Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: The Fairy Has Come to Save Us

At one end of the square near the village entrance, a group of burly men in sturdy outfits stood in a row, each brandishing a gleaming long knife, looking fierce and sinister.

Additionally, a table was set up with a Taishi Chair beside it, occupied by a fat bald man drinking wine. A scar ran across his face from the corner of his eye to his ear like a centipede crawling on his face, making him appear both menacing and sickening.

A young girl sat trembling in front of the table, her face pale as paper and streaked with tears, not daring to cry out loud.

"Old man, one more is missing. Hurry and hand her over. It’s getting late, and we want to leave so you can rest, isn’t that right?" The bald man spoke viciously to an elderly man with white hair and beard.

The bald man and his companions were Qi Refiners.

Those kneeling were all ordinary people, including the elderly man, whose unsteady gait betrayed his weakness.

The elderly man staggered forward, pleading, "Sect Leader Wang, there really aren’t any suitable young girls in the village. I beg you to spare us, give everyone a chance at life."

As he spoke, the elderly man shakily pulled out a black money pouch from his pocket. "This is what everyone scraped together to honor you, please show some mercy."

What a pitiful sight, an old man pleading with a middle-aged man, addressing him respectfully.

The bald man weighed the pouch, satisfaction spreading across his face, "You’re quite sharp, old man. But one person isn’t enough to satisfy the Holy Beast; if it’s not fed, we’ll be in trouble. I won’t make it hard for you, just find a young girl."

With that, he instructed his subordinate to pocket the money. Typical extortion, taking the money without fulfilling the promise.

"Qin Yi, what’s going on there?" Yun Qinglian frowned.

"Seems like they want two girls to feed some Holy Beast. That Holy Beast is probably just a beast."

Yun Qinglian’s pretty face turned icy, "I think these people are beasts too, using live humans to feed Fierce Beasts, they deserve death."

"Sect Leader Wang, I beg you, please spare us. If the money is not enough, we’ll gather more, will that work?" The elderly man pleaded desperately.

"I just praised you and now you’re acting cocky? Didn’t you hear what I said? If the Holy Beast can’t eat, we’ll be in trouble." The bald man snarled, pointing at a girl, "Take her back."

"Sect Leader Wang, you can’t, she’s only twelve, still a child." The elderly man pleaded for mercy from the bald man.

"Just because you say no, it means no? Are you looking for death, old man? If not for you petty folks still being useful, I would’ve slaughtered you already. Get lost, am I giving you face by letting you defy my orders?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

With that, he raised his leg and kicked the elderly man, sending him flying over ten meters.

The old man, frail with age, could not withstand the kick, his body hit the ground with a scream and convulsed a few times before going still, killed by that single kick.

"Village Chief, Village Chief..."

The people kneeling cried out in terror.

But the elderly man was already dead, unmoving.

The onlookers glared at the bald man in anger, their eyes aflame.

The bald man sneered, "What, do you want to die?"

The crowd lowered their heads in fear, oppressed for too long, lacking the courage to resist. Besides, they were normal people, how could they fight against Qi Refiners.

"Take her, let’s go." The bald man pointed to the twelve-year-old girl.

A burly man stepped toward the girl. A woman clung to her, crying, "Take me instead, please, don’t harm my child, she’s just twelve...

"Get lost!" The burly man kicked the woman aside, reaching with his fan-like hand toward the girl.

The girl trembled in fear, unable to resist.

"Stop, you beasts!"

Suddenly, a furious voice echoed through the night sky.

Yun Qinglian descended like lightning from above, landing between the burly man and the girl. She raised her leg and kicked the man, sending him flying over ten meters.

The burly man cried out, blood spurting from his mouth, struggled a bit but couldn’t get up.

Among these people, only the bald man had a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. The others’ cultivations were negligible, bullying ordinary people was one thing, but facing Yun Qinglian was another level.

The sudden change left everyone stunned.

Yun Qinglian, beautiful and descending from the sky, kicked a burly man flying, leaving the villagers dumbfounded. Then, a glimmer of hope sparked in their eyes, did this fairy come to save them?

The bald man’s eyes narrowed, fixating on Yun Qinglian. He could sense that Yun Qinglian’s cultivation wasn’t weak.

"Who are you to interfere? Daring to cause trouble for my household?" The bald man stood up abruptly, his flab jiggling wildly.

Yun Qinglian looked at his flab with disgust and curiosity. Cultivation is tough; few can grow so fat. How did someone this fat become a Qi Refiner with considerable cultivation?

Little did she know, the bald man practiced a special cultivation technique, his flab had astonishing defensive power, absorbing attacks like cotton, greatly reducing their impact.

Despite Yun Qinglian’s cultivation being higher than the bald man’s, a fight between them would end in a stalemate.

Yun Qinglian’s face was stern, her voice harsh, "You beasts, using live humans to feed Fierce Beasts. This is Yunyue Empire’s territory, not Tianyue Empire’s. Who gave you the right to oppress the people?"

The bald man sneered disdainfully, "What Yunyue Empire, Tianyue Empire? Around here, Iron Armor Sect rules."

"Insolence, you dare challenge imperial authority? Aren’t you afraid the nearby War Generals will send troops to annihilate you?"

The bald man snorted with disdain, "What War Generals? With the Holy Beast, we have nothing to fear. If they come, they’ll never return."

Yun Qinglian’s face flushed with anger, "I don’t care what you beasts rely on, harming the people, none of you will leave alive today."

"Tsk tsk... little lady, such harsh words, almost scared me to pee. Look, my pants are wet." The bald man smirked lewdly, reaching to undo his belt, Yun Qinglian’s beauty stirred his lust.

Yun Qinglian, furious, raised her hand, unleashing a terrifying palm wind, aiming directly at the bald man.

The bald man, aware of Yun Qinglian’s prowess, dared not be careless. His flab shook violently, looking grotesque and repulsive. Next, the bald man charged directly into her palm wind.

"Boom!"

Yun Qinglian was shocked as her palm wind exploded upon impact with the bald man.

The bald man, seeing Yun Qinglian’s shocked expression, bragged, "Little lady, are you just tickling me?"
