Yin-Yang Harmony System

Chapter 232

Outside the house, there were few men sitting on massive wolves. All of them were wearing black t-shirt along with black pants. There was another person standing in front of them while facing the crowd. He was clutching the arm of the little girl while kicking the old man away.

Most of those crowds were the villagers. They were quite poor and need to pay money for the protection that they do not want to seek rather they were forced to. Their village was quite close to a forest.

This was a heaven and hell for them. Being poor people without strength, they couldn't live in other places. This was the only place where they could find many fruits and vegetables to eat. Sometimes, they even encounter dead demon beasts.

Demon Beasts are the evolved animals that were prone to slaughter.. And, weak creatures were their perfect prey. As much as this place was heaven for those people, it was also hell due to those demon beasts.

And, the people who possess strength take money in return for protection. But, these people were forced to do so. The demon beast rarely attacks their village. In fact, it hasn't attacked the village at all. Although some people became the food of those demon beasts while searching for food, the village never suffered.

Until these people arrived. They used some techniques to lure the demon beasts to the village and killed them for the sake of showing their power. And, after that, they started collecting protection fees from villagers.

They are sucking these villagers dry to the point where children are born with malnutrition.

Whoosh!

Bang! Splash!

Suddenly, a figure dashed towards that man like the wind. His body was unseen by those people as he arrived in front of the man who was holding the child. Although his body was wrapped by the bandages, his crimson eyes froze his spine.

Before that man could figure out anything, a fist smashed on his face. While smashing his face, Mike caught the girl. His punch was so strong that the eyes and veins inside his head burst out as he fly hundreds of meters away.

"Wh---oo is he?"

"Boss, he is dead. Runaway! Runaway!"

When the man landed on the ground with his head splattering blood, other people that were riding the wolf realized everything that just happened. They didn't even look at Mike before escaping. But, suddenly appeared in front of one of them.

Mike couldn't use anything related to his innate abilities and that includes his ability energy. But, his Void Law never relied on it. This law consumes his stamina and his own comprehension. Though it required space essence at the start, it doesn't matter anymore.

Snapping his finger, Mike appeared and smashed on the head of another person. He slightly kicked the wolf to the ground. He couldn't let his potential dinner run away, can he?

After that, he continued snapping his finger few more times before he completely eliminated the entire group. Mike didn't understand their power level. But, their physical body was fragile like a baby.

Compared to the person whose strength is equal to the strength of thirty-two thousand average human males combined, that is nothing. This was even easier than he thought. But, it's all thanks to his fast speed.

He wasn't sure whether they could hurt him with their offensive move. He slowly turned around and dragged his bloody bandaged body in front of the crowd. When he appeared in front of them, all of them bowed down and shouted.

"Thank you benefactor for killing those thugs!"

Although they weren't sure whether Mike was a good guy or not, they didn't hesitate to thank him. Mike was a little startled by their response. He thought they would look at him as a monster or at least got shocked by his strength and fear him.

But, they didn't seem to have such a reaction. They were beaming with smiles and covered with tears. Those hungry faces and bodies made Mike bit his lip. He didn't know why but those words rang once again in his mind.

'You don't know just how many people in the world are dying due to starvation.'

Did Alena said that because she knew about these people? No, this is a completely different universe. But, even so, her words were true. There are people dying due to starvation. And, these people are just one of the group among many others.

He knows he shouldn't trust someone so easily but he can't just ignore humanity or the people. He slightly turned his head at other villagers and asked "Can you cook?"

The villager looked at each other and nodded their head. Then, Mike nods his head while walking towards those wolves. He lifts his spear and pierced deep inside them. There were nearly seven massive eight-foot-tall and fifteen-foot-long wolves.

After killing them, he walked towards those villagers and said "Cook those wolves tonight! Let's have a feast!"

Then, he turned his head at the old man who was supporting his granddaughter and said "Let's go inside! I need some information."

The old man nodded his head and his granddaughter followed him while peeking some glances at Mike. Unfortunately, he was wrapped in bandages. So, she couldn't see his handsomeness. That was his thoughts when he saw her glances.

After moving in, the old man kneeled in front of him and said "Thank you for saving my granddaughter, benefactor!"

"It's okay! I can't let my savior get insulted like that. And, I need information about this place as well." Mike shook his hand as he walked towards the bed.

Although he could move easily, his wounds were still not healed. That's why he needed the proper rest. The old man walked in front of him and asked "So benefactor, what would you like to know?"

 "Tell everything you know about this place!" Mike nods his head and asked.

The old man looked at Mike with a weird gaze but still nodded his head and explained "This village is known as Yellow Stone Village. Our village is on the border of Black Tiger Mountain. This whole forest and our small village are under the rule of Great Sun Kingdom."

"It is currently ruled by a royal family. I am not much knowledgeable about the Great Sun Kingdom but I know some details. There are eight great sects ruled by eight great families. These families are directly associated with the royal families."

Mike lifts his chin a little as he heard the information about his current position. He rested his cheek on his fist as he asked "What's your name?"

"My name is Yu Gan and my granddaughter's name is Yu Yufei. I had a son and a daughter-in-law who both died in the mouth of those demon beasts." The old man Yu Gan answered with sorrow and pain in his heart.

'I didn't ask your history.' Mike gave him a sharp look but quickly changed his gaze and asked "Can you tell me more about the sect?"

"For the sect, it would be a better idea to ask the village chief. Should I call him?" Yu Gan asked while embarrassedly rubbing his head.

Mike nods his head while Yu Gan rushed out of the hut. Silently he glanced at the girl who was constantly sneaking a peek at him. He slightly turned his head at her and asked "Are you curious about me?"

Yu Yufei was a little frightened by his words. But, still nodded her head with slight fear in her heart.

"How old are you?" Mike asked while looking at her deeply. Although he knew he shouldn't bore those intentions, he wasn't able to control his feelings.

"10!" Yu Yufei replied while shyly burying her head down.

"Oh! Then, what are you curious about?" Mike asked.

Yu Yufei hesitated for a moment before asking "Are you a cultivator?"

"What makes you think that?" Mike smiled as he asked again.

"You killed those bad guys so easily." Yu Yufei immediately answered.

"Aren't you afraid of killing?" Mike asked.

"My parents got eaten while saving me. I don't fear killing." Yu Yufei shook her head with a trace of sadness in her eyes. Mike sighed when he saw her expression. He could feel just how much pain was it for a child like her to see her parent's death.

Before he could say anything, Yu Gan entered the hut with another old man. This old man seemed a little healthier but his old age made him no different than Yu Gan.

"Benefactor, do you want to know something specific about those sects or just common information? If it is a piece of specific information, then I might not know everything. But, if it is common information, then I will do my best to answer all of your questions." The Village Chief spoke as he bowed in front of Mike.

"You can simply tell me everything you know about them. And, don't bow every time you see me!" Mike felt a little uncomfortable by their respect. Yu Gan and the village chief looked at each other with surprise but soon nodded their head.

"Benefactor, let's start with the name of eight great sects. The eight sects are ....."
