Chapter 28: Righteous Assistance

  The mother was suddenly transferred to the topic and sighed:

  "Erliang was an unlucky child, his wife died early, and he married such a young wife. She looked good, but she was absolutely a jinx. Erliang was obedient to her in every way, but in the end, he was still cuckolded and lost his life."

  Five nights ago, the Erliang family suddenly let out a mournful cry. The next day, everyone found that Erliang had died. His young wife said he had died of acute illness. After the government's examination, it was finally confirmed as sudden death from acute heart disease.

  The shop and property thus fell to this young wife, who the next day sold Erlang's daughter to a human trafficker. It was only later that everyone learned that this woman had been having an affair with someone, and when Erlang discovered it, the adulterous pair joined forces to murder him, seize his property, and sell his daughter.

  "Poor girl, I introduced her to you before, it's said that she was sold not long after and then disappeared, probably fallen into the hands of human traffickers and met a tragic end. Such a tender and delicate little thing, falling into the hands of those human traffickers, what good could come of it? It's really a pity."

  Yu Ze Cheng didn't expect that the sweet smiling girl would die like this. She had even given herself an egg, who knows how she managed to save it up. A poor child, her mother died early, her father was cruel, and from dawn till dusk she had to get up and work, struggling hard just to survive, but in the end she still died. Uncontrollably, my eyes turned red.

  Yu Ze Cheng said:

  "Doesn't the government care? How can they be so careless with people's lives?"

  Mother said:

  "It was only later that we found out the adulterer was a member of the Chen family, and also the cousin of Lei Ban Tou, the head of the yamen runners. He had spent a lot of money to silence the matter, and Er Liang being an outsider with no relatives or clan to avenge him, so it just ended like that. After he died, his body was cremated the next day, not even his wife dared to bury him, fearing exposure. Now there's nowhere to seek justice."

  Yu then slammed his hand on the table and said:

  "This couple will not have good fortune."

  The mother and son chatted for a few more sentences, then the mother drank some high soup and rested to sleep. Yu Ze Cheng couldn't fall asleep, and the figure of Xu Xiao Yan kept appearing in his mind. Actually, he had already forgotten what she looked like, but that egg would never be forgotten.

  Suddenly Yu Ze Cheng sprang up and said: Since heaven won't punish you, then I will. Heaven has its own justice, if the time hasn't come yet, then let me take its place for now.

  As he thought of this, Yu Zhen's heart burned like a flame. He changed into a suit of clothes, took up his dagger and precious sword, and waited until the third watch to slip out of the door unnoticed.

  It rained again that night, very similar to the night he stole books and killed someone. Yu Zecheng quietly went to Xu's mansion, which was the house Xu Erlang had bought with his hard work for a lifetime, but as it turned out, the house belonged to others, the big bed belonged to others, and even his wife belonged to others.

  The Xu family's large courtyard had a big dog guarding the gate. Yu Zecheng thought that this time, the dog medicine could be used. He threw it far away, and before long, the big dog was knocked out by the medicine, motionless, lying on the ground in a coma. Yu Zecheng turned around, his feet touching the ground, stretched out his hand and easily cleared the six-foot-high courtyard wall, lightly landing inside the courtyard.

  Xu's big yard is a quadrangle courtyard, with two side houses inhabited by hired long workers, and the three large tile-roofed houses in the middle are the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

  Yu Ze Cheng quietly advanced, but actually didn't need to use it. After Xu Erliang died, his little wife cleared out all the hired workers, and the whole courtyard was left with just her and her lover.

  Yu then quietly walked step by step to the window, and when he reached the outside of the window, he heard a woman's arrogant humming voice coming from inside. The adulterous couple was working hard inside, their voices extremely loud and audible even outside.

  No need to ask, the matter is clear, the adulterer and adulteress. Yu Zecheng walked to the door, inserted a dagger into the door gap, pried open the door, and pushed it in.

  Sneaking into the inner room, only to see a couple of naked bodies exercising there, Yu Zecheng quickly walked into the house. The woman downstairs saw Yu Zecheng in black and let out a scream. The man upstairs thought he had reached the climax, but the woman couldn't take it anymore, and he was also getting exhausted, using all his strength.

  Yu Ze Cheng didn't waste any words, walked over and pulled up the man's head, the dagger sliced through his neck, the man was at a critical moment, suddenly convulsing violently, unsure if it was pleasure or pain, blood splattered everywhere, the entire room was splattered with blood.

  The woman's face was covered in splattered blood, her mouth open as if to scream, when Yu Ze hastily picked up a piece of clothing and stuffed it into the woman's mouth. With a forceful push, he rolled the man's corpse to one side.

  In a corner of the large house, there was actually a spirit tablet for Xu Erliang. No matter what, this woman had to put on an act, and Yu Zecheng grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her towards the spirit tablet.

  The woman exerted herself to kick her legs, and her snow-white body trembled uncontrollably. However, she was still dragged here by Yu Zecheng. The woman no longer wailed, her eyes blinking hard as if she had something to say.

  The woman was naked, probably in her early twenties, with a slender figure and skin as white as milk. She had a certain charm, no wonder such things happened.

  She seemed to want to say something, but Yu Ze Cheng pulled off her mouth cloth, and she begged:

  "Grandfather, grandfather, don't kill me, I'm also forced to, I'm only twenty-one, please don't kill me, let me do whatever you want, I have gold and silver here, I can play the xiao, I'm very good at serving men, I'll serve you well..."

  Yu Ze said coldly:

  "Go and tell Xu Erliang and Xu Xiaoyan then. Your life is precious, are theirs worthless?"

  With a kick, he knocked the woman over, trampled on her back, pulled up her hair, and with one slash of his dagger, blood splattered everywhere.

  Yu Ze Cheng then beheaded the two and placed their heads in front of Xu Er Liang's spirit tablet. Not seeing a spirit position for Xu Xiao Yan, he casually picked up a wooden board and began carving a spirit tablet. It was only then that he realized he didn't even know Xu Xiao Yan's name.

  He thought and thought, and finally decided that it wasn't that he didn't know, but that she simply didn't have a name. Everyone just knew her as Xujia's daughter, poor child, lived a life without even having a name, who knows how much suffering she endured before her death, such a delicate girl fell into the hands of human traffickers, it wouldn't end well.

  Yu Zhen then let out a long sigh and slowly said:

  "Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya, may you have a good journey from now on. I've avenged your great injustice for you, and it's also a way to make up for that egg of yours."

  "You don't have a name yet, so don't call yourself Xiao Ya, it doesn't sound good, just call yourself Xu Xiaoya instead."

  Yu Ze Cheng finished speaking and engraved the three characters on a spirit tablet, placing it below Xu Er Liang's spirit tablet, then lit an incense stick.

  Unintentionally, Yu turned around and suddenly saw two figures in the house behind him staring at him, one of whom was precisely Xu Xiaoyan.

  Yu then jumped forward in fright, turned his head back and saw that there were indeed two people behind him. He couldn't help but shout:

  "Who are you? Human or ghost?"

  The person in front was none other than Xu Xiaoyao, who was said to have died. She suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Zecheng and said:

  "Thank you, Zecheng brother, for avenging my great hatred. I am a human being, this is my master, he saved me. I want to go up the mountain to learn martial arts, originally wanted to avenge and leave, who knew that Zecheng brother had already avenged my great hatred."

  After finishing, he bowed his head to Yu Ze Cheng three times. The person behind Xu Xiao Yan was standing there, but his whole body was covered in a layer of fog, making it impossible to see his appearance. At this time, Yu Ze Cheng still did not know what this represented, which was the extraordinary phenomenon of the Golden Elixir's great completion.

  He said:

  "Alright, kid, you're done here, you can leave now. Your five elements spiritual root is at the initial stage of Qi induction, and you have no hope of becoming an immortal. But since you avenged my disciple for me, I'll consider this a reward for you, sending you into the fetal breathing state."

  After finishing speaking, Yu Ze Cheng was like someone was pulling his body, and he suddenly rushed out of the room, jumped over the courtyard wall, and ran thousands of meters away.

  Xu Xiaoyao knelt in front of her father's memorial tablet, lit an incense stick, kowtowed three times, and silently recited for half a day before saying to her master:

  "Master, let's go."

  The person behind nodded and said:

  "Alright, your worldly ties have been severed, let's go."

  Xu Xiaoyao said:

  "Master, you gave me the name Yu Yan, but I don't want to use it anymore. From now on, I'll be called Xu Xiao Ya, please grant me your permission."

  The man spoke with a resolute tone and let out a long sigh, saying:

  "The dust has settled, the emotional bond is reborn. Alright, let's go! Our Mixed Yuan Sword Sect is all about being unbridled and doing as we please. Whatever we want, we must obtain. As long as we have our swords in hand, nothing in this world can stand in the way of our desires."

  With a wave of his hand, the two turned into lightning and rose into the air, circling above the Xu family home before striking down with a thunderclap that shook the entire city. On the ground appeared four large characters: "Evil will be repaid with evil".

  Then this lightning flew out towards the horizon, and several gods in the city let out a sigh of relief, this ancestor can be considered gone.

  In fact, the final action was done by Xu Xiaya asking her master to do it. The purpose is only one: to cover up the traces of Yu Zecheng. In this way, the news of Xianjia's eradication of evil in Linhai City will be passed down, and it will be performed as a thrilling story, spreading throughout Tangguo, and even the entire Quanzhou.

  Yu Zecheng was a thousand miles away, watching the divine might of the lightning, watching the two ride their swords into the distance. His heart was more excited than ever before, it was too, too wonderful! This is what an immortal looks like, this is the divine might of a cultivator! I want to be like that too, I must be like that as well.

  At this time the whole city had already woken up, countless people came out to watch the excitement, Yu Zecheng also took off his bloody clothes and pretended to be onlookers, mixed into the crowd, watched for a while before returning home.

  His mother was still sleeping after drinking the nourishing soup, while Yu Zecheng sat in his own room, recalling the divine aura of that person. As he left, he said:

  "Take me to the fetal breath realm? Are you kidding me?"

  As the thought arose, a primordial energy mass suddenly appeared in his body, which was exactly what that person had sent into Yu Ze Cheng's body. It massively dispersed spiritual energy, driving Yu Ze Cheng's blood energy to circulate, was this the reward that the cultivator had spoken of? Could it help him cultivate to the fetal breathing realm?
