Chapter 359: Spare Your Life
"Shut your mouth. Did I tell you to speak?" Lin Feng glared fiercely at Yang Lili.
Watching Lin Feng's display of overbearing dominance, Yang Lili felt neither dissatisfaction nor grievance; instead, she revealed a look of infatuation, acting like a lovesick fool on the spot.
Lin Feng ignored Yang Lili and said to Luo Sitong, "Take me to see Li Xueyan now. She possesses a very unique Artifact Refining Technique that she must contribute. With this Artifact Refining Technique, the level of the artifact refiners in Dragon Soul can be raised by a notch."
Upon hearing this, Luo Sitong was both shocked and delighted.
"Mr. Lin, are you serious? This is no small matter; please don't lie to me!" Luo Sitong said.
"Do I look like I'm joking? Stop the nonsense and lead the way," Lin Feng said with a wave of his hand.
Luo Sitong immediately led the way, while Yang Lili and Chen Yilin followed closely behind Lin Feng, heading with him under Luo Sitong's guidance toward the underground cells of the Dragon Soul Branch.
The underground cells were not gloomy at all; on the contrary, they were clean, tidy, and brightly lit.
"It's you! It's you!"
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Let me out, I promise I will never offend you again, I will definitely walk around you when I see you..."
In one of the cells, a disheveled young man grabbed the iron bars of the door and wailed at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took one look and recognized the young man's identity.
The eldest young master of the Sun Family, Sun Shaowen!
Sun Shaowen had offended Lin Feng on the high-speed train, and after getting off, he had even called his family's bodyguards to try and surround Lin Feng, but a single word from Lin Feng had summoned Luo Sitong and dozens of Divine Dragon Guards, who had captured Sun Shaowen on the spot.
Furthermore, the Head of the Family of the Sun Family, Sun Feilong, and the second-in-command of the Sun Family, Sun Feihu, had also been captured together.
The old matriarch of the Sun Family and countless female members of the Sun Family had run to the hotel where Lin Feng was staying and knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, before Lin Feng finally softened his heart and released Sun Feilong and Sun Feihu.
But Sun Shaowen had remained locked up here until now.
Luo Sitong took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Lin, how exactly should we deal with Young Master Sun?"
Lin Feng did not speak.
Yang Lili said with a look of shock, "I was wondering why I hadn't seen Sun Shaowen for a while; I thought he had gone abroad for a vacation. Turns out he's been locked up here all this time! Lin Feng, what did this guy do?"
"I met him on the high-speed train to Binhai City. He spoke rudely and even attacked me, so I locked him up here," Lin Feng said.
"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Yang Lili said in disbelief.
"Exaggerated?"
Lin Feng snorted coldly and said bluntly, "Don't forget, I am the Dragon Soul War King. Him attacking me is no small matter; it is already enough to warrant a death sentence."
Yang Lili immediately fell silent.
Chen Yilin revealed a look of worship, her beautiful eyes gazing infatuatedly at Lin Feng.
Sun Shaowen was the eldest young master of the Sun Family; in Chen Yilin's eyes, Sun Shaowen was definitely a big shot with connections reaching the heavens.
Yet, such a big shot, who was incredibly formidable in her eyes, was someone Lin Feng could capture whenever he wanted and deal with however he pleased. This was simply... she didn't know how to describe it.
And the matter of Sun Shaowen could actually be big or small.
Offending the Dragon Soul War King, and even attacking the Dragon Soul War King, was indeed a capital offense.
But if Lin Feng himself did not pursue it, then there would be no major problem.
To put it simply, whether Sun Shaowen's crime was light or heavy depended entirely on Lin Feng's will. If Lin Feng did not want him to see the light of day again, he would never be able to get out of the Dragon Soul underground cells in his life. If Lin Feng wanted him dead, he would lose his life immediately.
"Mr. Lin, Sun Feilong and Sun Feihu have seen me many times during this period, and every time they beg bitterly. I'm almost annoyed to death by them."
"They even wanted to find you to apologize to you in person, but I warned them, so they didn't dare to bother you."
Luo Sitong did not dare to openly plead for Sun Shaowen, only stating the attitude of Sun Feilong and Sun Feihu.
Lin Feng could tell what Luo Sitong meant, and this guy Sun Shaowen had also paid the price.
So Lin Feng said, "Alright then, release him in a moment."
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Luo Sitong smiled and let out a sigh of relief.
Sun Shaowen in the cell heard Lin Feng's words and was both shocked and overjoyed; snot and tears streamed down his face.
Then he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin..."
Sun Shaowen shouted through his tears, unable to contain his excitement.
Lin Feng didn't even glance at Sun Shaowen, turning around to continue walking forward.
Yang Lili and Chen Yilin immediately followed, and Luo Sitong also hurriedly led the way.
Thus, before long, Lin Feng arrived at the door of the cell where Li Xueyan was being held.
It could be seen that there was not only Li Xueyan in the cell, but also a girl sitting in a wheelchair.
That girl had messy hair and red, swollen eyes; it seemed she had just cried not long ago.
And at this moment, she was holding a bowl of millet porridge in her hands, using a spoon to feed Li Xueyan bit by bit.
Last night, Li Xueyan had been injured by Lin Feng, and the injury was very severe. Although the Dragon Soul's apothecary had treated her, how could the Dragon Soul's apothecary's treatment methods compare to Lin Feng's?
So, although Li Xueyan's injury had improved and had not continued to worsen, she was still far from a full recovery.
"Li Xueyan, Mr. Lin has come to see you," Luo Sitong said.
Li Xueyan looked over at Lin Feng, the expression on her face very bitter.
The girl in the wheelchair seemed to realize something; she hurriedly put down the rice bowl in her hand and operated the wheelchair to move closer.
"Are you Mr. Lin? Please, I beg you to let my sister go, okay? She was forced; she didn't actually want to assassinate you... Please have mercy, we sisters depend on each other for survival; if she is gone, I won't be able to live either..." the girl in the wheelchair cried, her large eyes filled with tears.
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Why did you capture her as well?"
Luo Sitong touched the back of his head in surprise: "Wasn't it you, Mr. Lin, who told me to capture her?"
"I said to investigate," Lin Feng said irritably.
Luo Sitong laughed: "Captured is captured. Anyway, attacking the Dragon Soul War King is a crime that carries collective punishment; capturing her is also reasonable and justifiable."
Hearing the words "collective punishment," Li Xueyan was greatly alarmed.
She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't get up at all, so she gasped and said with great difficulty: "Don't hurt my sister. I will bear the consequences of my own actions; it has nothing to do with her..."
"It is too late to say this now. Mr. Lin is the Fifth War King of our Dragon Soul; your assassination attempt on him is enough to constitute the crime of treason! Never mind you, even your blood relatives within three generations must die!" Luo Sitong said heavily.
Li Xueyan's cheeks were pale, and her face was devoid of color.
"It is I who harmed you, Shanshan, I have failed you..." Li Xueyan said while sobbing.
