Chapter 210

Boom—!!!

The red-gold fire waves exploded on the quiet mountain road.

The scorching heat waves instantly scorched the branches and leaves of the dense forests on both sides until they curled and turned yellow. With that deep pit as the center, the plants within a radius of several dozen zhang were like being rubbed hard by an invisible giant hand of fire, falling to the ground in patches.

When the fire finally subsided, a "Big" character-shaped deep pit appeared on the mountain road, still emitting blue smoke. The rocks at the bottom of the pit had been melted by the high temperature into semi-liquid magma, slowly flowing with dark red light.

Lying at the bottom of the pit was a charred black figure.

For a moment, he couldn't even tell who the demon sect demon was.

However, at this moment, where was there any trace of his former Liu Fengzhu's demeanor.

That black clothing had long since turned to ashes, and his whole body was like charcoal just fished out of a furnace, his skin cracked inch by inch, revealing the dark red flesh burned underneath.

"Heh... heh..."

He lay there, his chest's weak rise and fall like a candle in the wind, every breath seeming to use up the last bit of strength in his life, a residual wheezing sound like a broken bellows coming from his throat.

The instinct to survive in his body made him desperately want to open his eyes.

But those eyes that were once sharp as an eagle's no longer had the strength to even open, and the edges of his vision were being swallowed by darkness bit by bit.

Liu Liu Qingyu walked slowly to the edge of the pit, looking down at the charred body below, a look of extreme complexity flashing in her star-like eyes.

She hated this person to the bone.

The moment she saw the tragedy at Jin Chen Peak, she swore to bring this beast to justice on the spot.

But when she truly saw Lu Xiao lying at the bottom of the pit in this state, her heart still couldn't help but ripple with a trace of emotion.

After all, this person had once fought side by side with her against enemies, had once been one of the five Peak Masters of the Tianqing Sect, and had once had years of being respected and looked up to by disciples.

She sighed softly: "Why did it come to this."

There was no pity in that sigh, only a kind of complexity after the dust had settled.

Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Jiang Ye beside her, only to see that there was not a ripple on that aged face.

It was as if the person suppressed and killed by that seal just now was not a Liu Fengzhu who had once sat on equal footing with him, but just an ant blocking the way that he had stepped on casually.

"This Elder Jiang's cultivation of his temperament is truly..."

Liu Liu Qingyu couldn't help but feel admiration.

She seemed to have never seen too much emotional fluctuation on this old face.

"Liu Fengzhu Liu, let's take his head and go back to report to the Sect Master."

Jiang Ye spoke with a calm expression, and with a wave of his hand, a red-gold true qi swept across the bottom of the pit, cleanly and neatly decapitating Lu Xiao's charred head.

"Hmm, it is time to go back."

Liu Liu Qingyu nodded slightly, and with a casual wave, a gentle water true qi surged from her hand, capturing Lu Xiao's head into a prepared wooden box.

Lu Xiao's sins were on par with the Qisha Sect demons.

Bringing this head back, it would at least have to be hung at the mountain gate to be exposed to the sun for a month.

After the two returned to the prefecture city, Jiang Ye's gaze moved slightly, as if he were pondering something, and he suddenly said:

"Liu Fengzhu Liu, I have some small matters to attend to, you go back to the sect first."

Hearing this, a hidden strange color flashed in Liu Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes.

She didn't ask much, nodded slightly, said goodbye to Jiang Ye, and turned to return to the Tianqing Sect first.

After watching Liu Liu Qingyu's graceful back disappear, he withdrew his gaze and looked toward another direction in the prefecture city.

"It's been a while since I've seen Liu Liu Qingshi and the others."

Jiang Ye murmured softly.

Going to the Upper Sect in Linzhou is quite a long journey.

Although he will definitely return to the prefecture city in the future, before setting off, he should go take a look.

It would at least bring some peace of mind.

"However, before that, let's go to the Su family first."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly.

From here, the Su family is closer than the Liu residence.

Moreover, the Su family's business needs his tiger skin even more.

Su family.

Inside the guest hall, the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Consultant Zhang, what do you mean by this!"

Su Yan looked at the three people in front of her with a cold expression.

She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue dress today, and that pretty face, which usually always wore a gentle smile, was now full of frost.

The Su family has developed rapidly during this period, so naturally, they have recruited Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists as consultants.

However, the stronger the recruited consultants, the more the problems have gradually become prominent.

The Transformation of Force consultants recruited before didn't have any trouble because of Liu Liu Qingshi.

The three Embracing the Pill Realm consultants in front of her were initially honest because the lingering prestige of the 'Head-chopping Demon' was still there.

However, as time dragged on, these three Embracing the Pill Realm consultants understood the Su family more and more.

They gradually lost their sense of awe.

Their appetites, moreover, became larger and larger.

Now, they are even directly demanding a share of the profits from the business lines.

This undoubtedly touched Su Yan's bottom line.

The leading Embracing the Pill Realm consultant was an old man dressed in black martial attire with half-white hair.

His name was Zhang Cheng, and he had the strength of the mid-stage of the Embracing the Pill Realm, belonging to the leader among the three Embracing the Pill Realm consultants.

This time coming to demand a share of the business lines was also his idea.

Seeing Su Yan angry, he said with a smile:

"Miss Su, we have heard that that Transformation of Force consultant, Liu Liu Qingshi, directly enjoys a share of the business line profits..."

"Why, he, a Transformation of Force martial artist, can have a share, but we three brothers, whose strength is stronger than his, do not?"

"If this gets out, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very fair."
