There was a decree in Yezhou City that no Immortal disciples were allowed to use their magic recklessly and cause trouble. Otherwise, they would be given a warning and driven out of the city, or killed on the spot. There would be no way to reason with them. In the past year, after the decree of selecting a son-in-law for the Dragon Lady was sent out, thousands of small Immortals came to Yezhou City to settle down. More than a dozen troublemakers had been driven out by Tianyi Palace, and no one was spared.
But now, the second floor of Taibai House was in an uproar again, attracting countless onlookers.
"This is the decree of Tianyi Palace. Who dares to make trouble in Yezhou City!"
When more and more onlookers gathered around, someone shouted in the air. Four or five young disciples in the robes of Tianyi Palace flew over on a cloud. The one in the lead was in his thirties, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked indifferent, and there was still a trace of anger on his face. He looked down at the cloud and wanted to see who was so stupid that he could vent his anger on him!
It was not the first time that this group of people had appeared in Yezhou City. Even the ordinary people in the city knew them.
But they were curious about why the disciple was carrying a fat old man with him.
"Eh? Zou Li? That is Zou Li, the inherited disciple of Tianyi Palace. Why is he here in person? "
"Shh! I heard that the person sent by Zou Li to compete for the copper Spirit Stones was robbed. He is here to investigate this matter! "
"That audacious guy is unlucky. He actually ran into Zou Li, the inherited disciple who just entered the city …"
"Hehe, in normal times, he would have been scolded and paid some money. But today, he is in big trouble …"
Looking at Zou Li's cold face, many people who were familiar with the rules of the city had begun to whisper to each other.
After the disciple on the cloud descended from the sky, he landed on the same level as the second floor of the Taibai Residence. The cloud was divided into four, and the four disciples of the Tianyi Palace guarded the four sides to prevent the person inside from escaping. Zou Li, whose face was as cold as ice, descended with the fat old man in his hand. He threw him to the ground and shouted coldly, "Settle the matter here first, then go find the person who robbed you. Humph, if there really is such a person, then it's fine. But if you're full of nonsense and have swallowed my Spirit Stones, I'll make your whole family pay …"
The fat old man was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed. "Senior Brother, please spare me. Even if I have the guts, I will not dare to steal your things!"
Zou Li ignored him and clasped his hands behind his back. His cold gaze swept across the area and saw the young man with the folding fan who had just woken up.
The young man had just woken up and felt a burning pain on his face. His head was dizzy from the slap. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zou Li, the successor disciple of Tianyi Palace, standing not far away with his hands behind his back. He anxiously rushed up and cried, "Senior Brother Zou … you have to help me. I was restrained by the rules of Tianyi Palace and did not attack, but that bastard took the opportunity to hurt me …"
"Puff!"
Before he could reach Zou Li, a beam of light suddenly flew out from Zou Li's sleeve. The young man's arm holding the folding fan flew into the air and blood spurted out. The young man with the folding fan howled in pain and fell to the ground.
"Causing trouble is the same as violating the rules of Tianyi Palace. Do you really think that the decree of the Palace Lord of Tianyi Palace is a joke?"
Zou Li waved his sleeve slightly and the beam of light flew back. It was a flying sword. Zou Li's face was as cold as ice. He looked mockingly at the young man with the folding fan who was lying on the ground, holding his injured arm and sweating in pain. "Regardless of whether you attacked first or not, you have violated the rules. Hand over one thousand spiritual stones and I will let you leave the city alive. Otherwise, you will die here!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked toward Taibai Tavern. He lightly spat out, "Who is talking to you about us?"
At this time, the Taibai Tavern was completely silent. Everyone was cowering in the corner and staring blankly at Zou Li who had walked into the Taibai Tavern. Zou Li did not even look at them and slowly walked up to the second floor. Before he could ask who had attacked just now, he had already seen Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow eating at a table on the east side as if there was no one else there. Zou Li's eyes turned cold.
He, Zou Li, had come in person. The entire building was filled with people who feared him as if he was a deity, but only these two tables of people had no regard for anyone else and ignored him. This made him hate the girl sitting by the eastern window who was in a daze, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Are you the one who violated the rules of Tianyi Palace by using magic in the city?"
Zou Li looked at Fang Xing with a cold expression. He slowly stepped forward and a beam of light was already flashing in his sleeve.
But at this time, an extremely excited howl suddenly rang out, "Senior Brother Zou, it's him … it's him … the one who robbed me of my money is him. It's this bastard … God has eyes. I've finally found you …"
The one who spoke at this time was the fat old man who had been carried here by Zou Li. When he saw Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow, he was so overjoyed that he almost lost his breath. He quickly rushed over and pointed a trembling finger at Fang Xing. It seemed that if it were not for the fact that his cultivation was too low and he was afraid that he would be killed by Fang Xing with one hand, he would have rushed up and attacked Fang Xing himself.
"Hmm?"
Zou Li was also slightly stunned. A trace of viciousness appeared in his eyes. He stared at Fang Xing's face like a sword and said softly with endless killing intent in his voice, "You're the one who broke the rules as soon as you entered the city and robbed my Junior Brother of his money?"
When the people around heard this, they were also surprised. They all felt that there would be a good show to watch.
They had thought that this guy with a crow was very bold, but they didn't expect him to be so bold …
When they saw him beating people in the city, they were already secretly impressed. They didn't expect him to steal money from Zou Li's subordinates.
It should be known that Zou Li had informed the City Lord before he used this method to earn money from the person looking for a son-in-law. The City Lord had specifically ordered that all the businesses in the city, big or small, could only accept ordinary gold, silver, and copper. They couldn't accept even half a piece of spirit stone. That was why this ridiculous situation of "tens of millions of immortals entering the city and exchanging spirit stones for copper" was formed. Otherwise, even mortals weren't stupid. Would they not want spirit stones if they had them?
It was also because of this that so many people with low cultivation and even ordinary people brought bags of silver and copper to exchange for spirit stones with the immortals who had gathered in Ye State City from all directions. It was so unfair, but nothing had happened …
This was the first time someone had directly robbed someone of silver and copper. Otherwise, Zou Li wouldn't be so angry.
He was angry because if everyone learned from this bastard, how could he continue doing business?
"So what if it's me?"
Fang Xing fiercely turned his head and glanced at Zou Li.
He didn't like the disciples of Tianyi Palace at all. They were the ones who helped his woman find a man. They were all bad guys!
However, Zou Li noticed the dissatisfaction in Li Mu's eyes and paid him some attention. With a sneer, he walked over slowly and said, "Fellow Taoist, you first entered the city and robbed my Junior Brother's money, and then you made trouble in Taibai House. You don't take the decrees of Tianyi Palace seriously. Do you have any prejudice against Taiyi Palace? Or … do you have evil intentions and come to ruin Eldest Princess's son-in-law selection? "
When he was sure that Fang Xing had robbed the silver and copper, he already wanted to kill him.
He had to hang this bastard's head on the city gate to make an example of him to other cultivators!
However, it was not a big deal to injure someone, but it was a big deal to kill someone. He had to put the blame on Fang Xing first before he could report to his superiors.
"Hey, you're right. I'm here to ruin your son-in-law selection. What do you think?"
Fang Xing sneered, slapped the table, and picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table.
Zou Li was putting on airs, but in fact, he was only at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He didn't take him seriously at all.
Zou Li didn't expect to put the blame on him so easily. He sneered and was about to raise his sleeves.
At this time, the Great Golden Crow also narrowed its eyes. It knew this little bandit's character very well.
If Zou Li wanted to hurt someone instead of killing him, he would be beaten half to death today and robbed of all his money.
If he wanted to kill Li Mu, he would be dead on the spot.
"Tianyi Palace really has some rules …"
Just when Zou Li was about to kill Li Mu, he suddenly heard a sneer.
Zou Li was slightly taken aback. He raised his head and just happened to see the woman by the wall turn her head around. There was a trace of a mocking smile on her beautiful face. As she spoke, she placed a small token on the table in front of her. The token was only the size of a baby's palm. It was dark green and crystal clear. As soon as it was released, the surrounding temperature seemed to suddenly drop and frost formed.
Zou Li's eyes suddenly froze. He took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said with his head down, "Senior Sister Cultivator of the Nether Spirit Doctrine, Zou Li, a true disciple of the Tianyi Palace, didn't recognize you. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you …"
"The Nether Spirit Doctrine?"
Hearing that, the people around were a little surprised. Even the disciples of the Tianyi Palace who had been guarding around Fang Xing just now also bowed to the woman.
"My surname is Qiu. This man is my personal follower. Can I ask the Tianyi Palace to spare his life?"
The woman sneered, put away the token, and asked in a low voice.
Zou Li was sweating profusely. He forced a smile and said, "Since he is the personal follower of Senior Sister Qiu of the Nether Spirit Doctrine, everything is easy. But when did you come to Yezhou City? Why didn't you tell the Tianyi Palace? I'm sure the Senior Brothers in the palace and our Young Master would have come to pick you up in person. Our two sects have been best friends for many years. It's not right to let you live in Yezhou City … "The woman surnamed Qiu said lightly," I was just sitting here thinking about something.
"I was just sitting here thinking about something. It's just that it's too noisy with you people coming and going. You should go back now. I'll pay a visit to Tianyi Palace in an hour …" She then glanced at Zou Li and said, "Don't blame me for interrupting you. I saved your life for the sake of your Young Master. Don't be fooled by his vulgar appearance and weak aura. If I'm not mistaken, his cultivation is at least at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. That crow is also extraordinary. His qi and blood are vigorous. Even though he's still a bird, his strength is probably enough to kill someone at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. With your cultivation, you really can't defeat them …"
Hearing that, Zou Li's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow coldly, repeatedly said "Yes", and slowly retreated.
Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow looked at each other, wondering who this crazy woman was …
After scolding Zou Li, the woman was lost in thought for a while. Then she turned around to look at Fang Xing and said with a sneer, "I saved you because of what you said just now. That Princess Royal of Dragon Palace is just a b * tch. What's so good about her?"
Fang Xing was not happy to hear that. "Hey, why are you scolding me?"
"I just said 'b * tch'. Who said 'b * tch'?
Besides, I can scold my own woman. How can you scold others so casually … "
