"Young Master..."

Su Lianyu, who was in Ye Ye's arms, heard his voice, looked up and saw the familiar and unfamiliar face, and her eyes were instantly wet with tears.

Immediately after that, she seemed to be exhausted, and fell into a coma in Ye Ye's arms.

Ye Ye hurriedly took out a salute of the Hundred Spirit Pill from his arms and asked Su Lianyu to take it, and after holding it aside, he finally turned to look at the other Sword Casting Sect disciples who were still standing on the side.

"My lord, spare your life!"

This group of Sword Casting Sect disciples saw with their own eyes that Hong Yan of the Martial Sect Realm was killed by Ye Ye with one move, so they didn't even have the courage to escape in front of Ye Ye, and they stood in place one by one and trembled.

"Say, why are you killing all the villagers of Huaxi Village?"

Ye Ye came to these Sword Casting Sect disciples, and after glancing at them coldly, he asked them in his voice without a trace of emotion.

One of the Sword Casting Sect disciples hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to stand up and humbly replied to Ye Ye: "If you return to your lordship, our Sword Casting Sect is secretly mining in the southwest under the order of the True Xian Sect, and is responsible for providing the True Sect with a large number of weapons and equipment for them to expand their territory. In order not to attract the attention of other big forces, Zhenxianmen ordered us to exterminate the miners after every mining, and our Sword Forging Gate is really innocent!"

"Yes, yes, all of this is what the True Virtuous Sect meant!"

"Our Sword Forging Sect is only a subordinate force of the True Virtuous Sect, so we don't dare to disobey their orders at all!"

"Please be gracious, and leave us a way to live!"

After hearing this, the other Sword Forging Sect disciples hurriedly agreed, saying that their actions were all forced to do so.

After Ye Ye received their reply, an extremely cold light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was full of murderous intent: "Is this the true virtuous sect of the head of the Seven Gentlemen of Canglang?

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked towards Su Lianyu without looking back. Just when the disciples of the Sword Forging Sect thought that they could pick up a life, Ye Ye, who was far away, suddenly kicked the long sword under his feet backwards.

Hello!

The long sword circled around these Sword Casting Sect disciples as if it had eyes, and after a while, all the Sword Casting Sect disciples were all sealed by a sword, and they fell to the ground and kept bleeding.

Ye Ye didn't have the slightest sympathy on his face, and he didn't even look back, and soon carried Su Lianyu to her residence to rest under the leadership of Chen Xinlan.

The surviving villagers of Huaxi Village also began to clean up the mess and solemnly bury their deceased relatives before starting the process of rebuilding their homes. There was a deep sadness on their faces, and some of them lost all sparkle in their eyes, living in this world like walking dead.

Ye Ye silently took care of the unconscious Su Lianyu, while looking at the scene in front of him and fell into thought. Before that, he had never imagined that such a remote mountain village would become the first victims after the beginning of the world chaos. And according to the information provided by those Sword Forging Sect disciples, it was not once or twice that they had been ordered to slaughter the village, but because they had not encountered any resistance before, they had been unaware.

This is still the case in a small southwest, and the number of ordinary people affected by the entire Canglang Dynasty is even more unimaginable. Perhaps when Ye Ye thought that everything was still in time, the real chaos had already begun, and the innocent people who suffered as a result were far more than Ye Ye had expected.

"If Yan Lieyang is here, it is estimated that he will persuade me to inherit the birth of the Tower of Babel, and directly uproot the forces of the Seven Gentlemen of Canglang!"

Ye Ye sighed lightly in his heart, and once again recalled the scene when Yan Lieyang blew himself up to save him. Although after so many twists and turns, he was no longer as disgusted with Yan Lieyang's proposal as he was at the beginning, Ye Ye was still a little dazed in his heart, and he didn't know how to choose to be able to truly have no regrets.

Just when he was hesitating and tangling in his heart, there was a sudden commotion outside Su Lianyu's residence. Ye Ye heard the sound and went outside to take a look, and found that a group of villagers were talking about Chen Xinlan's mother and son, mostly accusing and admonishing Chen Xinlan.

"Su Jie's mother, it's useless for you to force a child like this, the awakening of the martial soul is not such a simple thing!"

"The child and his father have just left, can't you talk about it later, you have to put so much pressure on Su Jie now!"

"Whether you can awaken the martial soul or not is determined by heaven, why do you force him like this?"

While admonishing Chen Xinlan, the villagers pulled Su Jie, who was choking, aside, as if they couldn't bear to see him being forced to die by his mother.

Ye Ye listened for a while, and finally understood the reason for the matter.

It turned out that Chen Xinlan was grief-stricken after Su Jie was killed, and she was deeply aware of the cruelty of this world. In order to protect Su Jie's safety and avenge her father after she became stronger, Chen Xinlan actually forced Su Jie to swear to awaken the martial soul within a year, otherwise she would die in front of him now.

In the face of the strong persuasion of the villagers, Chen Xinlan was not moved at all, and once again pulled Su Jie in front of him and said in a stern tone: "Xiaojie, if you don't awaken the martial spirit, we two will not be able to survive in this world! Instead of being brutally killed in the future, I might as well follow your father to die now, can you really bear to watch your mother commit suicide in front of you?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was deliberately stimulating Su Jie to increase the possibility of him awakening the martial spirit. But because Chen Xinlan's method was too radical, she was besieged and accused by the villagers, and even Su Jie seemed to be scared and kept crying.

"But, but, I don't have the confidence to awaken the martial soul within a year, mother, I beg you, don't force me anymore!"

Although Su Jie is still young, he is already very sensible, and he knows that he can't easily promise what he can't do, so he replied to Chen Xinlan while crying.

However, Chen Xinlan was obviously unwilling to let him go easily, and continued to put pressure on Su Jie: "You have already seen with your own eyes how your father was killed, don't you hate those murderers who killed your father?

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it! Mother, just let me go!"

Su Jie's mood almost collapsed, wiping away tears while pleading with Chen Xinlan. Seeing this, the villagers felt even more sorry for Su Jie, and they all pointed at Chen Xinlan, feeling that she had gone too far.

But this scene made Chen Xinlan even more annoyed, and a trace of disappointment appeared on her face, and she slapped Su Jie in front of her, causing Su Jie to stand unsteadily and sit directly on the ground.

"Why are you as cowardly as your father? Now you don't even listen to me, have you never thought about your mother? If you don't swear now, believe it or not, I'll hang myself in front of you?"

Chen Xinlan took out the rope and prepared to hang herself as she spoke, Su Jie saw this and hurriedly rushed up to hug her, begging Chen Xinlan not to force him.

Ye Ye, who had just exchanged for a Soul Awakening Pill, finally couldn't help it when he saw this, and stepped forward to Chen Xinlan and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, don't force him, I have a way to make Su Jie awaken the martial soul now, don't worry!"

As he spoke, he handed the Soul Awakening Pill in his hand to Su Jie, and said to Su Jie in a solemn tone: "Eat this pill, you should be able to awaken the martial soul! Don't be afraid, I won't harm you!"

The villagers all showed suspicious expressions after hearing Ye Ye's words, but because Ye Ye was their savior, they didn't open their mouths to refute. Chen Xinlan, who didn't know much about Ye Ye's origins, also didn't believe Ye Ye's words, but after Su Jie got the pill, he swallowed it without any hesitation, and solemnly thanked Ye Ye: "Thank you, uncle!

Ye Ye nodded, and then instructed Su Jie to sit cross-legged and teach him how to cooperate with the medicinal power of the Soul Awakening Pill to promote the awakening of the martial soul. Chen Xinlan and the villagers were skeptical at first, but after a while, when they found that Su Jie's body had indeed begun to exude a faint fluctuation of Yuan Power, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"A miracle! must be a miracle!"

"I've really awakened the martial spirit, my God!"

One after another exclamations came from the mouths of the villagers, and almost all of them looked at Su Jie with a deep look of envy in their eyes. Only Chen Xinlan, who was extremely cold and selfish just now, finally showed a faint sense of relief when she saw this scene, and then she directly pulled out a dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed it into her heart.

Hello!

hit the nail on the head, and in an instant, Chen Xinlan fell to the ground, with only the last breath left in her body.

"Mother!"

Su Jie, who had just opened his eyes, saw this scene, came to Chen Xinlan's side with red eyes, hugged Chen Xinlan and cried out in tears: "Mother, what are you doing? Haven't I already awakened the martial spirit? Why do you still want to kill yourself?"

Ye Ye and the villagers were also puzzled, and looked at Chen Xinlan with a look of shock in their eyes. Ye Ye hurriedly came to Chen Xinlan's side to help her up, planning to take out the lark pill to save her life as soon as possible.

"Ahem, Childe, no, don't waste your elixir! Since the moment Ah Jun died, my heart has been dead, and the only thing I have ever taken is my child. But、But now that Xiaojie has awakened the martial spirit, I will only be a drag on him if I live, so it's better to go down and accompany Ah Jun!"

Chen Xinlan stretched out her hand to stop Ye Ye, and explained to everyone angrily. Ye Ye fell into silence directly after hearing this, and the movements in his hands immediately stopped.

Su Jie was crying, holding Chen Xinlan's gradually cold body and talking incoherently, not knowing what to do at all.

"Ahem, child, don't blame your mother! Just now, I just said that just now I just wanted to stimulate you to awaken your martial spirit, you don't have to feel self-blame, and don't think about avenging your father. You live well, it's my mother's last wish!"

After saying this, Chen Xinlan finally swallowed her breath, and lost all the vitality in her eyes. Su Jie hugged her and wept bitterly, and the villagers who witnessed this scene all sighed heavily.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. In troubled times, how easy is it to survive?

In order not to burden Su Jie, Chen Xinlan committed suicide in order to seek relief. Although Ye Ye could save her life, he chose to respect her wishes in the end. Life or death, as long as there is no complaint or regret, no one is qualified to interfere.

But at the same time, Ye Ye also knew very well in his heart that if he could live well, who would want to die cleanly? If Su Jun had not been killed, Chen Xinlan would never have chosen to commit suicide after Su Jie awakened his martial spirit. And the root of all this, Ye Ye knows it well, and whether he stands by or rises up is the biggest problem that bothers him.
