So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 63 Kill the Poisonous Woman!

汰！

Jiang Musheng was startled the moment she saw Pi Yanzi.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not a real person, but a kneeling white jade woman statue.

Because of the dim lighting and the cold white color of the stone, it looks almost like a real person at first glance.

"That scared me to death."

"Why is such a disgusting thing placed here?"

Jiang Mu was puzzled.

Seeing a torch leaning against the wall, he took out a tinderbox and lit it.

The flickering flames of the disc player dispelled the darkness.

Jiang Mu finds herself in a secret passageway.

The statue was surrounded by eerie blood-red runes, and dark red bloodstains ran along the grooves in the ground, extending deep into the passage.

Clearly, this place was once a site of demon sacrifice.

To prevent any formidable demons lurking deep within, Jiang Mu took precautions and left the "Shadow Demon One" anchor point at the entrance. Only then, carrying a torch, did he cautiously proceed along the secret passage.

The tunnel was not long, and at the end was a spacious stone chamber.

The stone chamber was piled with many ruins.

Some were already skeletonized, while others still looked fresh, and it was still possible to vaguely identify them as children's corpses.

Jiang Mu was deeply shocked:

"What's going on? Is the raccoon demon not completely dead? Or has a new demon taken over this place?"

He suppressed his anger and stepped forward to investigate.

Without exception, all of these corpses had a bloody hole in their chests.

My heart has been hollowed out.

He soon discovered another hidden stone door.

Push it away carefully.

The firelight rushed in, illuminating the small space behind the door.

But there were several emaciated children huddled in a corner, their wrists and ankles chained together.

These children had sallow complexions and vacant eyes.

Faced with Jiang Mu, who barged in wielding a torch, most of the children just shrank back, too weak to even cry out.

Only a boy who looked about seven or eight years old struggled to crawl out from the corner and stood in front of an even smaller child.

He raised his dirty little face and pleaded in a trembling voice:

"Uncle, are you here to eat us? Could you... just eat me? Please, please spare my brother..."

Jiang Mu stared blankly at this scene.

An indescribable chill shot up his spine to the top of his head, then transformed into a raging fury that surged wildly within his chest.

His fingers clicked as he gripped the knife hilt.

"call……"

Jiang Mu took a deep breath, about to speak to comfort him.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the passageway outside.

Someone's coming!

Jiang Mu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly closed the stone door.

At the same time, he activated the Concealing Breath Domino in his arms, and with a flash, he stuck to a dark corner in the shadows.

A moment later, a man dressed in a gray robe walked in.

He looks to be in his thirties and has an average appearance.

He walked to the stone door where the children were imprisoned and reached out to pull the bolt.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the door—

From the shadows, a leg, carrying a sharp gust of wind, kicked straight at his waist and abdomen.

The gray-robed man was startled and reacted quickly, twisting his body and dodging away.

But they still couldn't avoid it.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The gray-robed man was sent flying, crashing violently into the stone wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He stared in horror at Jiang Mu, who emerged from the shadows: "Who are you? How did you get in?!"

"people?"

Jiang Mu frowned.

He did not sense any demonic aura emanating from the other party.

The gray-robed man recognized Jiang Mu's Demon Slayer official robes and his expression changed drastically. He immediately threw an iron ball from his sleeve and smashed it to the ground.

Iron Egg explodes!

Thick smoke and dust instantly filled the entire stone chamber.

The gray-robed man rushed to the hidden door at the exit with incredible speed and expertly tapped on a spot on the wall.

The hidden door opens.

The man in the gray robe was overjoyed and buried his head, ready to rush out.

The next moment, he was dumbfounded.

Outside the door, Jiang Mu stood there with her arms crossed, looking at him indifferently, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"twin?!"

The gray-robed man's mind was a complete mess.

Before he could react, Jiang Mu kicked him in the stomach.

The gray-robed man was sent flying backward again, crashing heavily against the wall.

This time, he couldn't even let out a scream.

He struggled to get up, but was lifted up by the back of his collar like a dead dog and then slammed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow flashed.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The gray-robed man let out a shrill scream, his right calf twisted into a bizarre angle, white bone piercing through flesh, blood gushing out.

Jiang Mu remained expressionless and stepped on his left leg again.

Why are these children being arrested?

The gray-robed man was in so much pain that his face was covered in cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"He has backbone."

"Snap!"

"ah!!"

My left leg was also broken.

Jiang Mu lifted her toes, this time hovering between the gray-robed man's legs.

"Don't make me ask a third time."

The gray-robed man looked at his toes hanging over his manhood, and his mental defenses crumbled instantly.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"Yes, Madam! I'm here on your behalf!"

"Which lady?" Jiang Mu asked without moving her toes.

The gray-robed man stammered, "It's...it's the Chang family...Young Master Chang's concubine, Madam Liu."

"Changfu?"

Jiang Mu was somewhat unfamiliar with this name.

"Why is Madam Liu capturing these children?"

"I...I'm not quite sure either..."

"Snap!"

"Aww!!!"

The gray-robed man's body was bent over like a shrimp, a complete disaster.

Jiang Mu stepped on his chest again, applying slight pressure: "This is the last chance."

With the shadow of death looming, the gray-robed man completely broke down:

"Madam...Madam is unwell and has difficulty conceiving. She...in order to bear a child for Young Master Chang, solidify her position, and compete for the title of principal wife, she sought a folk remedy from a demon surnamed Huang..."

It is said that as long as a virgin's heart is used as a medicinal ingredient, and a secret medicine is used to refine the "Mother and Child Pill", taking it will guarantee the pregnancy of a male fetus...

Is it possible for someone to harm other children's lives so that they can have their own?

Jiang Mu's eyes grew increasingly cold.

What a vicious woman!

Just then, hurried footsteps and shouts came from outside.

It was clearly the gray-robed man's screams that attracted the attention of the Demon Slayers patrolling nearby.

Wang Ershang led several of his men into the abandoned house, and was stunned by the scene inside:

"Master Jiang? This is...?"

Jiang Mu pointed to the stone gate: "There are still surviving children inside. Let's go rescue them first."

Wang Ershang's expression changed, and he immediately led his men into the secret passage.

When he and his men carried the weak children out, everyone's faces were filled with shock and barely suppressed anger.

The scenes inside were too cruel.

Even though they had fought monsters for years and were used to bloodshed, they had rarely encountered such heinous atrocities.

Wang Ershang approached Jiang Mu: "Hall Master Jiang, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Mu briefly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing "Chang Mansion," Wang Ershang's originally angry expression turned ugly.

"Master Jiang, this Chang residence belongs to General Chang Lie. The young master Chang is his only son, who serves in the army and is currently suppressing a rebellion in Yancheng."

He paused, then said:

"When General Chang Lie was young, he defeated 60,000 barbarian cavalry with only 3,000 men in Wolf Valley, which made him famous. He then guarded the border for more than 30 years and his prestige was not low."

Jiang Mu, expressionless, asked the gray-robed man on the ground, "Is that Madam Liu currently at the Chang residence?"

"No...it's not here..."

The gray-robed man was in so much pain that he was delirious, and answered instinctively.

"The lady is in the third courtyard of Qinghuai Lane. Tonight is the last time I'll use the medicinal ingredient; I need to take the child there..."

Jiang Mu said to Wang Ershang:

"Seal off the scene, collect evidence, and imprison this person in the Demon Slayer Bureau's prison under strict guard."

Having said that, he picked up the knife, turned around, and walked out.

"Hall Master Jiang!"

Wang Ershang was startled and quickly called out.

Jiang Mu's steps did not stop:

"Don't worry, according to the rules, I will give half of the credit for this case to your Third Division."

Wang Ershang hurriedly asked, "Are you going to slay a demon?"

"Do not slay demons."

Wang Ershang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Jiang Mu's icy voice came from the wind:

"Kill that slut!"
