The only thing that was affected was probably the branches that weren't covered by snow. They would hang on people, and the stinging pain would hit them instantly. Their skin, which had long been numb from the cold, couldn't withstand such torture, and they would bleed profusely, a truly shocking sight.
There were at least a dozen people standing around them. Before anyone could react to what had happened, the matter was over just like that. Everyone stared blankly at Xu Yuehuai, looking at her as if she were some kind of monster. Even those who were very close to the two of them started to take a few steps to the side. Xu Yuehuai glanced around at the people present and said, "If any of you are still not satisfied, you can come and talk to me. I will definitely give you justice."
Xu Yuehuai's words sounded as if he had just risen from hell, carrying a hint of bloodlust, and his smile never faded. Everyone exchanged a glance before quickly looking away.
Yan Zhi looked at Xu Yuehuai worriedly from behind. She rubbed her arms with her hands, as she had no feeling below her knees. Flying vehicles were prohibited on the snow mountain, so they could only walk on the snow. "Huai, let's go. Don't bother with them. It's more important for us to get up there and get things done as soon as possible."
In this battle, men were naturally at an advantage over women, as if it were a carefully orchestrated scheme.
Meanwhile, the men who had reached the top of the mountain were still gloating, saying, "If you ask me, at a time like this, those women are completely useless! They should be dragged out so they won't be an eyesore here!"
The atmosphere on the mountain wasn't particularly lively. Quan Cang preferred quiet, so no one dared to make a loud noise, for fear of disturbing Quan Cang.
After the rat-man left, Quan Cang slowly opened his eyes, put his feet down from the chair, and put on his black shoes, which were spotless and completely filthy.
Stepping on the ground, they were walking in the exact opposite direction from the rat-men.
The location he went to was the basement he had arranged in this area.
Only Quan Cang was qualified to enter this basement. For many days, no one else had entered except him. It was a dark place with only a ray of light shining down from above. Quan Cang's clean shoes were covered with mud on the ground in no time, but he didn't care and continued to walk forward.
He stopped when he reached the innermost cell in the basement. "It seems you woke up much earlier than I expected."
"Quan Cang, it's you! Why are you locking us all up here! Let us out!"
"Do you even know what you're doing? We were once fellow disciples! Aren't you afraid that our senior sister will find out what you've done today? If she finds out that you've committed so many acts that violate the laws of nature, will she still be able to forgive you and let you go?"
"You think you can threaten Senior Sister by locking us up here? Let me tell you, you're dreaming! We'd rather die than become a burden to Senior Sister!"
...
Quan Cang listened quietly to these unbearable words, all criticisms directed at him. He listened with interest for a while, but after a short while, no one continued to curse him. He opened his eyes with a strange expression, looked at the people in front of him, and asked with some doubt, "Eh? Why did you stop talking? Are you tired? No wonder, life underground must be very difficult, right? It's all thanks to the fact that you are all so powerful that I don't have to have someone prepare meals for you."
"I originally wanted to see if you were still alive, but now that I see you can still curse me with all your might, I feel much more at ease." Quan Cang spoke with a smile on his face, a gentle smile that seemed to be slapping them in the face.
Everyone clenched their fists, wanting to step forward and do something, but at this moment, their silence seemed to be the loudest language.
"However, Senior Brother Fu and Senior Brother Baili, we used to be in the same sect, all of us were direct disciples. I never expected that you would also become direct disciples here, while I am still a cut above you." Quan Cang spoke haltingly, his eyes full of malice, which was evident in his words.
The two people he called out kept their eyes closed the whole time, not sparing him a single glance. After hearing his words, they merely gave him a faint look. "So you're here to show off? If that's all, then I look down on you. You've done so much just to show off and say such trivial things."
Fu Ziyi's words caused Quan Cang's emotions to fluctuate slightly. The smile on his face froze, and when he looked at Fu Ziyi, his smile became even more ambiguous. "What do you know? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Be careful, or I won't be polite to you."
Quan Cang's sinister appearance was terrifying, and Nangong Yu found it strange that he had never seen Quan Cang like this before.
Even now, no one truly understands why Quan Cang did all this. If it were for money, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths; he could get whatever he wanted.
If no one respected him, then what exactly happened to him during his time in Qingtao Valley? If there was any place that could have given him time to undergo such a significant change, the only place that comes to mind is Qingtao Valley.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Baili Xiuwen turned his head and asked this question with unusual calmness, his eyes meeting Quan Cang's without flinching.
Quan Cang was taken aback, then smiled as if he found the question strange and said, "What do I want to do? Is it hard to know? Of course, I want everyone in this world to die, to be buried with my emotions."
"To die for your emotions, Quan Cang, don't you think what you're saying is somewhat absurd? Just because you're unhappy, so many innocent people are going to die. Is this the path to justice you're pursuing? If that's really the case, then you're no good at all!" Nangong Yu knew that the best way to deal with him now was not to scold him, but to calm him down and get him to release them all.
However, Nangong Yu couldn't hold back any longer, especially when Quan Cang said that they were nothing more than tools to pay for emotions, and his pent-up emotions completely erupted.
Quan Cang sighed, leaned against the wall, faced them, crossed his arms, and frowned, as if the problem he was facing was a global challenge.
