The two demons made people feel fear. For a moment, they stopped pushing themselves into the courtyard.
Fear towards demons made them calm down.
Liu Yuanyuan’s true form was very big. It was the size of two people hugging each other. She slowly slithered to the roof, her black scales flickering with a cold light under the sun. It was very intimidating.
Although Hu Yu was fierce, the silver fox was beautiful and was not as intimidating as Liu Yuanyuan.
Xia Hongming rushed over. The imperial guards cleared the way. “I’m the current Crown Prince. There’s a source to the plague. I’ll definitely get rid of the source and give you an explanation.”
Looking at Xia Hongming, who was tightly protected, countless crazy commoners felt indignant. They were dressed in plain clothes but the rich and noble lived a luxurious life.
When the plague broke out, it was difficult for the commoners to find medicine, but the rich and nobel were safe and sound.
An old man said in a low voice, “Your Highness, you’re protected so well. How can you understand the suffering of us commoners? There are many psychics in the capital, and some of them are infected with the plague. They said that this disaster was brought about by a woman called Liu Sanniang.”
The veins on Xia Hongming’s forehead bulged. “Bullsh*t. Who said that?”
“It was my spirit who told me. Miss Liu has a divine body. As long as she sacrifices herself for others, all of us can be saved.”
There were many psychics in the capital who raised spiritual beings. They could sense what mortals could not.
“Elder Ge is right. The plague we are infected with is not an ordinary plague. This is the deathly aura from the netherworld. It’s incurable. If Miss Liu is willing to sacrifice herself for others, all the people in the capital can be saved and the plague will disappear.”
The man beside Elder Ge echoed.
Elder Ge put down his walking stick and knelt down shakily. “Your Highness, you don’t understand the pain of us commoners. Tens of thousands of people are suffering from the plague. Is there anything wrong with sacrificing one to save so many? Moreover, Miss Liu said that she’s the True Buddha. She’s here to save the world. This is her responsibility.”
Everyone slowly knelt down. “Your Highness, please give us a way out.”
Elder Ge was respected and was a psychic. His words were convincing.
Xia Hongming sat on the horse with an extremely dark expression.
The commoners in front stared at Xia Hongming with red eyes.
Madam Wang was not far away. Her red face was already covered in pus, and her heart was filled with hatred. Looking at Xia Hongming, who was high and mighty, her eyes were filled with anger. She stood up and said loudly, “If you want to live, don’t count on the emperor or the crown prince. These officials are all good-for-nothings. They don’t care about our lives. Open your eyes and see what we look like and what the crown prince looks like!”
Xia Hongming was well-protected. The difference between him and the others was obvious.
Madam Wang’s words hit the nail on the head. Everyone seemed to be ignited with anger.
They were all people on the verge of death. Who cared if Xia Hongming was the Crown Prince or not? What was there to be afraid of?
Countless people slowly stood up with sinister expressions, looking like demons who had crawled out of hell.
“What are you doing? Are you rebelling?”
The eunuch beside Xia Hongming shouted.
Liu Sanniang slowly walked out of the courtyard. When people saw her, they revealed bloodthirsty gazes.
Liu Sanniang’s face was a little pale. She held the talismans in her hand and said slowly, “You’re right. It’s my responsibility to save the world. If you want to drink my blood and eat my flesh, there’s no hurry. It won’t be too late to do it after I set up the array.”
“Miss Liu looks like a little girl. It’s not certain if she is really the chosen one. Anyway, there’s no hurry. Let her do it.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Anyway, if we can’t live, we have to drag her down with us. She won’t be able to escape.”
Most of the people who were infected were ordinary people. Looking at Liu Sanniang’s weak appearance, they could not bear to hurt her. If not for the fact that they were in so much pain, they would not have forced a little girl to die.
If some people agreed, there would naturally be others who objected.
“No, she’s a psychic from the Mystic World. She’s very capable. What if she kills us?”
“What if she’s lying to us? She’s not infected. Of course she’s not afraid. If she runs away, we won’t be able to find her.”
“She’s here now. As long as we take a bite of her, we’ll be fine. Why take the risk to let her set up the array?”
Madam Wang looked at Liu Sanniang viciously. She was in so much pain that her vision was blurry. She could only stare at Liu Sanniang. She did not want to wait a moment. She could harm her entire family, so she was naturally not a good person.
She even had a strong feeling that after eating Liu Sanniang, she would definitely be able to live.
Madam Liu hated Madam Wang to the core. She pulled Madam Wang and said, “Stop talking. Miss Liu is so young and thin. There are so many of us. If we really eat her, we might not even be able to take a bite. Now that she has a way, we naturally have to let her try.”
If not for Madam Wang’s vicious nature, their family might not have been infected by this plague.
Madam Wang pushed Madam Liu away fiercely. “What if she is lying? If we go to the front, we might be able to eat a piece. However, if she runs away, we won’t have a chance to get a piece of her meat. Why should I take the risk?”
Madam Wang’s sinister words attracted the attention of many people.
Many people were the same as Madam Wang. After they were infected, they released the evil in them. They couldn’t live, so they didn’t let others live either. It would be best if everyone died. Only then would they feel it was fair.
Elder Ge looked at Liu Sanniang and said slowly, “What this woman said makes sense. Miss Liu, how can we trust you?”
“If anyone dares to touch Miss Liu, I’ll kill them now!”
Xia Hongming was so angry that his eyes turned red. It was just a plague, but what it brought out was the selfishness of human nature. They even wanted to eat human flesh.. Were they crazy?
