"Was it me? Did I slaughter the entire town? Did I kill Yingzi's whole family?"

Trembling, Li Huowang turned his head to look into the eyes of the dead girl in front of him.

Her lifeless pupils were dilated to the maximum, and her mocking smile still hung on her face.

"I killed her, killed a good person who wanted to avenge her parents? Am I the one who deserves to die the most?"

At that moment, Li Huowang began to feel afraid, extremely afraid. He pushed the body of Yingzi away and quickly took a step back.

Trembling, Li Huowang raised his hands and looked at them, which were completely stained red with Yingzi's blood.

"No, this is not right! I didn't travel back four years ago! Even if I did, I couldn't have killed the whole town or caused chaos in the Ao Jing Sect! I'm just an ordinary lunatic!"

"You're not ordinary, ordinary people don't have your abilities." Someone interjected.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Looking at the increasingly frightened red-robed Taoist in front of him, Hand San continued, "In theory, I didn't want to have too much contact with you, who knows if you'll go crazy halfway, but since Master Jingxin spoke up, we owe her a favor."

"You shut up!!"

"Don't try to deceive me! You're all greedy! Stop pretending! I'm here! Come on! Use the power of your cult!"

Seeing Li Huowang glare at him angrily, Hand San took a step back. "Xuan Yang Xiaoyou, calm down a bit. We're helping you, you can't repay kindness with enmity and attack us."

The other's words were not helpful at all, but instead deepened Li Huowang's fear, as if they were true.

Breathless, Li Huowang rushed forward and grabbed Hand San's robe, staring at him fiercely. "Attack me! Use your evil cult's power now!"

Hand San gestured for the other Ao Jing Sect members who were ready to attack to back off.

"Xuan Yang Xiaoyou, although the Ao Jing Sect has a bad reputation outside, we're different from you. We don't kill people easily, everything has to be done in a legitimate way."

After taking another look at Yingzi's body, Li Huowang, with red eyes, gritted his teeth and rushed out of the cave.

Seeing Li Huowang, who was full of momentum, all the Ao Jing Sect members blocking his path backed away against the wall and made way for him.

Outside the cave was night, the round moon hung in the sky, and the cold wind that blew in his face made Li Huowang slightly more sober.

He stumbled over to a tree, leaned against the trunk, and covered his face with his hands, crouching down, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Am I a ruthless killer? Am I even more despicable than Danyang Zi? Did I really kill Yingzi's whole family?"

The strong guilt and oppression weighed on Li Huowang's head like a mountain, making the string in his heart stretch to the tightest.

Li Huowang's keen hearing picked up the sound of footsteps approaching, but he just wanted to hide now and didn't want to pay attention to anything.

Suddenly, he felt someone gently patting his shoulder, and the voice came with a hint of concern, "Xuan Yang Xiaoyou, are you leaving? Are we not keeping our promise?"

The other's words easily broke Li Huowang's fragile self-isolation."It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!! I'm going to find evidence! That town couldn't have been destroyed by me!"

Li Huowang stood up again and pushed away the hands in front of him, heading straight for the town below the mountain.

Watching Li Huowang disappear on the mountain path, Hand San respectfully asked a member of the Eastern Lightning sect with a square face, "Elder Shenbenyou, what do you think of this..."

The man with the square face furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a moment before saying, "Go and take a look, be careful not to get yourself involved."

Under the moonlight, Li Huowang returned to the dead town.

The deserted town in the withered and sparse forest in the darkness was so eerie.

But Li Huowang didn't care about any of this, he frantically searched, even if it meant cutting himself and bleeding.

When he found a skeleton lying on the ground, his eyes lit up. He took out a fluorescent stone from his pocket and examined it closely.

"The left side of the skull is completely shattered! This was a blunt force trauma. This isn't my style, and besides, I don't even like using blunt weapons."

Li Huowang's mood gradually stabilized, and he continued to search other skeletons methodically.

"These bones are all blackened and brittle, burned to death. I couldn't have done this."

"And this is even more absurd, half of his body is exposed, and half is stuck in the wall. How could I have done this?"

The more dead bodies he saw, the more relieved Li Huowang felt. Yingzi was wrong, he didn't kill anyone.

As he looked at the skeleton in front of him blooming like a flower on the ground, Li Huowang's heart was finally at ease.

"I didn't kill anyone, I'm not a murderer, I'm just an ordinary person." Li Huowang confirmed his identity repeatedly.

But then another question popped into his mind. "Why did Yingzi make a mistake? Could it be that there was a villain who looked exactly like me?"

"Hmm... this is troublesome. It might cause a lot of trouble in the future."

"But let's talk about this later. First, I need to figure out how to deal with Danyang Zi."

As Li Huowang was about to leave the decaying wooden house, some papers next to him caught his attention.

He walked over calmly and picked up the papers.

They were covered in blood and looked like they were written just before the writer died.

Li Huowang couldn't make out most of the words, as many of the characters were unfamiliar to him.

"Wait, these three characters look familiar."

Li Huowang touched the last three brushstrokes with his finger, feeling very puzzled.

He touched them for a long time, and just as his brow furrowed tighter and tighter, his mind suddenly exploded.

"Li Huowang! These three characters are Li Huowang!"

Excitedly shouting the meaning of these three characters, Li Huowang suddenly felt someone grab his throat.

Li Huowang looked back at the surrounding skeletons, his pupils dilating and contracting, fear gradually invading his heart."No... impossible! Yingzi must have made a mistake! I didn't kill their parents! I didn't kill these people!" Li Huowang muttered to himself, his emotions becoming more and more agitated.

He could find all kinds of reasons to deceive himself, but the three words on the paper in his hand forced him to face reality.

With a "snap," Li Huowang's string snapped instantly.

"Li Huowang!! You killed them!! You lunatic!!"

"No! I didn't! I didn't! I didn't!! I'm a good person!! I'm different from Danyang Zi and the others!"

Kneeling in the center of the pitiful and miserable bones, Li Huowang's forehead bulged with veins as he hysterically shouted into the air.

"Swoosh~" A furry pill rolled and flew into Li Huowang's mouth.

In an instant, the oppression and pain in his heart increased several times, almost devouring him.

At this moment, a person walked in slowly, it was Hand San.

With his charred body, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the thick flames instantly enveloped his whole body, making a crackling sound.

With a wave of his hand, the scorching flames on his body quickly spread along the ground, wrapping Li Huowang's entire body.
