Chapter 84: There is a monthly ticket for cause and effect)
The Li family's interrogation methods are simpler and rougher than those of the Longmen sect, and they are no less generous.
The guards killed three people in a row, but there was a reason for choosing these three people. These three people were already disabled, and their will to die should be relatively strong, so they could be used to warn other prisoners.
This method had an excellent effect. Although the fourth prisoner also had his left hand cut off, looking at the three headless corpses on the ground, he was so frightened that he asked tremblingly, "If I tell you, can you leave me a way to live?"
"
"I can't decide whether you live or die," the guard laughed ferociously. Two of his companions died at the hands of the Longmen Sect, and he himself was blind in one eye. How could he allow the other party to live?
The prisoner subconsciously looked at the middle-aged lady and said tremblingly, "Sir, I'm just a handyman. I really haven't offended you."
Li Dong glanced at her husband expressionlessly, and then looked at the ninth-level immortal with superior combat power - this person's opinion should be taken seriously the most.
Chen Taizhong didn't even raise his eyelids and concentrated on examining his harvest. There were quite a lot of good stuff in the more than twenty storage bags. The net worth of the disciples of the sect was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary casual cultivators.
Mrs. Li Dong looked at her niece again, only to find that her niece was looking at the ninth-level immortal in shock.
This is trouble again! She sighed softly in her heart, then turned to look at the prisoner and said with a stern face, "If others have no objections and your words are credible, I will allow you to spend the rest of your life in the Li family prison.
"
Huh? When Chen Taizhong heard this, he couldn't help but frown, raised his head to look at Mr. Li, and asked with a smile, "Oh, do you think the Li family also has a private prison?"
"You have no idea how big the Li family is," the little beauty with an oval face seemed to have spotted him. Seeing him speak, she sneered disdainfully, "The total number of our and other branches is nearly 30,000... How is it possible that there are no private cells?
"
Chen Taizhong didn't even look at her, he just looked at Li Dongshi. "There are also casual cultivators in private cells, right?"
"Those who do not follow the rules will be locked up, even if they are the disciples of the sect in front of me," Li Dongshi answered accurately, and then asked tentatively, "Your Excellency has great combat power and profound skills. Isn't he also a casual cultivator?"
?”
Chen Taizhong remained silent for a long time before snorting, "Just ask, it's really inexplicable that he would be involved in such a stupid thing."
Although it was a life-long water prison, living was better than dying. The prisoner immediately told the whole story.
It turns out that the Longmen Sect's sneak attack on the Qinglian Sword Sect was not an act of the sect, but a personal act of Li You, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Not long ago, Hall Master Li's nephew was killed, and an outer disciple was also killed at the same time. The Law Enforcement Hall went out to investigate. They found that although it seemed that he died from robbery, the body was cut into pieces. It was obviously
What information do you want to hide?
Moreover, this incident happened not far from the mountain gate, and the Longmen Sect’s reputation was also very important.
After careful investigation, I found that something was very strange. Not long ago, a dozen ordinary people disappeared near the mountain gate. Deputy Hall Master Li invited the elders of the faction to come out and use secret techniques to investigate.
As mentioned above, there are many ways to disrupt the secret of heaven. However, the murderer was very careful and did not conceal his aura when killing an ordinary person. As a result, he was caught by the elder and followed the aura to find the place where the body was buried.
This body was beheaded. There was nothing to detect, but there were seven or eight other bodies in the pit.
Those corpses, perhaps the murderer was very confident in masking his aura. There were actually two corpses, and it could be seen that they died from the moves of the Qinglian Sword Sect.
After checking this, the truth became clear. The murderer robbed and killed ordinary people because he wanted to know the information about the two disciples. Regardless of whether he knew the information or not, he would kill and silence them.
Then why did the Qinglian Sword Sect attack two disciples? There must be some grudge, but why did they attack so secretly? It was obvious that the other party was afraid of Li You's fourth-level spiritual power and the identity of the deputy hall leader.
, fearing retaliation.
When Wang Yanyan heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "What are the names of the two dead outer disciples?"
"Hall Master Li's nephew is named Li Yi, and he also has a disciple named Meng Yong," the prisoner answered honestly.
Let me tell you, Chen Taizhong raised his head and glanced at Wang Yanyan. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Wang Yanyan also had a shocking feeling in her heart, but she remembered that when her master advanced to the ninth level, two disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect thought that a strange treasure had been born and came to rob it.
Those two disciples were killed by their master, but when the master signed up, he shouted "I am Li Yi of the Longmen Sect."
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Wang Yanyan drooped her eyelids and wondered to herself, could it be that the two disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect recorded the murderer's information before they died?
Anyway, when casual cultivators talk about sects, they feel scary, and this is the reason why - there are so many secret techniques in each sect, it is almost impossible to guard against them.
Everyone had guessed what the prisoner was going to say next.
The Qinglian Sword Sect kills people on the territory of the Longmen Sect, which is a bit bad in nature, but it is not unbearable - the people who died were just ordinary people, and there is no direct evidence that the deaths of Li Yi and Meng Yong were done by the Qinglian Sword Sect.
.
Objectively speaking, the Longmen Sect cannot even say that there is any necessary connection between the dozen ordinary people who died and the murder of the two outer disciples.
In this case, it is natural not to start a fight lightly. After all, the two sects have the same strength and status. Fighting over a trivial matter will hurt both sides, and it will only make others easier.
In fact, for small conflicts at the sect level, even if one or two immortals are lost, most of them have to sit down and talk. The consequences of a sect war are too serious. No one will choose the last path unless they have to.
However, the disgusting part of the Qinglian Sword Sect's actions is also here. They hide their heads and do not expose their identities at all. The Longmen Sect wants to sit down and talk with the other party, but... they can't talk.
ah.
The two outer sect disciples who died were not a big deal, but the Longmen sect’s reputation was somewhat unsettled.
Deputy Hall Master Li can't swallow his tone - everyone knows that I'm not easy to mess with, and yet he secretly kills my nephew. If I don't show any sign, wouldn't it mean that I'm easy to fool?
Seriously, if the Qinglian Sword Sect came to seek revenge, even if Li Yi was killed in the duel and the other party made some compensation, Deputy Hall Master Li would have no choice but to forget about it.
Out of this consideration, he organized a team of people, determined to deal "blood for blood, tooth for tooth" against the Qinglian Sword Sect.
As for who he wanted to kill specifically, he hadn't thought about it. Anyway, he always had to kill a bunch of immortals to relieve his anger. He also wanted to let the Qinglian Sword Sect have a taste of what it means for a mute to eat Coptis chinensis and not be able to tell the pain.
Due to his status, Li You could not lead the team in person, so he sent his wife Jin Baoer to lead the team, as well as his fourth junior brother - in fact, he, the senior brother, was passing on the skills on behalf of the teacher, and was basically equivalent to half a master.
Although the combat power of this team is not very high, the mix is quite reasonable. There are some who are good at tracking, some who are good at attacking, and some who are good at using poison. With Li Dong's majestic second-level spirit immortal, he was defeated in one encounter.
She is not allowed to exert her highest fighting power.
It is precisely because of the purpose of revenge that this group of people, under the guise of the Qinglian Sword Sect, saw the place where the cultivators were gathering and struck ruthlessly and decisively, also... leaving no one alive.
As for how many innocent people have been implicated, it is not within their scope of consideration.
After listening to the prisoners' confessions, everyone's expressions were uncertain, and some even shouted angrily, "This is called an unreasonable disaster!"
Chen Taizhong had no expression on his face, but he was secretly speechless. I was the one who choked him, co-authored it...or was it caused by his buddies?
Li Dongshi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "Let's also ask about other people's confessions."
After others took the captives down, she looked at the young Youxian and said, "Your Excellency saved my family and my niece. I have to thank you for such a great kindness. I wonder if you can tell me your name?"
Chen Taizhong raised his eyebrows at first, and then he patted the many storage bags on his waist and replied with a smile, "Why are you so polite? If it weren't for this layer of cause and effect, I would be embarrassed to rob so many storage bags."
Li Dongshi's complexion suddenly turned a little dark.
"The joy you gain is based on the pain of others," the oval-faced girl said coldly. She didn't know why, but she just didn't like him, although she also knew that it was this person who saved her.
Saved my aunt and uncle.
"The prosperity of the sect and the family is also based on the pain of casual cultivators," Chen Taizhong still didn't look at her, he just answered indifferently, and then twitched the corners of his mouth indifferently.
"So you are really a casual cultivator," the girl sneered.
"Okay Xiaoqian," it was the middle-aged Li Dongshi who spoke. She said very unhappy, "If you talk like that again, I won't take you out again."
The girl named Xiaoqian curled her lips, looking very resentful, but finally said nothing more.
Mrs. Li was also quite helpless. Her niece had been spoiled a bit, and she was too self-righteous - if someone speaks for a casual cultivator, does it mean he is a casual cultivator? Such a master in the sect who fights against injustice, but
Quite a few.
Even if this person is really a casual cultivator, with his fighting power, Xiaoqian made people angry, who here can stop him?
She knew that this person had just been attacked by two second-level immortals and successfully killed them.
So, Li Dong could only change the topic. She glanced at the young Youxian and said, "The two immortals who were chasing you just now, are you sure they won't come back?"
"I'll be back if I can," Chen Taizhong replied casually, and then Shi Shiran stood up, "You guys stay, I'm going to practice."
"Brother, are you leaving?" Li Dongshi's man finally spoke. He was a little bit aggressive before, but now that he was rescued, he had to lower his profile.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him. He really didn't have the slightest fondness for his family and sect.
"I have not yet thanked you for your help," the middle-aged man said with difficulty, "I have no shame in asking for help, but there are still people from the Dragon Sect scurrying outside. I beg you to come forward and escort us to Morrowind Castle.
PS: Some people and some things are really disgusting. I have added a chapter temporarily. I am not going to vote for it, but I will honestly take the update and ask for monthly votes. There are two more chapters tonight, so I am calling for monthly votes.
