"Hao Yingxiong, why did you come out from underground!?"
Hao Duoyu swallowed, feeling nervous.
It was normal for Xiao Ye, the traitor, to appear underground and unleash demonic creatures...
But Hao Duoyu's presence underground was perplexing.
He racked his brain, "I detected demonic creatures underground and, fearing they might endanger innocent people, I wanted to investigate."
Fortunately, Xiao Ye's memories only contained his own emergence from underground...
Hao Duoyu could still salvage the situation with his righteous expression.
The elders' gazes were sharp; these were powerful individuals with AA+ strength.
They captured Hao Duoyu's facial expressions.
The elders asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"
"My heart is dedicated to all citizens of Blue Star, and I am willing to sacrifice my life!"
Hao Duoyu cursed Xiao Ye internally.
If not for Xiao Ye, his positive image would not have been affected at all.
But because of those brief memory fragments, so many eyes now looked at him with doubt.
Ye Qingrou, wanting to rescue Xiao Ye, grabbed Hao Duoyu and questioned him, "Then why didn't you confront the demonic creatures and instead wanted to kill Brother Xiao?"
Naturally, it was because Xiao Ye obstructed his plan!
The moment he released the dragon demon, Xiao Ye began fighting it.
However, Hao Duoyu would never tell the truth about this.
He would be the one facing punishment on the execution platform!
Cold sweat soaked Hao Duoyu's clothes as he faced Ye Qingrou's aggressive gaze.
He feigned composure, "I thought Xiao Ye was allied with the dragon demon. After all, he was infected by a demonic creature. I didn't want him to commit more evil, so I seized an opportunity to attack, but unfortunately, my strength was insufficient."
The citizens of Blue Star saw Hao Duoyu's face filled with self-reproach. He regretted, "If only I had killed Xiao Ye back then, it wouldn't have led to the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands on Blue Star!"
Hearing Hao Duoyu's words, the citizens of Blue Star's eyes also turned sorrowful.
It all began with the dragon demon; on that day, countless demonic creatures had rioted.
It caused devastation on Blue Star.
It became the era of demonic creature infected individuals!
Their souls were evil and frenzied, stepping on everyone's bodies to become stronger...
"Hao Duoyu, you are lying!"
Ye Qingrou suddenly blurted out.
Hao Duoyu's legs trembled in shock as he looked at Ye Qingrou pointing at him.
"You, who would flee from a hyena, how could you have ventured deep underground and intended to kill Brother Xiao?"
Ye Qingrou looked heartbrokenly towards the execution platform, wondering how much longer her Brother Xiao could endure.
She couldn't stand by and watch Xiao Ye die, so she had to seize the opportunity to question Hao Duoyu.
Even if there was just a sliver of hope...
Ye Qingrou would not let Xiao Ye suffer.
Seeing Ye Qingrou turn against him, Hao Duoyu's jealousy surged.
He had been so good to Ye Qingrou before, aiming to win over this icy beauty.
Yet, this woman was now targeting him.
He braced himself and continued to explain, "I wasn't fleeing that time; I was going to find reinforcements. And venturing deep underground was my duty to protect Blue Star. Didn't you also rush over?"
Hao Duoyu's gaze shifted to the reincarnation cycle, prompting the female warriors to continue watching the footage.
Xiao Ye had beaten Hao Duoyu to the ground, and he clutched his head in pain, begging for mercy.
Hao Yingxiong's cowardly demeanor also greatly disappointed the citizens of Blue Star who admired him.
"Hao Yingxiong's face is swollen like a pig's head."
Hao Duoyu's expression turned ashen. He said, "Because I was worried about a surprise attack from the dragon demon, I didn't use my full strength when I clashed with Xiao Ye..."
The crowd couldn't help but roll their eyes.
You weren't clashing with Xiao Ye; you were being beaten one-sidedly.
However, Hao Duoyu was fortunate enough to encounter the arriving female warriors.
In the footage.
The female warriors saw Xiao Ye brutally beating Hao Duoyu, while the dragon demon beside them seemed insignificant.
They collectively intervened and rescued Hao Duoyu.
Upon seeing Chu Fei and the others, Xiao Ye feared harming them, and his attack suddenly stopped.
But the dragon demon retaliated with a strike against Xiao Ye.
His figure retreated in mid-air, suffering severe injuries.
The female warriors pressed their advantage, attacking Xiao Ye one by one.
The crowd saw Xiao Ye heavily injured, yet he didn't retaliate against the female warriors.
Then, his figure rapidly retreated.
"Xiao Ye's injuries back then were even more severe than Hao Yingxiong's, yet he left so dashingly!"
"Is this the disparity in the world? If Xiao Ye wasn't a villain, I might have fallen for this man!"
"He was just escaping back then; it seems he didn't harbor any ill will towards the female warriors!"
The female warriors also saw what happened in the footage.
They hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now, it seemed Xiao Ye had the ability to fight back.
He was so close to the dragon demon, as if to prevent the dragon from suddenly attacking and harming them!
Ye Qingrou murmured dreamily, "Brother Xiao must have deliberately gotten close to the dragon demon to avoid hurting me..."
Liu Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, "I think Xiao Ye wanted to use the dragon demon to attack us!"
The situation was urgent back then, and Xiao Ye's plan might have been disrupted.
Chu Fei and the others agreed with this assessment.
They had personally witnessed Xiao Ye's wrongdoing: killing his mentor, luring demonic creatures, and entering the reincarnation cycle of the female warriors.
Liu Qiaoqiao spoke in defense of Hao Duoyu, "Don't doubt Hao Duoyu. He is a hero of Blue Star, while Xiao Ye is a traitor to everyone. There's no comparison."
"If it wasn't for Hao Duoyu single-handedly restraining the evil dragon back then, perhaps more people would have died..."
Yes!
The dragon was restrained by Hao Yingxiong, allowing their loved ones to survive to some extent.
Hao Duoyu saw the people's gazes filled with more admiration, and his guilt suddenly vanished.
He glanced at Liu Qiaoqiao, an extremely captivating female warrior.
This ungrateful woman, Ye Qingrou.
He decided to accept Liu Qiaoqiao's unspoken affection and make her his woman.
Hao Duoyu grinned.
In his eyes, Liu Qiaoqiao helping him was a sign of her secret crush.
Liu Qiaoqiao inexplicably turned her head. Her speaking up for Hao Duoyu was purely because she wanted Xiao Ye dead.
"After Xiao Ye dies, I'm going to dig out his eyes..."
Ye Qingrou was furious, "Viper-hearted woman!"
The crowd could sense that when Liu Qiaoqiao's alluring beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Ye on the execution platform, her expression was chillingly cold.
It seemed Warrior Liu harbored a strong hatred for Xiao Ye.
On the execution platform.
Seeing the memory footage abruptly end.
Xiao Ye felt a sense of regret. [The memory clip from the gray grid ends here, not enough to completely condemn Hao Duoyu...]
[However, this amount of memory should have made the protagonist panic, right?]
He wasn't in a hurry to break free now; the show had just begun.
Xiao Ye revealed a dark smile, his gaze falling on Liu Qiaoqiao, who hated him.
Dig out his eyes?
Liu Qiaoqiao would likely never have the chance.
The system, watching the darkened host, felt quite frightened.
Should it try playing a Buddhist chant on a loop in Xiao Ye's ear?
