As the commotion in the southeast was boiling over, Dong Wushang and Rui Butong were driving a horse-drawn cart at a snail's pace into the southeast. Along the way, they encountered plenty of powerful figures wanting to get a share of the pie—after all, this long caravan was too tempting.
However, the blood rewards they hired were no ordinary hands, and when they met tough opponents, it was Master Dong the Fourth who stepped in. With a knife in hand, he was invincible!
Although he wasn't using his own Ink Blade, for someone like Dong Wushang, it hardly made a difference what weapon he wielded.
This journey became Dong Wushang's training trip, as he fought his way back to the southeast.
Throughout this journey, he rapidly grew in strength as a blade saint, causing Rui Butong to watch with envy.
Not to mention this journey.
Let's talk about Chu Yang, who traversed Ye Prefecture along the way, and incidentally eliminated quite a few opportunistic robbers.
Many people actually dared to block the roads, interrogating individuals and then killing them to loot their possessions, claiming: "These are accomplices of the otherworldly demons, we are upholding heaven's will and maintaining peace in the continent."
Especially those wealthy merchants, who were never spared.
The depravity of these people had reached an outrageous level! If they were genuinely fighting against the otherworldly demons, even if misled, that could be considered a form of justice.
However, these individuals were not acting out of justice, nor for the peace of the realm; they were simply driven by personal greed. Or rather, a hatred for the rich!
Not only martial artists had such people; even ordinary civilians displayed similar behavior. Wealthy families in every region were affected to varying degrees.
Chu Yang walked through, feeling a surge of anger, and eventually began a massacre!
He didn't care whether you were a martial artist or a commoner; anyone exhibiting such behavior would be killed without mercy!
He deeply grasped a truth: depravity does not only exist among the elite! It is everywhere!
Since this was the case, he would kill anyone he encountered with such actions, ensuring their complete eradication!
The most insane incident occurred in a certain place involving a wealthy man nicknamed Li Big Eyes; as the name suggests, he had particularly large eyes. This man had suffered through a lonely childhood, struggling fiercely, and over the course of thirty years, he built a great fortune with his bare hands.
Moreover, after achieving success, he was not cruel to the rich; instead, he was charitable and generous. Whenever neighbors encountered difficulties, he was always willing to help!
Such a person, during this otherworldly demon incident, was forced into ruin by those he had previously aided. Not only was his lifetime's savings completely robbed, but his house was also set ablaze, leaving nothing behind.
Additionally, he was labeled as an "accomplice of the otherworldly demons".
At first, only a few people caused trouble, and those who had benefited from Li Big Eyes felt embarrassed to take action. But eventually, all the poor folks of the town united to target Li Big Eyes, branding him as an "otherworldly demon"; there was a strange phenomenon where those who had once benefited from him turned against him even more fiercely!
It seemed that they could not escape the shadow of having received his kindness.
Since things had turned bad, they might as well throw away their conscience… go all out and be free of burdens!
It must be said, in times like these, human nature truly falls below that of dogs! Worse than any beast!
Chu Yang passed through this place and witnessed Li Big Eyes and his family being paraded through the streets, tied up, while cheers erupted on both sides, everyone celebrating the capture of an otherworldly demon.
However, some elderly people whispered among themselves, filled with anger yet too afraid to speak out.
After a brief investigation, Chu Yang was filled with rage and drew his sword, initiating a massacre! The entire street was almost wiped clean of inhabitants.
