Chapter 1865: Chapter 1859: You Have No Compassion

"I don’t know if I’ve offended you three?" The restaurant owner looked at the group with hostility, "I don’t remember having any dealings with you three."

"You haven’t offended us, the Divine Profound Hall has!" The three thought of their tragically dead comrades and struggled to suppress their anger. To them, everyone from the Divine Profound Hall deserved death. They were just causing trouble now and hadn’t killed anyone yet, which was very rational of them.

"Hahaha, I’ve only ever heard of others offending the Divine Profound Hall; when did a few insignificant people get the qualification to be offended by the Divine Profound Hall?" The restaurant owner laughed arrogantly, as if every disciple of the Divine Profound Hall carried an imprint about it in their hearts.

"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might consider sparing your lives!" The restaurant owner said coldly.

"I know the people from the Divine Profound Hall are scum, but I didn’t expect each one to be scum! The words they speak are so arrogant!"

"I overestimated their character; I originally felt a bit guilty, but now there’s none left!"

The few exchanged glances and smiled, "Forget it, too lazy to find an excuse, let’s just wreck the place!"

"Alright, let’s do it!"

...

Rumble!

With a loud crash, the whole restaurant collapsed, and a figure simultaneously flew out from it, sliding across the ground for dozens of meters due to the strong impact before reluctantly stopping.

He looked at everything before him in disbelief; someone actually dared to cause trouble in Xuanyun City, the city of the Divine Profound Hall. Had they truly eaten bear’s gall and leopard’s guts?

"What kind of lousy hotel is this? No massage services? So unprofessional? What do you mean, are you looking down on me, or do you think I can’t afford it? Don’t understand massages, then why run a hotel?"

A booming voice came from another direction, even causing a faint pain in people’s eardrums.

Before he could recover his senses, another hotel next to him suddenly collapsed as well. The hotel owner, also a disciple of the Divine Profound Hall, was a fellow disciple and they had been neighbors here for decades.

Both lying in the same spot, they stared at each other in confusion, unbearable pain still radiating from their bodies, yet they couldn’t fully comprehend who these people were, or why they were wreaking havoc in Xuanyun City—what enmity, what grievance?

Compared to that, their behavior was already much more civilized. At least they found what seemed like a common reason, keeping people from saying they were unreasonable and rude.

In another part of Xuanyun City, four ragged youths were begging along the street, but no one paid much attention. Beneath their scruffy expressions, they had extremely resolute eyes.

"Kind sirs and madams, please show some mercy and spare us some food. We haven’t had a full meal in 10 minutes."

"Kind sirs and madams, grant us a little favor. We are truly pitiful; we have lost hundreds of brothers recently, our hearts are full of agony!"

Although these people cried as they voiced their grievances, it always sounded a bit odd—what does "haven’t had a full meal in 10 minutes" mean? Has the threshold for begging become so low now?

Their behavior still attracted some attention, with some people tossing over some food, others handing them fragments of gold and silver.

However, their kind gestures did not receive any expression of gratitude.

"You’re giving us this to eat? Treating us like beggars?"

"Only this little bit of gold fragments? Are you kidding? We have dignity! If you don’t give us millions of crystals, what’s the point of pretending to do charity?"

"I’m speechless, a big place like Xuanyun City doesn’t have anyone decent? What’s wrong with you? Isn’t the Divine Profound Hall supposed to be supporting you? How come you can’t even meet basic material conditions?"

...

The people of Xuanyun City stared blankly at these beggars, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Wow, who has ever seen beggars like this? What kind of beggars actually do things like this, not only being picky but also complaining that the money given wasn’t enough?

Demands of millions of Divine Crystals—are they begging or extorting?

Moreover, logically speaking, a place like Xuanyun City shouldn’t even have any beggars.

First, to maintain the city’s image and normal order, any beggar would be directly driven out, and there were strict regulations here—begging was considered criminal behavior.

Their actions quickly attracted the attention of patrol personnel in Xuanyun City, a group of people in uniform quickly gathered towards their direction.

"What’s going on? Don’t you know begging is not allowed in Xuanyun City?"

"Get out of here quickly, this is not the place you people should be!"

"If you don’t hurry up and get out, we’ll have to take mandatory measures."

.....

The patrol team members were all disciples of the Divine Profound Hall, holding great authority here. People from affiliated countries didn’t dare to offend them lightly, especially when confronting these vagrants, treating them like trash.

"Don’t you people have any compassion?" a beggar stood up to righteously accuse, "Can’t you see we’re all emaciated and skeletal? How can you bear to drive away such pitiful people?"

"Exactly! Are you even human? I stand on the highest point of morality to accuse you; you have no sympathy, yet you want to expel us. You’re simply heartless!"

"Stop with the nonsense!" Those patrol members never had any morals, nor were they bound by them, "Hurry and get out, otherwise we’ll arrest you. Once in Xuanyun City’s prison, few come out alive."

"See! They’re threatening us! It’s blatant danger."

"Heaven and Earth! These people are shameless!"

...

"Forget it!"

Their weeping suddenly stopped. "Since this world is unjust, we shall overthrow this unjust world, this city lacks compassion, we will overthrow it and rebuild a city full of love."

"I have a dream, that henceforth this city will have no begging, no hunger, no pain, no tears!"

...

Suddenly, the aura from these beggars changed.

"Divine Cultivation Realm Martial Artists..." the patrol members’ eyes widened, "You’re not ordinary disaster victims, what are you?"

"We’re here to collect a debt!" They erupted with murderous intent, "Non-related personnel, step aside, we only demolish homes, we don’t kill, we only target the Divine Profound Hall, we won’t harm the innocent!"

...

Above Xuanyun City, a young man looked in shock at the scene, his forehead covered in dark lines.

This group, after three years of mingling with him, what have they truly learned? Now they’re starting to act like performance artists, right? These ideas are truly endless; even he’d kneel down and call them big brother.

"One word," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Brilliant!"
