Strangely, when the two men fell to the ground, they were both facing the burly man, clutching their necks, their wide eyes filled with terror, and their other hands were pointing in the same direction, as if warning him something!
The burly man swallowed hard, his legs trembling. Fear and regret slowly welled up inside him, but his eyes involuntarily turned to look in the direction they were pointing.
A gray figure appeared directly in front of him. It was a tall, slender man whose face was hidden in the mist and could not be seen at all. He gently touched the burly man's brow with one hand, as if sensing something: "It seems I was right. You are the leader of this group, and the one who eats the most."
The burly man's legs buckled, and he knelt down, then began kowtowing repeatedly to the figure, pleading, "Merciful immortal! Merciful immortal! I had no choice! I'll never do it again!"
This figure was naturally formed from the bell, and its words were in accordance with Ye Shuang's orders. Letting him die like this would be too easy for him. A stream of spiritual energy entered his body, and the man said calmly, "When the mist dissipates, you must collect everyone's bodies and give them a proper burial, and I will spare your life. However, every day in your future, as long as you close your eyes, those who died because of you will appear before you. As long as you are asleep, you will personally experience the pain of those who died because of you. But you will not die; you will live for a very, very long time—until I allow you to die. Enjoy every day of your future!"
This is her most proficient in incantation spells. As long as the man's cultivation level is not as high as hers, this incantation spell will be 100% effective before she dies!
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shuang was unwilling to waste any more spiritual energy watching him beg for mercy. She took back the bell and hung it back on her wrist, and the mist dissipated.
The mist came and went quickly, so quickly that no one could tell where it came from or where it disappeared from. But they all knew that when danger came, an immortal protected them!
Some villagers mustered up their courage and opened the door, only to be nearly startled by the horrific sight of blood flowing like a river at the entrance, and quickly slammed the door shut again.
Only when there was a dragging sound outside, and the sound gradually faded away, did he slowly reopen a crack in the door and peek out.
The gruesome corpses were gone, leaving only a patch of bright red blood, proving that what had just happened was not their hallucination.
Afterwards, everyone said that they were a village protected by immortals. Even if they didn't know where the immortals were, they became bolder in their actions!
The aftermath of this incident seemed to be slowly subsiding, but only Ye Shuang knew that it was only just beginning. After her outburst, the fluctuations of her spiritual power could be felt within a thousand miles. In this mortal realm where spiritual energy is scarce, this was indeed a bad thing. As long as she used a lot of spiritual power, she would become very conspicuous.
Her dream of living a peaceful life has likely been shattered, and the days to come are destined to be anything but tranquil.
As expected, after that initial wave of "bandits," a steady stream of refugees arrived. These refugees, however, were much more normal. They begged for food in the villages, and those with strength went up the mountains to hunt wild animals. Those who couldn't hunt would find edible wild fruits to fill their stomachs. Even though the areas they traversed still resembled a locust swarm, there were no more attacks on people.
