As long as Xiao Yang dared to agree, they would definitely be able to flip the sky upside down.
Xiao Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly rejected, "Patriarch Zhao, I'm insignificant and useless. I'm really not worthy of your daughter. If we're fated to be together, we'll naturally be together. Please don't blame me."
Hearing Xiao Yang's sincere refusal, Patriarch Zhao didn't dare to push any further. He could only sigh, looking at the woman surnamed Zhao with heartache, "Daughter, Xiao Yang is a dragon among men, there are many people who like him, why hang yourself on a single tree? Come, come back with me, if fate wills it, you will definitely be together, if not, why bother begging?"
The woman surnamed Zhao's face was pale, tears welling up in her eyes. She pursed her lips and couldn't help sobbing, stomping her foot, looking at Xiao Yang bitterly, then turned and ran out of the courtyard.
Patriarch Zhao looked again, seeing Xiao Yang's face full of self-blame and guilt, he couldn't bear to scold Xiao Yang, sighing again and leaving.
In the Yihong Courtyard, only Xiao Yang, Gu Shanhe, Li Hongwei, and the others were left.
Xiao Yang controlled Li Hongwei to come forward. At this time, Li Hongwei was still poisoned, this kind of poison could only be administered by Xiao Yang, and only Xiao Yang could detoxify it. It was because of this poison that Xiao Yang could use the Heaven Devouring Poison Tyrant Art to control Li Hongwei.
Gu Shanhe and the others looked at Xiao Yang in confusion, not knowing what Xiao Yang meant. Xiao Yang slowly said, "I can detoxify the poison in Li Hongwei's body, after detoxifying, he will be an ordinary person, estimated to have thirty years of life left, do you think we should kill him or let him go?"
In fact, whether they killed or let him go, it wouldn't be a loss to Gu Shanhe and the others.
Listening to Xiao Yang's explanation and tone, it seemed to be leaning towards letting him go.
Thus, they might as well go along with Xiao Yang's wishes and said calmly, "The Li family's evil has already been taught a lesson, and Li Hongwei has also been punished for his wrongdoings. Why don't we just let him live the rest of his life for the next thirty years?"
"Yes, Li Hongwei's cooperation was indispensable for the success of this mission. We should give him a chance."
They advised each other.
Xiao Yang nodded. Frowning slightly, he said calmly, "Then let's see what Li Hongwei thinks."
He once again circulated the Heaven Devouring Poison Tyrant Secret Art. He reached out with one hand and grabbed Li Hongwei's head, constantly controlling the transfer of the poison in Li Hongwei's body. Both of their bodies emitted poisonous gas.
After more than ten breaths of time, Xiao Yang slowly withdrew his hand. Standing to the side, he calmly looked at Li Hongwei and asked, "Li Hongwei, the Li family has been destroyed. Flame City will be ruled by the five great families. Now that your cultivation is crippled, you still have thirty years to live. Do you choose to live in seclusion or do you choose to take revenge?"
The poison in Li Hongwei's body had just been removed, so he was still a little delirious. When he opened his blurry eyes, he saw Xiao Yang and the others. Xiao Yang's question floated into his ears.
He was stunned for a while before gradually stabilizing his mind and regaining his consciousness. His expression was calm, and his memories of cooperating with Xiao Yang and the others also came back. He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with despair.
"The Li family has been destroyed, and I'm already an ordinary person. Whether it's the Li family or myself, it can be said that we reap what we sow. Other than leaving, what else can we do?"
Li Hongwei faintly sighed, his expression desolate.
The Li Family that he belonged to was the overlord of Flame City. They were unshakable giants. Now, they had fallen just like that. Even the unparalleled Blood Ancestor had fallen. What kind of storm could he, who was all alone, stir up?
What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
"Thank you all for not killing me. I still have thirty years to live an ordinary life. I'm already satisfied. I'll take my leave now."
Li Hongwei was also disheartened. Now that things had developed to this point, there was no room for choice. He cupped his fists towards Xiao Yang and the others, then turned and left.
This matter was over, but the Li family's black-robed guards were still under control.
Xiao Yang once again asked everyone, "The Li family's black-robed guards are still under control. Do you have any good ideas about how to deal with them?"
Gu Shanqing pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Why don't we let them go?"
Gu Shanhe glared at him in annoyance and snorted, "Please, they have several third level Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators. Just the number of Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators is more than ten. If we let them go, they'll gather and cause trouble. The entire Flame City will be destroyed."
Gu Shanqing shrunk his neck, not daring to utter another word.
Li Qinghe thought for a moment, then muttered, "Why don't we cripple their cultivation and then let them go?"
There were more than ten of them. Killing them wasn't appropriate. Moreover, each and every one of them was a powerful cultivator. If used properly, they would be a force to be reckoned with. It would be a pity to kill them.
Lan Jiaoye curled her lips and expressed her opinion, "Are you all stupid? Why don't we just control the strong ones and assign the weak ones to the various large families? Isn't that enough? It's fine to let them manage their own people. "
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Lan Jiaoye in shock.
Lan Jiaoye felt their gazes and couldn't help but feel even more pleased. She raised her swan-like neck and hummed an unknown tune. She looked so relaxed and lazy.
"Let's go. Let's go together."
Xiao Yang led them out of the Yihong Courtyard and arrived at the place where the Li Clan's black-robed guards were being held.
These people had been poisoned by an unknown poison and had fainted. If Xiao Yang didn't detoxify them, they would remain unconscious for a long time.
The black-robed guards had a total of thirty-five people. Two of them were third level Martial Ancestor Realm, three were second level Martial Ancestor Realm, and five were Martial Ancestor Realm. As for the rest, although they weren't Martial Ancestor Realm, the lowest was an eighth level Martial Master.
This was an incomparably powerful force, enough to wipe out the entire Flame City. If the Li Clan had such a force, Xiao Yang and the other Clan Leaders' alliance would have been defeated long ago.
For safety's sake, Xiao Yang took out the Deity Striking Whip and restrained the two third level Martial Ancestor Realm. Then, he activated the Heaven Devouring Poison Skill and absorbed the poison from their bodies, waking them up.
When the two of them woke up and saw Xiao Yang, they couldn't help but roar in anger. Their eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred. They stared fiercely at Xiao Yang, wanting nothing more than to eat Xiao Yang alive.
"Brat, it's you, bastard. You dared to trick us. You're dead meat. Under the heavens, there's no way for you to live. We'll hunt you down and kill you."
Their expressions were resolute as they roared at Xiao Yang. They even wanted to struggle and attack Xiao Yang. Unfortunately, they were tied up by the Deity Striking Whip and couldn't use their limbs.
Xiao Yang frowned and glanced at them with dissatisfaction. The corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a mocking smile.
