Chen Jinwang and the others informed the troupe of actors who had been abducted that they were now free.
Everyone gathered quickly and then left in groups.
The entire village gradually became deserted.
Only the corpse of the Night Rain Tower's Vice Tower Master, hanging before the entrance to the Chen Residence, swayed in the wind.
About four hours later, an unkempt middle-aged man with many pouches hanging all over his body arrived before the Chen Residence.
He looked up at the hanging Vice Tower Master of Night Rain Tower and sighed.
"I told you a long time ago, the Demon Evil God is not someone to be trifled with."
"If you hadn't been found out, you might have had a chance. But once exposed, death was your only way out."
"But you just... wouldn't listen."
He casually pulled a Willow Leaf Flying Saber from a small pouch, flicked his wrist, and with a SWISH, severed the rope.
The Vice Tower Master's body fell. The middle-aged man caught it and laid it to one side.
