The villain's daily corpse collection

After all the cultivators dispersed, Huo Feng and his companions walked towards Wang Wei, while Yuan Xiang walked at the end, carrying the injured and unconscious little girl on his back.

"Master, you...you actually broke the formation?"

Liu Yin was still trapped on the stone pillar and unable to move, and Wang Wei did not loosen the restraints.

"Are you surprised that I broke the formation?" Wang Wei's tone was calm, as if he was just relaxing like that day when he was sitting on the swing.

Liu Yin's breathing became heavier. She tried to break free from the shackles that bound her body, but failed repeatedly because of her disordered breathing.

She had clearly calculated everything.

These seals and magical instruments are nothing to her. Although they look miserable, they are just for the performance effect to make those monks believe that they are trapped.

But now it really can’t be opened.

Liu Yin looked up and found that the core of the magic circle was emerging above Wang Wei's palm. This was the fundamental reason why there was no solution.

"Master, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you! I just wanted to trap you temporarily. I will take care of the rest... Please give me another chance!"

Liu Yin's voice trembled slightly. She had been a little relaxed in front of the group of monks, but at this moment, her whole body was spasming.

Huo Feng and his companions had already arrived beside Wang Wei. Seeing Liu Yin tied to a stone pillar, Huo Feng drew his sword and stood beside Wang Wei.

"Master, this snake demon..." He still maintained the alertness of their first meeting.

"No hurry, I have something to ask her." Wang Wei looked at Liu Yin, "Let me start from the beginning. How did my things end up in the hands of that stupid sect?"

Liu Yin pursed her lips and said nothing.

"What is it that you can't say? Or... you don't want them to hear it?" Wang Wei was puzzled. Liu Yin was ruthless in his actions, so why was he so hesitant now?

"I...I just want to do this on my own and leave it completely in your hands."

Wang Wei turned his head to glance at Huo Feng, signaling them to stay behind.

She walked forward alone, got close to Liu Yin, tidied her messy hair, and wiped the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth with her own hands.

Liu Yin followed her gaze, but found that she never looked at him, as if she was sorting out an unimportant thing due to a sudden attack of her mysophobia.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yin called her in a low voice, and glanced at the people who were on high alert in the back.

"Go ahead."

"Give me another..."

Wang Wei gently strangled her neck and used his body to block his movements. Others could only see the two of them talking in an amicable manner.

"There's no time left. Do you understand?" Wang Wei raised his chin and looked at her. "If you don't want to hold me back, tell me everything. Don't leave out a single thing!"

Liu Yin nodded slightly, but there was still reluctance in her eyes.

Wang Wei sighed and said, "Liu Yin, you really have never been very smart. You were captured by the gods but didn't know that you were strong enough to resist... You were instigated to kill the fox and then ran away... You lived alone in the lower world and wanted to atone for your sins and make merit in front of me, but you ended up in a situation where you couldn't make it back... If you had just said one more word to me -"

As she was talking, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Liu Yin is also an old demon. In the eyes of mortals, her appearance is mature, stable, sexy and charming, but when it comes to doing things, she acts like a child.

Simply put, a fool.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was trapped by my obsession for a moment and caused you trouble..." Liu Yin said in a low voice.

Wang Wei waved his hand and cast a spell, preparing to let Liu Yin down from the stone pillar.

A pure spiritual power broke the black iron shackles on Liu Yin's wings, and the chains with barbs instantly turned into powder. Liu Yin shook off the dust on his wings, and as the spiritual power flowed, the scars on his wings gradually healed...

Liu Yin was surprised. She thought Wang Wei would ignore her and let her fend for herself. But she didn't expect that she would actually heal her wounds.

Next, the whole body.

The spikes of the magic weapon pierce all over her body, except for the seven-inch heart position, which is to weaken her attack ability.

"It hurts a bit, but don't forget the pain once the wound has healed."

In order to control those magical instruments, he planned to pull them all out at once.

Liu Yin gritted his teeth and persisted, but still couldn't help but growl.

Huo Feng and his companions also gathered around.

"Master, I can use magic to heal her."

He saw the situation clearly. Although she had left a bad impression on him before, at this moment, there was no adversarial relationship between her and Wang Wei.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Wei smiled at him, turned around and started talking about Liu Yin again.

"You've taken your fakery to this extent. What's your purpose? None of those monks should be your opponent. You should at least resist them. Where did your magic skills of thousands of years go?"

Liu Yin was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. She said in a thick nasal voice, "Woo woo... My strength, my strength is in the hands of those mortals in the city..."

"What do you mean?"

"This story starts from the day I came to the mortal world—"

"Let's make this matter short." Wang Wei Wuqing interrupted her long speech.

"The people of this city have been kind to me."

The wounds on Liu Yin's lower body were gradually healed by Huo Feng's magic. They were no longer a bloody mess. She turned into a human form and sat on the ground.

Everyone sat down and formed a circle. Although the talk was to be brief, it looked like it wouldn't be too short.

"I am from Sili Village in the east of the city. When I first came to the world, I didn't know anything, and many aunties in that village helped me... Even though they found out that I was a monster, they still didn't have the heart to drive me away... I lived in that village for decades, and eventually accompanied them for half of their lives, and sent them away one by one... Then I left and went to live somewhere else."

She paused, "The people in that area are simple and honest. At first, they were a little afraid of me, but later they all called me the Snake Fairy. I used magic to help them drive away wild monsters and evil people. They built a temple and statue for me to worship me... Unfortunately, the lifespan of mortals is too short, and I sent away several generations of people in their village."

Everyone listened to her words and fell silent for a while.

In most people's impressions, whether from the appearance or the extremely threatening look when first met, Liu Yin is definitely a complete evil demon.

But I never thought that her nature was not that difficult to describe.

"and then?"

"Actually, I shouldn't have gotten involved in that matter." Liu Yin gritted her teeth. "Many people know about the advent of the divine weapon. I realized it later, and it was only after the dog told me that this was what the owner had been looking for."

"That dog" refers to Chaos, a privately damaged account.

"But," she straightened up, "I was the first one to find the painting. That's the real artifact."

"Then?"

"I had been keeping track of it, but that night the painting and the person who collected it disappeared together."

"Kidnapped?"

Liu Yin nodded.

"Oh my God, who is this powerful person who can actually snatch things from Sister Liu!" Du Ximiao interrupted at the right time to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.

"No, there are just some wild monsters that are not under the control of the Monster King, and some monks, the group of people today."

"After staying in the mortal world for too long, he has become a waste." Wang Wei commented mercilessly.

Huo Feng secretly glanced at the subtle expressions of the two. Liu Yin looked aggrieved, while Wang Weize looked serious. Although these words were not directed at him, why did he feel so empathetic?

Liu Yin said seriously, "There is only one divine painting. It was originally in the hands of a mortal and was actually inconspicuous. That person was a famous painter in the city. He had a major characteristic in his paintings. He only painted people, especially women. And he only painted the mouth of the portrait, and occasionally the eyes, which were very rare... Maybe it was too unique, he quickly became famous and became a household name. After that, countless people came to ask for his paintings, and his paintings were also driven up in price. From then on, he lived a life of luxury."

She tried her best to throw out a bit of spiritual power, and that spiritual power unfolded a scene before everyone's eyes.

The scene was an unremarkable painting studio.

A painter with a very strange appearance walked out from the inner room. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not born in a family of luxury.

He was wearing a half-face mask, with only his mouth showing. The mask fitted tightly, so the rest of his face could not be seen clearly.

He opened the mechanism of the secret room on the table, and a secret door on the side opened in time.

After taking many detours in the secret passage, we finally arrived at a room. There was a simple camp couch in the room and a painting hanging in the middle of the wall.

The painting was several inches larger than ordinary paintings. It showed a goddess wearing bright red armor. The woman had only a pair of delicate and beautiful red lips on her face. If you look closely, you can see a pair of huge wings behind the goddess.

Sure enough, it is quite different from what is circulated outside.

Wang Wei feels that the person in this painting looks familiar.

The painter was very respectful towards the painting. He placed an altar in front of the picture, and the offerings on it were more valuable than the clothes he was wearing.

"How could this thing be lost in the mortal world?"

"I don't know the cause of the incident. I haven't had the chance to talk to the painter for a few more words. I wanted to try to get his advice for a few days before taking action. I didn't expect that he had already been targeted by someone else."

"Why this painting? The person in it..."

"Is there someone who has a crush on you, Master? So you only dare to paint secretly, because seeing the things reminds you of the person..." Liu Yin teased.

Huo Feng sat up straight and looked at Wang Wei, who suddenly frowned, "This is unlikely, but it is possible that he likes you guys. At least, I have never worn armor, and my mouth is not that delicate and small."

She was referring to her three subordinates: Liu Yin, Da Feng and Fu Zhu.

Huo Feng nodded, turned and stared at Wang Wei's mouth for comparison: "Well, it certainly doesn't look like Master's mouth." Wang Wei turned his head to look at Huo Feng, and he smiled slightly.

Yuan Xiang spoke slowly: "It's hard to say why the face can't be painted completely. I always feel that there is not such deep emotion."

"Wow!" Du Ximiao put his hand on his shoulder and said teasingly, "I didn't expect Brother Yuan Xiang to have such a special opinion on this."

Zhuang Boyan said, "What we saw before were all fakes. Today we saw the real thing, and it is indeed extraordinary. According to the style and composition of this kind of painting, the person who painted this painting must have had special feelings for the woman in the painting, and it was not just for the purpose of painting a portrait."

"Now the people from Qishan Sect have kidnapped the owner of the painting along with the painting. Are they in their sect?"

Liu Yin nodded: "At first, the painting fell into the hands of a mortal official, and then somehow it fell into the hands of a disciple of that sect. Later, this matter alarmed the city god here."

"Is there really a City God in the City God Temple?" Du Ximiao asked curiously.

"Of course, it's just that you mortals can't see it. The City God is a priest sent by the Heaven to the mortal world to protect the cities of the world. But for some reason, the City God who has moved to the city has not appeared yet... until some time ago." Liu Yin explained to Du Ximiao patiently.

"Suddenly one day, this painting spread all over the city. Perhaps seeing that the owner of the painting had gained both fame and fortune, everyone began to follow suit. Everyone began to imitate the painting, and rumors spread that the artifact could fulfill wishes."

Everyone felt that there must be someone behind the painting, and that making wishes come true, although obviously a scam, was what everyone wished for.

Huo Feng was puzzled: "What happened to this city before? We saw many scenes of magic fighting, and the mortals who were affected by the magic were displaced and suffered. Outsiders couldn't get in, and they couldn't get out... What kind of hell on earth is this? The city god is obviously here, so why did it create such a miserable situation?"

"I am also puzzled. I thought the City God would come out at the critical moment to stop the monks and the demons from snatching the artifacts, to stop them from fighting in the city, and to clear up the scam. However, he has not appeared yet..."

"Because this city has a close relationship with me, I took action first. I planted my own snake spirit in the mortals of the entire city, which can save everyone's last breath. But I didn't want people to notice, so I paralyzed everyone in the city, took control of the city gates, and concealed the location of the relocated city."

The incident broke out suddenly, and Liu Yin acted decisively to stop outsiders from entering the city and cast a spell to prevent people in the city from leaving.

The snake spirit planted in everyone's body will make mortals react differently. In their eyes, it is like a plague. When the plague is over, it seems like a dream, and many things are unclear.

Because of her limited spiritual power, Liu Yin could only control the normal lives of mortals during the day. At night, she created a false scene of prosperity.

Firstly, she could save her spiritual energy, as she couldn't control everyone all the time. She had to let everyone gather in a spacious area outside every night, so she could bring the spirit snakes to help repair the entire city.

Fireworks are a good place to hide information. They can conceal a lot of movements and prevent monks and other demons from noticing any clues.

During the day, all the painted pictures and bright colors that everyone saw were nothing but illusions beneath the ruins.

The people in the city thought that they had been living in peace and contentment. In fact, their lives had long been hanging by a thread, and they were in a place with ruined houses and heavy blood.

In the eyes of those wild monsters and cultivators, they saw the truth.

Secondly, Liu Yin was also deceiving herself. Deep down, she hoped that the city had always been the same and that such a ridiculous tragedy had never happened.

Although, she knew that this was no longer possible.

Wang Wei and the others didn't notice it either, because of Liu Yin's selfishness. She didn't want to be so incompetent in front of Wang Wei and get into trouble...

“Did I do something wrong…” Liu Yin’s voice became softer. “I don’t have the ability to protect so many people, but I chose to get involved in this mess. Now the artifact is in the hands of others, and I can’t really save those innocent mortals in the city.”

"Master, please help me!" Liu Yin grabbed Wang Wei's hand. "Although those people have nothing to do with you, I beg you to save them. I can only keep a breath in their bodies, and can only let them be like my puppets, turning into zombies every night... I have tried my best."

"The painting spoke human language and said it would fulfill wishes. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter!" Liu Yin denied. "This matter is also very strange, but I am powerless and have no intention of pursuing it. Maybe the painter himself knows more."

Wang Wei seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond.

Liu Yin is not only a fool, but also a fool with a big heart.

How did she come up with this weird way of saving people?

Maybe it was an emergency and there was no other way.

"How long can you continue using this... method?"

"... within twenty-four hours." Her body had reached its limit.

"That's enough." Wang Wei said.

Enough of what?

A hint of doubt flashed across Liu Yin's face.
