The Void Creatures tried to leave a venomous threat, but Yun Lintian didn't seem to care.
The black flames continued to burn, consuming the Void Creatures' bodies, reducing them to ashes. Soon, nothing remained of the two powerful creatures but a faint wisp of smoke that dissipated into the void.
Yun Lintian lowered his spear, its black light fading as he deactivated the Imperishable Flame. He looked at the captives, their faces still pale with fear, but their eyes now filled with hope and gratitude.
He smiled faintly. "It's over," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "You are safe now."
The captives' eyes widened in surprise, and then they erupted in cheers and shouts of joy. Although they had already prepared to die, staying alive was definitely better.
"Thank you, sir," the young man said, bowing deeply with the deepest gratitude. The other captives followed suit.
