1829 Retribution will come sooner or later (1)
After waiting for four days, under the desperate gazes of the survivors, a ray of light finally penetrated the rocks and shone into the cave.
Looking at the light that had not been seen for a long time, the survivors did not cheer. Instead, they slowly stood up and walked to the cave.
“Huala”
A rock rolled down, revealing a hole.
Then, someone poked his head out of the hole and looked at the cave with a cautious and careful expression.
Perhaps it was the lighting, but after looking for a long time, the man finally found the survivors standing in front of him.
He seemed to be stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes with his hands and then revealed a shocked expression.
“I don’t see any sea monsters, but there are still many people alive!”
Hearing the shouts from outside, the survivors laughed softly, but their eyes were cold.
It didn’t take long for the head-sized hole to be broken open, allowing people to enter and exit normally.
A figure came in and waved the lighting tool in his hand. The light fell on the survivors ‘faces without restraint.
“You guys are quite tough, not all of you died!”
When this person spoke, his tone was a little strange, and he seemed a little unwilling.
“Since you’re not dead, hurry up and come out with me. It’s really troublesome, Yingluo.”
The man mumbled and turned to leave.
“Stop! Did I say you could leave?”
A voice suddenly rang out, causing that person to be stunned for a moment before slowly turning his head around.
“Who, who said that? stand out!”
His tone was a bit sharp, and his eyes swept over the survivors with an aggressive posture.
No one answered him, only a heavy punch landed on his face, sending him flying.
The man screamed and covered his swollen mouth, looking at the crowd in disbelief.
“You guys actually hit me, are you tired of living?”
Before he could finish his sentence, another round of punches and kicks landed on his body.
The man screamed in pain and crawled out of the hole, not daring to say another word.
Sir Tang Zhen, please help us. No matter what you do, we will support you.
During the few days of waiting, everyone had already discussed and decided that they would demand an explanation for themselves after they left.
As mentioned earlier, they would never forget the people who had saved them.
However, they would definitely not let off those who wanted to harm them. They had to get an explanation.
If it was just one person, it might not be of much use, but if everyone was united, no one would dare to ignore them.
Faced with everyone’s request, Tang Zhen only symbolically declined. After which, he nodded his head and agreed.
He naturally didn’t have the resentment of the survivors. He could leave whenever he wanted, but he had to put on a show to avoid leaving any flaws.
However, the actions of the cultivators in this town were indeed disdainful, and they should be taught a lesson.
At this moment, the entrance of the cave had already been opened. Tang Zhen did not hesitate and led his men out of the cave.
When they walked into the cave, the survivors were surprised to find that the people who excavated the mountain were ordinary people.
After seeing this scene, the anger in everyone’s heart burned even more.
How could an ordinary person’s strength be compared to a cultivator’s? no wonder it took a full four days to open the passage. This was obviously done perfunctorily.
“Don’t be impatient, we’ll talk after we get out.”
Tang Zhen warned everyone. He passed through the cave that was not too long and arrived at the valley outside.
The surrounding crowd was full of onlookers. A group of cultivators stood not far away from them. They were sizing up Tang Zhen and the others with complicated eyes.
Tang Zhen observed for a moment and found that there were three king level cultivators inside. They were clearly used to guard the entrance of the cave to prevent the sea monster from appearing again.
If there were signs of a sea monster in the process of opening the mouth, the rescue work would probably stop immediately.
At that time, the three king level cultivators would act at the same time and seal the hole again, never to open it again.
When the nearby onlookers saw Tang Zhen and the others, they immediately started discussing among themselves. The meaning of their words was that Tang Zhen and the others were lucky and did not die at the hands of the sea monsters.
However, more people were complaining that they shouldn’t have opened the cave. If the sea monster came out, they would inevitably suffer losses.
The person who was beaten up earlier was standing next to a cultivator. He was staring at Tang Zhen and the others with a sinister look in his eyes. He was even mumbling something to the black-clothed cultivator next to him.
The black-robed cultivator revealed a displeased expression as he coldly glanced at Tang Zhen and the others before slowly walking forward.
“In order to save you, we had to open the cave entrance at the risk of the sea monster rushing out of the cave and destroying the town.
But you guys don’t know what’s good for you and even beat up our people. Don’t you want to give me an explanation?”
When the survivors heard this, their faces immediately showed anger and they were about to describe the words and actions of the person who was beaten.
They were the victims and had done nothing wrong. Why did they have to be treated like this?
Tang Zhen waved his hand, signaling for everyone to keep quiet. He then looked at the cultivator.
“I’d like to ask you something. You said that you would save us, but why are you only taking action now?
Since you’ve already taken action, why did you use a group of ordinary people to clear the mountain rocks while you cultivators just watched from the side?
You’re afraid that the town will be attacked by sea monsters, so you sacrificed us. Who gave you the right to do so?”
Tang Zhen asked in a stern voice. His eyes stared at the cultivator opposite him with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
That cultivator’s eyes flickered slightly in the face of Tang Zhen’s reproaching. Soon after, he roared with a dark expression,”What do you mean by that? is it wrong to save you?”
Tang Zhen shook his head,”you better remember this. You’re not the one who saved us. Even those ordinary people are more qualified than you to say this.”
I’ll find out who the person who requested to open the cave is later and will definitely give a reward.
I’ll also find the person who destroyed the cave and stopped the rescue. If I’m not satisfied with this, none of you will have a good time!”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the cultivator sneered. He looked at Tang Zhen up and down and said in a disdainful tone, ” “What big words. I don’t mind telling you that I was one of the people who stopped the rescue.
The sea monster is in the cave. Why should we risk our lives for the lives of you outsiders?
You can only blame your bad luck for running into a King-level sea monster. You’re lucky to be able to walk out alive.”
Tang Zhen’s eyes turned a little cold after hearing the cultivator’s words. This was a sign of his true anger.
When he turned to look at the cultivators and the crowd, he found that they also had the same expression.
To them, the life and death of the outsiders really had nothing to do with them. As long as they ensured that their interests were not lost, it was fine.
“Very good. You said that we can only admit that we’re unlucky to have encountered a sea monster, but in my opinion, your luck may not be that good.
Who knew if the sea monster would appear again after it left?
Perhaps the next time it appears, it won’t be just one, but countless!”
After Tang Zhen said this, he turned his head and waved at Leah and the others. He then headed straight to the nearby square without turning his head back.
The vehicle that they had rented when they came was still there. They only needed to rush to the scheduled location and could leave directly by taking the vehicle.
“Sir Tang Zhen, are we just going to let this matter go?”
Someone in the group spoke in an indignant tone when he discovered that Tang Zhen was planning to leave. His face was filled with unwillingness.
“Didn’t you see that they’re in cahoots with each other? it’s obvious that they’re just patronizing us. We’re all alone now, so we naturally have to plan slowly.
If we force an explanation now, the other party will either give us a perfunctory reply or do us harm.
When the time comes, all they have to do is find an excuse and say that we’ve been killed by sea monsters, and they’ll be able to shirk all responsibility.
At that time, I really won’t be able to die in peace!”
Without waiting for Tang Zhen to speak, a female artisan opened her mouth to explain. Just from her tone, one could tell that she was obviously very angry.
Tang Zhen faintly smiled when he heard this. He did not explain any further and instead requested everyone to board the transportation tool as soon as possible.
As for the other survivors, they bid farewell to Tang Zhen and prepared to return home.
When they were about to leave, Tang Zhen looked at them and said, if you listen to me, leave this town as soon as possible. If you’re late, you might never be able to leave.
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard Tang Zhen’s words. They did not understand what he meant.
However, when they thought of Tang Zhen’s magical performance in the cave, the survivors ‘hearts trembled as they seemed to realize something.
After thanking Tang Zhen once again, everyone hurriedly looked for their own transportation and left the town in the valley without stopping for even a moment.
