Junior sister took first place again

In recent days, many families in and outside Yangcheng have suddenly fallen ill. Ji He and the other two are overwhelmed with the situation. Gradually, word spread that it was because Miss Jin was possessed by a demon.

This is because most of the people who fell ill were people Miss Jin had saved before, and more than a dozen people have died from this relapse.

The imperial teacher sent by the emperor told the people of Yangcheng that the plum demon had possessed Miss Jin, and the people who were rescued before had already been killed by the demon, and the ones who were alive were puppets created by the plum demon using magic.

When Ji He went out of the city to treat a patient, the imperial teacher used magic to turn the patient Ji He had saved into a red plum tree in the city, inciting the people to believe that this was a monster pretending to be a good person and lurking in the city to harm people.

Miss Jin has been bewitched by a monster and feeds the monster herself to persecute the people of Yangcheng. If she doesn't wake up soon, Yangcheng will be destroyed by this monster.

Ji He and the other two gathered today in the courtyard rented by Ning Jiasheng and others.

Ji He sat at the head, closed his eyes, and said slowly:

"Many families have already refused me entry. If this continues, Yangcheng will be in danger."

Chang Zonghuan said indignantly, "Your Majesty and the Lin and Jin families have worked tirelessly for the people of the city, ensuring that Yangcheng is well-fed and well-clothed. Today, they are being burdened by such a villain. It is truly despicable."

The fellow disciples and the people from the Wuji Sword Sect were all filled with resentment, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was heavy.

Because many people were shaken and doubtful about Miss Jin's identity, Ji He's cultivation level fluctuated in just a few days, and he almost showed himself in public several times when fighting with the evil cultivator.

Fortunately, there is a spirit gathering formation, so the evil cultivator does not dare to fight Ji He openly for the time being.

However, more and more people in the city were killed by the evil cultivator. Even though Ji He's cultivation level was comparable to his, it was difficult to save everyone's life.

Ning Jiasheng and others could only be spectators. Their cultivation level was like an egg hitting a rock when compared to that evil cultivator. They could only watch helplessly.

Moreover, since the appearance of the evil cultivator, Ning Jiasheng and others have been unable to communicate with other people in the illusion, except Ji He and Miss Jin and her husband.

Ji He looked at everyone, raised his hand to signal for silence, and said, "I appreciate your kindness."

"Don't dare."

Ning Jiasheng and others stood up and saluted it, and Ji He and Miss Jin and her husband returned the salute.

Ji He said, "After I fight that evil cultivator at Meiling tomorrow, the illusion will be broken. Then, you can all leave on your own."

Ning Jiasheng: "Even though the outcome is already known, Your Majesty is still so kind to the people of the city. This time, the human race has let Your Majesty down greatly."

Ji He shook his head. "My relationship with them is mutually beneficial. Without them, I might still be lingering in the early stages of Jindan."

"What the people are pursuing is peace and health. Now that the number of deaths is increasing, it is understandable that people are panicking."

"That evil cultivator has killed so many people, and my cultivation has only fluctuated so far. This shows that there are also many grateful and sensible people among them."

Having said this, he slowly smiled and said:

"Besides, my remnant can still maintain such a large illusion, and there are no vengeful spirits in the city. During the battle in the city, they must have still believed in me even after revealing my true identity."

"If not, I would have been annihilated like that evil cultivator."

Ning Jiasheng sighed in his heart. This was a dead end.

Back then, Ji He and that old thief had a decisive battle in Yangcheng. When they fought, everyone must have known his identity. He was indeed a demon.

The fact that Ji He left behind a lasting impression shows that many of the people still trusted him.

But when two humans and monsters in the God Transformation Stage fight in this city, how can an ordinary person survive?

Even if Ji He won a tragic victory in the end, the people of Yangcheng had already died. How could he survive after losing his most important source of power?

Now that Ji He knew the previous result, he had decided to go to Meiling tomorrow to fight the old thief in advance.

One is that he doesn't want Yangcheng to be destroyed again before his eyes, and the other is to get them out of this illusion in advance.

Anyway, the result is already decided, so there is no point in keeping Ning Jiasheng and others here.

The old thief is still plotting secretly in the city, not because he cares about the lives of the people in the city, but just wants to wait for Ji He's cultivation to drop before taking action.

Ning Jiasheng invited Ji He to come in and talk to her.

When Ji He set up the barrier, he saw that she had sealed her own cultivation and said puzzledly:

"Why is that so?"

After making sure that the inner demon could no longer hear him, Ning Jiasheng bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, do you think that you left us in this illusion just to reminisce about the past?"

"I have a puzzle that I still don't understand."

Ji He nodded to signal her to continue. Ning Jiasheng took a deep breath and said quickly:

"Although the conditions for the power of faith are harsh, its cultivation speed advances by a thousand miles a day. Even that old thief could tell at a glance that the Lord was the one who saw him. The possibility of it being lost is extremely small."

"But in today's world of cultivation, it's unheard of for people or demons to use the power of faith to cultivate."

"More and more demons are now devouring human cultivators. After the Demon King's fall, cultivators have been hunting demons more frequently. The relationship between the two tribes is extremely hostile, like water and fire."

Ji He frowned, "Has it come to this?"

Ning Jiasheng nodded, and Ji He said objectively:

"If this continues, there will be a war between the human and demon races within a hundred years."

"so--"

Ning Jiasheng clasped his fists decisively and said,

"When two races fight, the demons will inevitably benefit. If Your Majesty knows why the power of faith has been lost, please come out and see us."
