"Are you crazy?

"This is the best chance for you to get out of the quagmire.

"Stop being so stupid thinking that justice will be served.

"If there was justice in the first place, you wouldn't be stuck in this pathetic cell.

"Think about your daughters!"

Lee He Song gave Liu Ju Zheng a lashing of his tongue.

He wasn't able to argue with Liu Ju Zheng and win the arguments previously.

But this time, Liu Ju Zheng couldn't muster any rebuttals.

Liu Ju Zheng knew deep down that Lee He Song was right.

His principle of standing against corruption and supporting justice got him nowhere except into the gallows.

The power he had alone wasn't even enough to protect himself in the Da Qian Dynasty.

"Where can I go? There's no place I can call home..."

Seeing that Liu Ju Zheng had relented and changed his mind, Lee He Song thought of a place where it could harbor Liu Ju Zheng.

The residence he had before moving into the Lin Mansion was perfect.

"I have a place for you. We don't have much time to waste." Lee He Song pulled Liu Ju Zheng outside of his cell and said.

Either the officials or the rebels would get control of the city soon, and it was best for them to leave this place.

They wasted no time and ran as fast as they could out of the prison.

When they got out, there were rebels that were in the streets trying to rob and plunder.

"Give me what you got!" A rebel came forward to Lee He Song, pointing his weapon at him.

Lee He Song didn't hesitate and swiped his sword across the neck of the rebel.

Plop.

The head of the rebel was cut off with a clean cut, and it rolled on the ground, stopping in front of Liu Ju Zheng's feet.

The eyes of the rebel were opened wide in surprise, but Lee He Song's sword was so fast that the head was severed off before it could blink.

Liu Ju Zheng took a step back at the ghastly sight.

The other rebels who had wanted to rob Lee He Song and Liu Ju Zheng stopped in their tracks.

They turned around and searched for a new victim instead.

"Come, let's go." Lee He Song's voice took Liu Ju Zheng out of his shock, and he quickly followed closely behind Lee He Song.

While he ran, Liu Ju Zheng could feel the breeze coming at him, giving him a sense of freedom.

Finally, he was out of that godforsaken place.

But it wasn't exactly heaven outside of it right now.

Chaos was all around him.

Commoners fought with the rebels trying to protect their properties.

There were dead bodies and injured folks everywhere.

Smoke from fires set by the rebels, the stench of blood from the dead bodies and wounded filled the air.

...

Lee Yi Hong fanned himself with his folding fan when he stood outside the residence of Lee Zhen Ren.

Cries and chatter of panic could be heard from within the walls.

He turned his head around and glanced back at the city gates.

When he saw that Lee Zhen Ren and Zhan Lao weren't fighting in the air anymore, he knew that it was the cue for his performance.

Other than the robbers who had sincerely wanted a better future for their families, Lee Yi Hong despised the rest like Eunuch Xin and Zhan Lao.

Both were making use of the rebellion led by the Dark Lord to gain more power.

He was with the robbers instead.

Ready to lay down his life for the bright future promised by the Dark Lord.

Thud.

After keeping his folding fan, Lee Yi Hong took out a pill from his sleeve pocket.

It looked similar to the pills that the robbers took.

The dark tentacles glowed and tried to extend out into the surroundings from the pill.

Lee Yi Hong opened his mouth and popped it inside.

After that he walked towards the gates of Lee Zhen Ren's residence.

"Stop there!" The guards who were half drunk moments ago pointed their swords at Lee Yi Hong.

They gripped the handles of their swords tightly and glanced at each other.

Sweat formed on their foreheads while they waited.

The disciples of Lee Zhen Ren had left the residence, and there weren't many cultivators left inside.

The result was obviously disastrous for them if Lee Yi Hong was someone powerful.

Lee Yi Hong just gave them a cold stare, and he lunged at them with his palm.

Splatter.

He was too fast for the guards, and his palm smashed into the faces of the two guards in front of him.

Their faces were turned into a mangled mass of flesh and skin immediately.

Two more guards came from the side trying to stab him with their swords.

White glow appeared on the tips of their swords, but it was not enough to penetrate the body of Lee Yi Hong.

The blades of their swords bent, and Lee Yi Hong gave out a roar.

Qi emitted from his body and forced the two guards to fall onto the ground.

Lee Yi Hong grabbed onto their clothes with his hands and flung them forward where more guards were coming at him.

Thud.

The bodies of the two guards landed on the group of guards rushing in.

All of them fell to the ground and Lee Yi Hong went on a rampage.

Using his palm, he smashed and squashed the heads of the guards.

And when necessary, he stomped his feet through their bodies.

Blood spurted everywhere, and it was like a scene from hell.

Lee Yi Hong stood and flicked his hands.

The blood on them splashed onto the ground, and he continued on his way into the residence.

"Someone, help!"

"Spare me and I'll give you all the money I've got."

"You shall regret this, run while you can."

Some of the guests begged while some believed that they would be saved by imperial officials or the cultivators.

Lee Yi Hong stared at them in their fancy silk clothes and plump bodies.

He would kill all of them if he could, but he was looking for someone.

Someone in particular.
