The swords and sabers of the Imperial Guards stopped beside Xie Tian. They raised their heads and looked at the ashen-faced Xu Zhantang in confusion.
"I just entered the state of enlightenment. He didn't disturb me." Xu Zhantang took a deep breath and suppressed his complicated emotions. "He's also a genius. Even if I want to kill him, I have to wait for him to wake up. I don't want to owe a dead man a favor!"
The old eunuch sneered and looked at Xu Batian.
Xu Batian turned his head and didn't dare to look at the old eunuch. He knew very well why the old eunuch was looking at him.
Xu Zhantang was still in a state of extreme arrogance. He didn't know that if the battle continued, he would only be beaten to a pulp by Xie Tian's monstrous talent. And now, this number one genius of the Kingdom of Song who didn't know anything was foolishly stopping the old eunuch from eliminating the most threatening opponent for him.
"Alright." The old eunuch smiled meaningfully. The Emperor's goal had been achieved. Xie Tian would die without a doubt. He was very willing to watch Xu Zhantang's foolish pretense. Presumably, the Emperor, who loved watching dramas, also thought the same …
After half an hour, Xie Tian opened his red eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Xu Zhantang and said, "Inner Qi Realm Level 3 is indeed powerful. Unfortunately, it's still lacking a little …"
Xu Zhantang's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and asked, "Lacking what?"
Xie Tian didn't answer. He turned his red eyes to the old eunuch.
In fact, he had long left the state of enlightenment. The reason why he was silent was to summarize the thoughts of the past few days.
The Emperor was very tall and powerful. Princess Qingping was very mysterious and beautiful. How similar were they to Xie Shuai and Xie Yun of the Xie family?
He wanted me to be the Emperor's son-in-law and wanted to investigate my identity. These two things were originally very normal. Wasn't the order of the order reversed?
This matter couldn't be pondered because Xie Tian understood everything after a little thought. He looked at the defeated Xu Batian and smiled. The blood in his eyes almost dripped out.
Suppressing the roaring anger and hatred in his heart, Xie Tian softly asked the old eunuch, "I should be the knife that kills. After killing, I'll become blunt and useless, and can be discarded as trash, right?"
The old eunuch's eyes narrowed into a smile, but he did not say a word. Xie Tian nodded, understanding the other party's meaning. What can you do?
"I really can't do anything..." Xie Tian sighed. Even the terrifying Xu family in Wen Shui's mouth had been wantonly kneaded by the Emperor. He was only a twelve-year-old country bumpkin. Other than tasting resentment and anger in his heart, what else could he do?
"Xie Tian, what are you talking about?" Xu Zhantang frowned and asked again.
"I'm not surprised, because I experienced it once more than two months ago."
Xie Tian slowly stood up and looked down at himself. He found that his clothes were in tatters and his trousers had become shorts. He smiled and said, "The person who killed me was not even as high as the soldiers next to me. But thinking about it, it's normal. At that time, I was only a dog in the eyes of others."
"Save these words for the ghosts in the underworld."
The old eunuch smiled indifferently and signaled for the imperial guards to grab Xie Tian's arm. At the same time, they kicked Xie Tian's knees. But no matter how much force they used, the awakened Xie Tian could not kneel.
"But now, I am a human." Xie Tian looked up at the sky, his heart filled with anger. He asked seriously, "I want to ask, when you did these things, did you consider my feelings?"
"Execute!"
The old eunuch flicked his sleeves and turned around. The imperial guards raised their weapons.
"Stop!"
A weak but unusually firm voice once again caused the imperial guards' weapons to freeze.
The old eunuch was furious. He turned around angrily and was stunned when he saw who it was.
"I, cough cough …" Elder Wen Shui, who was sitting in the wheelchair, looked pale. He coughed a few times and shouted, "I can prove that Xie Tian is not a killer!"
Everyone on the high platform noticed Elder Wen Shui's strange behavior. The black-clothed elder of the Bladesoul Sect was even more shocked and asked urgently, "Elder Wen Shui, your cultivation!"
Wen Shui shook his head and did not answer. He stood up from the wheelchair and walked to the arena. He caressed Xie Tian's little head and sighed pitifully, "Child, you have suffered."
Xie Tian did not speak, his eyes red like blood.
"Do you know," Wen Shui faced the old eunuch and said gently, "If it was not for Xie Tian, I would not have lost my cultivation but my life."
"Elder Wen Shui, who is so daring to harm you!" The black-clothed elder's eyes turned red as he shouted.
Not only him, many people were furious. Even the black-clothed elder of the Jade Shadow Pavilion frowned and waited for Wen Shui to say the name of the murderer.
The old eunuch's face was gloomy. He knew Wen Shui very well. It could be said that Wen Shui's reputation in Jianghu was several times better than Elder Gong's. This kind old man had a kind face, knew how to deal with things, never lied, and was highly respected in both the underworld and the underworld. If he testified for Xie Tian, then His Majesty's plan …
"Elder Wen Shui, you just said that you can prove that Xie Tian is not a killer?"
Wen Shui nodded and sighed, "If it was not for Xie Tian, I would have fallen off the cliff and become a beast's food."
The old eunuch looked back and found that although there was a smile on the Emperor's face, his eyes were extremely cold. He shook his head and said, "Elder Wen Shui, this does not prove anything."
Wen Shui ignored him and stood on the arena, cupped his fists and shouted, "I believe many people here recognize my old face and know that the Old Man never lies. Now, I will tell you everything, please judge."
"Elder Wen Shui, you …" The old eunuch was slightly angry.
"Lord Chief Steward, please calm down for a moment."
Wen Shui interrupted the old eunuch and shouted, "I met Xie Tian at the Brute Force Competition and followed him all the way to the River West Corridor. At the Yin Shen Peak, he was besieged by 16 River West Bandits. He killed 15 of them and let one go. This person did not attack. At the Yin Shen Fort, he was besieged by 76 people and killed them all. After that, he risked his life to save me at the back cliff of the Yin Shen Peak. "
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Elder Wen Shui was indeed testifying for Xie Tian, but this testimony was forcing Xie Tian to be a killer!
The old eunuch had a bad feeling. At this moment, Wen Shui asked again, "Everyone, there have been many killer cultivators in the Jianghu of the Kingdom of Song, but have you ever heard of any killer cultivator choosing to kill or any killer cultivator risking their own safety to save others?"
Everyone suddenly realized that if what Wen Shui said was true, Xie Tian was really different from the killer cultivators who killed on sight.
"Hehe, Elder Wen Shui, this person is extremely cunning. Maybe he found out that you were following him and did it on purpose?" The old eunuch saw everyone hesitating and became anxious. He asked with a cold smile.
Wen Shui laughed and said, "Chief, please tell me, other than killing, can a killer cultivator who has lost his humanity and rationality think about other things?"
"Uh …"
"I know that Xie Tian has killed many people, and I even saw it with my own eyes." Wen Shui sighed and said slowly, "At that time, I also thought that he was a killer cultivator, and I even wanted to kill him. But later I realized that he was just a little more murderous, and the people he killed were all people who wanted to kill him. Even if he was guilty, he did not deserve to die."
Hearing this, most people nodded in agreement. Thinking back to Xie Tian's performance in the Martial Arts Competition, only Liu Yang, who threatened to cut off Xie Tian's head, died. Even Zhou Zhaoyang, who was abused badly, was alive and kicking the next day.
The old eunuch looked back and saw that Zhao Ye's face was no longer smiling. His heart suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "In Elder Wen Shui's opinion, how should this person be severely punished for his crime?"
"This …" Wen Shui frowned slightly. He was just being polite. As a Jianghu person, how could he not kill people? If killing people was punished, wouldn't Jianghu become the Jianghu of the imperial court? What kind of Jianghu would that be?
However, at this time, the Emperor was present, and he really could not refute the old eunuch. At this moment, Elder Gong came forward with a happy expression and said respectfully, "Chief, I have a way."
"You?" The old eunuch smiled.
"A few days ago, I went to Wuchen Temple and received guidance from Master Wu Chen. Master is willing to enlighten Xie Tian with the supreme Dharma and eliminate his murderous nature."
The old eunuch involuntarily swallowed. Wen Shui was already difficult for him to deal with, and now there was Master Wu Chen, who was even more difficult to deal with. He could not help but look at Zhao Ye, and saw that the Emperor nodded imperceptibly. Only then did he secretly sigh that Xie Tian was lucky.
"Since that is so, then …"
"Ancestor! Little ancestor Xie Tian … "
Xie Tian suddenly turned around, and his blood-red eyes stared straight at Brother Ma, who was covered in blood and stumbling from afar!
"The, the boss was captured by the Black Tiger Gang, captured …"
Before Brother Ma, who was lying on the ground, could finish speaking, Xie Tian had already leaped off the stage. As he madly ran into the distance, he sternly asked, "Where!"
"Ju, Ju Yi Square!"
The old eunuch was overjoyed. He did not expect that his random plan would actually make Xie Tian jump into it involuntarily. Seeing that Elder Gong and Wen Shui were about to give chase, he hurriedly pulled them back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the higher-ups of the Black Tiger Gang have been captured by me, and nothing will happen. Now that the Emperor has summoned the two of you because of Xie Tian's matter, you must not neglect it."
Elder Gong and Wen Shui looked at each other and had no choice but to walk up the stage, but they were faintly worried.
Ju Yi Square, where the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang was located.
Lin Shahu was not captured by the old eunuch. In reality, his true identity was the old eunuch's adopted grandson. Many important figures in the imperial court knew about this, even Zhao Ye knew about it. That was why the Black Tiger Gang, which occupied most of the cities in the Kingdom of Song, could exist for so long.
At this moment, Lin Shahu was sitting on the tiger skin chair of the White Tiger Gang. His legs were drooping, and he watched with interest as his subordinates tortured Boss Jia.
"I heard that this person is very strong-willed," Lin Shahu took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "Little ones, use more strength. This person's cries and wails are not pleasing to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his subordinates chuckled and used a pair of metal pliers to clamp down on Boss Jia's index finger, and pulled hard!
"Ah!" Boss Jia screamed at the sky, almost suffocating from the pain.
"Still not pleasing!" Lin Shahu smiled and shook his head.
"Faction Leader, listen carefully!" The fingernail-plucking subordinates found another eight people. Each of them held a pair of metal pliers and clamped down on Boss Jia's nine fingernails at the same time. "Hehe, Boss Jia, in order to make our leader feel good, we nine brothers will use all our strength. Can you cooperate with us, old man?"
Lin Shahu laughed, "Don't pull at the same time. Listen to my command, pull once every breath. I want him to be in so much pain that he can't breathe and suffocate to death!"
"Haha, the leader is really ruthless!" The subordinates threw their flattery at Lin Shahu like it was free, "Don't fight with me, I'll do it first, one, two …"
Boss Jia was scared out of his wits. When he counted to two, he felt his bladder loosen, and his pants were immediately soaked. He thought that he was really finished this time. Not only was he going to die, but he also played the role of Brother Ma before he died.
Just as he was about to experience the incomparable pain, he realized that the pain did not come for a long time. He timidly raised his head and was immediately stunned. He looked at the green tree branch in the middle of the nine people's foreheads in disbelief.
After the nine people landed heavily on the ground, the quiet lobby of the Black Tiger Gang was filled with a violent gasp.
Boss Jia looked back and saw Xie Tian holding the door frame, his eyes bloodshot!
