Chapter 238 Eternal Void Realm 13
Xie Qingyi's words were very impolite, and the person who made the request immediately blushed and became angry.
"Since you saved us, you should see it through to the end, otherwise you're just hypocritical! What's the difference between you and those who kidnapped us? You're just sending us to our deaths anyway!"
The other immediately chimed in, his tone deliberately ingratiating and subtly coercive: "Yes, this Eternal Void Realm is fraught with danger. I've heard that those who enter are either desperate criminals or evil cultivators. We are all righteous people, and our weapons have been confiscated. We don't even have a map. If we don't have an escort, we're afraid we'll lose our lives before we even reach ten miles..."
He glanced at Xie Qingyi's expression and added, "But since you've gone to your aid, you must be a kind-hearted person. You wouldn't just stand by and watch us die, would you?"
In their back-and-forth exchanges, every word and phrase transformed gratitude into shackles, as if saving someone had become a sin.
Xie Qingyi's expression didn't change at all; she simply asked calmly, "Are you finished?"
The two men looked at each other, and the one who agreed said, "Miss, we didn't mean anything by it, but you see, we're unarmed now, and without anyone to escort us, we're bound to encounter danger. Wouldn't it be a waste of your time to save us?"
"Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn."
Xie Qingyi spoke to herself, her fingertips lightly tracing the blade, the cold glint reflecting in her indifferent eyes.
The next instant, a flash of light appeared—
"laugh!"
Two streaks of blood splattered. Before the two men could even be shocked, they clutched their throats, staggered back two steps, and then collapsed heavily to the ground.
Fresh blood gushed out, seeping into the dark red earth.
The laws of this place quietly took effect, and the energy within the corpse began to dissipate.
Xie Qingyi immediately absorbed all the energy into her body.
"How could the rescue have been in vain? Didn't it work its purpose?"
She turned to the others: "Do you still need me to escort you?"
"No, no need..."
"We'll walk on our own, we'll walk on our own."
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and scattered.
Yun Zhen then deactivated her invisibility and looked at Xie Qingyi with some surprise.
"I never expected you to do this."
Xie Qingyi smiled and said, "As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."
She chose to destroy the Underworld Cult and save the 'Blood Eaters' simply because she couldn't stand such dirty dealings.
There were no grand declarations of righteousness, nor any compassionate sentiments.
It has nothing to do with anyone, nor is it coerced by anyone.
Yunzhen had indeed misunderstood, thinking she was a purely kind person. Now that she knew that the other party held such views, she appreciated her even more.
The two did not discuss the matter further and quickly headed to the second stronghold.
They swept through the enemy territory in this way, spending more time on the road than in actual combat.
However, it wasn't without its gains; Yunzhen's experience in combat was getting better and better.
He would occasionally spar with Xie Qingyi.
She wandered in the Eternal Void for over three thousand years, experiencing countless life-and-death crises. Yunzhen learned a great deal of experience and skills from her.
As for Jin, he's still obsessed with getting close to her.
We don't need her for this purpose yet.
The two people and their pet were each busy with their own things.
Strangely, the so-called Venerable of the Underworld did not appear until the last stronghold was wiped out.
All his strongholds in the Eternal Void Realm have been destroyed, yet he doesn't care at all?
This made the two people, who were on high alert, look somewhat comical.
Yunzhen was a little disappointed. She had thought she could catch a fat sheep, but who knew...
