Xi Ji purposely walked in the direction where Hong Yi was facing. His expression immediately changed when he saw Hong Yi's face.
"Isn't … isn't this the embodiment of the Heavens?" Xi Ji said in fear.
"What embodiment?" Zhu Minglang laughed coldly.
Was this Hong Yi worthy of being the embodiment of the Heavens?
Strictly speaking, he was the embodiment of the Heavens. This Xi Ji was a typical example of pretending to be dumb. Zhu Minglang did not believe a Sword Immortal Nangong would be this stupid … unless Hong Yi did not ask Xi Ji for his lifespan.
However, if he did not ask for his lifespan, he must have asked for something else.
"One day, when I was wandering outside, an immortal suddenly came to me and gave me a cultivation immortal fruit. It helped me break through from a Quasi-Divine Lord to a Lower Divine Lord. This immortal was him. All this time, this little immortal thought that he was an incarnation of the heavens." Xi Ji said.
"What did he ask you for?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"He told me that he was helping the Heavens, so he had been moving around in the mortal world. However, it was inevitable that he would leave traces behind, and some people would recognize his identity. Therefore, he asked me to protect him with my authority," Xi Ji replied.
"So you used such a ridiculous excuse to deceive yourself, and kept receiving 'benefits' from him until you reached the cultivation of the middle-level of Shen Jun?" Zhu Minglang said coldly.
Xi Ji was a middle-level of Shen Jun. His cultivation was relatively high.
However, her cultivation was obviously mixed with Xie Cang's water!
It was obvious that Hong Yi was not making a deal with Xi Ji, but bribing him!
The two brothers, Hong Mo and Hong Yi, had been getting away with it. It was obvious that they had bribed many Immortals. Most of the Immortals did not pay any price, and even received a lot of benefits from them. Therefore, they were protecting the evil Immortals!
"I have always been searching for the Heavenly Dao, and have always adhered to my cultivation. I have never done anything that offends the Heavens …" Xi Ji said with a serious expression.
"His name is Hong Yi, and he specializes in collecting people's lifespans. Moreover, it is the lifespans of good people and good cultivators in the world. He has angered the heavens, and the heavens have ordered me to kill him and thoroughly investigate this matter. Before Hong Yi died, he confessed to me that he sought your protection in the mortal world and relied on you to escape the patrols of the other Orthodox Gods. You, Sword Immortal Nangong, have played a huge part in allowing him to live freely until now! "Zhu Minglang said.
"Xiao Xian doesn't know." Xi Ji's Heavenly Soul was very calm and insisted that she didn't know.
"If I tell you now, do you know?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Understood."
"In that case, do you have any objections if I take away the cultivation you obtained through bribery?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Xi Ji glanced at Hong Yi's head.
She could refuse, but this refusal naturally meant that she would have to confront this god who possessed such great divine power.
Xi Jiruo had a clear conscience, or she had absolute confidence that the other party wouldn't be able to get hold of her other weak points. She could indeed fight head-on, and the other party wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
However, Xi Ji was worried that there would be problems with his Earth Soul and Human Soul.
The Heavenly Soul grabbed once.
The Earth Soul grabbed once.
The Human Soul grabbed once again.
It was impossible for each of the three souls to be flawless. If a god with such power wanted to keep an eye on him, he would definitely be able to do something.
"Xiao Xian is willing to sacrifice one stage." Xi Ji's Heavenly Soul hesitated for a while before giving this compromise.
"Demote from the middle to the lower …"
"Yes."
"Alright, since you don't know, I'll let you off. Oh right, your disciple Lin Wu's actions are not as simple as not knowing," Zhu Minglang said.
"Her death is not to be regretted," Xi Ji's Heavenly Soul said coldly.
As expected of a Heavenly Soul, he had no feelings and didn't care about his friends and family.
This was completely different from how Xi Ji valued Lin Wu. It could be seen that his Heavenly Soul was also afraid that his Heavenly Soul would be implicated by Lin Wu.
"Alright, let's do it." Zhu Minglang gestured for him to start.
Xi Ji didn't hesitate.
In order to not be implicated, she cut off her lizard tail and sacrificed one stage of her cultivation.
"You can go now," Zhu Minglang said.
Xi Ji nodded and didn't say anything else.
Zhu Minglang looked at the departing figure of Xi Ji's Heavenly Soul.
This Xi Ji was obviously very difficult to deal with, but it was also very difficult for Hong Mo to use his Fu Chen God's ability to punish her.
He relied on Hong Yi's death to scare her away by one stage of her cultivation.
Hoplite should also deprive her of a portion of her Divine Power.
After all, she was Sword Immortal Nangong. Even if he wanted to deal with her, he had to do it step by step.
…
Under the quiet night, the long alley was brightly lit.
In front of the vermillion door, Hong Yi stood there without moving for a long time.
At this moment, the door in the house opened by itself. Hong Mo, who was wearing a simple hemp garment, walked out. He smiled at Hong Yi and said, "Why are you standing outside for so long? Why are you in a daze? I made a plate of vegetarian dumplings for you. Come and eat …"
Halfway through his sentence, Hong Mo realized that something was wrong with his younger brother.
He walked closer and looked at Hong Yi, whose eyes were listless and his entire body was stiff and motionless.
A gust of wind blew over from the other end of the alley. It passed through the door and across the courtyard. At the same time, it blew over the motionless Hong Yi.
Hong Yi fell straight onto Hong Mo's body. Hong Mo hugged him and instantly felt the temperature of Hong Yi's body. It was extremely cold. It was the temperature of a dead person!
Hong Mo took a deep breath. The smile on his face completely disappeared. It was replaced by a terrifying ghastly expression!
He hugged Hong Yi's back tightly with both hands and looked at the night sky with his cold eyes.
The night sky was densely covered with stars. The splendor of the seven stars was even more clearly reflected in the night sky …
Hong Mo's eyes seemed to be searching for traces left behind by a certain Righteous God.
However, there weren't many traces left behind.
He had been in the house the entire time. He even heard the sound of Hong Yi's footsteps. However, when Hong Mo was scooping the soup, his younger brother died in front of the door. He died under the powerful divine power of a certain Righteous God!
He could feel that the other party's magic power was also extremely high!
This was a warning to him!
This was a punishment to him!
After returning to the house, Hong Mo placed his younger brother on the opposite side of the table. He found a stick and supported his younger brother's waist.
Hong Mo picked up the plate of dumplings and began to gobble them down. He didn't even need to know what they tasted like.
After eating, he glanced at the untouched plate of dumplings in front of his younger brother.
Suddenly, Hong Mo pulled the plate of vegetarian dumplings over and ate them for his younger brother.
He wiped away his tears as he ate. After he finished eating, the table was filled with leftovers. It was a complete mess.
Resentment and anger continued to surge in his heart. Hong Mo's scarlet eyes were filled with boundless hatred …
"Everything you have, I will rob you clean."
"You'll suffer a fate worse than death for making me your enemy!"
