Chapter 468: Worse Than Beasts, Yet They Treat Others Like Beasts
"My daughter grew up, her aptitude wasn't exceptional. To give her a good future and a background to protect her, I thought about sending her to a major sect for cultivation.
However, I didn't even dare to dream of the Nine Great Powers, so I could only look to those smaller sects. In the end, I spent all my savings and managed to bribe a Foundation Establishment elder of the Cold Sword Sect, sending my daughter into the sect as an outer disciple.
Even as an outer disciple would have been good. At least she wouldn't have to live a life without a fixed abode like me, a rogue cultivator. It's too disadvantageous for a girl to live like that." - Great Winds Novel Network
Wan Lei nodded. The other party had done nothing wrong. As parents, no matter how bitter their own lives were, as long as they could ensure their children lived safe and happy lives, they would be content.
"My daughter, she was honest and straightforward, she wouldn't curry favor with others, nor would she know how to socialize. Every day, she just diligently did her own work, and in her spare time, she would cultivate.
But what wrong did such a girl commit that she had to be humiliated daily by these scoundrels!
I knew very clearly that in the cultivation world, without strength, one could only be bullied.
But I... but I later found out that what they did was far beyond mere humiliation.
In the beginning, they only verbally shamed my daughter, and made things difficult for her in her daily tasks. My daughter was honest, meek, and had no strength to resist, so she could only let them do as they pleased.
Later, seeing my daughter's weakness, these dogs became even more unbridled and rampant.
They often ordered her around, summoned her with sharp words, sometimes captured her to play with, and if they were even slightly displeased, they would beat her severely.
They hung my daughter from the beams, whipped her, slapped her. They laughed heartily while she cried in pain.
Later, they simply locked my daughter away, built a dog cage and raised her like a dog, forcing her to eat feces and drink urine, and letting some male disciples defile her.
In their eyes, my daughter wasn't even human, but merely a toy they could toy with and manipulate at will.
They were worse than beasts! Beasts don't eat their own kind, yet they forced my daughter into the likeness of a dog, all to satisfy their perverted desires!
My daughter lived worse than a dog in the Cold Sword Sect. In the end, she couldn't bear it any longer, took the opportunity to escape, and sent me a message saying,
'Father, I can't live anymore. Don't look for me, just pretend you never had a daughter like me.'
Then, she self-detonated her dantian and jumped off a cliff.
Later, I captured a disciple from the Cold Sword Sect and forced him to reveal these things.
It was them!!!"
The middle-aged cultivator shed tears of blood and pointed at the two women.
"These two are the chief culprits who persecuted my daughter! They were the ringleaders, and they are the ones who tormented my daughter the longest and bullied her the most.
Do you think what I'm doing to them now is excessive? But it's not even one-ten-thousandth of what they did to my daughter.
Shouldn't people like them, these wicked individuals, be killed by you Heavenly Condemners? Shouldn't I take revenge?
I bullied them, and you want to kill me, but they literally drove my daughter to her death. Why don't you kill them!!!
It's not just my daughter. People like them, who knows how many people they've killed or bullied? How many have lived worse than dogs under their claws!
Why don't you intervene!"
Some people are worse than beasts, yet they like to treat others like beasts.
"Is what he said true?"
Qi Man Yao looked at the two women with disbelief, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's not true! How could we do such things? This is all his fabrication to make you let him go.
Heroine, you must believe us! We are the victims! We are the ones being bullied! This person is a pervert, he's capable of anything!"
The woman spoke very quickly, but her evasive eyes told Qi Man Yao that she was lying.
"Do you dare to swear to the Heavenly Dao? If you lie, Heavenly Punishment will descend and smite you to death."
Qi Man Yao grabbed the woman's collar and asked fiercely.
"I..."
Clearly, she dared not.
Wan Lei sighed. He had originally thought that such things only happened when the apocalypse arrived, order collapsed, and humanity was lost. The Lei Feng Realm was so good, such things shouldn't exist.
He hadn't expected that the ugliness of human nature was the same in every world.
Even here, there were still people living worse than beasts.
"Heaven is unjust! It's a pity I have the will to kill the villains, but no power to turn back the tide. It's a pity that before I could kill all these dogs, you appeared.
Damn heavens, why don't you open your dog eyes and see how filthy this world has become!
Where is your Heavenly Punishment? Where is your fairness? Where is your conscience?!"
The middle-aged cultivator's blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Qi Man Yao, word by word, teeth gritting,
"You know nothing, you only believe what you see, and you attack me the moment you arrive.
You stand in the sunlight, on the moral high ground. You rely on your strength, you don't understand anything, you don't know anything, and you become an emissary of justice, criticizing me.
You hide behind your mask, and unscrupulously criticize people and things you don't like. But do you know how many people have been attacked arbitrarily by you without knowing the truth? How many people have chosen to commit suicide because of the public pressure you created? How many families have been torn apart by you?
You call yourselves just, you call yourselves noble, you indulge yourselves, thinking you have once again exercised the power of justice and judged evil.
How many people, at the moment they fell, couldn't even see your faces clearly, and didn't even know who killed them!!!"
Qi Man Yao stood there stunned, looking at the two women with their shifting eyes, and at the middle-aged cultivator who was roaring in anger.
She didn't know their names, but she could feel their emotions and their thoughts.
Some wanted to live, some wanted revenge, some wanted to live well, and some just wanted others to die miserably.
She was confused, struggling, hesitating, and at a loss.
This wasn't the first time she had doubted the stance of her organization. In the past, she had often encountered missions to kill people, and those people all had their own difficulties. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
The joys and sorrows of people are not shared, but their essence is the same.
The same ugliness, the same sympathy, the same humanity...
Qi Man Yao abandoned the mission once again. She walked slowly towards the outside, as if she had lost her soul.
Alas, Man Yao Yao is so innocent, kind, and lovely. Why does she have to experience this human ugliness? My heart aches.
Young Master Lei shook his head and sighed. In his opinion, he would rather Qi Man Yao remain forever innocent and bright, and not be contaminated by the filth of this world.
