Ning Jie stood there coldly, his eyes as cold as ice, looking at the robbers who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
These robbers kowtowed heavily, their faces full of horror, and the greed in their eyes had long been replaced by fear.
"Good man, spare our lives! We won't dare to do it again. Please be magnanimous and let us go!"
A robber was crying and kowtowed desperately, leaving a bloody mark on his forehead.
"Yes, hero, please be magnanimous and let us go this time!"
The other robbers also echoed it, and had already thrown away the weapons in their hands, looking in a miserable state.
Ning Jie remained unmoved. His gaze swept over these people as if it were real, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.
He knew very well that these people had committed many evil deeds and were begging for mercy only to save their lives, not because they were truly repentant.
He ignored the robbers' pleas and turned towards the mother and daughter.
For some reason, Ning Jie felt a familiar aura from the little girl.
He chose to help because of this aura.
And now, the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong. This breath was like a silk thread wrapped around his heart, causing him to frown slightly and a wave of doubts welling up in his heart, as if there was some kind of mysterious connection between them.
"Where are you from? Why are you being chased by these bandits?"
Ning Jie looked at the mother and daughter and asked softly.
His voice was gentle, in stark contrast to the coldness with which he treated the robbers.
Tears of fear still welled up in the mother's eyes. She hugged her daughter tightly, her body still trembling slightly as she replied:
"We are from Tianfeng City ahead. We are the wife and daughter of the mayor of Tianfeng City. But now the young leader of the Wu Clan, Wu Jin, has risen to prominence. He has been conquering and plundering everywhere, recruiting subordinates. Those people are rampant in the city, committing all kinds of evil.
He attempted to challenge the Human Emperor's rule. My husband, as the Lord of Tianfeng City, upheld justice and refused to join the Wu Clan, so he was brutally murdered by Wu Jin's subordinate, the Twin Blades Rakshasa.
When the mother said this, she burst into tears and the little girl started crying too.
Ning Jie's expression changed when he heard this.
He didn't expect that he would arrive just when Wu Jin had just risen and was trying to start the chaotic war that happened a hundred thousand years ago.
Thinking of this, and recalling what Wu Jin did a hundred thousand years later, and how he trapped his master Qiu Yuebai, Ning Jie became very angry!
He looked at the bandits again, a cold glint in his eyes:
"Are you the witch clan's lackeys?"
The robbers looked at each other, panic in their eyes, but they still said:
"We...we were all forced!"
Ning Jie didn't care what they said. After all, these guys didn't look like they were forced to do this. Ning Jie laughed coldly and said:
"No need to say more, if that's the case, then you can just die!"
The robbers' expressions suddenly changed and they shouted in panic.
"If you dare to touch us, Lord Wu Jin will not let you go. His power is beyond your imagination. You will pay the price for your actions today!"
When Ning Jie heard someone mention the name "Wu Jin" again, he immediately remembered the evil deeds he had committed 100,000 years later.
Those bloody images flashed through his mind. He seemed to see countless lives struggling in pain under Wu Jin's evil deeds, cities destroyed, and families torn apart. This made him furious and his murderous intent even stronger.
Ning Jie no longer held back. He flashed and rushed towards the robber like a ghost.
He was moving so fast that he created a gust of wind that blew down the surrounding weeds.
The bandits were terrified and wanted to resist. They hurriedly picked up their weapons, but in front of Ning Jie, their movements were as ridiculous as slow motion.
Ning Jie launched a fierce attack, each move was powerful, his fists and feet hit the robbers like lightning, and each impact was accompanied by the sound of broken bones.
In an instant, the robbers fell to the ground in a mess, their blood dyed the withered grass red, their screams echoed among the hills, and then silence returned.
The mother and daughter looked at Ning Jie as he avenged them, their eyes filled with gratitude.
The mother took her daughter in her arms and walked to Ning Jie, bowing gracefully.
"Thank you so much for avenging us, benefactor. If it weren't for you, my mother and I would have died today. We have no way to repay your kindness. If you need me, I can sacrifice myself..."
Before his mother finished speaking, Ning Jie quickly helped the mother and daughter up and interrupted:
"No need to be so polite. Wu Jin's lackeys are to be killed by everyone."
He looked at the little girl with a gentle smile in his eyes. He squatted down and looked at her at eye level.
"What's your name, little girl?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Ning Jie. The fear in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by admiration and trust for Ning Jie.
She answered in a clear voice: "My name is Yaoguang."
Mother continued, "We are now preparing to flee to the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, hoping to find refuge there. We no longer have a home in Tianfeng City. It's now overrun with the minions of the Wu Clan. It's terrifying."
Ning Jie was moved when he heard this.
He finally understood why he felt familiar with this little girl. It turned out that she was the future Saint Yaoguang!
Thinking about the service that Saint Yaoguang would provide him in the future, Ning Jie couldn't help but smile.
Maybe this is the fate of the world.
"Speaking of which, Yaoguang and I have some connection. If you need me, I can help you with your revenge."
Ning Jie said calmly.
The mother and daughter hesitated for a moment, and the mother said worriedly:
"My benefactor, Tianfeng City must be full of Wu Clan members right now. It's too dangerous. You've already helped us so much, we can't let you fall into danger again."
