Retribution

As the sun gradually set, the entire Lian Clan village had eaten and drunk their fill. This was a feast they had never had in their lives, and after being starved for so long, they were now eating to their hearts' content, which was incredibly satisfying.

I'm full now, it's time to digest.

Getting some exercise is the best way to digest food. What kind of exercise do the Lian Clan members do? Now there's something waiting for them to do, and that is—settling old scores.

Yi Yun's return made everyone realize that they had been fooled by Lian Chengyu! Lian Chengyu, he drank the blood and ate the flesh of the people, and everything he did was just to plan for his own future.

The people are starving so badly because of Lian Chengyu!

It's laughable how foolish they were to place all their hopes on Lian Chengyu and sing her praises.

Needless to say, the working class had already been oppressed by Lian Chengyu and hated him to Lian Chengyu.

They are only able to eat because of Yi Yun's help. Lian Chengyu is not only their enemy, but also the enemy of Yi Yun, their savior. Whether for their own sake or for Yi Yun's sake, they cannot let Lian Chengyu off easily.

As for the fact that Lian Chengyu was crippled, that couldn't extinguish their burning desire for revenge. Who would be happy to have their enemy killed before they'd even had a chance to avenge themselves?

Even those who were originally Lian Chengyu's lackeys now hated Lian Chengyu. If it weren't for Lian Chengyu, how could they have become enemies with Yi Yun?

If they hadn't made enemies, why wouldn't they have received their share of food today?

The people of the Great Wilderness have a very unique way of thinking.

Yi Yun doesn't distribute food to them, they won't hate him because Yi Yun's Yi Yun. The people of the Great Wilderness subconsciously believe that the strong should control the fate of the weak. They dare not hate him, because hating him would be useless.

But they're starving. Starving people need a scapegoat to vent their anger, and that scapegoat can only be the weak. And who is the weak? It's obvious— Lian Chengyu, this former master who has been deposed, took their food to exchange for barren bones, and ended up in utter defeat, failing to fulfill any of his promises, leaving them to starve now!

Therefore, whether they were ordinary citizens or former lackeys of Lian Chengyu, the focus of everyone's anger turned to Lian Chengyu, Lian Chengyu had aroused public wrath!

That very night, a group of angry villagers stormed into the Clan Elder' compound, seeking revenge on Lian Chengyu. Their way of venting their anger was direct and simple: they threw cow dung into Lian Chengyu's house!

They all believed that Lian Chengyu had brought bad luck and misfortune to the Lian Clan. If it weren't for Lian Chengyu, how could so many villagers have starved to death? Using cow dung to remove this bad luck was necessary!

In fact, the village's oxen have long since disappeared, and the amount of cow dung stored is also limited.

What if there wasn't enough to throw away? Some clever villagers dug up the dung of the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros from the Brocade Dragon Guard garrison.

The Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros go without food or water, and it can also devour an entire tree in one meal. The dung it produces is truly spectacular! It can't be contained even by an oxcart!

Seven or eight villagers enthusiastically brought over the dung of the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros. They were thrilled! Everyone thought that the dung of the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros should be more effective than cow dung, after all, it was Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros, more than a hundred times stronger than a draft ox!

So the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros dung rained down on the Clan Elder' courtyard, and the Clan Elder fled in terror.

The original patriarch of the Lian Clan was already ill. After Lian Chengyu was deposed and all his hopes were dashed, he fell ill.

Sometimes, people need mental support to survive. If that mental support collapses, then the motivation to live is lost.

No one could stop the angry mob, Lian Clan's Clan Elder courtyard was soon buried in cow dung.

Speaking of which... how could Liu Tie be left out of such a great event?

As a man who desperately wanted to become Yi Yun's lackey, Liu Tie would never miss any opportunity to express his loyalty to Yi Yun.

In fact, Liu Tie was one of the initiators of this siege plan. He was the most active among the group, and he was also the one who threw the most dung from the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros the most. He took a shovel and used it to scoop up large chunks of dung and throw them into the Clan Elder's courtyard.

Moreover, this guy was ruthless; he was single-mindedly throwing things through the windows, piling them up inside the house.

Lian Chengyu, who was lying in the room barely clinging to life, was almost buried in excrement.

Only then did Clan Elder who was related to Lian Chengyu muster up the courage to sneak into the Clan Elder' courtyard, braving the rain of excrement, and drag the already lifeless Lian Chengyu out of the pile of excrement.

After throwing away Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros dung, Liu Tie still wasn't satisfied. He roared, "Folks, set it on fire!"

The people of the Great Wilderness are blind; if someone takes the lead, they all follow suit.

So, torches were lit and thrown into the courtyard of the Clan Elder, and soon the courtyard was engulfed in flames.

Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed straight up into the clouds, more than ten times more intense than the fire that burned down Yi Yun's house.

Yi Yun stood in the mountains, watching the firelight from afar.

The same scenario happened again after several months...

Back then Lian Chengyu distributed grain; now, Yi Yun is distributing grain.

In the past, the wicked feasted while the kind were bullied; now, the kind are well-fed and clothed while the wicked go hungry.

When Jiang Xiaorou was attacked, cow dung and flames destroyed her house. Now, the Clan Elder's courtyard is under attack, and the dung and flames of the Unicorn Giant Rhinoceros are destroying it...

All of this is like a cycle of cause and effect; sowing seeds of cause and effect yields karmic retribution.

Yi Yun suddenly sighed, "In this world, good people don't necessarily get good rewards, and bad people don't necessarily suffer bad consequences."

If the world is unjust, then he will do what he can to make it more just and fair!

Yi Yun is not a saint, nor would he take it upon himself to make the world fair; such an ideal is simply unrealistic.

However, Yi Yun hoped that, at least in the future, he would not see any unfair things happen in his fiefdom.

Kind people are blessed with happiness, while wicked people are punished.

This was Yi Yun's simple yet beautiful wish.

The sun had completely set, and it was dark when Yi Yun arrived at the East River Waterfall.

The waterfall, with a drop of hundreds of feet, roars so loudly it vibrates in your ears.

More than half a month later, Yi Yun returned to this familiar place. He had practiced the Dragon Dances on the Vast Ocean Yi Yun, and it was also here that he met Lin Xin Tong.

Yi Yun closed his eyes and meditated, practicing his fist techniques one move at a time. He had changed out of his Flying Fish Robe and was now wearing a dry linen outfit. Every movement he made was pleasing to the eye and contained powerful explosive force.

After finishing his punches, Yi Yun turned around as if sensing something, only to see a girl in white standing gracefully on an ancient rock covered in frost, beneath a sky full of stars... (To be continued~^~)
