Chapter 916: Absolution
Some of the most righteously angry members of the crowd flared up, confused about if they should push to punish the man who now seemed to be free. Should he die to pay for his sins? Should he be forced to atone? How much did he know about what he did and could they gather more information from him?
None of these questions got asked. The now free guards eyes suddenly rolled back and the still free parts of his body convulsed rapidly. Bile and blood spilled from his lips before his body went still. Life left him in just those few seconds and the crowd was astounded. The man with the glowing aura was not surprised and he held up the vile helmet of the Yi Yang Group, I used a special method to delay his death for a few moments, but the truth is more depressing. Not only can their masters order them to suicide, but if the helmet is removed they also die quite immediately. I know of no method to save these poor souls once theyve been turned into these helmeted guards.
There was no way to free these slaves of the Yi Yang Group. At least none that anyone present seemed to know. Since what they were doing was hidden from the public, then any cures for it would also be equally as hidden. Of course, the group covered in glowing auras from the Lang Clan cared nothing about it. They picked up the Projector Magical Tool and left behind the dead guard. The bubble restraining the man had already dissipated and the Yi Yang Groups important personnel were dead. Theyd taken the most valuable bits of loot and left plenty of evidence for other groups to find.
Not everyone in the crowd was a fool and understood this attack's true purpose. There were always groups in the Cultivator world that cared about their appearance. Even if they were just as ruthless as others behind closed doors, they liked to appear higher and more honorable than the common mortals. These were the families and peoples that theyd grown up among and they liked to feel like heroes and great beings whod ascended to a new level. They needed to justify to themselves that the terrible things they did to other Cultivators was because they were needed to manage the normal humans like shepherds.
Even if public opinion mattered little to most of the Cultivation world, there were many lower level and righteous groups that valued it. By exposing the Yi Yang Groups viciousness to the common folk it gave these groups validation to strike. If everyone thought you were a group of villains then who would dare to stand up for you? The only issue was that most of these upright groups were not that strong and there were many villains they didnt dare to go up against.
Jiaos second son, Xingwang, was the hulk with a metal body. The little boy who had constantly smashed his fists against a dummy till tears fell from his eyes had continually suffered setbacks to reach his current state. He was the first to experiment with the Mineral Body taken from the Spirit Jade Beetle. He ended up with a rock-like body, tough, but slow and brittle. All of his skin hurt constantly, but that didnt stop him. He used a chrysalis to start over and repeated the process, suffering more and more pain and strange transformations until finally discovering the tyrannical metallic body he had now.
Jiaos second daughter, Yujie, was the opposite and constant foil to her sister Bingqing. Due to the favorable terrain she single handedly destroyed an entire base. It took her a few weeks of preparation, but she did it simply for the right to gloat. Bingqings icy stare showed how little she cared for the accomplishment, but that didnt stop Yujie from bragging about it.
Jiaos third daughter, Fangdan, cared little about the antics of her two sisters. Instead, she followed in her mothers footsteps using the improved spider poison taken from her mothers Zhu Clan. They purposely deactivated their own poison immunity in order to drug themselves and enhance their performance. She was even less like the others as she had nothing to prove about the first generation of children. She didnt lead a team of Dragoons, but true Lang Clansmen. The hundred of them all followed the same path and trained together constantly, which showed as they destroyed the most troublesome Yi Yang Group base in the fastest time.
It wasnt just Jiaos children participating in the attack. Lings first son, Yating, was the Clan Head and all of this couldnt happen without his approval. There was also Lings third son, Yahui, who led a massive spy network. Without the intelligence gathered they would have to reveal far more strength and treat this more like a war and less like a series of carefully planned strikes.
They werent the only ones. Lings second daughter, Yawen, followed the path of the stealth assassin. She had broken into that command and communication base to assassinate some of the Yi Yang Groups greatest generals and throw them into disarray to prevent any reinforcements arriving to the other attacks. She was in the most danger, but if she were to bring along any backup it would only make it harder for her to remain completely hidden as long as she had.
Lastly, there was Yazhu. Lings second son, he had followed in the footsteps of his older half brother, Xingwang. He also experimented with the Mineral Body, but with careful manipulation. He altered the Spirit Jade composition that the beetles used not into stone or metal, but so that it was the perfect conduit for the Jade Mantle technique. He also wasnt foolish enough to go solo, but brought a small team so the public could see the Yi Yang Groups weakness. Those following his route had mastered maintaining two sets of Jade Mantles. Shielding their body with their normal Qi and using their Poison Qi to create weapons. They could be faster, tougher and stronger than those with the metal body or poisonous steroids, but only in short bursts when they burned up their Mantles.
