Chapter 10 Parents Gone
Ling Yi, unaware of what had happened, dismounted and hurried towards the village.
After entering the village, Ling Yi discovered the problem.
Several houses in the village collapsed, leaving a scene of devastation, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.
Ling Yi immediately walked towards the crowd in the open space. As he got closer, he saw the corpses on the ground. When he saw the bodies of a couple on the ground, Ling Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Those are 'her' parents!
"A girl?"
Just as Ling Yi stood still, a woman noticed her. The woman seemed unsure, but upon closer inspection and confirming that it was indeed Ling Yi, she exclaimed with delight, "Little girl, why are you back?"
Ling Yi didn't speak, but just kept staring at the two corpses on the ground.
When the woman saw that Ling Yi had seen the body, her joy vanished, and she said sadly, "Little girl, it's just in time that you've come back. If you hadn't come back, we were planning to ask someone to send you a message."
“Your parents…” the woman said, her voice choked with sobs, “What a tragedy! Two such big birds chased a beast and just barged into the village. None of the children playing in the village escaped, and none of the adults could get away. They’re all gone, all gone.”
Two birds? Or beasts?
Ling Yi looked at the woman: "My parents were killed in the accident?"
“Yes,” the woman cried, “Yes, those damned bastards didn’t even stop. They have cultivation, and we couldn’t catch up with them even if we wanted to. We just watched them leave.”
Ling Yi didn't say anything, and silently walked to his parents' side.
People with spiritual roots are a minority in this world; most are ordinary people. Spirit masters who can contract beasts are even rarer. No matter what it is, once it becomes scarce, if it is an object, it becomes a rare existence; if it is a person, it becomes a superior being.
The two birds and the beast brought undeserved disaster to the village, but in their eyes, it was nothing more than their beast flying over a place, destroying some houses and killing some people, just like they stepped on a few ants while walking. It was no big deal, so how could they possibly stop?
It's nothing to them, but to ordinary people, their loved ones have died just like that, and they don't even know what the person who killed their loved ones looks like.
For them, this was a terrible misfortune. What else could they do but grieve for a few days and give their loved ones a proper burial?
Revenge?
How can an ordinary person seek revenge on a cultivator?
Report to the official?
It's useless; ordinary human laws can't do anything to cultivators.
This is a world where the strong are respected. What can the weak do but endure?
Ling Yi remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Did anyone see those two birds and the beast clearly?"
The woman said, "Yes, those two birds and that beast were very big, and someone saw them outside."
Ling Yi asked, "Who saw it?"
The woman pointed to two men. Ling Yi looked in the direction the woman was looking and recognized them. The two men were brothers, both married, and each had two children. Because they hadn't divided their family property, they still lived together. One of the collapsed houses belonged to their family.
The two brothers were working outside during the day while their child was playing in the village. When they returned, they saw two birds and a beast enter the village. The two brothers tried to save the child, but it was too late.
After the birds and beasts left, the two brothers saw a scene of devastation and a lifeless child.
All four children are gone, and so is the wife who stayed home to take care of the children and do needlework.
The two brothers' parents were crying loudly, but the two brothers didn't cry. They just stared intently at the child and wife on the ground, looking as if they had lost all life.
Ling stood up and walked up to the two of them: "I want to see your memories."
The two brothers continued staring at the corpse, ignoring Ling Yi. Their parents, however, stopped and looked at Ling Yi: "Little girl, you said you wanted to see memories, but what memories?"
Ling Yi said, "I want to see what those two birds and that beast look like in their memories. I want to remember what they look like, find out who is behind them, and avenge my parents."
Might makes right, fine, then she'll kill them!
When the relatives of the other deceased heard what Ling Yi said, they all tried to comfort her: "Yi girl, we know you are sad, and we are sad too, but those people are cultivators, and we ordinary people can't afford to offend them."
"Yes, your parents certainly don't want you to provoke those people. If something happens to you, they won't be able to rest in peace in the afterlife."
"Just a girl, forget it."
"You're back. Let's all lend a hand and bury your parents. Once their funeral arrangements are settled, you can go back."
A while ago, the Lin family came to take Ling Yi home. Everyone in the village knew Ling Yi's identity and advised her, "Little girl, you still have family. Don't do anything foolish."
"Isn't the Prime Minister the girl's biological father?" someone said. "Could we ask the Prime Minister to help us?"
“We have no way to deal with cultivators, but there must be cultivators around the Prime Minister.” After saying this, the man knelt down before Ling Yi: “Little girl, please help us.”
Some wanted revenge, but others were afraid: "Forget it, even if a girl gets her father to help us find those people, what then?"
"They are cultivators, and the power behind them is far beyond what we can match. We can't kill them. What can we do if they retaliate?"
"Can the Prime Minister really stand against cultivators for our sake?" The speaker sighed, "Impossible. Don't make things difficult for a girl."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Ling Yi didn't respond to them at all, he just kept looking at the two brothers. The two brothers didn't react, so Ling Yi stopped waiting and placed his hand on one of their foreheads: "Excuse me."
A white light appeared, and Tianyan entered the memories of the two, bringing back the relevant memories and transmitting them to Lingyi for viewing.
The two birds were level two beasts, while the one they were chasing was a level three beast.
There was someone on the bird's back. The two saw the person, but because the bird was moving so fast, they only saw it for a moment. That's why they thought they didn't see the person, but the memory remained.
Ling Yi saw the people on the bird's back. He didn't recognize them, but he recognized their clothes—they were the student uniforms of the Capital Academy.
"Very good." Ling Yi stopped looking at the memory and turned to look at his parents on the ground.
Ling Yi has no other relatives, so he doesn't plan to bury his parents here.
She'll kill those people, but what if their families come and dig up their parents' remains?
Ling Yi walked over, and with a flick of his hand, the two corpses vanished from their spot.
【01. Placing them in my spatial dimension will preserve them, but I can't leave them lying on the ground forever. I have an ice coffin; I can give it to you.】
Ling Yi did not refuse upon hearing this: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." After Tianyan finished speaking, a double ice coffin appeared in Lingyi's space.
