For the next period of time, Liu Yuan spent his days rushing toward the inheritance site of the Death God.
He was currently filled with hatred, his inner rage having nowhere to vent.
He only wanted to gain strength quickly, so that he could make everyone who had bullied him pay the price.
It would be best if he could eventually capture Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others one by one, then bury them alive just as they had done to him, letting them experience exactly what kind of despairing pain that truly was.
Therefore, driven by this intense hatred, Liu Yuan rushed toward his destination like a madman.
However, he happened to pass by the village he had previously lived in along the way.
This made Liu Yuan ecstatic.
He had been framed by Yu Xiaogang and the others, and since the villagers had been powerless to help, perhaps they were feeling extremely self-reproachful right now?
Based on Liu Yuan's understanding of them, they must be feeling very guilty at this moment, and might even do something drastic.
Thus, Liu Yuan wanted to enter the village to let them know he was safe.
Unexpectedly, while walking along the road, Liu Yuan happened to see Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and their group from a distance.
Although they hadn't entered the village, they were still active in the surrounding area.
This forced Liu Yuan to abandon the idea of going back to report his safety.
I can only leave here as quickly as possible.
Staying here any longer is too dangerous. If I get caught by Yu Xiaogang and the others, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
I'll just have to wait until I'm strong enough to come back later.
Liu Yuan sighed, bowed toward the village from afar, and then turned and left directly.
As for Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others who happened to be passing by the village entrance, they were attacked by the villagers.
It was a child of about ten years old.
The child had a very good relationship with Liu Yuan, and could be considered his best childhood playmate.
Therefore, seeing Yu Xiaogang and the others from a distance at the village gate, he charged up in a fit of uncontrollable rage, intending to launch a sneak attack on them from behind.
But the child was, after all, just an ordinary person; such a sneak attack had no chance of success against a group of spirit masters.
He was quickly knocked to the ground by a punch from Tang San, his nose bleeding profusely.
As for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, their expressions toward the child became full of disdain.
"Isn't this that piece of trash from the village earlier?"
"What? We killed Liu Yuan, and you're not satisfied? You even dare to lay a hand on us?"
"Do you know that crushing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant?"
Yu Xiaogang sneered, kicked the child in the chest, and looked smug.
The child was so angry he gritted his teeth, wishing he could skin Yu Xiaogang alive.
"Hmph, leaving him alive is just asking for trouble. San, kill him!"
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned cold.
He was a ruthless person, so his style of doing things had always been to cut weeds and eliminate the roots.
Although the boy before him was just trash in his eyes, even a dog would jump over a wall if pushed too far.
Rather than leaving such a nuisance alive, it was better to just kill him.
After all, it was merely a single life; it didn't amount to much.
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Tang San prepared to act.
He was also a ruthless character; to him, killing was as simple as eating or drinking.
So, at this moment, he intended to poison the child in front of him.
"Forget it. There's no need for that with a child like this."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up.
She said this coldly to Tang San, her expression showing clear displeasure.
"Fine, then I'll give Zhu Zhuqing some face."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang finally relented.
He soon led the group to turn and leave.
However, as he left, Yu Xiaogang's face was full of smugness.
"Anyone who opposes me must die. You're lucky this time, but your luck won't be this good next time."
Tang San, thinking of Liu Yuan whom he had already finished off, also sneered.
"What's the use of having talent? You don't know how to judge the situation; you're just foolish and ignorant!"
Their backs soon disappeared from view.
The boy lying on the ground wept, his sobbing filled with deep sorrow: "Liu Yuan, in the next life, will you be able to meet everyone again?"
Of course, Liu Yuan was unaware of the scene unfolding outside Soul Village.
Ever since he left Soul Village that day, he had been rushing frantically toward the location of the Death God inheritance.
However, he was still far too distant from the site of the Death God's legacy.
His previous location had been a remote mountainous area, so even though he had traveled a great distance during this continuous journey, he had still not successfully reached the destination.
Instead, he had completely exhausted his own body.
After all, the journey was long, and he had no money for travel expenses. In truth, he could have chosen to steal or rob, but the principles in his heart warned him against doing so.
Therefore, upon arriving at Martial Soul City, the physically drained Liu Yuan finally collapsed and lost consciousness.
He fell right there in the middle of the street, yet there were not many kind-hearted people on the road.
It just so happened that the newly appointed Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, was traveling through, and seeing this scene, she spoke to the two Title Douluo under her command: "Gui Mei, Yue Guan, that child ahead, why did he suddenly faint?"
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo heard this and followed Bibi Dong's gaze, quickly spotting Liu Yuan lying on the ground.
They took a brief look at Liu Yuan and formed a guess: "Judging by his appearance, he doesn't look like a local. The dust on his clothes is thick, and his hair is messy and hasn't been washed in a long time. He must have come from elsewhere, or perhaps he was being hunted."
Seeing this, Bibi Dong could not help but sigh: "How pitiful."
She stepped forward directly and injected a trace of soul power into Liu Yuan's body, and soon, Liu Yuan's blurred consciousness began to clear.
He saw Bibi Dong before him at a glance and successfully recognized her; as a transmigrator, it was impossible for him not to know Bibi Dong.
"Eat."
However, after waking Liu Yuan up, Bibi Dong merely took some dry rations and a water skin from her Soul Tool and placed them in front of him.
Then, she gave Liu Yuan a single Silver Soul Coin.
"Keep this on you; you might find it useful in the future."
Afterward, without waiting for Liu Yuan to thank her, Bibi Dong turned and left without looking back.
Her silhouette quickly vanished, disappearing from Liu Yuan's field of vision along with Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
Yet, Liu Yuan remained somewhat dazed.
Looking at the food, water, and money provided by Bibi Dong, then thinking back to the actions of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others toward him.
This was Liu Yuan's own personal experience.
Those so-called "good people" had pushed him into the abyss, attempting to ensure he would never recover.
Yet, that so-called "evil person" had extended a helping hand to him in his moment of crisis.
Liu Yuan truly wanted to shout and ask:
In the original history of the Douluo Continent, were those so-called "good people" actually the evil ones? Or were those so-called "evil people" the true villains?
