The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 28 Twilight Town 21

"How did you win?" Shen Yingsi asked seriously.

Huo Zhao stared into his eyes and replied, "The Supreme God once promised me that if I could ensure the wolf demon clan would no longer harm people within ten years of leaving Ghost Valley, then he would acknowledge that we have the right to live in the human world. He would acknowledge that this human world is not only the human world, but also the human world. And this year marks the twentieth year since we escaped."

For twenty years, not a single person was harmed. They hid and fled, barely surviving in the world.

“I don’t know what Qingdeng thinks, but I admit that since demons are born in the human world, they should live in the human world. However, in the human world, only one of them can survive.”

"Why?" Huo Zhao questioned.

Shen Yingsi chuckled: "Huo Zhao, ask yourself if you've been content all these years? Have your people been content? You possess immense power yet you have to hide from mortals who are a hundred times weaker than you. Demons are beasts that have cultivated themselves; the law of the jungle is their nature."

Are you willing to accept this? Huo Zhao turned to look at the group of people who had followed him for a hundred years. They were shouting at him, their eyes filled with worry and fear.

"All things are born from balance, and humans, with their intelligence, value things more. Demons, through cultivation, are also intelligent, and in conflict between the two, the human will surely lose."

Shen Yingsi's voice rang in his ears, and Huo Zhao suddenly laughed: "Exactly the same, exactly the same! Qingdeng, you really haven't changed."

Shen Yingsi's brows furrowed with barely concealed anger.

More than 500 years ago, Huo Zhao heard the exact same words. At that time, he was full of indignation. Why couldn't humans and demons coexist? So he asked him for an agreement.

If he can guarantee that the wolf clan will never harm a single human again when they return to the human world, then he has won.

He's won now, but it feels like he's lost. All his years of hard work seem to have become a joke.

Unwilling, truly unwilling! Demons are unwilling to submit to humans, and so are humans.

The power disparity between humans and demons is vast; in the event of a conflict, humans would be at a disadvantage. To eliminate this crisis, whether already occurring or yet to begin, the only option for humans is to exterminate all demons in the world.

"I have lost, but I only ask that I give my life in exchange for the safety of my people. They will return to Ghost Valley and never set foot in the human world again."

He no longer called himself king, but with the attitude and responsibility of a king, he fought for a way out for his people.

The wolf demons were howling at them again, but their howls were becoming more and more mournful and tragic.

Wen Li looked at Shen Yingsi and saw that his deep, dark eyes remained completely calm.

For some reason, she felt he would agree, even though he had already turned to the dark side.

"Then let's get these wolf demons out of here before I regret it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhao didn't turn around, but instead roared at the wolf demon pack with his back to them, "Get out! Get out of here now!"

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the wolf demons behind him transformed into human form, lined up neatly in a square, and knelt down in unison.

"Get out! Are you not going to obey my orders?"

The wolf demons did not answer, but knelt on the ground and wept, yet not one of them moved an inch.

"Host Shen Yingsi's corruption level has dropped to 80%."

"He's downgraded?" Wen Li looked at Shen Yingsi, only to see that he was expressionless, and even his eyes were cold.

"Huo Zhao, perhaps death is the best choice. You may seem to have let them go today, but you may find in the future that living is the most terrifying thing."

Shen Yingsi's voice was gentle and calm, as if he were teaching a child who had gone astray.

Wen Li looked into his eyes, and she seemed to see a hint of helplessness in those clean and clear eyes.

Shen Yingsi held the spear, preparing to plunge it into Huo Zhao's chest, but his hand was grasped by a small, slender, white hand.

"Shen Yingsi, don't kill him."

Shen Yingsi turned his head and stared at Wen Li with some confusion. Before he could ask why, he was interrupted by a female voice.

"No! Don't kill him!"

Huo Zhao looked in the direction of the sound and saw his bride running towards him without regard for anything else.

But she should still be asleep at this time.

Jing Chan, holding up the hem of her wedding dress, crawled and stumbled her way to them, her small body trying to shield the burly wolf demon behind her.

"Please, please, don't kill him!"

Jing Chan looked exceptionally beautiful today. Her wedding dress and Huo Zhao's wedding attire were both hand-sewn by her over three months. Her makeup was done by the best matchmaker in town, and she wore jewelry given to her by Huo Zhao.

She already had delicate features, and with this outfit today, she looks absolutely stunning.

Wen Li knelt down, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Do you know he's a demon?"

Huo Zhao clenched his fist silently as he heard her reply.

"I just found out."

"Then you don't resent him for lying to you?"

"I don't resent it, because I know he's a good person."

Jing Chan gripped Wen Li's hand tightly, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She continued, "Ten years ago! Ten years ago, he saved me and the entire Mushan Town! He saved so many people; he was a demon, but a good one."

Wen Li seemed about to retort: ​​"You mean he was the one who drove away the wolf demon in Mushan Town ten years ago? But look at him, he himself is a wolf demon!"

"No, no." Jing Chan's voice was choked with sobs.

"It wasn't the wolf demons that hurt people, it was the dog demons. Although there were many wolf demons, they didn't harm anyone!"

Jing Chan gripped Wen Li's hand tightly and tugged at Shen Ying Si's sleeve, trying to persuade the two of them. Tears had already blurred her carefully applied makeup.

"Don't kill him, he shouldn't die. He's a good demon, a great hero!"

Wen Li never intended to kill Huo Zhao. Jing Chan was her first female friend, and she knew she would be heartbroken if Huo Zhao died. She had seen the upturn of Jing Chan's lips when she talked about Huo Zhao, the sincerity in her prayers to Buddha, and the longing in her eyes when she looked towards her home.

"He's a good demon? What a joke! The Wolf King Huo Zhao is a man-eater! Five hundred years ago, he single-handedly wiped out an entire cultivation sect of over a thousand people. Do you think his crimes can be erased by saving a few people?" Shen Yingsi's voice was calm, yet it contained sarcasm.

The words "cannibalism" and "murder" stunned Jing Chan. This was completely at odds with the Huo Zhao she remembered and the hero she admired.

"Chan'er, I'm sorry, I..."

Huo Zhao wanted to touch her hair as he used to, but his hands were covered in blood, and he couldn't tell if it was someone else's or his own.

"He's talking nonsense! He's talking nonsense! Isn't that right, Amo? Tell him you've never hurt anyone, much less eaten people."

Jing Chan turned around and looked at Huo Zhao with pleading, teary eyes. She tightly grasped Huo Zhao's large, drooping hand, hoping for a response from him.

What kind of person is A-Mo? Zhao Jingchan knows him better than anyone. His master said that he had a fierce face and an excessive murderous aura, and didn't seem like a good person, but she knew that no one could be better than her A-Mo.

He would save innocent people from the demons, secretly apply medicine to an injured puppy, and quietly chop a pile of firewood for her.

They had known each other for two years and had been in love for two years. Although Huo Zhao's current demonic appearance was somewhat unfamiliar to her, she still knew what her A Mo was like.
