Before he could even see the person's face clearly, the Xiaowan was certain that Ling Chaofeng was the one who came to save her.

However, the people of Baisha County only stared at the sound of the hooves in the darkness, completely unaware of the golden light in the sky.

At this moment of life and death, the Xiaowan was actually thinking, if they couldn't see the golden light, or Little Pei, then they definitely wouldn't be able to see the horns on Little Pei's head. In the future, when he no longer grows up overnight, he will be able to live a normal life.

But now, it was not the time for her to express her mother's feelings. The fire burned even more intensely, and sparks of fire danced on the hem of her skirt, and very quickly, it burned into pieces. Her skin was engulfed by the raging fire, and the smoke choked her nose, making her unable to open her eyes due to the intense pain.

Suddenly, they heard a scream from the crowd. A white horse stepped over their shoulders and jumped off the white horse. A familiar figure jumped into the fire.

Xiaowan could vaguely see Ling Chaofeng brandishing the sword, it was like the scene she saw upstairs when they were married. That day, she thought that her husband wanted to kill him, but he had only chopped off the tip of the escort's foot to save her life.

”Hubby …” Xiaowan forgot about the pain and forgot about the thick smoke coming out from her nose. She knew that with Ling Chaofeng here, she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Ling Chaofeng flew down, one hand holding onto Xiaowan's waist while the other hand holding onto the cold and oppressive longsword. At this moment, it was as if the flames on the fire had lost its frightening aura, and everything was covered by the man's killing intent.

He looked at the scene in front of him in a panic. Seeing Ling Chaofeng taking a step towards him, he bellowed, ”You stop right there, what are you trying to do?”

Ling Chaofeng pointed his sword at the unconscious official and shouted: ”For killing your wife, I shall take your head!”

The county magistrate's legs instantly went limp. Seeing that there were so many commoners below, and seeing Huai Yin's face flash through the crowd, and thinking back to what she had said, no matter how strong Ling Chaofeng was, he could not hold up against the numbers.

He gathered his courage and said loudly: ”She is not your wife, she is a demon. She has caused many disasters to the Baisha County, Ling Chaofeng, don't be bewitched by the demon spirit, quickly wake up and kill the demon together with me.”

The county magistrate loudly shouted to the commoners, ”Kill this demon and we will be able to return peace to everyone. There will no longer be any snowstorm or floods in Baisha County …”

The commoners were shocked by Ling Chaofeng at first, but when they thought back to the snowstorm and the flood in La Yue, they immediately became spirited again. One by one, they started to shout ”Burn her to death!”, and gradually, groups of people began to shout ”Burn her to death!”.

”Burn her to death! ”Burn her to death!”

”Get out!”

”Get out of the Baisha Town …”

Cursing and expelling people came one after another, their ugly faces reflected in the light of the flames. This was the place Ling Chaofeng treated the villagers well, this was the place he had been protecting for the past ten years.

Suddenly, his hands felt heavy. Xiaowan no longer had the strength to stand on her own.

Her originally tender and beautiful face had turned jet-black from the smoke of the fire, and her skirt had been burnt to smithereens. Her fair legs were exposed, and the skin on her calves was no longer visible.

”Burn her to death... Burn her to death … ”

Ling Chaofeng's sharp eyes swept past them, and then he stabbed his sword into the fire. He tried his best to pick them up, and with the spreading of the fire, the burning firewood flew all over the place, landing on the roofs of the houses around, and then entering into the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned at first, but after seeing that the house was on fire, they finally understood what was going on and quickly dispersed to their own homes to put out the fire.

Ling Chaofeng set the firewood on the fire aside and scattered it all over the houses. He had invited the flames from the City God Temple's censer, if he wanted to extinguish them, it would be difficult.

In the midst of their screams, the fire rapidly spread outwards from the houses surrounding the yamen. Before long, the entire Baisha County would be engulfed in a sea of fire.

turned a deaf ear to the shouts that came from afar. With one hand holding Xiaowan and the other holding onto her longsword, she pressed on and forced the county magistrate into a corner.

Who would protect this unconscious official right now? When the county magistrate saw that he was about to be killed by a sword, he suddenly saw Yue Huaiyin standing alone at the other end of the hall. She looked at everything with a terrified expression, as if he had been frozen in place.

”It's not me, hero or hero, Manager Ling …” The county magistrate was at a loss for words, ”It wasn't me who wanted to kill your wife, it was Yue Huaiyin who instigated me.”

Ling Chaofeng did not hesitate to stab down with his sword, but he did not kill the officer. He had only injured his shoulder, but the cowardly bastard had fainted from his own fear, and closed his eyes.

This sword was dirty, Ling Chaofeng did not want it, so he threw the sword on the ground and picked up Xiaowan with both hands.

The commoners had all left, thus, Yue Huaiyin's actions became even more abrupt as she stood there. The Goddess and the old Daoist Priest were scared to the point of peeing their pants, but they still said to Yue Huaiyin when they were escaping, ”We don't need the silver, you should never come look for us again.”

Yue Huaiyin looked at them in shock, then looked at Ling Chaofeng. His eyes were blazing, he was even more terrifying than the bonfire earlier, or the sea of flames behind him, but he completely ignored his own existence.

”She's a monster!” Yue Huaiyin suddenly looked like she had gone mad, screaming in pain, ”Ling Chaofeng, how am I inferior to her? How am I inferior to her …”

It was to the point where he even rushed forward and grabbed Ling Chaofeng's arm: ”Just look at me, even if you look at me once.”

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed Yue Huaiyin's neck, and lifted her skinny body up.

Her slender neck looked like it was about to be crushed. As she kicked, she instinctively hit Ling Chaofeng's arm and struggled to spit out a few words, ”Let me go …”

But very quickly, she fell silent. Without strength, she could no longer struggle, could no longer tangle with them, could no longer secretly persecute the tavern and the Xiaowan.

Yue Huaiyin's neck was broken, but when Ling Chaofeng released his hands, his body fell to the ground limply, no matter how miserable wails sounded around his, she would never wake up again.

Ling Chaofeng carried the Xiaowan and passed through the sea of flames like a god or a devil.

He turned a deaf ear to the cries that filled the place, but a baby's cry that came from an unknown place burrowed into the Xiaowan's heart. The unconscious her suddenly woke up and saw a sea of fire.

”Little Pei... Little Pei... ” Xiaowan looked at the Golden Dragon hovering in the sky, and extended his hand out to his son.
