chapter 30

Exploding some fireworks?

Well, the more accurate term was that he wanted to blast a few humans apart.

Ji Yan’s high spirits instantly plummeted to the ground after he spoiled the fun for her by telling her the horrifying truth behind the beautiful falling shards.

Yin Xuezhuo loved seeing how the joyous expression on her face faded away and was replaced by an angry and disappointed look. Ji Yan was angry, but she didn’t dare to talk back; she merely frowned and stayed silent. He laughed happily in her ear, like a crazy mental patient.

He was undoubtedly insane.

If she had transmigrated into the book to an earlier date, such as the time period before he had blackened, then she would beg Yin Miaorou not to hurt his young and delicate heart.

But after blackening, Yin Xuezhuo was just too fearsome and terrifying.

Ji Yan watched as more and more cultivators entered the scene with Devil Suppressing Towers. But no matter how bright the Devil Suppressing Towers were shining; they paid no attention to it. After all, their priority was to rescue the half-dead spiritual vein.

The enchantment was broken.

Although it had not completely disappeared, the enchantment won’t last long.

Once the enchantment completely disappears, a large number of demons will invade Linshuang City. The next demonic wave will cause a massacre. No one dared to imagine what would happen once the enchantment completely breaks down.

Even though they originally did not believe that Yin Xuezhuo had infiltrated Linshuang City, they were now forced to believe it since there was no other explanation for the destroyed spiritual vein.

Yin Xuezhuo stood on a high area as he watched them with amusement as they scurry around. They didn’t dare to approach the spiritual vein in fear that they might do more harm than damage, but they still wanted to mend the spiritual vein. The disciples swarmed around the spiritual vein chaotically. Soon, some of the disciples were injured by the falling shards from the broken enchantment. One by one, blood-curdling screams filled the eerie night. It was just as Yin Xuezhuo had described; the disciples that were hit by the falling shards exploded like fireworks.

However, Yin Xuezhuo soon got bored of watching those people. He had been watching them for many years, so seeing them scurry around in panic was nothing new. On the contrary, he was much more interested in the little lass in his arms.

“Isn’t it such a waste for you not to look at this beautiful scene?”

He lifted Ji Yan’s chin slightly and asked her to raise her head, but Ji Yan didn’t comply. He finally managed to lift her head forcefully with difficulty, when he noticed that her eyes were tightly shut.

Did it matter whether she looked at the scenery or not?

There was a metallic scent in the air due to the blood. Ji Yan could already picture the bloody scenery in front of her even if she didn’t open her eyes to look at it.

Ji Yan felt nauseous just thinking about it. Yin Xuezhuo continued to pinch her face with force until finally, she could no longer bear the pain and opened her eyes.

…She saw hell.

Everyone was screaming and struggling with pain. The disciples that were not injured dragged the injured disciples to safety. However, there was no way for them to completely escape the chaotic mess. The disciples who had first arrived at the scene were all lying injured on the ground. Those who arrived later didn’t dare to step forward.

Ji Yan stared at the scene blankly. She could hear her voice trembling as she asked, “Why are you doing this?”

Why must he use the cruelest methods to kill people? Why must he do something so meaningless like this? Did he enjoy doing this?

Yin Xuezhuo snorted coldly, “This is merely the beginning. Do you honestly believe that people are truthful and kind? Don’t be so naive. Humans are selfish and cruel. This is far from enough to be called revenge.”

His gloomy voice pierced through Ji Yan’s eardrums, but Ji Yan didn’t hear a word he said. Her focus was glued on a thirteen-year-old boy, The young boy’s leg was badly mangled from the exploding shards. He was using the last of his strength to climb towards where Ji Yan was currently standing.

He was such a young child…Ji Yan was disturbed by what she was seeing.

He couldn’t see Ji Yan, but Ji Yan was able to clearly see him. Ji Yan suddenly broke free from Yin Xuezhuo’s grasp, hiked up her skirt, and ran over to the young boy. She squatted next to him and reached out to help him, “Are you alright?”

The young boy was shaking uncontrollably. Ji Yan froze for a moment when she saw his ghostly pale face and the beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

She gritted her teeth and ignored her fear. Ji Yan tore off the corners of her clothes and bandaged the young body, hoping that the bandage would help stop the bleeding.

The shards were still falling from the sky.

While Ji Yan was bandaging the young boy, the young body suddenly grabbed her hand. His grip on her hand was strong. Although he was injured, he was still a cultivator. Ji Yan was not his opponent at all. She looked up at the body in confusion when the boy suddenly pushed her in front of him.

Just as she was pushed in front of the young boy, a heat wave suddenly blasted towards them from the rear side.

The air was scorching hot and it was difficult to breath.

Just as the shards were about to touch Ji Yan, a cool but sharp blast of wind directly hit against the shards, knocking the shards away.

The shards were knocked onto the ground and exploded, burning the surrounding soil until it was charred black.

Goosebumps rose on Ji Yan’s arms.

“Do you finally understand what I’m saying? You tried to help him, but he tried to use you as a shield instead. What’s the point in helping him?”
