Chapter 666: Chapter 666 The Five Beasts Exert Their Might, Causes and Consequences (3)_1

The father and daughter duo calmly soothed the twelve children while untying them. Mo Yan checked on each child and found that they were only frightened, suffering no other harm, and couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

While it was wrong for these children to run off to the mountain against their parents’ advice, the terror they felt from being kidnapped by the bandits outside was undeniably connected to her. Now that they were safe, her underlying worry had finally dissipated.

What came next clearly wasn’t for the children to witness, lest they be scared again. So Mo Yan left them in the care of her father inside the tent, while she went outside and ordered Red Python to drag the bandits together for an interrogation about the mastermind behind the operation.

They didn’t manage to find out who was pulling the strings, but they did learn that these men were the same two groups of mountain bandits who had ambushed them on their way back from Phoenix Mountain that night.

Since the bandits had been bitten by the "little brothers" called by the Red Python, although the poison wasn’t strong enough to kill them, they ended up paralyzed and bedridden just as Little Flower said—without timely medical treatment. These fifty people survived the ordeal only with the protection of others.

Although she bore a grudge against these men, the moon had not yet risen that night, and it was as dark as dense ink; she was escorted by the imperial Hidden Guards, so those bandits couldn’t possibly have known she was there.

If someone hadn’t informed them, how could they have known of her existence, let alone find their way to Liu Yang Village? She didn’t know if Xiao Ruiyuan and the others had pursued these people later, but now that they had encountered each other tonight, she was determined to clear things up once and for all, not leaving any future trouble.

Looking at the hateful stares from Scar face and others, Mo Yan gave a cold laugh, "That night, you also followed someone’s orders to ambush us, right? I guess this time it’s the same person, isn’t it? If you’re willing to tell me who’s behind this, maybe in a good mood, I’ll let you go."

"Ptui! Even if you kill us brothers tonight, we won’t tell you who it is, you wicked bitch! Just give up that fantasy!" Scar face, his body stained with blood, stared at Mo Yan with vengeful eyes, looking as if he wished he could pounce on her and devour her flesh and blood.

"Haha, you wicked woman, don’t think you can have it all your way after dealing with us brothers. That person has many tricks up their sleeve and will not let you go! If you have any sense, let us go quickly; otherwise, when that person finds out, your whole family can wait to be cut to pieces!"

"Haha, being cut to pieces sounds good, very good. It’ll be like taking revenge for all our brothers."

...

The other bandits, though in dire straits, not faring much better than Scar face, now struggled to threaten Mo Yan.

Mo Yan hadn’t expected the bandits to be so tough and poised, a hint of a mocking smile appeared on her face: "I don’t know if my family and I will be cut to pieces, but whether you will be or not, I can see it! If you don’t believe me, let’s find out right now, who wants to go first?"

The bandits who had just been bellowing were now staring at Mo Yan with doubts and suspicion, wondering if she really had the guts to do it.

Mo Yan didn’t give them time to think, immediately calling over Mao Tuan, her claws the sharpest, with a touch of cruel coldness on her lips: "Aren’t you always complaining that those wooden posts you use to sharpen your claws aren’t strong enough? These people’s bones must be hard enough; skin and flesh peeled off layer by layer would reveal bones that should be great for sharpening, with so many human bones, you’ll have enough to sharpen for three to five years!"
