Chapter 725 – Is that me?

An Zheng didn’t know why He Lianmin’s face had suddenly turned into the face of the little red-clothed girl. He had clearly seen the girl earlier, still standing on the walls of Helian Family’s inner city.

There was a smile on He Lianmin’s face that made people’s hair stand up. She looked at An Zheng and said each and every word, “All men of Helian Family deserve to die … All of them deserve to die. ”

When An Zheng wanted to say something, the little girl’s face had already disappeared. He Lianmin regained his senses, and screamed in pain once again.

Because He Lianmin had swallowed the Ancestral Pill that the Helian Family had spent several generations of effort to refine, her strength had risen greatly. This kind of sudden increase in strength also had a lot of side effects.

With time, this side effect might fade. However, she was too anxious, thinking that she could kill An Zheng and become the first person in Helian Family.

She had always looked down on the weakness and fear of the men in the Helian Family, as well as the malice that grew from that helplessness and fear.

“Who is that girl?”

An Zheng squatted and asked He Lianmin.

He Lianmin’s face was as white as paper, but the immense pain on her body was not the main reason why her face had turned so pale. An Zheng could tell that she had been frightened.

Who was that little girl to be able to scare He Lianmin to such an extent, to actually be able to make the patriarch of the Helian Family, Helian Hen, go crazy on the walls of the inner city.

“She... She is a devil! ”

He Lianmin wailed, as though someone had grabbed him by the neck and suffocated him.

Under this extreme fear, He Lianmin’s mind was completely muddled. Right now, she saw that An Zheng had long forgotten about the life and death battle, and was instead grabbing onto An Zheng’s sleeves tightly.

“Please, take me away, there’s a ghost here! There’s a ghost! ”

He Lianmin’s shout made the doubt in An Zheng’s heart grow even stronger. He asked He Lianmin, “Who exactly is she?”

“Helian Ting!”

These three words practically squeezed out from He Lianmin’s teeth, and her teeth were even trembling.

“She... She’s a demon. ”

“What the hell is going on?”

“I don’t know either. I don’t know either. I beg you, can you bring me away?” Helian Ting had come back to claim her life. No one could escape. I don’t care, I don’t care about anything anymore, I beg you to bring me away from here. ”

An Zheng knew that he was crippled, his cultivation had been crippled by An Zheng, but he seemed to have gone insane. He was crippled by the little girl in red.

She shouted incoherently, as if many people in Helian Family knew about this.

An Zheng got up and walked towards the direction of Helian Family’s inner city.

He Lianmin lay on the ground behind him and shouted, “I beg you, please don’t leave. Tell me, why are you so willing to take me away? Only people outside of Helian Family can leave this place. ”

“Then tell me what happened.”

“Yes...”

Halfway through He Lianmin’s words, her tone suddenly changed, changing once again into the voice of the little red girl: “All men in Helian Family deserve to die.”

An Zheng watched as his face gradually turned into that of a little girl in red, then walked back to her and asked. “Who exactly are you?”

The voice of the red-clothed little girl seemed to be right beside An Zheng’s ears, as if waves of cold wind were blowing by his ears.

“Do you want to know? For him to go up and take a look... “I need it, take me with you.”

What was going on?

At first, it was He Lianmin who suddenly asked An Zheng to take her away as if he had gone mad. Now, it was this little girl who said that only An Zheng could take her away.

“I’ve been cursed, cursed!”

He Lianmin’s voice returned once again, “The ones being cursed are not just the people in the inner city of Helian Family. Every single person in this Nine Peak Mountain City has been cursed. The men of Helian Family deserve to die, they deserve to die. ”

An Zheng knew that he wouldn’t be able to find an answer from He Lianmin so he stood up and walked towards the inner city. When he arrived at the entrance of the city, he looked up.

An Zheng saw the little girl wearing a red dress standing at the edge of the city wall and looking down at him. That incomparably pale face seemed to be so close to him that he could even feel the coldness on her face.

She looked at An Zheng, and then turned around. When she turned around, she crooked her finger at An Zheng.

An Zheng entered through the inner city’s city gate, causing Helian Heng to kill everyone around him. An Zheng did not even encounter any resistance as he entered the Helian Family’s ancestral home. Corpses littered the ground, indicating that Helian Hen had killed his way into the ancestral house after leaving the city walls.

An Zheng walked forward along the blood road, and the sounds of people shouting for battle came from ahead of him. When An Zheng sped up and rushed over, he saw many people from the Helian Family surrounding and attacking Helian Hen.

This was even more strange!

Helian Heng was the current patriarch of the Helian Family, and he was also the emperor of this so-called Western Ping Country. Why did the people of the Helian Family dare to attack him? Furthermore, all of them seemed to be terrified.

“Kill him, he has already been possessed by a demon!”

Someone shouted, his voice hoarse.

“He’s the Patriarch!”

“Even if it’s the Patriarch, we must kill him. He has already been possessed by that Evil Spirit. Our Helian Family cannot be destroyed by this person, kill him! ”

An old man wearing a long robe walked out from the inside. He looked so skinny that he seemed like a bamboo pole that had been placed there for many years. With a gloomy face, he looked at the berserk Helian Hen. His hands abruptly pressed down.

A huge transparent barrier of light appeared out of nowhere in the sky. With a boom, it trapped Helian Heng inside. However, Helian Heng still attacked like a madman. The rebounding force of the light barrier caused him to spit out blood.

And at this moment, An Zheng saw the girl in red again. She just stood beside the old man calmly and smiled at An Zheng.

An Zheng was once the head of the Ming Fa Si, he had solved countless cases in his life. He had seen many, many ugly things in human nature, as well as many terrible things. However, he had never seen sucerrifying smile hanging on that little girl’s face.

He stood beside the old man and watched as the light barrier gradually compressed. Then, bit by bit, it suppressed Helian Hen. Helian Hen finally could not hold on any longer. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

With an ashen face, the old man lifted his hand, and the light barrier disappeared. A group of people rushed over, slicing Helian Heng into mincemeat with one blade and one blade.

The strangest thing was that Helian Hen was lying on the ground, helplessly watching those people slicing his body. He actually didn’t cry out or scream, he just lay there with a calm expression and even had a strange smile on his face.

Then, An Zheng saw that the little girl was also wearing a smile on her face, and the smile on Helian Heng’s lips … It was exactly the same.

He originally thought that it would end like this, but An Zheng did not expect that the little girl would suddenly raise her hand and grab the corner of the old man’s clothes. She lifted her head and looked at the old man. Her eyes were filled with pleading, grief, fear, and despair.

The old man suddenly froze for a moment, and then, his expression changed greatly. “Quickly leave! All of you, leave! ”

Perhaps he felt something, so he quickly turned around and ran inside. As for the little girl in the red dress, she floated above him like a balloon, but he didn’t even know it.

The old man rushed in, and quickly disappeared, while An Zheng’s mind was filled with the little girl’s strange smile, as though there was some power that attracted An Zheng to quickly follow her.

The people around him acted as if they could not see An Zheng and started running. It didn’t seem like the first time they had experienced this, but the fear was still strong.

“They deserve to die.”

The voice suddenly appeared beside An Zheng’s ears. Even someone like An Zheng who had experienced a great storm couldn’t help but be shocked. He subconsciously looked to the side. He didn’t know when the little girl in red had appeared beside him.

“Thank you.”

The little girl raised her head, and looked at An Zheng as she sincerely spoke.

“Thank you … “Thank me?”

An Zheng was stunned.

“Yes, thank you.”

The little girl looked at An Zheng and laughed. That smile was not as weird as before, it looked very cute and innocent. However, her face was still terrifyingly pale.

“Why did you say thank you?”

“Because you are helping me take revenge.”

The little girl raised her hand, as if wanting to grab onto the corner of An Zheng’s clothes.

Not long ago, she had grabbed the corner of Helian Hen’s shirt. Helian Hen had gone mad and was being hacked to death by her own people. Just a moment ago, she had grabbed the clothes of elder An Ge. The elder had also gone mad and rushed into the inner courtyard of Helian Family.

“I won’t harm you.”

The little girl held out her hand, which looked so white.

An Zheng stretched out his hand and held onto that small hand. That small hand was incomparably cold, and An Zheng felt as if he had been frozen solid. That feeling was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was surrounded by ice that would never melt even after ten thousand years.

“Thank you …”

The little girl said again, as if she did not have any enmity towards An Zheng.

“I wanted to kill you too, because it seems to me that every man in the world deserves to die. So many years. A hundred years? Two hundred you? Or five hundred years? I can’t remember. I just know that I’ve always wanted revenge, but I don’t have the power to do it myself. ”

“I... Curse them, but I want to kill them more. I need strength, and I’m using your power right now. I saw your inner cleanliness, I saw the horror of your coming. That’s why it seems like the people in Helian Family were killed by others due to my control. In reality, the reason I’m controlling them is because I’m using your power. ”

“Sorry, I can’t use their power because we share the same origin.”

An Zheng could not understand the little girl’s words, but he could tell that the little girl truly did not have any enmity towards him.

“It should be over soon. After so many years, you’re the first man I’ve met who’s strong enough to kill them but clean enough in his heart.”

The little girl smiled, and her smile was very radiant this time, “You’re finally free, right? If I want to leave, will you bring me away from here? There’s no need to go too far, just bring me out of Helian Family’s city. I cursed them, and they cursed me … ”

An Zheng wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn’t dare to. He knew that there must be some extremely terrifying and tragic story behind this, and he did not want to hear it.

“I was killed by a man from Helian Family. I was only six years old at the time. My uncle, my dear uncle. Take me into his room. I’m only six years old. I cried and begged him to let me go, but he wouldn’t. There were people passing by outside the door, but no one paid much attention to them when they saw him. It was as if … There’s nothing to be sorry for. ”

“I went to find my father. I cried and told him that my uncle had bullied me and that my father had beaten me … He said that I was dishonest, that I had corrupted my family, and that I was a disgrace to the Helian Family. ”

She raised her head and looked at An Zheng as she asked seriously, “Why is it me instead? I asked for help, and they all pretended not to see. I grabbed each of them by the hem of their clothes, hoping they’d take me with them. But no one did that. It was all my fault … ”

She seriously asked An Zheng: “Is it my fault?”
