Chapter 135 – An Army Approaching
7 PM
Tong and Li Feihong came back to the Ganling City. A blue gate was opened again and the kidnapped girls walked out of the portal.
A surprise shout was heard, then came the cheers of joy. Family members who recognized the returning girls rushed in to embrace their family members in delight.
Since Li Feihong could only open one gate at a time, it took a while for the girls to leave the private world.
Li Feihong watched the reunion of the families with a smile. Zhao Yun gazed at the monitor with a content smile but tinge of sadness was hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Tong, on the other hand, had a solemn expression on his face.
'In the end, that guy didn't show up.'
'Has he really fled from the city for good?'
'…Damn it! I wish he was here! I don't like the unknown!'
Throughout the battle, the mysterious ninja otherworlder did not show up. It gave Tong a threatening feeling as he no longer had the absolute protection from the [Plot Armor], and the location of the otherworlder was unknown. This person might come back and take revenge on Tong in the future.
Tong took a deep breath to calm his anxiety. He turned his gaze toward the situation in the monitors.
In the screens, those that managed to reunite with their loved ones were crying and hugging each other in happiness.
But there were quite a few families that were disappointed as hundreds of unfortunate girls were killed by the bandits or committed suicide before Tong could rescue them.
There were also a few unlucky girls who came back only to find their relatives' lifeless bodies.
Tragedies of the bandit assault angered Tong and all soldiers. He thought that Zhang Yan's easy death was not enough as he should have been tortured more.

Alarmed by the messages from the system, Tong gulped down and reigned his temper.
The content of the messages was terrifying on many levels. It hinted that Tong's [Demonic Curse] was either a double-edged sword skill or a sinister skill that should never be used.
'The last time I let go of my greed, my [Greed] is weakened. But if I go along with my emotions or the 7 sins, I will be controlled by the curse?'
'But if I remember correctly, my [Pride] helped me during my fight with Lu Bu.'
'What kind of skill is this!? System, can you please explain?'
There was no answer from the system goddess. He was ignored.
…
Twenty minutes later after all girls left the private world, Zhao Yun also exited the gate. He had witnessed enough tragic scenes.
”Damn bandits!” Zhao Yun was about to become infuriated again. But after he remembered what Tong had taught him about the anger proverb, he withheld his frustration.
An elder and a young girl walked toward Zhao Yun. They bowed to him as if he was a deity.
”Thank you for saving my daughter, young man. Thank you!”
He was the elder that Zhao Yun had hugged. Because he did not contribute in this battle at all, Zhao Yun could only smile wryly at the elder.
”If you want to thank someone, you should tell it to that person. He was the one who saved the kidnapped people.” Zhao Yun pointed at the frowning Tong who had just exited the gate with Li Feihong.
Instead of going to Tong, the elder smiled at Zhao Yun.
”No, I'm bowing down to my benefactor. If you haven't hugged me and give me the encouragement, I would have committed suicide or would have given up living already. But thanks to you, you gave me hope. Because of that hope, I cling on living and I can see my daughter again. So, thank you, hero!”
”This…”
Zhao Yun was astonished by the result of his action. Instead of disrespecting the elder, he ended up saving his life indirectly?
He looked at Tong in astonishment. He thought 'Did he plan this from the start?'.
