The man in the army-green uniform yelled madly.
"What kind of hero picks on a woman? If you want to fight, fight me first!"
He thought this would stop the man in the army-green uniform, as they at least knew each other.
But the man in the army-green uniform did not stop.
There were other diners in the restaurant, and many chose to flee immediately.
A young boy, shielding his girlfriend, left quickly. Others with more courage stood a short distance away.
Some took out their phones to film.
It was unclear whether it was to preserve evidence or simply to spectate.
Still others were already terrified by the scene, unsure how to react.
The attackers did not stop, but instead cursed at the people eating with Xue Wanying.
At this moment, the girl in black also walked out of the restaurant.
Just then, Xue Wanying struggled to get up from the ground.
This ignited the rage of several men, "She's not dead after being hit this hard? Beat her to death!"
The man in black shouted.
Xue Wanying instinctively dodged and ran out of the small restaurant.
Her figure disappeared from the phone screens.
That corner was somewhat dark, but there was a phantom image in the sky.
That Qianlai knew Xue Wanying should be alright, but this debt could not be let go!
"When did this happen?"
Although That Qianlai was angry, he remained calm.
"Reporting to my Lord, this is a video that started circulating in the mortal realm just in the last couple of days! It should have happened a few days ago!"
The headless corpse replied, not daring to conceal anything.
"What? Days ago, and you're only telling me now?"
That Qianlai questioned.
The headless corpse quickly bowed and said, "It is my subordinate's failure in duty that allowed this loophole to be exploited. Please punish me, my Lord. However, your subordinate has already ascertained that this is the work of fierce gods and fiends, causing this entire incident!"
"What fierce gods and fiends? Are they spirits we released ourselves?"
That Qianlai asked again.
"No, no, no. How could we harm our own people? They are a new pair of fierce gods and fiends who, I hear, wish to establish their territory here."
"Oh, really?"
That Qianlai fell into a brief period of thought.
If fierce gods and fiends were involved, and they were targeting territory, then they were targeting him.
However, to act without first gathering information showed too little regard for him, That Qianlai.
"I have a task for you. Go and thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of those beasts in the video, every single one! Those who owe me, I will have them repay tenfold!"
That Qianlai said fiercely.
Weren't they mad? Weren't they arrogant? No one had been born yet who could be arrogant in front of him!
"Yes!"
The headless corpse received the order and immediately went to investigate the backgrounds of that group.
While the investigation was underway, That Qianlai went into seclusion to cultivate.
Although he had been injured by the golden light, after clearing his meridians, he felt his cultivation speed accelerate. In just a few days, his cultivation had reached the level he was at before his injury.
Soon, a list appeared on That Qianlai's desk.
"Qin Shouchi, the main culprit, instigator of the conflict, wearing army-green clothes; Er Lengtao, the one who attacked the most, the most frenzied, wearing a white t-shirt that night; Ma Yunqi, cold-blooded, calm throughout, skilled in combat, the one in black clothes is him; Cui Guangliang, the shifty one in the red hat and white clothes...
Two women: Zuo Yimeng, wearing black shorts and a white top, was hit by Er Lengtao and did not intervene further; Tang Shufei, in a beige full-length dress, handed Er Lengtao a tissue to wipe blood. She remained a completely indifferent observer throughout the incident.
..."
There were many people present at the time, and That Qianlai specifically focused on those who had participated in the assault. Su Dan Novel Network
Since he knew who had challenged him, he would let them know how formidable he was!
That Qianlai lit a cigar, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Sandao was discussing with Bai Suxiang how to rescue people.
Although That Qianlai had acted swiftly, he had not been heavy-handed; he had not intended to kill. Otherwise, Bai Suxiang would have been more than just unconscious.
The God of Death showing mercy was something Liu Sandao had not expected.
After being tended to by Patriarch Fuling, Bai Suxiang woke up quickly.
Not only that, but Fu Ruhai finally had a human form. Although transparent, one could still see the bamboo segment that Patriarch Fuling had erected within his body.
To truly revive Fu Ruhai, they had to find the person with the One-Star and Ten-Star before the bamboo segment was damaged.
It was precisely because there were so many things to do that Liu Sandao brought Bai Suxiang down to the mortal realm as soon as she recovered.
As they passed by a street corner, they happened upon a group of people beating two girls.
It was dark, and only the shouts and cries could be heard.
Liu Sandao quickly took out his Book of Blessings, and a name appeared on the first page: "Xue Wanying, Zuo Lengqiu!"
He swiftly completed the act of bestowing a blessed fruit and threw it down.
Slowly, the two girls stopped making noise, and the attackers stopped and fled in panic.
The entire process was not long, but the girls appeared to be in grave danger.
Bai Suxiang, in her haste, immediately called the hospital.
Judging by their injuries, they were not lightly hurt. They had lost consciousness, but these were superficial signs, and also their ordeal.
Liu Sandao knew they would wake up because their roots of fortune were stable and they still had much blessed fruit remaining.
Soon, doctors arrived at the scene, and official personnel also appeared.
Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao, as witnesses, were kept behind to cooperate with the investigation.
But the sight of so many men beating two girls was unacceptable anywhere.
Initially, Liu Sandao didn't think much of it, considering it potentially just ordinary grievances.
However, Bai Suxiang quickly found the complete video of the assault online and showed it to Liu Sandao.
"Truly beasts!"
Liu Sandao, who usually did not interfere in mortal affairs, could not help but become angry.
Bai Suxiang said even more indignantly, "These people must be severely punished to be worthy of the two girls!"
But how to punish them severely?
No one could clearly say.
Evil people would always find ways to protect themselves, using loopholes in the law to exonerate themselves. The law was equal, but the law was not omnipotent.
As it happened, as soon as Qin Shouchi returned home, he simply treated his injuries and then called for an ambulance.
The ambulance picked him up at his doorstep to take him to the hospital, and for good measure, he obtained a medical assessment of his injuries.
All of this was done with practiced ease.
He knew how to use the law to protect himself and minimize his losses.
Looking at the overwhelming news analysis online, Liu Sandao could not help but lament, "The rules of law are a protective umbrella designed for these kinds of beasts!"
But what could be done about it?
Even as an immortal, Liu Sandao could not intervene in this matter.
But there was one person who could!
