Chapter 272: Wangbai's Resolve
Crackle, crackle…
A crimson fire blazed in the marketplace of Milin Prefecture, its flames dancing along the eaves, emitting the smell of burning wood. Blood flowed and dripped all over the ground and bodies lay strewn haphazardly at the street corners.
Fei Wangbai stood quietly with his hands clasped behind his back.
Among the guest cultivators he had brought, one had perished, and they had already taken care of the body. However, Fei Wangbai felt no sorrow. This assault on Milin Prefecture's marketplace had resulted in an abundance of spirit items and dharma artifacts for him, so much so that his storage pouches could not even contain them all. In fact, Fei Wangbai was so overjoyed that he almost laughed out loud. While the Li and Yu families fought, it was the Fei Family that reaped the greatest benefits.
Fei Wangbai scuffed his boots against the ground, feeling immensely proud of himself. Even the bright red blood staining the ground seemed celebratory. As he took a few steps forward, he saw a middle-aged man standing mid-air, arranging the bodies in a way to prevent them from being consumed by the fire.
"Brother Jiang," Fei Wangbai called out, seeing Jiang Heqian's somber expression.
Jiang Heqian then turned and responded slowly, "They are still relatives… Let not the fire burn them. The Yu Family will handle the burial."
Fei Wangbai remained silent. Jiang Heqian, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, took only a few breaths to handle these minor tasks. Fei Wangbai then cupped his fist after some time and said, "Brother Heqian, you have done a great service. We should share the spoils from this marketplace."
Jiang Heqian's mind was occupied with the memory of Yu Xiao'ou's final gentle pats on his wrist. The old man's hand had been scorching, making Jiang Heqian's limbs tingle and his soul feel disjointed.
