"Young Master Li …" Li Ying knelt on the ground in her wedding dress, trying to explain.
"Shut up."
The young master's eyes turned cold.
He was Li Yuanchen, the son of the Minister of Works, Si Yin.
Following Li Yuanchen's change of expression, the atmosphere in the courtyard of the Li family suddenly became dead silent, as if winter had suddenly arrived. Everyone in the courtyard felt as if they were being pierced by icicles.
"Young Master Li …" Lin Yi also wanted to explain.
Li Yuanchen just gave her a cold glance.
Lin Yi suddenly couldn't say a word.
Wuyue's expression was extremely ugly. He took a step forward and said sternly, "Why?"
"Why?" Li Yuanchen sneered, "Hehe, let me think … Ah, I can't remember the reason. I just want to find someone to play with. I find it interesting to see your pained, angry, and helpless expressions. The wails of the weak, hehe, hahahahaha!"
A cold and almost perverted laughter reverberated in everyone's ears.
Wuyue clenched his fists tightly. The immortal essence in his body was flowing and boiling.
After all, he was a high-level immortal king. He was not weak.
But Li Yuanchen just smiled faintly, "What? Want to fight? Li Zhenjian is still locked up in the temporary prison of the underground city's mine. "
The aura on Wuyue's body instantly dissipated.
"Trash."
Li Yuanchen smiled disdainfully.
Wuyue couldn't advance or retreat at the moment.
When he saw Li Ying kneeling beside Li Yuanchen, his heart was almost broken.
"I don't believe that there is no justice in the Immortal Court. I will definitely investigate what happened in the mine. Uncle Li must have been wronged." Wuyue gritted his teeth and said.
Li Yuanchen laughed heartily. "Go ahead, go ahead and investigate. Hahaha, let's not talk about the fact that you won't be able to find anything. Even if you can, by then, your woman would have already been played by me. Haha, so what?
This noble young man's words were vicious and ruthless, like a sharp awl, piercing people's hearts.
Li Ying and her daughter's faces instantly turned pale, as if they had lost their souls, but they didn't dare to react.
The anger in Wuyue's heart was like a volcano, about to erupt.
However, he knew that if he really made a move, he would fall into this person's trap.
"Young Master Nie, don't go too far." Wu Yue lowered his head and pleaded, "What do you want to do to let Yingying's family off?"
Li Yuanchen looked at the sky and smiled, "Are you begging me?"
"Yes." Wu Yue gritted his teeth and lowered his head. "I'm begging you."
"Begging for help … Haha, is this how you look like begging for help?" Li Yuanchen retracted his gaze from the sky. His eyes were filled with ridicule and cruelty as he looked at Wuyue. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said, "If I were to beg someone else, I would definitely kneel down and beg first."
Wu Yue knelt down with a thud.
Li Ying burst into tears. She turned around and shouted at Wu Yue, "Wu, this has nothing to do with you. Get lost, get lost. I am a lowly person who is willing to be toyed with by Young Master Yan. None of this has anything to do with you. Get lost."
She knew very well how proud the man in front of her was.
He had never bowed down to the nobles.
He had never bent his knees to power.
He had always adhered to the principles in his heart, no matter what he encountered.
But now, for her, he had knelt down.
This humiliation was not just physical.
It was more about the principles that had almost destroyed a man's spirit.
However, Wu Yue did not say anything. He only knelt and said, "Young Master Nie, are you satisfied now?"
Li Yuanchen laughed out loud, "Do I have to agree just because you beg me?"
"You …" Wu Yue clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "Young Master Nie, I beg you, let Yingying's family go. I can agree to anything you want. I can do anything you want me to."
Li Yuanchen slowly stood up.
He stepped on Wu Yue's shoulder and said, "My boots are dirty."
Wu Yue was so humiliated that his entire body trembled.
He gritted his teeth tightly and did not let himself explode.
Then, he slowly wiped the dust off Li Yuanchen's shoes.
"Hehe," Li Yuanchen laughed and said, "People say that Wu Yue on the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Prison is a rare tough bone in Heavenly General City. No one can subdue him and he would rather die than submit. Hehehe, isn't he like a dog now, kneeling in front of me and letting me do whatever I want?"
Wu Yue's body was trembling.
His last bit of rationality forcibly suppressed him and did not go berserk.
Li Yuanchen laughed out loud and pointed at his crotch, saying, "Crawl over there and then swear on the foundation of the Immortal Dao to be loyal to me."
Wu Yue's face instantly turned as red as blood.
"If I do that, will you let Yingying's family go?" He gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Li Yuanchen said indifferently, "You have no right to negotiate with me."
Wu Yue was silent.
After a moment, he slowly crawled toward Li Yuanchen.
The humiliation of his crotch?
For Yingying …
Suddenly —
"Wu Yue, get lost."
Li Ying could no longer hold it in.
She rushed over like a madman and pushed Wu Yue away, roaring, "You can't do this. He's a devil. If you do it, he won't let you go … Go, don't get involved in this matter."
Wu Yue did not speak.
He still crawled toward Li Yuanchen on his knees.
Li Ying's palm suddenly glowed with jade light, and a flying shuttle made of immortal brocade appeared in her hand. The sharp shuttle was aimed at the center of her eyebrows, and she said, "If you don't go, I'll die in front of you."
Wu Yue's body suddenly froze.
He raised his hand and tried to say something.
Li Ying took a step back and said, "Don't come over, go."
Wu Yue's tears fell like rain.
In this moment, he had never felt so useless and cowardly as he did at this moment.
He had also never longed for powerful strength and high authority as he did at this moment.
On Li Yuanchen's face, a playful expression like that of a cat and a mouse appeared. As if he was watching a play, he clapped and laughed, saying, "Haha, what a touching scene. I'm almost moved to tears. Haha, unfortunately, it can't solve any problems."
He looked at Li Ying and said, "Bitch, you've put on my wedding dress, but you still have another man in your heart. Do you believe that I'll soon make you wish you were dead?"
Li Ying's beautiful eyes flowed with the light of despair and tenacity. She raised her head.
Her swan-like neck was beautiful and fair.
The young and beautiful woman clenched her teeth and said, "Young Master Yan, I've agreed to everything you've asked for. If you still insist on forcing me, we'll just break up. I can't save my father, so I'll just return this life to him. You won't get anything."
Li Yuanchen's expression darkened slightly. Soon after, he clapped and laughed, saying, "Haha, good. What I care about is that you're different from other female immortals. Haha, it's really fun to play with you … Okay, I promise you. Haha, I won't humiliate this good-for-nothing."
He looked at Wu Yue and said, "Did you hear that? Get lost. Haha, I'll take your woman for you."
Wu Yue suddenly stood up, his eyes red like knives. He said, "Li, don't force me."
Li Yuanchen laughed involuntarily and said, "So what if I force you?"
Wu Yue said, "I, Wu Yue, have friends and brothers on this Meteor Island. Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. You?" Li Yuanchen laughed wildly and said, "Just those dogsh * t friends and brothers of yours? Do you think I haven't investigated you? Good, very good. How about this, I'll give you time. Tomorrow, I'll marry this slut. Before that, I won't touch her. If you can find someone who can help you and dares to help you in this period of time, then I'll kowtow to you and admit my mistake. Then, I'll let Li Zhenjian and his family go. Hahaha, how about that? "
"Okay." Wu Yue suppressed his emotions and said word by word, "It's a deal."
Then, he looked at Li Ying again and his gaze softened. He said, "Yingying, wait for me. Trust me."
With that, Wu Yue turned around and strode away.
The flying shuttle in Li Ying's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She fell to the ground, her rosy crown fell to the ground, and her fine black hair was scattered.
Li Yuanchen laughed coldly and said, "Someone, help my concubine up."
…
…
Wu Yue left the Red Willow District, the flames in his heart burning wildly.
He did not go home to find Lu Yu and his other friends.
Because he knew very well that these friends could not help him. Even if they were willing to sacrifice themselves, Wu Yue would not agree. That would be harming them.
Wu Yue knew very well that all his friends could not help him.
Now, there was only one person who could help him —
The new Great Master of the Punishment Mansion, Mu Mu.
Wu Yue was still holding the token that Mu Mu had thrown to him.
It was not that he had not thought of taking out the token just now to scare Li Yuanchen away.
But in the end, he did not put it into action.
Apart from worrying about the limited deterrence of the token, Wu Yue insisted that because he had not agreed to Mu Mu's olive branch, he was not qualified to use the token.
The more critical the situation was, the more he had to abide by his principles.
If he had taken out the token just now, even if he was lucky enough to scare Li Yuanchen away and save Li Zhenjian, if Great Master Mu found out about this, it would be fine if he did not care about it. But if he did, he would be much more terrifying than Li Yuanchen.
Rumor had it that the Head Peak Master was a temperamental and ruthless person.
Wu Yue had seen what happened in the prison with his own eyes.
He dared not take the risk.
This token was his only chance.
He had to use it correctly.
The correct way to use it was to take it to the High Lord Mu Mu and tell him everything. Then, he would become his subordinate and ask for the High Lord's help. That way, everything would be solved.
Now, what he needed most was time.
Without any delay, Wu Yue rented a white crane with the last fairy crystals he had and rushed to the Punishment Mansion to see Great Master.
…
…
"Your Honor, please be merciful. These are all felons, and they still play a very important role."
On the 17th floor of the prison.
He Yingxin tried to dissuade Li Mu.
Two corpses were already lying in a pool of blood.
They were the diehard members of the prisoners. Li Mu took them out of the cell and mercilessly killed them on the spot. Their Primordial Spirits were destroyed, and they could not be more dead.
But Li Mu obviously had no intention of giving up.
The other nine rebels were also brought to the Celestial Prison Square by him and were about to be executed.
He Yingxin looked anxious and tried to stop him.
Li Mu looked at He Yingxin with a strange expression. Suddenly, he smiled and asked curiously, "Yingxin, when I killed other felons, I didn't see you stop me. Why are you so nervous when I kill the rebels? Haha, do you sympathize with these rebels? Or … do you have something to do with them? "
