Shi Feiyang and Tie Shu had exchanged magical practices for so ti, and during this period, Xiong Man, Lin Han, and others had already cleared out Lin Rui’s cave, liberating all the wronged souls on the spot that could be freed, and taking away those that could not be, already having returned to Bitter Bamboo Temple ahead of ti.
Shi Feiyang returned to the temple and ordered all the animals that could speak human language to be gathered so that he could break the spell that bound them.
He took out the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, first releasing the Hongng Purple Qi to fill the courtyard, "subrging" the multitude of animals within it, then releasing nine Golden Rings, which he arranged in a circle, first revolving around a black bear.
The Pure Yang Golden Flower was specialized in breaking all Evil Skills, and as the golden light shone upon the bear’s body, it began to produce smoke as soon as it started to turn.
First from its ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, smoke began to billow out, followed by wisps of black smoke erging from all over the bear’s pores.
Once the Golden Flower had made nine revolutions, the bear’s skin suddenly collapsed, and a naked man crawled out from a slit that opened in its belly.
As the Golden Flower moved from one animal to the next, with each undergoing nine rotations, a person would erge from each one, both n and won alike. As they ca out, they fell to their knees on the ground, crying inconsolably.
As Shi Feiyang was rescuing them, he also taught the solution so that Xiong Man, Lin Han, Shi Sheng, and others could assist. Xiong Man used the Dragon Sparrow Ring, Lin Han wielded the Xuan Guang Ruler, and Shi Sheng deployed the Heavenly Heart Ring. For a ti, the spacious courtyard was alight with the radiance of the Treasure Light, and the colorful qi boiled, reflecting off the verdant bamboo around and making the place look like sothing out of a fairy tale.
Soon, all fifty-five animals were successfully rescued. They were all Human, the oldest being in their twenties and the youngest in their teens, captured by Lin Rui and transford into animals, clad in fur and horns, serving under his discipline, and often subjected to whipping and punishnt. Now, at last, they had escaped into the light of day, holding each other and crying bitterly.
When Lin Han and the others previously raided the den of Evil, they found so human clothes. Having learned from the animals that they had been trapped by Sorcery and were originally living people, they anticipated the usefulness of these clothes and brought them back to the temple, all piled up for the rescued to rummage through and wear.
Over fifty people, now clothed, ca back and knelt before Shi Feiyang to thank him, crowding the space with their bowed figures.
Shi Feiyang told them to stand and speak, among them a robust Han, a leader, who narrated their tale of suffering.
It turned out that they all ca from a small mountain village beneath Ailao Mountain, nad Woyun Village. The village chief, also this leader, was called Xiao Yi.
Shi Feiyang’s arrival had brought many variables to this world, particularly as he had perford many grand acts, leading to significant changes in many events.
Lin Rui had so dealings with Jiuhua Mountain’s tiger-faced Garan Lei Yin. Having suffered a great loss at the hands of Shi Feiyang and even having the mountain treasure, the Thunder Sound Cone, taken away, Lei Yin was terrified and planned to flee to avoid disaster in consultation with Long Hua.
In the original story, the future Xun Lanyin went to Jiuhua Mountain to establish an abode, where Long Hua was slain, and after Lei Yin fled, he encountered the Heroic Monk Yi Fan’s Three Light Divine Mallet and died sitting down, turning to dust.
Now, due to fear of Shi Feiyang, they left ahead of ti and both managed to escape the death fate. In the anti, many things happened—Lin Rui, Lei Yin, and Long Hua encountered Yi Fan in Yibin, and the three dueled with Yi Fan, closing with neither victory nor defeat. They then agreed to a duel in three years’ ti at Laojun Mountain to decide the winner.
For this reason, Lin Rui, wanting to refine formidable Divine Demons and Magical Treasures, took in many new Disciples but still felt short-handed. In the process of seeking the essential elents, his disciples discovered the secluded Woyun Village, and Lin Rui captured all the villagers. Those too old or too young to be useful were all killed and refined into banners, while the rest were stripped bare, clad in animal skins, and transford into Beasts to serve him. Those disobedient would be tortured with Evil Skill; these villagers suffered imnsely under his charge.
Woyun Village was also a famous place in the original text, with the Xiao Family originally holding office in the court but encountering adversity and offending a superior, which incited them to seek refuge. Stumbling upon a hidden utopia in the mountains, they relocated their entire family there.
Their village, deeply hidden within the vast mountains, was extrely difficult for the outside world to find; if not flying over from the sky, an ordinary person would be unable to even find a way in or out.
The village wasn’t populous, yet it was infamous for troubles stirred by a few troublemakers acting out of love turned to hatred, scheming and causing nurous injustices.
The village chief Xiao Yi’s wife, Ouyang Shuang, had so Immortal Roots and Immortal Bones. Originally, she would have been frad and set up, leading Xiao Yi to believe she had an affair with his clan brother, inciting him to ruthlessly plot her murder.
Ouyang Shuang, on a snowy night, hanged herself in the forest and was rescued by Zheng Dianxian, who took her as his disciple. Her children, also with good roots, one after another, entered under Zheng Dianxian, while others were taken by a Divine Eagle and later beca disciples of Mr. Zhong of the Kunlun Sect.
So many scandals arose from the broken village, yet it birthed several young n and won with excellent roots and bones.
Now, before Xiao Yi could even act against his wife, the entire village was wiped out by Lin Rui, who abducted them to the mountains and degraded them into serving as Beasts.
Uninterested in the affairs of their village, Shi Feiyang briefly inquired about what had happened, then let Lin Han take them to an auxiliary courtyard to temporarily settle down.
These people, upon reaching their new lodgings and seeing the surrounding tranquil bamboo grove, felt as if they had entered the fabled utopia of an immortal realm from legends. Recollecting their past ordeals, they seed to awaken from a nightmare, and once again, they wept in anguish.
After venting their emotions, Lin Han and Shi Sheng brought them a large tub of Five Carriages Eater... The ones Shi Feiyang had refined at Dinghu Peak had long been consud, this batch was later made at Outer Heaven Divine Mountain.
