Chapter 62
"you..."
As a feeling of suffocation washed over him, fear filled Yang Wei's eyes, and his trembling finger pointed at Luo Hengzhi.
When Yang Wei's face turned blue and purple, Luo Hengzhi threw him hard to the ground and coldly questioned, "How many children has your Yang family kidnapped?"
Longbao: "Master, directly search his soul to see his memories."
"I'll do it." Ye Zi knew which books Luo Hengzhi had read in the Sutra Pavilion, but Luo Hengzhi did not know what soul searching was.
"What are you doing... Don't come near me, get away." Although Yang Wei didn't know exactly what soul searching was, it sounded ominous. How could one search for a soul?
"The Yang family won't let you get away with this." The Yang family was powerful and influential. As the hotel manager spoke, his hand trembled as he pulled out his phone, as if to send a message.
Fire Phoenix conjured a flame and threw it in front of the hotel manager: "Don't move, or I'll burn you!"
Luo Hengzhi glanced at the man; the lobby manager's nameplate was unusually eye-catching.
This person wasn't there when Luo Hengzhi arrived, but now he's showing up with this Young Master Yang. He can skip work and go out at will, just sitting there with a title and getting paid without doing any work. He's really living a carefree and happy life!
I wonder who recruited this person again; there are just too many people with connections in Hengli!
The hotel manager saw the fire hanging in mid-air and could even feel the heat emanating from the flames. He dared not move his hand holding the phone.
Luo Hengzhi grasped Ye Zi's hand that was reaching out to Yang Wei: "You teach me, I'll see, it's dirty!"
“Then let’s watch together.” Ye Zi took a step back and summoned her spirit sword.
The spirit sword flew to Yang Wei's head and directly extracted his memories. The extracted memory fragments were projected as images in mid-air.
In the scene, a dark and damp basement is filled with iron cages, densely packed with children. The children's clothes are tattered, and their exposed arms and legs show numerous wounds. Their eyes are filled with fear as they huddle in a corner.
Even with injuries on their faces, these children still have striking good looks.
The scene shifts to several children being roughly pulled out of an iron cage by a pair of large hands, their necks tied with ropes like chickens and ducks, and their eyes blindfolded before being dragged out.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, a row of luxury cars were waiting. The children who had been pulled out were thrown into the trunks of the cars, which then drove off in different directions.
Ye Zi was shocked that they had arrested and imprisoned so many children. Enraged, she raised her hand and pressed it against Yang Wei's head, performing a soul search.
Ye Zi's eyes turned cold as she looked at the children's experiences, her gaze filled with chilling murderous intent, and she grabbed Yang Wei by the neck.
"Ye Zi." Luo Hengzhi grasped Ye Zi's hand at this moment, "Don't get your hands dirty!"
Ye Zi met Luo Hengzhi's eyes, her emotions calmed down a little, and she picked up Yang Wei and teleported to the basement.
Luo Hengzhi was able to accurately sense Ye Zi's movements, and with Huo Feng and Long Bao in tow, they followed closely behind and teleported over.
The crowd at the scene watched in terror as the group of people vanished into thin air before their very eyes. They screamed and ran away, their legs giving way and collapsing to the ground.
When Ye Zi arrived at the basement, she released her spirit sword to illuminate the entire basement, only then could she see just how terrible the environment was, with rats and ants crawling around on the floor.
Ye Zi slammed Yang Wei to the ground, then with a wave of her hand released the child from the cage and moved him to the clean doorway.
The children didn't know what was happening. When they realized someone was coming, they covered their eyes in fear and huddled together, crying softly.
Ye Zi noticed that the children were afraid of adults, so she took out some pills from her storage bracelet. These pills could be taken by ordinary people and could help treat external injuries and restore physical strength.
Ye Zi handed the pills to Huo Feng and Long Bao: "Give them to them."
Longbao and Huofeng walked over to the children, who were not too wary of their peers approaching them.
Fire Phoenix: "There are pills here, one for each person. They will heal your injuries and restore your strength immediately. Is there anyone willing to be the first to try?"
The children looked at each other, but no one reached out.
After a moment, a voice came from the corner.
"I'll go!" The tall boy stepped forward and extended his hand directly to Long Bao. "I'll be the first to try."
Long Bao poured out a pill and handed it to the boy, who swallowed it without hesitation.
He then saw his wounds miraculously healing, the pain disappearing, and he felt strength returning to his hands and feet; his physical strength had truly been restored.
"The medicine they gave me is real. My injuries don't hurt at all anymore, and I'm full of energy!" The boy happily pulled up his sleeve, revealing that his previously scarred arms were now smooth and without a single bruise.
"I want one too."
"I want one too."
...
Seeing the effects of the elixir, the children all raised their hands.
"Alright, those who want the pills, line up. One pill per person." Seeing that everyone had lowered their guard, Huo Feng and Long Bao began distributing the pills to them.
"It really works! My body really doesn't hurt anymore."
"I'm better now, I have strength again."
"Me too"
"Finally, a god has come to save us!"
......
The children saw hope, the lifeless atmosphere was broken, and they started talking more!
"Quiet down!" Fire Phoenix pointed at Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi behind her. "Our master is here to rescue you, so don't be afraid. You will be free soon."
The children gradually stopped resisting Ye Zilu's attitude.
Ye Zi kicked Yang Wei on the ground and said to all the children in front of her, "This is the man who arrested you. Now you'll get your revenge on him for how he treated you before."
"No...no." Yang Wei looked at the child approaching him and tried to resist, but found that he couldn't move at all. He shouted and threatened, "I am a member of the Yang family. If you dare to do this, the Yang family will not let your family members go."
The children were terrified by these words and stood frozen in place, none of them daring to move.
Ye Zi stepped on Yang Wei and said, "Then we'll wipe out your entire Yang family. Don't worry, none of them will escape; they'll all come here to keep you company!"
Upon hearing this, the tall boy was the first to rush forward again, kicking Yang Wei several times: "Come here, give him back everything he did to us."
Upon hearing this, the children rushed forward and kicked Yang Wei a few times, but they held back, and Yang Wei was still able to breathe in the end!
"We want him locked up here too, locked up here for the rest of his life, so he can taste what it's like to be imprisoned!" the tall boy said to Ye Zilu Hengzhi.
"Yes," the children said in unison.
Ye Zi waved her hand, sending Yang Wei into the iron cage, and at the same time set up a barrier in the basement that no one could detect.
Luo Hengzhi then stepped forward and set up a formation that could be monitored from a distance, since they wouldn't stay in Hanhai City forever.
With the addition of the fiery torture array, Yang Wei immediately experienced the taste of slow simmering.
Just when Yang Wei thought he was going to be burned to death, a self-healing light flashed and kept him alive, allowing him to continue to enjoy the pain of being burned all over his body.
Seeing Ye Zilu's actions, the children were not afraid at all; instead, they excitedly shouted, "It's a god! A god has come to save us!"
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi led the children out of the basement. The children hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and their eyes were initially uncomfortable as the light stung them.
But they quickly adapted and happily ran into the sun, letting the sunlight shine on them.
"There are still some children they took away, and we don't know where they were sent. Can you save them too?" The tall boy walked up to Ye Zi and asked with pleading eyes.
Just then, a sound came from outside, the gate was opened, and a vehicle entered.
The children ran back behind Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi in fear, looking at the approaching vehicle with terror. The more timid children were already trembling.
A dozen or so people got out of the car, and one of them shouted, "What's going on? Who put these children in the yard? Where's Yang Wei?"
"Master, the young master has gone out to find goods. He said two good items have arrived," the attendant said obsequiously.
"This is also a member of the Yang family," the tall boy whispered behind Ye Zi.
"Master, we've come. We want to avenge these children." Fire Phoenix and Dragon Treasure stepped forward.
The man saw the Fire Phoenix and Dragon Baby that came out and said, "These two are not bad. Take them with you."
Fire Phoenix: "Dragon Baby, I'll catch them, you take care of beating them up."
"Okay." Long Bao reached out and a long whip emitting spiritual light appeared in his hand.
Fire Phoenix walked towards those people: "You want to catch me? Well, here I come."
After Huo Feng finished speaking, she waved her hand, and flames continuously spread from her hand, enveloping the vehicles and people opposite her.
Before they could even react, they were surrounded by flames.
"What...what's going on? Quick, get a fire extinguisher and put out the fire!" someone shouted.
Fire Phoenix made a gesture of withdrawing its hand, and the flames transformed into fire whips, suspending all the people opposite it in mid-air.
"Since you all enjoy hitting people so much, you must also enjoy being hit." Long Bao swung his whip, which seemed to magically reach each person.
The clothes of the person who was hit were instantly torn open, and their skin was ripped open.
"ah....."
"Stop! Do you know who we are?!"
Screams and shouts mingled together.
"Hit them hard! That's how they hang us up and beat us!" the children cheered in unison.
Long Bao lashed out with his whip, striking their faces, mouths, and other parts of their bodies until he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the basement.
At this moment, Ye Zi had also determined the location of all the children who had been taken away. She flew into the air, and countless spiritual threads appeared on her body, heading in all directions.
The spiritual thread accurately located each child, who was being beaten, abused, and fell into a coma. Some were even naked, with cuts on their hands and feet, and blood continuously flowing into a pool of blood.
Ye Zi realized that this was not just ordinary abuse, but a kind of evil ritual that used children's blood and souls as sacrifices.
Someone is practicing evil magic through rituals. Who is this person?
Ye Zi used spiritual threads to form barriers that enveloped each child. The barriers contained spiritual energy transmitted by Ye Zi, instantly stopping the bleeding and healing the children's wounds.
The next second, the spirit thread transformed all the children into pure robes and erased the painful memories left over from this period, turning the children back into their clean and whole selves.
Ye Zi, of course, did not let any of those who committed evil deeds go unpunished.
Seeing the children enveloped in a beam of light, they were stunned and panicked. The spiritual thread transformed into a sharp sword, piercing through their shoulder blades and lifting them back into the courtyard.
The tragedy began here, and it should end here!
The children inside the barrier landed safely and were surrounded and protected by other children!
And those wicked people, numbering over a hundred, were pinned to the ground by spirit threads!
Ye Zi showed no mercy and began to search the souls of the villains on the ground one by one. The Yang family members were all there.
However, they all lacked a portion of their memories, which were deliberately erased by an unknown force, preventing Ye Zi from finding the source of the evil magic.
Ye Zi's gaze, sharp as an ice spike, pierced the struggling crowd on the ground. These people must be punished!
The spirit sword emitted a dazzling light, and Ye Zi directly launched a divine curse towards the heavens: "May the souls of all those who have committed the sins of harming children never be allowed to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
"The seven spirits remain in the body, enduring the burning of the sea of fire day and night; the three souls fall into hell, passing through oil cauldrons and being whipped, their souls and spirits never to disperse, the punishment never to cease!"
