She was the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, and had been high and mighty since she could remember. Even during the two years she spent at the Immortal Abode, she was only focused on completing her missions and had a large number of maids and servants under her command, so she never thought about this issue.
In fact, this is not just her. The nobles or powerful cultivators in this world do not have the concept of equality for all. In their eyes, many people cannot be considered human beings, but are merely slaves, servants, pawns, and so on.
So when she saw Zu'an doing this, she was initially puzzled, but when she saw him digging holes in the backyard little by little and carefully placing the bodies of the assassins inside, she suddenly seemed to understand and was extremely shocked.
"I'm sorry," Qiu Honglei said apologetically. In a way, these people also died at her hands.
Zuan shook his head: "They tried to poison you, so it's only natural that you killed them in return. You can't be blamed; the blame lies with someone else."
Qiu Honglei was quick-witted and immediately realized what was going on: "You mean Sang Qian?"
Zuan did not answer, but solemnly buried the bodies, then found a plaque and engraved it: "Tomb of the Righteous Men, erected by Zuan".
Looking at his lonely figure, Qiu Honglei suddenly realized that she didn't really understand this man at all.
Meanwhile, the Sang family father and daughter, along with Pei Mianman and others, fled all the way. Clearly, their scheme had been exposed, and they knew that even if they stayed, they would not be able to defeat the members of the Demonic Sect.
After completely shaking off their pursuers, Sang Qian suddenly glared at Sang Qian: "Why?"
"What do you mean, why?" Sang Qian's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Sang Qian said, "If you hadn't been exposed and discovered by Qiu Honglei, how would they have known about the poison we used? How would those assassins have sacrificed themselves? Do you know how much effort our Sang family put into training them?"
Sang Hong, standing to the side, also had a livid face. It should be noted that the Sang family was different from other families with long-standing traditions. They did not have the resources to cultivate so many assassins. The number they had cultivated so far was already the limit of the Sang family.
Sang Qian said dismissively, "I didn't want to see this outcome either. How was I supposed to know that Qiu Honglei was so shrewd that she would have discovered me?"
Pei Mianman's brows were furrowed with anger: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to kill Azu from the very beginning!"
Zheng Dan's gaze turned icy as she looked at him, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in it.
Sang Hong also said in a deep voice, "Qian'er, you have disappointed me greatly."
You can eliminate Zu'an if you want, but don't choose this time, and you've caused your own side to lose so many loyal followers.
Being ruthless is fine, but being stupid is.
Sang Qian was furious: "Fine, fine, fine, everything is my fault. You all say Zu An is good, then go find him to be your older brother, go find him to be your son! I've had enough!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away in anger. Sang Hong subconsciously took a step forward and then stopped. He seemed to want to chase him but gave up. In fact, he blocked Pei Mianman and the other two women from chasing him.
With this brief delay, Sang Qian's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
He ran wildly, growing angrier with each passing moment. He stopped in front of a cliff and cursed loudly at the distant valley, unleashing a torrent of curses against Zu'an in an attempt to vent his anger.
Anger from Sang Qian: +999 +999 +999...
Just then, a strange female voice came: "Young man, you seem to know Zu'an?"
