Live, these two words transcended all the rules and codes of the world.
Lu Lin felt Li Muyang's hesitation.
He knew that what he said was exactly what he was worried about.
He was chased by countless strong people and fled with injuries. Now his injuries had not healed and he had come to Wind City to save his parents and family — — did he not want his parents and family to live well?
If he were to die, his parents and family would all die with him. Even Li Muyang would not be able to escape the joint attack of those people and would have to be buried with him.
If Li Muyang was not a fool, he should know how to make a choice.
"Li Muyang, you are a smart man. You have hidden well before, you know what kind of choice to make — — I don't want to die, and you don't want to see your family die. Isn't that right? Put me down, I'll take you to your parents and family, as well as General Xu Da and the others who escorted them. I can leave them to you to deal with — — "
"My father only has me as his son. In order to protect my life, he will be willing to accept any of your requests — — Whatever you need, just ask him — — Li Muyang, let's make a deal — —"
"Li Muyang, today's matter ends here, we will talk about life and death — — Li Muyang — —"
※ ※ ※
The more Lu Lin spoke, the more nervous he became, and the more nervous he was, the more he wanted to persuade Li Muyang.
He originally thought that by persuading him with reason and interests, Li Muyang would certainly agree to the deal where no one would die.
However, he found that Li Muyang's face did not loosen in the slightest, but instead had a more and more intense sense of ridicule.
And his eyes — — his beast-like eyes were filled with murderous intent, and there was no sign of compromise or obedience. There was no intention of letting him live.
"He's going to kill me." Lu Lin thought, his body tensed up and his heart pounding incessantly.
"Are you making a deal with me?" Li Muyang asked in a hoarse voice. His voice was cold and heartless, with a hint of ridicule.
"Yes. I think … this is a win-win situation. " Lu Lin finally let go of his pride as the young master of Wind City, let go of the arrogance that everything was under his control, and if you don't agree, you will die. He also let go of the strength of character and self-esteem that a human should have. "Li Muyang, in your eyes, I'm just an ordinary human. No, I'm just a tiny ant … I can't do any harm to you. The first time we met, I knew from the way you looked at me that you didn't put me in your eyes at all … "
"Li Muyang, your opponent is my father, the cultivators and high-ranking generals around my father … They were the ones who decided to betray the Lu Family after a discussion. They were the ones who surrendered to the Song Family and the royal family for their own benefit. They were the ones who imprisoned your parents and family … I have nothing to do with these things. I didn't do anything …"
"If you use me to make a deal with Lu Wuyong, he will be in great pain … but in the end, he will have no choice but to agree to all the conditions you put forward. Isn't that what you want? Li Muyang, you see, I'm really good for nothing, why let the blood of a person like me stain your body? "
"I'll also make a deal with you." Li Muyang's voice was cold, without the slightest trace of humanity.
"What deal?" Lu Lin was ecstatic. He thought that things had finally turned around and that Li Muyang was finally willing to compromise with reality.
"Do you want me to break your neck or cut off your legs?"
"Li Muyang —" Lu Lin exclaimed. He didn't expect that the 'deal' that Li Muyang mentioned was to make him make such a difficult choice. In other words, he had been stirring up emotions for a long time, but he simply did not listen to a single word.
If his neck was broken, he would die. If his legs were cut off, he would live a life worse than death.
"Li Muyang, don't — —"
"If you don't choose, then I will choose for you." Li Muyang said aloud.
"Shinian — — Miss Shinian — —" Lu Lin burst into tears. Wailing loudly. As the son of the Lord of Wind City, a huge branch of the Lu clan, when had he ever been threatened like this in his life? When had he ever encountered such suffering? "Miss Shinian, save me — — for the sake of the hospitality I have shown you these days, for the sake that I did not kill you, say something for me — — Miss Shinian — —"
Lu Lin was sobbing bitterly, constantly pleading with Li Shinian.
"Do you think you can summon people over by shouting like this?" Li Muyang sneered. "I have set up a soundproof barrier in this room, no one can hear your shouts — —"
Li Shinian had quickly put on his clothes, fastened the cloth belt around his waist, and glared fiercely at Lu Lin with infinite hatred. "Lu Lin, these days, I really am grateful to you, because you did not directly kill me like those bad people I know, and killed my parents and family — — because I know that as long as I am alive, there is hope. There is a possibility — — a possibility that our family can be reunited and live happily together. This is also the motivation that has kept me going these days. "
"But then the situation suddenly changed, the Lu Family collapsed, Grandfather Lu died in battle, my brother was described by you as an evil dragon, and then was chased by you — — I know that you kept us alive to lure my brother here, you set up an inescapable net here, killed my brother, and then killed us all — —"
"I have begged you countless times to kill me — — but you had the illusion that I would compromise with the cruel reality, or submit to your despotic power — — Lu Lin, I only have hatred for you and your family now."
"If it wasn't for you and your father stabbing me in the back, how could things have deteriorated to this point? If it wasn't for you — — you did such a thing, how could the Lu Family collapse? How could Grandfather Lu die in battle? And Aunt Gongsun and Tianyu — — how could their whereabouts be unknown? "
Li Shinian sobbed incessantly, tears streaming down her face like rain.
She had been in Tiandu for a long time, and had a deep relationship with the Lu Family. In particular, Gongsun Yu took great care of her, as if she was her own daughter. Lu Tianyu also wanted to tease her in the beginning, but that was after all a young man. After he was saved by Li Shinian once, he listened to Li Shinian's every word.
Thinking of the little fatty who ran over with fresh fruits every day to give to her, but now he was being chased on the way — —
Li Shinian felt as if her heart was being pierced by a knife.
How did the two families end up in such a disjointed state?
Li Shinian's heart was full of hatred, hatred for all the people and things that had taken away her quiet and peaceful life.
"If my brother had not arrived in time, I would have been — — insulted by you. In that case, my life would be worse than death — — Lu Lin, you still have the face to ask me to speak up for you? You still have the face to say that you have treated me with great hospitality? "
"Miss Shinian — — Li Shinian, save my life, I will repay you in the future — —" Lu Lin howled.
"Is it to break your neck, or cut off your legs — — have you thought about it?"
"Li Muyang — —"
"Then choose to break your neck." Li Muyang tightened his grip on Lu Lin's neck.
"Legs. I choose legs — — "While she was still able to speak, Lu Lin hurriedly yelled.
If the neck was broken, then he was dead.
If both legs were cut off, although it was worse than death, but he was still alive — —
Li Muyang thought for a moment, before he said aloud, "I don't think you chose well."
As he spoke, he threw Lu Lin's body into the air.
Then, with one hand grabbing a hand and the other hand grabbing a foot, he tore at both sides.
Kacha — —
Blood spurted, flesh and blood splattered.
Lu Lin's body was torn into two halves, falling to the ground in disgust.
His face, hands, and clothes were all stained with blood.
"Big brother — —" Li Shinian stood rooted to the spot, staring at Li Muyang with a look of horror.
Li Muyang grinned at her and said, "When I saw him do that to you, I already thought about doing this — —"
"Big brother — —" Li Shinian's tears fell like rain, and she rushed over to hug Li Muyang's body. "Big brother — —"
"In order to save Father and Mother, I did hesitate, but I finally decided to do this — — because, if bad people don't get punished, good people — — good people really don't deserve to live."
"En en — —" Li Shinian nodded desperately, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry, don't cry — —" Li Muyang felt that his clothes were soaked in tears, which made him feel even hotter than Lu Lin's blood splashing on his body. "Don't cry, you know, ever since I was young, I was most afraid of you crying — —"
"I won't cry." Li Shinian buried her face in Li Muyang's arms, shaking her head vigorously. "I won't cry. We're going to save Father and Mother — — I don't know where they're locked up, they're not locked up with me — — "
"Don't worry." Li Muyang gently patted Li Shinian's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "As long as they're still alive, I'll definitely save them."
"Unless I'm dead."
This sentence was bottled up in Li Muyang's heart, and he couldn't say it out loud.
His body's condition made it hard for people to be optimistic.
In the stone room, there was a small stone coffin.
On top of the stone coffin, there was an instrument that looked like a wine bottle, made from an unknown ore.
On the surface of the instrument, there were all kinds of runes, as well as pictures of mountains, turtles, birds, and beasts. On top of the instrument, there were eight huge lions, each holding a silver bead in their mouth.
Facing the lion's mouth, there were eight toads squatting on the ground, each with their head raised, ready to receive the silver bead.
Ding — —
A crisp sound was heard, and the silver bead in the southeast of the lion's mouth shook violently and fell down.
Whoosh — —
The toad squatting on the ground leaped up, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the silver bead into its stomach.
Gulp — —
The golden toad burped, and squatted down again in satisfaction.
"It's a pleasure to have a dragon come from afar." An elder with a long beard, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, stared at the place where the silver bead had fallen, and stroked his beard with a smile.
