, the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, are all waiting for the result. Since you have made a promise, you cannot break it, otherwise the reputation of the Holy Land of Martial Arts will be in jeopardy." There was a hint of threat in his words.

The Qilin tribe leader also nodded slightly and added: "That's right, Lord Bai, we hope you can find the real culprit as soon as possible, and don't use some insignificant people to perfunctory us."

Bai Feiyu's expression remained unchanged. He clasped his fists again and said solemnly: "Two clan leaders, I will naturally do my best to protect the reputation of the Wulin Holy Land. Since I have promised, I will definitely do it. I will investigate carefully and will not wrongly accuse a good person, but I will never let a murderer go."

The two clan leaders looked at each other and nodded.

The Dragon Clan leader folded his hands in front of his chest and snorted coldly, "Saint Lord Bai, this matter concerns the dignity and justice of the Monster Clan and the Phoenix Clan, and there is no room for jokes. You are boasting now, but if you can't do it when the time comes, the Wulin Holy Land will not be able to hold its head up in front of the other clans."

The Qilin tribe leader gently stroked his beard and said slowly: "Saint Lord Bai, we will give you a chance. We hope you can really do as you said and investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't try to get away with some tricks. The eyes of all tribes are watching you."

After saying that, the two clan leaders shook their sleeves and strode away. Their backs were filled with unquestionable majesty, and every step seemed to step on Bai Feiyu's heartstrings.

After the two clan leaders left, Bai Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief. The response just now made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

He slowly walked to the window and looked at the two clan leaders' receding backs, his eyes full of complexity.

He knew that although he had just made a promise, the road ahead was full of difficulties.

He closed his eyes slightly, thinking about the follow-up plan in his mind.

The innocent boy had now become the key to his plan, but he felt reluctant at the thought of involving the boy in this dispute.

But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and move on, just for Mo Ruxue.

Bai Feiyu looked out the window, towards the direction of the courtyard, sighed helplessly, and then summoned a disciple to find the person who was at the fire last night based on the mark he left behind.

The scene returns to Ye An.

"Wife, I have little education, please don't lie to me."

Ye An opened his eyes wide and stared at Mo Qingcheng, his face full of disbelief and his eyes full of suspicion.

Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ye An's appearance, and shook her head slightly.

Then, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped Ye An's forehead.

"Have you forgotten? Even when my strength was less than one tenth of what it was before, I was still in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Those guys from the Phoenix Clan are nothing more than a group of colorful birds."

Mo Qingcheng's words were full of arrogance, as if in her eyes, the Phoenix Clan was not worth mentioning at all, and strong self-confidence emanated from every pore of her body.

However, Ye An still looked at Mo Qingcheng with suspicion. In his heart, he always felt that Mo Qingcheng was deceiving him.

He really couldn't understand how it was possible that a demon queen whose spiritual power was almost exhausted could easily destroy the Phoenix Clan? There must be some hidden reason behind this.

Although Ye An had doubts, he couldn't find any evidence to refute Mo Qingcheng's words.

Mo Qingcheng stared quietly at Ye An's frowning brows. She knew in her heart that Ye An would definitely not easily believe what she said.

But it doesn't matter, it's better to delay a little longer. Deep down, she was actually looking forward to seeing Ye An's jaw dropping when he saw Mo Ruxue and Xiao Rou.

At this moment, Mo Qingcheng was like a young girl who had just fallen in love. Especially after spending a long time with Ye An, she also picked up some of Ye An's mischief and bad taste.

At this moment, a strange light suddenly flashed in the distant sky. The light seemed to contain a mysterious power. Mo Qingcheng's attention was instantly attracted to it, and Ye An also looked over in the direction of her gaze, his heart full of doubts.

"Master Ye An, the disciples of the Wulin Holy Land want to see you."
