Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

None of the villagers wanted Mu Yao to put down her sword. After all, she was the only one who would fight for them.

But there was something else too.

This lady did not seem to be as bad as the rumors made her out to be. If she was truly a demoness who only brought trouble to the country, why did she raise her sword to help the villagers earlier on?

They knew very well that this girl wasn’t a bad person, but they were at the mercy of the men in black. As such, no one dared to speak up for Mu Yao.

They all knew that they would die if they said another word.

All of a sudden, the pain in Mu Yao’s eyes vanished. In its place was intense coldness.

The once-loving family had gone their separate ways, and were now enemies. Their relationship had once been almost unbreakable, yet now, her sister was calling her a demoness!

Xia He was now filled with hatred, anger, and killing intent.

“Mommy! Mommy!”

At this moment, someone finally stepped forward.

“Miss Mu! You’re going to get us killed!” It was the old woman’s son.

The old lady’s son spoke first, “Young lady! Put down the knife! Haven’t you caused us enough suffering? If not for you, would we have been caught? If not for you, would so many villagers have died?”

After saying that, he turned to Xia He and asked eagerly, “My Lord, will you let us go as long as we can make her put down her sword?”

As soon as the man finished speaking, his wife chimed in, “That’s right, my Lord! It’s all her fault. Not only did she…”
