Lin Dan spent almost two hours to kill those who were infected by the plague. Wherever she went, there were people who tried to run away from her or kneeled down and thanked her in tears. They were terminally ill and were suffering from an incurable disease. They had consumed so much human flesh that it was better for them to die.

After ensuring that everyone in the inner city was dead, Lin Dan, having practiced a unique technique and not afraid of the disease, gathered the bodies of these people in one place and burned them.

In fact, even before she came, there were infected taking their own lives daily, but Yan Zhaotian would always throw more healthy people over the wall so that he could maintain a certain number of people in the inner city. He prohibited his civilians from leaving the city and turned this place into a hunting ground, taking pleasure in toying with human lives. If the day came when all of this people were dead, he would move to another city and continue the same game. His father ruled two great empires after all and would not care about losing an insignificant city.

Those at the top never saw the suffering of the people at the bottom. Unfortunately, this was the Law of the Jungle and the reality of Eastern Tang.

As the smoke rose, Lin Dan stood in front of the heap of burned bodies with a solemn expression and nobody could tell what she was thinking. Her Asura Sword had turned black which resulted from devouring too much blood. Master Fazhao and the others quickly sat down and recite the Sutra of the Dead. Coming to this city for eleven years in a row, his wish was finally fulfilled.

Bai Yan let go of the little boy who was no longer crying and untied his family. After seeing them leave, he looked at Lin Dan's unyielding back with beaming eyes.

Seeing that the bodies had been burned to ashes, Lin Dan jumped on the wall and left immediately. When she passed by Bai Yan, she stressed word by word, "One day, if I have also become a hideous monster like them, you must kill me!"

For a long time, Bai Yan did not respond. Seeing that she was staring at him with a determined look, he said softly, "Understood." But at the same time, he felt a faint heartache, as if something was missing.

When Master Fazhao heard their conversation, he opened his eyes and lamented, "Amitabha. This is good, indeed! "

Lin Dan continued moving forward. The city guards pointed at her with swords and spears, but no one dared to take another step forward. As she was soaked in blood, she looked like a devil, leaving a bloody footprint with every step she took. After walking for a few feet, she suddenly stopped and proclaimed, "I am Lin Dan. You may tell Emperor Yan that I'm the one who killed his son. If he wants revenge, find me at the top of Mount Kunlun where we will fight to our deaths!"

In the end, she initiated a duel with Emperor Yan so that no one else would be implicated by her action. It was an unspoken rule that any one who was involved in a duel could not begin the revenge before the outcome of the duel was decided. If she won, everyone would be safe. Otherwise, the Holy Eastern Sect could only hope for the best.

"She is the new Grandmaster, Lin Dan!" One of the guards cried.

"Hurry, inform Emperor Yan!" As the people scrambled, Lin Dan had already left in the wind. Beneath her feet were civilians running out of their closed doors, pointing at the thick smoke, and exclaimed that someone had killed the city lord and burned the Plague City. As tears rolled down their cheeks, they kneeled down and kowtowed to the nameless benefactor. If the benefactor had not come, they would sooner or later be thrown into the Plague City and turned into monsters that had no control over their own lives! Emperor Yan was no human, he was clearly Hades from hell!
