"Thank you, lord nine calamity sword master, for saving our lives." The leader of the Ye Family, covered in wounds, looked at Chu Yang with a complex expression.
These people were the Ye Family's personnel, over three hundred in total. After this battle, fewer than thirty remained. If Chu Yang had not fortuitously arrived, they would have become part of the corpses along the river, with no one able to escape disaster...
It was said that they had received orders to return just over ten days ago, specifically to deal with the nine calamity sword master. Yet now, at this life-and-death moment, it was the nine calamity sword master who saved them. This was truly…!
While they had learned about the significant changes in the situation midway, when faced with reality, their hearts were still filled with mixed emotions.
"Hurry back! If you see any corpses along the way, dispose of them if you can, and bury them wherever possible. Just remember, do not throw the bodies into the river!" Chu Yang waved his hand and shot off without looking back.
Along the way, they encountered several more skirmishes; however, as soon as the law enforcers saw Chu Yang arrive, they scattered like a flock of birds, refusing to confront him directly.
In other locations, they continued their attacks.
As for those who didn’t escape or were caught by Chu Yang, they promptly went on their way… to the Road to the Underworld!
During his travels, Chu Yang naturally captured and killed quite a few law enforcers, but in the face of the broader situation, it was still merely a drop in the bucket. He truly felt at a loss.
It was genuinely troubling!
Suddenly, a gust of wind rustled behind him, revealing Wuzhuo City’s figure, clothed in white and floating in mid-air.
"A large portion of the bodies has been dealt with, but those not in sight are beyond our reach." Wuzhuo City sighed, "Such madness… The Law Sovereign must truly be insane. I cannot fathom how he could have made such a decision."
Chu Le'er, her little face pale, was bent over and retching at the side.
After all, she was still just a girl. Although her talent and intellect far surpassed ordinary people, seeing so many corpses suddenly and having to deal with them herself—it was a lot for her to bear.
If she didn’t see Chu Yang, it would have been slightly better, but the moment she saw her brother here, a wave of reliance surged in her heart, and she could no longer suppress the feelings of disgust, immediately vomiting.
Chu Yang gently patted Chu Le'er’s back, while he spoke to Wuzhuo City, “But since things have developed to this stage, we can only adapt. Senior Wu, you are capable and will have to bear more burden.”
“Nine calamity guardianship is an unshirkable duty. Even if it’s already yesterday’s news, my heart remains steadfast,” Wuzhuo City replied earnestly.
Then, looking at Chu Le'er with pity, Wuzhuo City added, “Let me handle this matter alone. Downstream, members of the Ye Family are already using Corpse Transformation Powder to process the bodies. Let Le'er rest for a while. She is still a little girl; even without her help, it won't delay us much…”
“No! I want to go!” Chu Le'er insisted stubbornly, though she was so weak from retching that she leaned against Chu Yang to stay upright. Yet, she remained determined to participate.
“Senior, I think we should let Le'er come too,” Chu Yang said, feeling a pang of heartache, but still firmly added, “We are all children of the martial arts world… These matters must be faced sooner or later. Right now, during the demon calamity threshold, any assistance is needed. I believe Le'er’s contribution is absolutely not to be underestimated…”
Wuzhuo City sighed. As Chu Leer's master, he understood his disciple's abilities well, but he couldn’t bear to let this little girl face such brutal reality.
“Although the Law Sovereign intends to cleanse the entire Nine Heavens, his original intention probably wasn’t to destroy it completely. The fact that he ordered only to kill and not deal with the bodies likely means he aims to restrain us. As we see, his tactic is indeed very effective.”
