Chapter 24 Sorry, I don’t want to be a bystander!
Xiao opened his eyes and looked around the village again.

One shocking scene after another, one bloody tragedy after another, appeared in Xiao's eyes.

suddenly.

There were some unusual movements in the cowshed not far away.

Upon realizing that there were still living villagers, Xiao immediately jumped off the roof and walked to the cowshed in three or two steps.

Gently push open the bullpen.

The scene before him once again startled Xiao.

She was an ordinary peasant woman in the village.

Thinking back to when I first woke up in this world not long ago, the first local person who caught my eye was her.

Although he didn't know her name, Xiao still had a deep impression of this person he met for the first time.

At this moment, she was holding a baby who was less than three days old.

The baby had already died, the cause of death being strangled to death by someone grabbing his throat!

At this time, the peasant woman was humming a lullaby softly, her voice was mournful and sad.

The peasant woman had empty eyes, was naked, and had bruises all over her body.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of abuse she had suffered before!
At this moment, she had already lost her mind and instinctively held the child in her arms.

Blood was gushing out of her mouth and nose, and her breath was so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.

Sudden.

The peasant woman's body was shaking like a mountain.

Xiao quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands, trying to support her.

however.

What came into view was another shocking scene.

It turned out that two sharp, shiny knives had already pierced into the peasant woman's back, cutting off her heart veins and destroying all her life.

It's a complete miracle that she is still alive today.

Perhaps it was her obsession as a mother that kept her holding on.

However, when she found her child, there was already a cold corpse in the cradle.

Even Xiao, who is not worldly-wise, could feel firsthand how desperate she must have been at that time.
boom--!
The peasant woman's body fell to the ground at Xiao's feet. The blood lingered for a long time, staining the three-foot-long mud red.

Until now.

Gan Yu, Gu Yuena and others had just rushed over. The scene before them also made them feel shocked and angry!
At this time, Qiqi threw away the coconut she had just picked and knelt down beside the peasant woman.

She tried her best to save the peasant woman's fate with her magical powers, but in the end it was in vain...

Qiqi didn't cry, but her body couldn't stop shaking slightly. The despair in her eyes was almost heartbreaking.

Xiao looked thoughtful and turned to Ganyu beside him.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"The Emperor once said that the guardian Yakshas only need to slay demons, purify evil spirits, and protect a region, and they do not need to interfere in human affairs."

"For thousands of years, I have strictly followed the rules and never interfered in the affairs of the world!"

"But today..."

"I have witnessed injustice with my own eyes! Should I also follow the old ways and turn a blind eye?"

Xiao's voice was still as cold as ever, but it was no longer possible to calm down.

"I have no idea."

Ganyu lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say.

At this time, in a foreign land, Ganyu's reason told her that the best option was to stand aside and watch.

But obviously, she couldn't do it either.

Biting her lips lightly, Ganyu chose to remain silent.

Xiao lowered his gaze and looked at the corpse and two lives at his feet. Without any hesitation, Xiao made a decision immediately.

"Sorry, I can't just stand by and watch!"

"I only know that if we don't kill all the bad guys, then innocent good people will be harmed!"

Say it.

Xiao turned around and strode out of the bullpen.

"Qiang——!"

A clear sound of a sharp arrow was heard, and the Hepu Yuan was already in his hand.

next second.

Xiao has already walked away!

at the same time.

On the boundless sea, a huge three-masted sailing ship was sailing through the waves with its sails hoisted.

"What bad luck!"

On the deck of the sailboat, a tall and thin cardinal was bending over, washing his hands over and over again.

"Your Holiness the Pope is really something! They are just a bunch of ants without soul power. Why do we need to take action?"

"Look! I feel like these hands can no longer be washed clean."

Hearing the cardinal's complaint, several nearby cardinals couldn't help but sneer.

"Charles, stop pretending!"

"At that time, you were the one who killed the most happily! Even a newborn baby couldn't escape your clutches..."

Hearing this, the bishop named Charles retorted indignantly:
"Dai Hongbin! Can you speak with your broken mouth?"

"What do you mean by 'devil's claws'? Do you think I am happy to do this?!"

"If it wasn't for the Pope's order, would I have dirty my hands for this bunch of low-class people? I was even splashed with blood by that bitch. How unlucky!"

Seeing Charles's awkward look, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At this time.

A short and stocky middle-aged man stretched out his hand and patted the bishop named Dai Hongbin.

"That's right, Old Dai!"

"I heard that your eldest nephew is engaged to the Zhu family? I heard that the girl in the Zhu family is very pretty!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Hongbin nodded thoughtfully.

"Haha, Mr. Meng, you are well-informed. This is indeed the case!"

"My eldest nephew, the eldest prince of Xingluo Country, Davis, announced his engagement with the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuyun, three days ago."

"However, the formal engagement party will be held in fifteen days."

"When the time comes, you old guys have to come and show your support!"

For a moment, several cardinals were chatting and laughing.

Charles even put his arm around Dai Hongbin's shoulders and couldn't help but tease him:

"Haha~ You old fellow! You gave up your job as a vassal king and came to our Spirit Hall... to be a cardinal. It's such a waste of your good family background!"

Dai Hongbin laughed heartily upon hearing this and shook his head:
"How can a small prince compare to the power of a cardinal?"

"Look, no matter if it's a provincial capital, a vassal state, or even the Xingluo Imperial City, no matter if it's a vassal king, a wise king, a prince, or even the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, when they meet us bishops, don't they have to serve us respectfully?"

Charles frowned and sighed helplessly.

“That’s true!”

"But we are only glorious on the surface. In fact, we are just old dogs who obey the orders of His Holiness the Pope!"

Hear this.

Dai Hongbin's expression became more agitated and he became even more excited.

"Hey! Isn't it nice to be a dog for His Holiness the Pope?"

"It would be worth dying for me to see the glory of His Holiness the Pope..."

Hearing this, the bishops laughed again.

"Ha ha!"

"You are such a good-for-nothing! But you hit the nail on the head, haha!"

Just as everyone was teasing each other.

Sudden.

A dark blue gust of wind swept in like a thousand horses galloping, causing the three-masted sailing ship to shake.

The bishops stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"It was a nice day, why did a strong wind suddenly blow?"

"This breath..."

"not good!"

"There is an enemy attack!"

"Where? Where?!"

Just when everyone was panicking, Xiao pointed the jade spear and quietly dropped it on the crossbar of the mainmast.

A cold word fell from the sky and reached the ears of everyone present:

"Those who indiscriminately kill innocent people, abuse and kill civilians, and harm women and children should be executed!"
