Chapter 48

Upstairs lived Wang Yanfeng and his wife Qiu Jing. After living together for so long, Tang San naturally wouldn't be concerned about their normal activities, but just now, he seemed to sense that there were more than just two people upstairs.

He immediately became alert, glanced at Wang Zhong, who was meditating on the adjacent bed without any awareness, and got up again to open the window.

With his Lingxin Eye fully activated, the world before him instantly turned colorful. Tang San immediately felt that the wind elements in the air were much more concentrated than usual, clearly indicating that someone was heavily manipulating the wind elements. From the agitation of the wind elements, it was evident that this was not for cultivation but for battle.

Without a moment's hesitation, Tang San immediately leaped out of the window and climbed up the outer wall.

In just a few moments, he had already reached the window of the second floor.

The window was open, and inside the room, three people were silently facing each other.

Wang Yanfeng had already activated his Wind Wolf Transformation, and Qiu Jing beside him had done the same. What surprised Tang San was that the usually gentle and caring mother-in-law, who always took care of them, was now emitting an aura of the fourth rank. Her Wind Wolf Transformation was clearly less pronounced than Wang Yanfeng's, and she stood slightly behind him.

Standing in front of the couple was a masked man.

This man was tall, dressed in black, and wore a mask that looked somewhat peculiar, with patterns resembling a tiger but in blue.

"Brother Wang, there's no need to be nervous," the tiger-masked man said, placing his hands in a gesture that seemed to be calming. However, his aura subtly revealed that although he hadn't used the Demon God Transformation, his cultivation was clearly above that of Wang Yanfeng and his wife, at least a fifth-rank powerhouse.

A fifth-rank human powerhouse?

Tang San held his breath, trying to收敛 his aura as much as possible. Without using the imprint within his body, his hiding ability was still very strong.

"Who are you?" Wang Yanfeng asked cautiously.

The tiger-masked man chuckled, "To save humanity, to rise for humanity."

Wang Yanfeng's pupils visibly contracted, almost blurting out, "Redemption?"

Outside the window, although Tang San had already guessed, he still felt a shock when the word came from Wang Yanfeng's mouth.

Has Redemption come?

When Wang Yanfeng first started teaching them, Tang San had also wondered if there was a connection between Wang Yanfeng and Redemption. After all, there shouldn't be many humans who could reach the fourth rank or higher. But from the current situation, it seemed that he knew about Redemption but had not joined it.

Hearing the word "Redemption," the tiger-masked man nodded slightly, "Yes, it's us. It was Gui Gui who told me your address."

Hearing "Gui Gui," Wang Yanfeng was clearly taken aback, but his tense body did not relax; instead, he became even more alert.

The tiger-masked man spoke succinctly, "She is one of us. I think you should have guessed that it's not easy to establish a foothold in Jialili City without our help."

Hearing this, Wang Yanfeng took a deep breath, and the claws on his palms slowly retracted.

"What do you want from me?" Wang Yanfeng asked in a low voice. Qiu Jing beside him also looked puzzled.

The tiger-masked man also lowered his voice, "We humans struggle to survive on the Spirit Continent. The vast majority of our people can't even open their intelligence and are enslaved by them. What do you think about this, Brother Wang?"

Wang Yanfeng smiled bitterly, "What can I think? The demon and spirit races are so powerful; can we overthrow them?"

The tiger-masked man paused, "Do you know how the Redemption organization was initially formed?"

Wang Yanfeng was taken aback, not understanding why the topic had suddenly changed. He shook his head in confusion.

The tiger-masked man's voice became even lower, "Because those of us who can use the Demon God Transformation have no mothers. The desire for revenge brought us together. At that time, Redemption's wish was that one day, our children could have mothers."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanfeng and Qiu Jing, as well as Tang San outside the window, were almost instantly moved. Qiu Jing's eyes instantly reddened.

Yes, those who could use the Demon God Transformation and become vassals of the demon and spirit races almost never had mothers. Only if both parents were human vassals could their children have a mother. But the first generation of humans with the Demon God Transformation had no such opportunity.

Their mothers were all raped by the demon and spirit races, and they were cruelly killed when their children awakened the Demon God Transformation.

The tiger-masked man continued, "I was lost during the time I just awakened. After opening my intelligence, I even thought that if my mother didn't have to die and could stay with her, I would rather not have this power and not open my intelligence. Even if I lived a muddled life, at least I could be with her. But this thought only made my heart more filled with pain and overwhelming hatred. Her image in my mind has long become blurred, and I can no longer remember her face. I can't even find her remains."

"Every member of Redemption is a seeker of revenge. Yes, you're right. The demon and spirit races are so powerful; what can we do with our meager strength? Can we overthrow their rule? It seems completely unrealistic now. But if we can't overthrow them, should we not resist? Should we let them slaughter our relatives and fellow humans?"

"Do you know that in some large demon clans, some of our women who secretly open their intelligence actively offer themselves to the demons, seducing them, to give birth to children with the Demon God Transformation? Even though they know that once their children awaken the Demon God Transformation, they will die, they still do it without hesitation. One such mother once told us that after her death, take her child and join Redemption, not for revenge, but to give our humans a bit more hope."

Wang Yanfeng listened silently to his story, deactivating his Wind Wolf Transformation. His face was calm as he said, "Why are you telling me this? I've seen worse than what you described."

"Then what?" the tiger-masked man asked, "What happens after you see it too much? Do you become numb?"

Wang Yanfeng said indifferently, "What else?"

The tiger-masked man said solemnly, "Join us. Help us redeem more people."

"Redeem more people?" Wang Yanfeng laughed bitterly, "You know the situation with the Demon God Transformation. How far can we cultivate it? The bloodline strength of the Demon God Transformation will weaken as it is passed down among humans. What can you do besides assassinations?"

The tiger-masked man said solemnly, "When I first joined Redemption, I thought the same. At that time, I only wanted revenge. I thought that was enough for me. But later, I realized that Redemption is more than that. We are creating our own world, and I can't tell you more about it. But I can tell you that Redemption's goal has never been assassination or to be an assassin organization. It is to help humans live better. Yes, our current abilities are limited, and we can only help a few people. But we believe that as long as we work hard, we will see the light of hope."

Wang Yanfeng's body trembled slightly. The words "creating our own world" truly touched him.

"Do you know the consequences if joining Redemption is discovered?" Wang Yanfeng asked, frowning.
