Chapter 1525 - 1523: This Is the Fate of the Exiles, and We Must Accept It...
A group of displaced people felt deeply conflicted.
On one hand, they didn’t want fratricide, yet on the other, they didn’t want to become homeless again, losing their current life.
After much internal conflict, they had no choice but to follow Lan Zhengqing’s orders, surrounding the displaced person who had made a mistake.
"Brother, I’m sorry, it’s not our fault. You can only blame yourself for being too cowardly."
"No, it’s not your fault either. If it were me... I would probably go insane out of fear just like you."
"We can only say that fate wasn’t kind to you, alas..."
"Brother, please forgive us. We’re also forced to do this."
"Farewell, we’ll meet again in Hell."
"In the next life, don’t be a displaced person again. This is our fate, and we must accept it."
The group surrounded the person, lowering their voices, murmuring endlessly.
Many had tears in their eyes.
They pressed their lips tightly together, their expressions filled with deep conflict and anguish.
They didn’t want to act, but to survive, they had no choice.
"No... don’t..."
Qiu Xi, severely injured, saw the situation and her cheeks twitched slightly as she tried to stop them, but the words were trapped in her throat, unable to escape.
She struggled to get up, but her hands and feet were powerless.
Therefore.
She could only crawl towards that direction, chanting constantly but was unheard by anyone.
Lan Zhengqing watched the scene with interest, grinning widely.
Trying to escape my control? No chance!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Before Qiu Xi could crawl over.
The fists fell upon the guy like raindrops, as they battered him.
The guy lay quietly on the ground like a sandbag, eyes empty, helplessly staring into the Void, no longer feeling any pain.
The next moment.
He became a cloud of blood mist, disappearing forever!
Blood stained everyone, and the scene was bloody and unbearable to witness.
Qiu Xi stared in shock and disbelief, frozen in place, completely stunned.
She never expected these displaced people to truly act.
And against their own brothers and sisters!
Her heart stirred, mixed with complex emotions, as she stared blankly at the pool of blood mist on the ground, eyes wide open, motionless.
Rustle!
The displaced silently executed a brother who had made a mistake.
No one was excited, no one was exhilarated.
Everyone’s expression was solemn, serious, and terrified. They dared not meet Lan Zhengqing’s gaze, only lowering their heads, tears in their eyes, lips pursed, trying to suppress their complex emotions.
However.
They truly didn’t know how they should feel now.
Pain, numbness, helplessness, anger, fear, panic...
Various emotions intertwined in everyone’s heart, forming a complex web that imprisoned them in an inescapable emotional trap.
Yet.
It was exactly what Lan Zhengqing wanted to see.
The more these wretched displaced people become numb and follow blindly, the easier it would be to control their actions.
The displaced don’t need ideas, just orders, like robots!
Clap!
Lan Zhengqing applauded, smiling, saying: "Good, very good! I’m very satisfied with everyone’s performance. Ice Cicada Sect must be a brave, invincible unit. It can’t have cowards lurking among us! Everyone must be spirited and follow my commands. Don’t forget, it’s me who gave you this life! If you want your old life back, then leave Blizzard Village now!"
A deathly silence.
The next moment.
"Thank you, Lan Shao!"
"Thank you, Lan Shao!"
"Pledge allegiance to Lan Shao till death!"
"Pledge allegiance to Lan Shao till death!"
The synchronized shouts echoed through the skies.
Everyone’s faces returned to the previous numbness, showing no trace of pain.
Remember, they just slaughtered a brother with their own hands!
They know well that if they made a mistake, they would share the same fate!
But to survive and not be expelled from Blizzard Village, they had to act this way, to absolutely obey Lan Zhengqing’s orders.
Only Qiu Xi’s eyes shone with a different light.
While everyone was swearing allegiance to Lan Zhengqing, only her eyes watched the brother who became blood mist.
This tragic life, originally did not deserve death, yet through twists of fate, became a wrongful death.
Moreover.
Killed by punches, kicks, and palms from their displaced brothers.
However.
She didn’t blame the displaced.
But she didn’t know who to blame, should she blame Lan Zhengqing?
Qiu Xi gasped deeply, emotions surged within her heart, a mess.
Lan Zhengqing waved dismissively, his expression arrogant and satisfied. For a moment, he thought Ice Cicada Sect was slipping from his grasp, but luckily, he regained control.
He laughed coldly in his heart.
These displaced truly are unique trash, terrified by a few words.
Such powerful skills, yet with the most humble identity and weak heart, these people are utterly torn!
Ha ha ha!
If they weren’t torn, he couldn’t use them to achieve his ambitions.
"Alright!"
He waved his hand, stopping their cries.
"Outside, it’s freezing cold. Divine Phoenix is badly injured. Even if someone helps her escape, she won’t get far."
"All Ice Cicada Sect members, hear my orders!"
"Search carefully within a fifty-kilometer range, don’t miss any clues. Bring Divine Phoenix back to me! If you can’t find her, don’t bother returning. Got it?!"
"Yes!"
The group replied in unison.
Lan Zhengqing nodded, signaling them to move.
All the displaced surged out, disappearing into the icy world outside the door.
Qiu Xi struggled to stand, seemingly wanting to join the search for Divine Phoenix’s whereabouts.
But.
Before standing, she noticed a huge shadow looming over her.
Looking up, Lan Zhengqing stood beside her, gazing down with an imperial gaze.
"Lan Shao..."
"Qiu Xi, I feel you are different."
Lan Zhengqing didn’t mean to assist Qiu Xi but pulled a chair close, sitting beside her, his eyes sharp like a hawk, glinting with viciousness.
Seeing Lan Zhengqing’s expression, Qiu Xi’s heart skipped nervously, "Lan Shao... I have... how am I different..."
Lan Zhengqing was silent for a moment.
Suddenly!
He unexpectedly said three words!
"You’ve changed."
These three words made Qiu Xi’s hair stand on end, her spine chilling.
Sweat instantly beaded on her forehead.
Her body tensed tightly!
