Chapter 57 She Doesn't Want Her Scumbag Ex-Husband Anymore 17
The entire Xu family compound was completely surrounded, and the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen slipped into Ji Huadan's bedchamber.
"Hua Dan, is what Fan Yin said true?"
Phoenix King's hands were trembling. He couldn't believe that the girl who seemed so well-behaved, who only had a few temper tantrums and was just fighting with Asong, was now his.
He really didn't expect it to be like this!
Ji Huadan glanced at the Phoenix King with a mocking look, and remained silent.
"Father, whether it's true or not, we'll find out by digging in her courtyard."
Ji Xiaosong didn't want to say anything more to her and took action directly.
Feng Fanyin angrily led Ji Xiaosong to the courtyard by the gate, with Feng Cangwu following behind. Looking at the place Feng Fanyin pointed to, he immediately recalled the scene he had seen earlier.
It turns out that many of their people had already been buried alive in this area back then!
Without further hesitation, Feng Cangwu swiftly formed hand seals. A powerful beam of magical light shot out from his hands, heading straight for the courtyard.
In an instant, the earth churned, dust billowed, and a huge crater gradually appeared.
The remains of Phoenix Clan members were exposed to the crowd. Some bones were incomplete, while others showed signs of their painful struggle before death.
A nauseating stench permeated the air.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Phoenix Clan members were filled with grief and indignation, and their angry shouts rose and fell.
"Ji Huadan, you heartless and wicked woman!"
"Such cruelty is intolerable!"
"You have committed such inhuman crimes that even being torn to pieces would not be enough to appease public anger!"
"You wicked creature, how dare you be a member of the Phoenix Clan! You deserve to descend to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Ji Huadan, your actions are outrageous. Killing you is the only way to appease the wronged souls!"
……
Seeing this, Ji Huadan finally broke her silence and burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha, so what? They all deserve to die! They're nothing but lowly palace servants, a bunch of lowly commoners. It's their honor to be able to cultivate flowers and trees in this courtyard if they offend me!"
The Phoenix King trembled with rage, pointing at Ji Huadan and roaring, "You have committed such heinous crimes, you deserve to die ten thousand times over!"
"So what? Can you kill me? I have two children in my belly. The Phoenix Clan is dwindling in numbers. As long as I can still get pregnant, you can't do anything to me!"
Ji Huadan's figure became increasingly ethereal. Feng Wang gritted his teeth, waved his hands, and injected a powerful spiritual force into Ji Huadan's body, forcibly maintaining her figure.
"Speak! Why do you possess the demonic seed? And how did you collude with the demon race? If you utter even a single lie, I will surely make your soul vanish!"
Ji Huadan snorted coldly, turned her head away, and remained silent.
Empress Feng stepped forward and said sternly, "Hua Dan, don't be so stubborn. If you confess the truth, you might be able to accumulate some good karma for the child in your womb."
"Yin De? Hahahaha..." Ji Huadan's laughter grew increasingly maniacal.
"I watched my parents fight the demons, watched them die to save me. They had accumulated so much good karma, how come they couldn't survive?"
Ji Huadan's tears flowed freely, his expression growing increasingly frantic: "I don't know when that demonic seed was planted! I only know that I guarded the dead tree left by my parents every day, and one day, I discovered that I had been corrupted by the demonic seed. I was in pain, I struggled, but what could I do? Could I possibly escape it?"
Her words didn't seem to be a lie, and Ji Xiaosong and the others knew they wouldn't be able to get any information out of her for the time being.
Phoenix King slowly closed his eyes, and in that instant, his face was filled with pain and struggle.
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with determination.
"Give these clansmen in the courtyard a proper burial first. As for Ji Huadan, once she gives birth to an heir, she will be dealt with according to the clan rules."
Upon hearing Feng Wang's words, Ji Huadan collapsed, losing all her strength.
Next, it's time to deal with Xu's mother.
She was the first to run out just now, and it goes without saying what she wanted to do.
Even if she tries to cover it up, it won't change the public's skeptical attitude.
"Father, Mother, let's go to the second place where demonic energy exists first," Feng Fanyin said.
The palace attendants escorted Ji Huadan away, and everyone else's eyes were focused on Feng Fanyin.
Xu Yang then realized what had happened today.
"Wait! This is our Xu family. How can you search us based solely on the testimony of a mere infant? Aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing an innocent person by making such a fuss? Even if Ji Huadan is guilty, you cannot trample on the dignity of my Xu family!" Xu Yang shouted, trying to stop the crowd.
Feng Fanyin glared at Xu Yang and said, "Elder Xu, if you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid of being searched? This matter of demonic energy concerns the safety of the entire Phoenix Clan and cannot be taken lightly."
Xu Yang's face darkened: "Little girl, stop talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that there is a second source of demonic energy?"
Feng Fanyin was fearless: "Elder Xu, once we find the evidence, let's see how you try to deny it!"
The Phoenix King said, "Xu Yang, if it is proven to be a misunderstanding, I will give your Xu family an explanation. However, this matter is of utmost importance, and we must not let any clue go unnoticed."
Xu Yang gritted his teeth, but under the Phoenix King's majesty, he dared not say anything more and could only watch helplessly as everyone headed towards the second place of demonic energy.
At first, Madam Xu remained relatively composed, but when Feng Fanyin led everyone to the spirit pool in her bedroom, she began to tremble.
Feng Fanyin walked around the spirit pool, then squatted down, gently touching the water with her small hands, closing her eyes as if sensing something.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and said to the Phoenix King, "Father, this demonic energy is very well hidden, but I have a way to deal with it."
After saying that, Feng Fanyin formed a hand seal, and a beam of golden light shot out from her hands and disappeared into the pool.
The pool water began to churn, forming a huge whirlpool.
Feng Fanyin shouted, "Rise!"
A huge stone slab at the bottom of the pool slowly rose up, and beneath the slab, a dense mass of black demonic energy swirled in the center of the pool.
Everyone gasped in shock. Xu Yang's face turned extremely pale, while Xu's mother collapsed to the ground.
Feng Fanyin looked at Madam Xu and said coldly, "Madam, what else do you have to say?"
Xu's mother's lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
At this moment, not only were the Phoenix King and others surprised, but Xu Yang and the palace servants who served Xu's mother were also surprised.
Who could have imagined that the hot spring where Xu's mother bathed every day actually contained demonic energy?
Judging from Xu's mother's reaction, it was clear that she understood the situation very well.
"Oh no! This is a passage connecting to the demon realm!"
Feng Fanyin's expression changed drastically; her face tightened, and her eyes were full of vigilance.
She quickly stepped back a few paces and then rapidly formed hand seals again.
"Father, lend me a hand!"
Feng Cangwu immediately cooperated, and the two of them emitted a strong golden light, enveloping themselves and everyone else.
"Everyone be careful! We must not let the demons use this passage to break in!" Feng Fanyin shouted.
