Chapter 286 The Hemp Rope Is Broken At The Fine Point

No wonder there are reactions in the spiritual perception that are unlike those of living beings.

Chu Shen sighed and used a gust of wind to kill the creature that seemed to be from the demon race.

The opponent was already dead, but it was unclear who had tampered with this demon corpse, allowing it to absorb evil energy. Unfortunately, many people have died unjustly in this black shop, and the Yin energy is heavy. It seems to have some strange reaction with the opponent's demonic power, causing it to undergo corpse transformation and become a type of undead creature.

It would be better to eliminate this evil creature as soon as possible.

However, now he felt that there was something suspicious about this black shop. How could there be such an evil creature here? It seems like it was intentionally kept!

Unfortunately, he killed the thugs in the shop a bit too early, so there are no survivors to ask now.

"Forget it, it's just a small monster. It can't make much of an impact. Even if someone deliberately raised it, it wouldn't be the work of some evil cult."

He temporarily put aside the things he couldn't figure out and saw a familiar face among the survivors.

"Juanniang? What are you doing here?"

The underground secret room was already pitch black, and now it was nighttime outside. The candlelight in the black shop was dim, and the 24 survivors in the underground secret room had never been able to see Chu Shen's appearance. They also didn't know what had happened, how even the ceiling had collapsed, and they were huddled in the corner trembling in fear.

At this moment, the woman holding a child among the survivors suddenly heard her own name and immediately froze. After a moment of recollection, she immediately recognized a familiar figure.

"Chu, Chu guest?"

Chu Shen was using a fake name while staying at the Ping'an Inn, but his surname remained the same. Juanniang was deeply impressed by him and immediately called out in response.

Chu Shen sighed, "That's right, it's me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a soft ball of light formed in his hand, like bright moonlight, piercing through the darkness here. The thousand survivors who had been imprisoned in the darkness for a long time squinted their eyes slightly and gradually adjusted. They also saw the appearance of the person who had arrived.

Most people immediately realized that they seemed to have been saved and showed expressions of anticipation and unease. Many people also secretly glanced at Juanniang, who was talking to Chu Shen.

Juanniang, with a worried and hesitant attitude, asked, "Chu guest, are we... saved?"

Chu Shen looked at her and the expressions of the others, still with the lingering smell of blood and stench from the underground slaughterhouse, and sighed, "Although it's a coincidence, you have indeed been saved."

Suddenly, many people felt relieved and started crying.

The people imprisoned on the second underground floor were mostly young women. Naturally, they didn't go out alone but with their families and loved ones. But now they had survived while their families and loved ones were not here, clearly having been killed.

In addition, the fact that they were able to survive was not because the bandits suddenly had a change of heart, but because young women were extremely valuable resources to the bandits. They were not only playthings to amuse themselves with, boost morale, and pass the time, but also goods that could be sold.

It can be said that these surviving women, in a certain sense, were in a more miserable situation than their deceased family members.

Upon learning that they had been saved at this moment, various emotions naturally surged in their hearts, and it was difficult to hold back their tears.

Chu Shen sighed and said, "I understand your feelings. After everyone has cried for a while and the crying subsides, let's go upstairs. I have already dealt with all the black market thugs, so there is no danger here."

Upon hearing this, the women followed him, holding the light orbs he was carrying, and tearfully made their way upstairs. When they saw the underground floor resembling a slaughterhouse, they cried again out of fear.

Especially for those who saw their family and loved ones' bodies treated like smoked meat, unable to even obtain a complete corpse, they were both afraid and sorrowful, crying in a pitiful manner.

In the midst of Chu Shen's sigh, he waved his sleeve and the flames of spiritual power instantly cleansed this terrifying and bloody space. "There is no need for all of you to be overly sad. The physical body is just a temporary vessel in this sea of suffering. Once it has returned to its end, it will turn to dust. Only those who are still alive in this world are the ones who carry the burden of your deceased loved ones. I will personally help the innocent departed souls find liberation from this filthy place. You must also gather your spirits and face the future of your lives."

His methods still had a somewhat intimidating effect on ordinary people. Seeing this, the crowd felt slightly reassured, although there were still some sobs, it was not as loud as before.

However, when it came to practical issues, these women became sorrowful again. Without the care of their family and loved ones, they had no idea how to survive in this chaotic time. Even though they were saved by Chu Shen today, what about tomorrow?

Moreover, many of the surviving women here have been defiled by the thugs. Even if they still have family and loved ones alive, they would probably not be welcomed if they sought refuge. If their family members were ruthless, they might just marry them off to anyone, and the worst-case scenario would be being sent to a nunnery or a similar place to sever ties and avoid tarnishing the family's reputation...

Worried about this, Chu Shen came to the surface and informed everyone that the thugs had been completely wiped out, so there was no need to worry about safety. They could freely occupy the various rooms and use the supplies from the black market. After that, he walked outside and began to arrange the ritual for liberating the souls.

The black market had caused too much harm, with vengeful spirits lingering around, turning this place into a man-made necropolis. Although he didn't know who was raising the monster corpse here, it was clear that if left unattended, this place would become a place of disaster.

Although he had no intention of being a savior, he didn't mind taking care of a source of trouble. Besides, this could also be considered a good deed. The light of his merit was still somewhat weak, so gaining more merit could be seen as heaven's protection. Why not do it?

And within the black market, after the surviving witnesses had stabilized their minds after witnessing his miraculous abilities, most of them had some different thoughts.

Someone noticed that Juanniang and Chu Shen seemed to be acquainted, so they secretly approached and asked, "Miss Juanniang, do you have a history with this immortal?"

Juanniang was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

The woman became overjoyed and said, "That's great, Juanniang. Can you please talk to this immortal and offer shelter to us poor people? Even if we have to work like cattle and horses, be slaves and maids, we are willing!"

Juanniang quickly shook her head and said, "Don't put me in danger. Although I have some past connection with Mr. Chu, it was only because he once stayed at my inn. Moreover, he has helped my family before and now he has saved me and my child's life. How can I dare to make difficult requests?"

The woman hurriedly said, "We understand that Mr. Chu is a divine immortal. We are just desperate and have no other options. Please just mention it to him. If he agrees, it would be our good fortune. If he doesn't, how can we force him?"

After glancing at the surviving people around her, she sighed and said sadly, "Furthermore, we are not ignorant people. Apart from you and Wan Ye, who have outstanding appearances and are considered valuable goods by those bandits, prepared to be sold to wealthy people, we have all become withered flowers and fallen willows. How can we dare to think of attaching ourselves to an immortal?"

"We are just seeking a way to survive, hoping for the mercy of the immortal."

Upon hearing this, Juanniang exchanged a glance with the woman named Wan Ye, her expression filled with sadness.

Although she now had a child, her appearance was outstanding, and some people even liked her for that. Wan Ye, on the other hand, was a beautiful virgin. Therefore, even though they had fallen into the den of thieves, those bandits did not touch them, considering it their good fortune.

But the other women were not as fortunate as them. These days, they had witnessed firsthand the kind of life these women were living.

Although they were temporarily safe now, when they thought about the future, these women truly had no good path to take.

Though timid, Juanniang, who was ultimately kind-hearted, thought that she should mention it to Chu Shen... it should be fine, right?
