??1879 Cruelty (2)

Yun Lintian halted and peered into a nearby tent. His expression immediately darkened at the sight.

Inside the tent, a group of soldiers were assaulting women and laughing with pleasure. What was worse was that they didn't simply do it, but they tortured them in inhumane ways.

Yun Lintian's anger surged through the roof. Even though he had witnessed numerous tragic and miserable scenes, he could never become accustomed to them.

Just as Yun Lintian was about to let his emotions get the best of him, Gui Xuan seemed to sense his mood and raised his little hand to gently touch Yun Lintian's chest.

A warm sensation on his chest immediately pulled him out of the flames of fury. It wasn't the right moment to intervene.

Yun Lintian suppressed his anger and resolutely walked away.

"Thank you." He whispered as he glanced at Gui Xuan.

Gui Xuan tilted his head and nonchalantly stuffed the jerky into his mouth.

Yun Lintian's eyes turned cold as he passed through the rows of tents. He could hear wild laughter and miserable screams from them. Without a doubt, it was no different from what he had witnessed earlier.

He walked around for a while until he spotted a relatively large tent at the end of the row.

Without further thought, he swiftly approached the tent and concealed his presence.

"Damn it! You are all trash. How could you let them escape? Do you know how severely I was scolded by the higher-ups earlier?" An angry male voice resounded from within the tent as Yun Lintian drew closer.

Yun Lintian cautiously peered into the tent and saw three men inside. One wore superior armor, indicating a higher status than the other.

"Now, we need to find more pigs." The general spoke as he took a deep breath to calm his anger. "You should know that it's not easy to find those damn pigs. They have probably gone into hiding by now."

The other two soldiers lowered their heads in silence.

The general slowly sat back in his seat and looked at the two. "Can you do it?"

One of the two hesitated briefly before reluctantly responding. "I will try my best."

"Try your best?" The general laughed with anger. "If you can't find them, I will kill you myself. Now, f*ck off!"

The soldier, who had responded earlier, shuddered and hurriedly spoke. "Yes, my lord!"

He turned around and ran away.

Yun Lintian quickly stepped aside and waited until the soldier left before prying into the tent again.

The general glanced at the remaining soldier and said coldly. "How is the situation over there?"

"Everything has returned to normal after the Snake Ghost King left the battlefield. We currently have twenty active troops." The soldier responded promptly.

The general rubbed his temples and muttered to himself. "It would be great if the Flower Ghost Queen were here."

The soldier agreed with the general's words. Everyone didn't have to work as hard when the Flower Ghost Queen was present.

"I heard that the Bridge of Oblivion is about to open soon. The Snake Ghost King will definitely leave soon." The soldier spoke in a low voice.

The general's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's great! How could I forget about it?"

The sooner the Snake Ghost King left, the better his life would become.

The soldier hesitated briefly but then mustered up his courage. "My lord, do you know the reason for the current situation?"

He didn't understand why they were ordered to capture more common ghosts and let them die on the battlefield.

The general's expression changed dramatically. He quickly scanned the surroundings before issuing a warning to the soldier. "You shouldn't inquire about it."

The soldier swallowed nervously. He was afraid that the general would kill him.

The general spoke in a low voice. "I have noticed your many years of dedicated service, so I should tell you something… Have you heard the recent rumor?"

"The recent rumor?" The soldier frowned slightly. A moment later, his expression changed. "Could it be…?"

The general nodded solemnly. "It's true that the higher-ups are planning to open the boundaries of the Netherworld. If there are no mistakes, we should be able to leave this damn place soon."

The soldier was shocked, but soon, his mood turned to excitement. "Really, my lord?"

The general chuckled. "Now you know why I don't want to enter the battlefield. I don't want to die before that day."

Yun Lintian immediately understood everything after listening to the conversation. It was as he had expected. The recent recruitment was related to the so-called sacrifice. However, Yun Lintian didn't understand how it worked. What could they accomplish by killing numerous ghosts?

Yun Lintian set the matter aside and silently retreated. He continued to walk around the camp and roughly mapped out the entire layout.

At the same time, Yun Lintian discovered that the strongest one here was only in the Divine Emperor Realm. It was clear that the Snake Ghost King had already departed.

Yun Lintian quietly left the camp and headed to the battlefield several kilometers ahead.

As he approached, the sound of the battle grew louder.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this moment, three troops were engaged in an intense battle. Most of them were at the Monarch Profound Realm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Weapons and energy collided. Everyone unleashed their full power and put everything into their attacks.

Yun Lintian observed the intense battlefield with a solemn expression. He could see that they were struggling to survive. Unfortunately, they had no idea about the scheme into which they had fallen. All the efforts were futile here.

After witnessing the brutality of the war, Yun Lintian turned around and headed back to the camp.

He found a relatively secluded spot and cautiously extended his spiritual sense outward. At the same time, the golden sword appeared before him, emitting lightning sparks.

A moment later, Yun Lintian's spiritual sense firmly locked onto the ghost soldiers that were torturing those women. With a flick of his finger, the golden sword transformed into a thunderbolt, rushing towards the targets.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

lightsn?v?l All the ghost soldiers Yun Lintian had locked onto instantly disappeared as the sword pierced through their heads one after another. Everything happened so quickly and quietly that no one had noticed it.

After dealing with the ghost soldiers, Yun Lintian silently moved the victims over.

"What's that!?"

A few soldiers on patrol duty suddenly saw several women flying out of the tents. They immediately knew that something big had occurred!
