She quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, aunt, let's talk about the matter at hand first. Did the mayor force you to send these grains?"
When the aunt heard this, she shook her head repeatedly and waved her hands anxiously. "No! No! The mayor is a good person! He is a great good person! Please don't misunderstand me! Thanks to this new mayor, we Xiaotang Town have been able to make some progress in the past few years, and the children can occasionally eat a bite of meat... These things are really given by us voluntarily!"
She looked at the townspeople who had gathered silently around her, and everyone nodded along with sincere eyes.
The aunt wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, "We all know that it was you who helped us stop those man-eating beasts from the front!"
"Without you, we wouldn't even have a chance to survive in this shabby house. No matter how poor or difficult it is, saving this mouthful of food is our little thought... You must accept it!"
"Only when you are full can you have the strength... only then can you have the strength to fight those damn Evil Soul Master!"
Her words were very simple and did not make much sense, but they were like a piece of Shi Tou that went straight into everyone's heart.
Tang Shan was stunned, and his cheeks felt a little hot.
His sense of justice just now seemed so childish and frivolous in front of such pure and heavy gratitude and dedication.
He originally thought he was protecting the weak, but these "weak" people used their only rations to tell him that they were also "protecting" him.
Ye Guyi finally managed to persuade the agitated aunt and townspeople and agreed to accept their wishes, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and found that the ninety-six soldiers were silently watching the leaving crowd.
Some people had red eyes, some clenched their fists, and some lowered their heads and said nothing.
The scene just now made them feel so clearly for the first time the weight of the so-called "bringing light and hope to the world".
Eastern Front.
Lin Yaoyang's team went in another direction.
Go east from Spirit City and enter the hinterland of the Dou Ling Empire.
It's more dangerous here than the northern route.
The Evil Soul Master on the northern line are mostly small groups of scattered cultivators, but the infiltration power of Holy Spirit Cult may be hidden on the eastern front.
Fighting occurs almost every day.
Sometimes there are several Evil Soul Master hidden in abandoned villages on the roadside, and sometimes the caravans on the mountain roads are being robbed.
Lin Yaoyang never hesitates, as long as it is Evil Soul Master, one word, kill.
His fighting style is different from Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi charged forward, Holy Sword swept across.
Lin Yaoyang is standing in the most dangerous place, and he will not take over all the battles by himself.
He left the opportunity to the Red Sun Army's team to grow in actual combat.
He will only take action when the team can't handle it anymore.
Just one sword!
Where the golden sword light fell, Evil Soul Master disappeared into ashes.
Therefore, some soldiers privately called him "Lin One-Sword".
Because as long as the palace master takes action, he never uses the second sword.
After fighting continuously for more than half a month, Red Sun Army's taxi energy has been very high.
Because they saw with their own eyes some of the things Lin Yaoyang did, they changed from obeying orders to following them willingly.
After the war, Lin Yaoyang let the soldiers rest.
He walked to the wounded man, and a golden light lit up in the palm of his right hand.
That's Ultimate Light, the purest Light Power.
He placed his hand on the wounded man's wound, and the golden light penetrated into the torn flesh. The burning pain quickly subsided, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Palace Master, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. I won't delay killing the enemy."
The wounded man gritted his teeth and said that the cold sweat on his forehead had not dried yet.
Lin Yaoyang did not stop and said, "There is no rush to kill the enemy right now. After you recover from your injuries, kill a few more."
Golden Soul Power continues to output until the wound is completely healed.
The soldier next to him looked at this scene and felt warm in his heart.
The palace master really treats them as human beings. Not as tools or consumables.
Wang Qiu'er has been observing him.
The team she belongs to is under the command of Lin Yaoyang. She is the squad leader. She charges the most fiercely and kills the most in battles. She never needs help from others.
Her Golden Dragon Martial Soul gives her strength and defense far beyond ordinary people. The level 57 Soul Power is second only to Lin Yaoyang here.
She doesn't need to be protected or taken care of.
She joined Sun Temple just to see what kind of person this boy held in the palms of Snow Empress and Ice Empress was.
When they fought side by side for the first time, she rushed into the Evil Soul Master group and was possessed by Golden Dragon Martial Soul. The golden Dragon Scale covered her arms, and she shattered the protective evil energy of a Evil Soul Master with one punch.
She was so excited to fight that she didn't notice the two enemies outflanking her.
A golden sword light passed behind her, and the two Evil Soul Master were reduced to ashes on the spot.
She turned around and saw Lin Yaoyang standing not far away. Corona Sword had already put it away and was nodding towards her.
"Whoever kills you, don't worry about me."
Wang Qiu'er frowned and said nothing.
She doesn't need help, but Lin Yaoyang's eyes don't mean you need help. It's just that I happen to be here, so it's convenient.
After several battles, the same situation happened repeatedly.
Wang Qiu'er rushes the fastest and kills the most, but there are always some Evil Soul Master that pounce from angles she can't guard against.
Every time, the golden sword light would appear in time.
No more, no less, just enough to deal with the threat without affecting her battle rhythm.
I'm taking a break now, and Wang Qiu'er can't help it anymore.
She walked up to Lin Yaoyang.
"You don't have to help me every time."
Her voice was cold, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her pink-blue eyes.
Lin Yaoyang was treating a wounded person without even raising his head.
"I'm not helping you."
"I'm just killing Evil Soul Master. I'll kill them from whichever angle they come out. It has nothing to do with you."
Wang Qiu'er was stunned for a moment.
She thought he would say "You are my team member and I will protect you", or "Your safety is very important".
She had heard that kind of words so many times that it made her feel slighted every time.
But that's not what he said.
He is just stating the fact that he is killing Evil Soul Master, no matter where they come from.
Wang Qiu'er said nothing more, turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, he looked back again.
Lin Yaoyang has already treated the wounded person, stood up, and walked towards the next wounded person.
Wang Qiu'er looked away and an idea came to his mind.
This man was different from all the humans she had ever seen.
After more than ten days, the team successively eliminated three small Holy Spirit Cult strongholds in this area.
One is in an abandoned mine, hiding a dozen Evil Soul Master, headed by a black-robed man of Soul Sage level.
Lin Yaoyang led the team to attack from both sides of the mine tunnel, Corona Sword opened the way, and the golden flames illuminated the entire mine tunnel.
The man in black robe wanted to run away, but was nailed to the rock wall by Lin Yaoyang's sword.
The other one is deep in a swamp, surrounded by an evil miasma.
Lin Yaoyang Let the team wait outside the swamp and enter alone.
After burning an incense, several screams and golden fire came from the depths of the swamp, and calm returned after a moment.
The third stronghold is the strongest.
In a hidden valley, more than thirty Evil Soul Master gathered, led by two Soul Douluo.
It seems that this is the most important base for Holy Spirit Cult to penetrate into the Dou Ling Empire.
Lin Yaoyang did not let Red Sun Army's team attack. He divided the team into three groups. He led Wang Qiu'er and several elites to break in from the front, and the others outflanked them from both sides.
He was the first to rush into the valley.
As Corona Sword swung, the golden sword light was like a torrential downpour, and each sword landed precisely on the throat or heart of a Evil Soul Master.
Wang Qiu'er followed him, Golden Dragon Martial Soul exploded with all his strength, and the golden Dragon Scale covered half of his body.
With Golden Dragon Spear in hand, she shot one Evil Soul Master through the head, and shot another one away.
Seeing that the situation was over, the remaining two Soul Douluo level Evil Soul Masters desperately pounced on Lin Yaoyang at the same time.
Lin Yaoyang ducked sideways, and Corona Sword struck out with a backhand, cutting off the arm of the first Soul Douluo.
The second Soul Douluo took the opportunity to attack from behind and stabbed Lin Yaoyang in the back with a black short knife.
"Be careful!"
Wang Qiu'er's pupils shrank sharply, and her body rushed over faster than her voice.
