But the refugees continued to stand at the side, choosing to remain silent, averting their gaze one by one to hide their eyes, unable to watch on.
“Let go of my mother! You bad man! Let go of my mother!” When the young and innocent child saw his mother being bullied, he pounced onto the thug as if gone mad to bite the man on his arm, the pain causing the thug to immediately release his grip.
“Damn it! You brat! You dare to bite me! Men! I want that kid beaten to death right here and that woman to be sold to the brothel! All of you people here listen up and hear me good! If you do not pay up what you owe today, none of you will be able to live in peace!” The thug hollered loudly in rage.
Several of the burly men behind the leader then immediately leapt towards the poor mother and child!
However, just at the moment that those men were about to grab the mother and child, a figure suddenly flashed quick as lightning to appear right in front of them, a freak streak of light that flashed past! The men who had leapt forward were all sent flying backwards by a powerful force in an instant!

Chapter 1438: “Courting Death (4)”
“Who’s that! ?” The leader of the thugs saw before his eyes his companions being sent flying and his eyes immediately stared at the newcomer!
Right before the mother and child pair who were hugging each other, a small figure stood proudly straight!
It was a youth with a delicately attractive face. Dressed in simple and coarse hemp clothes, he looked unremarkable, but for that pair of eyes that sent chills right into one’s bones!
Cold but clear as water!
The thug stared in confusion at the youth who had appeared all of a sudden, gauging the person’s appearance. Seeing that he was dressed in crude clothes, he assumed that that was just a refugee staying there.
“From where did you this bastard kid sprout out from! ? You must be tired of living! How dare you disrupt my fun! Do you believe I can make you scamper out of here any minute! Damn it!”
Jun Wu Xie stared coldly at the man shouting noisily, her chilling gaze slowly sweeping over the figure of the child who had lost her voice from crying and the old lady crumpled upon the ground behind the thug. That pair of cold and icy eyes then surged with murder.
“Little bastard kid! Your lord am talking to you here! Do your damned ears hear me! ?” The thug shouted as he glared at Jun Wu Xie. Seeing that it was just a skinny and weak looking youth, his demeanor became even more arrogant!
“I beg you….. Save us….. Please save us…..” The woman who had fallen to the ground behind Jun Wu Xie sobbed as she hugged her child tightly, begging as she gazed upon Jun Wu Xie’s back. Even though she knew that it was just a young youth who stood before her eyes, she had no other way out of this.
Jun Wu Xie did not turn around but merely narrowed her eyes as she stared at the ferocious looking thug.
“Damn you! Have that kid slaughtered for me! I want to see who else would still dare to stir up any more trouble!” The thug shouted viciously, and the towering men immediately leapt at the small sized Jun Wu Xie.
However, everything that happened after that made every fall into a state of shock!
Before any of the men who were leaping towards Jun Wu Xie could even get near her, several streaks of purple coloured spirit light shot out from Jun Wu Xie’s hand. The purple coloured spirit light morphed into several sharp blades in the air to immediately pierce through the heart meridians of the towering men!
Suddenly, five brawny men lay lifelessly upon the ground, a scarlet flower the colour of blood blooming upon their chests!
In just the time it took to blink, five strong and well built men had lost their lives. The thug who had initially been highly arrogant stared in a wide mouth stare as he looked at the scene before his eyes. What astounded him even further was that around Jun Wu Xie’s body, was the brilliant glow of the Purple Spirit!
[A Purple Spirit!]
[This half grown little pipsqueak actually possesses the legendary Purple Spirit!]
[How can that be possible! ?]
The thug’s backbone then suddenly seemed to have been pulled out of him as the arrogance upon his face instantly crumbled!
The fearful refugees at the side were all staring with their mouths hanging wide open, as they saw the Purple Spirit glow swirling around Jun Wu Xie’s body, completely unable to believe what they were seeing before them!
That the Purple Spirit that had been extinct for the past hundred years would actually manifest once again right before their eyes!
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up slightly, not even giving the bodies lying within their own pools of blood a single glance. The thick foul stench of blood spread into the surrounding air, the smell inciting the fiery rage burning inside her chest to burn fiercer!
“Who….. Who are you actually…..” The thug was flustered. Beat him to death and he would never have thought that this frail and weak looking youth would actually be a Purple Spirit that only existed in legends. All the arrogance and complacency from before were completely burned into ashes under the light of the Purple Spirit!

I’ll steal Hua Yao and send him onto your couch! To be used as you wish! Pleading for monthly tickets! (Qiao Chu: That whahizname! You come right over here! I want to talk to you about my life!)]

Chapter 1439: “Courting Death (5)”
Jun Wu Xie lifted her chin slightly as she stared at the thug: “You came all the way here to stir up trouble and you do not know who I am?”
The vicious thug gulped loudly as he looked at Jun Wu Xie’s appearance, his mind suddenly remembering that the person who initially bought these manors had exactly been a young youth with such delicate features!
“It’s you! You are the person who bought this whole place! !” The thug exclaimed in shocked realization.
The thug’s loud exclamation made all the refugees stare completely stunned at the young Jun Wu Xie. They had already been staying here for a few days but still did not know who had so generously provided them with such a comfortable environment. They had once thought that it could have been the Lord of the City, or it might have been that “Great Benefactor”, but never once had they once considered the fact that the person responsible for providing them with all of this would actually be such a young little lad!
“Good.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up as she said. “In this way, you will at least die knowing it.” Jun Wu Xie’s words had barely just dropped when her figure disappeared from the spot she had been standing in an instant. The thug and his other companions wailed out in pure terror and immediately picked up their legs to run with complete abandonment!
However, they already did not stand a single chance of escaping anymore!
The figure of Jun Wu Xie was just like a purple streak form of the devil, descending upon them all at the speed of lightning that shot through the group of ruffians who were attempting to escape!
The purple glowing streak brought about ruin everywhere it flashed, blood spurting forth where it passed!
More than ten towering sized thugs lay in their own pools of blood in a blink, all of them not knowing what had befallen upon them even till the point of death, their last breath already gone from their bodies by the time they hit the ground!
The bright red blood turned a large area of the ground a garish shade of scarlet, the suffocating stench causing the refugees to clutch at their abdomen as their stomachs churned, nauseating them.
Suddenly, among the many pools of blood, only that highly arrogant lead thug was left, his legs having been cut out from under him without even him knowing! With the loss of support of his legs, he lay howling in his own pool of blood, his eyes staring wide with absolute horror at the lifeless bodies of his companions, seemingly turned bri
ght red from the very reflection of their blood!
A pair of legs slowly came into his view before his eyes, to stop at a mere half inch away from the tip of his nose.
Jun Wu Xie used the tip of her shoe to lift up the chin of the thug, forcing him to lift his deathly pale face to look up at her chilly countenance.
“This place belongs to me, and if anyone wishes to commit any atrocities upon this place, I wouldn’t mind sending them on their way to Hell.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice was soft, but the piercing chill within those words made him shiver uncontrollably in that heat.
Those words were spoken in such a soft tone, but they were driven deep right into his very bones, causing the warmth in every drop of his blood to slowly dissipate.
“Spare me….. Spare me….. I will never dare do it again….. Never ever again…..” The excruciating pain and utter despair was causing the thug to tremble uncontrollably, looking like a dog as he lay, a limp pile within a pool of his own blood, not a sliver of the earlier arrogance upon his face, but just the fear of impending death.
“Too late.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes flashed with a glint of murder, the tip of her foot turning the thug’s head with great force, snapping the thug’s neck off with a kick!
In just mere moments, the thugs who committed all kinds of nefarious deeds had all stopped breathing. From beginning to end, they had not been able to put up the slightest bit of defence against Jun Wu Xie at all.
Their lives before Jun Wu Xie’s eyes, became like dust that could be wiped off in an instant, so fragile and brittle, unable to withstand the slightest knock.
The air was filled with that suffocating stench of blood, the refugees witnessing death right before their eyes. That was the first time everyone of them were seeing the overwhelming might of the Purple Spirit, that unsurpassably oppressive power, causing all of them to shiver at the mere sight of it!
Volume 15
Chapter 1440: “Courting Death (6)”
This here, is the Purple Spirit!
Reigning supreme above everyone, a most powerful entity at the very pinnacle of the golden pyramid!
The refugees were gathered all around, squeezed tightly against each other, but they were all completely silent, without a single peep coming out from them.
They stared at the dead bodies lying upon the ground, and their backs became drenched with sweat. The chill in their bones still cold deep within their bones, the sight of the bloody massacre that happened before their eyes still gripping their hearts in a tight hold.
Jun Wu Xie stepped through the garishly red blood, her steps taking her to come beside the old lady who had already fainted into unconsciousness. Every step she took left another bright red bloody footprint on the ground, when linked up, looked just like a manifestation of the chains of death.
The child lying upon the old lady was sobbing so hard she was gasping for breath as she raised her head up to look at Jun Wu Xie, with eyes overflowing with tears that were not showing the slightest sliver of fear or unease but were instead filled with gratitude.
The thinking of children as young as that were the purest and most untainted. She only knew that the big brother in front of her had helped kill those people who bullied her grandmother and was hence their benefactor!
Jun Wu Xie squatted herself down and checked on the old woman’s condition. After ascertaining that her life was not at risk, she clapped her palms together and a shadow darted out from a corner.
“Give her this medicine and sent her back to rest.” Jun Wu Xie said as she gave Ye Sha a bottle of elixirs.
Ye Sha took the bottle without a word and carried up the old woman upon his back before sending her up inside the lofts.
Jun Wu Xie got up, the murder already faded out of her eyes. But her gaze was still chilly, covered with a layer of frost as it slowly swung over the group of stunned refugees gathered at the side where she suddenly opened her mouth to say: “What happened today, I will only allow it to happen only once. I provided all of you with this place not to keep a bunch of trash who would just stand by and watch things like this happen without lifting a finger to help. If even you yourselves do not have the courage to defend your companions here, then the whole lot of you can very well crawl back to your hovel of a refugee camp! This place does not welcome such craven cowards!”
Powerful enemies weren’t that frightening, what was really scary would be when one did not even possess the courage to fight that enemy!
The lofts were by now accommodating close to a thousand refugees and even if they were just people made up of the elderly and weak women and children, if they had had the courage to rise up together as one body, those ten over ferocious thugs would not have stood a chance against all of them.
With close to a thousand people in number, even with every one of them just throwing a single rock each, they would have stoned the ten over thugs to death. But they had not had the courage, but just stood at the side quietly as they became numbed by fear, to watch on as their companions were being viciously abused!
Jun Wu Xie absolutely despised craven cowards like this. A person can be weak, but the heart must not be!
Jun Wu Xie’s words, struck like a great bolt of lightning upon all their hearts. They all stood staring at the sobbing child, looking at the mother and child pair hugging each other still overwhelmed with fear.
The woman’s heart rending scream for help earlier replayed with everyone’s mind at that moment, the water from a spring of guilt washing over their dust covered conscience hidden deep within.
Their heads hung ashamedly from the powerful guilt, their eyes filled with regret. Today, when that grandmother with her grandchild and the mother and son duo had been bullied, they had all chosen to not help, keeping their hands within their sleeves. But if the day came and a similar thing happened to them, how helpless and what kind of despair would they then feel?
“Thank you….. Thank you…..” The woman who had very nearly been victimised by the thugs clutched at her child and knelt upon the ground to thank Jun Wu Xie incessantly. If not for Jun Wu Xie’s timely intervention, she and her son might very well have lost their lives here today!
Jun Wu Xie glanced briefly at them once and then turned to depart. The woman and child pair remained kneeling on the ground, unwilling to get up until Jun Wu Xie went inside that loft unit that stood independant from the others. Only then, did the woman stood up still trembling as she carried her child, the eyes that had turned red from crying sweeping over the moreosely silent crowd of refugees, filled with hate.

Chapter 1441: “Knocking on Death’s Door Again (1)”
The City Lord was sipping on a new batch of tea he had acquired as his lovely spouse knelt by his feet to massage his legs, looking highly relaxed and leisurely.
But not a few moments had passed when a servant in the City Lord’s Manor came running inside in a rush, his face ashen as he fell to his knees with a thud before the City Lord.
“What has gotten you in such a fluster. Where are your manners?” The City Lord grumbled in displeasure with a frown upon his face as he lifted up his cup of tea.
“My Lord! There’s trouble! !” The servant exclaimed loudly.
“Trouble? The Clear Breeze City has always been steadily peaceful. What could happen here?” The City Lord said nonchalantly.
“Liu Er….. Liu Er still has not come back…..”
The City Lord’s brows creased up. Liu Er was a hired thug he kept by his side in the manor. Under the instructions of the revered one, the City Lord had always worked hard to portray an image of righteousness for himself and all his underhanded deeds were left in Liu Er’s hands to deal with. He had asked Liu Er to go up to the city’s north today to stir up trouble in those lofts.
“He has not returned? This lazybones Liu Er is starting to slack off on his tasks.” The City Lord said in a displeased tone.
However, the servant replied: “It’s not that….. Your servant sent someon
e up to the city’s north to take a look and he heard that Liu Er and his men had all been killed up there!”
A crash sounded. The teacup in the City Lord’s hand had dropped to the ground, breaking into pieces. His eyes flared wide as he stared at the servant, his eyes highly incredulous.
“What did you just say? Who could have killed Liu Er! ?”
“Your servant does not know, but only heard that the entire gang of people Liu Er brought with him up to the city’s north were all killed but no one seems to know who the person who did it was.”
“A useless good for nothing!” The City Lord stood up with a swoosh. Liu Er had helped him complete quite a number of tasks and although he was a person that was a little of a braggart, he was rather nimble minded and knew how to use the stick and carrot approach rather well, never having ever committed any big mistakes. He would never ever have thought that by asking Liu Er to make life difficult for those useless refugees up in the city’s north and driving those parasites out of that place, Liu Er would end up being killed by people for no reason!
What was even more terrifying was that his people had not even been able to find out the culprit responsible for it!
“What exactly happened! ? Have the entire bunch of you been living in vain? There were more than ten lives lost! How could those lives have been taken without a single person knowing anything about it! ?” The City Lord’s face had turned an ugly shade. He had thought that the issue up in the city’s north could be dealt with easily and he had even instructed the shop to release news about the availability of loft units that would be put up for sale.
But after just barely half a day had passed and things had taken a turn beyond anything he could have expected!
The servant got a severe dressing down and he replied in a mournful voice: “I have already gotten people to infiltrate into the place to try to find out the truth behind Liu Er’s death from the refugees there, but god knows what happened with those people! They had initially looked like they could be easily manipulated but when the mere mention of the incident was brought up, every single one of them avoided the matter like a plague, unwilling to say a word about it and we were unable to find out anything from them.”
