"My son, Speechless, was a kind person. Why did you kill him?"
Tyger Li's tone was calm and his eyes were indifferent. It was as though he was asking 'why did you eat instant noodles today'. He had asked such a shocking question that sounded like a bombshell.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned on the spot.
Mu Lengxi looked up in disbelief as she looked at Tyger Li. Her face immediately turned extremely pale.
How could it be possible?
How did he guess that Brother was killed by Brother Xiaobai?
I clearly did not say a thing, nor did I reveal anything?
How did he know?
No, it's impossible for him to know!
He guessed it!
How did he guess?
Could it be that he was certain that I was harboring the murderer, and because of Brother Xiaobai's close relationship with me, with Brother Xiaobai being stronger than Brother Speechless, he determined that Brother Xiaobai was the murderer?
How could that be?
No, it was his words. It was that man's words. Just those few points alone were enough. Just a tiny clue was enough for him to infer what he believed to be the truth. Furthermore, he would firmly believe in his own judgment!
He had already determined that Brother Xiaobai was the murderer.
And the reason why he would ask such a question was because …
Verification?
Oh no!
Mu Lengxi's thoughts raced as she figured out the crux of the matter. She hurriedly reached out her hand to hold Shi Xiaobai back. The reason why Tyger Li had asked the question was not only to confirm the truth, but also to mess with Shi Xiaobai!
However, by the time Mu Lengxi figured it out, it was already too late. Shi Xiaobai had no idea that Mu Lengxi and Sunless were hiding the matter from the world. He never expected that Mu Lengxi was trying her best to hide the truth from him and Speechless's father. When he heard Tyger Li's question, he believed that Tyger Li knew the truth and was questioning him.
Shi Xiaobai was already feeling extremely guilty because of the matter. Furthermore, he was not a person who avoided problems. Therefore, he quickly shook his head and answered, "Sorry, This King does not know the reason either. It's because This King did not want to kill him."
Mu Lengxi's face turned pale. She knew that the matter could not be hidden any longer. Tyger Li had used his ruthless judgment and sinister deception to get the truth out.
A cold killing intent flashed in Tyger Li's eyes. However, his expression remained calm as he said coldly, "You do not know the reason? But you still killed him after all. "
Shi Xiaobai sighed, but he did not know how to explain. He had lost his mind and killed someone. Although it was not voluntary, he had indeed killed the person. How could he be considered a murderer?
Tyrant Li said coldly, "A life for a life. My son's death will be paid with your life. Do you have any objections?"
When Mu Lengxi heard this, she immediately held Shi Xiaobai's hand and shook her head vigorously.
Shi Xiaobai turned his head to indicate for Mu Lengxi not to worry. Following that, he looked at Tyrant Li and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, This King probably cannot pay with his life. However, This King will definitely do his best to make up for his mistakes and pay for his sins."
Shi Xiaobai faced the problem head-on and was willing to shoulder the responsibility. However, he was not a pedantic person. People could still make up for their mistakes by living, but if they committed suicide because of guilt, nothing could be done.
Furthermore, he did not have a good impression of Tyrant Li. Perhaps, he might hold back his animosity on account that he was Speechless and Mu Lengxi's father, but it was impossible for him to sacrifice his life because of a single sentence from Tyrant Li.
In other words, Tyrant Li was not qualified.
Shi Xiaobai did not plan on explaining too much. He only wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly before doing his best to make up for Mu Lengxi and Speechless's mother, as well as the others, so as to redeem himself for his sins.
Tyrant Li narrowed his eyes and said, "A life for a life. It's only right. This Emperor does not need any compensation. All This Emperor needs is your death."
When Mu Lengxi heard this, she took a step forward and stood in front of Shi Xiaobai. She stared angrily at Tyrant Li.
Tyrant Li said with a sneer, "He killed your brother, but you are protecting him and loving him. Don't you feel a tinge of shame?"
With that said, Mu Lengxi felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned even paler. Previously, she was in pain over how she should treat Shi Xiaobai. At that moment, the contradictory and painful problem was mercilessly exposed by Tyrant Li. It left her at a loss for what to do. But even so, Mu Lengxi did not take a single step back.
Shi Xiaobai immediately took two steps forward and stood in front of Mu Lengxi. He said in a deep voice, "Everything is This King's fault. It has nothing to do with her."
Tyrant Li said with a sneer, "You know you are in the wrong, but you do not wish to pay a life for a life for a life. So you are a coward."
Shi Xiaobai responded with silence. He did not wish to be entangled with such an explanation. That was because no matter what he said, Tyrant Li would not listen to him. No matter how righteous the excuse of being afraid of death was, it was all pretentious.
Tyrant Li's eyes were cold as he said, "Since you do not wish to commit suicide and pay a life for a life, I'll be the one to kill you."
Shi Xiaobai's expression turned stern.
Tyrant Li suddenly turned his head and shouted towards the outside of the yard, "Reverend Misery Sea, can you help This Emperor kill this scum?"
Just as his voice faded, a suppressive and solemn 'Amitabha' resounded. The voice was loud and clear like a morning bell or evening drum. It reverberated through one's heart.
A golden Buddha suddenly descended from the sky!
The golden Buddha landed on the ground and the golden light immediately dissipated, revealing its true appearance. It was an old monk dressed in a kasaya with a face full of wrinkles. The old monk's figure was rather thin, but his face was plump. His two earlobes were large and just from his face, he resembled the Buddha statue.
"Amitabha."
Reverend Misery Sea held his palms together and landed between Tyrant Li and Shi Xiaobai. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were benevolent. He looked like a benevolent accomplished monk.
Tyrant Li nodded at the old monk and said sincerely, "Reverend, please slay this scum!"
Mu Lengxi sized up the old monk as her pupils gradually dilated. She recalled who Reverend Misery Sea was!
She was well-read and had once seen the introduction of this person in a Buddhist book.
Reverend Misery Sea was rumored to be the reincarnation of Buddha. He was born at the Buddhist Relic realm, equivalent to the Psionic Domain realm in the psionic cultivation system. He was now in his eighties and his strength was unfathomable. He had few opponents in the present world but he was devoted to Buddhism. He abstained from meat and cultivated in seclusion in Shaolin Monastery. He stood aloof from worldly affairs.
Rumor had it that Reverend Misery Sea was not only proficient in the Buddhist Dharma, he was also proficient in Shaolin martial arts. He was the strongest person in Shaolin in the past few millennia. His strength could be compared to S Class heroes like Thunder Emperor and Tyrant. He was known as a reclusive expert, a Buddha of the mortal world.
Why was Reverend Misery Sea here?
Her father was requesting Reverend Misery Sea to kill Shi Xiaobai?
Mu Lengxi immediately panicked.
Although Shi Xiaobai was an oddity in the Psionic Mortal Realm and had the strength to fight someone at the Psionic Might Realm, he would only be crushed if he fought someone at the Psionic Imperial Realm. There was no other possibility.
This was because the Psionic Imperial Realm was the greatest dividing line in the psionic cultivation system. A Psionic Imperial Realm could fight ten Psionic Domain Realm experts. As for Shi Xiaobai, he would probably need to use all his strength to fight a Psionic Imperial Realm expert. How could there be any chance of getting lucky against a Psionic Imperial Realm expert?
Furthermore, Reverend Misery Sea was not an ordinary Psionic Imperial Realm expert. He was a top expert among Psionic Imperial Realm experts. He could be compared to titled Psionic Imperial Realm experts like Thunder Emperor and Tyrant. Reverend Misery Sea alone could defeat ten ordinary Psionic Imperial Realm experts. What sort of concept was that?
Even a hundred Shi Xiaobais added together would not be Reverend Misery Sea's match!
If Reverend Misery Sea were to attack, Shi Xiaobai would definitely be instantly killed!
Shi Xiaobai also sensed the powerful aura that Reverend Misery Sea emitted. It was as though he was facing Hisith and the Infernal Queen. He could not even muster the strength to resist.
Shi Xiaobai's expression turned solemn. If the old monk were to attack, how was he to respond?
Shi Xiaobai was not a person who would easily give up. He would absolutely not give up a battle just because his opponent was undefeatable. He was already mentally prepared for battle.
However, Reverend Misery Sea had a compassionate look on his face. He said to Tyger Li, "Amitabha, This Penniless Monk never kills."
Tyger Li said in a deep voice, "This bandit killed my son. His sins are heinous. Reverend, please help him!"
Reverend Misery Sea shook his head and smiled. He said softly, "Revenge breeds revenge. When will there be an end to it? Benefactor Li, put it down. "
Shi Xiaobai and Mu Lengxi were dumbfounded when they heard this. They never expected that Reverend Misery Sea was an accomplished monk. He was so understanding and compassionate.
Shi Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief. Mu Lengxi also felt relieved. She thought to herself that if she were to pass by Shaolin Monastery when she was traveling, she would definitely donate more incense money!
