Solving It

Boss Chen was already in despair when Ye Yun opened the door. Unfortunately, his entire body was restrained by Ye Yun; he couldn't even bite his tongue to commit suicide, let alone move. By the time he regained control of his body, Ye Yun had already brought him before the group of women.

"Ah!!!"

As soon as Ye Yun closed the door, screams of misery erupted from the room. Ye Yun didn't need to imagine how crazy things would get inside. Judging by the situation, they wouldn't be done anytime soon. So, Ye Yun gave an order for Gu Dahai to watch the place, handed Meteorite Copper to Gu Dahai to keep safe, and then left. The lair of a major gang would surely have many good things, and settling these people would also require a lot of gold and silver. He needed to search thoroughly.

An hour later, Ye Yun returned to Gu Dahai and the others, carrying three large chests with his object manipulation ability. The group of women had calmed down, and even the bloodstains on their bodies had been cleaned. Only Boss Chen's shattered corpse left in the room could prove what had happened there.

Seeing the women standing neatly at the entrance under Gu Dahai's lead, Ye Yun nodded and said, "Let's go. The sun is about to set. Let's find a place to settle them down first, and we'll make arrangements tomorrow."

Gu Dahai thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, I know a place where we can settle them, but the conditions are a bit crude."

"Lead the way. As long as we can settle them, that's fine. Tomorrow, we'll have the government send them home. For those who don't want to go back, distribute this money to them. It should be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

Gu Dahai was not surprised by Ye Yun's actions. He had seen Ye Yun's aerial rampage before. Although he hadn't had the good fortune to meet cultivators like Boss Chen, he had heard many legends. However, because those legendary immortals were too far from them, he had never thought of Ye Yun in that light. Now that he had confirmed Ye Yun's identity, everything made sense. After all, immortals possessed magical arts like turning stone into gold. Besides rare treasures and exotic objects, how could mere wealth catch their eye? It was precisely because he understood Ye Yun's superiority that Gu Dahai was willing to serve Ye Yun. Losing to an immortal was not shameful; on the contrary, it was an honor, provided you survived.

The place Gu Dahai mentioned was not far from Boss Chen's lair. Moreover, as it was nearing evening, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, allowing them to arrive at Gu Dahai's chosen location smoothly.

It was a large courtyard house. Although it looked a bit old, it was very clean. Ye Yun asked Gu Dahai and learned that it was his property. According to him, he had bought it from a wealthy merchant at a very low price, and without using any underhanded means.

This made Ye Yun very curious. He knew that although this courtyard house was old and located in a somewhat remote area, its size was not small. Even selling the land alone would fetch a lot of money. There should be no reason for that wealthy merchant to sell it at such a low price.

Gu Dahai chuckled and said, "Young Master, you don't know this, but there's a reason why that wealthy merchant sold this courtyard house to me at a low price. He originally bought it to build a mansion, but after buying it, he discovered that the feng shui of this place was bad. After he bought it, his business began to lose money. Coupled with his family's plan to move to another city, he actively approached me to buy it."

Ye Yun nodded. This explained it, but it had nothing to do with him. He then instructed Gu Dahai to settle everyone and left. He still had to visit other gangs tonight because he discovered that besides money, these gangs also hid some good spiritual medicine. From Boss Chen's lair alone, he had found five spiritual medicines. Although the grade of these spiritual medicines was not high, they were sufficient for him.

After parting ways with Gu Dahai and the others, Ye Yun returned directly to the inn. He took a refreshing bath and changed his clothes before going downstairs to order a table full of dishes. He had been busy all day and was already hungry. What puzzled Ye Yun was that although he had killed many people today, apart from initial fear and nausea, he felt no discomfort, and now he had fully recovered.

If he couldn't figure something out, he wouldn't dwell on it. This was Ye Yun's usual approach. Therefore, after failing to understand what was happening, he stopped thinking about it. It wasn't worth worrying about a few scum.

After eating his fill, Ye Yun waited a while. When the earth was enveloped by the night, he disappeared into the darkness with his sword. The various gangs in Heyang City were in for a terrible night. Those without major evil deeds fared a little better; at most, they were beaten up, had a few bones broken, or lost a limb. As for the gang leaders who had taken lives, they all met the King of Hell that night, without exception. Their treasures were also plundered clean.

With a local tyrant like Gu Dahai providing the locations of the various gang lairs, Ye Yun swept through Heyang City in just over two hours. Of course, this was also related to Heyang City being close to the Qingyun Sect and having relatively good public security. Otherwise, even with Ye Yun's formidable strength, it would have been difficult to clear out all the gangs in Heyang City in such a short period.

Ye Yun left all the looted wealth to Gu Dahai and his group. The spiritual medicines went into his pocket as compensation for his hard work. This was also the reason Ye Yun could persist. Otherwise, there were plenty of small gangs like these; even with the Clone Technique, he couldn't destroy them all, as where there was light, there would inevitably be darkness.

After leaving the place where Gu Dahai and the others were, Ye Yun rode his sword to the sky above the ghost house Gu Dahai had mentioned. What puzzled Ye Yun was that although the house looked eerie and occasionally ghost fires (phosphorus fires) appeared, there wasn't a trace of ghostly energy, which was highly inconsistent with a ghost house.

"Perhaps the ghost is just hiding too deeply," Ye Yun could only console himself. However, when he landed on the ground, he was completely disappointed because he discovered an extremely vicious poison here: Corpse Dissolving Blood Grudge.

As the name suggests, the Corpse Dissolving Blood Grudge poison would dissolve a person's corpse into blood. And that was indeed the case. However, it didn't wait for people to die before dissolving them; instead, the poison would dissolve whichever part of the body it touched. Just a tiny bit of this poison would quickly spread throughout the body via the bloodstream, dissolving a living person completely. It would also cause hallucinations in the victim, leading them to die unknowingly.

To find such a vicious poison here was no wonder the imperial court hadn't delved deeper. Even cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation found it difficult to resist this poison. Fortunately, this poison quickly lost its effect when exposed to the air, otherwise, this place would have become a dead zone.

"Since the imperial court has already intervened, then there's nothing for me to do here. I'll go back to sleep. I thought I'd get to see something like a ghost, but I'm disappointed!"
