Cold water suddenly hit his face, and Li Yuxing finally came out of his daze. What happened a moment ago also poured into his mind instantly.
It was expected that he would say something that was not true, but because of this, his subordinates lost their composure and took action without permission. Such an unexpected situation really caught Li Yuxing off guard. At that moment, in panic, he was about to start shouting and stop, but his eyes were not diverted.
He leaned back and met the eyes of the man who looked up. With just one glance, he felt as if his whole body was falling into a bottomless ice cave, being penetrated and cut by countless wind blades.
In the middle, it just falls, and there are no other feelings or thoughts.
Suddenly waking up and returning to reality, Li Yuxing's only subconscious reaction was to run away from the evil star at all costs, as far away as possible. But as soon as he made a move, he felt his body suddenly tighten, and then he floated in the air.
It moved a short distance and fell hard on the wet ground.
"Master Immortal, please spare your life. It was the villain who was wrong. It was the villain who was ignorant and rushed into the Immortal Master. I will never dare to do so again. Please be noble and spare the villain's life. Spare the villain..."
.." Li Yuxing stood up and kowtowed without even daring to look at him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng felt very contemptuous and shameless. As members of a noble family, they were so indifferent that they actually knocked on the door and offended the immortal cultivators. Regardless of whether Sun Huo was a person who needed to be especially friendly at the moment,
Individual cultivators cannot be offended easily. Because this is related to the superiority and inferiority difference between immortal cultivators and mortals, which must not be broken by transcendence, even if most cultivator families despise casual cultivators from the bottom of their hearts. Now in front of Sun Huo
It's hard to tell this outsider's face. As for how to repair it afterwards, the two of them have already started thinking about it.
"Tell me, what do you want to do by bringing so many people here?" Xiao Zhuang scolded Bai Zifeng before Bai Zifeng could say anything.
Li Yuxing trembled all over, and then he noticed that there were three different pairs of people standing on the ground, and the unfamiliar accents were completely different from the previous Sun Huo. He couldn't help but subconsciously raised his head to take a look. He saw that there were more people not far away from the opposite side.
There were two young people in luxurious clothes. One was expressionless and the other was looking at him with a smile. Based on his feeling, he turned his head and looked to the other side, and unexpectedly saw the evil star.
As if nothing had happened, he chuckled at himself, and he immediately shrank back as if he had seen a poisonous snake.
Although Li Yuxing still doesn't know the identities of Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng, judging from the fact that they can stand calmly in front of Sun Huo, they are probably the same cultivators. What's more terrible is that the question just now also revealed that
He knew that these two people were not here to rescue him. Today, there are no immortal cultivators from the clan stationed in Xianlai City. At this moment, he is desperate and regretful. How could he be so obsessed with listening to the secret report today and come out to cause this disaster?
It has even been implicated that members of this family may be wiped out.
Watching Li Yuxing not only didn't reply after being questioned, but also stopped even pleading for mercy, Bai Zifeng felt a little anxious. Although it was Xiao Zhuang who spoke first, he was hit with a soft nail, but this situation also made him feel a little anxious.
I also seemed incompetent when I started, and I couldn't control a mere mortal. So I shook the folding fan in my hand, and a ball of water condensed out of thin air again, and I pounced on it.
This time, the water balloons did not just splash on his face like last time. Instead, they gathered together and covered Li Yuxing's head. Immediately, a painful expression like drowning appeared on his face, and he tried his best to push his head with both hands.
Scratching in vain.
After about ten breaths, the water ball on Li Yuxing's head suddenly dispersed, and he collapsed on the ground, panting feebly.
"Let me ask you again, what are you planning to do by bringing these people here?" Bai Zifeng stopped showing his polite expression and asked in a cold tone.
"I said, I said!" Li Yuxing struggled to get up and shouted. He tortured himself mercilessly without any warning, extinguishing his last trace of luck in using the family behind him as a shield.
After taking a few more breaths, he continued: "Yes, the villain is obsessed with ghosts. He received a secret report that a stranger from outside had entered the city with a rare treasure, a silver umbrella, so he became greedy and wanted to capture the Jiangyang thief in the name of it.
People take it..."
Hearing this, Sun Huo's face suddenly darkened. He had been aware of Li Yuxing's purpose from the beginning, so it was not that surprising that it was verified at this moment, but the excuse of this gangster suddenly stung his nerves.
It brings back the memory of being framed by Xiao Yumu.
Putting down his arms and taking two steps forward, Sun Huo suddenly grabbed the silver umbrella behind him and slammed it down on Li Yuxing's head.
"Fellow Taoist, think twice!"
"Fellow Taoist, please wait!"
Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng exclaimed in unison. The incident happened suddenly. Neither of them expected that Sun Huo would suddenly attack, and there was no time to stop him.
The umbrella head suddenly stopped a short distance away from the position, and did not really hit it.
Seeing such a scene, the two of Xiaozhuang were actually frightened. They didn't care about Li Yuxing's life or death. They were more worried about the attitude and possible reaction of the Li family in the future. In case there was a fight over this.
, not only would Sun Huo be accused of killing mortals indiscriminately due to his lack of evidence, but the reputation of his family would also be damaged because of his presence. All of this is not worth the gain.
"Let me ask you. If a member of your Li family was falsely accused of being a thief and had their property taken, what would you do to him?" Sun Huo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then asked word by word. "This, this..." Li Yuxing trembled suddenly, unable to finish his sentence. Even Xiao Zhuang and Bai Zifeng subconsciously glanced at each other and fell silent, unable to speak to persuade each other.<
/p>
When things got to this point, Li Yuxing didn't know where he got the courage, and kowtowed desperately again. "Master Immortal, the villain has realized his mistake. The villain has realized his mistake. All of this was the villain's idea, and all the punishment will be borne by the villain.
If you want to be beaten or killed, let me do whatever you want. Please be kind to the immortal master and let the rest of the Li family go."
"In order not to implicate others in the Li family, you are willing to risk your life without fear of death?" Sun Huo was a little surprised, but Li Yuxing did not dare and could not say anything else, he just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, since this kid has confessed his fault, why not let him go for the sake of both of us, inform the person in charge of what happened next, and then let the monks from the Li family come to personally apologize to fellow Taoist.
Of course, there will be no shortage of confession gifts. I think you will be absolutely satisfied, how about it?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Zhuang quickly stood up and mediated with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, you are serious. This is just a secular dispute between me and him. How can I go to the Li family and send another monk to apologize. I can't bear it, so it's better to settle it in a secular way." Sun Huo's tactics
With a flicker, the silver umbrella stretched out in front of him suddenly changed direction and was carried behind his back like a sword. Then he turned away and turned to Xiao Zhuang and said politely.
Looking at Li Yuxing again, Sun Huo said coldly. "You and I have only met twice in total, but coincidentally, we bullied each other every time. It seems that the punishment last time was too light, so
Don't remember the lesson. Go back and tell your family head that this time I want the Li family to promise to do something for me as an apology, even if it costs the whole family's financial resources. As for your life, I will not take it.
If you are neither a slave nor a maid, it is useless to come."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people changed, especially Li Yuxing, whose face was pale and almost colorless.
If Sun Huo learned anything when he went out this time, it was that from the conditions of the prisoners he saw, he realized that taking human lives is not the best way to take revenge, because sometimes death is a kind of relief, and the only way to kill people is to kill the heart.
This is the true punishment. Since he heard that the other party would rather die than harm his family, he just did the opposite. As for this promise, he didn't care whether he would really fulfill it in the future.
It's just that this kind of thinking is not known to the two of Xiaozhuang. In their view, Sun Huo's move is not to suppress or threaten the Li family, but to set a trap for them. It is a trivial matter to waste financial resources, but
To be named as one of the clan will make the Li family lose face. Today they are here to witness the mediation. Regardless of whether they go to the Li family to persuade peace and promote this matter, their family will definitely have a quarrel with them. In fact,
It was very insidious. At this moment, Xiao Zhuang finally determined in his heart that Sun Huo was not a young and ignorant person, but was very good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, I think you are really wronging yourself by making such a condition. After all, no matter how good the worldly things are, they are of no help to our practice. It would be better to find something else, such as handing over some aged elixirs.
"Yes." After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zifeng finally made a seemingly compromise suggestion.
