The scoldings dimmed a little.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ji Fengyan slowly walked out the door. The street was filled with trash and disgustingly filthy.

Ji Fengyan’s face remained expressionless. The citizens felt that they were looking at a frail, delicate young girl who held an extremely peculiar aura—unbefitting someone of her age.

“This young girl looks so strange...” More cowardly citizens couldn’t help murmuring when they saw Ji Fengyan’s profile.

“How could she not be strange? If not, how could she have caused the death of so many people! General my foot, I think she is a demon!”

Thinking of how many people had died and not knowing if they would be next—their alarm at seeing Ji Fengyan was instantly replaced by their intense fear of death.

“Get out of Ping City! You demons!!” Someone shouted—once again inciting the crowd. The gathering snapped out of their reverie and glared at Ji Fengyan. The more they looked at her, the more abnormal she appeared. They even felt that she was radiating an evil aura.

The crowd once again started their verbal abuse, spewing out terrible insults.

Linghe and the rest could no longer bear to see Ji Fengyan under siege by those stupid commoners. They immediately dashed out of the door.

“Enough! Nobody knows how those people died. On what basis are you blaming it on us!” Linghe gritted his teeth as he pointed at the violent congregation.

The Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers followed suit, standing erect alongside Ji Fengyan.

How could they hide inside the house while their own General was outside facing all that abuse?

The sudden appearance of the whole group of Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers momentarily stunned the citizens. Nevertheless, stimulated by their intense fear, the crowd recovered quickly and increased their barrage of rock-throwing.

The soldiers suffered multiple strikes and nasty bruises—but they refused to back down.

Ji Fengyan eyed the entire situation coldly. She narrowed her eyes which held a spine-chilling look.

“Enough.” Ji Fengyan spoke in a low voice. At the same time, a strong gust of wind emanated from beneath her feet and blew away all those rocks.

The surrounding citizens were dumbstruck by this bizarre scene. They cried out in terror as they looked at Ji Fengyan as if she was a monster.

“You are saying that we killed those people? Alright, but I do want to know who was the actual person behind it. Don’t you all want to know?” Ji Fengyan looked at the hysterical group with a hint of anger in her eyes. She suddenly gave a sinister smile and drew out her evil-vanquishing sword from her Space Soul Jade.

Everyone involuntarily shuddered when they saw her evil-vanquishing sword.

“You want to kill us! You will murder us!!” The terrified crowd shrieked in a frenzy.

Lu Shaoqing looked in wonder at Ji Fengyan. He was also very upset with the stupidity of those commoners, but if they attacked citizens in public... they would be punished under military law.

However...

Ji Fengyan simply continued smirking at the overwrought crowd.
