The few dark shadows could not help but laugh out loud, drifting rapidly through the air, sometimes drawing close to Lin Yi, then moving away.

“The scent of the flesh is too enticing. You, a mere Foundation Building cultivator, plan on exterminating us? Shen Bao Hua sent you here to die, and you thought you’d achieved some benefit.”

“Enough talk. Let’s torture him first.”

Lin Yi started to get bored with their chatter. Turning his palms into fists, he channeled some weak thunder and lightning and began to aggressively attack these shadows.

Killing them directly would be boring, and it wouldn’t do justice to the innocent people they’ve tortured and killed.

Under his thunderous punches, these Foundation Building Realm shadows screamed in anguish, attempting to flee in vain, but he was even faster.

With each brutal hit, the once arrogant dark shadows screamed pitifully for mercy. They now had no doubt this boy was here to exterminate them.

“Elder, spare us, please spare us.”

Ignoring their pleas, Lin Yi ruthlessly beat a few of these dark shadows until they were barely flickering, with only a bit of life force remaining.

After freezing these dark shadows in place, he moved over to the skeletal remains and activated the Rebirth Charm.

However, as soon as the Rebirth Charm attracted the resentment within, Lin Yi suddenly crushed the charm. The resentment was not purified but coalesced into faces in the air, looking at the dark shadows with hatred.

“Wait a bit. Everyone will have their chance at revenge.” Lin Yi smiled and then attracted all the resentment from the surrounding skeletons.

He then motioned and said, “Hatred has its source, debts have their debtors. Go ahead and exact your revenge. Leave that one to me. I still have use for him.”

The resentment, transformed from these skeletons, instantly charged at the few dark shadows and started to viciously consume them.

But the dark shadows, already beaten by Lin Yi until they were left with only a bit of life force, were incapacitated.

All they could do was to watch in horror as they were being devoured by these low-level resentful soul bodies, their screams even more piercing than before under the thunder and lightning blows.

Once these dark shadows were completely devoured, only then did Lin Yi pretend to take out the Rebirth Charm and perform the ritual of liberation.

The title “Little Compassion Little Mercy” had a way of gaining Virtue Points by liberating. It’s said compassion nurtures the soul.

However, he discovered a naturally occurring BUG: as long as the liberating action is used, even without the soul or Divine Sense, one can still obtain Virtue Points.

The Xuan Yin Sect Disciples previously turned to ash by him also earned Virtue Points because of this.

For the ruthless members of the Paper Shadow Sect, Lin Yi didn’t want to provide them with any chance of liberation and reincarnation.

Subsequently, he took out the Rebirth Charm again and liberated all the resentment transformed from these skeletons.

The resentment turned into white shadowy figures. Unlike nefarious spirits or cultivators, they showed their gratitude by kneeling down and giving him deep bows, instead of a fist and palm salute.

After the liberation, Lin Yi quickly turned to look at the only surviving dark shadow, without checking how many Virtue Points he had gained.

That shadow suddenly felt a chill down his spine and fell to his knees, pleading for mercy without hesitation, “Elder, spare me. As long as you swear to let me go…”

“I will give you all the treasures of the Paper Shadow Sect. Otherwise, you will end up with nothing. We have hidden them in a place you can never find.”

Lin Yi just smiled. Although for cultivators, vows hardly had any binding power and failing to keep them wouldn’t have any immediate negative impact,

rumors said that unkept vows would turn into demon power during Crossing Tribulation, thereby increasing its difficulty.

Thus, cultivators with hopes of Flying Immortality after undergoing Tribulation Crossing seldom made promises they could not keep, to avoid increasing the difficulty of the tribulation.

However, for some cultivators who had given up hope or walked the path of wickedness and devils, the future tribulation wasn’t something they’d care about.

This thing, neither human nor ghost, probably thought its actions were righteous and would absolutely keep its vow.

But, should such a murderer and torturer, who enjoyed his brutal actions, deserve a vow from him?

Lin Yi opened the title panel, deciding to test the effects of the Good Person title.

After equipping the title and activating the Minor Blessing State, he said, “The only thing you can do now is to tell me where you hid the treasures. Then I might consider sparing you. Otherwise, you only have death to look forward to.”

At that moment, the dark shadow, as if under some kind of enchantment, seemed to utterly believe in Lin Yi’s words, “You’re right… I’ll tell you where we hid the treasures…”
