The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Shen Yingsi turned around and saw Xie Wanzhou leading his men in a flustered manner.

Xie Wanzhou, sword in hand, approached Shen Yingsi, scrutinizing him with his eyes, and asked, "Si'er, are you alright? Where is the Ghost King?"

Shen Yingsi pointed to the burning pile of bones and replied, "Just now, some expert came to help, and Xi Yu has already suffered the consequences of his own actions. He will soon be gone. However, the expert left without leaving a single word."

"what?"

"Dead! That means the Ghost King is dead!"

"Great!"

"It must be a deity descending to earth to help us!"

Yes! It definitely is!

Everyone seemed excited upon hearing the news, but Xie Wanzhou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"We were stopped before we even got close to the underground palace. Thank goodness, thank goodness you're alright."

Jiuying, mingling in the crowd, couldn't help but smile, his eyes shining.

More and more stones fell from above the underground palace, and the fire grew larger and larger, with a lot of burnt black ash floating in the air.

Looking at the raging fire, Liang Tiantian frowned and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Uncle, let's get out of here first!"

Xie Wanzhou nodded, and everyone quickly left. Chaoyan patted Liang Tiantian's shoulder, signaling her to leave.

Liang Tiantian rubbed her eyes and turned to leave.

……

In the city of Moonlit Half, the mindless imps all collapsed to the ground, and humans and demons fought endlessly.

The news of the Ghost King's death spread like wildfire throughout the city, boosting the morale of the human race and filling the hearts of the demon race with trepidation.

Two days later, the war ended, and the demons in the city either died or fled, and Yueban was completely returned to the hands of the human race.

"Hurry up, everyone! The body will start to stink if we're any later!"

"I know, I know."

"Wen Li, come quick! Help me! There seems to be a corpse trapped here."

"coming!"

Wen Li turned around and helped Chao Yan lift the beams and boulders that were pressing down on the corpse with one hand, while she held the water bottle she hadn't had time to drink from in her other hand.

Asagao stared at her with her mouth agape, and the soldiers who had come to help were also dumbfounded.

Wen Li was startled. She threw the thing in her hand aside and said expressionlessly, "It's so heavy, I almost couldn't lift it."

Just as Asagao was about to ask Wenli how high her cultivation level was, she heard a surprised exclamation.

"It's the little strategist!"

"Little strategist!"

"How could this be, how could this be... Waaaaah..."

"Little brother! Little brother! Waaaaah... I'm late, I'm late..."

Asagao lost control of her emotions, broke down in tears, pulled the body out and held it in her arms, and the people around her silently wiped away their tears.

Wen Li clenched her fists, took two steps back, and looked at the corpses, her anger only growing stronger.

Seeing Daiqin's miserable state at this moment did not leave her with any sadness; on the contrary, she felt a little excited.

She inexplicably thought that the blood-red ground was beautiful; it would be even more beautiful if everyone around her were lying there.

Her fingertips dug into flesh; she felt an urge to kill; her head throbbed with pain…

Wen Li felt inexplicably afraid. She forced herself to appear sad and suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart. She felt she should comfort Chao Yan like everyone else, but she stood there for a long time, not knowing what to say. When she caught a glimpse of Xie Wanzhou coming this way, Wen Li turned around and walked away without making a sound.

Her body was behaving strangely, and she was worried that Xie Wanzhou might have noticed something.

Once it was confirmed that Xie Wanzhou was not there, Wen Li then helped them deal with the soldiers' remains.

Although not all were wiped out in this battle, the Northern Desert Cavalry lost over 40,000 men, and the Feathered Spirit Army also suffered over 10,000 casualties. They had clearly won, but after the brief celebrations, what remained was a long-lasting sorrow and grief…

Wen Li walked to the mass grave in the middle of the road. In this pit piled with ghosts, the people she found were incomplete, scattered here and there.

Wen Li dealt with the situation expressionlessly. In the pit, she found a severed hand. The fabric on the hand was tattered and so dirty that its color was obscured, making it difficult to identify its owner.

Seeing that the hand was tightly clenched, Wen Li tried to pry it open and found that there was a jade pendant inside.

But the style of this jade pendant...

Wen Li took out her "nine"-shaped jade pendant and then looked at the "green"-shaped jade pendant.

It's quite rare to find someone in the world who could carve a jade pendant so... well, it's peculiar. Besides the Jiang family, there are actually other people who can do it.

Holding the jade pendant in her hand, Wen Li felt strangely that the resentment in her heart suddenly dissipated, and even the headache that had been nagging at her for the past two days stopped!

really weird!

Looking at the piles of corpses around her, Wen Li felt as if a stone had been thrown into her heart. Her previously indifferent and even somewhat pleasant mood turned into a feeling of oppression and discomfort.

She gripped the jade pendant tightly, set the severed arm aside, and continued rummaging through the pile of bones for other parts, trying to make it as intact as possible.

When her gaze fell on a certain spot, Wen Li's body froze completely.

Severed arm, skeleton, broken leg, torso, head...

With eyes wide open and tears streaming down its face, the long scar on its face testifies to the immense suffering it has endured.

"Aunt Song..."

Wen Li's lips parted slightly, and it took her a long time to find her voice. Only then did she realize that her eyes were gradually becoming moist.

She suddenly felt that this place was very familiar. Wen Li looked around and realized that the screams she heard when she passed by this place on her way to find Shen Yingsi in the underground palace were from Aunt Song.

She couldn't help but feel resentful that if she had looked more closely or lingered longer, she might have been able to save her.

Wen Li heard the soldier sobbing softly, and she pinched herself, forcing herself to hold back her tears.

After calming herself down, Wen Li tried to piece the body back together, but in the end, Aunt Song could not escape her fate of being mutilated; she was missing an arm.

She fixed her arm and was about to put the jade pendant back into Aunt Song's hand when she discovered that the pendant was faintly radiating divine power. As soon as she put the pendant down, her head started to ache again, and the demonic power within her surged wildly.

Wen Li quickly gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand, and the raging demonic energy within her body calmed down.

Is this jade pendant suppressing something within her body? This...this is no ordinary jade pendant. What if this belongs to the Jiang family?

The Jiang family genealogy records that the Qingzi jade pendant should have been passed on to the next head of the family, which means it should be in the hands of Jiang Xunzhi, or at least his maternal uncle.

What if the third uncle is the young master favored by the maternal grandfather? Then the jade pendant should be in his hands!

Jiang Yanqing... Song Nan...

Song Nan, Jiang Yanqing! The person Aunt Song was looking for is Jiang Yanqing? He's her third uncle!

"Heroes, come quick! My grandpa made some flatbread! Let's eat flatbread first! It's so delicious!"

"Time to eat flatbread! Time to eat flatbread!"

"Take a rest, Uncle Hero..."

Behind them, Tao Xi, Shi Tou, and a group of children from Guiyue Village carried bamboo baskets full of flatbreads and handed them out one by one.

Wen Li discreetly hid the jade pendant and quickly covered the body with a white cloth.

"Boss! A pancake!"

As Wen Li turned her head, Tao Xi and Shi Tou stood behind her, each holding a large pancake and a smiling face.

Stone placed the pancake in front of her, saying, "Boss, are you hungry? Eat up."

Tao Xi quickly said, "Boss, eat mine. I secretly hid some for you; it's meat-filled! Shi Tou's is vegetable-filled."

Stone whispered, "Boss, you eat two."

Wen Li wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief before accepting the two pancakes.

"Where is Second Master?"

"Don't worry, big brother. Second brother is still in the village, and my mother is taking very good care of it! She feeds it five meals a day!"

Wen Li nodded, stuffed the pancake into her mouth, took a bite, waved to them, and said, "Alright, you guys go back now, come back when you're all ready."

"We're not leaving, brother, we'll help you!"

"We'll help you!"

As they spoke, Tao Xi and Shi Tou jumped into the pit of corpses and began to collect the bodies.

Amidst the desolate scene of corpses strewn across the moonlit landscape, innocent children carried bodies taller and heavier than themselves, some even mutilated and horribly mutilated, without a trace of fear or disgust. When Wen Li stared at them, they would even look up and smile at her, indicating that they were comfortable with it.

They placed the body on a stretcher, covered it with a white cloth, and then bowed to the body.

Wen Li couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?"

Stone: "I'm not afraid."

Tao Xi stood up and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa said they are all our benefactors."

"Sisters, thank you for helping us get home."

Wen Li turned her head, her eyes welling up with tears again. In the distance, Xiao Hua, who was younger, hurriedly ran over.

Standing in front of her, he looked around before taking out what he was holding—another pancake.

"Brother, this is the pancake I stole for you. It's different from the ones everyone else eats; it's filled with meat."

Holding three pancakes in her hand, Wen Li said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I already have three pancakes! You guys are abusing your power for personal gain, and I'm eating so many while others are eating... Take them away!"

"By the way, have you guys eaten?"

The three little ones remained silent, except for Little Flower, who shook her head.

"Xiaohua, what do you say?"

"Grandpa said that we should give the grain to our benefactors first, and we can eat vegetables since we still have some at home."

Wen Li stuffed a pancake into each person's mouth, shooed the others aside, and said, "You guys eat it yourselves, I don't like this kind of pancake."

"But……"

"No buts! If you don't listen, I'm going to hit you!"

The few scoundrels dared not speak out in anger and could only accept the cake.

"Alright, this isn't a place for you. Go back now. Your boss is worth a hundred of you; we don't need you."

Seeing that the others didn't move, Wen Li kicked Tao Xi and Shi Tou twice, and then pushed Xiao Hua.

Seeing them leave reluctantly, Wen Li turned around and continued working.
