Chapter 260: The Massacre Begins


    Blitzing around the region, Lex found that it was extremelyrge and even with his speed would take him a while to get around. While doing so, he sought out any cultivator rted to the Blood Sword Group and struck them down without remorse.


    Their numbers were in the thousands, while it became clear to Lex that they hadplete control over the region, while he was also impressed by the size and prosperity of the region.


    It wasn''t because of the Blood Sword Group, as the region would be much better off without them doing as they pleased and forcing the citizens to pay taxes to them, but because of the density of energy.


    The closer they got to the centre of the Lower ins, the denser the energy became, while the more resources and opportunities could be found. Thend was very fertile and could also rapidly grow nts, while the people were naturally strong and healthy, so lived extended lifetimes.


    As long as they obeyed the Blood Sword Group, they wouldn''t suffer much and although poverty and suffering were experienced everywhere, the towns in the region seemed to be flourishing.


    However, the same couldn''t be said for the rest of the region and those that weren''t as fortunate.


    One thing that Lex detested that he found in the region and was likely to find across the continent, was very. ve marks were simr to the marks that he ced on the bandits to make them obedient to the bandits, but were ced on the ves without their free will.


    ve marks were permanent and would be ced onto young ves, then they could be sold and used as they pleased, passing on control of the ve mark to the next.


    The only way to get rid of one''s ve mark was to kill their master and the one that initially ced the ve mark on them, while the mark would also still be visible.


    Anyone with the mark was immediately mocked, seen as inferior and not epted into the towns, schools, cultivation sects or anywhere else. Their life would be ruined.


    very had be quite normal, and those that were born from ves, at birth would have a ve mark ced on them, while being a ve trader was more profitable than being a merchant at times.


    It was disgusting.


    Lex had seen things like this before, but not on such arge scale that was epted as the norm.


    Anyone involved in such things that he saw, he would ughter, but he was left with a group made up of a few hundred ves and he didn''t know what to do with them.


    Even if he gave them resources and money, they were still too weak and had the ve marks, so would never be able to live normal lives again.


    The biggest ve owners, ve traders and users of ves were the rich and the Blood Sword Group, but Lex was about to make sure that such things never ur again in this region.


    It would be hard to make such changes alone, while he also needed to keep those ves that he was harbouring safe, so he called out Ang and E.


    Seeing all the people in rags and how weak and injured they were, they were immediately saddened and after hearing from Lex what was happening in the region, and hearing their stories, they were eager to help.


    "I will handle the Blood Sword Group, but I will leave the towns and gathering the ves to you two. Kill any ve masters or those that are skilled in markings and were involved in making the ve marks, but also be careful and keep these people safe," instructed Lex.


    "Are you sure you want to take them on alone?" asked Ang, who was confident in Lex''s abilities, but knew that he wasn''t invincible.


    "Yes, just make try your best to do the task I have left for you guys,"


    Looking back at all the children and people that were mistreated merely because they were born into a lineage of very, Lex felt rage burning within himself. The children kind of reminded him of the orphanage that his master had been in, and so did the children that were in the orphanage Zeek was from.


    Saving everyone was impossible and Lex''s main goals were to grow stronger and unlock all the mysteries about himself, E and the universe, however, he couldn''t ignore the things that were happening to him.


    He was already nning on destroying the Blood Sword Group for daring to mess with him, but now he was even angrier with them and was going to make sure that none of them made it out of the region alive.


    Lex, the mysterious figure that wore white robes was a ray of hope, a hero, that appeared to the ves when they needed him the most. He wore Kano to conceal his face and because he preferred to do so, while he could also use it to fly around the region.


    They all praised and thanked him gratefully, but he had already disappeared and appreciated their thanks, but didn''t want them to feel indebted to him.


    Freeing them was also freeing himself from any guilt or regret that he had in his heart, and he was sure that he had left them in capable hands as he dashed off into the distance.


    The towns wererge and filled with people that owned ves and lived carefree and careless lives, so the best thing for Lex to do was to grant such ves, freedom and the opportunity to fight back.


    It would take too long to take on the role of judge, jury and executioner, while killing everyone in the region that had done anything bad would be a waste of time, but Lex was definitely going to crush the Blood Sword Group.


    Activating his Self-Cloning Eye, the massacre began and Lex sent his clones around the region and instructed them to eliminate anyone and everything rted to the Blood Sword Group.
