92: Those who kill will be killed
“More money?”
“What money?”
Wei Fawang had lived for almost two hundred years, and this was the first time anyone had asked him for more money!
“Young man, don’t be too excessive!”
“If I’m not excessive, how can I be a young man?”
Xiao Qingyuan blurted out.
“Bah! What I mean is, this kid brought people to besiege my Xiao Family, causing such great losses.
I spared his life; isn’t it reasonable for him to pay some compensation? Isn’t it reasonable to pay for emotional damages? Isn’t it reasonable to pay for the children’s living expenses?
Now, he even has to Face retaliation from the Ku Family. Is it really too much for me to ask for some things?”
Wei Fawang almost choked with rage.
You spared him?
He glanced at Ku He, who had almost lost half his body.
He nearly rolled his eyes at him.
This was killing someone’s spirit!
Good heavens, his Dantian was crippled; he wouldn’t have to worry about his lifespan.
After all, for Mortals, there were quite a few treasures that could extend life.
But that wasn’t the point!
This kid had lost his right hand and right foot, let alone marrying a princess.
He’d have trouble even getting into bed.
He was tempted to turn and leave, but seeing Xiao Qingyuan’s subtly threatening gaze,
He immediately gasped.
Damn it, this kid couldn’t possibly still be thinking of fighting him, could he?
Beast!
How could he be so bold?
“Say no more! Cough, cough, I can make the decision to bestow Yanggu Prefecture upon your Xiao Clan Immortal Family.
And exempt your Xiao Clan Immortal Family from taxes for ten years, how about that?”
Xiao Qingyuan heard this, picked his ears, and his expression immediately turned cold.
“Yanggu Prefecture, you have the nerve to mention it? Jiujiang Prefecture has nine great rivers, and you’re trying to fob me off with a mere county town? It seems Fellow Daoist wants to spar with me!”
Wei Fawang’s words faltered: “The Lu Family’s land was granted for military achievements by their ancestors, you…”
However, Xiao Qingyuan didn’t listen at all, waving his hand to directly interrupt: “I don’t care. Since you don’t give me Face, then let’s handle this officially.”
Saying this, Xiao Qingyuan pointed at Ku He in his hand, then at the surrounding Zhenwu Guard: “I’ll just ask you one question: how many Spirit Stones are all these unidentified rogue cultivators, who came to cause trouble at my Xiao Clan, worth in total?
If we can’t agree on a price, I’ll chop them all down and use their heads to exchange for military merits from the court!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining twenty or thirty Zhenwu Guard felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
How did they, who were just innocently watching the show, suddenly become the target?
They quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Some kept shouting to Wei Fawang in the air.
Their cries were truly miserable.
There was nothing they could do; he dared to cripple Ku He.
They were even less significant!
He really dared to kill people!
And it wasn’t over yet.
Saying this, Xiao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes: “Oh, right, which mountain peak do you belong to, old man, and what’s your bounty?”
Hiss… “Young man, you are, you are… truly not giving this old man any Face?”
He was numb!
Wei Fawang was completely numb!
He was a Royal Family’s Honored Guest!
Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!
Those were Zhenwu Guard, also not just small fry.
They were all beings who had the potential to achieve Foundation Establishment in the future!
“Heh!” Xiao Qingyuan scoffed with disdain: “Face? Sorry, are we very familiar? You’re not even willing to call me Fellow Daoist!
Oh, right, my eldest brother is among the Immortals, so we aren’t entirely without Golden Core cultivators above us!
Although it’s a bit troublesome, but… hmph hmph!
If you really piss me off, why would I care about trouble or not?
Just kill them all and be done with it!”
After a long silence, Xiao Qingyuan stared back at him without flinching.
Finally,
It was Wei Fawang who first gave in, suddenly laughing up at the sky.
“Hahahaha, interesting, having lived so many years, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a formidable young man like you. Good, good, good, today I shall call you Fellow Daoist.
As for those Zhenwu Guard, you handle them as you see fit. From today onwards, you are the Foundation Establishment Guardian of Yanggu Prefecture! All Martial Guards will be at your command.
As for the issue of Foundation Establishment fiefdoms, if you are willing, you can go and conquer them yourself. This is an Exploration Order; the Endless Mountain Range has countless lands, an area no smaller than the entire Great Wei. Whatever you conquer is yours!
Hahahaha!”
With that, he directly tossed over an Exploration Order, and casually wiped the Divine Sense from the Storage Pouch at his waist, throwing it over as well.
Without another word, he turned and left.
A display of carefree demeanor.
In reality, his heart was terrified.
That kid’s eyes had just flashed with killing intent; he was truly considering leaving him here too.
He even inexplicably felt a huge sense of crisis.
As if, should he make a move, he would be suppressed by Xiao Qingyuan with a mere raise of his hand.
This feeling came out of nowhere.
Yet, it also prevented him from harboring any thoughts of revenge.
These young people nowadays.
Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke.
Finally, he subtly glanced with his peripheral vision at the white-robed woman caught by Xiao Qingyuan.
He felt another wave of speechlessness; he even dared to provoke those Tianli Sect fanatics.
This kid was even crazier than them!
Forget it, I don’t care!
Whatever happens, happens!
Wei Fawang would just wait and watch the show.
After he left,
Xiao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, focusing his gaze on the Zhenwu Guard.
“Those who kill, shall be killed! I’m making a move; you have no objections, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining people were all stunned.
You want to kill me, and I can’t even have an opinion?
Their experiences today truly refreshed their worldview.
First, their leader brought them to slaughter a city, but they didn’t get any loot and lost over a dozen brothers.
Immediately after, three thousand Martial Artists formed a military formation and fought them to a standstill, losing another dozen or so men.
What came next was even more explosive: a Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly descended, using a spirit sword to chop down all the centurions and lieutenants.
Those who charged forward were also cut down.
Until their Qingshan Garrison was left with only twenty or thirty people!
Then came the even more explosive part.
This killing god, who had almost annihilated them, had now become their direct superior.
Are you kidding?
Are you playing games?
That Royal Family’s Honored Guest, can’t he have some integrity?
Damn it!
“My lord, spare me, my lord, I’ll report! I was just a bystander; I didn’t kill anyone! Liu Lu, that kid, killed three people! My lord, kill him instead!”
“Cui Zhihong, you’re talking nonsense! My lord, what he said is false; I’m the one who didn’t kill anyone! This humble one is willing to offer my Storage Pouch and pledge loyalty to my lord from now on!”
“My lord, I’m willing too…”
However, listening to their cries, Xiao Qingyuan remained unmoved.
The reason he hadn’t pierced Ku He to death with a sword was originally to secretly imprison him.
Although the current situation was not quite as he had envisioned,
If he really pressed the issue, he wasn’t in the wrong.
No matter how you looked at it, their Xiao Clan Immortal Family was merely acting in self-defense and had not violated the laws of the Wei Kingdom.
This was also why he dared to be so unyielding just now, combined with using a tiger’s skin to wave a big flag.
That’s how he obtained a Foundation Establishment Immortal’s Storage Pouch.
So, for him now, he no longer cared for these people’s Storage Pouches.
Thus, he raised his spirit sword again: “It’s time. Since all of you have blood on your hands, what you should do now is use your heads to atone for the fallen clansmen of my Xiao Clan Immortal Family!
Atonement for the three thousand armored warriors of my Xiao Clan Immortal Family!”
“Why!” Seeing his resolve, the one named Cui Zhihong suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot: “I admit I killed two of your Martial Artists, but it was only two.
Those who killed more were already killed by you just now!
How can their lives compare to ours?
Isn’t it enough if I compensate with Spirit Stones?
One hundred, one thousand?
Five thousand should be enough, right?
Aren’t you just after Spirit Stones?”
However, the next second.
Swoosh—!
The sword light flashed, Cui Zhihong’s expression instantly froze, his head flying off.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
It seemed he had completely not expected to die just like that, dying so meaninglessly.
Clang!
The spirit sword in Xiao Qingyuan’s hand hummed softly, and he whispered,
“Don’t be silly! If I kill you all, won’t the Spirit Stones still be mine?”
