Chapter 48: Chapter 47 Saving the Tiger-faced Man
With his acute perception fully open, the world before him instantly turned colorful again, and Tang San immediately sensed that the concentration of the wind element in the air was much denser than under normal conditions. Clearly, someone was manipulating a large amount of the wind element, and from the agitation of the wind element, it was clear that it was not being used for cultivation but for battle.
Without hesitating for a second, Tang San immediately climbed out the window and scaled the outer wall to the floor above.
In just a few moments, he had already reached the window on the second floor.
The window was open, and inside the room, three people were engaged in a silent standoff.
Wang Yanfeng had already activated his Wind Wolf Transformation, and Qiu Jing by his side had done the same. What surprised Tang San was that their usually gentle teacher, who took care of them, was emitting an aura that also reached the Fourth Stage. Her transformation into the Wind Wolf was noticeably smaller than Wang Yanfeng\'s, standing slightly behind him.
Standing in front of the couple, however, was a man wearing a mask.
This man was tall, wearing a black outfit, with a somewhat strange mask on his face. The pattern on the mask looked a bit like a tiger, but with blue lines.
"Brother Wang, hello, no need to be nervous," the Tiger-faced Man said with both hands gesturing reassuringly. However, the aura emanating from him was subtly revealing that though he had not used the Demon God Transformation, his cultivation base was obviously higher than the couple\'s, at least that of a Fifth Stage expert.
A Fifth Stage expert among humans?
Tang San held his breath and concentrated, trying his best to conceal his own aura. Even without using the Mark inside his body, his ability to hide remained very strong.
"Who are you?" Wang Yanfeng asked warily.
The Tiger-faced Man chuckled lightly, "To exist for the salvation of humanity, born for the rise of mankind."
Wang Yanfeng\'s pupils noticeably contracted, and he almost blurted out: "Redemption?"
Although Tang San outside the window had already guessed as much, when those two words were spoken by Wang Yanfeng, he still couldn\'t help but feel a shock in his heart.
Had Redemption Organization come for them?
When Wang Yanfeng had just started teaching them, Tang San had also pondered whether there was a connection between Wang Yanfeng and the Redemption Organization. After all, there shouldn\'t be many among humans who could reach a cultivation base above the Fourth Stage. But from the current situation, it seemed he knew about Redemption, yet hadn\'t joined them.
Hearing him say the words "Redemption Organization" outright, the Tiger-faced Man nodded slightly, acknowledging with a gentle nod, "Yes, it is us. Guigui told me where you live."
Upon hearing the name "Guigui," Wang Yanfeng was visibly startled, but his tense body did not relax. Instead, he became even more vigilant.
The Tiger-faced Man spoke concisely, "She is one of ours. I think you must have guessed some of it. How easy would it be to establish yourselves in Jiali City without our help?"
Hearing him say this, Wang Yanfeng took a deep breath, and the sharp claws on his palms slowly retracted.
"What do you want with me?" Wang Yanfeng asked in a low voice. Qiu Jing by his side also had a look of confusion in her eyes.
The Tiger-faced Man lowered his voice as well and said, "We humans are struggling to survive on the Demon Monster Land. The vast majority of our clansmen can\'t even awaken their intelligence and are enslaved by them. What do you think about this, Brother Wang?"
Wang Yanfeng gave a bitter smile and said, "What opinion can I have? The Monster Clan and Spirit Clan are so powerful, do you think we could overthrow them?"
The Tiger-faced Man was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you know how the Redemption Organization was first established?"
Wang Yanfeng was taken aback, not understanding why the other party had suddenly changed the subject, and shook his head somewhat bewilderedly.
The Tiger-faced Man\'s voice grew even deeper, "Because those of us who have the ability of Demon God Transformation, we all have no mothers. The desire to avenge our mothers brought us together. Back then, the wish for redemption was that one day, our children could have mothers."
Upon hearing this, whether it was Wang Yanfeng and Qiu Jing or Tang San outside the window, almost all of them were shaken to their core. Qiu Jing\'s eyes reddened in an instant.
Indeed, humans who have the Demon God Transformation and become vassals of the Monster Clan, Spirit Clan, almost all lack mothers. Only if both parents are human vassals might their children have mothers. But the first generation of humans who had the Demon God Transformation Ability, did they even have such a chance?
Their mothers were violated by the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan and that\'s how they were born. And their mothers were brutally killed the moment they awakened their Demon God Transformation.
The Tiger-faced Man continued, "I was confused when I first awakened. After I gained intelligence, I even thought that if my mother didn\'t have to die and I could always be with her, I would rather not have this power, this intelligence. Even if it meant living on in a muddled existence, at least, I could still be with her. And it was the emergence of this thought that filled my heart with even more pain and overwhelming hatred. In my mind, the image of her has already blurred, and I can\'t even remember what she looked like. I can\'t even locate where her skeleton lies now."
"Every member of us redeemers is a revenger. Yes, you\'re right. The Monster Clan and Spirit Clan are so powerful; what can we do with our meager strength? Can we overthrow their rule? It seems completely unrealistic now. But if we can\'t overthrow them, does that mean we don\'t resist? Just let them butcher us and kill our loved ones and clansmen?"
"Do you know that within some large Monster Clan communities, some of our female clansmen who have secretly awakened their intelligence, they offer themselves willingly to the Monsters to seduce them, all for the sake of birthing children with the Demon God Transformation Ability. Even though they are well aware that once their children awaken their power they will die, they still go ahead without hesitation. There was once such a mother who told us, after her death, to take her child to join Redemption, not for vengeance, but to give our human race a bit more hope."
Wang Yanfeng listened to his narration in silence, dismissing his Wind Wolf Transformation, he said with a calm expression, "Why tell me all this? I\'ve seen things that are even more tragic than what you\'ve described."
"And then what?" the Tiger-faced Man said, "After seeing so much, have you become numb?"
Wang Yanfeng calmly said, "What else?"
The Tiger-faced Man said gravely, "Join us. Help us redeem more people."
"Redeem more people?" Wang Yanfeng laughed at himself, "You know as well as I do the situation with the Demon God Transformation. With the cultivation of Demon God Transformation, to what extent can we achieve? The continuation of bloodlines among humans, the intensity of the Demon God Transformation bloodline will fade. What you can do is nothing more than some assassinations, what else is there?"
The Tiger-faced Man said in a deep voice, "When I first joined Redemption, I thought so too, and at that time all I wanted was vengeance. It seemed enough for me. But later, I realized that Redemption is not just that. We are creating a world of our own; I can\'t tell you the specifics. But what I can tell you is that the goal of Redemption has never been about assassinations or being an organization of killers. It\'s about enabling humans to live better lives. Yes, our power is limited right now, and the number of people we can help is limited. But we believe that as long as we persist, we will see the dawn."
Wang Yanfeng\'s body trembled slightly; the phrase about creating their own world truly touched him.
"Do you know what it means to be discovered as a member of Redemption?" Wang Yanfeng said with a frown.
