Chapter 1558: Chapter 1555: Repaying Evil with Good

Si Yao’s words exploded like a clap of thunder in everyone’s ears.

The people were momentarily stunned.

The angry expressions froze on their faces, replaced by sheer shock.

They stared with wide eyes at Xu Wendong, unable to believe what they were hearing.

Their eyes were full of disbelief, as if time had stopped at this very moment.

”What? He saved us?” Wang Tong’s voice trembled, his lips slightly quivering, revealing an incredulous look in his eyes.

Recalling all the hostility he had shown towards Xu Wendong before, a strong sense of guilt surged within him.

He had tried more than once to cause trouble for Xu Wendong, even wanting to put him to death.

But he never dreamed that at a critical moment, Xu Wendong would step forward, disregarding past grievances to save his life.

Zhen Jing also looked completely astonished: ”How is this possible? We treated him in such a way before...”

His eyes were filled with confusion.

Because he simply didn’t understand why Xu Wendong would save his life.

Others were also experiencing a tumult of emotions; their pupils were trembling fiercely, revealing the depth of their shock.

They never expected that Xu Wendong, whom they regarded as ominous, was actually their savior in disguise.

The change in his status made it difficult for them to adapt in a short time.

Especially thinking back to what happened in the underground city, their faces felt a burning heat.

Because they had once clamored to offer Xu Wendong as a blood sacrifice.

Even when Xu Wendong was driven out of the city, they had insulted him in countless ways, even throwing stones at him.

After the shock, a tide of shame engulfed everyone’s hearts.

This caused many to blush, and some even shed tears of shame.

The elder who had roared earlier lowered his head in shame, his face flushed red.

His body trembled slightly, and he clutched his hands together tightly.

”I... I am truly a foolish old man. I wrongly blamed our benefactor. Please do not hold it against me.” His voice was filled with remorse and self-reproach, as if condemning his own stupidity.

The people all lowered their heads, their hearts heavy with guilt.

Some silently wept, others bit their lips tightly, while others shook their heads repeatedly, as if ashamed of their actions.

Reflecting on the curses and hostility they had directed at Xu Wendong, they were filled with self-reproach.

They felt so small and ignorant, having misjudged such a kind and brave person.

After a while, a sense of gratitude began to spread within their hearts.

They looked at Xu Wendong with eyes full of respect and gratitude.

”Young Master Xu, we’re sorry, we wronged you,” a woman said tearfully, her eyes shimmering with tears.

”Thank you for saving our lives, we will definitely repay your kindness.”

Liu Yuansong and the Shadow were also unable to remain calm inside, having never expected that Xu Wendong would repay evil with good by saving their lives.

They also hadn’t anticipated that this place was actually a huge spatial magic treasure.

After regaining his composure, Liu Yuansong cupped his fists, his face full of remorse: ”Thank you, Young Master Xu, for not bearing any grudges. I am truly ashamed of myself.”

The Shadow also lowered his head in shame.

Xu Wendong smiled gently and said, ”Let bygones be bygones!”

In fact, he didn’t like Liu Yuansong and the Shadow; neither of them were good people.

Liu Yuansong was the main culprit for him being seen as ominous.

But.

Liu Yuansong did not side with the Otherworldly Demons when danger loomed, which was a commendable thing.

Yes.

Despite being cunning, he did not commit any fundamental wrong.

It was precisely for this reason that Xu Wendong chose to save them.

”Everyone, take a moment to rest,” Xu Wendong said to the crowd, a faint smile appearing on his face: ”This place is rich in Immortal Energy, with many Spiritual Fields and homes. From now on, you can live here and no longer lead anxious lives.”

Upon hearing this.

Everyone’s faces lit up with excitement.

They had long endured enough of living in fear and anxiety!

Now being able to live in this paradise was something they had dreamed of.

Liu Yuansong said, ”Let’s first assess the casualties. Those severely injured should be treated at the Alchemy Hall, while others will be registered for distribution of Spiritual Fields and homes.”

Having previously served as the acting City Lord, he managed all matters big and small within the city, and the people listened to his commands.

Of course.

The tallying of casualties was a complex process for these people, but Xu Wendong knew the specific casualty details.

He also knew that this time he had saved a total of 620,000 innocent people.

The wounded numbered over 250,000.

He did not interfere with the situation here but instead took Si Yao back to Lingyan Pavilion, the grand hall where Si Yao cultivated.

Entering the hall, a mysterious and icy aura hit them in the face.

At that moment, a coffin of ice was placed in the center of the hall, emanating an ancient and mysterious charm.

The coffin was crafted from an unknown deep blue material, the surface covered with strange patterns, resembling ancient symbols left by time.

These patterns flickered with faint light from time to time, as if narrating ancient stories.

An indistinct layer of cold mist lingered around the ice coffin; even from several meters away, the bone-chilling cold was palpable, as if it could freeze a person’s soul.

This ice coffin was previously stored beneath the Tianji Pavilion, and inside it lay the Immortal King of the underground city, Yue Qingchen.

Si Yao glanced at the Jade Coffin with a complex look in her eyes, a sorrowful expression in her brow, then looked at Xu Wendong and couldn’t help but ask, ”Can you heal Lord Immortal King?”

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, ”Is her injury that severe?”

Si Yao nodded, letting out a soft sigh: ”Her Physical Body and meridians are completely shattered. Not only that, but her Soul has also suffered heavy damage. If it weren’t for this Jade Coffin, Lord Immortal King would have perished long ago.”

Xu Wendong said, ”Let’s open the Jade Coffin and I’ll check Lord Immortal King’s condition!”

Si Yao pinched the spell with both hands, and a mysterious power surged out.

In the next moment.

The cover of the Jade Coffin slowly moved aside, revealing a face so beautiful it was almost suffocating to look at.

It was a face seemingly sculpted with utmost care, skin as white as snow, so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch.

Her brows were like distant mountains, slightly furrowed, conveying unsolvable worry.

Her eyes were closed tight, long lashes like the wings of a butterfly gently trembling, as if they might open at any moment to reveal eyes as bright as the stars.

Her nose was high and elegant, lips as delicate as cherry blossoms, slightly pursed with a hint of stubbornness.

A cascade of jet-black hair fell like a waterfall inside the Jade Coffin, emitting an enigmatic sheen.

Her aura was cool and noble, like a Fairy untouched by the mortal world, or a goddess in slumber, making it hard for anyone to approach yet irresistibly drawn to admire her beauty.

Even in her sleep, she exuded a powerful aura; it was the dignity and majesty of an Immortal King.

However, her presence was extremely weak, barely there, giving the impression that she was on the verge of fading away, evoking a strong sense of pity.
