Angry as he was, Su Heng did not rashly take action.
On one hand, the area of Baihua County was not small, and making a move now could easily startle the targets and allow some of them to escape.
On the other hand,
as Su Heng's fame rose, there would always be some reckless individuals wanting to test him.
His current subordinates were insufficient for the situation at hand. This group of people could be captured entirely, the Seed of Destruction could modify their flesh, and the scriptures from the Lai's Hidden Scripture to reshape their consciousness. After this combination of punches, no matter who they were before—fierce bandits or madmen—they would all become his loyal followers.
Although doing this was somewhat inhumane,
Su Heng had always had a flexible moral baseline, especially since these people were not exactly upright citizens themselves.
Accomplishing such tasks gave Su Heng no moral burden whatsoever.
