Song Junwan offered a very reasonable suggestion to Xu Ming, and he knew it too. If he had to be honest, he was willing to trade anything, even his freedom, for a chance to get revenge.
He had spent most of his life without freedom, so he had even gotten used to it. Because of this, he was ready to sacrifice anything to get revenge.
Her offer was the last thing he expected. As someone who had practically spent his whole life in a slave organization, how could he not know how slaves spent their lives?
He was a slave himself, but he was a valuable slave, so his treatment was still better. But what about those who didn't have much value?
Thinking of all those poor lives, Xu Ming knew Song Junwan was just giving him a chance to achieve something greater. She gave him a chance to repent.
Xu Ming had committed countless atrocities because he was ordered to, and even if he wasn't at fault, it was his hands that had done everything.
He had felt guilty all these years, and if it wasn't for his revenge, he might have tried to kill himself.
However, now he had a chance to make up for everything he had done till now. He could protect those beneath him and repent for the things he had done.
As the understanding shone in his eyes, he felt very grateful for the people who had saved not only him but all the slaves. As a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, he could easily spread his Spirit Sense to a large distance, and through it, he knew all the slaves were somewhere else.
Just as he was about to agree, he noticed something from the corner of his vision, and his face fell. Right then, he also felt coldness freezing up even his bones.
Startled, he turned around and met two eyes containing unfathomable darkness, and he found himself lost in them.
But he was soon taken out of his daze when those eyes closed. Still, he wondered what kind of man he was interacting with.
On the other hand, Shen Yu had to close his eyes to calm himself down. Otherwise, he might have really just razed the whole slave organization to the ground right then.

"Don't worry, Master! She will handle him."
Song Junwan spoke from the side, her voice losing its playfulness. Only pure coldness resided in her eyes as she held Shen Yu's hand.
Shen Yu nodded and clicked his fingers, giving his permission to Xiao Lan. Not only that, but he also gave her a boost.
He then turned towards Xu Ming and said, "What is your decision?"
"Senior, do you truly think I can decline it after what I just saw?"
Xu Ming chuckled; however, there was no amusement in it.
"Good! Then go and deal with the heads of the slave organization. Don't let them disturb her."
Shen Yu spoke, looking at the battle raging on at the entrance gate. With such a large commotion and the disappearance of Xu Ming, Shen Yu knew the higher-ups would make their move.
And he wanted no distraction in Xiao Lan's battle.
The three Nascent Soul Realm bowed before him and flew up. They had already sensed the location of others, as it wasn't hard, so they directly went there.
They had seen the anger on Shen Yu's face, which terrified them greatly, especially the former elders of the Assassin Organization. They had caught a glimpse of his power, so they didn't want him to be angry.
Then, he witnessed one of the most beautiful scenes of his two lives as the beautiful, elegant, and graceful phoenix descended upon the mortal world.
The sight was so beautiful he forgot to breathe for a second, and only after Xiao Lan began to fall did he move from the skies. The beautiful phoenix faded away; however, Shen Yu could still see the resemblance of the phoenix in his wife.
Taking a step forward, he disappeared and teleported near her. With swift movements, he swooped her in his arms and healed her injuries.
Holding her in his arms, Shen Yu sighed and said, "I really have the craziest women as my wives."
Not a single one of them was sane or simple. Not that he was complaining, but he just felt pity that none of them had lived a normal life.
He caressed Xiao Lan's face and smiled.
"I wonder what happened to you!"
Divine Phoenixes were known for their vitality and nigh immortality, so killing them was very difficult. And this was just a weaker phoenix.
Xiao Lan belonged to the strongest, so Shen Yu wondered what event could have caused her downfall.
Somehow, he knew it wasn't anything good.
'Of course, it isn't anything good. She died!'
Shaking his head, he stepped backward, finding himself in a cozy white room. There, he placed Xiao Lan on the bed gently and kissed her forehead.
"Rest well! Others will do the rest!"
Saying that, he left the pocket dimension and teleported to Song Junwan. And when he got there, a stunning scene awaited him.
Sitting on a charred wooden throne, Song Junwan was playing with her opponents. All around her, the area was flattened, and the ground shattered in many places.
If looked at from high above, it was a large crater formed because of their battle. There was not a single thing left unscathed around her.
Her curved blades danced around the battlefield, stopping her opponents from leaving.
However, she also didn't kill them. Her blades did nothing but cut their skin lightly, sending small bolts of lightning into their bodies.
Many of her opponents were Core Formation Realm Cultivators, but before her, they were reduced to mere playthings.
This was the power of a True Nascent Soul Realm expert.
No matter how many battle techniques they threw at her, they failed. Even when they tried to get closer, the blades would stop them.
There was nothing they could do aside from defending against the blades that seemed to come out of nowhere and strike at them.
When Song Junwan noticed Shen Yu, she smiled and stood up. Coming close to him, she asked, "Is she okay?"
Shen Yu nodded. "Yes, but she is still injured from her last attack. So, I sent her to my pocket dimension."
Song Junwan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! I'm also done here, so we can go and take a look at others."
With that, she clicked her fingers, and an enormous purple-colored lightning bolt descended on the battlefield, covering a vast area.
