191: Huangji City, destroyed!

The beautiful woman lowered her head, looking at her body pierced by an arm, her eyes filled with disbelief.

That arm belonged to Huang Que.

However, Huang Que's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was as gentle as before.

His other hand embraced the beautiful woman's head, pressing it tightly against his chest, "I'm sorry, but it will be over soon, I'm sorry..."

The beautiful woman wanted to look up at Huang Que, but his hand pressed her head against his chest, preventing her from lifting it.

Ignoring the beautiful woman's actions, Huang Que's hand on her head began to gently caress her.

"I wanted to stay with you a little longer, but alas, time is almost up..."

Huang Que looked up at the people continuously gathering in the inner city. It was almost time!

Then, the arm piercing the beautiful woman's body suddenly exerted force.

The arm instantly erupted with a powerful fluctuation, shattering the beautiful woman it had impaled into pieces on the spot.

In the main hall, she was shattered into fragments, scattered across the floor.

Looking at the scene in the main hall, Huang Que's eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow.

He then stomped his foot in the main hall, and those fragments were instantly pulverized into a bloody mist.

The bloody mist ignited with tiny sparks, then completely vanished.

Just as Huang Que had thought before, as long as he could live.

What else was there that could not be sacrificed?

Subsequently, Huang Que looked behind him again.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the thick walls and then pass through layers of obstructions.

He saw them, he saw his wives, concubines, children, and relatives.

The jealousy and open and secret struggles of those wives and concubines...

The playful antics, arrogance, and domineering behavior of those little ones in the past...

Now, they continuously surfaced in Huang Que's mind, entering his vision.

But what did it matter?

They were all going to die anyway!

Rather than dying at the hands of others, it was better for Huang Que to give them a quick end.

This way, not all of them would be completely gone.

At least, Huang Que was still alive.

People were still gathering outside, and Huang Que planned to wait a little longer before taking action.

To show his sincerity, he decided to go to the back first and deal with all of them.

Similarly, it would be a quick end for them too!

Thus, Huang Que walked towards the back.

This was the residence of his children, wives, concubines, and some close relatives.

Aside from some trusted subordinates and maidservants, there were no other outsiders.

And those trusted subordinates had just been summoned by him to help gather the crowd.

With another wave of his hand, under a spatial fluctuation, no sound could escape from here.

He walked for a while and found that there seemed to be some activity today.

Most of his wives, concubines, and children were gathered in one place.

That was good; he wouldn't have to search for them one by one.

Thus, Huang Que used his spatial power and instantly appeared beside them.

His wives, concubines, and children were surprised to see Huang Que suddenly appear, and in such a manner.

Although somewhat unexpected, it wasn't overly so.

As the head of the family and the City Lord of Huangji City, Huang Que naturally held an extremely high position, both at home and outside.

Seeing Huang Que arrive, his wives, concubines, and children all bowed to him.

Those of higher status simply performed a normal bow, while those of lower status had to kneel and bow...

As for the children, those who could walk followed their respective birth mothers in bowing.

Those who had just been born were held by their birth mothers and bowed together.

Seeing them like this, Huang Que naturally accepted their bows with equanimity.

Before the people from Qiu Xian Hall arrived, this scene also happened every day.

So, Huang Que quickly told them to stand up, speaking in a harmonious tone, as if making small talk.

Looking at what they were doing, he asked curiously, "What were you all gathered here doing just now? It looks quite interesting."

Not everyone could just interject when he spoke.

So, the leader among the women replied with a charming smile, "To the City Lord, we are..."

Huang Que listened with a smile on his face, his hands behind his back, occasionally nodding and praising them a few times.

And Huang Que's hands, clasped behind him, had opened at some point.

His palms were empty, yet there seemed to be subtle fluctuations...

...The Qiu Xian Hall Elder watched silently from a place not far from Huang Que, where he could not be discovered.

Undoubtedly, anyone seeing such a cruel and bloody scene would feel a sense of unbearable pain, or at least their expression would change slightly.

But Chen De was not like that... Chen De was naturally the same.

And due to being the pinnacle of morality, Chen De would feel even more unbearable than others.

So...

"This kid is interesting! He's ruthless enough to survive."

"I think so too."

"This kid is a talent, he speaks well, and he's interesting, I really like him!"

"Honestly, I don't know why, but I'm a little reluctant to kill him!"

"What should we do? I seem to have that feeling too."

"In that case, when we leave, let him die a quick death!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Alright, alright!"

...Just as everyone was still discussing, an Elder suddenly pointed in Huang Que's direction.

He shouted, "Look, look, he's making his move, he's making his move!"

Hearing this, the Elders quickly turned to look, and the disciples couldn't help but follow suit.

"Oh my god, he really made a move!"

"This one is ruthless, such a small one, he directly crushed him into a meat paste along with his mother."

"Nonsense, this one is the ruthless one, that one move..."

...In fact, those Myriad Transformation Realm disciples could not see the scene that the Elders saw.

But this did not diminish their curiosity, and some who were close to Void Union Realm disciples began to ask questions.

Chen De was in the Demon Domain Realm and possessed powerful spatial talent.

Chen De could naturally see the scene there clearly.

But what could Chen De do?

In his life, Chen De could not bear to see such bloody scenes.

Such acts of self-interest, treating human lives as grass.

No matter how great the benefit, Chen De knew he would not do it.

Chen De really wanted to go down and uphold justice, to kill that scumbag.

But now Chen De was here, already struggling to protect himself.

Not to mention the few Heavenly Imperial Realm experts who might be watching from above.

Even these Elders in front of him, oh, including that scumbag below.

Chen De couldn't handle them, and he might even get himself involved.

Therefore, Chen De could only watch helplessly as human tragedies unfolded, yet he was powerless.

Since returning to Xuanzhe Continent, Chen De didn't know how many times he had felt such helplessness.

Chen De hated himself, why, why didn't he have enough power to uphold justice.

Chen De countless times wanted to disregard everything, even if it meant exposing his identity, even if it meant being instantly killed on the spot.

He could no longer remain silent, he could no longer just watch like this...

Just as Chen De looked at the Elders, about to sacrifice himself for justice.

At this moment, Chen De suddenly heard an Elder say,

"Quickly go to your respective assigned areas and prepare.

It's about to begin, it's about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Chen De blinked and rushed non-stop to his area...

...
