Several Vengeful Spirits that had already taken physical form flew past outside the barrier around the small mountain.
However, because the formation concealed it, those Vengeful Spirits failed to discover that living people still existed within the mountain.
Miyano Akemi looked up at the sky, her legs trembling with fear as she stepped forward and asked, "Can you deal with what's happening outside? If this continues, everyone in the island nation will... will die!"
Nia and Kurumi had long since ceased to be human. Though kindness still remained in their hearts, they would not blindly extend goodwill to others.
As for Duanmu Yan, although he had always aimed to protect humanity, this matter put him in a difficult position.
The people slaughtering outside were those who had died under the island nation's persecution. Most of them were compatriots from Republican China. They could hardly ask General Duanmu to fight his own ancestors!
If he had been the hot-blooded young Duanmu Yan of the past, he might have hesitated somewhat. But he was already in his forties now, and his personality had become far more composed.
Miyano Shiho glanced at her sister and could not help reminding her, "How many times have I said it? These are sins the island nation committed in the past. Even we count among those who deserve retribution."
In truth, Miyano Shiho had previously asked the people in the group whether anyone would be willing to come and help resolve the severe crisis here.
Those capable of handling it, such as Demon Lord Chonglou and Yuwen Tuo, simply had no interest in paying attention to an island nation burdened with countless crimes.
People like Hiratsuka Shizuka, who wanted to help but lacked sufficient strength, would likely be left without even their souls if they got involved.
