"There is a village far away from the Azure Crane Forest, and I live there."
"I am an orphan. I didn't know who my parents were when I was born. I was raised by my grandparents, uncles and aunts in the village."
"The people in our village are all of humble origins, and we stick together for warmth. Because of our poor background, we are often bullied by the surrounding forces, especially the Flame Cloud Leopard Clan."
"Two years ago, they suddenly came to the village and asked to stay for a few days. The kind village chief agreed. After they found out what was going on, they began to massacre the village and captured many people."
"They made the adults work themselves to death in the mines, and made 30 of my peers serve them in their daily lives. If they were not satisfied, they would beat and scold us, and even kill us!"
"I stayed there for more than three months, always trying to escape. Finally, one day, they went out, leaving only a few people to guard the place. I led my friends to escape, but we were discovered halfway through, and in the end, only I managed to get out..."
Ze Ling lowered her head, trembling all over, in great pain. Sushang placed her hand on her thin shoulder and squeezed it comfortingly.
"Look, the Flame Cloud Leopards has already been killed by your brother, Sister Ze Ling, don't be afraid," Sushang said with a smile.
Ze Ling pursed her lips and nodded.
"Are the Flame Cloud Leopards clan rich?"
Xie Feng turned his head, a calculating smile appearing on his lips.
"Uh... there should be!"
"Since we're already here, let's make some money! Little girl, lead the way, Flame Cloud Leopard Clan!"
"OK!"
Ze Ling realized what was happening, her eyes lit up, she clenched her fist excitedly, and smiled!
Stealing other people's money, just thinking about it is so satisfying!
The Little Sword floated over and, remarkably, grew larger. Ze Ling was Ze Ling first to jump onto it, followed by Sushang, and finally Xie Feng.
"Hold on tight, let's go! Yo-ho~"
The Little Sword made a whooshing sound as it soared into the sky.
Guided by Ze Ling, the group arrived at the Flame Cloud Leopard Clan's main camp. The terrain here was rugged, with sandstorms everywhere. On the mountainside, there was a village, and two strong men were guarding the gate.
laugh--
A Sword Qi struck!
The Sword Qi swept across, slitting the throats of the two men, who collapsed to the ground, quickly forming a pool of blood.
At the same time, Xie Feng, Sushang, and Ze Ling appeared at the main entrance.
The guard's death alerted the Flame Cloud Leopards inside, and dozens of them rushed over, eyeing the three men menacingly!
Xie Feng twirled his Azure Profound Fan, took a step forward, tapped his hand with the fan, and said calmly, "Let me announce this: from this day forward, your village belongs to me."
There was complete silence on the other side.
A moment later.
They burst into huge laughter.
"Hahaha! Who are you, brat, spouting such nonsense?!"
"Aren't you afraid of choking on your own words?!"
"No, they are human!!"
"Wait, that girl... Profound Butterfly's aura! She's that little bastard who ran away two years ago!!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion!
Xie Feng didn't speak. He raised his hand, and the Northern Nether Illusory Dao Fire surged out, engulfing the Flame Cloud Leopards and its companions. The terrifying heat instantly evaporated them into nothingness!
This moment!
The flames burning within the space were all azure-gold!
Soon, the flames subsided, and the world returned to calm. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding mountains had been completely barren by the fire, it would have seemed as if nothing had happened at all!
I waited a while longer.
No one came out of the village.
This means that the Flame Cloud Leopards clan has been completely wiped out!
Xie Feng smiled and took the lead into the village. The buildings here were all dark and gloomy, made of some kind of ore, magnificent and huge, yet very oppressive.
The village has all the necessary infrastructure, and at the very back there are three towering mines that reach into the clouds. Some people are working under the scorching sun, their backs bent.
They were the villagers from various villages who had been captured.
The Flame Cloud Leopards has captured more than just people from Ze Ling Village!
They were still engrossed in their work, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Xie Feng instructed Sushang to take Ze Ling to liberate the people in the village, while he searched around and found the Flame Cloud Leopards clan's treasury!
This secret room was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, weapons and martial Cultivation Method, and there were also large chests stacked high on the wall, all filled with Origin Coin! Stacks upon stacks!
There were also many crystal cards. Xie Feng easily wiped off the seals on them and saw the amounts inside. Each one was worth at least a million!
"The feeling of counting money is wonderful!"
Xie Feng accepted all the gifts without hesitation, stuffing all the gold and silver treasures into his spatial ring.
Excluding jewelry and weapons, just considering the Origin Coin, the total gain was 20 billion!!
Although this amount of money was insignificant to him, who had seen the world, it was a huge sum of money in the unfamiliar Origin Realm at this moment.
"Junior brother, your skills in killing and robbing are truly exceptional," Kong Qiusu couldn't help but praise.
"Haha, senior brother, you flatter me. This little bit of money is nothing compared to what you have!" Xie Feng fanned himself smugly.
"If I had your skills, I would have been the richest man in the universe long ago. Keep up the good work, and you will surpass your senior brother in the future." Kong Qiusu smiled.
"Senior brother's starting to be sarcastic too. He's just saying my money came from shady sources!" Xie Feng shrugged.
"No, I'm just lamenting my own foolishness. I never imagined I could accumulate wealth so quickly and in such a large way, instead of honestly doing business. Junior brother, you're truly brilliant," Kong Qiusu said sincerely.
"..."
For some reason, Xie Feng still didn't think it sounded like a compliment. Oh well, whatever, he's rich now!
Xie Feng smiled and walked out of the secret room. At this time, Sushang had also gathered all the laborers in the village in a square.
Most of these people were dark-skinned and thin, with hunched backs and faces etched with the vicissitudes and suffering of torment.
Despite being informed of the Flame Cloud Leopard Clan's annihilation, they still stood timidly, their eyes filled with terror and their faces showing numbness.
Sushang is human, and the relationship between humans and Earthborn Devil Creature is very strained. Therefore, for them, even if the Flame Cloud Leopards is destroyed, it is just one less thing to bully them. Perhaps, Sushang is the second hegemon!
In addition, there were four children, around seven or eight years old, mixed in with the adults. Unlike the adults, their eyes showed no numbness, only confusion and fear!
Ze Ling stood to the side. She had been away for two years, and she didn't recognize a single one of the people in the square!
The answer is not hard to imagine: in the past two years, people in her village have either died from exhaustion or been killed!
Xie Feng arrived at the square, looked at the numb crowd, and waved his hand. " The Flame Cloud Leopards clan has been wiped out. You are free! Go down the mountain and return to your villages!"
A moment of silence fell over the space.
A moment later...
The silent crowd stirred slightly.
Someone looked on incredulously, tucked his hands into his sleeves, bent over, and asked cautiously, "Sir, what... what did you say?"
