The group of people in the square were torn to pieces by the citizens, and each of them died a very tragic death.
Even so, the citizens were still not satisfied; they wanted to grind up the remains of these beasts and feed them to the pigs.

The next morning, in the Ye family warehouse.
Ye Ling put some of the supplies prepared by Ye Shu and the others into her spatial storage, and left some for Ye Jingyan to keep.
The Night Rat and his crew prepared more supplies than the Night Rabbit and his crew had prepared, especially agricultural machinery and equipment, which she stored in her spatial storage for the servants to use.
As for food and daily necessities, she left a lot for Ye Jingyan and the others. They would be staying in the capital for a while, and she couldn't bear to let them live a too meager life.
"What did you say? You want to split up?"
After hearing Ye Ling say that they would split up, Wen Mengxia and Mo Di both stared at her with wide eyes.
Ye Ling nodded: "My time is running out. Even the gods must protect me, but I'm still missing three of the Five Elements Hearts. I must find them as soon as possible."
Wen Yanchen grabbed her hand, his expression grave: "What do you mean by 'not having much time'? Has something happened?"
Although he had only been away for a day, Wen Yanchen could clearly sense a subtle change in Ye Ling's aura, which must have meant that something significant had happened.
Ye Boxuan and the others were also watching her closely. They also realized there was something wrong with what she said, but Wen Yanchen beat them to it.
Ye Ling looked at Ye Jingyan, who was resting on a wooden chair: "Should you speak or should I speak?"
Ye Jingyan said, "I told you, all of you, sit down."
After everyone sat down, Ye Jingyan said with a serious expression: "When Lingling was 13 years old, a Taoist priest appeared in the Ye family. At that time, he said that Lingling would have three life-and-death tribulations in her life. They were at the age of one, thirteen, and twenty."
"Twenty years old? A life-or-death ordeal?"
Jiang Yin immediately stood up and looked at Ye Ling. He strode over and squatted down in front of her, saying in a panic, "Brother Ye, is what you said true? You really have a life-or-death crisis? You're just over twenty years old!"
Ye Ling reached out and patted his head, chuckling softly, "Yes, he said it's true."
"You're still laughing? Why didn't you tell me about something so serious?"
Jiang Yin's eyes reddened, tears welling up. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Will having the Five Elements Heart allow you to overcome the tribulation of life and death?"
Everyone else looked at Ye Ling, their eyes filled with solemnity.
Ye Ling looked at Jiang Yin: "It does provide an extra layer of security."
Jiang Yin grew anxious: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find them right away. What are we protecting in Shendu? You can't even enjoy yourself, why are you worrying about them?"
Ye Ling chuckled: "You don't understand."
Jiang Yin: "I don't understand. I only know that I can't lose you. You are my only family in this world. What do I care if others live or die?"
Ye Ling looked at him: "But if many people here in the capital sacrificed themselves to protect me, and all they asked of me was for them to protect the capital, would I not care?"
"I......"
Jiang Yin was speechless for a moment.
Ye Ling smiled at him: "I have many lives on my shoulders, so I won't let myself die easily."
She ruffled his hair vigorously: "Let him finish what he has to say, be good."
Jiang Yin pursed his lips and remained silent, but he squatted down next to Ye Ling and didn't leave.
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Ye Jingyan said in a heavy tone, "Lingling and I went to the Old Immortal Mountain, where we met two Taoist priests. One of them was on his last breath when he met Lingling."
We heard a lot about Lingling from him. Lingling's life-or-death ordeal is real, and it's indeed coming soon. Everyone, this time we have no choice but to split up.
Ye Jinyan and Ye Boxuan clenched their fists tightly. Ye Jinyan looked at Ye Ling with heartache in his eyes and asked Ye Jingyan, "You two should already have a plan. Tell me, how do you plan to split up?"
Ye Jingyan nodded slightly: "The people who will be leaving with Lingling this time are Ye Boxuan, Ye Yanling, Wen Yanchen, and Xiao Yin. The rest will stay in the capital to cooperate with me. Of course, if any of you want to go with Lingling, you can let me know."
Ye Tianfei spoke up immediately: "Why can't I be with Lingling? There are many places where they need my fire-type abilities."
Ye Ling looked at him: "But Ye Jingyan needs your assistance."
Ye Tianfei looked at Ye Ling with some grievance, "But I want to be with you. I don't want to be there when you're going through a life-or-death ordeal."
Ye Jinyan looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you want me to stay?"
Ye Ling looked at him: "You're a healer and a doctor, so it's best for you to stay here. Don't worry, I'm very fast now, so it won't be long before we're separated."
Although Ye Jinyan was reluctant to be separated from her, he still nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Lingling, there should be signs when a life-or-death ordeal is about to befall you. If you notice anything amiss, come back immediately."
Also, we don't need to stay here indefinitely. Once order is restored and things are back on track, we can leave. If you haven't returned by then, we'll set off to find you.
His expression was very serious. "I'm serious. I never joke about things related to you."
Ye Ling compromised: "How about this, give each other a month. If I haven't returned after a month, and the gods are under your control with sufficient protection, then come to the Northwest to find me."
Ye Jinyan looked at her: "So your first stop is the southwest region? To find the Heart of Water?"
Ye Ling nodded: "Yes, let's find the Heart of Water first."
"Okay, if you don't come back in a month, we'll come looking for you. It's settled then."
Ye Ling looked at Moody and Wen Mengxia: "I want you two to stay in the capital. There are underground cities and divine trees here. The strange creatures in this city aren't too powerful. You can stay here and rest for a while."
Most importantly, it's not safe for you to follow me. If something happens to me, the space will be affected. Of course, you can come with me if you want. If something happens to me, I will send everyone and everything in the space out before it happens.
He then looked at Chu Moqing and said, "Captain Chu, I have already checked the cultural relics you wanted to collect. Those ancient relics are at Laoxian Mountain. You can take people there."
If I encounter a team escorting cultural relics elsewhere, I'll conveniently store them in my spatial storage. I'll give them to you when we meet again.
