Venting Fury

Feng Wuhen turned a blind eye to Liu Yong's pleading gaze. On the contrary, he found it revolting—so revolting that he nearly vomited up last night's meal. "Even if I don't kill you, you won't live much longer. This sword of mine will put an end to you, sparing you some pain. You should be thanking me."

As he spoke, Feng Wuhen slowly approached Liu Yong and said with a smile, "As for the things you want to tell us, there's no need for you to say them yourself. After all, who knows whether what you say is true or false?

How about we kill you first, then seize your soul? I may not be particularly skilled, but I do know a few methods to make souls tell the truth. Besides, Mount Grand Mystery treats people very well. We definitely won't let you be lonely—you'll have a great beauty as a soul companion."

Liu Yong looked at the smile on Feng Wuhen's face, a smile that seemed like a soul-reaping envoy to him. Hearing the anticipation in his voice, as well as the words "soul companion," made his heart suddenly stop. He then fell backward onto the ground, his eyes fixed wide on the sky, dying with grievance still in his eyes.

Seeing that Liu Yong had scared himself to death, Feng Wuhen kicked him twice. "After all the inhuman things he did, I thought he had some real courage. Who would've thought he'd scare himself to death? I'm truly impressed."

Bing Ling walked over and skillfully froze Liu Yong's fleeing soul. Liu Yong shivered inside the ice sphere. After tossing it up and down twice, Bing Ling casually stuffed it into a storage pouch, then placed the pouch inside her storage ring.

Seeing this, Feng Wuhen bent down and began searching Liu Yong's corpse.

I nearly forgot the most important step. How could I not loot the corpse? This old beast may have been rotten to the core, but he was still a Void Refinement Realm cultivator and the lord of a city. He must have plenty of good things.

So many people were harmed by this old beast Liu Yong. No matter what, they should be compensated. Besides, once Miss Bai and the others leave this place and live outside, they'll need money everywhere they go.

And when traveling outside, they must protect themselves. They can't go without magical artifacts. I hope this old fellow has enough at home to compensate Miss Bai and the others.

Shen Ziheng, Meng Hongying, and Qin Leyan had never considered this. Even Qin Xiaoran and the others had not noticed it. When they had gone out to train in the past, they had only fought demon beasts, explored secret realms, and sparred with others. They had truly never handled this sort of aftermath.

Feng Wuhen stripped every valuable from Liu Yong's body. Even the hair crown on his head and the jade ornaments on his belt were pried off.

"Brother, and Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I want to divide these things among Miss Bai and the others.

Now that Liu Yong is dead, they have regained their freedom. But they need money everywhere they go outside. I want to share these things with them and help them through their most difficult days. What do you think?"

Shen Ziheng stepped forward and hugged him. "I think that's very good. We never considered these things before. None of us object. I'll go inside and call Miss Bai now, then have her find the others Liu Yong persecuted.

"We'll divide these things among them, and while we're at it, ask about their plans."

As he spoke, Shen Ziheng released Feng Wuhen and walked into the house. After finding Bai Suji and telling her about it, Bai Suji was deeply moved. Her knees bent, and she was about to kneel to thank them, but Shen Ziheng stopped her.

"Miss Bai, as righteous cultivators, this is what we should do. We'll just have to trouble you to call the others out, so we can distribute these things and help you make plans for the future."

When Bai Suji came out and saw Liu Yong's corpse on the ground, she did not feel afraid in the slightest. Instead, she felt incomparably satisfied.

She nodded at Feng Wuhen and the others, then ran off to find her brothers and sisters.

The others who had been trapped alongside her did not believe her at first when they heard what she said.

But they all trusted Bai Suji's character and knew she would not joke about such a thing. So, filled with excitement, they followed her over. When they saw Liu Yong's corpse on the ground—

The more reserved ones covered their mouths and wept tears of joy, while most simply knelt on the ground, raised their heads, and wailed at the top of their lungs, venting all the pain and resentment in their hearts.

Feng Wuhen and the others stood to one side and listened. They did not stop their crying. Meng Hongying actually disliked seeing people cry; she believed it was a sign of weakness.

But as she listened to Bai Suji and the others cry out their anguish, her view changed. A person crying did not mean they were weak—it meant they had suffered countless grievances.

Bing Ling hated hearing people cry most of all, especially this kind of crying, which made her head ache. After saying something to Feng Wuhen, she began wandering around the residence.

After crying for a while, those people stopped. Some of the bolder ones walked over, lowered their heads to look at Liu Yong's corpse, then kicked him several times.

The others who had been oppressed by Liu Yong seemed to gain inspiration from their actions and all began stepping on him.

Liu Yong's corpse was soon trampled beyond recognition. Feng Wuhen pretended not to see it. Once they had vented enough and grown tired, he told them that he would give them money and set them free.

Upon hearing this, they were first stunned, then burst into cheers.

They began talking about their plans. Some decided that once daybreak fully came, they would take the money and leave, never to return to this city again.

Others planned to leave in a few days. They needed to contact their families and see whether they were still alive.

Then there were those who had previously spoken of being bullied until they had become completely numb. After seeing Liu Yong's corpse, the huge stone that had been pressing upon their hearts finally vanished, and they felt much lighter in an instant.

But years of oppression had long made them accustomed to such a life. They could not return to being normal people right away, but they would slowly adapt.

Bai Suji decided to remain behind and stay with the brothers and sisters who had yet to leave.

She thought that since those people called her Big Sister, she naturally had to take greater care of her younger brothers and sisters and help them adapt to life.

"Thank you for saving us, and for thinking of so much on our behalf." Bai Suji looked at Feng Wuhen, Shen Ziheng, and the others, then bowed once more in thanks. "We're truly, truly grateful to you!"

"You're welcome. If we come to Radiant Moon City again and you're still here, we'll come visit you."

"You can come anytime. We will definitely treat you well."

Feng Wuhen looked at Liu Yong's corpse on the ground, then turned to Meng Hongying. "Senior Sister, release Dawnlight and have him burn this filthy thing. Leaving it here is simply too much of an eyesore."

Meng Hongying liked that arrangement very much. She summoned Dawnlight and had him breathe a great mouthful of flames onto the mangled body on the ground.
