The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Looking at the sword tip so close at hand, fear surged into the portly man's heart once again.

"Don't...kill me..."

The portly man begged for mercy in a trembling voice, but Du Lanyin just stared at him.

After a while.

Du Lanyin put down her sword.

"Junior brother, you handle this."

The Xu family killed her parents so many years ago. Although it was the former butler who did it, and she had avenged herself by killing the butler herself, it didn't mean she didn't hate these people.

However, Du Lanyin remembered what Jiang Ning had said to the innkeeper earlier, and she thought Jiang Ning must have some ideas, so she decided to leave it to Jiang Ning to handle.

Upon hearing Du Lanyin's words, Jiang Ning remained silent, simply nodding slightly before standing up and walking towards the portly man.

Seeing Jiang Ning approaching, the portly man's heart, which had just settled, jumped again, and he quickly begged for mercy.

"Please, sir, don't kill me."

However, Jiang Ning did not make a move, but instead said...

"come out."

After saying that, Jiang Ning left the main hall.

The portly man wanted to ask, but dared not, and could only follow behind timidly.

"master."

The woman called out softly, but received no response.

"You all go out too."

At this moment, Du Lanyin's voice rang out. The woman saw her and flinched, then obediently followed her out.

The group followed Jiang Ning out of the Xu residence gate.

Jiang Ning remained silent after leaving the Xu residence.

"Great hero, where are we going?"

The well-to-do man couldn't help but ask a question.

Jiang Ning ignored him, but stopped.

"Kneel down, all of you."

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, everyone was stunned, but when they saw Jiang Ning's cold eyes, they couldn't help but kneel down, including the wealthy man.

Meanwhile, the area outside the Xu residence remained deserted, with few people around. However, the scene outside the Xu residence caused all passersby to stop and stare in astonishment, wondering why the Xu family, who were usually arrogant and domineering in Guyang County, were all kneeling outside.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around, and discussions began to simmer.

The Xu family members who were kneeling began to feel uncomfortable. Some wanted to get up, but dared not.

At this moment, they all knew that the young man next to them was highly skilled in martial arts and could take their lives at any time.

After some time, the crowd grew larger and larger. Jiang Ning saw that it was time and spoke up.

"I've heard that there's a family in your Guyang County that's committed all sorts of evil deeds."

As soon as Jiang Ning spoke, the crowd stopped their discussion and all looked at him.

Jiang Ning continued, "These are the people kneeling down right now."

“They usually bully men and women in Guyang County, committing all kinds of evil deeds and killing countless innocent people. My senior sister was also killed by them, and her family was destroyed.”

Jiang Ning's words traveled far and wide, and the onlookers could hear them clearly, but they all watched the scene expressionlessly, no one spoke, as if they were unmoved.

Jiang Ning didn't care and continued, "My senior sister and I came here today to seek revenge, but I know there are many people like my senior sister. Perhaps some of you have family members who have been harmed by them."

Jiang Ning pointed to the crowd kneeling on the ground.

His words seemed to have touched something, causing some of the onlookers to finally show a change in expression, a hint of hatred appearing in their eyes as they looked at the kneeling people.

“The Xu family has been ruling the county, but no one cares about them, no one dares to care about them. Today I’m here, and I will take charge.”

Jiang Ning remained calm.

“These people are kneeling here right now. If any of you have been harmed by them, you can take revenge.”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

The portly man and the rest of the Xu family were also incredulous.

But Jiang Ning still had the same expression as before.

After a long while.

"Can we all seek revenge on them?"

A boy dressed in tattered clothes came out.

The boy clenched his fists and stared at a middle-aged man kneeling in anger.

Upon seeing the young man appear, some members of the crowd seemed to recognize him and made way for him.

What grudge do you have against him?

Jiang Ning inquired.

The boy said, "My sister was tortured to death by him."

As the boy recounted his story, Jiang Ning realized it was yet another tale of bullying men and women.

Is he telling the truth?

After hearing what had happened, Jiang Ning looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was trembling with fear and dared not speak.

Jiang Ning turned to look at the boy: "How do you plan to take revenge?"

"I want him dead!"

The boy glared at the middle-aged man with hatred in his eyes.

"A life for a life."

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement, then pressed the middle-aged man's pressure points twice before speaking to the boy.

"You can take your revenge now."

Chapter 347: Each wrong has its perpetrator, each debt its debtor.

With Jiang Ning's permission, the boy let out a shout and charged toward the middle-aged man.

The others were so frightened that they moved aside.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The middle-aged man screamed in terror upon seeing this, wanting to beg for mercy, but the boy's eyes were bloodshot.

Shortly after, a shrill scream rang out, making the onlookers uncomfortable.

After a while.

The boy left, dragging the middle-aged man's mangled body away, and Jiang Ning did not stop him.

“These people are kneeling here now. If any of you have been harmed by them, you are free to seek revenge.”

Jiang Ning's words rang out again.

This time, the expressions on everyone's faces were different from before; each of them looked at the people kneeling on the ground with unfriendly expressions.

"You're sick! You're sick!"

A young man, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, suddenly stood up and ran off into the distance.

Jiang Ning simply looked at him, then tapped his foot, sending a pebble flying that struck the young man precisely in the back. With a scream, the young man collapsed to the ground, becoming a corpse.

The other members of the Xu family who were about to get up and resist or run away trembled at the sight.

Jiang Ning looked at them.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Anyone who dares to leave, I’ll send them to the underworld first.”

The news that Jiang Ning was going to personally deal with the Xu family at the gate of the Xu residence had spread throughout Guyang County, and the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger.

As the young man became the first to stand up and seek revenge against the Xu family, more and more ordinary people have stepped forward to do so.

Jiang Ning would always ask them why they wanted revenge, and then personally question the Xu family members. Once he got confirmation, he would let the persecuted people take their revenge.

As time passed, Jiang Ning discovered that none of the people kneeling were innocent; each had committed at least one crime, and some had even done too many evils, so many people wanted to take revenge on them.

Jiang Ning would first immobilize these people by striking their pressure points before letting the common people take revenge. The most tragic case involved someone who was even dismembered by the angry crowd, which shows how much they hated the Xu family who had been bullying them for many years.

Du Lanyin stood outside watching.

At this point, her great revenge had been achieved.

……

far away.

"Master, they are too arrogant."

A disciple from Mount Song looked indignant upon seeing this scene.

“This is the territory of my Songshan Sect, and he’s here to be a chivalrous knight.”

The other disciples from Songshan had the same expression.

Han Tianpeng's face was gloomy.

After leaving the Xu residence, they didn't leave but stayed outside to see what Jiang Ning would do next, but they unexpectedly witnessed this scene.

“Master, why don’t we go back and report to our sect leader, Uncle-Master, and ask him to find the Huashan Sect to give us an explanation?”

One of the disciples said in a low voice.

"Yes, Master."
