Chapter 24: To eliminate harm to the people, do you think He Jun really did it?
After a while, the tyrant dragged a log back. Wu Ping’s face darkened as he scolded, “Is there a hole in your brain? Can you insert it properly? Be careful!”
He turned his head and searched for a thinner one, not as thick as Wu Ping’s hands, and kicked the idiot away. Wu Ping took a wooden stick, sharpened it with a deft touch, and remarked, “There’s still a bit of a knot!”
He Jun knew in his heart what would happen next. The sharp wooden stick would soon be inserted into his lower body. “No! Please, I don’t dare anymore. Please, please let me go! My father is He Baishan. He is a formidable man in the soul realm. He has money. Please don’t!”
“I said, I said, I said, I… Under the water village, I found a cave of a strong individual. There’s a technique called the Eternal Magic Trick in it. It’s in my storage bag! This tree is a unique species, and I… Ah!”
His screams echoed. To preserve the last trace of his dignity, he did not hesitate to reveal all his secrets. However, this did not prevent Wu Ping from carrying out his plan. As Wu Ping prepared to act, someone arrived—the powerhouses from Nanyang Mansion and the surrounding water towns. They had arrived early but hesitated due to the monstrous commotion. After waiting a while, they finally dared to come forward and assess the situation. Water Town marked the boundary of Nanyang, and with such a significant event, they felt obligated to investigate.
The scene they encountered was beyond imagination. The tragedy in Water Town had transformed the water bandit island into a purgatory on Earth, with oozing blood staining the surrounding waters red. The extent of the casualties shocked everyone. What they never expected was that Wu Ping would be present.
Many had seen Wu Ping at Deng’s house and offered gifts. This time, everyone froze in place, neither advancing nor retreating. Some, privy to parts of the inside story, understood that he wasn’t responsible for the tragedy in Water Town despite Wu Ping’s formidable reputation. That’s why they dared to come and investigate.
However, the shocking reality was that Wu Ping was indeed there and seemed to be the perpetrator. If they had known Wu Ping was involved, even with ten times the courage, they wouldn’t have dared to approach!
To eradicate the bandits, one must become the bandit. But what’s this? This is a demon! Demon Star Wu Ping—do you think that name is for the show? It’s not just a catchy moniker. It signifies a true terror.
Hundreds of people stood on the big boat, feeling uneasy and hesitant, not daring to make a move.
With a wicked smile, Wu Ping carried a wooden stick, impaling He Jun, who was still half-conscious. He landed on the ship’s bow and addressed the crowd, “You arrived just in time to witness with me, Wu Ping, today. This person committed the massacre hundreds of miles away in the water town. It had nothing to do with me, Wu Ping. If anyone dared to spread false accusations in the future, blaming me, think twice!”
Boom! Wu Ping poked the wooden stick on the boat, causing He Jun, who had fainted, to groan in pain.
“Wu Ping, you must not escape death! You have no descendants, but I won’t let you go when I catch demons!” He Jun’s insulted and angry shouts echoed, gaining recognition from the onlookers.
“He Jun? I didn’t expect that he did the massacre in Water Town! The people who usually look like dogs do such a terrible thing.”
“Kill him and avenge the slaughter of hundreds of miles in this water town!”
“Correct! Kill him!”
Seeing the crowd’s fervour, Wu Ping’s smile became even more sinister. The misunderstanding had to be clarified. As for He Jun impaled on the stick, his expression was grim.
“What should I do? It’s just a matter of winning or losing. I hate it!”
“Wu Ping, I’m waiting for you down there!” He Jun’s last roar marked his ascent into the flames, burning violently until nothing but ashes remained.
The onlookers couldn’t help but laugh, albeit with stiff smiles. Wu Ping declared, “Okay, it’s over here. Goodbye to the rivers and lakes!”
But they dared not say goodbye to Wu Ping. Jumping into the sky, Wu Ping announced, “Fire!” A fire dragon descended, and legends later said that this fire burned on the island for three days and nights. After it was extinguished, the place became a lifeless zone. In the dead of night, passersby could still hear the echoes of a thousand souls screaming on the island.
“Although Master Wu is a demon cultivator, he is” Sensing the surrounding atmosphere, a man hesitated to continue. His friend asked, “Do you think He Jun caused this? What a fool! He Jun was clearly a scapegoat thrown out by Lord Wu. Unlucky for him, Lord Wu caught him. Without He Jun, there is no Zhang Junjun and Li Jun. It’s a clear strategy for us to use a subordinate. Haven’t you employed this method before?”
