"Thank you, Third Young Master, for your support! This great favor will be remembered by Fang Tianrui, and there will be future rewards."
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"Spare the idle talk, act swiftly."
"Alright."
Fang Tianrui nodded:
"Then let the citizens behind you leave with my men first. I’ve set up a settlement area, guarded by my subordinates; ordinary martial artists can’t break in, and extraordinary ones wouldn’t dare easily break in."
Chu Qing didn’t hesitate, turned and instructed everyone to follow Fang Tianrui’s men to leave.
The citizens understood that, in reality, they had no choice, and the Righteous Alliance seemed imposing, following them appeared safe.
They immediately followed the disciples of the Righteous Alliance, heading towards the opposite side.
But just as the old man carrying a child passed by Chu Qing, he suddenly knelt down with a thud, bowing his head to Chu Qing:
"Thank you, Hero, for saving my life!!"
Opening up the gesture, other citizens quickly followed suit, and soon, the ground was filled with kneeling.
Chu Qing intended to help the old man up, but upon a second glance, realized he couldn’t possibly help them all.
Everyone knelt down, uttering gratitude for the hero, their faces full of thankfulness, but Chu Qing’s eyes didn’t carry any pride.
He didn’t feel himself being a hero.
Though he killed Jiang Divine Saber, Luo Cheng, and Qi Guan, his conscience was clear.
Yet, these people were cruel and malicious, treating citizens like pigs and ants, all deserved their fate as a bunch of villains.
But if they were still alive, tonight’s chaos in Divine Blade City wouldn’t have happened, at least not immediately.
However, Chu Qing also understood that this was somewhat of a stubborn thought.
The Divine Blade Hall was plagued with problems, not something that happened overnight.
Even if Jiang Divine Saber abandoned the Chaotic God Saber, the Divine Blade Hall’s decline was inevitable, only a matter of time.
When that time comes, tonight’s scene would still unfold.
He took a deep breath, looked at Fang Tianrui:
"We can move now."
"Alright."
Fang Tianrui agreed; the battle was still ongoing.
The last screams and sounds of slaughter lasted throughout the night, Chu Qing assisted Fang Tianrui in rescuing citizens and slaying those marauders who slaughtered ordinary people.
