The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1156 - 264: Nine Heavens’ Lady_5

Pei Wenchen looked on coldly. "No matter how you quibble, it won’t change the fact that she’s a demon! Master, we beseech you to perform the ritual! Expel this demon’s evil spirit! Make her reveal her true form!"

Pei Yuan grew increasingly terrified, her mind reeling in fear as she watched Pei Wenchen’s mouth open and close, his face contorting with a sinister and fierce determination to condemn his elder sister to death. Her rage suddenly erupted, and with a furious shout, she charged forward, "It’s you who’s the demon! I’ll kill you!" Lunging at Pei Wenchen, she reached out to mercilessly claw at him.

Pei Wenchen, who had spent years in study and lived a life of luxury, was no match for her. Since childhood, she had practiced martial arts. Though her skills were barely adequate, her fear and fury lent her the strength to launch a deadly attack on Pei Wenchen.

"Ah—" Pei Wenchen had no way to avoid her, and was grasped fiercely, his eyes gouged, causing him to scream in agony.

"You demon! You bastard! You harmed my elder sister! I’ll kill you! Kill you! My elder sister never hurt anyone! She never harmed even you people, yet you’re always trying to kill her, always seeking to kill us! I’ll kill you!" Pei Yuan was utterly ruthless!

Everyone was stunned to see Pei Wenchen being held down with blood spurting from his gouged eyes.

"Wenchen!" Pei Zongli saw this and went mad, rushing forward, "You whore! Let go of my son!"

Pei Yuan, consumed with hatred, violently gouged out Pei Wenchen’s eyeballs.

Pei Wenchen screamed and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness from the pain.

Pei Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Pei Zongli, her hands dripping with blood, still holding Pei Wenchen’s eyeballs, drop by drop falling to the ground.

Pei Zongli hesitated with fear and didn’t dare to approach her.

Lady Zhu’s voice pierced the air, "She has been possessed by a demon! Kill her! Quickly, kill her!"

"She has killed! She is a demon too! They are all demons!"

Seeing the Imperial Guards approach, Pei Wendong took a leap to protect her. "Second sister!?"

Pei Yuan squeezed Pei Wenchen’s eyeballs until they burst and flung them at Pei Zongli. "Who dares to kill my elder sister!?"

Chang Yonglin, suppressing his shock, also watched vigilantly and protected her. "Pei Wenchen merely shed a couple of drops of blood; he is not dead! He meticulously schemed against General Pei and deserved this lesson!"

However, Liang Bing was unmoved by her plight, intent on seizing Pei Yuan, and then turned to Pei Qin, "Pei Qin! You still won’t admit that you’re a demon! They are all causing harm because of you!"

Pei Qin didn’t pay him any attention, looking towards Pei Yuan and the others, feeling a warmth in her eyes, "Well done!"

"Elder sister..." Pei Yuan sobbed. No matter the trouble they caused outside, their elder sister always staunchly supported them, even if they were wrong, she would teach them at home. When Pei Yuan was just a child, her elder sister took care of the three of them, desperately providing for them and ensuring they led good lives. She was their elder sister!

Liang Bing, pointing furiously at Pei Qin, was too angry to speak, "You..." He then turned to Master Duxu, "Master, please perform the rite to exorcise the evil spirit!"

Fang Liuming, however, refused to allow it, "The master is a man of cultivation, with his own spiritual discipline! If every person possesses a soul, does that mean any soul can be expelled and falsely accused of being a demon, leading to their murder?"

"Ordinary people’s souls are different from hers. Only hers can be expelled." Master Duxu replied.

"Don’t touch my elder sister!" Pei Qian screamed, "In broad daylight, you guise your murder with the banner of exorcising demons! You’re plotting against a hero of Great Chu! You will be retributed! Struck by lightning!" freēnovelkiss.com

The crowd also began to shout, "Don’t kill General Pei! General Pei is the Heavenly Goddess descended! She’s a hero of Great Chu! Plotting against a hero, you will be struck by lightning!"

The people started clamoring, with some shouting loudly at Pei Qin, "General Pei! You are the Heavenly Goddess descended! Tell them! Your cultivation is higher than that old monk’s! You can’t let him cast away your soul!"

Pei Qin took a deep breath, scanning the crowd for Mo Heng and those who had not yet arrived. She didn’t know what Mo Heng had planned, as he had been detained by Xiao Guangzhao. This Old Bald Donkey indeed had cultivation, and in his eyes, she was nearly impossible to hide from, which could expose the fact that she had traveled through time. If her soul was expelled, would she return to the modern era?

Pei Wendong glared hatefully at Liang Bing, "My elder sister has faced death to protect the whole land of Great Chu, ensuring the safety of all its people. You have no right to judge her!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Bing immediately invoked the Emperor’s divine decree, pronouncing her a demon that had borrowed a corpse to resurrect, and ordered that Pei Qin be executed immediately.
