Chapter 823

Clang!

Li Ya was unsheathed at lightning speed and returned to its scabbard. With a cold glint, the head of the person who spoke flew into the air.

The laughter of the remaining black-robed men stopped abruptly and they took several steps back in shock. "How dare you kill a member of our Demon Hunt Hall!"

Yan Li tilted his head slightly and sized up the newcomer with the corner of his eye. "I'm asking about him."

The gazes of the black-robed men immediately landed on Luo Kaida, their eyes filled with warning.

Luo Kaida was stunned. He didn't know who he should listen to. More importantly, he would have to die no matter who he listened to. He had never felt so torn between life and death in his entire life.

Under the oppressive gazes from both sides, he suddenly let out a furious roar. He raised his fist and smashed it against his chest. He had chosen to die by severing his own heart meridian.

Yan Li narrowed his eyes and squatted down to check his pulse. There was no longer any movement.

The black-robed man smirked and said, "See, for someone who dares to go against our Demon Hunt Hall, committing suicide is considered a mercy. If you continue to be stubborn, I'll teach you a torture comparable to the 'Double Nine Extreme Punishments'!"

Yan Li stood up again and faced the black-robed men. He sneered and said, "That's right. Committing suicide is considered a mercy. Don't tell me you want to be like him?" He pointed at the black-robed man whose head had been severed from his body.

The black-robed men couldn't help but take two more steps back when one of them suddenly remembered the purpose of their trip. He smirked and said, "Yan Li, Lord Lu has said that your maidservant is in our hands. I advise you to surrender immediately and return with us. Otherwise, you wouldn't want us to destroy a beauty like her, would you?"

Yan Li's expression darkened. "My maidservant?"

"Yes, that's right. That young lady named Fu 'er. She's so pretty …" The black-robed man nudged his companion beside him. "Even we can't help but be tempted, can we?"

The person who was nudged wanted to cooperate instinctively. He suddenly realized that a pair of eyes that seemed to have crawled out of hell were staring at him. His heart couldn't help but tremble. "I, I don't know …"

"You …" Before the person could react, he saw that Yan Li was already in front of him. He swallowed the rest of his words. "What, what do you want …"

"Let's say that she's really in your hands. What does Lu Zhantang want to threaten me for?" Yan Li asked.

"Of, of course it's to cooperate …" The person retreated as he said with a trembling voice.

Yan Li approached him step by step. "Since it is a cooperation, it proves that I am of value, right?"

"Since I have a use …" The person agreed.

"Since I'm of use to you, what's wrong with killing you?" Yan Li sneered, "Who do you think you are? Even if you die, will anyone avenge you?"

The remaining black-clothed men could not help but look at each other.

Yan Li pulled out the Separation Cliff and faced them. He said sternly, "Now tell me, is she really in your hands? Where did you capture her? Answer me immediately. If you hesitate, you will die!"

"We, we don't know. That's what Lord Lu told us …" The black-robed men were petrified because the Law Domain aura exuding from Yan Li had suppressed them to the point they couldn't move.

"Then what's the point of you living?"

One of the black-robed men turned pale and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, before we came, Lord Lu was invited by Miss Caiwei for a discussion. It seems to be about your servant girl …"

"Hesitate and you die."

Li Ya shook, and a few deadly sword lights took the heads of a few men in black. After Yan Li withdrew his sword and walked far away, blood gushed out like a fountain, making the palm forest look more and more like a bloody Asura's Field.

After Yan Li disappeared, a corpse suddenly stood up in the middle of this bloody Asura Field. It was Luo Kaida, who had severed his own life veins.

"Lord … the secret technique of feigning death that you taught me … has finally come in handy … this must be your arrangement … don't worry … I will definitely avenge you …"

...

In the manor.

Gu Caiwei was happily drinking the osmanthus tea brewed by the round-faced girl when she heard the footsteps. A terrifying force field had already invaded. In an instant, everything around her became as fragile as paper under the invisible sharpness, as though it would turn to dust at any moment.

As a cultivator, the round-faced girl was the first to react violently. Her face turned incomparably pale and she took several steps back in horror.

Du Ziqi was also in a similar state, but her situation was slightly better.

The yellow-robed girl grunted and took half a step back. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she clenched her fists. "How … could this be?"

It wasn't until Gu Caiwei gently touched the teacup with the lid that the invisible force field was blocked ten feet in front of her.

Everything within thirty feet was calm and peaceful, but beyond thirty feet, as the man's footsteps approached, the air became chaotic. Everything — flower pots, mahogany tables and chairs, pillars, and even the stone tiles on the floor — were not spared. The entire outer room of the central room was crushed into powder by the countless sword Qis.

Then, Yan Li, surrounded by countless sword qi, slowly appeared in the sight of the four girls.

"Little bitch, I didn't expect you to have such a domineering side," Gu Caiwei said in a sweet voice.

Yan Li said, "In life, there are inevitably some choices that one will regret. Gu Caiwei, have you ever regretted it? "

Gu Caiwei giggled and said, "Although I am not a man, I am indomitable. I have never regretted my words and actions."

"Then you will regret it today," Yan Li said coldly.

Gu Caiwei's beautiful eyes flashed with a cunning light. "I know why you are here. You are here to find someone, right?"

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Hand over Fu 'er and I will leave immediately," Yan Li said coldly.

"Fu 'er is not in my hands," Gu Caiwei said.

"Then there is nothing more to say." A huge amount of sword qi began to form the Sword Mound.

"Wait." Gu Caiwei said coquettishly, "Why are you in such a hurry? If she is not in my hands, then she is naturally in the hands of my junior sister. I only said that she is not by my side."

Yan Li frowned and said, "Why is Lu Zhantang using her to threaten me?"

"Because I sold her for five hundred soul stones." Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "Five hundred. Even the top courtesans in the immortal world don't need two hundred."

"Ah, don't be in such a hurry. Why do you want to make a move after just a few words? This is not like you at all, little bitch."

"Where is Fu 'er? What do you want? "Yan Li suppressed his anger.

Gu Caiwei stopped smiling and said seriously, "I want you to agree to the Demon Hunter Hall's request and cooperate with them to steal the secret treasure."
