Chapter 103

But who in this hall dared to let others see them? A few people fell from the collapsed place, which really shocked them. In panic, a few people who were leaning against the door of the hall hurriedly covered their faces and ran away. Those who didn't have time to run recognized Zhan Mu and Dong Qing. They couldn't help but be heartbroken, thinking that the army of the imperial court was already outside. It was really a disaster, like the end of the world.

"Oh, oh, oh, what a rare guest." Young Master Cai was full of interest, moving from one target to another.

It seemed that as long as Dong Qing and his son were present, the people around him would be clear as a mirror.

The person who looked like a manager sneered. The four maids of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were all furious. Xia He scolded coldly, "Humph, Dong Qing, how dare you betray Young Master and bring them here. Your crime is unforgivable. Today, you will be punished by Heaven!"

"How can Heaven's Punishment be enough?" Chun Lan sneered softly, "First, cut out the root of his tongue, peel off his skin, and then immerse him in the latrine pit. Let him watch his flesh and blood feed the maggots inch by inch, and then rot. Until his internal organs are completely corroded, he can stay awake. But he can't repent and beg for mercy. He can only welcome death little by little. That way, his soul can receive the highest punishment."

The more beautiful a flower was, the more poisonous a snake was.

"Won't the latrine pit be a little dirty?" Qiu Ju hesitated.

"This task is too difficult for me." Dong Mei's face was snow-white, but she was very determined, "If it's for Young Master, I'm willing to do anything."

Dong Qing was originally scared out of his wits. Suddenly, he felt his spirit flicker, and fragments of fleeting light and shadow flashed in his mind. Immediately, he calmed down and said, "Since I've taken this path, I've naturally arranged everything. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: His Majesty has already gathered thirty thousand guards, and they are only waiting for a signal to flatten the Silver Moon Villa."

The faces of those "big shots" became extremely ugly. They couldn't sit still anymore. Like ants, they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

"Big Misters!" Young Master Cai suddenly laughed and said, "In the Silver Moon Manor, all of you are my friends. We are the destroyers of beauty, but we are not a synonym for ugliness. Even if we are 'caught in the act of adultery', we should still dress up gracefully before going to be punished. Moreover, it is not a big deal. If the guards really move, how could the Silver Moon Manor not notice? A few mice sneaked in and scared you all out of your wits. I say, if you kill them, nobody will know, the sun will rise again, the Holy Emperor will come to court, and if you count it, it will only be the loss of one or two insignificant people. "

Zhan Mu's heart skipped a beat. This was the worst result that he could imagine. At least half of these people in high positions were cultivators, and there were many third-grade martial artists among them. These people were much more useful than those fiendish guards, if they were serious.

The faces of those "big shots" changed rapidly, gradually turning into green-faced, ferocious-fanged evil spirits. The situation was on the verge of exploding. Yan Li slowly opened his mouth.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely magnetic. His words were articulate and had an unusual penetrating power, as if it was drilling directly into people's hearts. "Humans are not saints. It's inevitable to make mistakes. Emotions and desires are inescapable in human nature. Plus, cultivation is boring. How can we not understand? If you leave now, I guarantee that His Majesty won't look into it. Lords, you must live to your heart's content, but you must also live with dignity. Think about it. How much importance does His Majesty attach to this operation? If we die here, will His Majesty really let it go? No! I'm afraid that the road in front of you is a road of stray dogs. "

Thinking about it carefully, wasn't it the same?

Zhan Mu shouted "good" in his heart. He took the opportunity to say, "Do you believe what I, Zhan Mu, say? You are all pillars of the imperial court. Without you, where will we find people to fill the gap? The imperial court will definitely be shaken. A small punishment is unavoidable, but why would His Majesty really make things difficult for you? "

He was a trusted aide of the Saint Emperor. There was no doubt about this.

Those people finally wavered and began to move out of the hall.

Young Master Cai smiled and watched, not stopping them.

Not long after, all of them had left.

Only nine people from Young Master Cai's side and five from Yan Li's side were left in the hall.

Young Master Cai waved his hand, and two strong men prepared to take Cui Er away.

Yan Li gave Yan Chaoyang a look. Yan Chaoyang picked up a bowl and threw it. Like a whirlwind blade, it cut the ropes on Cui Er's body in the blink of an eye.

Cui Er broke free and killed two strong men by surprise. Then, she escaped from the back of the hall.

"Want to run?" Xia He was furious and wanted to chase after her, but she was stopped by Young Master Cai.

"Let her go. She can't escape from my palm anyway." Then, he shouted, "Rich Quan."

"Here." The man who looked like a manager bowed.

He's Rich Quan? Everyone was shocked. Only Yan Li knew what was going on, so he was sure of his guess.

"Tell me, how did these people get in?" Young Master Cai asked.

Rich Quan said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, these people are especially stupid. Buying a pass cost five hundred taels of silver twice. How could an ordinary person have that kind of money? I pretended not to know and brought them in. Deputy Pavilion Master will decide."

Mu Dongfeng's face turned red and white.

Zhan Mu suddenly looked at Yan Li, hesitating in his heart. But the latter didn't react.

Young Master Cai looked at him with a smile. "Can I think that you did it on purpose just because I took your position as the Lord?"

"Deputy Pavilion Master, please understand. I have no such intention!" Rich Quan's face turned pale.

But there was only the sound of a thin thread shuttling through the void, the sound of a string being pulled, and the crisp sound of bones being broken. Quan Dafu's head fell to the ground and rolled to Dong Qing's feet.

That pair of eyes that died with everlasting regret still stared at Dong Qing with lingering fear before death.

Dong Qing quivered and roared, "Quick, we can't let him have the chance to call for help!"

The father and son were of one mind. They each pulled out their sabers and rushed forward.

"Don't even think of hurting Young Master!" The Four Seasons blocked their way.

The four women joined hands, and their energy surged. Their strength was stronger than Dong Qing and his son's.

"What are you still standing there for!" Zhan Mu patted Yan Li.

Yan Li observed the moves of the four women and found that the strength in their hands wasn't weak. The silk seemed to be endless, growing again after being cut off. It was even more effective than a gecko's tail. However, there was no order to their moves at all. They were like children waving the weapons in their hands randomly.

"They're all people of the underworld anyway. Why don't we let them fight each other? Isn't that better?" Yan Li still stood there, with no intention of making a move.

Seeing that Dong Qing and his son couldn't hold on any longer, Zhan Mu said anxiously, "One is one, two is two, one is two. Now that he has forsaken the dark and defected to His Majesty, he is one of us. How can we leave him in the lurch?"

"What a joke." Yan Li's face gradually turned cold. "Doesn't this mean that a person who has done nine hundred and ninety-nine evil deeds can be offset by doing one good deed? What a joke! "

Zhan Mu couldn't empathize with his hatred. He didn't know how many things he had abandoned for the sake of revenge. Even if there was a glimmer of hope for redemption, it would be extinguished by him. This was a road of no return.

"You're the one who's joking. I'm the one in charge of the operation. Hurry up and go!" Zhan Mu roared and rushed forward, ignoring Yan Li.

A second-grade martial artist joining the battle changed the situation immediately. Dong Qing and his son finally got a chance to breathe, but they hated Yan Li for not doing anything. Taking a breath, they said angrily, "I thought we could coexist peacefully. Looks like you're still holding a grudge. Once we're out of Silver Moon Villa, don't blame me for revealing your identity!"

"What identity?" Zhan Mu's sharp intuition told him there was a story behind it.

At this moment, Young Master Cai crossed the battlefield as if there was no one else around and walked towards Yan Li. He said with a smile, "Look what I've found. A perfect vessel, a superb soul. I swear, you can definitely make my life bloom with even greater joy. Except for the Ghost Lord, no one in this remote and desolate place can compare to you. Oh, I can't help but want to taste it first. Let me test its quality. "

With a raise of his hand, dozens of invisible threads attacked Yan Li's vital points. These were all things that would kill anyone who touched them.

Yan Li did not move at all. Yan Zhaoyang took a step to the side and blocked in front of him. A sudden burst of Qi caused the silk threads to retreat.

"Hey, who are you?" Young Master Cai narrowed his eyes and observed.

Yan Chaoyang's big hand grasped the void. The Dragon Soul Spear appeared. Everyone was shocked.

Among them, Zhan Mu knew the most. He only knew a thing or two about the Dragon Soul Spear's strength through hearsay, but he didn't experience it personally. Dong Qing and his son only found out from Zhan Mu that the person who saved Yan Li that night was Yan Chaoyang.

"Oh, oh, oh, isn't this the Dragon Soul Spear? So it's Mister Second who has graced us with his presence." Young Master Cai smiled.

Yan Chaoyang didn't say anything. A shrill whistle resounded in the hall. He had already rushed over like a cannonball.

Young Master Cai's expression changed. He spread his hands to the left and right. Visible threads gathered on a large scale, forming a shield in front of him.

Boom!

The Dragon Soul Spear collided with the shield. The entire hall buzzed from the rebounding airflow. It was like a small boat in a storm that was on the verge of collapse.

"What a terrifying strength!" Young Master Cai forced a smile.

His arms were trembling. The threads snapped one by one. "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, my adorable dolls, leave this place quickly. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices …"

Before he finished speaking, the Dragon Soul Spear's spearhead flashed with blue light. The shield formed by the threads completely collapsed. His upper body was crushed into powder by the powerful airflow.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter quickly withdrew and slipped away from the back of the hall.

Dong Qing and his son still couldn't react to the sudden change in the situation. Dong Qing thought of his attitude towards Yan Li in the wine shop. Cold sweat instantly drenched his back.

Then, an even more chilling conjecture surfaced in his mind.

Sure enough, Yan Chaoyang's gaze turned to them. His killing intent grew even stronger.

"Yan Li, what do you want to do? Zhan Mu is here. You dare to kill us? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you? "Dong Qing yelled incoherently.

But in the next moment, his yelling came to a screeching halt. His face turned as white as a sheet of paper.

At some unknown time, a sword had pierced through Zhan Mu's back, straight through his chest.

The tip of the sword was stained with blood. It flickered with a threatening, ominous light.

In the end, Farewell Cliff had still become a lethal weapon.

Zhan Mu still didn't dare to believe it. He vomited a mouthful of blood. "I, never, ever, thought about my end … Yan Li, I at least thought that we were, friends …"

"I don't have friends. I don't have any now. I won't have any in the future." Yan Li stood behind him. The hand that held the sword had already turned white.
