764 I am a member of the Wan family!
Following the young general's command, two teams of soldiers quickly stepped forward, tightly bound Wan Liuxiong, and escorted him away.
"General!" Wan Liuxiong's heart trembled when he heard that he was to be handed over to the general for disposal. He blurted out the words, a trace of doubt and unease flashing in his eyes.
He tried to struggle, but the "Dragon-Binding Rope" bound him and prevented him from moving.
He raised his head and looked at the young officer in front of him, a strong sense of resentment and anger welling up in his heart.
He growled, "I am a member of the Wan family. My ancestor was a Martial Emperor, a royal palace attendant!"
You've arrested the wrong person!
I have never betrayed anyone, so why am I being treated this way?!
At this moment, his voice was truly filled with anger and confusion, as if he wanted to voice all the doubts in his heart.
'I was supposed to be taken to the Wan family for processing, why was it handled by some general!'
The young officer remained unmoved, staring blankly at Wan Liuxiong, his voice still low and serious, 'Take him to the general immediately for disposal.'
"Yes!" No explanation offered!
At the young general's command, the two escorting soldiers, without stopping, lifted Wan Liuxiong up and carried him swiftly through the Wan family's backyard like a cheetah.
Along the way, Wan Liuxiong saw that his steward and servants were all bound tightly with hemp ropes, their faces full of fear and confusion, clearly shocked by this sudden turn of events.
Inside and outside the courtyard, soldiers were searching everything thoroughly.
Beside the lotus pond, a squad of soldiers was conducting a thorough search. The water in the lotus pond was stirred, and rotting or mutilated limbs slowly floated to the surface, emitting a nauseating stench.
The body was the same one that had been secretly disposed of before, but now it was being brought back to light in this grim atmosphere.
Wan Liuxiong felt something in his heart, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.
What he saw before him was as if he were witnessing the painful struggle of the maid he had bought. He knew he could not allow his offspring to be lost to others, otherwise the Wan family would surely despise him if they found out.
At that moment, he sensed something was wrong and gathered all his strength, trying to send his voice out!
He opened his mouth and roared with all his might, "I am a member of the Wan family! I am the Eighteenth Young Master!"
How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the entire nation?!
It seemed like a cry for help, or perhaps a signal!
The sound echoed in the night sky, like a raging storm!
The soldiers making the arrests remained unmoved, expressionless, and continued their rapid advance.
Wan Liuxiong was being escorted by soldiers. They had only gone a short distance down the street when suddenly, flames shot up from the Shen Mansion next door, raging like an angry fire dragon dancing wildly in the night.
The arrow streaked across the night sky like a meteor, whistling sharply as it hurtled towards the depths of the Shen residence.
Wan Liuxiong's pupils contracted as he recognized that the man wielding the longsword in the firelight was none other than Master Shen.
The long sword in Master Shen's hand gleamed coldly in the firelight, and the sound of its movement was like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, with demonic energy soaring into the sky!
Wan Liuxiong was startled. Master Shen was usually a merchant who was also quite low-key and charitable.
He donated a lot of money to help the poor, and also raised many orphans and poor men. He trained the orphans well and the young men for a few days, and then arranged for them to manage their businesses in other places.
He helps many people every year; he is truly a rare and charitable person.
Why did the Shen family suffer such a devastating attack?
At this moment, the Shen residence was like a bright light, with arrows raining down, and the situation was precarious. The soldiers seemed to be intentionally wearing down the Shen residence's strength.
Master Shen, on the other hand, was indeed a master of cultivation. His sword energy roared as he clashed with the sword, which was three feet long and remained condensed.
However, the soldiers seemed to deliberately slow down their encirclement and attack, and did not fight to the death. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the entire Shen Mansion.
Bloodlust surged to the sky, swords clashed and exploded, mixed with the miserable cries of guards and servants!
It seemed that the longer Master Shen was surrounded and attacked, the angrier he became.
'How dare you kill people so wantonly? Do you even have any regard for the law?'
The sound pierced through, seemingly trying to awaken those around to come and reason with him.
A cold, authoritative voice rang out, "Old Demon Shen, you worshipped an evil god, you deserve to die!"
Master Shen flew into a rage, seemingly no longer willing to feign anger, and roared, "Fine, fine, fine! Sure enough, a traitor has appeared among my ranks."
Master Shen's expression was one of rage; his face was so distorted that he was almost unrecognizable as human, his eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body was crimson like a surging tide of algae, while the flames around him seemed to rejoice.
A repulsive smell of gunpowder filled the air, and veins were clearly visible beneath the red skin, like black snakes writhing in the air.
The color of magma spread across the sword's blade, and the surrounding air seemed to be dyed red.
Master Shen's movements became unusually swift. His skin was like keratin, seemingly black, red, and reddish-brown, solidified into large and small chunks of magma, densely packed, sending chills down the spine of anyone who saw it.
Master Shen's figure suddenly swelled in the firelight, as if stretched by an invisible force. His body instantly grew more than twice its size, his muscles bulging, like an angry demon god.
Its eerie body seemed to be surging with magma!
With a sudden crash, stone walls and mud tiles flew everywhere!
With one kick, a crack was torn open on the ground, and it crashed down like a heavy stone.
Head bowed, his bloodshot eyes flashing with madness and resentment. He growled, his voice like thunder, filled with discontent and resentment, "I have always considered myself charitable, helping the poor, and my merits are immeasurable!"
Why is the world so unfair? Why can't it grant me a breakthrough and allow me to live for two hundred years? Why?!
I only wish to live to be two hundred years old, that's all.
I have helped so many poor people, I have done countless good deeds, why can't I live to be two hundred years old?
It's unfair! It's unfair!
When he turned around hastily, he saw a general who was not young, with a long-handled crescent blade. His body was full of blood and qi like a dragon, and his blade qi was like an arrow. After a few strokes, the blade was as fast as lightning and severed Master Shen's four limbs.
Further away, the situation seemed equally turbulent, with magical spells and supernatural powers soaring into the sky, blood energy billowing like smoke, malevolent energy running rampant, and a powerful array pressing down, as if they were besieging some terrifying creature.
Wan Liuxiong was quickly carried along, and soon they arrived at the gate of a mansion.
They were placed to the side, seemingly waiting in line for their turn.
Then came Master Shen, who was captured!
All that could be heard was, "Shen Tulong, under the guise of charity, buys children and transports beggars to trade with the Crimson Flame Demon Cult. He deserves to die! Go and execute him immediately!"
Master Shen's face turned ashen. He offered no resistance and was dragged away like a dead dog!
Then I heard, "Those scoundrels, who abducted and trafficked children and women, deserve to be beheaded!"
When Wan Liuxiong heard the name Bei Bacao, he was immediately startled, as it seemed that he had bought several maids from Bei Bacao, and that the steward had bought several maids from him.
