Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1662: Chapter 964: Establishing New Rules (Part 3)

Yang Xiao’s eyes were cold as he surveyed the crowd, "You’d better bury those inhuman little thoughts deep in your hearts. If I find out, I’ll carve open your chests and extract your hearts to wash them clean."

Faced with Yang Xiao’s threat, everyone remained silent. After all, now that they’re here, they have no choice but to comply; they’ve witnessed his methods.

"I have something to say." The night watchman suddenly spoke up.

"Go ahead, I’m a very democratic person." Yang Xiao placed his hands behind his back, calmly looking at him.

"Wu Qingcang once promised us that if we worked hard and redeemed ourselves, one day we’d be released, sent to the Myanmar-Tai Black Triangle. Of course, the condition was that we would never return to the country." The night watchman, under pressure, voiced everyone’s thoughts; what everyone desires most is freedom, and no one wants to be a prisoner for life.

Yang Xiao furrowed his brows; he hadn’t heard Wu Qingcang say this before. It seems this guy is untrustworthy; clearly, he’s just drawing a pie for these people.

Of course, Wu Qingcang wouldn’t break his word. Yang Xiao believed he intended to send these people to the Myanmar-Tai Black Triangle, but he reckoned it wouldn’t be for release; more likely, they’d be directly sent to the Esoteric Sect’s alchemy furnace.

Wu Qingcang reiterated about these people; they are not brothers, merely tools. The sins committed by each of them are enough to warrant them dying ten times over; the Patrol Defense Office not torturing them was already the greatest mercy.

But now Yang Xiao must show them some attitude, or the military spirit will dissipate.

"Wu Qingcang’s intention is also my intention. As long as you meet the conditions, I will, on behalf of the Patrol Defense Office, pardon you and send you out of the country." Yang Xiao said.

"Then... what’s the condition?" The Trickster asked sharply, "How many tasks need to be completed, or what level of merit accumulated?"

"Successfully complete ten tasks, and I will grant you freedom." Yang Xiao spoke, "If you find this condition too harsh, there’s a second option: every three months, you can exchange accumulated merit points for a chance to challenge me. If you win, you can leave immediately, and I will not break my word."

"Win against you?" Everyone’s expressions turned to despair.

"Of course, the condition is somewhat harsh. How about this: you can team up, two against one, and if you win, I’ll send those two people out of the country. In a one-on-one, if you can withstand twenty moves without defeat, that’s considered passing." Yang Xiao said generously.

"Ming Emperor, can you be responsible for what you say?" The night watchman was a straightforward man, daring to act, daring to question. freёwebnovel.com

"Yes, we’re working for you; I estimate these tasks aren’t exactly respectable, right? Can you... truly let us leave alive?" The Butterfly Lady asked with courage. They were evil cultivators, it’s true, but they’re not fools. The Patrol Defense Office has stood firm in the martial arts world for decades, not just because of fairness and justice; there’s a deep underwater current.

Yang Xiao smiled silently, and in the next second, he instantly teleported behind the Butcher, drew the Human Bone Staff, and struck the back of the Butcher’s head. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Instantly, the Butcher, who was once wailing and begging for mercy, changed; his expression became blank, drool dripped from his mouth, his eyes vacant, as if he had returned to childhood.

"It’s a Spiritual Magical Artifact!" Someone present recognized at a glance that the harm was caused by a spiritual attack.

Yang Xiao lightly weighed the Human Bone Staff in his hand, his gaze sweeping the crowd, "Yes, it’s a Spiritual Magical Artifact. This artifact can not only turn a person into a fool, but also erase their recent memory."

"Your concerns are legitimate, but we’re prepared. Before letting you leave, you’ll need to leave behind the memories of this period. Is this condition... unreasonable?"

"It’s not unreasonable; this way, it’s good for everyone. Captain, from now on, whatever you say, I’ll do." The night watchman expressed his stance first.
