The captain reported the situation truthfully.
"That's the situation. The suspect is on the run, and we've already sent people to chase him."
They were all women, including children and pregnant women; they couldn't go far.
"In addition, I suspect that the entire village is involved in human trafficking, and I have applied to establish a special task force."
"approve."
"Waaah...waaah..."
The sirens echoed through the empty valley, and the fleeing group came to a halt.
"The police are here, we... can't leave."
The group, who had just begun their killing spree, showed no panic or fear upon hearing the police sirens, for they had been prepared all along.
They knew that even if they went out, they would still be caught.
But so what?
They avenged their blood feud and killed the devil with their own hands. So what if they have to go to jail?
Compared to this place, where isn't paradise?
At least they have dignity, human rights, and can see their parents.
They were just a little... unwilling to accept it.
"Alright, let's just leave it at that. Let's just wait here for the police car to come. It'll save us the trouble of going over the mountains."
A woman said with a wry smile.
Although they could have been rescued if they had held on for just half a day longer, they had no regrets about everything they had done.
If those people are arrested, they'll only be locked up for a few years at most before being released.
Not even that, because damn it, the law doesn't punish everyone.
Some shame can only be washed away with blood.
The world can't provide fairness, so they earn it with their own hands, even at the cost of it.
Because only when the demon dies can they wake up from their nightmare.
The sirens grew closer, and the women stood hand in hand by the roadside, awaiting their fate.
Qi An suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Damn it, why am I so frustrated!
She is not human, nor does she understand human rules.
In her world, there is only one rule: to repay kindness and avenge wrongs.
These frail women, too weak to even withstand her breath, swiftly and decisively killed their enemies after briefly gaining power, and even helped their companions while escaping.
The courage and responsibility they displayed were very much to her liking.
Tsk, I kind of don't want them to get caught!
Ata, who was spiritually connected to her, keenly sensed her displeasure and quickly pressed her advantage:
"Boss, let's help them one more time."
Qi An chuckled. This kid was acting all high and mighty just because he was a rare innate treasure. Right now, he was even calling her "boss" in order to get her to help him.
"Okay, but there's one condition."
"Afterwards, the soul power will be split 30/70, with you getting 30% and me getting 70%."
Ata: "..."
"...four...six."
"make a deal."
Qi An agreed without hesitation for a second.
Ata, the ancient demon king, is indeed a treacherous and cunning fellow. He would consider it a loss if he didn't gain any advantage.
Well, they are currently traversing some low-level small worlds where spiritual energy is too thin, making their cultivation progress very slow.
Qi An had been suppressed for too long, and his soul and body had been severely corroded by the black mist of the endless abyss, urgently needing soul power to repair them.
He was targeted by the Heavenly Dao and countless powerful beings the moment he was born. He neither wanted to be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao nor to be bound by those people.
Qi An was "treated differently" by the Heavenly Dao, which dealt him a severe blow.
As a demon king with the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast and who has achieved great cultivation, her physical body and divine soul are treasures that cultivators dream of possessing.
Therefore, they are now in the same boat, inseparable.
A stronger spirit is also beneficial to her.
I'm so angry that I got scammed like this!
Qi An had already planned to make a move, and now that he had gained an advantage, he couldn't help but feel even better.
The sound of sirens was almost there; just around the corner, you could see the fleeing group standing by the roadside.
The little girl clung tightly to her mother's clothes in fear. She had never seen a police car before and only found the sound of it terrifying and piercing.
"Don't be afraid, the police officers are not bad people, they will protect the children."
The police car finally turned the corner, and then... sped past them without slowing down at all.
It even almost ran over a woman's foot, but thankfully she pulled back in time.
Ah... this...
Why not arrest them?
Aren't they suspicious?
So many of them were standing on the roadside, some even with blood on their clothes.
Let alone the police, even an ordinary person would find it difficult to turn a blind eye.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, an old man drove his ox past them without even glancing at them.
An incredible idea popped into their minds.
"Mommy, he doesn't seem to be able to see us," the little girl's innocent voice rang out.
Yes, those people...can't see them...
They've been made invisible!
The group exchanged glances, their first thought being the mysterious power within their bodies.
Could it be that during these three days, they not only possessed immense strength but could also become invisible?
But wait, when they killed and fled, they clearly didn't have this invisibility ability.
Did a kind-hearted god help them once again?
At the same time, that ethereal voice from their dream echoed in each of their minds:
"You did a great job and didn't let me down, so I've decided to help you one more time."
“You did nothing wrong and don’t have to pay any price.”
But... but we killed someone, the villagers will betray us, and the police will find us sooner or later.
Qi An heard their thoughts: "Don't worry, they can't say anything."
"The nightmare is over. Go back to your families."
Upon hearing this, the women could no longer hold back and knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.
The bewildered child also imitated his mother, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Thank God for saving my life, thank you, thank you..."
They never dreamed that they would be able to return to their families in peace in this lifetime.
A gentle force lifted them up, and Qi An spoke again: "Close your eyes."
Everyone obediently closed their eyes, feeling as if their bodies were floating and a swift wind was rushing past their ears, as if they were on a high-speed train.
Less than a minute later, his feet landed on solid ground.
When everyone opened their eyes, they realized they had arrived at the entrance of the provincial capital's bus station.
Looking at the bustling metropolis with its endless stream of people, they stood there stunned, as if in another world.
The place I once risked my life to escape from, I can now walk out of in the blink of an eye.
Until I was sure it wasn't a dream, and that I was truly free.
They could no longer contain their emotions, and with tears streaming down their faces, they hugged each other goodbye.
They tacitly avoided sharing any personal information with each other, nor was there any need to.
It would be best if we never saw each other again in this lifetime, and that we could forget those terrible memories. That would be the best thing for each other.
All those words could be summed up in one sentence: the powerful belief that sustained them through their torment in hell.
"We...go home."
