Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Entering the Village to Save People

"Such people are truly pitiable, miserable, and detestable." Purple Cloud had been silently observing everything outside until after Old Han died, she then indifferently spoke.

"That’s not right, Sister Yun. These people are not pitiable at all. Relying on one’s own power to commit evil acts is an injustice to the weaker ones. Although being weak is somewhat a fault, to protect ordinary people, Cultivators should not harm them indiscriminately." Mu Can, for the first time, boldly contradicted Purple Cloud’s statement.

When Mu Can was relatively weaker, he had already provoked Donghuang. Even after he lost his Cultivation and returned to the Mu Family, Donghuang did not send anyone to harm him. In a way, it was because of Donghuang’s pride, but it also showed a reluctance to harm Mu Can’s family.

Even when someone was finally sent to kill Mu Can, it was merely an order to kill him.

However, speaking of which, this world indeed operates on the law of the jungle, where survival of the fittest prevails. Many things are beyond reason when faced with absolute power.

Purple Cloud seemed to have entered into contemplation and did not continue talking with Mu Can.

"Long Yunyun, come with me to Old Han’s Mountain Village to rescue people." Seeing that all the bandits brought by Old Han had been slew, and their bodies were neatly and orderly buried by Old Wang and the others, Mu Can, looking at the complex-faced Long Yunyun, spoke.

There were still a few bandits in Old Han’s Mountain Village who hadn’t been punished, and so many young women waiting to be rescued.

Bringing Long Yunyun was only because she was the only girl here, and Mu Can felt that having Long Yunyun present would make rescuing those young women smoother.

"Okay, I’ll take you there." Long Yunyun did not continue to confront Mu Can. If she had known earlier about what Old Han had done, Long Yunyun wouldn’t even mind asking her family for help.

"I’ll go too." After finishing burying the bodies, Old Wang came over and said.

Old Wang, after all, was a farmer. Even though it was his first time burying bodies, he did it proficiently. Before burying Old Han and his gang, their equipment had been thoroughly looted by them.

Old Wang had even replaced his shabby broken knife with a brand-new broadsword.

"You don’t need to go. You take people from the village to pack up the belongings, and follow us on the road tomorrow." Long Yunyun looked at Old Wang and said, deciding to take the villagers and five children back to the Long Family tomorrow.

With the power of Long Yunyun’s family, providing these people with a stable life was relatively easy.

For these people, if they could have a good living environment, how many of them would choose to become bandits? Long Yunyun believed that all these old, weak, and ill people would be willing to leave with her.

"Big sister, where are we going?" Old Wang asked in surprise when he heard Long Yunyun was leaving.

Now that the biggest threat on Yunlong Mountain had been eliminated, Old Wang did not understand what Long Yunyun was thinking.

"Just follow me, at least I can ensure you won’t be lacking food or clothing." Long Yunyun didn’t want to explain too much, simply stated.

"Okay." Old Wang didn’t even think about it and started packing up immediately with the children.

"Let’s go." Mu Can looked at Long Yunyun and said, Long Yunyun’s decision wasn’t surprising to him at all. Five children who had successfully undergone Enlightenment, even including a genius who experienced Enlightenment Illusion, Long Yunyun would definitely choose to bring them back to the Long Family.

Mounting on the Land Beasts brought by Old Han, these half-demon beasts had low Spiritual Wisdom, but extraordinary strength, much stronger than war horses when tamed and used by Cultivators as mounts.

Yunlong Mountain was a moderately-sized mountain, and within half an incense stick of time, the two of them arrived at Old Han’s Mountain Village.

The village was much more spectacular than Long Yunyun’s Mountain Village, with the armory and the granary neatly arranged inside the village.

At the moment, it was brightly lit, perhaps Old Han thought that the trip wouldn’t take long and he would be back soon.

Unfortunately, encountering Mu Can not only prevented him from coming back earlier but also cost him his life.

Mu Can casually killed the Mountain Village guards, leaving only one alive, whom he grabbed by the neck.

"Where are the women you have hidden? Where is the Treasure Room?" Mu Can coldly questioned the surviving guard.

"The women are beneath the hallway in a tunnel on the left side of the house. The Treasure Room is inside the hall," the guard, who had never seen someone casually punch a Great Martial Master and send them flying meters away, was so frightened by Mu Can’s grip that he almost wet his pants.

Killing the guard as easily as crushing a chick, Mu Can felt not even a ripple in his heart.

These people all deserved to die.

Carrying Long Yunyun, Mu Can hurriedly walked to the left of the hall, found the tunnel smoothly and soon encountered the women imprisoned by Boss Han.

The women, almost all in their twenties, wore beautiful clothes appearing as if they were specially looted by the mountain bandits, aside from their deeply distressed and weary expressions.

Upon seeing Mu Can enter, the women recoiled in fear, gazing at him terrified.

"I am here to rescue you," Mu Can said to the young women.

However, the imprisoned women completely ignored him, as if they hadn’t heard Mu Can’s words at all.

"I am here to rescue you," Mu Can repeated, furrowing his brows.

It seemed as though the women before him were slightly out of their senses.

Long Yunyun quickly pulled Mu Can back, positioning him behind her, signaling for him to let her handle it.

"We are here to rescue you, Boss Han is already dead, you are free now," Long Yunyun repeated Mu Can’s words.

Hearing Long Yunyun speak, a glimmer of spirit slowly appeared in the women’s eyes.

"Boss Han is dead? Boss Han is dead?" a woman asked fixedly staring at Long Yunyun.

"Yes, Boss Han is dead, you are free now," Long Yunyun nodded vigorously.

"Haha, Boss Han is finally dead," the woman shouted loudly, as if deranged.

The crazed woman’s demeanor influenced everyone’s emotions, and a series of sharp screams erupted.

Mu Can frowned slightly, took out a piece of blue medicinal herb, and a flame appeared at his fingertips, beginning to heat it.

A breeze formed around Mu Can, blowing the special aroma from the heated medicinal herb towards the women.

The women gradually calmed down.

Soul Stabilizing Herb, known for its ability to stabilize the spirit and restore calm.

Having regained their senses, and understanding their situation, the women began to sob softly.

Mu Can, observing the crying women with a headache, glanced at Long Yunyun and gestured for her to come forward and handle the situation.

Long Yunyun opened the prison gate, walked in slowly, and began to soothe them.
