Chapter 244: Blame Each Other

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A deathly silence pervaded the crowd. At this moment, it was so quiet as if the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard. It made people panic for no reason.

After a long while, someone swallowed his saliva. “Then what should we do now?”

“Even if senior brother Lin is controlled by the demonic qi, we should be fine, right? Moreover, we have been staying here and haven’t done anything. They shouldn’t be able to do anything to us.”

The companion next to him looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. He couldn’t help but complain, “Are you brainless? If the city gates are on fire, the fishes in the river outside would be afflicted too. Haven’t you heard of this saying before?”

“Moreover, it’s such a big matter. Even the City Lord and the Vice City Lord are implicated. Anyone who has anything to do with Lin Bai will probably not be able to escape.”

Everyone’s hearts thumped. “That means that we will also be...”

“Tm most worried that those people will think that we have connections with the evil demons as well. After all, we’ve been together with Lin Bai day and night.”

‘When the disciple heard this, he immediately became anxious. “They can’t kill all of us at once. Moreover, we’ve been staying at the Shao family temporarily. If that’s the case, could it be that the Shao family is also involved?”

Bai Xi’s expression was ice-cold. No one knew what he was thinking, “No matter what, we came out together with Lin Bai and came from the same place. Just based on this, I’m afraid that those people will not let us off easily.”

What worried him the most was that if the City Lord couldn’t catch Lin Bai, the worst that could happen would be to vent his anger on them. If it was better, he would use them to lure Lin Bai out. No matter what, the situation would be very disadvantageous to them.

Someone came up with a bad idea. “Then let’s run now.”

The people around him rolled their eyes when they heard that.

“Run? Where can you rum to in the inescapable net? I heard that the whole city has been cordoned off. You are not allowed to go in or out. With your cultivation level, do you want to force your way out? I’m afraid that you will be caught as soon as you reach the door.”

“Alas! It was all Lin Bai’s fault. If he had been honest, none of this would have happened. If he had not wanted to be in the limelight, he would not have been summoned to the City Lord’s Estate. If he had not gone to the City Lord’s Estate mansion, none of this would have happened. ”

Many people agreed with his words. In times of danger, the first thing one did was not to solve the problem. Moreover, they had been implicated innocently this time, which made them even more resentful.

“I just feel that Lin Bai likes to be in the limelight. Previously, he had pretended to be very powerful and thought that he was very impressive. He had offended many people just because he had some ability. Now, he has caused us to suffer together. Now, we might even lose our lives.”

Everyone sighed. Negativity and despair were wantonly growing. This place seemed to be a hotbed for the hatching of bad emotions. They spat out evil words and vented their dissatisfaction and anger toward Lin Bai.

However, some of the people who were on good terms with Lin Bai and had received his favor felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this. They could not help but say,

“Previously, when he stood up for us, why didn’t you accuse him of being in the limelight? Now, when something happens, you have such a big opinion. How hypocritical.”

‘When that group of people heard this, they became even more furious, “How can the nature of these two matters be the same? This time, the implications are very wide. Lin Bai has been possessed by an evil demon! When that time comes, even we won’t be able to get away with it. Just what kind of

bewitching potion did he give you guys to actually speak up for Lin Bai Like This?”

“Perhaps he was just pretending to be righteous previously. If he really had a righteous heart, how could he have been infected by the evil energy? As the saying goes, a righteous body is not afraid of a slanted shadow. Lin Bai is just a villain. That’s why he fell for the Devil’s words.”

“Exactly. I think he’s a jinx. It’s not enough to offend the Shao family. Now, he even offended the City Lord, causing us all to be in bad luck.”

The more they talked, the more indignant they became. If Lin Bai was here, without the City Lord and the others making a move, they would probably be anxious to capture Lin Bai and prove their innocence. They had nothing to do with this kind of evil demon.

Bai Xi looked at the people around him and his gaze darkened. “Why are all of you still arguing here at this time? Don’t you think things are troublesome enough?”

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

“Rumble!”

The deafening sound gave them a fright. The people who walked in were the Shao clan’s disciples. They immediately surrounded them.

The Shao clan’s patriarch politely moved to the side. The others also made way for him. “City Lord, they are the senior and junior brothers who came with Lin Bai.”

‘What was there to be afraid of? Who would have thought that this group of people would come looking for them so quickly?

Immediately, someone cried out, “City Lord, we were all wronged. We have nothing to do with a devil like Lin Bai.”

The City Lord’s eyes narrowed slightly. There was a sense of danger that was difficult to detect. He casually said, “Oh, I didn’t expect you guys to be so well-informed. Since you know about it so quickly.”

That person’s heart skipped a beat. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing. It was as if Lin Bai had communicated with them beforehand. His face was pale and he was about to retort when the City Lord’s gaze landed on them.

“Let me guess. Did Lin Bai tell you about his plan earlier? Did you know about it but didn’t report it, or did you want to deceive your superiors and subordinates, or –” his tone paused.

The City Lord’s eyes revealed a bit of coldness that wrapped around him. It was as if he had been cast a spell, and he couldn’t move at all.

“Or are you also bewitched, so you’re also Lin Bai’s accomplices, and became one of these monsters?”

No one had ever thought that the City Lord would put such a big label on them.

“City Lord, you must be joking.”

The City Lord stared at him and said coldly, “Do I look like I’m Joking?”
