Liming

Protector Lu Yang and Protector Du both fell silent when they remembered what happened five years ago.

What Protector Mo said was right. The Demon Lord is very dangerous and must be captured back or killed. But also deep down, the three of them know that pushing all the blame to this young woman is also wrong. What she has experienced in the dungeons these past three days was already extremely awful and now, she is going to be cursed by thousands of people and eventually be executed. But what can they do?

On the other hand, the people in the plaza were curious as to what item Protector Cui has brought on stage.

Great Elder Yui continued, "Three months ago, someone enrolled as a student to infiltrate Gouzijian Academy. He has stolen Great Elder Feng's Fanying Ring. That incident is also related as to why we have decided to have an off-season enrollment."

"The student was called Hou Wuhan but that was a fake name. After the incident, we have investigated the Hou Clan in Kai City of Ming Country. Although the clan was small, they never had any youth of that name in their genealogical records. We have described the youth's appearance and found that he was the young master of their enemy clan, Bin. The Bin Clan no longer exist as they have been persecuted, only Bin Xinyue, their young master, is alive to this date. This Bin Xinyue is found now to be a member of the Zhongguo Alliance."

The people in the plaza were confused but some smart people were able to connect the dots.

The Zhongguo Alliance was an enemy of the Council. They have been accusing the Council to be an evil organization and they have been attempting to confuse the public for the past six years.

The face of a young beggar in an alley behind a restaurant twitched, "When did I become Bin Xinyue?! When did I steal this Fanying Ring or whatever that is? Why did I not know all about this?". He gritted his teeth, "This woman can lie with a straight face!"

"We have then decided to do an extensive background check on all enrolled students. It resulted in fifty-two students being kicked out because of unclear family history and fourteen students being sent to the Ministry of Justice." Great Elder Yui narrated.

Suddenly, Great Elder Yui's face sank. "But that was one of our biggest mistakes... We have arranged carriages for the fifty-two students to be sent back to their home countries and also a few Protectors to escort the fourteen students to the Ministry of Justice... But... They were all ambushed. The fifty-two students and the Protectors' bodies were found, but the fourteen students went missing."

Gasp!!! What kind of news is this? No one has ever heard of this. Death of students and even those powerful protectors... Who in this continent has such a force... Zhongguo Alliance!!!

"Motherfffff! This woman is going to pin this on us too?", the beggar angrily whispered.

"The bodies... were all s.u.c.k.e.d dry... No energy nor elements were left on them." Great Elder Yui exclaimed. She then lifted up the black cloth covering the item Protector Cui brought. "This was done by using the Fanying Ring. It absorbs energy and elements. This was how we were able to seal the Demon Lord five years ago and now it was used by this woman to break the barrier in Khun Mountains and the seal placed on the Demon Lord. Now, this here is the Fanying Ring, all the stored power was released."

The whole plaza came to a realization. So that was what happened!

This Fanying Ring must be a very powerful item. To break the toughest barrier in the entire continent set up by two of the Great Elders and even the seal that was placed by the entire Council on the Demon Lord...

Zhongguo Alliance... That is the real evil organization. This woman called Aurora is also as hateful.

Do not judge a book by its cover! She looked so weak and innocent but she has now made their nightmares a reality, she has released the Demon Lord!

"Kill that witch!!!", someone at the back shouted.

Once that person started the cursing, everyone followed. There were also people who were frightened of the future and just cried, "She has doomed us all!"

Fearing that the situation will go out of hand, the two protectors that were holding Aurora made her kneel behind the guillotine. They quickly laid and locked her head at the bottom of the structure and tied her hands.

The people already started to throw stones and random things in the stage where Aurora was located. Although there were some stones that hit the two protectors, they were not hurt because of their high cultivation.

The one who suffered was the quiet Aurora. A stone in the size of a fist hit her forehead and red blood flowed down her face. But the people did not stop and nor felt pity and just kept on throwing and cursing at her.

A middle-aged man was hysterical and tried to get on the stage but was quickly stopped by regular city guards positioned in front. He then shouted, "Cut that rope! Behead her! Please, Great Elders, kill that woman!"
