The people on the spirit boat jumped off immediately. Yu Sheng immediately went over and channeled his spiritual energy to raise the spirit boat back up. Fang Shengtang withdrew his gaze from the ground and looked at Yu Sheng.
"Are you tired? Can you keep going?"
"Not tired! Are you tired, Miss? Should we put Miss Liu on the ground?"
"No need, but you've gone to a lot of trouble."
"I'm fine, but what about Miss Si..."
"It's alright! The Crown Prince and the others will be careful and won't let anything happen to Xiao Si."
The conversation on one end was warm and affectionate, while below lay a sea of blood.
The monsters weren't just one or two, but in large groups. And since the passage was in a county, which was already densely populated, the casualties were even greater.
"Let me on the ship! Let me on the ship! Aren't you, Tianyi Sect, supposed to be saviors of the distressed? Let me on the ship, why won't you let me on the ship?"
Many people saw the spirit boat and ran towards it, shouting wildly.
"Wait for me, wait for me, I haven't gone up yet, I haven't gone up yet."
"Please, let me up, let me up."
"I don't want to die, I want to live! Let me up there!"
"Please let my little one go up there... He's so young, he can't die."
...
The cacophony of voices from the crowd made Fang Shengtang's face darken. She said to Yu Sheng, "Move further away. Staying suspended in mid-air like this isn't a good thing; they'll keep trying to come up."
Yu Sheng obeyed orders and piloted the spirit boat away from the county.
As the spirit boat flew away, the people stopped crying and pleading, and instead began to curse in a fit of rage, saying all sorts of nasty things. Gu Yanjin and his six companions, on the other hand, remained expressionless, like monster-slaying machines.
However, the young girls from Tianyi Sect couldn't stand it. The first one to tear up and retort was Wenren Ya, who, like Fang Ruotang, had grown up in a greenhouse.
"You people are going too far. We fought here to save you, and the Grand Preceptor was so exhausted that he fainted while trying to bring us here. And you don't know how to be grateful at all."
“You’re so capable, it’s only right that you saved us. If you had come sooner, so many of us wouldn’t have died. It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault that our family members died.”
The sharp roar startled Wenren Ya.
Wenren Ya froze, forgetting to even swing her weapon. Just as the monster's disgusting, sticky tongue was about to lick her body, Cao Yuedi swiftly chopped off the tongue and pierced the monster through with her sword.
Without turning her head, she scolded harshly: "Wenren Ya, are you out of your mind? Is this the time to be distracted? The people are ignorant, so just let them be. We have a clear conscience. Not all people are unable to distinguish right from wrong. Don't stare at these people. Look over there, at those who dare to pick up weapons and stab us in the back."
Cao Yuedi was over thirty years old after all. Although she had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill and embarked on the path of cultivation, making her look like a girl in her early twenties, her experience was something that a young girl like Wenren Ya, who had just left the greenhouse, did not have.
Wenren Ya snapped out of her daze, her round, apple-shaped face now filled with fear. Following Cao Yuedi's words, she looked in another direction.
On the same street, some people chased after the spirit boat, cursing the Tianyi Sect, while others, armed with kitchen knives and long sticks, hid behind Gu Yanjin and the others to deliver the finishing blows.
Gu Yanjin and his group would deliberately cripple the demons so that the common people could practice on them.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Perhaps, from this moment on, the gap between people is destined to widen, even if they are just ordinary people at present.
"Thank you, Sister Cao. I was out of my mind." Wenren Ya immediately calmed down. She was not saving these ungrateful people, but those who would hide behind them and struggle to survive.
Soon, she rejoined the battle.
She noticed that others were following her, and she followed suit, just like Gu Yanjin and the others, beating the demons to the point of near death before letting the common people practice.
It was both practice and revenge.
Although there were many monsters in the county, Gu Yanjin and his group were ruthless and quickly dealt with them, sealing off the passage immediately.
On the dilapidated streets, the corpses of monsters were piled up, and a foul smell lingered in the air. The surviving people stood numbly in various corners, while some who had been hiding at home dared to sneak out for a look now.
"We survived, we survived."
On the street, someone cheered first, and then a chorus of cheers rose up, mixed with joy and sobs.
Gu Yanjin and his group had no reaction to this at all. They gathered together and waited for the spirit boat to appear. Soon, Fang Shengtang and Yu Sheng heard the little mirror talking to itself, so they immediately brought the spirit boat over.
The group boarded the spirit boat, and many people wanted to follow.
Huo Zhige blocked the way, demanding menacingly, "What are you doing? We came to rescue you, and you think we're too slow? Now we're going to the next location to rescue others, and you're wasting our time. People can't be so selfish and vicious."
Although they ignored what the people were saying and only wanted to get rid of the monsters as quickly as possible, it doesn't mean they weren't hearing.
Huo Zhige snorted coldly, then said to the brother and sister who had been following behind him, "You two are quite good. Try to survive. If you have any difficulties, go to the disciples of Tianyi Sect. As long as you want to, you can always survive in this cannibalistic world. After all, we are all working very hard to repair this world."
The brother and sister were moved to tears.
"Thanks."
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the Grand Preceptor. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have had to travel all night."
Huo Zhige is straightforward and doesn't hide anything.
