Chapter 244
Inside the farm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chang Li and the others stared at the suddenly airborne flare gun, completely baffled, unsure of what had just happened.
Until Yun Xiaoxiao emerged from the shadows.
Observing the completely transformed aura of Yun Xiaoxiao, Chang Li's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
What was going on?
Why did this kid give him such a different feeling now?
Moreover, why was the signal's launch point so consistent with the direction she had just emerged from?
As he was pondering this, Yun Xiaoxiao gave a slight smile towards the position behind them, as if she had seen something.
Puzzled, he turned his head, only to have his pupils suddenly widen.
Ci Wan?!
How could she be here!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in.
A vine lashed out at him with incredible force.
Feeling the danger, he hastily dodged.
Yet, his arm was still pierced.
Clutching his arm, he looked up darkly, meeting a pair of radiant eyes.
His breath caught, and his gaze on Yun Xiaoxiao was almost feral.
"You're working with Ci Wan?!"
His voice, when he asked this, was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"You just figured that out?" Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged, a bit helplessly said, "Seems a bit late, doesn't it?"
"So everything you did before was just to sow discord between me and my subordinates?! All that talk about them betraying me was just a lie?!"
"What do you think?" Yun Xiaoxiao retorted.
Seeing Chang Li's eyes blazing with fury, she smiled again.
"Don't get mad, don't get mad. How can Ci Wan and the others get their revenge if you're already dead?"
Yun Xiaoxiao's words only made Chang Li even more furious.
He conjured a whirlwind with his bare hands and launched it fiercely towards Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao, however, raised an eyebrow and suddenly vanished from her spot.
When she reappeared, she was already behind him.
She kicked him with a swift motion.
"Go over there, grandma has no interest in fighting you."
Chang Li hadn't expected Yun Xiaoxiao to suddenly appear behind him, so he had no time to defend himself.
Plus, Yun Xiaoxiao possessed a strength-based ability.
Indeed, not long after, Chang Li was severely injured and knocked to the ground.
Ci Wan killed him decisively, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.
After Chang Li breathed his last, the gloom in Ci Wan's eyes dissipated significantly.
There was a sense of relief after avenging a great wrong.
After exchanging glances, they quickly walked towards the main gate.
Outside the gate, they together knocked down the wooden stakes.
Ci Wan walked to the side of one of the corpses and knelt down on both knees.
In the darkness, she silently shed tears.
No one went to comfort her, because everyone knew she needed time to process.
As everyone waited, a dense crowd emerged from the farm.
By the moonlight, one could still vaguely see the general appearance of the crowd.
Worn, revealing clothes, emaciated bodies.
Many hugged their arms and shivered.
They approached Yun Xiaoxiao and the others and bowed together.
Many couldn't hold back their tears.
"Thank you, thank you for killing Chang Li and his gang, saving us from the fire and water."
"Sob... we can finally live like humans."
Sun Xiaoming frowned, "How did you all end up like this?"
Many of them were familiar to him.
These were people that Ci Wan's family had helped.
"Ah, ever since that scoundrel Chang Li rose to power, he didn't treat us as humans."
An middle-aged woman sighed, her tone heavy.
"He forced us to work day and night, and if we took even a little break, we would be beaten.
Many didn't survive their brutal hands, dying from the beatings.
Of course, there were also those who froze to death, starved to death, or died from exhaustion.
Chang Li and his gang were simply inhuman!
They even forcibly took many young girls..."
As the woman spoke, she couldn't continue and sobbed softly.
Although she didn't say much, from the snippets, everyone understood what had happened.
Apart from sighing, there was nothing more they could do.
The world was just so cruel.
However, now that the wicked Chang Li and his gang were dead, it also avenged those innocents who had suffered and died.
"You... are you leaving?"
One person cautiously looked at Sun Xiaoming and Wei Qian and several others.
