Chapter 492 - 260: Making Full Use of Magic, Who is He Looking For?_2
The heavy taxation was the least of their worries.
Some of the more attractive women in the city had been abducted by disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
To survive, people were forced to sell their sons and pawn off their daughters just to have food to eat.
But the defeat and retreat of the Great Freedom Demon Sect brought an even greater calamity upon them.
The Demon Sect disciples who could flee had fled, while those who reckoned they couldn’t escape became even more brutal and insane.
Some cultivators with certain abilities simply used these mortals to refine treasures, hoping to gain some life-saving techniques.
Those without cultivation skills didn’t hesitate to kill either, and the souls who perished by their hands were far too numerous.
Yan Wushuang’s heart was heavy, but he found himself without a solution and could only silently think to himself—things might get better after the Great Freedom Demon Sect’s departure.
He didn’t see any Immortal Sect disciples in the city, but he did encounter several hidden Demon Sect members, and with a flicker of his sword light, he put an end to them.
He left the city without caring about the townspeople; the fields outside the city lay fallow with no one to work them.
