Double Cultivation
loyal to their hearts
When the group that followed Su Yang finally reached the first floor, a strong smell of blood and flesh pierced through their noses, and they were startled by the bloody scene, which resembled a butcher's room.
In fact, the place was so terrifying that some people there instantly vomited, and someone even fainted on the spot.
"It's cruel …"
Even though they were bandits and did terrible things to them, these people could not help but frown at the scene and the countless mutilated corpses scattered across every inch of this floor.
However, Su Yang ignored the sight and headed straight for the exit, even stepping on the corpses as he walked.
The people there looked at Su Yang with contemplative gazes. Did he kill these bandits alone? After all, they had been here for quite some time now without seeing anyone else.
meaki was so, they found it hard to believe that someone as young as Su Yang might be this merciless, let alone kill all these bandits alone.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Blossom Sect had been waiting for almost an hour now.
"Do you think something happened to him? He went to the bandits' hideout alone ..." One of the Junior Disciples asked.
"Don't say anything annoying! senior brother will be fine!" Qi Yue said with a frown.
Just when he finished saying those words, a figure that was seen approached them from a distance, and a few seconds later, a large group of individuals followed.
"Sister!"
Qi Yue immediately ran towards him with a bright smile on her face.
Su Yang quickly noticed the small figure running towards him and smiled.
"You little one, are your legs okay?" said.
"Un! And that's all thanks to senior brother!" Qi Yue nodded.
Some time later, Sun Jingjing and the sect elder approached Su Yang.
"Who are those people behind you?" ask Sun Jingjing.
"They were captured by the bandits, and I released them, that's all."
Su Yang then turned to look at the group behind him and spoke, "Now that you are free, you can do as you please. Ah ... If you are thinking of paying me to save you today, don't bother ..." said Su Yang shaking his head
He then looked at the girls who would rather commit suicide than live.
Su Yang continued, "I'll keep my promise, so if you'd rather die than continue living because of some painful memories, I won't stop you, even if you do it now. "
"…"
The place became quiet, and after a moment of silence, Su Yang continued: "and also, if you want, I can erase your painful memories …"
The girls looked at him with wide eyes.
"You ... Can you do that?"
"Of course" he said calmly.
"Please .. please help me forget ..." One of the girls immediately pleaded with her while crying, and the other quickly followed.
If they can go on living with no memory of their time in hiding – bandits live as if it never happened, then these girls will choose that over dead.
Although his face remained indifferent, Su Yang smiled in his heart.
"All right," he nodded.
"Line in front of me and I will erase your memory for you. However, in order for me to do that, I need to look at some of your memories, if you don't mind."
The girls quickly lined up in front of Su Yang, who placed his hands on the foreheads of these girls and closed his eyes.
Indeed, what Su Yang did might not exactly 'remove' the memories but rather 'sealing', so that it could be reclaimed in the future, something the Su Family had done to him.
even so, as long as these girls did not cultivate to the point where they could erase the seal on their memories, they would live life without those bad memories until the day they died.
Half an hour later, almost everyone captured by the Red Mountain Bandits had their memories sealed away by Su Yang.
"I ... I can't remember anything for the past few months …"
"I-me too! I can't remember no matter how much I tried!"
The people there expressed shock before seeing Su Yang.
Even though their memories had been sealed, they were still able to remember Su Yang. And while they did not remember what he did to them, they felt nothing but deep gratitude for him.
After confirming that their memories had been sealed properly, Su Yang said to the disciples of the Blossom Sect: "We can now return to the Sect."
"Huh? What about these people?" One of the elders of the sect asked.
"I have restored their freedom. What they're doing now is no longer my problem."
"…"
However, before leaving them, Su Yang made sure to give them some – gold enough to live the rest of their lives without needing to work.
"Su Yang, how should we return to the Blossom Sect? If we don't use the flying treasure, we need a few days .." Sun Jingjing asked him.
"Although it would be troublesome to travel back and forth with flying treasures, it would definitely be much faster than traveling on foot."
Su Yang looked at Sun Jingjing for a moment before speaking, "What are you talking about? Now that they're no longer in danger, we don't need to be here."
Su Yang then took out a wooden boat and jumped on it.
A while later, Su Yang said to Sun Jingjing, who was standing there with a puzzled look, "What are you waiting for? If you don't come, I'll come back alone …"
"I'm-i'm coming!" Sun Jingjing no longer thought about it and jumped onto the wooden boat with her.
"Then ...we will see you back in the Blossom Sect ..." Sun Jingjing said to the astonished disciples in a slightly embarrassed voice, before the wooden boat disappeared from the location.
As soon as they left the place, Sun Jingjing asked Su Yang, "Can you tell me why you didn't bring them? I can't believe that someone like you would leave them there like that for no good reason."
Su Yang remained with a calm expression and asked, "Did you explain to them the situation of the Blossom Sect?"
"I did it…"
"everything?" said Su Yang.
"Yes…"
"Then did you forget to think maybe some of them did not want to return to the Blossom Sect after knowing that the place they knew already did not exist?"
Sun Jingjing's eyes widened in shock upon realizing the possibility.
Since the Blossom Sect was pretty much left here, would the sect elders and Junior Disciples want to continue being disciples in such a place? After all, even though these Junior Disciples were considered disciples by the Profound Blossom Sect, they had yet to officially become disciples.
As for the sect elders, perhaps they no longer wanted to remain in a place that had almost no disciples.
"i left them there so that they could decide whether they wanted to return to the Sect or not. As for why I did not tell them this .. they can now completely decide for themselves without any influence. In other words, they could be honest with their hearts. "
"…"
Sun Jingjing was speechless, yet her gaze that looked at Su Yang was filled with admiration. Thinking he'd think so far .. is really awesome.
