The next morning.
A horrified scream reverberated throughout the town.
Everyone woke up from their dreams and hurriedly got up and walked out of their rooms. They stood in front of the window on the second floor and looked down.
On the stone-paved street, a group of strong men on horseback were waving their weapons and sweeping around.
One of them, a one-eyed man with an eye patch, was carrying a girl on his shoulder.
The girl struggled with all her might, but she was unable to break free from the strong arm. She could only let the one-eyed man carry her as she helplessly cried for help.
The townspeople were all huddled up in the alley, not daring to show their faces. Only a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes was kneeling in front of the one-eyed man and kowtowing to him, begging him to let her daughter go.
"Scram!" The one-eyed man roared and kicked the middle-aged woman away.
The woman was kicked to the ground and crashed into the wall behind her. She died on the spot.
"Mother!" The girl screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice was filled with helplessness and despair.
All the townspeople were curled up in their homes, silently mourning for her, but no one dared to stand up and stop it.
The one-eyed man laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, these ordinary people are really trash. They died with a light kick. They are as weak as ants."
The one-eyed man's arrogant words completely infuriated the townspeople, causing their bodies to tremble.
After killing a living person, he actually mocked the dead as trash and ants. This was simply unforgivable!
Even though the townspeople were furious to the extreme, no one dared to stand up and fight back.
Everyone buried their heads in their homes and swallowed their anger. They curled up in a corner and cried silently.
Clang!
Yun Ruoxi finally could not stand it any longer. She pulled out the sword at her waist and prepared to jump out of the window.
"Wait." Lin Yun grabbed her lily-white hand and sheathed the sword in her hand.
Lin Yun shook his head first, then said to Yun Ruoxi: "They are all low-level Martial Disciples, and are only the outer members of this group of bandits. We can't alert them just to kill them. We have to find their lair first. "
Ren Tanqian nodded in agreement. "Lin Yun is right. We can't lose the big picture for the small."
Yun Ruoxi bit her lips and glared fiercely at the bandits downstairs, but she could only give up.
The one-eyed man raised his rough voice and roared, "Listen up, people of the town. Our master needs a virgin boy and a virgin girl to sacrifice to the heavens."
"We're still short of a virgin boy. You have fifteen minutes to hand him over. Otherwise, don't blame us for slaughtering the entire town!"
Hearing the one-eyed man's words, all the townspeople fell into a state of panic. They were so frightened that their faces were ashen, and even their bodies could not help but tremble.
This group of ruthless bandits killed without batting an eye. If they said they would slaughter, they would slaughter without any room for negotiation. If they didn't hand over the virgin boy, all the people in the town would die!
But who would be willing to hand over their own son?
Everyone was well aware that those who were handed over to be sacrificed to the heavens would eventually die a miserable death.
Who would be willing to see their child suffer such inhumane torture and then die a horrible death?
When all the townspeople fell into despair, the door of the inn opened with a creak.
A boy and girl around the age of fifteen or sixteen walked out of the inn unhurriedly.
The entire street fell silent at that moment.
All the strong men on horseback turned their heads at the same time, their gazes landing on the young boy and girl.
The boy had a head of black hair and was dressed in black. His eyes were as black as ink.
The girl wore a white dress and was as beautiful as a fairy. Her eyes were pure and flawless.
Without a doubt, this boy and girl were Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
Seeing that it was Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi who walked out, the inn's old innkeeper was dumbfounded.
He could not understand at all. The key was clearly in his hands. How did these two get out?
The old innkeeper hurriedly closed the door and turned to Ren Tanqian. "Sir, they ran out. What should we do?"
"Don't worry about them. They'll be fine." Ren Tanqian sat on a chair and drank his morning tea calmly.
Seeing Ren Tanqian's attitude, the old innkeeper almost choked.
His companions were outside, facing a group of vicious bandits. Their lives were hanging by a thread.
Yet, he sat calmly on the chair and drank his tea as if nothing had happened.
It was unbelievable. Were these people really his companions?
Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi walked in front of the strong men and calmly stopped.
Lin Yun pointed at the girl on the one-eyed man's shoulder and said expressionlessly, "Let go of that girl and let us go."
The strong men on horseback all smiled playfully and surrounded Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
"Both of you are children?" The one-eyed man looked at the two of them up and down.
Lin Yun did not say anything. He only nodded expressionlessly.
The one-eyed man also did not say anything. He only sized them up in confusion. His gaze became more and more strange.
He realized that these two were very calm. There was not a trace of fear on their faces. There was not even the slightest change in their expressions.
The one-eyed man was instantly filled with curiosity. Were these two not afraid at all?
The one-eyed man dropped the girl on his shoulder. He drew the machete from his waist and placed it on Lin Yun's neck. He looked at Lin Yun playfully. "Reckless brat. Do you know what will happen to you?"
As the one-eyed man spoke, he kept rubbing the blade in his hand against Lin Yun's shoulder.
Lin Yun remained expressionless. He allowed the blade to rub against his shoulder without blinking.
The one-eyed man was completely dumbfounded when he saw Lin Yun's reaction.
He only wanted to scare Lin Yun and make everyone including Lin Yun tremble in front of him to satisfy his vanity.
Anyone in the past would have been so scared that their legs would turn to jelly.
However, Lin Yun was completely indifferent. It was as if he did not see it at all. He could not understand it at all.
Was this brat not afraid of death?
Or was he tired of living?
"Cut the crap. Take us away." Lin Yun looked straight into the one-eyed man's eyes. His stare actually made the one-eyed man's hair stand on end.
The one-eyed man shook his head and snapped out of his daze. He ordered the strong men behind him, "Take them away!"
The strong men jumped off their horses. They took out hemp ropes and walked toward Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi.
Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi did not resist. They just stood there and let them tie them up.
After tying them up, the strong men led them out of the town.
Only after they were far away did the townspeople who were hiding in the alleys come out.
"Who are these young men and women? They shouldn't be from our town, right? "
"I think they're from out of town. It's a pity that they'll never have the chance to come back."
The townspeople felt sorry for the two people who were taken away. They felt grateful and fortunate at the same time.
