I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2115 Liu Jun's Kindness
Liu Jun turned his head, his eyes were cold, like a bottomless pool of cold water. He glanced at Xu Baoer, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Amo.

"Amo, do you know anyone here? Ask them to come out and correct me." Liu Jun said.

Ah Mo's body trembled involuntarily when she heard Liu Jun's words. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Liu Jun's eyes, and replied weakly, "Yes, I know someone, he's in the cell."

Liu Jun nodded, raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force instantly opened all the cell doors. The heavy iron doors made a harsh friction sound in the air, as if announcing some kind of turning point in fate.

Ah Mo took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk into the cell. She brought out several dirty and disheveled boys and girls who were about her age.

The eyes of these people were filled with fear and despair, as if they had lost hope of living.

Xu Baoer looked at the people who were brought out, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She walked forward and asked softly, "Do you know who here has eaten or killed people?"

One of the boys raised his head, with fear on his face and a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he finally shook his head and whispered: "We don't know anything, we are just locked up here and do nothing."

Liu Jun frowned slightly, his eyes were like knives, and he swept coldly over the ragged and frightened people in front of him. Obviously, he was not satisfied with their answers. There was a suppressed tension in the air, as if some unpredictable danger would erupt in the next second.

Seeing this, Xu Baoer's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to block Liu Jun. She lowered her voice and pleaded, "Brother, don't be anxious, give them another chance. Maybe they really don't know anything."

There was a trace of worry in her eyes, fearing that Liu Jun would also kill these innocent people. She knew Liu Jun's temper very well. Once he made up his mind about something, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.

Liu Jun was silent for a moment, his eyes lingering on Xu Baoer's face for a few seconds, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he nodded, and the coldness on his face eased a little. With a wave of his hand, he took out a large pile of food and some spare clothes from the storage space. Although these supplies may not be suitable for the people in front of him, they are definitely much better than the rags they are wearing.

The reason why Liu Jun was dissatisfied was not because these people did not provide the information he wanted, but because they were so scared that they did not even have the courage to come out and point out the mistakes.

He felt a little disappointed and even a little angry. In his opinion, these people had the opportunity to take revenge but gave up.

After seeing the food, a gleam of hope suddenly flashed in these people's eyes, and an excitement that was difficult to conceal appeared on their faces.

However, due to Liu Jun's intimidation, they dared not step forward and could only stand at a distance, swallowing their saliva. Their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were waiting for some kind of signal, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Xu Baoer felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She walked forward, gently picked up a bag of bread, and handed it to a thin boy who was closest to her.

A trace of gratitude flashed in the boy's eyes. He took the bread tremblingly and whispered "thank you".

Xu Baoer smiled slightly, patted his shoulder, and signaled him not to be afraid.

Liu Jun stood aside, watching all this with cold eyes. His eyes were still cold, but there was a ripple in his heart.

He didn't want to be a "devil" in the eyes of these people, but he also knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, being too kind often means weakness.

After this group of people had eaten and drunk their fill and put on the clothes given by Liu Jun, although their faces were still dirty, they all looked energetic, without any trace of the desperate and numb look they had when they were locked up in the cell and waiting for food.

"I'll ask you again, can you identify those people who killed and ate people in order to survive?" There was no fluctuation in Liu Jun's tone, as if he was asking about something very ordinary.

This group of people was much more active this time. After all, Liu Jun gave them food and clothes. They quickly identified all of Chen Yu's men. There was a hint of urgency in their voices, as if they were afraid that if they didn't identify them quickly or accurately enough, they would lose this rare opportunity. Their fingers trembled as they pointed at the villains who were once high and mighty but now were like dogs that had lost their homes.

When Chen Yu was recruiting his men, he clearly regarded killing and eating people as a token of his loyalty, so as long as they were his men, no one was innocent.

Chen Yu's coldness and cruelty have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In order to survive and gain his trust, his subordinates have committed many heinous crimes. Their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, and their stomachs are filled with the flesh and blood of their own kind.

Liu Jun was also a quick and efficient man. He didn't even wait for these people to beg for mercy and killed more than a hundred people in a flash.

Those once arrogant villains now fell in a pool of blood without even a scream. There was no trace of pity in Liu Jun's eyes, as if these people were just a part of daily life, and cleaning them out was just a matter of course. As for the remaining people in this dungeon, most of them were used as reserve food and were not qualified to eat humans. They all ate some messy things to fill their stomachs and barely survived starvation.

When these people saw Liu Jun killing again, they looked at him with horror. They quickly huddled in the corner, not daring to make any sound, fearing that they would become the next target.

Liu Jun's existence was both salvation and nightmare for them. He gave them food and clothes, but also made them witness what real killing was. Liu Jun's coldness and decisiveness made them both awed and terrified.

Standing in the center of the dungeon, Liu Jun's claws were still dripping with blood. He glanced at the survivors, but there was no ripple in his heart. He knew that human nature had long been distorted beyond recognition under the pressure of survival. All he could do was to clear out as many villains as possible who could not be saved and give these innocent people a chance to live.

Liu Jun looked back at the group of ragged, terrified people behind him, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "You are free and can move around freely. The ancient demons from outside the city have been cleared out."

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and fear. Although they knew that Liu Jun was powerful, and even witnessed how he killed more than a hundred of Chen Yu's men by himself, the terrifying image of those ancient demons had already been deeply imprinted in their minds.

The hideous faces, sharp claws, and piercing roars of the monsters as they devoured humans seemed to still echo in their ears. At this moment, although Liu Jun's words ignited a glimmer of hope in their hearts, fear still followed them like a shadow, making them dare not act rashly.

Seeing that everyone was still standing there with blank expressions, Liu Jun sighed in his heart. He understood that these people were frightened by the ancient demon from outside the domain and had become accustomed to being dominated by fear. Even if he told them that the danger was over, it would be difficult for them to immediately get rid of that deep-rooted fear.

But he didn't say anything more. After all, he chose his own path. He just patted Xu Baoer's shoulder gently, motioning her to follow him, then turned and walked out of the dungeon.

Xu Baoer followed closely behind Liu Jun, with a complicated look in her eyes. Although she was young, she had experienced a lot and was no longer the innocent girl. She knew that Liu Jun's actions were all out of goodwill and to save these innocent people. At the same time, she also knew how heavy the burden Liu Jun was carrying was.

Just as Liu Jun and Xu Baoer were about to disappear from everyone's sight, Ah Mo gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind to follow them. Her steps were a little hesitant, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

She was afraid of the ancient demon baby raised by Liu Jun. Although the little creature looked harmless, the strange aura it exuded always made her shudder. However, her trust in Liu Jun and Xu Baoer overcame her inner fear.

In her eyes, although Liu Jun was mysterious, had a strange temper and a scary appearance, he was always a trustworthy person. And Xu Baoer was one of the few people she could rely on in this chaotic world.

After the three of them left the dungeon, Liu Jun did not leave the city immediately. He stood on the city wall, looking over the dilapidated streets and ruins in the city, frowning slightly.

Although those ancient demons from outside the domain have been killed by him, their black energy still remains in the city. If it is not removed in time, the black energy will gradually erode the minds of ordinary people and may even give birth to new monsters.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. Rays of spiritual light flew out from his fingertips and turned into complex array runes, covering every corner of the city. As the array operated, the black air was gradually purified, and the air in the city became much fresher.

Xu Baoer stood aside, watching Liu Jun casting the spell silently. She knew that casting such a large formation covering an entire city would consume a lot of spiritual energy, but she did not stop Liu Jun because she understood that this was Liu Jun's choice.

After the formation was completed, Liu Jun's face became noticeably paler. He then let out a breath and turned to Xu Baoer and Amo and said, "Let's go. We should go to the next city."

Xu Baoer nodded, and Ah Mo followed the two silently. Her eyes swept across Liu Jun's back from time to time, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, but she knew that as long as she followed Liu Jun and Xu Baoer, she would have the courage to move forward.

The three of them set out on the journey to the next city. Behind them was the city that was gradually recovering, and ahead were unknown challenges and dangers.

Two days after Liu Jun and his companions left, the people in the dungeon finally could no longer suppress their fear and hunger, and tentatively walked out of the dark and damp dungeon.

Although the food left by Liu Jun temporarily relieved their hunger, the quantity was limited after all. As time went by, the food gradually ran out, and they faced an unprecedented survival crisis. The idea of ​​eating their own kind made them feel extremely disgusted and terrified, so they decided to venture out of the dungeon and look for other possible food sources.

When the door of the dungeon slowly opened, the sunlight shone through the crack of the door onto their pale faces, and the long-lost light made them unable to open their eyes for a while. However, when they adjusted to the light, the scene before them stunned them.

The black air that had been covering the entire ruins had disappeared without a trace. Although the once eerie buildings were still dilapidated, they were no longer the lifeless and suffocating appearance they were before. A fresh breath filled the air, as if the earth had regained its vitality.

All these changes were attributed to the large-scale formation that Liu Jun had set up before leaving. This formation not only completely cleared the black air that enveloped the ruins, but also temporarily gathered a large amount of spiritual energy in this area. The influx of spiritual energy brought new life to this originally barren land.
