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, changing from one target to another.
It seemed that as long as Dong Qing and his son were present, the people around him would be as 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 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.
Seeing that the faces of those "big shots" changed rapidly, gradually turning into green-faced, ferocious-fanged evil spirits, and the situation was on the verge of exploding, Yan Li slowly opened his mouth.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely magnetic. Apart from his perfect pronunciation, there was also an extraordinary penetrating power, as if it had directly drilled into people's hearts. "Humans are not saints, and it is inevitable to make mistakes. Emotions and desires are unavoidable in human nature. Plus, cultivation is boring, so how can we not understand? If all of you leave now, I guarantee that His Majesty will not 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 what is laid out in front of all of you is a road of stray dogs. "
Thinking about it carefully, wasn't it the same?
Zhan Mu exclaimed in his heart, and took the opportunity to say, "Do all of you believe what I, Zhan Mu, say? All of you are the pillars of the imperial court. Without all of you, where will we find people to fill the gap? The imperial court will definitely be shaken. A small punishment is inevitable, but why would His Majesty really make things difficult for all of you? "
There was no doubt that he was a trusted aide of the Saint Emperor.
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 people from Yan Li's side were left in the hall.
Young Master Cai waved his hand, and two strong men immediately prepared to take Cui Er away.
Yan Li gave Yan Chaoyang a look, and 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, killed the two strong men by surprise, and 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 the palm of my hand anyway." Then he shouted, "Rich Quan."
"This subordinate is here." The man who looked like a manager bowed and answered.
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's brains are especially bad. Buying a pass cost five hundred taels of silver twice. How could an ordinary person have that kind of money? This subordinate pretended not to know and brought them in, leaving it to Deputy Pavilion Master to decide."
Mu Dongfeng's face suddenly 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 Lord?"
"Deputy Pavilion Master, please understand, this subordinate has no such intention!" Quan Dafu's face turned pale.
But only the sound of a thin thread shuttling through the void, the sound of a string being pulled, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard. Quan Dafu's head tilted to the ground and rolled to Dong Qing's feet.
That pair of eyes, which had died with everlasting regret, still stared at Dong Qing with lingering fear before death.
Dong Qing quivered and roared, "Attack quickly, we can't give him a chance to call for help!"
The father and son were of one mind, each drawing their sabers and rushing forward.
"Don't even think of harming Young Master!" The Four Seasons blocked their way.
The four women joined hands, the silk cloak, and their energy flew everywhere. Their strength was stronger than Dong Qing and his son.
"What are you still standing there for!" Zhan Mu patted Yan Li.
Yan Li observed the moves of the four women and discovered that the energy in their hands wasn't weak. The silk cloak 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.
"Since they're all people of the underworld, why not let them fight each other? Isn't that better?" Yan Li still stood there, not intending to attack.
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 for the light 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 became cold. "Doesn't this mean that the karma of a person who has done 999 evil things can be offset by doing one good thing? What a joke! "
Zhan Mu couldn't sympathize with his hatred, and he didn't know how many things he had abandoned for 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 this operation. Why the f * ck are you still not attacking!" 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, but it seems like you're still holding a grudge. Once we leave Silver Moon Villa, don't blame me for revealing your identity!"
"What identity?" Zhan Mu's sharp intuition told him that there was a story behind it.
At this time, 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 top-grade soul. I swear, you can definitely make my life bloom with greater joy. Other than 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. "
Yan Li raised his hand, and dozens of invisible silk threads attacked the vital parts of his body. These were the kind of things that could kill anyone who touched them.
Yan Li didn't move. Yan Chaoyang took a step to the side and blocked in front of him. The aura he released shook the threads back.
"Hey, who are you?" Young Master Cai observed with narrowed eyes.
Yan Chaoyang grabbed the void with his big hand and the Dragon Soul Spear appeared. Everyone was shocked.
Among them, Zhan Mu knew the most. He knew a thing or two about the strength of the Dragon Soul Spear through hearsay, but he didn't personally experience it. 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 said with a smile.
Yan Chaoyang didn't say anything. A shrill whistle resounded in the hall, and he rushed over like a cannonball.
Young Master Cai's expression changed. He spread his hands to the left and right, and threads visible to the naked eye gathered to form a shield in front of him.
Boom!
The Dragon Soul Spear collided with the shield, and 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, and 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, and the upper half of his body was crushed into powder by the powerful airflow.
The four women 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 toward Yan Li in the wine shop, and cold sweat instantly drenched his back.
Then, an even more chilling guess floated into his mind.
Sure enough, Yan Chaoyang's gaze turned to them, and his killing intent became even stronger.
"Yan Li, what do you want to do? Zhan Mu is here, and 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, and 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, and 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, and spat out a mouthful of blood. "I, never, ever, thought, my end … Yan Li, at least, I thought, we were, friends …"
"I don't have friends, not now, and not in the future." Yan Li stood behind him, and the hand that held the sword had already turned white.
