Chapter 408 Earth Element
Xue Fang also felt the same, so she moved the drone away, but despite this, the image was burned in his head, 'It seems some people really don't deserve to be saved.'
In the past, he had ideals to forgive someone and let them learn from their mistakes, but now he realizes how naive it was.
If the victim was himself, he might be able to forgive it, but if it was others?
There is no way MingHao could forgive them.
"I don't get it, though; why is your family gathered here again? Aren't they scattered in their own sects?
I mean, I get if someone wants to check the real situation, but there are quite a number gathered here."
"Those trash probably baited them! That is how they have done it since they were kids."
"Calm down first, MingHao. They will get their due punishment soon. And for your other cousins, well, they are cultivators.
I am sure they can find a way to move forward; otherwise, they better just live peacefully somewhere else since they are not suitable to be one," Xue Fang commented.
She had seen what happened, but in her mind, cultivation was never an easy path. It's filled with so much cruelty and violence.
What she saw didn't even faze her since she had seen far worse. Although she was never on the victim's side, she had gone out multiple times to rescue her clan people from their clutches.
MingHao then looked around the area. He wanted to look for a way out without warning the others. Trying to dig up was possible, but since on top of them was debris from half-collapsed buildings, a wrong move could trigger another collapse.
"How about if we make a tunnel from here toward the city hall?" MingHao suggested.
Despite the drone already checking everything, including the basement of the city hall, they still failed to see the sect leader.
If anything, the building was now more correctly called a pleasure house. They only found Sky Ember sect's inner disciples doing the same depravity as MingHao's cousins, only this time the victims were the rich civilians, like merchant daughters around the area.
Many of the faces were familiar to him. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to tear them to shreds. He noted to himself, 'Some people just don't deserve to live.'
"So we dig to the city hall. Since they already have a basement area, this should be no problem. But how do you plan to dig it?" Xue Fang asked.
MingHao responded by gathering qi in front of his hand. "With this, of course. I can not just shoot it but also gather it in front of my hand. Now, if I just do this…" MingHao's eyes glinted as the qi started acting weirdly, and then, like a magnet, it began pulling some of the nearby debris.
"So you are an earth element… I never knew that," Yan Yu said with a deep sigh.
He never showed his element when sparring against her or the others. This meant he was always just playing around with them.
This made her shoulders slump, as she could not help but think that even if she tried to act like Xueqi's ancestor wanted, she would just be a burden to him.
"Manipulating the earth to make the tunnel. That should work. But do you have enough qi?" Xue Fang asked.
"Don't worry, I have enough to make a tunnel that far. Afterward, I will just take some pills and rest."
Xue Fang squinted her eyes, "Don't use that weird energy you got from your sister. Save it for emergencies."
"Don't worry, I know that."
"That's good. Just remember, MingHao, I am not stupid. If I detect you doing that, then we will have trouble here."
MingHao's lips twitched. He did plan to infuse it a bit to speed up the progress, as he didn't want to let the victims suffer for long. But for Xue Fang, this didn't matter.
What was important to her was MingHao's safety; as for the rest, they could all die tortured, and she wouldn't even care.
MingHao then started doing his work. He began using his qi to manipulate the earth, slowly creating a tunnel while pressing the rest into the outer area.
Yan Yu was amazed at seeing this. "If you can do this, why not just make one directly outside?"
"It's not that simple. We may not be squashed down as I quickly path the area, but the building on top of us can still collapse further. Well, it was burned before, which doesn't help either.
Basically, it's too fragile, and I don't want to take the risk of pulling attention from the others."
"I see. I still don't get it, but since you say so," Yan Yu said with a chuckle, while Xue Fang just looked at her and shook her head.
Her eyes looked at Yan Yu's chest, and then she thought, 'It seems the saying is right; those with big chests usually lack brains.'
Xue Fang was amazed by how Yan Yu's brain worked. She understood how to use drones, computers, and phones, but when asked to do some math calculations, even simple ones, she would just fail miserably.
It was the same for other studies that she didn't have a shred of interest in. If it was just laziness, Xue Fang would still understand.
But she still remembered how Yan Yu spent two days learning basic calculations despite being a cultivator and having her teach them.
Meanwhile, MingHao focused on his task. He needed to make sure there were no changes detected outside, so he made it only enough for them to pass through. Experience tales with empire
Halfway through, sweat started coming out from his forehead, and his breath began to run heavy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Maybe we should rest first," Xue Fang said.
But MingHao shook his head. "Don't worry, I can still go on. We're already halfway there."
"You still need to maintain your stamina, MingHao. Otherwise, how will you punish those bastards?"
