Chapter 373:
Now that he understood the true nature of these small and medium-sized factions, he had to act with lightning speed and settle the matter. Delay only invited trouble.
To maintain the effect of the Heavenly Father Seal, killing was not an option. He needed an alternative that could achieve the same result. Forceful brainwashing through a Divine Method had become his solution.
Standing in the courtyard, he watched the interconnected inner rooms shudder and collapse, paying no mind to the chaos within. Instead, his gaze fell on the young man and woman who had just rushed out shouting.
“Who are you?”
At some point amid the turmoil, Chen Yunshi and Chen Yunlan had crawled over to Uncle Zhang’s corpse. They kept wiping away their tears with their sleeves, but at his question, they hurriedly got to their feet. One of them carefully supported the body while the other straightened her clothes and bowed deeply to Lin Hui.
“I am Chen Yunlan, from the eldest branch of the Chen family in Xidong. Thank you for saving our lives, sir!”
“Passersby?” Lin Hui caught her implication and lost interest. Ordinary people like them were merely incidental rescues; they had no other value to him. “You may leave now. It’s not safe to stay here.”
Chen Yunshi opened his mouth, but when he met the cold, calm gaze beneath Lin Hui’s mask, he swallowed his words. He only bowed again, turned, and quickly left the courtyard with his sister, supporting Uncle Zhang’s corpse between them.
Lin Hui shifted his gaze back to the sprawling inner rooms, now half collapsed. The androgynous figure in white he had just brainwashed seemed to possess formidable combat power. They had been fighting all this time without issue, and their aura remained vigorous. It was highly likely that this person was the leader here—the Pavilion Master of the Yin-Yang Pavilion.
