All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Feng Ning raised her hand, "Stop, stop, stop! I have no grudge against you. Didn't you see clearly that I'm here to help you? I'm the one who trapped that bastard."

The demon seemed to have realized something, tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then turned his head and looked at Lord Lin with hatred.

Feng Ning asked, "I'll open the barrier around the city lord's mansion first, and you can go in and settle your scores. Once we've dealt with things inside, I'll leave this person outside for you. But you have to be quick, the formation can only hold for half an hour at most."

The demon nodded and roared in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

Feng Ning walked to the door, fiddled with it for a while, and figured out the structure of the formation.

He then took two steps back and opened an opening in the barrier.

The demons, who were already prepared, rushed in, and Feng Ning closed the barrier again.

A short while later, screams and heart-wrenching cries came from inside.

Liu Yuanxiu was somewhat puzzled, "Since the barrier has already been opened, why close it again?"

Feng Ning smiled at her, "Of course, we won't let anyone escape."

Hua Jinghe came out and said, "I already found out beforehand that everyone here is a confidant of the eldest and second young masters and has done many things for them. Those who disobeyed were killed long ago, so no one here is innocent."

Liu Yuanxiu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. We shouldn't have let them get away."

Upon hearing their words, Lord Lin's eyes turned bloodshot with rage, his gaze almost bursting out of their sockets. If looks could kill, he would have already torn them to pieces.

But there was nothing he could do. He didn't know what was going on with the formation, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it. Instead, it backfired on him.

He could only watch helplessly as his son was killed, unable to do anything about it.

About fifteen minutes later, the demon finally emerged, carrying two severed heads in his hands.

It was covered in blood, and its body had grown considerably larger.

Lord Lin was so overwhelmed with emotion that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You beast, how dare you kill my son!"

Feng Ning stepped forward and opened the barrier, and the demon emerged.

He grinned at Lord Lin, then threw two severed heads in front of him.

Lord Lin watched as his two sons stared at him with their eyes wide open, making him feel both uneasy and panicked.

The demon then turned his gaze to Feng Ning, "Next, it's this old man's turn."

Feng Ning nodded, her smile sweet. "I can't stand these bullies who rely on their power. A chivalrous person like you should wipe out this shameless family."

The demon chuckled. "Heh heh heh... You call me a chivalrous knight-errant?"

Feng Ning nodded frankly, “Of course! I’m not that kind of ignorant fool. You became a demon for your family, and you killed these people to avenge your loved ones. What’s wrong with that?”

If you do nothing, then I'll despise you, because you're a coward who doesn't even dare to take revenge! But if you take revenge, then you're a hero, at least in front of your family, you're a hero!

Hearing her words, the demon was stunned for a long time. "Is that what you think?"

Feng Ning nodded. "That's exactly what I think! If anyone dares to kill my family, I will tear them to pieces and make sure they suffer a terrible death for all eternity!"

The demon suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Good! I like you very much, girl! They deserve to suffer eternal damnation! I'll make them die right now!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone was dumbfounded and incredulous.

Duan Menghua, on the contrary, nodded in agreement.

"I also think what you said makes sense. If someone hurts the person I love most, I would want to cut them into a thousand pieces."

Feng Ning's blood boiled, and she walked to the edge of the barrier with a smile. "My lord, you must be quick when you go in this time. I'm afraid he'll escape! This formation is only effective for half an hour, so you must hurry."

The demon nodded. "Open it. I must resolve this myself."

He then walked to Feng Ning's side. Feng Ning raised her hand and lightly touched the barrier in front of her. The demon rushed in with a whoosh.

Of course, Lord Lin couldn't just watch them plot against him. The moment the barrier opened, he rushed towards the opening.

However, the gap between the two is too large.

The demon was incredibly powerful; with just the impact of its body, it sent Lord Lin flying back.

Lord Lin hurriedly steadied himself, but still crashed into the barrier, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Feng Ning calmly closed the formation and then reinforced it to make it even more secure.

"Beasts! You actually colluded with demons! You are all traitors, traitors to humanity!"

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Then just consider me a traitor. It's much better than you, a hypocrite. At least this demon brother is genuinely confronting me, unlike your two sons who are cowards who can only hide in the city lord's mansion."

Lord Lin wanted to curse a few more times, but the demon didn't give him the chance.

"Trying to stall for time? Dream on!"

He then charged forward and engaged in battle with City Lord Lin!

All the onlookers could see was the fierce fighting inside, with neither side giving an inch. In terms of strength, the two were almost evenly matched.

However, the demon has already become a demon, and its physical strength is greater than that of ordinary humans.

When Lord Lin was hit, it was a solid blow, but when the demon was hit, it took Lord Lin three moves to inflict the same damage.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

Feng Ning, along with the others, stood outside, watching the battle with bated breath.

To be honest, these high-level battles are actually quite beneficial to them. Watching more battles between such strong individuals can sometimes deepen their understanding.

Such opportunities are rare, so since we've encountered one, we should definitely take a look.

The five of them watched with great interest, showing none of the panic and strangeness they had felt when they first entered the city.

Even Hua Jinghe forgot his fatigue and fear during this period and was now watching their battle with great excitement.

Time passes slowly.

Half an hour had passed quickly, and City Lord Lin had persevered until now. Although he had suffered some injuries, he was not going to die anytime soon.

The demon was a little nervous. "Little girl, could you set up the formation again? Time's almost up, isn't it?"

Feng Ning smiled and said, "No need, the time has come, he can't escape."

The demon gave her a strange look, but she still had that innocent and lovely smile, unchanged.

He didn't know exactly what was wrong, but he felt that things weren't quite as he had imagined.
