Chapter 105: 【One-stop Service】
Ye Fan and Jiang Tingting went to rescue the remaining mortals in this oasis, while Lin Xian stayed behind to interrogate the horse bandit leader.
"I'll say, I'll say... can I exchange my life if I say it?"
The horse bandit leader coughed up blood. In front of a Palace Realm strongman, he no longer had the arrogant momentum just now. There is great terror between life and death.
He thought he was used to killing, full of resentment, and would not be afraid of death.
But when death truly arrived, the horse bandit leader trembled, and suddenly realized that he was still afraid of death.
Being used to life and death does not mean seeing through one's own life and death.
The more you kill, the more you realize the preciousness of that life, and the less you want to die.
"I'll give you the time of a stick of incense. If you don't answer well within a stick of incense, your head will fall." Lin Xian said indifferently, pinched a stick of incense and inserted it into the red earth, coldly: "Where did you bandits come from, and how long have you been looting here?"
"Sir, I am really a disciple of the Thirteen Great Bandits." The horse bandit leader begged without backbone: "We are subordinates of the Third Great Bandit Xu Tianxiong. For the sake of that old man, let me go this time."
"I guarantee to delete all memories and will not leave anything related to you."
"Are you really people of the Thirteen Great Bandits?" A trace of solemnity appeared in Lin Xian's eyes, scolding: "We have seen the Green Flood Dragon King of the Demon race, he is also one of the Great Bandits. His subordinates, although arrogant and domineering, none of them will bully the weak."
When the Ji family attacked, the young Demon race of the Green Emperor lineage went to defect to the Green Flood Dragon King. This great demon acted ruthlessly, but was also a righteous person. Hearing that the Green Emperor lineage was in trouble, he immediately brought his men to support and widely summoned Demon race Great Powers.
This led to the conflict between the Demon race and the Ji family in the Profound Heaven Sect later.
"Are the two also people of the Great Bandits?" The horse bandit leader was overjoyed, as if he saw the hope of life: "It really is the water rushing to the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family."
"We are subordinates of Xu Yuan, the grandson of the Third Great Bandit Xu Tianxiong, and we are ordered by him to collect source stones here."
"Xu Yuan?" Lin Xian reacted suddenly and asked: "This place is Anzhou."
"Exactly." The horse bandit leader nodded hurriedly, accompanying with a flattering smile: "May I ask you, no, the three of you are high-ranking people under the Green Flood Dragon King?"
Lin Xian did not answer, just asked a few more questions.
When asked where Purple Mountain was, the horse bandit leader was confused. He, a bottom-level cultivator, let alone the Emperor Mountain, had not even heard of the name of the Demon Mountain.
However, the horse bandit leader had heard of the Qingxia Sect, Lihuo Sect, Luoxia Sect, Xuanyue Cave, and Qixing Pavilion, these small sects.
These belong to the bandit forces in another area. They seem to be ordinary immortal cultivation sects, but they secretly accommodate wanderers as white gloves, letting them loot everywhere to provide resources for the sect's cultivation, while they sit cleanly on the dry shore.
They are doing the same kind of thing as Xu Yuan.
It's just that Xu Yuan is a strong person in the Four Extremities Realm, while the several small sects of the Qingxia Sect have a maximum of Palace Realm, Third Level masters, and the area they rule is relatively small.
"Sir, I have said everything I know." The horse bandit leader looked forward incomparably: "Can I exchange for a life."
Ye Fan and Little Tingting comforted the remaining mortals in this oasis and walked over slowly, looking at the horse bandit leader with killing intent.
This horse bandit team was too ruthless, not only killing the young and strong, but even the old, weak, women, and children were not spared.
They just went to rescue the mortals and found a baby hanging on the flagpole, the blood had already flowed out, and it could not be saved.
"Her surname is Jiang, her great-grandfather's name is Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Zhe has a younger brother named Jiang Yi." Lin Xian said indifferently: "I think you also know."
"The Ninth Great Bandit Jiang Yi!" The horse bandit leader exclaimed, not expecting Jiang Tingting's identity to be so special.
"Great-grandfather's brother?" Jiang Tingting was slightly surprised, a trace of incomprehension appeared in her big eyes: "Is he a bad person who is a wanderer?"
"The good and evil of people cannot just look at what they say, but look at what they do."
"Harmful horses are everywhere. The Desolate Ancient aristocratic families are not all good people, and wanderers are not all bad people."
Lin Xian taught Jiang Tingting: "His life and death will be decided by you, Tingting. Do you think he should die or not."
"No..." The horse bandit leader's expression was panicked, hurriedly saying: "Little Princess of the Jiang family
"Ants?" A trace of disgust appeared in Jiang Tingting's eyes as she recalled the oppression she and her grandfather had suffered from those cultivators in Qingfeng Town, and then thought of the weeping orphans and widows in the oasis.
If evil is not eradicated, one can only imagine how many lives will be plunged into misery.
Even the young Jiang Tingting knew this truth, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Kill him!"
Ye Fan extended a finger, preparing to strike the bandit leader dead, but was stopped by Lin Xian.
"She is the Taiyin Goddess; in the future, she will dominate the universe and tread upon bones on the Imperial Path. A villain like this, she can handle herself."
Lin Xian said, and handed the bandit's spiritual weapon to Jiang Tingting.
Amidst the bandit's pleas, weeping, and curses, Jiang Tingting closed her eyes, ignited her divine power, and then threw the spiritual weapon with all her might, piercing the bandit leader's skull; for a moment, both red and white flowed out.
This evil weapon, which had slaughtered who knows how many mortals, finally ended the life of its master.
The head hit the ground, and the stick of incense on the floor had just burned out.
"Well done, well done, that unvirtuous Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable."
"Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, the soul returns to the Underworld."
"If there be any karma, let it all be added to the body of the Underworld Emperor."
Lin Xian chanted the past honorable name of Duan De, stepped forward to perform a one-stop service: first extracting the bandit's origin to feed the System, then using Spirit Restraint and General Dispatch to extract the fragile soul, and immediately summoning the Human Emperor Banner to deliver all living beings.
Master Ye, who had been busy for half a day, saw this and skillfully took out a mutton-fat jade bottle, releasing a wisp of true fire to incinerate everything.
This was true fire collected from the Nine-Layer Fire Domain; let alone ordinary cultivators, even the corpse of an Immortal Platform Great Ability could be burned until nothing remained. It was truly a divine artifact essential for murder, arson, destroying corpses, and home travel.
The raging fire burned, emitting a crackling sound, and the bandit leader's corpse turned into nourishment, moisturizing this land he had once plundered.
"What a pity."
Lin Xian held the Human Emperor Banner, shrouded in purple-black Primordial Purple Qi, swaying the myriad spirits; he truly had the demeanor of a Great Ability.
As for whether it was righteous or not, that was unknown.
"What is the Saint Master regretting?" Ye Fan, who was counting the bandit's legacy, became instantly alert and said with a solemn face, "Could it be that this guy took our source stones down to the Underworld?"
"That is not the case; I am just regretting that I learned two fewer skills back then."
Lin Xian sighed and shook his head; if he had learned the Dual All-Encompassing Hands back then, there would have been no need for interrogation and coercion.
Just strike them dead, use Spirit Restraint and General Dispatch to extract the soul, then use the Dual All-Encompassing Hands to search the soul, and finally use the Six—oh, no, use the Six Soul Banner to transcend them; that would be a true one-stop service.
