#835 - Atrocities

"Ah! !"

"You, what are you trying to do! !"

"Don't, don't kill me! Don't kill me! !"

"Run! Run! !"

...

A hundred breaths later, when over a hundred tall horses charged into the crowd without slowing down, and a flash of knives swept across, the narrow street was immediately plunged into bloodshed and chaos.

Nearly a thousand civilians blocking the road didn't even have time to utter a curse before many of them were beheaded.

Under immense fear, in just a moment, the remaining people completely forgot the task they had come here for, and turned to flee for their lives.

Located in the middle of the road, with houses on both sides, these ordinary people who couldn't climb walls could only surge backward in a frenzy.

However, the row of people at the very back of the crowd remained motionless, blocking everyone's path to survival like an iron gate.

"You, you!"

Eyes wide, some people pushed and shoved these expressionless men, desperately trying to squeeze through the gaps.

But the people opposite simply pushed them back into the hellish scene.

"No one is allowed to escape!"

...

No one is allowed to escape.

This simple sentence made everyone understand their situation.

It turned out that not only did Gongsun Yan and Wei Changtian want their lives, but the person who had lured them here also wanted their lives!

Facing the Kui Dragon's men, these civilians naturally couldn't escape. After desperately begging in vain, they had no choice but to pin their last hope on the residents on both sides of the road.

"Thump, thump, thump! !"

"Open the door! Please! Open the door! !"

"Wuu wuu wuu, I still have a wife and children at home! I don't want to die! !"

"Open the door! Open the goddamn door! ! !"

...

The sounds of banging on doors, weeping, screams, and pleas for mercy...

The chaotic sounds and the shadows of knives and blood formed a ridiculous scene in the world, with countless people crowding in front of each door.

But no matter how hysterically they cursed and begged, not a single door opened.

"Get lost! !"

"Don't harm me! !"

"Creak!"

Curses rang out from behind the doors, along with the sound of dragging heavy objects, firmly isolating the people outside.

And as the sound of horses' hooves swept past, the heads fell to the ground one after another, and these chaotic sounds weakened, weakened, and finally returned to silence at an extremely fast speed.

Corpses lay scattered, and blood stained the long street.

It didn't take much effort to slaughter these unarmed civilians. Gongsun Yan's retainers completed the task assigned by Wei Changtian in just over a hundred breaths.

Except for the few members of the Kui Dragon, all the civilians, regardless of gender, were turned into souls under the blade. The stench of blood and rotten vegetables filled the air.

At this moment, in a nearby alley, when Chu Xianping saw this scene through the car curtain, his expression inevitably became somewhat complicated.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered that Wei Changtian would order the killing, but he really hadn't expected the latter to kill so decisively.

This naturally meant that Wei Changtian's style of doing things had changed compared to before, as if he had become more inclined to use the most "simple" way to solve problems.

It was difficult to say whether such a change was good or bad.

But as far as today's events were concerned, Chu Xianping was undoubtedly happy to see such a situation.

Killing so many people in the street would inevitably arouse public resentment.

In other words, Wei Changtian's actions today would inevitably make many originally hesitant "righteous people" no longer hesitate, but stand up and "act on behalf of Heaven."

Yes, the power of one or two people was indeed insignificant.

But what about tens of millions of people?

When the entire Great Hui began to hate Wei Changtian and Gongsun Yan, and took action, Chu Xianping didn't believe he could still lose.

"Young Master, you shouldn't be so impulsive."

Looking at the convoy slowly driving towards the corpses in the distance, Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes and stared at the carriage with the "An" character flag hanging on it, muttering to himself:

"If you had asked Li Zimu in advance, you wouldn't have... Hmm?"

Suddenly, the murmur stopped abruptly, and Chu Xianping's eyes also stagnated slightly.

Because he saw that as the convoy slowly stopped, Wei Changtian and Gongsun Yan actually got out of the carriage.

"Young Master! Lord!"

On the other side, seeing the two get out, the previous retainer leader immediately came closer and reported:

"The troublemaking civilians blocking the road have all been killed on the spot!"

"Is that so?"

Wei Changtian calmly looked around, his gaze paused slightly at the alley where Chu Xianping was hiding, and then slowly said:

"Check again for any survivors, making sure not to miss a single one."

"Also..."

After a pause, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his voice a little.

He knew that every word he said at this moment would quickly spread throughout every household in Yongding City, and even the entire Great Hui.

And even under such circumstances, Wei Changtian still used an icy tone to slowly say something that even Chu Xianping was stunned by.

"Also, immediately investigate the identities of these people."

"After finding out, exterminate their entire families, leaving no one alive."

"If you encounter someone you can't kill, tell me, and I'll kill them!"

...

The sun was bright, and the sky was clear blue.

The weather was originally good today, but after Wei Changtian said these three sentences, everyone only felt their hands and feet were cold, and their whole body was as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Because the meaning behind these words was really chilling.

I not only killed these people blocking the road, but I also want to kill their families.

If the issue of stance was not considered, Wei Changtian's actions were undoubtedly extremely cruel.

Even if the different stances were considered, it seemed that he had gone too far.

Yes, you can regard these civilians blocking the road as enemies, and kill them if you kill them.

But what about their families?

Are those people really destined to die?

Although he knew that Wei Changtian was killing the chicken to warn the monkey, the retainer was still stunned for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and responded with a "Good".

When this word fell, Yongding City was destined to fall into an unprecedented chaos and fear.

...

Wei Changtian glanced at the alley with an icy gaze, said nothing more, turned around and stepped back into the carriage.

The carriage quickly started again, crushing over the corpses on the ground, and continued towards Dragon Head Mountain.

And at the same time...

"Young Master..."

At the end of the alley, a member of the Kui Dragon looked at Chu Xianping and asked cautiously: "We now..."

"Sigh, let's go."

Chu Xianping sighed softly: "Let's go back to Dragon Head Mountain first."

"That matter that Wei Changtian just said..."

The member of the Kui Dragon hesitated and asked again: "Do we want to intervene?"

...

Turning his head to look at the silent Yongding City outside the car, Chu Xianping was silent for a moment, and finally uttered a cold sentence.

"No need."

"Let him kill."
