Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Their Refusal and Her Decisiveness Chapter 749: Their Refusal and Her Decisiveness “I don’t have time to waste here,” she interrupted everyone’s attempts to speak.

Strangely, no one could utter a word; it was as if an invisible pressure were pressing down on them, preventing them from speaking.

They sweated profusely as their blood turned cold.

Who were these powerful individuals protecting her?

This oppressive force came not from a single person, but from a group.

Shenlian Yingyue smiled lightly, her heart warming at the knowledge that, despite her ability to handle the situation, they still chose to protect her in secret.

Xiao Yun, Shenlian Yinzhu and everyone would never let these people go easily after they bullied her.

“How can you be so reckless!” someone shouted, his voice trembling with a mixture of anger and fear.

“Do you have any idea what kind of danger we could be inviting into our midst?

It’s like welcoming a wolf into the fold without knowing its true nature!” The strongest among them, his brows furrowed in disapproval, shot her a piercing glare and tried to ignore the invisible pressure.

“You’re willing to risk everything on a whim?

Just because they appear human?

What if they’re not?

It’s like throwing open the gates to a battleground!” “You talk about danger, yet you refuse to see the truth before you,” she countered, her voice steady.

“Judging them without understanding is no different from casting aside a friend based solely on superstition.

Have you even considered the possibility that they, just like us, are fighting their own battles to survive?” Her words struck them hard, each syllable resonating like a bell tolling in the silence.

The heat of shame washed over their faces, the sting of reality cutting deeper than any weapon ever could.

Yes, instead of sending someone to check on the people on the boat, they had ruthlessly ignored their cries for help.

It wouldn’t be too late to dismiss them later if they were truly demons.

Her eyes flicked to Xuan Jing and the members of the Xuan clan.

She remembered that Xuan Jing possessed the Mirror of Truth, which could see through a person’s identity and disguise.

A smile flashed in Xuan Jing’s eyes, while the faces of the people in the Xuan clan appeared gloomy, predominantly filled with shame for some reason.

“I guarantee with my life that they are humans, not demons,” Shenlian Yingyue said, looking directly at them without flinching, affirming the truth of her words.

“Humph!

How can you be so sure?

You’ve been here this whole time; how could you possibly know their identity?” Not many people believed her.

She was so young; even if she were capable, how could she have this insight?

Shenlian Yingyue didn’t blame them for their disbelief.

No one would trust the words of a junior without evidence.

She wanted to prove herself, but someone interrupted her.  “Whatever you say, it doesn’t matter.

I stand here today, and I will announce that no one is allowed to open the barrier to let them in!” Helan Mei’s voice echoed.

She looked at the ancestors of the Xuan clan and everyone present.

Those who knew her nodded in agreement with her words.

Her relationship with the people of the Xuan clan and other forces here seemed positive; it was as if she held a very high position in their hearts.

“So, you won’t let them in, no matter what?” Shenlian Yingyue looked at them, especially at Helan Mei.

“I don’t understand why you insist on letting them in.

Are you plotting something?” Di Xiangcheng frowned.

Everyone suddenly looked atShenlian Yingyue gloomily.

Their attitudes and meanings were obvious!

If Shenlian Yingyue insisted on allowing the group of people on the boat to enter Sacred Island, they would chase her away from the island.

Shenlian Yingyue raised her hand, signaling those who wanted to support her to remain quiet.

For some reason, their anger calmed down, and they subconsciously listened to her.

“If you don’t let them in, I’ll leave,” Shenlian Yingyue’s response surprised them.

“Without seeing the coffin, you won’t shed a tear.

You’ll reap what you sow, so don’t hold us accountable for the consequences,” Helan Mei smiled evilly.

Shenlian Yingyue’s stunning visage remained devoid of emotion as she abruptly turned and walked away.

Initially, she had intended to present them with a solution to their demon-related issues, but after witnessing their harshness toward her and their selfish nature, she decided it was best to leave.

The others seemed to believe that her presence or absence made no difference; her departure was more of an afterthought, as if the exit of such an insignificant character held no impact on their affairs.

“Are you betraying the righteous path?” Helan Xiu stood in front of Shenlian Yingyue, blocking her way.

“If I were to stray from the righteous path someday, it would be because I refuse to align myself with someone as peculiar as you,” Shenlian Yingyue’s words rang out, seemingly innocuous.

Yet, the more they pondered it, the harder it became to suppress their laughter.

Was she implying that Helan Xiu was merely a foolish pig, falsely accusing others to feed her own vanity?

“You…you!!!” Helan Xiu’s face was full of shame and anger.

Just as the crowd prepared to chuckle, an unexpected interruption shattered the lighthearted mood.

“I remember, you are that ugly monster who caused trouble at my seventh royal sister’s wedding a year ago!” the Sixteenth Prince of the Di clan exclaimed, suddenly rushing to point his finger at her while enjoying a snack with his royal brothers and sisters.

Everyone felt uneasy.

But soon, people began to recognize her.

Without the witchcraft curse, her beauty was so striking that no one associated her with the person who had created chaos at Ji Fulin’s and Di Xiuyu’s wedding a year ago.

As such, everyone felt even more contemptuous toward her.

She had dared to slap the Ji Emperor, offend the sixth princess, Di Xiangcheng, and insult the Young Misses from the Helan clan.

The Ji Emperor imprisoned her and ‘tortured’ her.

Her bad reputation spread quickly, leading everyone who hadn’t attended the royal wedding to picture her as a shrew, a country bumpkin, an ignorant fool, and a vicious woman.

Someone had deliberately spread false news about her, portraying her as a bully.

She successfully became a vicious villainess in everyone’s eyes, while Helan Yi, Helan Xiu, and those who had bullied her and her “baby angels” were seen as the pitiful victims.

Only those who participated in the royal wedding admired her courage and the mindset she displayed in speaking on their behalf.

“Di Yutong, shut up!” one of the princesses from the Di clan, who admired Shenlian Yingyue, scolded her royal brother.

“Fifth Royal Sister, did I say something wrong?” Di Yutong seemed oblivious to the fact that his unintentional words had caused Shenlian Yingyue great trouble.
