Chapter 396: Killer?

After the man finished speaking, others quickly chimed in, “Right, right. She killed everyone in town with a sword.”

“She killed my whole family. Even if she turned to ash, I would still recognize her,” stated a short, thievish-looking guy through gritted teeth.

At first, Chuling was stunned but came to understand what was happening soon after. She glared at them angrily and declared,” You guys are bullsh*tting. My miss didn’t kill anyone.”

What these people had actually said was that her miss had exterminated everyone in town. They obviously wanted to frame her. It really was terrible.

One of the skinnier men with a frivolous look raised his head and looked at Feng Tianlan. He affirmed, “No, it was not this one in front of us. That lady was too pretty, like a fairy. This person in front of us looks like a demon. No, no, the killer is definitely not this ugly fellow in front of us.”

Hearing these words, the magistrate gave the frivolous man a slap in the face and reprimanded him, “Idiot! That is Feng Tianlan. Lady demons can transform. They can turn into beauties and seduce everyone. The beauty you all saw that day was an illusion.”

The frivolous man covered his face, which was swollen from the slap, as he busily nodded while talking. “Yes, yes. She is Feng Tianlan. She is the one who killed the townspeople.”

Seeing the frivolous man change his statement, the magistrate nodded in contentment. He then turned around and looked at Feng Tianlan, who had been silent the whole time. He declared, “Feng Tianlan, you are suspected of murder. Please, follow us.”

Feng Tianlan had been watching the show from the side. Now, she faced the magistrate, who was as fat as a pig, and sneered, “Suspected for murder?”

“That’s right. The survivor from the town has testified that you are the killer. Please, follow me and accept the punishment of the Law of South Winds,” said the magistrate in a bureaucratic way.

Feng Tianlan sneered, “What if I don’t follow you?”

This was hilarious. These people didn’t even recognize her. Just because of her name, Feng Tianlan, they’d accused her of being a murderer. The clues obviously pointed to her.

“Then don’t blame us for being rude.” The magistrate did not have much patience. He immediately gave an order, “Take them down. Kill any who oppose on the spot.”

He did not care if the person in front of him was Feng Tianlan. He’d rather kill a hundred than let one slip away. Carrying out Lady Phoenix’s orders was his utmost priority.

In an instant, twenty to thirty constables rushed toward Feng Tianlan with swords in their hands.

Chuling frowned as she brought the constables to their knees with just a few strikes of her Silver Silk Net.

“You! Don’t you come near me. I am the magistrate. If you dare to kill me, you will be chased down by the Imperial Court.” Seeing Chuling carrying her Silver Silk Net, she walked toward him with a cold gaze, and the magistrate backed off in fear.

Feng Tianlan sneered, “Kill him.”

Chuling raised her line of sight. The Silver Silk Net flew out like a blade and wrapped around the magistrate’s neck. A grunting sound followed, and his pig head immediately fell onto the ground.

Feng Tianlan raised her icy gaze and stared at the people who were running away. She raised her hand, and a vine flew out and yanked a few of them back. They were fiercely thrown on the ground in front of her.

“I will kill anyone who tries to run away again.” Chuling held her Silver Silk net and swung it around in front of them. Bright red blood dripped onto the floor.

“Lady, please spare us. We were forced to accuse the lady of murder.”

“We were acting under someone else’s order. We are not even from Misty Town.”

“Lady, please spare our lives! We will confess everything. It was the magistrate who asked us to testify against you. We are innocent. We beg you, please, spare our lives!”

After seeing blood dripping from the Silver Silk Net, they trembled all over and straightaway revealed everything they knew.
