There were at least forty or fifty people gathered outside the door of Jianbao Pavilion, but the first thing Chen Taizhong saw was Fairy Hui.
The woman stood on the periphery of the crowd, with her maid behind her. The dead servant had been moved to someone unknown. She was whispering something to the three men and one woman beside her.
The three men and one woman are also talented people. The man is handsome and elegant, and the woman is extremely charming.
Chen Taizhong was startled for a moment, and then he took a step forward. However, as soon as he lifted his feet, four or five people were blocked in front of him, two of whom were wearing guard uniforms.
A guard at the eighth level of Youxian was the first to speak. He said with a smile, "Why, you want to leave after killing someone?"
Chen Taizhong glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention at all, but Wang Yanyan snorted from behind, "Who do you think you are, and you dare to stop my master?"
"I don't care who you are. When you come to Pinling, you must abide by the rules of Pinling." The man's face sank. "You two killed someone, so come with me."
Wang Yanyan became angry and said coldly, "Let's make a bet. Believe it or not, if I kill you, nothing will happen to you? Do you dare to bet?"
These words are too strong. You must remember that this is Pinling City, in a town. Killing people in a place like this is a big deal, let alone killing guards. If she dares to say this, her background is obviously astonishing.
When the eighth-level Immortal heard this, his eyes immediately froze.
But Wang Yanyan refused to let him go. Seeing that he didn't answer, she snorted again, "I'm very surprised. It's just killing a slave. How has it ever been your turn to be a guard?"
This is the rule of the Fenghuang world. The life and death of a slave is in the hands of the master, and the government generally cannot interfere, just like the head of a family can decide the life or death of the family's children.
Therefore, if a slave is killed and the master does not come forward, the guards have no reason to come forward. Of course, if the master feels that there is nothing he can do about the murderer, he can turn to the government for help.
But even if you turn to the government for help, there is basically no such thing as killing someone to pay for your life - a slave is not a full person at all, and on earth, his status is probably that of a large pet dog.
If a dog is beaten to death, the dog owner can either open his mouth to claim compensation, or he can beat the dog violently to vent his anger. He can even beat the dog violently and claim compensation, but there is no principle that one life is worth another life.
Unless the one who killed the dog was also a dog.
The eighth-level immortal was speechless by her, so he took two steps back - what he relied on was just this level of identity, and the other party would not accept this. He had no interest in answering the conversation for the time being.
The master who dared to openly talk about killing the guard in the city had either an amazing background or an idiot. Does the other party look like an idiot? He didn't think so.
He flinched, and a young man next to him asked, "Then what mistake did this man make? Do you want to kill him to vent your anger?"
Just before Wang Yanyan could answer, Chen Taizhong asked first, "The one who died was your slave?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, "No."
Chen Taizhong said one word expressionlessly, "Get out!"
"The one you killed was my slave," someone spoke not far away. The speaker was a young man with sharp eyebrows and fair skin, and his face was as sinking as water. "Should you give me an explanation?"
"Anyone who offends the superior shall be punished!" Wang Yanyan replied coldly.
"You two can be considered superior?" the fair-skinned man retorted unceremoniously, "Do you know who I am?"
"Oh," Wang Yanyan nodded loudly and spoke nonchalantly, "Say."
This person's mouth moved, but he didn't want to say anything anymore - Am I inviting disaster for my family?
So he changed the subject and asked instead, "Where are you two from?"
"That's why I can kill you without any problem," Wang Yanyan snorted disdainfully. She raised her hand and threw something at the guard who took two steps back. "Open your eyes and take a good look."
When the guard saw her raising her hand, he was frightened and took a step back. When he saw that it was a jade identity token, he stretched out his hand and took the jade identity token in his hand.
He first glanced at it roughly, then took out a jade collector to identify it, and then the corners of his mouth turned up more and more, and finally he laughed out loud, "Ha, I thought he was so awesome, but it turns out he's just a random person."
build."
"Blinding your eyes," Wang Yanyan smiled disdainfully, "look at how many achievements I have made."
Only then did the eighth-level Immortal remember that there was something to be said about meritorious deeds, and then he looked along and was stunned. The upturned corner of his mouth was replaced by a look of shock, "You... you actually have so many meritorious deeds?
"
Merits are not something ordinary people can afford. Wang Yanyan was born as a casual cultivator and has no sect or position. So at this moment, her more than 700 meritorious deeds are quite worth pondering.
Merit has never been so easy to earn. People with status do not have much merit. This situation is very common. There are many merits but no status. There are not many people in Fenghuang Realm after many times.
Meritorious service cannot be false, which means that other information about this woman may be false.
"With all my merits, if I kill a small guard of yours, will anyone help you?" Wang Yanyan asked with a smile.
The man immediately did not dare to say anything more, stretched out his hands, respectfully handed back the jade badge of identity, turned around and left without saying a word.
Why is meritorious service valuable? It is not only the basis for promotion, but also a weapon to reduce crime. If you accidentally kill a few people, you can use meritorious service to offset it. There are more than 700 meritorious service, which is enough to kill four or five immortal guards with impunity.
Merits are not easy to earn. Wang Yanyan only earned five merits for killing a second-level immortal thief in Meishui City. If she had more than 700 merits, she would have to kill at least a hundred first-level immortals.
Of course, as an outsider, if she kills a guard in Pinling City, if the local government must investigate her, she can be sentenced to one life for another. However, if she escapes, she will not be wanted. The identity card
Still valid.
What's great is that Pinling is wanted alone, and that's all if he doesn't come to Pinling again.
If the Pinling people are strong now and can force her to surrender, this is the so-called strong dragon that cannot suppress the local snake. But if she is confident that she can get away, it is like "the fierce dragon cannot cross the river".
In this situation, how could a small eighth-level Immortal Guard dare to get involved? His death would probably be in vain.
Wang Yanyan put away her identity badge and glanced around coldly. She was wearing a veil, so others couldn't see her expression, but the contempt in her eyes was visible to everyone, "Who else wants to die?"
"Woman, are you too crazy?" The fair-skinned young man couldn't bear to look down on him, "My servant will die if he dies. Are you so arrogant, don't you take the cultivators in Pinling into consideration?"
"That's right," another tall, fat young man shouted loudly next to him, "If you want to act wild, you have to look at the place. This is Pinling. How dare you two offend Fairy Hui?"
"Teach these two foreigners a lesson," someone else, hiding in the crowd, loudly added fuel to the fire.
In the excitement of the crowd, a thin young man walked out, looked directly at Chen Taizhong, put his hand on the sword at his waist, and spoke word by word, "Crazy man, apologize to Fairy Hui, or else...die!"
"Wow, even the thirteenth son of the Yan family has become famous," someone exclaimed, "Hui Fairy's popularity is really high."
Chen Taizhong looked at the skinny young man indifferently and frowned slightly. A first-level spiritual immortal was actually called "Lang", so he must be very young.
He is such an impulsive age. He said calmly, "Ant, are you looking for death?"
"No one can insult Fairy Hui without being punished," the young man replied seriously, with a slight blush on his face, and he couldn't help but glance at Fairy Hui.
Hui Xianzi gave him a faint smile.
The young man's blood immediately surged throughout his body, and he spoke loudly, "Apologise! Or...die!"
"Noisy," Chen Taizhong snorted coldly. Without thinking, he struck directly with his spiritual consciousness, knocked the man to the ground, then raised his legs and walked out of the crowd.
There was someone in front who wanted to stop him, so Wang Yanyan pulled out her spear, opened the door with a crackle, and forced her master to clear a way out.
This aroused public outrage. Everyone was about to catch up when someone suddenly noticed something strange and said, "Look at that man's feet!"
Chen Taizhong walked step by step, but careful people could see that his feet did not touch the ground, but were still about a punch away from the ground.
There are too many discerning cultivators in the city, and someone suddenly took a breath of cold air, "Uh...is it a fairy?"
Hui Xianzi had an indifferent face at first, and was about to take a step to see the unconscious thirteenth son of the Yan family. When she suddenly heard these words, she couldn't help but look sideways, and a trace of shock suddenly appeared on her pretty face, "Heavenly Immortal?
"
The next moment, she turned around in a hurry and whispered to the three men and one woman, "Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Fang... do you see?"
Senior Brother Gu is a young man dressed in smart clothes, with a cold face at all times and a serious smile. He said calmly, "There are immortals in my sect, so don't be afraid!"
Chen Taizhong, the master and the servant, shook off everyone, returned to the small courtyard they rented, and started preparing dinner.
As for whether there is anyone watching outside, they don't care at all. No one dares to come in anyway. Anyone who dares to come in is breaking into a house and can be killed directly.
The next day, it was drizzling again. After breakfast, Chen Taizhong's master and servant went out. As they walked, they inquired about the location of the Vampire Vine Li family.
Although the Li family in Pinling is not what it used to be, it is still a top family. If you ask casually, someone will point out the direction.
Behind the two people, there were a few idle men in the distance. Soon, they also knew that these two people were looking for the Li family.
After hearing such news, some people's expressions changed slightly and they set off to send the message. Others followed leisurely and from a distance.
In the drizzle, a young man wearing a light blue gown was strolling leisurely. Behind him was a masked maid, carrying a flower basket in one hand and holding an umbrella for him in the other.
Arriving at a large door, the maid nodded slightly to the guard, "Is it the Vampire Vine Li Mansion?"
The guard frowned slightly, "It's the Li Mansion. What are you two doing here?"
