Before he could finish, one of the two youngsters cried out: “Ah, it’s that Zhou Ying! Why is he relying on help from the demon race?”

“Who knows?” That person shrugged, “He must’ve relied on the demons, why else would he steal the Jade Cloud Pearl when he was fine where he was with the Soaring Cloud Sect? Nobody knew he was relying on the demon race before, but Elder Qiu went missing recently and it was discovered that he was the one that killed him. Elder Qiu left a letter right before his death, it said that he had already found out Zhou Ying was relying on help from the demon race, if he died, it must be by Zhou Ying’s hand. Elder Qiu’s corpse was found a few days ago by Elder Lou, and he decided to tidy up the sect.”

When Bai Yang, who was standing behind them, heard that, his chest tightened. Sure enough, Lou Jianfeng had made a move, and that move was to frame the male lead so he could harm him without hiding it.

The other youngster seemed a bit calmer, “I remember Zhou Ying once saved Phoenix City’s Lord’s daughter, and was very chivalrous. We shouldn’t be rash and say that he seeked help from the demon race without concrete evidence.”

“What do you mean by no evidence? Is Elder Qiu’s letter not evidence?” The other youngster rebutted, “Even Master Lou from the Soaring Cloud Sect said he was a traitor, isn’t set in stone now? I thought it was strange that over two hundred people died the day of the Hidden Flower Mirage and that he was the only survivor. On top of that, he obtained the Dragon Blade, what kind of good luck is that? I say that he was already in cahoots with the demon race then, how else would an irrelevant beginner like him survive? Wasn’t he supposed to be hacked into pieces after the Hidden Flower Mirage? But then the demon race suddenly came and captured him, isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

Hearing that, the others nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that’s right, it all makes sense.”

Their discussion caught the attention of the others in the line, the line was too long and everyone was bored out of their minds, so they came over to discuss as well, “I heard Zhou Ying is the Son of Destiny, that’s why his luck is so good!”

“Nonsense!” The others laughed, “Our Phoenix City’s young master Feng Xiang is the Son of Destiny, how could Zhou Ying compare?”

“That’s right, that’s right……”

The few youngsters from the beginning continued to ask: “Alright, Zhou Ying relied on help from the demon race, what does that have to do with why we’re all lined up here?”

“Didn’t you know that some of the demon race has entered Phoenix City? The City Lord and Master Lou are currently after the demon race and Zhou Ying.” Another person said, “They’ve declared martial law and are strictly questioning everyone that’s coming and going, in case Zhou Ying or the demon race tries to escape.”

Bai Yang quietly listened to their discussions from behind, piecing together the full story.

Zhou Ying has been exposed and is on the run, and is in a very unfavourable and dangerous situation.

“Wow!” A noise of surprise suddenly sounded, attracting Bai Yang’s attention.

Everyone in line began to stir, raising their heads towards the sky of Phoenix City. They only saw a clear enchantment over the huge city, like a dome of glass.

Bai Yang remembered this part in Phoenix City, the male lead was framed by Lou Jianfeng to be with the demon race and got surrounded by many people, narrowly escaping death.
