Chapter 1144: Chapter 21: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
"No matter how much you grow, you’re still Master’s little Kong Hou." Kong Hou rubbed her head against Tianmiao’s palm, closing her eyes in bliss.
"Yes, forever my little Kong Hou." Tianmiao smiled. Of course, forever her little Kong Hou, that will never change.
"Master, where are you going?" Kong Hou asked.
"I need to take care of something, just right, you can come along too." Tianmiao looked ahead, "Let’s go. If we don’t hurry, we’ll have to use Time Reversal."
"Alright." Hearing this, Kong Hou felt a bit nervous.
Then Tianmiao took Kong Hou’s hand, transforming into a streak of light, swiftly moving away.
...
"Qing Jun, disperse our souls. If we fall into their hands, we’ll suffer day and night, never to reincarnate." A woman’s voice, resolute and desperate.
"No, I won’t give up even if there’s a sliver of hope. Just hold on a bit longer. If we reach the East Sea, if we get to the Heavenly Dao Sect, we will be saved." A weary man’s voice replied.
In the sky, the man’s blue clothes nearly soaked with blood, flying all the way, blood raining down from above, turning into droplets of blood rain, ghastly to see. In his arms, two small bottles, containing the souls of his wife and child.
"But, I’m afraid we won’t make it... Qing Jun, I don’t want our child to suffer the burning flames and the agony of piercing pain..." The woman’s voice filled with sorrow, pain, and despair.
"Just hold on a bit longer, Hong Ying, hold on a bit longer... We will reunite as a family, live under the sun, we’ll even fly together in the blue sky, it’s still possible..." Qing Jun comforted, yet tears uncontrollably streamed down. What had they done wrong? They cultivated arduously, never harming anyone or any creature, living quietly in their little world, yet they are hunted by greedy humans.
Those humans caught his wife and child, flayed them and drew their blood, their flesh used for Alchemy, their bones for Artifact Refining, but that’s not all, they imprisoned their souls to infuse them into weapons, creating some Divine Artifact. How could they be so vicious? Such hatred, hatred!
He infiltrated, finally stealing back the souls of his wife and child, but was discovered. The greedy humans shouted excitedly, there’s an even stronger demon beast here. Then, the pursuit began, lasting for days and nights.
He was also nearing exhaustion, unable to hold on.
"Up ahead, someone!" Qing Jun looked at the figures ahead, his heart sinking. It’s over, it’s over! Everything is over! Surrounded, he had no strength left.
"Quick, that demon beast is exhausted!" Excited voices of humans reached from behind.
Qing Jun stopped mid-air, slowly and hopelessly closing his eyes. He prepared to self-destruct! To take his wife and child with him, self-destruct so as to not leave even a trace for these greedy and vicious humans.
Humans chasing from behind got closer, Qing Jun’s hand gently placed on his chest, stroking the bottle containing his wife and child’s souls, awaiting death. But, within, there was still too much unwillingness, too much anger and hatred.
"How dare you!" Suddenly, a woman’s stern shout rang out.
A gust of wind swept past Qing Jun, followed by cries of anguish from behind him.
What happened?
Qing Jun opened his eyes in shock, only to see the two figures ahead already standing right in front of him.
