So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Lei Tingyi's expression was stern. He was fully aware of the crisis at the moment, and without hesitation threw out a ball of thunder in an attempt to defeat the scarlet magic circle.

However, the next moment, the ball of thunder was like a drop in the ocean, swallowed up by the magic circle without a trace, and not even a ripple was caused.

Seeing that everyone was helpless, a rapid and shrill roar suddenly sounded outside the cave.

The voice was like a call from ancient times, carrying endless majesty and power.

In a moment, the cave was ablaze with red flames, as if the entire space was filled with flames.

Just as everyone was astonished, a huge demon phoenix flew over their heads, and the storm brought by its wings made it almost impossible for everyone to stand.

There was a flash of anger and sadness in the eyes of the demon phoenix. It rushed directly towards the magic circle set up by Chang Qing and used its powerful strength to break the evil shackles.

There was another roar, and the Demon Phoenix's innate sea of ​​fire instantly swallowed Chang Qing.

In the sea of ​​fire, Chang Qing's figure gradually became blurred and finally turned into ashes.

People died, battles were destroyed, and all the evil forces disappeared without a trace at that moment.

The magic phoenix protected the four cubs tightly under its wings, with endless tenderness and love in its eyes.

It seemed to know that it was these three humans who helped it and its children.

Therefore, before leaving, it turned back and took a deep look at Lei Tingyi, Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan.

Then, the demon phoenix opened its huge mouth and spat out three mouthfuls of blood and three fiery red feathers.

These three mouthfuls of blood and three feathers contain its powerful strength and the essence of life, and are its precious gifts of thanks to the three people.

The essence blood and feathers fell gently into the hands of the three people, and they felt a warm and powerful force.

After completing all this, the magic phoenix did not stay any longer. It spread its wings and flew high with its children, disappearing into the depths of the cave.

All that was left were three mouthfuls of blood and three fiery red feathers.

After the Demon Phoenix left, the cave fell into silence.

Lei Tingyi glanced at Ling Jiuan, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, with some emotion in his voice.

"You now have one of the materials. The blood and feathers of this demon phoenix are rare treasures."

Ling Jiuan smiled upon hearing this, and her smile contained a hint of humility and gratitude.

"It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leave this cave alive. Not to mention getting these precious materials."

Lei Tingyi shook his head upon hearing this.

Only Chen Yan hung his head in despair, as if he was in deep self-blame.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan couldn't help but feel a little worried, and she asked softly.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed?"

Chen Yan sighed, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"I thought I was upholding justice, but who knew... I was almost used by the evil. I was too naive and didn't see Chang Qing's true face."

Ling Jiuan smiled upon hearing this, and there was some understanding and comfort in her smile.

"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that he was the biggest villain? We were all deceived by his apparent justice. But now Chang Qing has been executed, and his evil deeds have received the due punishment. Don't let him cause you to have a demon in your heart!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan raised his head and looked at Ling Jiuan, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that he was almost trapped by his inner demons, but Ling Jiuan's comfort made him regain his confidence.

He nodded, his voice firm.

"You are right. I cannot punish myself for Chang Qing's mistakes. I will continue on my path, uphold justice and protect the innocent."

The three of them returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Juling City and told Chang Qing's story in detail.

However, the city lord Sikong Wen did not believe them at first.

After all, Chang Qing is an old man in the City Lord's Mansion and has always been loyal. How could he do something to betray the City Lord's Mansion?

Faced with Sikong Wen's questioning, Lei Tingyi did not get angry.

He had anticipated this and therefore prepared the image stone in advance.

He slowly took out the statue stone from his arms and handed it to Sikong Wen.

"Lord City Lord, I know it's hard for you to accept this fact for the time being. But please take a look at this image stone, which records all of Chang Qing's evil deeds."

Sikong Wen took the Huixiang Stone and injected spiritual power into it with some hesitation.

The next moment, the light flickered on the image stone, and pictures appeared before his eyes.

He saw Chang Qing colluding with those evil forces, saw him brutally killing innocent lives, and also saw his conspiracy to use the four magic phoenix cubs to enhance his own strength.

Looking at these scenes, Sikong Wen's expression became more and more solemn.

He finally realized that the subordinate he had always trusted was such an evil person.

He took a deep breath and returned the Image Stone to Lei Tingyi, his voice sounding a bit heavy.

"I...I didn't realize his true face until now. Thank you for exposing his evil deeds."

Lei Tingyi shook his head upon hearing this.

"Lord City Lord, you don't have to be polite. We are also fighting for justice, to protect the peace and tranquility of this world. Now Chang Qing has been executed, and his evil deeds have been punished as they should be. I hope that Lord City Lord can learn from this and choose his men more carefully."

Sikong Wen sighed and looked at Lei Tingyi, Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan with a complicated expression.

He knew very well that this incident was a huge crisis for Juling City, and the three of them not only successfully exposed Chang Qing's conspiracy, but also eliminated this great harm for Juling City.

"That's it. It's over."

Sikong Wen spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion and helplessness in his voice.

"Thank you three for helping me get rid of the evil in Juling City. I will always remember your bravery and justice."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and saluted the three people to express his deep gratitude.

Upon seeing this, Lei Tingyi, Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan also quickly returned the greeting.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Lei Tingyi spoke.

"We just did what we should do. I hope that Juling City will become more peaceful and prosperous as a result."

Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan also nodded in agreement.

They believe that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to protect the world and ensure peace and tranquility forever.

When Sikong Yun learned that Chang Qing died at the hands of Lei Tingyi, Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan, his heart was filled with confusion and anger.

He had always regarded Chang Qing as a loyal man of Juling City, but now he suddenly learned that Chang Qing had betrayed the City Lord's Mansion and was killed by these three outsiders. This was hard for him to accept.

"They must be here to murder Juling City!"

Sikong Yun clenched his fists, anger flashing in his eyes.

He immediately summoned a team of guards and prepared to find the three people to question them.

However, when he brought the guards to the three people, he found that they were talking with the city lord Sikong Wen, and the atmosphere did not seem tense.

This made him even more confused. Didn't his uncle think these three people were the murderers?

"Uncle, why don't you join me in catching these three murderers?"
