Seeing that their junior sister had agreed to stop her nonsense, everyone heaved a sigh of relief as though they had been pardoned. Everyone's gaze fell on Zhong Li.
Even though Wang Wen was the most senior in the group and was also the senior brother of the sect, Zhong Li was the backbone of the group. Everyone looked at Zhong Li as though they were waiting for him to give the order.
Looking at the gazes of his seniors, Zhong Li was taken aback for a moment. Then, he understood what was going on and shook his head bitterly.
Turning around, he looked at the front desk and released his killing intent. Suddenly, the temperature in the surroundings plummeted. He said coldly, "Kill this group of people. If we don't kill them, they will continue to run amok in the future. By then, there will be more women who will be captured and sold off like slaves."
Then …
Hearing those words, worry flashed across Wang Wen's eyes. "What about those people who came here to do business?"
"They are only here to do business. Even though our sect doesn't have much control over the secular world, we don't have the authority to kill them. If we kill these people as well, when we return to the sect, the sect leader and elders will …" At this point, Wang Wen didn't continue. He believed that even if he didn't say it, everyone would understand what he meant.
There was no need to think about Zhong Li. In his opinion, Zhong Li was very smart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top disciple in the sect.
As expected, the moment he said those words, everyone looked at Zhong Li worriedly. They were afraid that Zhong Li would act rashly and kill those people.
There were hundreds of them. It wasn't something that a few dozen people could compare to.
"Sigh!"
Understanding the thoughts of Wang Wen and the others, Zhong Li sighed and nodded his head. "Don't worry, I won't touch them."
"However …"
Gedeng.
Hearing those words, everyone's heart skipped a beat and they refocused their gazes.
"Heh, even though I won't kill them, I still have to teach them a painful lesson. Especially the people of Hongtian Empire, I want them to know that those who kill will be killed and those who humiliate will be humiliated."
"That's good. As long as you don't kill them, we will support you no matter what you do." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, they were still wary of Zhong Li. After all, when a person is angry, he won't care about what he said previously.
"Done!"
Zhong Li interrupted the wild thoughts of Wang Wen and the others. When he saw that the auction was still going on joyfully at the front desk, the scum who did not know that danger had already arrived, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Let's do it. Today, I will let the entire Heavenly King Hong know that if they don't care, I will."
After saying that, without waiting for the crowd to come back to their senses, he walked out and walked towards the front desk step by step.
After Zhong Li left, everyone couldn't help but start to regret. If they knew that this would be the outcome, they wouldn't have allowed her to come with them.
Looking at Zhong Li's back, Wang Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Forget it. When I go back this time, I'll have to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes!"
"Alright!"
Everyone sighed at the same time and nodded, as if they could already see the scene of them facing the wall and reflecting on their mistakes.
"Let's go!"
Wang Wen led the crowd and followed Zhong Li's footsteps towards the stage. At that moment, Lin Ray also started to move.
Looking in the direction of Zhong Li and the others, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and patted the Scarlet Flame Tiger's head. He smiled and said, "Little Tiger, it's time for you to perform."
"Remember, you can only create chaos. You must not …"
"Understood, Brother Lei!" Without waiting for Lin Ray to finish his words, the Scarlet Flame Tiger interrupted him and continued, "Just now, you've already said it no less than six or seven times."
"I understand. Don't fight. Who is it?"
"Don't worry!"
After saying that, the Scarlet Flame Tiger leaped and disappeared from Lin Ray's embrace. When it reappeared, it was at an inconspicuous corner of the stage, waiting for Zhong Li and the others to arrive.
Standing in the arena, the Scarlet Flame Tiger's gaze swept across the excited crowd. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on its face. It laughed and said, "As a demonic beast, how can I not kill?"
"Moreover, these people are so despicable. No matter what, I have to teach them a lesson!" With that, it sat down and waited for Zhong Li and the others to move.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold. This woman, I want her!" The business was still going on. No one knew that they had already become Zhong Li's meal.
Danger was getting closer and closer to them.
Behind the stage, Zhong Li's spiritual sense didn't leave the fat man on the stage. Looking at him, his killing intent became even more intense!
"Hmph, damn fat pig, your time has come." After saying that, he didn't care about Wang Wen and the others behind him. He stepped onto the stage and appeared at the edge of the stage.
"Hmm? That's … "
"Oh my god, so beautiful."
"Indeed, how much does it cost to buy a person? I'll buy it. Is one hundred thousand taels enough?"
"Hey, Old Six, it's the two of us. You have the nerve to take it out. This is … too embarrassing!"
"I'll pay one hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
The crowd was in an uproar. The man on the stage was stunned. Although he didn't understand why the crowd was reacting like this, he followed the crowd's gaze and turned to look.
"Hmm? You … how did you get up here? " He looked at Zhong Li. He recognized this woman. She had suddenly appeared. Back then, he had seen how beautiful she was and wanted to keep her for himself. However, when he thought of the shining silver and gold, he could not resist the temptation of the word 'profit'.
Looking at this woman, he saw that she didn't have any ropes around her hands. Moreover, there were no subordinates around her. For a moment, the man felt that something was wrong.
Especially when he felt the murderous intent from Zhong Li's body. As a person who often licked blood from the edge of a knife, how could he not feel it?
"Buying and selling women and harming them. Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Zhong Li didn't respond to the man. Instead, she walked forward and said, "Does it feel good to control the life and death of others?"
"Do you feel special when you see those women kneeling in front of you and begging for mercy in order to live?"
Step by step, she walked in front of the man. Hearing her words, the man trembled.
This scene caused the audience below the stage to fall silent. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next. They had never thought that there would be such a side to this.
"Hmph, buying and selling human beings. You deserve to die ten thousand times!" As she spoke, a long sword suddenly appeared in her hand. This long sword was taken from the group of people earlier.
"You … what do you want?"
"Let me tell you, this is the Imperial City. Murdering people is against the law. Besides, are you sure you want to do it in front of everyone? Aren't you afraid that they won't punish you after you leave? "The man was afraid. Zhong Li's chilling murderous intent made him feel as if he had been plunged into a thousand feet of ice.
However, no matter what the man said, Zhong Li remained unmoved. The corners of his lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. He raised his head to look at the deathly silent crowd below and sneered, "This group of people deserves to die. Just as you've said, I'm really worried that they'll expose me, so …"
"Everyone here deserves to die. Because of your intentions, who knows how many people you've harmed. Therefore, you all deserve to die."
As she spoke, the long sword hung directly at the man's throat. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Say goodbye to this world!"
"You won't be alone. Your subordinates, these hundreds of people, will all go down to join you!"
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did. Zhong Li didn't restrain his voice. Therefore, everyone present heard what he said.
"How dare you! This is the Imperial City. If you dare to cause a major incident here, you won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future. So …" A courageous young man stood up and looked at Zhong Li.
"Letting us go is your best choice. I guarantee that no one here will betray you. So, don't worry."
The man seemed to have Zhong Li in his grasp. After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
Wang Wen, who had just arrived on the stage, naturally heard the young man's words. Looking at the young man's back, Wang Wen laughed until he cried.
He had seen people who wanted to die, but he had never seen someone who didn't care about his life. This guy was really playing with fire!
"He'll definitely die in one minute."
"Alright, I'll bet …" In an instant, Wang Wen and the others began to place their bets. They wanted to see what would happen to the person who spoke just now.
Zhong Li didn't know. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care because … they guessed correctly.
The young man who spoke was already a dead man in Zhong Li's eyes.
Looking at the young man, Zhong Li sneered, "You're very brave."
"However, it's a pity!"
"Pity? Pity what? "The young man asked subconsciously.
"It's a pity that you're already a dead man!" After he finished saying those words, he took a step forward and arrived at the edge of the stage in an instant. With a stomp of his feet, he leapt into the air and arrived before the young man in three breaths' time. A large blade was placed on the young man's throat.
"As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out will be shot. Originally, you could've just enjoyed your life. Unfortunately, you insisted on being the bird that sticks out. Thus …"
"Puchi!"
A bloody light flashed past. A bloody fountain sprayed out from the young man's neck.
"Ahhh …"
Screams, shouts, and panic. When the crowd came back to their senses and saw the current appearance of the young man, they all dispersed in an uproar.
At this moment, those people who had looked down on Zhong Li earlier had a new evaluation of him.
This woman was not someone they could afford to offend. That was the only thought in the crowd's mind.
Seeing the crowd's fear of her, Zhong Li smiled and returned to the stage. She arrived beside the young man. At this moment, the young man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"If you want to be the bird that sticks out, I welcome you. However, you should consider how heavy your heads are!"
The crowd once again retreated to the back. If they had the chance to charge forward again, they would rather stay at home and eat grapes and enjoy the life of being served by servants than to come here and suffer such a mental torture.
"Hmph!"
Zhong Li snorted coldly and turned around. She focused her gaze on the young man again. Because the long blade had killed someone, the blood had not dried yet. It dripped down the blade and onto the ground.
She arrived in front of the young man and placed the long blade on his throat. There was nothing but ruthlessness in her eyes.
"In your next life … remember to be a good person."
"Slash!" The fountain of blood appeared again. At this moment, the women who had been bought by the crowd were all excited when they saw the young man being killed. They could no longer control their emotions and screamed.
Tears flowed from their eyes uncontrollably. One by one, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhong Li. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
At the corner of the stage, the Scarlet Flame Tiger who had been lying on the ground sneered. Then it got up and walked forward, suddenly appearing in front of the crowd.
Perhaps because the Scarlet Flame Tiger's current appearance was not a threat to the crowd, Zhong Li did not take the Scarlet Flame Tiger seriously.
Below the stage, at the northwest corner, Zhong Li looked at the Little Tiger on the stage. He could not help but smile as he waited quietly.
He wanted to see what kind of trouble the Little Dragon could cause.
On the stage, the Scarlet Flame Tiger came to the center of the stage and stopped at Zhong Li's feet. It felt the disdain in everyone's eyes and an unknown anger surged in its heart.
"Motherf * cker, I'm a Peak Hierarch Realm demonic beast that's about to enter the Saint Realm. You're just in the Fasting Period. How dare you look down on me?" Of course, the Scarlet Flame Tiger would not say that out loud.
It looked at the eight people on the stage and finally locked its eyes on Zhong Li. It came to Zhong Li's feet and communicated with him using its divine sense. It sneered. "Little girl, you're courting death!"
"Little Starlight, to think that …"
"Who?"
"Who's talking!" Just when he thought that the matter was about to end, a childish voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Fuck, am I so insignificant?" Looking at Zhong Li, the Scarlet Flame Tiger had the urge to kill him.
Thinking is thinking, talking is talking. Looking at Zhong Li's puzzled expression, the Scarlet Flame Tiger sneered and replied, "Look down."
"Then you can see this king!"
"Look down?" Zhong Li looked down subconsciously. When he saw the miniature version of the Scarlet Flame Tiger, he was dumbfounded. He felt that he was cheated.
"So cute, Senior Sister!" At the side, Xiao Miao looked at the Scarlet Flame Tiger in Zhong Li's hand and pounced on him, reaching out her hand to sign the contract.
However, at this moment, the Scarlet Flame Tiger wanted to know how big the shadow in his heart was.
"Little girl, you're courting death!"
"And you!" After warning Xiao Miao, the Scarlet Flame Tiger's voice rang in Zhong Li's mind again. "Little girl, listen carefully. Quickly let go of this king. Otherwise, this king will let you know what terror is in this world!"
"You …"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Zhong Li couldn't help but focus his gaze on a fox. Until now, he still couldn't believe that the voice in his mind came from a little fox!
"Hmph, little girl, are you going to put this king down? Otherwise, if this king gets angry, the entire Hongtian Empire will have to groom you!"
"Not only that!" As he spoke, his eyes met Zhong Li's. Suddenly, the illusion around Zhong Li began to change. In the next moment, it was a battlefield filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Millions of corpses lay on the ground, and blood flowed for thousands of miles. A Heaven Piercing Demonic Beast lowered its head and looked at Zhong Li. It continued, "Your sect will also be annihilated because of your ignorance.
