The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 152: Who the hell are you trying to fool?

"Brother Ming, you are really not playing around," Jin Long spoke as he wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips, "Have you lost control over your temper already?"

Jie Fu Lian once again swung his sword as he attacked Jin Long, but this time there was a white whip that had wrapped itself around his sword and stopped it from touching Jin Long.

Jin Long’s facial expressions rapidly changed. When he looked at the owner of the whip, there was a relieved smile on his face but that expression did not last for long as he cried out in fear, "H-Help me! I-It’s him! It’s that bastard Jie Fu Lian! He has returned!"

Jin Long crawled as he hurried over towards the people that had arrived.

When Jie Fu Lian looked at everyone, he didn’t even know why, but he suddenly felt the urge to laugh at this familiar situation.

"He also attacked Hua Gongzi and those innocent two who had come here to catch him!" Jin Long accusingly pointed at Jie Fu Lian as he shouted.

Hua Tianshu, Duan Luoyang, and Ren Lei had already lost consciousness by now so they could not even say anything in defense.

Jie Fu Lian suddenly felt extremely impressed by Jin Long’s acting skills.

If he hadn’t seen the truth for himself and had just arrived like the others, perhaps he would have also trusted Jin Long’s fake tears.

"Who the hell are you trying to fool...?!" Shen Chao shouted in disgust as he accusingly pointed at Jin Long and spoke, "You were the one who did this to them!"

For a second there, Jin Long looked to be stunned as he saw Shen Chao.

"W-Who are you...?" Jin Long stuttered out in disbelief.

"You evil bastard, your tactics might have worked on those three, but they would never work on me!" Shen Chao proudly exclaimed, "Your curses didn’t affect me at all!"

Jin Long tilted his head in confusion and this time, Jie Fu Lian could see that it was a genuine emotion.

As soon as Jie Fu Lian saw Jin Long’s face, he immediately understood the situation and couldn’t help but want to laugh a little.

It wasn’t that Shen Chao had remained unaffected by the curses because he was strong. In the first place itself, the curse wasn’t even aimed at him because his whole presence was unconsciously ignored by Jin Long and the master of curses.

"H-He is also working together with Jie Fu Lian!" Jin Long immediately changed his expression and shouted out accusingly.

The one with the whip who had interrupted their fight and stopped Changbo looked at Jie Fu Lian with an indecipherable expression and from his clothes, it could be guessed that he was someone from the Pheonix clan.

"Are you Jie Fu Lian?" The man questioned, his voice strict and emotionless.

"I am," Jie Fu Lian straightened his back as he confirmed it.

"Then did you do that to Daoist Hua Tianshu?"

"I didn’t."

The man nodded his head in understanding and looked at Jin Long as he asked, "What about you? Did you do that to them?"

Jin Long frantically shook his head as he strongly denied it, "There is no way I would do that! I do not even have the strength to beat Hua Tianshu in a fair fight! You have to believe me!"

The man once again nodded his head in understanding and said nothing more.

Jie Fu Lian raised his sword and pointed it at Jin Long as he daringly spoke, "I’d like it if you could hand him over. I have to kill him today."

"Is there a reason why you must do that?" The man calmly asked.

"Reason?" Jie Fu Lian repeated with a scoff as he spoke, "That bastard massacred my entire sect and hurt the one that I love the most. If that’s not reason enough then I do not wish to have a noble reason behind my actions. I just want to kill him because I feel like it. Am I not allowed to do that?"

Jie Fu Lian’s eyes were still red and the demonic Qi that covered him hadn’t dissipated at all.

The man from the Pheonix clan smiled as he heard this and calmly asked, "Do you have proof?"

Jie Fu Lian almost laughed as he heard this question.

"Proof is useless."

"Without proof, how can we believe anything you say."

Jie Fu Lian nodded his head and sarcastically asked, "Is that why an innocent man like me was killed? Because of falsified proof that made you trust a bastard like him?"

The man thinly smiled as he heard this and nodded his head, "That’s right. There was proof that made everyone believe him. So if you want us to believe you, why don’t you give us proof as well?"

Jie Fu Lian was still being controlled by his anger and could not think straight. To have a conversation in such a state was already a struggle for him. When he heard the man’s words, he could not help but feel as if it would be best to just kill everyone and get them all out of the way before ending Jin Long’s life with his own two hands.

Jie Fu Lian tightly clutched onto the hilt of Changbo and for a moment, he seriously considered attacking the man who stood in front of him.

Just then, Shen Chao spoke up, "Of course, there is proof! He admitted it!"

Shen Chao accusingly pointed at Jin Long as he spoke, "He admitted everything! He was the one who killed Jie Fu Lian. He is working together with the master of curses and this was all planned by them!"

"C-Crazy!" Jin Long exclaimed, unable to hide his shaken expression.

Jin Long turned to look at the man from the Pheonix clan and desperately shouted, "He is a demonic cultivator! Who would ever be crazy enough to believe his words? He is working together with that Jie Fu Lian!"

The man sighed as he heard this and spoke, "This is getting quite complicated. Young Master Jin Long, do you have proof that they are working together?"

Jin Long gulped as he heard this question and took a step back as he looked at the unfazed expression on the man’s face.

"Do you have proof that you are innocent?" The man didn’t seem to sympathize with Jin Long. In fact, when talking to Jie Fu Lian, he at least smiled politely but when talking to Jin Long, his words were cold and his expression was also blank.

"W-Why would I need proof? I am innocent! You can see it, can’t you? That Jie Fu Lian has lost his mind! He is a demon! Just look at his red eyes!"

The man nodded his head as he heard this and spoke, "I am not blind. The one standing in front of me is the demon king who is possessed by the soul of Jie Fu Lian."

"That’s right! He is the demon king! The demon king! He is trying to kill us all!"

"But that doesn’t mean he is guilty," The man continued with a sigh as he spoke, "In the first place itself, the demon king does not need to curse people. If he wanted to kill Hua Tianshu, he could have easily done it."

The man looked over at Hua Tianshu who was lying unconscious and continued, "If he is really Jie Fu Lian then I do not believe he would ever hurt Hua Tianshu."

Jin Long felt a little shocked to hear the man’s words and felt as if his plan was backfiring on him.

"You are all being fooled..." Jin Long muttered, almost looking as if he was on the verge of going insane, "You are being fooled by him! He is framing me!"

"The investigation has already ended," The man from the phoenix clan spoke, "And it was proven that the Jin Sect purposefully mislead the Yan sect case investigation. Your father claims to be innocent and has decided to blame everything on you. I only came here to listen to your side of the story. Young Master Jin Long, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Jin Long immediately understood that there was no point in pretending anymore.

Instead of giving the man a reply, he turned around and ran towards Jie Fu Lian.

Jie Fu Lian smirked as he lifted his sword, "Running to your own death? I like this version of you, brother Jin Long."

Jin Long stopped in the middle and felt a little terrified as he looked at the expression on Jie Fu Lian’s face.

"D-Do you think you can all get away with this...?!" Jin Long spitefully shouted, "I’ll kill you... I’ll kill all of you!"

Jie Fu Lian mercilessly attacked Jin Long, not wanting to hear him spout any more nonsense but Jin Long avoided it and ran toward the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Ming, I’ll kill you!" Jin Long shouted as he jumped into the abyss.

Jie Fu Lian rushed over to grab the man but he was a step too late.

Jin Long disappeared, leaving behind nothing more than the residue of a transportation talisman.
