Chapter 119: What Can Be Done, Shall Be Done
Hu Quan was secretly amazed; such a naturally talented person was something he had never seen before in his life.
For Hu Quan, it didn’t matter how many people the Yanwu family sent; even if it were just Yun Yi, it was his only chance.
Hu Quan knew very well that to save his granddaughter, he could only rely on Yun Yi. No one else could help him.
Perhaps in his heart, Yun Yi, at the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, was not a match for Pan Hong, but Yun Yi was still his only hope.
"I come from Xuan City, three hundred miles away. For many years, I have run an escort agency, specializing in safe transport. This time, I took a job to deliver a batch of medicinal materials from the Hong family in Jade Wheel City."
Hu Quan’s eyes were dull as he spoke, "Compared to Xuan City, Jade Wheel City is quite a prosperous place, and it is near the Jade Wheel Mountain Range, rich in resources. I was happy to receive such a job. Plus, it was only a three-hundred-mile journey, not far at all, and I didn’t expect to encounter any problems on the way. So, I brought eleven people from the escort agency along, and I also took my granddaughter with me, thinking we could enjoy the scenery as a trip. The delivery went smoothly, without any obstacles. My granddaughter was filled with joy, but little did I know, just after arriving in Jade Wheel City, disaster struck."
As he spoke these words, Hu Quan’s expression turned fierce again, clearly indicating that the experience was still fresh in his memory and he could never forget it.
"Although I heard that Jade Wheel City is filled with many people and incredibly chaotic before coming here, I didn’t expect it to be this chaotic. They targeted my granddaughter and tried to snatch her away. Naturally, we could not accept that, but unfortunately, we were outnumbered. There were Demon Humans involved, and we were no match for them. They took my granddaughter and killed five of my escort agency companions, while the remaining five were captured to work in the mines. Even the Hong family’s medicinal herbs were taken."
Hu Quan gritted his teeth. This journey as an escort was probably the biggest regret of his life. Although he knew Jade Wheel City was chaotic, he didn’t expect it to be this chaotic.
"What is the Hong family’s power in Jade Wheel City?"
Yun Yi asked.
"The Hong family can be considered one of the big families in Jade Wheel City. They run a business association, and the head of the Hong family is also a master at the eighth grade of the Innate Realm. But now, Jade Wheel City is ruled by Pan Hong. Ever since Pan Hong started practicing dark magic and teamed up with the Demon Humans, he has changed greatly. There are several powers like the Hong family in Jade Wheel City, but they all dare not speak out against Pan Hong."
Hu Quan said, "On that day, I was lucky to escape. Later, I quietly sneaked into Jade Wheel City to gather information and even asked the Hong family for help. But they were too afraid to act, fearing that they would offend Pan Hong and bring disaster upon themselves. These days, Jade Wheel City has been capturing young girls everywhere. I have been looking into it, and all these girls are being held at the City Master’s mansion. Eager to save my granddaughter, I managed to sneak into the City Master’s mansion today, but unfortunately, I was discovered and had to run here. You already know what happened afterward."
Yun Yi sighed. Hu Quan’s experiences were truly tragic. Once, he had a thriving escort agency and lived a good life in Xuan City, but now, after a trip to Jade Wheel City, he faced complete disaster. This was indeed a huge blow for the old man.
"Old man, don’t be sad for now. Blood vengeance can only be washed away with the enemy’s blood. The living must do something for the dead. Moreover, you still have your granddaughter to save. At least, before the night of the full moon, your granddaughter should be safe. During your time in Jade Wheel City, did you gather any information about the City Master’s strength?"
Yun Yi spoke, knowing Hu Quan’s sorrow, but at this moment, sadness was useless and wouldn’t solve anything.
"Brother Yun, since I am older than you, I will dare to call you little brother. I don’t really like the titles of young master or old master. I, Hu Quan, am a straightforward person. You are right, sadness solves no problems. What we need to do now is to pick ourselves up and try to save my granddaughter on the night of the full moon."
Hu Quan took a deep breath, then took out two healing pills from his storage bag and swallowed them.
"You’re right, brother. We must repay evil with evil."
Yun Yi said.
"I have not thoroughly investigated the overall strength of the City Master’s Mansion, but it must be very strong. Pan Hong himself has reached the peak of the eighth grade of the Innate Realm, almost stepping into the ninth grade. This full moon night, Pan Hong plans to take the virgin blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine girls to practice dark magic, aiming to break into the Lingyuan Realm. Besides Pan Hong, he has some powerful Demon Humans by his side. These Demon Humans are humans who have been corrupted by practicing dark arts and are a hundred times more brutal than real demons. Moreover, Pan Hong has many followers from various backgrounds, and they are not kind people. However, I have not found out how strong these followers are beyond Pan Hong. Anyway, the power of the City Master’s Mansion can only be described as unfathomable."
Hu Quan spoke, and for a person at the sixth grade of the Innate Realm, the power of the City Master’s Mansion could only be described as terrifying. He felt as small as an ant before the City Master’s Mansion.
Yun Yi’s face was grim, and the fury in his eyes seemed ready to burst out.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine girls—Pan Hong harms innocent lives for his own selfish desires. Such cruelty is truly inhumane.
The path of cultivation inevitably involves killing, but this kind of killing is not slaughtering or senseless killing, devoid of humanity.
There is a right way to kill!
Heaven’s way and human morality cannot be broken!
A cultivator’s true heart must not waver!
Those girls are innocent; what Pan Hong has done is against justice.
This time, Yun Yi has made up his mind to act for the sake of heaven.
"Little Yun, it seems your task this time is not so easy to complete; I fear even that woman Xiao Ruoshui doesn’t know how chaotic Jade Wheel City has become, nor does she realize how powerful Pan Hong truly is," said Black Wind.
"To know something is impossible yet do it is foolish! To know something is possible yet not do it is cowardly. For me, Jade Wheel City is not beyond reach; I, Yun Yi, will bring back clear skies here."
Yun Yi’s eyes shone brightly, his spirit surged, and the aura of a king appeared once more. Hu Quan, beside him, was inspired by Yun Yi’s presence and felt as if he had suddenly become thirty years younger.
"How impressive! I like it. Just a small place like Jade Wheel City, just a small person like Pan Hong, just a few Demon Humans. I can’t believe it!"
Black Wind’s two claws waved around excitedly.
"By the way, brother, did you just say you still have five people from the escort agency who were captured to work in the mine? What kind of mine?"
Yun Yi suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but ask.
