73: How to deal with it?
“I…I am Qingcheng’s uncle. Could you please let me see Qingcheng?”
Luo Changkong was a little scared. Li Daoxuan was too fierce. What Hidden Family of Cultivators? He didn’t care. Let alone himself, the Family Head.
Now he could only play the emotional card. Only his niece could save him.
“You still have the nerve to say you’re Qingcheng’s uncle?”
“How can you push your own kin into a pit of fire like that?”
“Are you worthy?”
Li Daoxuan also knew about the Luo Family’s marriage alliance. Luo Qingcheng was naturally unwilling, but her second uncle strongly pushed for it, even using kinship to bind her. Coupled with the Family’s pressure, Luo Qingcheng’s resistance was ineffective.
Leaving the Luo Family was just her last stand.
Li Daoxuan had long wanted to beat this second uncle, and now Luo Changkong conveniently delivered himself.
Li Daoxuan had been merciless in his previous attacks, beating Luo Changkong into a pig’s head. Luo Qingcheng probably wouldn’t even recognize him if she came.
Helian Jue felt ignored and couldn’t help but say, “Li Daoxuan, what exactly do you want? Why don’t you just kill me directly? Do you dare?”
“What is there to not dare?”
“If I kill you and then kill everyone else, do you think the news of your death will spread?”
“This…”
Helian Jue’s eyes had already changed a little, but he stubbornly said, “As long as you kill me, the Soul Lamp stored in our Family will immediately extinguish, and someone will quickly come looking for you.”
“Our Helian Family has more than one Great Ascension Stage Cultivator. Are you really not afraid of death?”
Li Daoxuan was indeed a bit troubled. These Hidden Families had many methods, and they might really be able to find this place. The current him truly couldn’t withstand a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator.
What to do?
Letting Helian Jue go now? That was absolutely impossible.
As for Luo Changkong, he should be handed over to Luo Qingcheng to deal with. After all, he was her uncle.
Li Daoxuan escorted the captives to a place and directly imprisoned them, planning to keep them locked up for a while.
On this day, Li Daoxuan’s wives successively emerged from their cultivation. Li Daoxuan smiled and said, “How is it? Have your cultivations all made significant Breakthroughs?”
“Husband, I’ve finally had a Breakthrough. I am now a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.”
Ji Ziling had been cultivating for the shortest time, yet she reached the Golden Core Stage in just a few short years. This speed was already very fast.
If it weren’t for concerns about an unstable Foundation and a superficial Realm, with Li Daoxuan piling on various Medicinal Pills, Ji Ziling would probably have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The women, one by one, smiled radiantly, clearly having made significant progress in their cultivation.
Xuan Yue, Qing Huang, and Luo Qingcheng were also very happy, one hand covering their bellies, their eyes full of overflowing maternal love.
Becoming mothers for the first time, they rapidly transformed from carefree little fairies into benevolent mothers.
Their cultivations, however, didn’t advance much. In these days, they only broke through a small Realm.
They spent more spiritual power nourishing the babies in their wombs.
“Qingcheng, I have something to tell you.”
“Husband, speak.”
“Your second uncle from your Family came looking for you. Do you want to see him?”
“What?” Luo Qingcheng was startled, unable to hide the panic in her eyes. She thought her second uncle had come to take her back.
“Qingcheng, you don’t have to worry.”
“Your second uncle doesn’t have the strength to snatch you away from me. This time, your second uncle was captured by me.”
“Really?” Luo Qingcheng’s eyes lit up. Could her husband already contend with her Family?
Previously, Luo Qingcheng always prioritized Family interests, but ever since marrying Li Daoxuan, she placed her husband and children in the most important position.
“Husband, I want to see my second uncle.”
“He wasn’t like this before. When I was little, he was quite fond of me.”
Li Daoxuan did not refuse: “Alright. By the way, I’ll just hand your second uncle over to you to deal with.”
“That’s fine.”
Luo Qingcheng knew that Li Daoxuan was afraid she would be put in a difficult position, so he specifically handed her second uncle over to her to handle.
Arriving at the dungeon, a group of people were neatly lined up. Since their cultivations were sealed, they looked disheveled and dirty all over.
“Niece Qingcheng, you’ve finally come. It’s all second uncle’s fault. Second uncle shouldn’t have forced you to do things you didn’t want to do. Second uncle is not a good person…”
“Can you please release second uncle? Second uncle begs you!”
Luo Changkong, this old fox, looked sorrowful and remorseful, almost kneeling. He knew his niece was kind-hearted. As long as he acted pitiful and remorseful, his niece would surely not remain indifferent.
Helian Jue’s previously dim eyes immediately brightened.
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! She truly lived up to her reputation as a Peerless Grade beauty who could topple kingdoms and cities.
Especially Luo Qingcheng at this moment, with her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her figure appeared fuller, coupled with the fading girlish innocence and the gentle, flowing tenderness of a married woman, truly…Peerless Grade!
This, instead, further ignited Helian Jue’s desire.
No matter what, he must have this woman. As for having a child? That was not an issue at all.
At this moment, Helian Jue had never felt such a strong urge to escape, kill his way back, and snatch the person away.
Luo Changkong had no shame, but this time he was wrong.
Although Luo Qingcheng’s initial intentions remained, she had long seen through her second uncle.
There was basically nothing left in the Luo Family that she yearned for, except for her grandfather who had been in seclusion. However, if she were to directly kill her second uncle, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Moreover, if her second uncle was gone, would the Luo Family directly fall apart?
Li Daoxuan also saw Luo Qingcheng’s dilemma.
“Let him go!”
“Really?” Luo Changkong was incredibly excited.
“However, you must make a Heavenly Dao oath that you will not tell anyone about anything here.”
“Also, you cannot leak the news that I captured Helian Jue.”
“Good! Heavenly Dao above, if I…”
Li Daoxuan then said, “Qingcheng, do you think this Helian Jue should be killed? Or should he be killed?”
Helian Jue: “…”
Luo Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Li Daoxuan and helplessly said, “Let’s not kill him for now, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”
“Then should we kill all these Luo Family offerings?”
Thump~ Everyone immediately knelt down.
“No, please! We…we were all recruited by Young Miss Luo before. We are all old acquaintances. You can’t do this to us.”
“We are willing to pledge allegiance to you and Young Miss Luo, and follow you to our deaths, only begging for our lives to be spared.”
Li Daoxuan looked at Luo Qingcheng, and saw Luo Qingcheng nod.
“Then…just keep them locked up for now!”
Seeing that everyone’s fate had been decided, and only he was left aside, Helian Jue couldn’t help but say, “What…what about me? How do you plan to deal with me?”
“Why don’t you just release me?”
Slap!
“Are you dreaming? Releasing you is impossible. Just stay put.”
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt that this was too easy for this kid, his eyes rolling, and he thought of a good idea.
“Hehehe…”
