He used magic spells to kill people casually, and casually said "I was careless" and pretended nothing happened.
However, no one dared to stand up and resist. Instead, everyone was glad that he finally understood.
The high and mighty foundation-building monks can do whatever they want here!
Li Yirou could now see that he had thought she had escaped from the beginning, and he just killed a few people to vent his anger because he was so angry.
And he killed them one by one, slowly enjoying everyone's fear.
If Sect Leader Lu and Elder Feng had not come, except for Manager Chen who held a position in the town and might have escaped the disaster, everyone else would have become his victim.
Even if the Sect Master came, Han Yuzhen wasn't particularly afraid. Killing a few ordinary people was like removing a few weeds to him, and the Sect Master wouldn't punish him for it.
His tone was still indifferent. After saying this, he placed a spirit stone in his palm.
It was said before that anyone who provided clues would be rewarded with 100 low-grade spirit stones. Now that he was killing people wantonly, he would be compensated with a medium-grade spirit stone of the same value.
In his eyes, a human life is as important as information that is useful to him.
However, no one dared to take the spirit stone. Han Yuzhen snorted coldly, "Since she has no relatives or friends, forget it."
Just as he was about to take back the spirit stone, a woman stood up tremblingly. Her legs were still shaking, and her face was covered with tears. But she still spoke, "Master, she and I are good neighbors. She has a five-year-old child at home."
She bravely met Han Yuzhen's gloomy gaze and said, "I think, I think..." She was a little unsure about what to say, but for the sake of her companion, she bowed to Han Yuzhen and finally stretched out her hands firmly, "I think her child really needs..."
Sect Leader Lu waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual power lifted up the neighbor woman. They could all see that she was so frightened that her lips had turned pale and she could barely stand.
Sect Leader Lu consoled him softly, "Elder Han misunderstood. This Spirit Stone is compensation. Our sect will also give out four more mid-grade Spirit Stones to comfort the wronged soul."
"Even if her child doesn't have spiritual roots, he can still be a menial disciple in the sect."
Sect Leader Lu actually knew how difficult it was to show mercy to ordinary people, but he did not punish Han Yuzhen, and did not even show a look of disgust.
Li Yiru was moved by the woman's courage in seeking compensation for her friend, but she also hated herself for her incompetence and Han Yuzhen's cruelty.
I wonder how much time he has left to live, and can she cultivate to the foundation-building stage within three years? Li Yirou only hopes that she can kill him with her own hands, so that he can also taste this kind of fear that penetrates deep into his bones.
Sect Leader Lu's words had a slight soothing effect, and everyone gradually helped themselves to their feet. One of the older brothers even reminded Li Yirou, who was standing there in a daze, "Kid, it's okay. You were really brave just now."
Li Yiru smiled bitterly, "My parents are both dead, but I feel that unlike others, life is also somewhat interesting." She made up a lie to explain, but her spiritual consciousness was paying attention to the woman. She took the five medium-grade spirit stones handed to her by Master Lu and put them in her arms with care.
Han Yuzhen was taken away by Sect Leader Lu, and the blood and flesh, as well as a dismembered body, were left on the ground.
Everything seemed to be over, but Li Yirou knew that this was just the beginning. Han Yuzhen sensed that her insect had disappeared here, which meant that he knew she was not dead, and he would not give up.
But now, Li Yiru can only try her best to hide in the Western Territory to avoid being discovered by him.
Shi Yue pulled Brother Chen over and whispered something into his ear. Manager Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing it. "It's inconvenient to travel at night. I'll apply for fellow Daoists from other places to rest for one night at the town's exchange market."
"Hey, thank you, Manager Chen." Some people have better psychological endurance and recover quickly.
Shi Yue spoke at the right time, "I'll take everyone there."
The woman was cleaning up her friend's body. Li Yiru felt guilty, as she was responsible for this person's death.
The woman looked at the separated corpse in embarrassment. Shi Yue handed her the large backpack she was carrying and said, "Use this to carry it."
Li Yiru helped her put the woman's body in. She was also from another town. Perhaps they came together to pick ginkgo nuts today, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The woman remained silent as she headed to the resting area with a dozen or so people from other areas who had come to pick ginkgo nuts. Along the way, the others chatted in groups of three or four about what had just happened.
"I don't know what evil deeds Li Yirou did to offend the elders of the Yijian Sect."
"Hehe, I think that elder is the one who is doing evil." Someone heard this and couldn't help but refute.
"The elder must have his reasons, otherwise why would he kill innocent people indiscriminately? I think that person might still be hiding among us."
"He couldn't even spot a Foundation Establishment cultivator? How powerful is Li Yirou? I don't believe such a young girl is stronger than him. She's just taking it out on the likes of us."
"How can you say that? He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his character is very noble. Why do you have to do this? I think the woman who was killed might have done something bad, and the elders discovered it."
"Exactly. Look, the elder just killed a thief, her. Who knows if she also committed some petty thefts?"
Li Yirou was shocked when she heard their discussion. Why, why would someone defend Han Yuzhen?!
She looked in disbelief at the person walking in front of her who was speaking for Han Yuzhen. Is this the world of cultivation? As long as you are strong enough, no matter how outrageous the things you do, there will always be people to defend you.
The man carrying his friend's body seemed very sad. He walked silently with his head down. Li Yiru felt like he was holding his breath.
"Masters, please rest here." Shi Yue led them into the city and stopped at a street. There were several sheds there with some tables and chairs placed inside. They were probably shops like tea stalls.
Everyone living in the world of cultivation is in good health, so it's no big deal if they don't sleep for one night. Besides, there is relatively abundant spiritual energy in the towns for cultivation.
"Oh, I just forgot. Is there any Taoist priest who knows the Dust Removal Technique and can help my husband clear the entrance to the secret realm?"
Li Yirou took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Madam, I am at the first level of Qi Refining, so I can use the Dust Removal Technique twice."
No one else stepped forward. They were exhausted physically and mentally and didn't want to move anymore.
"Please come in, fellow Daoist." Shi Yue gestured for her to return the way she came, and the two of them walked on the quiet street.
Shi Yue was about to say something when Li Yirou spoke first, "Madam, will leaving the ginkgo nuts for a day affect the purchase? I used to send them directly for collection, but today they were delayed."
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that it was probably the foundation-building cultivator who was still watching everyone in the dark to see if there was anything unusual.
