Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Moreover, Mo Yi used the alias "Kumu" in the human world, and Mu Changlan didn't even know who Mo Yi was.

Therefore, Chu Yang doesn't think Mu Changlan is a bad person, but she does have responsibilities she should bear.

"Miss Mu, I can help save them, but before that, isn't there something you haven't said?"

Chu Yang looked at Mu Changlan with a scrutinizing gaze, hoping that she would confess her deal with Mo Yi before the truth came out.

Feeling guilty, Mu Changlan was suddenly startled and instinctively exclaimed, "How did you know?"

Chu Yang said, "Xie Cangxing and the others have been with you for a long time, so they don't easily notice it, but to outsiders, Miss Mu's thoughts are all written on her face."

Mu Changlan clenched her teeth.

"Sister Mu, just say what you need to say. We've been traveling together for so long, we're practically friends now. Don't you consider us friends?"

Xia became somewhat sad as she spoke.

Mu Changlan said emotionally, "How could that be? I've always considered you my own sister!"

Xia asked, puzzled, "What's troubling you so much?"

Mu Changlan's expression was conflicted, but it finally turned into a sigh. "I did something wrong, and I'm afraid you'll hate me, so I dare not say it."

Relating to Chu Yang's attitude just now, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized something and said in a deep voice, "Does Miss Mu know the mastermind that Sect Leader Chu mentioned?"

Mu Changlan nodded with difficulty.

Xia covered her mouth in shock, retreating in a panic as if trying to keep a great distance from Mu Changlan.

Mu Changlan smiled wryly and said, "You probably won't believe what I'm saying, but I really don't know that person's true identity. I'm just exchanging information with him."

Xie Cangxing stroked his chin and asked, "What intelligence?"

Mu Changlan replied, "It's mainly about Xia Meizi and Jiang Cheng's recent situation, as well as Young Master Xiahou, but I assure you that I'm only passing on information and haven't done anything to harm you!"

Xiahou Jinxuan frowned and said, "It's one thing for him to be curious about Miss Xia and Brother Jiang's recent situation, but why does he also want to know about my affairs? That's rather strange."

"That's right, that's right! How come I didn't get any? Who do they think they are?!" Xie Cangxing said jokingly, pretending to be indignant.

Xia's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked out, "Was everything from our first meeting in Bixi Village a setup? Including you helping me deal with those thugs?"

Mu Changlan no longer wanted to lie, so she nodded honestly and said, "I hired those thugs to deliberately cause you trouble, and then I would step in to help you and gain your trust."

Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "I had long felt that the situation that day was strange, and I also thought that you had other plans, but I did not expect the result to be like this."

Chu Yang explained, "Mo Yi wants to expose your demon identity at the right time, so that you will be abandoned by everyone and become a lonely person, and from then on you will be at his mercy."

"The ultimate goal is to get you to gather the half-demons who have wandered the human world and forcibly break the seal located at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower of Mount Shu."

Jiang Cheng's palms were sweating as he listened. Just imagining that scene filled him with a sense of utter despair.

Mu Changlan apologized with remorse, not daring to even look at Jiang Cheng.

“Miss Mu, what Sect Leader Chu said was just a hypothetical scenario and has not yet happened. Now that we know everything, we can certainly prevent things from developing in the worst possible direction.”

Xiahou Jinxuan comforted him, saying, "Instead of apologizing for something that didn't happen, we should cheer up and find a way to make amends."

Xia took a deep breath and said, "The bookworm is right, Sister Mu. Although I am very angry, I have decided to forgive you. However, from now on, you can no longer hide anything from us."

Mu Changlan nodded quickly.

Jiang Cheng looked at Chu Yang with some confusion and asked, "Sect Leader Chu, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that I have demon blood in my body. The truth will eventually come out, and sooner or later the world will know my identity. When that happens, how should I face myself?"

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest you find an opportunity to be honest with Patriarch Ouyang in private. Patriarch Ouyang is broad-minded. Even if he cannot accept your identity, he will never make things difficult for you."

"If the Ouyang family's Broken Sword Manor can no longer accommodate you in the future, Mount Shu will provide you with a place to live!"

“Not just you, I can provide a place for any half-demon in the world who has not harmed innocent people to live.”

Chu Yang's bold words deeply moved the people in the side hall!

They could hardly imagine how much courage and boldness it took for the head of the Shu Mountain Sect to say such a thing.

These words gave Jiang Cheng some confidence and dispelled his hesitation.

Xie Cangxing scratched his head and laughed, "Although I'm really looking forward to Brother Jiang coming to Shu Mountain to keep us company, as a friend, I still hope that you can get your wish and stay at Zhejian Manor."

Jiang Cheng thanked him.

Xia said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. We'll go with you to explain. I think your master will accept you. Sect Leader Chu said that we can't distinguish between good and evil based on whether someone is human or demon."

After much deliberation, Jiang Cheng declined Xia's offer, saying, "It's better if I explain to Master myself..."

Seeing that he had become stubborn again, Xia turned to Xiahou Jinxuan and said, "Bookworm, you should try to persuade Brother Jiang!"

Xiahou Jinxuan had been keeping his head down and not speaking since earlier, seemingly thinking about something important, and showed no reaction to Xia's words.

Xia leaned closer and patted him on the back. "What are you thinking about?"

Xiahou Jinxuan was startled and patted his chest twice, still shaken, and said, "I was just wondering why that person named Mo Yi wanted my information? I clearly have nothing to do with him, just like Brother Xie."

Xia Dian nodded and said, "It is indeed quite strange."

Mu Changlan asked, "Is it possible that he actually knows you, but you've just forgotten?"

Xiahou Jinxuan said, "As Sect Leader Chu just said, Mo Yi cannot personally descend to the human realm, so how could he know me? Unless the puppet he controls has seen me before."

Jiang Cheng continued, "If it was just a one-time encounter, he wouldn't need to know anything about you. The most likely explanation is that you not only know that puppet, but are very familiar with it."

Jiang Cheng and Xiahou Jinxuan are both very intelligent people. From the slightest clues, they have found the key to the problem and are gradually getting closer to the truth.

Since both of them had guessed this much, Chu Yang simply revealed the truth directly, carrying on the spirit of spoilers to the very end.

"The two bodies that Mo Yi found during the earthquake, one was Xia, and the other was Xiahou Tao, the second sect leader of the Xiahou family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jinxuan showed an incredulous expression and stood there stunned.

He simply couldn't accept this cruel truth.

"How could this be... This is impossible!"

For the first time, the usually gentle and refined Xiahou Jinxuan revealed a hysterical expression in front of everyone.

Only then did he realize how desperate Jiang Cheng felt when he learned that he was a demon.

If someone else had said this to him, Xiahou Jinxuan would have called them a madman, but so far, Chu Yang has not uttered a single falsehood.

Xiahou Jinxuan and Xiahou Tao had a very good relationship. They were kindred spirits. Because Xiahou Zhang was busy with official business, Xiahou Tao took care of Xiahou Jinxuan's upbringing and education.

Thinking of his second uncle's earnest teachings over the years, Xiahou Jinxuan became even more unwilling to believe that the person was a fake, but reason told him that what Chu Yang said was the truth.

"Rumor has it that the second sect leader rarely leaves the Xiahou family due to poor health. He stays at home to manage the Xiahou family's business, and under his management, the Xiahou family's business is thriving."

As Mu Changlan recounted Xiahou Tao's information, it was equally difficult for her to connect him with Kumu (Moyi).

Xiahou Jinxuan still looked dazed.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master Xiahou, the most important thing right now is the safety of Uncle Xiahou. If that person really is Mo Yi, it's hard to say when he might harm Uncle Xiahou."

Hearing that it concerned his father's safety, Xiahou Jinxuan finally snapped out of his daze and strode outside. "No, I must tell my father about this right away!"

Jiang Cheng walked up to him, reached out and stopped him, saying, "Given Xiahou Shibo's personality, he won't easily believe these words, even if Sect Leader Chu said them himself. What if he goes back and confronts Mo Yi? Wouldn't that be like alerting the enemy?"

“But…” Xiahou Jinxuan could not refute, and could only say anxiously, “Then what should I do? I can’t just watch my father be in danger and do nothing!”

Jiang Cheng said, "As long as he feels that everything is still under control, Uncle Xiahou will not be in danger. We should proceed with caution."

Xia looked at Chu Yang with her big, watery eyes and asked, "Sect Leader, you're so powerful, can't you eliminate that guy?"

Chu Yang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Of course I can destroy Mo Yi, but how you deal with Mo Yi, or rather the Yaksha Kingdom, is up to you. Whether to kill or save is entirely up to you."

Silence fell over the side hall.

As Chu Yang just mentioned, the whole incident was caused by the depletion of the water veins in the Demon Realm. The Yaksha Kingdom only had two options: either repair the water veins or relocate its entire clan to the human realm to find a new place to settle down.

Although Mo Yi is ruthless, it was because of him that Xia was able to survive, and Xiahou Jinxuan was almost raised by him, so the debt of gratitude for his upbringing is still there.

Once Xiahou Jinxuan calmed down, he really couldn't bear to face the other party in a life-or-death struggle.

Xie Cangxing and Mu Changlan were outsiders and had no right to make a choice. In the end, the four of them could only focus their attention on Jiang Cheng. If Chu Yang hadn't revealed the truth, he would have been the most miserable one among them, and it was only right that he should make the decision.

"Sect Leader Chu said that we cannot distinguish between good and evil based on whether someone is human or demon. Regardless of whether Mo Yi deserves to die, the people of the Yaksha Kingdom are all innocent. I want to save them."

Knowing that he was a descendant of Chi You, Jiang Cheng was no longer so resistant to the demon race, and instead began to regard them as ordinary people.

Xie Cangxing said casually, "Since Brother Jiang has no objections, then we have no objections either."

"When did it become your turn to represent us?" Mu Changlan frowned and said, "Although I have no objection."

Xie Cangxing glanced at Mu Changlan helplessly, wondering why he always managed to make her angry.

Chu Yang's sharp gaze swept over everyone. "Repairing the water veins requires the Shennong Cauldron and the Water Spirit Pearl. Since the Shennong Cauldron is currently missing, you should take the Water Spirit Pearl to Mingzhou to find Mo Yi and have an open and honest talk with him."

"It would be best if we could reach an agreement. If we can't, I will still take action. I hope Mo Yi can be smart and not let his ambition blind him."

Jiang Cheng nodded. "Then I will go to Mingzhou first, and then I will report to my master that I am a descendant of Chi You when I return."

Xia and Xie Cangxing said they would also accompany Xiahou Jinxuan and Jiang Cheng back to Mingzhou City.

Only Mu Changlan looked at Chu Yang with unease.

Chu Yang said, "Let's deal with the matter of Twilight Village after you return from Mingzhou."

Upon receiving the answer, Mu Changlan breathed a sigh of relief, her face filled with excitement. The thought of her brother and everyone in the village returning to normal made her so happy she wanted to shout it out.

After explaining everything, Chu Yang led the group out of the side hall and back into the main hall.

When they returned, countless gossipy eyes fell on Jiang Cheng, all seemingly curious about his background.
