Chapter 809

At the same time.

In the main hall.

On a huge round table, a serious meeting unfolded.

"What do you think of the Living Yama's words?"

Bai Xin sat at the head, her gaze sweeping over the high-level members of the Ruthless Sect, and she said with a serious face.

Wang Lao, Lei Bao, and Guo Wuji, who was sitting on a chair, all looked solemn.

Wang Lao held his hands and spoke first, "First of all, this old man will express his opinion. I support releasing this Living Yama."

Bai Xin's cold and serious eyes looked at Wang Lao, "Wang Lao, tell me your reasons, this Sect Leader will make a detailed record."

She held a brush, had a piece of rice paper in front of her, and raised the brush, ready to record.

Wang Lao coughed twice and said, "Nothing else, just because he gives too much!"

"The Living Yama gives too much, it's really too much."

When Wang Lao said this, his tone also became excited.

"That's ten times! A full thirty thousand taels of silver!"

"In recent years, as our sect has been promoting 'those who are ruthless achieve great things,' our scale has expanded rapidly, and what follows is a shortage of silver. As the saying goes, with silver you can travel a thousand miles, without silver you can't move an inch!"

"If our sect wants to go further, silver is indispensable!"

Wang Lao spoke, and Bai Xin nodded solemnly, writing the word "more" on the rice paper.

Lei Bao waved his hand and said flatly, "I disagree, we should kill this Living Yama immediately."

"Why?" Bai Xin asked.

"Sect Leader, does this still need to be thought about? The Living Yama is cunning by nature and extremely vicious. Even if his words blow up to the sky, they must never be believed!"

"Not to mention the Sect Leader gave him a few punches!"

"I think killing him is the end of it! Although I, Lei Bao, don't know whose words are true or false between the Living Yama and the Empress Dowager, killing him is the safest. Although thirty thousand taels is a lot, the risk of sending someone to ask for it is huge, let alone letting him go back and ask for it!"

"Once he changes his face, that's the Minister of Revenue of Da Qian, the eldest young master of the Dingguo Duke Prefecture, and the Empress's favorite official, Gao Yang!"

"Who the hell dares to ask for it?"

Lei Bao had a fiery temper and spoke directly.

Bai Xin looked solemn and wrote a "kill" on the paper!

Then, the two scanned Guo Wuji.

Guo Wuji then said, "Sect Leader, my intuition tells me that this Living Yama is the real culprit of the 'Sunflower Manual', and the Prime Minister is wronged!"

Bai Xin raised her brush to write, but Guo Wuji interrupted immediately.

"But when the Sect Leader couldn't practice this secret manual, my intuition was that practicing this divine skill would definitely make me a famous Jianghu expert!"

"But even if I don't say the ending, everyone knows a thing or two. Therefore—I don't believe my intuition."

"I believe him!"

Guo Wuji said.

Lei Bao's face was ugly. Now, four votes for kill, one vote for not kill.

He couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader, what do you think?"

Bai Xin squinted and said, "I also think we can spare this Living Yama's life."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Several people were shocked. Bai Xin actually changed her mind!

"Sect Leader, why?" Lei Bao was a bit anxious.

"The first point is naturally as Wang Lao said, the Living Yama gives too much."

"Then what if we let him go and he turns his back on us?"

Bai Xin's eyes were cold and sharp, and she smiled, "This Sect Leader has her own ways. When we were leaving the palace, the Living Yama, in order to save his life, once said that as long as I spare his life, he is willing to send all the hundreds of thousands of taels of embezzled silver."

"Is the Sect Leader moved just like that?" Lei Bao said incredulously.

"This Sect Leader is not a fool. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if you want to take it, you have to have the life to take it! If you take so much of his silver, can the Living Yama not chase and kill us desperately?"

"I mean that thirty thousand taels is not much for the Living Yama. He uses it to buy his life, so it won't become hatred. There is another point, that is, he inadvertently revealed an astonishing piece of news."

"He embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels!"

"Having this handle is undoubtedly a great deterrent to the Living Yama, and this gave this Sect Leader an inspiration. If we make him honestly confess the secret of his embezzlement, some fatal secrets, are we afraid he won't give the thirty thousand taels of silver afterwards?"

Instantly, everyone's eyes brightened.

Even Lei Bao fell into thought. This method sounds feasible!

"And even if we take a ten-thousand-step back, we have already dug a tunnel. When we let the Living Yama go, we can transfer through the tunnel and watch secretly!"

"Even if the Living Yama wants to act, we have already transferred secretly. By then, we will make the Living Yama's secrets public and make him look good!"

"And other things can be cheated, but the poisonous schemes that make my Ruthless Sect grow, how can this be cheated? The Living Yama's poison is famous all over the world. His two poisonous schemes are worth far more than three thousand taels!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Several people looked at each other, and even Lei Bao was extremely moved.

These words sound very reasonable!

"Then what if the Living Yama doesn't honestly confess his secrets?" Lei Bao said.

Bai Xin squinted her eyes and said with killing intent, "Then it won't be too late to kill him!"

Soon, several people discussed it and reached a consensus.

"Sect Leader is wise!"

"Sect Leader is wise!"

Wang Lao said, "Sect Leader, shall I release the Living Yama now?"

Bai Xin waved her hand and said, "No hurry, let him hang for a day first. Only by letting the Living Yama feel the threat of death will he be more cooperative later!"
