Si Lei Zhenjun

Half an hour later, the courtyard was deep and silent, with only the rustling of bamboo leaves.

On the ground, corpses were strewn about, their blood had coagulated, and their eyes were empty, as if the fear and unwillingness they had in life still lingered.

Chu Xing was wearing a black light armor stained with blood, with two short blades flying above his head, and under his feet was a man in a red robe with a dove-shaped face.

The man's arms were twisted and deformed, and his legs were twisted into horrible angles. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Chu Xing, his eyes filled with despair and pleading: "I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything... It's forever..."

"Did I ask you? Just tell me." Chu Xing suddenly stepped hard on his head, pressing his head to the ground, his voice cold and with a hint of teasing.

With a dull sound, the man's head collided with the ground in an instant. Blood gushed out of his mouth, staining the surrounding land red.

Swish! ! !

A white sword light suddenly came rushing towards Chu Xing from the sky.

When Chu Xing came to his senses, the flying sword was already within reach. Without hesitation, he kicked the man under his feet towards the flying sword and dodged to the side at the same time.

In a moment, the flying sword stopped less than an inch away from the heart of the man in the red robe.

Then there was a loud "bang" and the man in the scarlet robe fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Xing looked up in the direction from which the flying sword came, and saw a woman in a simple and elegant Taoist robe walking in the air, approaching Chu Xing step by step, like an immortal spirit walking in the clouds, with a pure and ethereal temperament.

Soon, the woman in Taoist robe landed lightly in the yard. Her beautiful eyes swept across the hideous mummies in the yard, and her gaze finally fell on Chu Xing.

Then she waved her jade hand lightly, and the flying sword with the moonlight shining on its blade rushed towards Chu Xing again.

Chu Xing knew that it would be difficult to explain clearly at this moment, and he was still simmering with anger, so he didn't want to say much. He just took out the Yunxiao Sect disciple token, raised it high, looked at the Taoist robe woman coldly and shouted:

"Stop, I am a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, and all those I killed were extremely evil."

After saying that, Chu Xing summoned Dahei and was about to drive it to launch a spiritual attack on the woman, but unexpectedly, the flying sword suddenly stopped its attack.

Then, the Taoist robe woman's voice, neither angry nor happy, came: "How do you prove it?"

"Just follow me to the cell and you'll see."

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Xing's face, and he paused: "Your cultivation has reached the Golden Core Perfection. I, a mere early Golden Core cultivator, can't use any tricks against you."

The woman in Taoist robes nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way."

Chu Xing led her along the winding corridor to a house.

He kicked the door open, and as soon as the two stepped in, they were hit by a foul odor.

At the innermost part was a large prison cell.

The cell was filled with the smell of decay and despair. The walls had been eroded by time and were mottled. The ground was covered with moss and dirt. Many young women and children were imprisoned there.

Those young women all had empty eyes, skin as pale as paper, chapped lips, disheveled hair, and deformed bodies. Some of them could not even stand normally and could only lean against the wall to support their bodies.

The children were all skinny and sallow, wearing tattered clothes, extremely thin, with bruises and scars all over their faces, and their eyes revealed fear and confusion about life.

Chu Xing turned sideways to look at the Taoist robed woman beside him, his face gloomy: "Can you trust the fairy?"

The woman in Taoist robe frowned slightly and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Chu Xing put away the Wusheng Chain Blade and Dahei, and no longer paid attention to the woman in the Taoist robe. He walked silently towards the cell, broke the chain tied to the cell door, and opened the door.

However, after a long while, only a little girl in a goose yellow dress timidly walked to the door.

The little girl's eyes were red, tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, her body was trembling slightly, and she looked pitiful.

Chu Xing's heart softened, he squatted down, and tried to make his voice gentle: "Don't be afraid, Xiaochan, I'm not a bad person, I was sent by your father to save you."

He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Xiaochan's head, but was afraid of scaring her, so he had to stop in mid-air.

Xiaochan hesitated for a moment, but nodded. Then she raised her little hand and gently grabbed the corner of Chu Xing's clothes, as if she had found a sense of security.

Chu Xing smiled, stood up, and walked into the cell with the little girl. He immediately showed a kind smile and spoke softly:

"Don't be afraid. Everyone in Sifang Pavilion has been killed. Help those who are unable to move. I will take you to have a good meal and a bath, and then I will take you home."

As Chu Xing finished speaking, the child's originally dull eyes in the cell gradually brightened, and he began to slowly walk out of the cell door.

But the twenty or so women seemed to have heard nothing, their eyes were still empty and without any color.

Chu Xing sighed inwardly upon seeing this, raised his head and stared at the roof for a while, then walked up to the woman in Taoist robes and said, "Fairy, can you help me cut off the roof with your flying sword?"

"Ying Yuexian, a disciple of Tianxin Holy Land."

The woman in Taoist robe nodded, summoned a flying sword and waved her hand.

A white sword beam about ten feet long appeared out of thin air, and it flashed through the air like lightning, slashing towards the roof with a sharp aura.

As the sword light swept past, a layer of the roof was easily cut off, without even raising any wood chips or dust.

Chu Xing thanked him and flew into the sky to summon the sedan magic weapon.

Then, he ordered the four corpses to send the women and children in the cell into the white sedan one by one.

……

Chu Xing brought more than twenty women and more than ten children back to the inn where they were staying. After explaining the situation to Feng Ruxue, he asked the innkeeper to prepare some food and several bathrooms for them.

The shopkeeper looked at the dirty and smelly group of people with a look of reluctance. Only after Feng Ruxue gave him a sidelong glance did he obediently walk into the kitchen.

Fortunately, the inn is big enough, and the lobby on the first floor can easily accommodate so many people. The servants are mostly monks and are very skillful.

After they finished their meal, Chu Xing asked the shopkeeper to find some women outside to help the group of people take a bath.

After discussing with Feng Ruxue, he finally sent them all to the Fenglin County government office and instructed the county magistrate to properly resettle them.

When we returned to the inn, night had already fallen.

"Humph, if you just kill those beasts like this, it would be too easy for them!"

Feng Ruxue slammed the table heavily and said with gnashing teeth.

"Alright, Senior Sister, don't be angry. The one who enjoys torturing and ravaging women is the leader of the Four Directions Society. I have already cut him into pieces."

Chu Xing patted her shoulder, then picked up a plate of cakes from the table and placed it in front of Xiaochan, saying with a smile, "Eat, Xiaochan. Your father will be here to pick you up soon."

"Thank you, brother."

Xiaochan nodded slightly and timidly reached out to take a piece of cake.

"Young Master Chu, may I ask if you are returning to the Yunxiao Sect?"

Ying Yuexian was sitting opposite Chu Xing at this time and suddenly asked.

"Yes, fairy, is there something wrong?"

Chu Xing looked at her in surprise. The woman's usually calm face was rarely flushed.

"My destination this time is also Yunxiao Sect. I wonder if I can go with you?" Ying Yuexian said.

"Well, but we still have to escort a batch of goods to Kunshan City, which will delay us for about two days." Chu Xingdao.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ying Yuexian said.

Chu Xing nodded. Although he didn't know why Ying Yuexian wanted to join them, he didn't want to ask more.

After a while, Daxing led the man surnamed Gu into the inn in a hurry.

"Gu Hong thanks you for saving my daughter!"

As soon as Gu Hong came up, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Chu Xing.

Chu Xing hurriedly supported him and said, "It's just a small favor. There's no need to do this."

Afterwards, Gu Hong thanked Chu Xing profusely.

"We have to hurry on our way, so we can't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."

Chu Xing was somewhat uncomfortable with this situation and quickly said goodbye.

He didn't have to put in much effort on this trip. The one with the highest cultivation level among the four was the man in red robe, who was in the late Jindan stage, and there were three in the middle Jindan stage.

After he found the prison cell in Sifang Pavilion, he sneaked up to them one by one and released Dahei to easily deal with them.

"Benefactor."

Gu Hong called out to Chu Xing from behind.

Chu Xing turned around and saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say."

"Could you please accept Xiaochan as your disciple?"

Gu Hong pulled Xiaochan over, bit the corner of his cracked lips, and said with a pleading look in his eyes, "She has good aptitude, a top-grade spiritual root, and she has always been well-behaved and obedient. She won't cause trouble for my benefactor."

"My cultivation is still low, and I have no plans to accept disciples for the time being."

Chu Xing frowned slightly, looking at the father and daughter in front of him with expectant expressions. After a moment of silence, he shook his head.

It was already difficult to provide Jiang Xiaoli with spiritual stones for his daily practice, and he really couldn't squeeze out the spiritual stones to support another one. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind bringing Xiaochan back to Piaomiao Peak to keep Xiaoli company.

Moreover, in three years, the eight major immortal sects will open their gates to recruit disciples. With Xiaochan's qualifications, no immortal sect should reject him. Gu Hong probably did this because he was afraid that he would not be able to earn enough spirit stones in the next few years, which would delay Xiaochan's practice.

Chu Xing thought for a moment and then said, "I have some connections in the City Lord's Mansion of Hun Tian Xian City. You can go there and report my name to find a job. I believe the salary will be enough to support Xiao Chan's cultivation needs in the next few years."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the inn.
