"Thank you, Master, for avenging our sacrificed sisters!" Their voices echoed in the hall, and even the other members of the Ninth Heaven Division began to shout. Obviously, they admired and sympathized with the Great Heaven Division for the sacrifices they had made to protect the Vulture Palace.
Seeing their excited faces, Song Qingshu sighed inwardly. In the past few months, the Great Heaven Division had defended the Vulture Palace with the help of the geographical advantage. During this period, they had fought many bloody battles and sacrificed many of their comrades. However, in the original work, Xuzhu had simply bypassed those troublemakers and even pulled out the Life-Death Notes for them. It was so pedantic and ridiculous.
At that time, those Island Lords and Cave Masters had shed tears of gratitude and said that they would go through fire and water for Xuzhu in the future. However, without any restrictions, if something changed in the future, how could these wily old foxes really risk their lives for Xuzhu?
As for the people of the Vulture Palace, they must have been very disappointed when they saw this result. However, Xuzhu was the Master, so even if they were dissatisfied, they could only suppress it in their hearts.
As for the people of the Vulture Palace, they were sincerely convinced by Xuzhu. How could the people of the Vulture Palace not have any thoughts about it?
"Master, please have mercy on us!" As if they could sense the faint killing intent gathering in the air, the Island Masters and Cave Masters kowtowed one after another as if they were pounding garlic. They had witnessed a group of people with martial arts similar to theirs charge out, only to be easily killed in an instant. Who would still dare to think of rebelling?
Only then did Song Qingshu say, "Since you didn't run away just now, it is obvious that your sins are not as serious as those people. At the same time, you are also repentant. In this case, you will be flogged 40 times and then kowtow to the sacrificed sisters of the Great Heaven Division to apologize."
"Thank you, Master, for your mercy! Thank you, Master!" The group of people cried tears of joy. They originally thought that they would be skinned alive, but they didn't expect that the punishment would be lighter than they had imagined. Although kowtowing to those girls was a bit shameful, losing face was nothing compared to losing their lives or having their limbs broken.
The palace servants of the Vulture Palace had no objections. Killing that bunch of people just now had already allowed them to avenge the blood feud they had accumulated over this period of time.
Song Qingshu nodded. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey was enough. He didn't want these Island Masters and Cave Masters to suffer too much. After all, he still needed them to fight back against Li Liangzuo.
However, he wouldn't be stupid enough to remove the Life-Death Notes from them again. The Life-Death Notes were indeed an effective way to control them. As long as the rewards and punishments were clear and they weren't too temperamental, they wouldn't rebel. At the very least, even if they were as temperamental as Grandma Tong, they would only rebel when something went wrong with her cultivation.
At this moment, someone screamed shrilly and rolled out of the crowd, "My … my Life-Death Notes are activated!" As he spoke, he clawed at his face. Soon, his clawed hands left streaks of blood. Soon, his body was drenched in blood.
"It's the big monster of the Twin Monsters of Pearl Cliff!" Someone beside him shouted out his identity.
"Big brother, big brother!" The Second Monster of the Pearl Cliff Duo was anxiously pacing around, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, he saw Song QingShu at the side, and like a drowning man who had found a life-saving straw, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Supreme Lord, please save my big brother."
Song QingShu exclaimed in his heart, "Just in time." He helped Ju Jian up from his bosom and stood to the side, then walked over. Seeing that the Pearl Cliff Great Monster was desperately scratching its chest, he instantly sealed its acupoints, then took out a small pill for it to swallow. Then, he circulated his qi to help the pill's efficacy disperse, and the Pearl Cliff Great Monster gradually calmed down.
"It's the antidote to the Life-Death Notes!" Everyone's eyes widened. In fact, they didn't have much hope. This new Lord was good at martial arts, not medicine. They didn't know when their Life-Death Talismans became the talismans of death. However, now that they saw that he had the antidote, they couldn't help but reignite their hope of survival.
Song QingShu stood up and lightly said, "This is only a temporary antidote. It can only suppress the poison in your body for a year. However, you don't need to be too disappointed. From now on, as long as you can complete the missions I give you, I will give you the antidote. Don't worry, my missions won't be as difficult as Old Lady Tong's."
"Thank you for your grace, My Lord!" The group of people kowtowed and thanked him. As for his criticism of Heavenly Mountain Tonglao, even the people of Jiutian Nine Divisions didn't think there was anything wrong with his words.
Soon, the people of Jiutian Nine Divisions disarmed the island masters and cave masters and escorted them to the prison.
Only then did Song Qingshu turn to look at the rest of the people. "Now it's your turn."
The leader of the Vajra faction hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Master, we didn't hurt a single hair of the lady in the Vulture Palace. Please, Young Master, please …"
Zhang San, Li Si, Murong Fu, and the others looked askance at him. They thought, 'You're a grandmaster after all, isn't it a little too much to be so servile?'
Song Qingshu snorted. "Is that so? But before I went up the mountain, I saw your disciples bullying a little girl. I'm sure you've done this many times?"
Ah Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.
Realizing that he was standing up for her, she was happy and terrified at the same time. Coupled with her natural shyness, she couldn't help but feel awkward in front of so many people. She blushed and didn't know where to put her hands.
Bai Wanjian saw this and knew what was going on. He was furious. "Leader of the Vajra faction, how dare you let your people bully my daughter?"
The leader of the Vajra faction cursed in his heart. 'If your daughter hadn't found such a powerful backer, I would have slapped you to death for talking to me like this.'
However, he didn't dare to show the slightest emotion. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Young Master Bai, please forgive me. My people had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I'll chop off their third leg when I get back."
Song Qingshu said calmly, "There's no need for that. I've already taken care of them."
"Yes, yes, yes. They didn't have eyes and deserved to die." The leader of the Vajra faction nodded and bowed. "I wonder if the Princess has been well recently. The Great Khan and the Ruyang Prince miss her so much that they've asked about her a few times."
Song Qingshu smiled faintly and said, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll kill you, so you brought up the Princess?"
"No, no," the leader of the Vajra faction said hurriedly. "We're the Princess' subordinates, so we're naturally your subordinates as well. If you want our lives, you don't have to do it yourself. Just say the word, and we'll offer our lives."
Li Si, who had always been straightforward, couldn't stand it anymore. "Bootlicker, you stink."
The leader of the Vajra faction glared at him. "Hmph, Young Master, you're a heavenly genius. You're an immortal who's descended to the mortal world. It's a blessing that you've cultivated for a few lifetimes to be able to serve under Young Master. What do you know?"
This time, even Song Qingshu couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!"
The leader of the Vajra faction was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, yes. I'll get out now."
