The formidable city name, even ten years later, struck terror into the hearts of countless inhabitants of Blue Star.
The City of Godslayer was the domain of the Infected, vile and savage, long rumored to be as devoid of humanity as demons.
However, the people of Blue Star were only now realizing they had been deceived.
Xiao Ye led the humans of this city, relentlessly seizing their resources for survival.
Even amidst the dire overall situation, Xiao Ye spoke out against the injustice for them.
"They seem to be fighting for their lives, just like us..."
Upon witnessing the actions of Gu Ye and his people, the populace of Blue Star fell into a profound confusion.
Did their hatred and loathing for the Infected truly need to exist?
Merely by being tainted by the demonic miasma, they had been deemed unclean.
From head to toe, from the depths of their souls, they were considered filthy!
Mu Qinglan and her companions also harbored a question, "Weren't we told that the Infected would gradually lose their humanity?"
"Then why do they seem to love life so much?"
Ye Qingrou and the others sought answers. Under the warnings of the Blue Star Alliance, the Infected were no different from demons.
Yet, they could still cry and laugh! They had committed no acts harmful to humanity!
After such a long time, they had shown no signs of corruption.
The people's trust in the Alliance began to waver.
Had they been too unquestioning of the Alliance's directives in the distant past?
In the screen's projection.
"Big brother, be careful when you go out."
Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Ye's departing figure with reluctance.
"Be good."
Xiao Ye treated Xiao Xi as a younger sister, gently patting her head.
Gu Feng and a few others stood nearby, their faces solemn as they saw Xiao Ye off.
"Master, please take us with you. For example, Feng Yan is big and can definitely take a beating!"
Xiao Ye smiled and shook his head, refusing.
"You wait for me for a month, and stay in the city."
"Can you find the Soul Purifying Water in a month?"
Feng Yan asked blankly. They knew Xiao Ye intended to help the Infected improve their strength.
Soul Purifying Water could increase soul strength, allowing them to cultivate to A-rank and above!
However, a single drop of this water was as rare as a diamond, and to make all the Infected stronger, at least ten thousand catties of Soul Purifying Water would be needed!
Gu Feng kicked Feng Yan, scolding with a laugh, "If Master says he can find it, he can find it. You just need to believe in Master!"
They knew they couldn't keep up with Xiao Ye, solely because they were too weak.
The Infected also understood that following Xiao Ye would only make them a burden along the way.
Xiao Ye departed from the City of Godslayer.
Amidst the silent prayers of the city's inhabitants, they hoped for Xiao Ye's safe return.
The people of Blue Star were astonished, "Soul Purifying Water? Xiao Ye wants to find our Soul Purifying Water?!"
The production of this Soul Purifying Water was extremely difficult, and within the Alliance, it was only gifted to those who had made significant contributions.
"A group of powerful individuals accidentally discovered a treasure trove of Soul Purifying Water, but were then robbed and plundered by Xiao Ye."
"These powerful individuals were gravely injured, and Xiao Ye actually stole Blue Star's treasure for the sake of the Infected!"
An insider recounted the events of that year. The powerful individuals, battered and bruised, fled back to Blue Star.
This incited the fury of the Blue Star Alliance, who pursued Xiao Ye relentlessly, intending to reclaim the Soul Purifying Water!
"This is a grave crime. Xiao Ye stole the Soul Purifying Water, seizing Blue Star's resources..."
Seeing the emotions of the Blue Star populace being stirred, each one ready to condemn Xiao Ye.
Hao Duoyu seized the opportunity, "As you can see, Xiao Ye's heart has long been betrayed. He would do anything for those Infected."
"Aren't we supposed to record his crimes? Does Xiao Ye robbing Soul Purifying Water to enhance the Infected's strength count?"
The elder, who recorded history, heard Hao Duoyu's words, and his expression turned strange as he nodded, preparing to record a new charge against Xiao Ye.
"Wait, don't be so quick to record. There might be some hidden circumstances..."
Chu Fei spoke up, stopping the elder. She knew clearly that once these charges were inscribed in history.
They would be forever condemned, from ancient times to the present!
"What hidden circumstances could there be? This is what the powerful individuals themselves said. Are they lying?!"
The powerful individuals, who were severely injured back then, had ignited the outrage of the Blue Star populace.
Xiao Ye's reputation grew even more infamous!
Chu Fei and Ye Qingrou clenched their fists. They wanted to speak up for Xiao Ye and prove his innocence.
However, faced with the questioning eyes of the Blue Star people, they were powerless to refute!
"Look quickly, these are the powerful individuals who obtained the Soul Purifying Water back then!"
A man excitedly pointed at the screen.
Everyone looked, and saw the powerful individuals from that time.
Xiao Ye, who had left the City of Godslayer, encountered this group of powerful individuals facing an A-rank demon three days later!
They were fleeing frantically through the mountains and forests, looking utterly pathetic.
At that moment, Xiao Ye's sharp sword appeared!
The materialized sword, with its dazzling, piercing white light, slew the giant snake demon.
The powerful individuals were relieved, "An A-rank peak expert? Thank you for saving us..."
Xiao Ye cut out the gall of the giant snake demon; this was a great tonic.
The people of Blue Star had never expected that Xiao Ye's encounter with the powerful individuals would be a scene of rescue.
Xiao Ye originally intended to turn and leave, but the powerful individuals all followed him.
"Someone on our side is injured. Can we accompany you?"
Xiao Ye exuded the dark aura of the Infected, but the powerful individuals had been trapped in this mountain forest for a long time.
They had no choice but to seek Xiao Ye's help to lead them out of their predicament.
"We will repay you. Please, help us."
Seeing the sincere faces of the powerful individuals, Xiao Ye had no reservations at that time.
He led them through the mountain forest, with Xiao Ye hunting demons along the way.
Several days later.
The powerful individuals were nearing the exit of the mountain forest. As Xiao Ye dealt with a demon, he discovered the existence of a waterfall curtain.
Behind the mountain waterfall, Xiao Ye found a large quantity of Soul Purifying Water!
His days of searching for Soul Purifying Water had finally paid off!
Xiao Ye revealed a slight, joyous smile.
The powerful individuals watched with great astonishment, never expecting Xiao Ye to be so lucky.
There had been legends of Soul Purifying Water in this mountain range, but finding its location was incredibly difficult.
Xiao Ye collected the abundant Soul Purifying Water.
He looked up and saw the powerful individuals, their faces etched with envy.
Xiao Ye bottled a small amount and gave it to them.
The faces of the powerful individuals stiffened as they said to Xiao Ye, "We found this Soul Purifying Water together. Why are you only giving us a small bottle?"
Xiao Ye saw their apparent dissatisfaction, and his brow furrowed instantly.
"If you don't give us half, we won't let you take it away, no matter what."
The powerful individuals, their eyes filled with greed, surrounded him.
He felt as though he had helped a bunch of scoundrels!
"Bang!"
With an A-rank burst of power, Xiao Ye struck the chests of the powerful individuals.
His figure, like a dragon, moved with the agility of a blur, escaping!
The powerful individuals gritted their teeth, "We can't let him take the Soul Purifying Water!"
In the projection.
The powerful individuals had turned on him.
Their greedy, nauseating demeanor struck a nerve with every single person in the Blue Star audience.
Their astonished faces were replaced by shame, "How could it be... Xiao Ye discovered the Soul Purifying Water?"
