The entire city's populace stared in disbelief.
Their gazes were fixed on Xiao Ye, as if an infected had defeated the giant serpent back then.
Tens of thousands of lives in the city, all saved by Xiao Ye…
"He's not a bad person, but a good one?"
The little boy looked at Xiao Ye doubtfully.
The crowd suddenly came to their senses, their expressions complex and emotional.
"Were we deceived too? The Alliance didn't care about our small city back then, it was Xiao Ye who helped us drive away the demonic creatures…"
So they were supposed to regard Xiao Ye as a hero?
The Alliance's strong fighters were still desperately begging for mercy, feeling the dark energy surrounding them, like a deathly summons.
"Xiao Ye, you saved a city?"
Gu Xiaosu was also very surprised. She gazed at Xiao Ye's calm face.
Perhaps, ten years ago, he truly wasn't a bad person, and had even sacrificed everything for Blue Star?
"So what if I saved it? Didn't this city repay us with ingratitude?" Xiao Ye chose this city for slaughter, and there were reasons for it.
Because this small city had also ruthlessly eradicated the infected.
Perhaps it wasn't everyone's fault, but most of the infected Xiao Ye knew initially were dead.
Including his brother, Gu Ye.
They too had longed for the sun, hoping Blue Star would accept them.
But no one thought they should exist.
Gu Ye's death made Xiao Ye completely world-weary.
Why did he surrender to the female war gods?
Because his heart was as dead as ashes.
In the situation at the time, Xiao Ye couldn't fight against fate, because he was too weak then!
As a traitor, he endured all humiliation.
Xiao Ye treating the female war gods this way, taking revenge on the entire Blue Star Alliance,
was not due to the pain in reincarnation, but more so because of how he was tormented and treated on Blue Star.
How Gu Xiaosu and the others toyed with and humiliated him, and how many infected they had killed like monsters!
Xiao Ye admitted he might have his own sins, but they should be the ones kneeling to repent first.
Repenting for their sins, this world had long been abandoned by the gods.
He, Xiao Ye, would crush flesh and bone, pave the way with souls, and forge a great path!
So that countless infected could survive because of Xiao Ye.
Gu Xiaosu felt a chill in her heart from Xiao Ye's gaze, her lips moved slightly.
Wanting to know how this city had repaid him with ingratitude?
The people of Blue Star reacted, they hurriedly explained, "We are all victims, we didn't know anything, we didn't know you were a hero, we thought the Alliance's strong fighters were…"
Their gazes were sincere, as if they had truly repented.
Xiao Ye's eyes swept over them disdainfully. He didn't believe a single word the people of Blue Star said!
Because he could feel that the crowd was forced to say this out of fear.
Xiao Ye chuckled in a low voice, "Then if you consider me a hero, are you willing to join us and become infected?"
"This…"
The faces of the Blue Star people turned grim, they clenched their fists.
Xiao Ye was deliberately testing them, yet not a single human was willing to agree.
After all, the price of becoming infected was to be hunted and killed by the entire Blue Star Alliance.
They weren't that foolish to live the life of fugitives like Xiao Ye and the others.
"Xiao Ye, let these civilians go. We will no longer follow the Blue Star Alliance to hunt and pursue you infected…"
Suddenly.
Amidst the fearful Blue Star crowd, the city's caretakers finally appeared.
Xiao Ye saw three elderly men; they were the leaders of this city!
"May I ask, are you negotiating with me?"
Xiao Ye's chest rumbled with a hoarse, low laugh, his tone eerily profound.
"No, we are pleading. We plead for you to spare our city."
The three elderly men saw that the strong fighters were all kneeling and begging for mercy.
With their A-class cultivation, how could they possibly negotiate with Xiao Ye?
"If you desire our city's loyalty, we can dedicate it all to you…"
"Except become infected, right?"
Xiao Ye smiled.
He saw through the intentions of these old men at a glance.
The old men immediately stiffened. They were all shrewd old foxes.
Unfortunately, with Xiao Ye's absolute strength, they were powerless against him.
Taking advantage of Xiao Ye's attention being focused on the old men,
the strong fighters exchanged glances, unleashed their auras, and prepared to flee.
"You want to escape…"
Xiao Xi moved like a blur, unleashing power with her hands, charging towards the strong fighters.
The strong fighters' hearts pounded. They certainly didn't regard Xiao Xi as an ordinary girl.
Xiao Xi was already attacking the strong fighters with lethal intent; she wanted to send everyone to hell.
"Please spare us, we beg you…"
The strong fighters pleaded frantically to Xiao Xi.
But Xiao Xi was unmoved.
She tilted her head and said chillingly, "You hurt Ye. If you don't die, how can we live up to him?"
"Run quickly, don't stop!"
The strong fighters' faces turned pale. They could travel a hundred meters every second.
Even when they exerted their full strength, they still couldn't escape Xiao Xi's attack.
Xiao Xi's figure was like an arrow. Powerful mental attacks struck the strong fighters, one after another.
Two strong fighters fell, their hands stained with blood.
The crowd was horrified.
They realized that Xiao Xi's terror far exceeded their imagination.
The strong fighters desperately appealed to the surrounding crowd for help, "We've protected you many times. You can't just watch us die. After we die, you'll be next…"
The Blue Star populace was startled. They couldn't just wait for the strong fighters to die.
Otherwise, all their lives would be tragically ended by Xiao Ye's army.
Whether to help the strong fighters or to save themselves,
no one dared to plead in front of Xiao Ye.
Their gazes turned to Gu Xiaosu, praying she could make Xiao Ye sheath his sword.
"Goddess, please make Xiao Ye spare us, spare the strong fighters. He was once a hero, he shouldn't have become so evil and crazy…"
Gu Xiaosu's expression was somewhat bewildered.
She was caught off guard by the crowd.
She hadn't expected the crowd to ask for her help instead of confronting Xiao Ye directly.
The people of Blue Star had previously shouted curses at Gu Xiaosu, and now they hoped she would save the situation.
Gu Xiaosu felt a chill for the first time, an unresolvable coldness.
She fell into doubt. Was she right or wrong in the past, helping Blue Star and killing countless infected…
"Do you still want to plead for them?"
Xiao Ye looked at Gu Xiaosu calmly.
He posed the question to Gu Xiaosu with an unfathomable gaze.
Gu Xiaosu saw the darkness in Xiao Ye's eyes, her slender body stiffened.
The Blue Star she had protected for so long was so disappointing.
Should she still plead?
Gu Xiaosu felt a sense of confusion, but her gaze flickered away.
Xiao Ye looked at her with leisurely amusement.
As if waiting for an answer. If Gu Xiaosu also chose to abandon Blue Star,
he might not torment her with memories anymore.
As expected.
Gu Xiaosu's reaction was disappointing, "Let them go. Even if they wronged you, they don't deserve to die."
