Chapter 201: Come, Let Me See!

The old Daoist Qingxu wants to settle the Causality.

Li Heng then grants his wish, not making things difficult for others.

But since it must be settled, he must thoroughly squeeze out the remaining value of the old Daoist Qingxu; he will temporarily detain his disciple here, and wait for him to return to the mountain gate to bring things over before discussing further.

And during this period, he also intends to conduct an experiment.

For instance, using Qingfeng's Luck to perceive the Heaven and Earth Principles.

But before that.

He must first resolve the matter between him and this group of aristocratic Second Heaven, and rescue Meng Lingyun and Ma Suxuan.

"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?"

The group of aristocratic Second Heaven frowned upon hearing this.

Just now, Li Heng had asked them who exactly agreed to the wanted order and tacitly approved of Jin Feihai's series of actions; it was clear he also intended to challenge them. It was just that because of the arrival of the old Daoist Qingxu, it was temporarily interrupted.

But now he still wants to continue where he left off?

Not only does he want to challenge them and demand benefits, but he also wants to settle the final accounts? This statement is too severe; does he really want to fall out with them, these aristocratic families?

You are indeed very strong, and even defeated Xuan Dao.

It can be said that with no Dharma Aspect appearing, who can contend with you?

But among them, which one of those from aristocratic families does not have a Dharma Aspect expert sitting in their family?

You can beat Xuan Dao, but can you beat a Dharma Aspect expert? Even if a Dharma Aspect expert does not tread the mortal world, that is no reason for you to provoke them; otherwise, you are just courting death.

"I believe you all know what I mean."

"Anyone involved in this matter, stand out for me. Of course, you can also hide in the crowd and remain silent. But you must know that confession brings leniency, and resistance brings severity."

"If I drag you out."

"Then it won't be as simple as just offering an apology."

Li Heng spoke calmly, his voice light, yet it transformed into a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the many aristocratic Second Heaven, causing their expressions to change.

They can accept offering compensation, but they absolutely cannot apologize.

Because an apology involves the face of their entire aristocratic family.

"This matter was handled poorly by us, but you should not push your luck. Releasing Ma Suxuan and the others and compensating for the losses, we can do. But an apology, let's skip that."

One aristocratic Second Heaven spoke up.

"Oh? Why can you offer compensation but not apologize?"

Li Heng asked with a smile.

The Second Heaven did not answer; they were somewhat annoyed in their hearts. This person is truly asking what he already knows. Are we bowing our heads because we did something wrong? It is nothing more than fearing your powerful combat strength.

In the way aristocratic families act, there is never such a thing as doing something wrong!

"I think everyone should take a step back, how about that?"

At this moment, Ma Zonghua stood out and said softly.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly; someone from the Ma Family?

He could sense that familiar aura of the Yang Extreme True Flame.

"Since you are an old friend of Ma Suxuan, then forgive this old man for relying on his age to lecture you, please take a step back. If everyone takes a step back, the sea and sky will be vast; it is not only good for you, but also good for Ma Suxuan and the others."

Ma Zonghua sighed softly.

"My name is Ma Zonghua, and I am Ma Suxuan's uncle."

He added another sentence, fearing that Li Heng would be impulsive.

He had already seen it; this old friend of Ma Suxuan is a person who fears neither Heaven nor Earth, and would not care about the dignity of an aristocratic family at all. If no one came out to stop him a little, he would even dare to poke a hole in the sky.

At that time, it would only cause even greater trouble.

As a person of an aristocratic family, he knows the characteristics of aristocratic families very well.

You can make an aristocratic family suffer a loss, and you can make them hand over benefits, but it is absolutely impossible to make an aristocratic family admit they are wrong. The arrogance and bloodline of an aristocratic family determine that the things they do will never be wrong.

An aristocratic family will not make concessions on this point.

Li Heng smiled lightly upon hearing this.

"This matter has something to do with you, right?"

Ma Zonghua was silent upon hearing this, then nodded.

"That's right, I did indeed know about this matter, and I also tacitly approved of it. Aside from not helping Jin Feihai, I let Jin Feihai act as he pleased and did not carry out the slightest obstruction."

"But are you both from the Ma Family?"

Li Heng asked curiously.

"Being able to let a rebellious wanderer return home, isn't this a good thing?"

Ma Zonghua asked in return.

Li Heng nodded upon hearing this; so that was it.

As one of the aristocratic families, the Ma Family stood by and watched, letting Ma Suxuan be locked into the Heavenly Prison; it turns out they wanted to take this opportunity to strip Ma Suxuan of her official position and then bring her back to the family?

How should he put it? This made him very unhappy.

Although he cannot easily judge this kind of behavior.

But what he is unhappy about is that because of Ma Zonghua's deliberate neglect, these troubles spilled over to others, such as Meng Lingyun, who is both a teacher and a friend to him, and even himself.

If he didn't still have a bit of strength.

He was afraid he would have already died on the road to the Prefecture.

"What you see as a good thing is not necessarily a good thing for others."

Li Heng said meaningfully.

Ma Zonghua thought this "others" simply referred to Ma Suxuan, and directly retorted, "How can it not be considered a good thing? Returning to the family didn't make her pay any price, and she can even obtain benefits."

"She has been estranged from home for decades; do you know how her parents feel about her? Although you are a friend of Ma Suxuan, this is a family matter of our Ma Family, and I don't think there is any need for you to interfere."

This old man played the emotional card directly.

"No need to interfere?"

Li Heng laughed softly, then his aura shook violently, rising from the Third Heaven like a pillar of force, shaking the entire Jinhua City; his eyes, containing divine light, looked at Ma Zonghua.

"Of course there is a need."

"You put out a warrant for me, and you also put out a warrant for my good friend."

"Do you think this can be covered up just by calling it a family matter? How could it be that easy to talk through? I don't care if you are arrogant or disdainful. I only give you half a day to consider, and to act."

"Release Ma Suxuan and the others, and offer an apology."

"If not, I don't mind using thunderous means."

Li Heng looked down from above and issued a notice to all the Second Heaven of the noble families.

He came to Jinhua City this time to make a big scene, and he would absolutely not stop until a Dharma Aspect Realm expert appeared. Not to mention that he had a poor impression of the noble families and had many grudges with the Ye Family and the Wang Family, so he would make as much trouble as possible. Not convinced? If you're not convinced, you'll just have to hold it in!

If some irresistible force really popped up.

He was confident he could carry out a strategic withdrawal.

The expressions of the noble family Second Heaven changed drastically.

In their hearts, they cursed Li Heng for being too arrogant, practically courting death! Of course, while they cursed happily in their hearts, they dared not curse on the surface. After all, being this close, Li Heng could crush them to death at will.

One cannot lose one's own life just for cursing.

"Ma Zonghua, I ask you, what should we do now?"

"This matter was something you tacitly approved of in the first place."

A noble family Second Heaven said with an ugly expression.

Although their families all had Dharma Aspect Realm experts, these experts did not walk the mortal world and could not be easily moved. If they were to disturb them for such a matter, they would certainly be scolded severely.

At that time, they would also be suspected of having insufficient ability.

"Heh, go find your own mothers."

Ma Zonghua sneered and was the first to flick his sleeves and leave.

After Ma Zonghua, Ma Xingkong, and Ma Qiushui returned to the mansion.

"Grandfather, what should we do?"

Ma Qiushui asked first.

"What else can we do? If that brat wants to court death, let him be. To be so arrogant, wanting to challenge so many noble families? Are all of Ma Suxuan's friends this arrogant?"

"What kind of fox friends and dog companions has she made?"

"No wonder she hasn't come home once in so many years!"

"He is slapping so many noble families in the face; in any case, I will not intervene."

Ma Zonghua cursed bitterly.

"Qiushui, it seems this matter cannot be done. Take my token and go to the Heavenly Prison to bring back Ma Suxuan and that paramour of hers, so they don't continue to suffer grievances."

He took out a token and handed it to Ma Qiushui.

Ma Qiushui nodded, but her expression still held some doubts.

"Are we really going to leave him alone? After all, he is well-intentioned and wants to rescue Aunt; we can't really let him be beaten to death by the Dharma Aspect experts of other noble families, right?"

Ma Zonghua frowned upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and spoke.

"You don't need to worry about that; they are very shrewd."

"Using such a matter to disturb the Dharma Aspect experts of their families would surely result in a scolding. However, they will absolutely not swallow this insult; they will likely gather together and put pressure on the Prefecture Governor's Mansion."

"Why put pressure on the Prefecture Governor's Mansion?"

Ma Xingkong asked with some confusion.

"Hmph, that's why I say you brat are very naive. Jinhua City does have a Dharma Aspect, but that Dharma Aspect belongs to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion; it is the imperial court's Dharma Aspect. If they can force the Dharma Aspect to act, they won't have to be scolded, and they can still vent their anger. Understand?"

Ma Zonghua knocked on Ma Xingkong's head, feeling frustrated that he wouldn't live up to expectations.

"It's not just the noble families who find him unpleasant now."

"He took the Jinhua Bell and struck it so many times, shaking the whole city; the Prefecture Governor's Mansion will also find him unpleasant. The Prefecture Governor's Mansion and the imperial court are the masters of this city. A guest runs into the master's house and makes such a big commotion; what do you think will happen?"

"I know this. If the master of the house has a good temper, he will probably just invite him out or expel him. If the temper is bad, I'm afraid he will be beaten first and then thrown out."

Ma Xingkong answered quickly.

"Isn't that it? The temper at the Prefecture Governor's Mansion is not very good! However, if the imperial court side acts, there should still be some restraint, and they won't beat that brat to death on the spot."

"At most, they will cripple him."

Ma Xingkong was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Qiushui, go and return quickly, so that others won't say that I, Ma Zonghua, have an opinion of Ma Suxuan and deliberately mistreat her."

Ma Zonghua snorted, walked into the room, and intended to drink a cup of tea to calm his anger. What a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!......

Ma Xingkong watched Ma Qiushui leave in the courtyard, stunned for a moment, and a light flashed in his eyes. No, he must tell Aunt's friend about this; he is a good person!

Thinking this, he slipped out of the Ma Family mansion again.

But Ma Xingkong did not notice that in the room, Ma Zonghua stood outside the window, sipping Iron Goddess tea, his eyes without sorrow or joy, without ripples, and then he sighed softly, silently watching him leave.

Above the Bell Tower, the two watched the Second Heaven leave in resentment.

Kong Que spoke softly.

"Does Master just let them leave like this?"

Li Heng smiled upon hearing this.

"I have already locked onto their Qi. If they really want to run, I can catch up at any time. Besides, I said it, I gave them half a day; within half a day, they can do whatever they want."

This situation was exactly to his liking.

He had intended to wait for trouble to come to his door anyway.

As for the lives of these Second Heaven realm aristocrats, they held no value to him, unless they became Weird, which would allow him to earn some Source Power.

During this time, he could also properly study the person beside him who carried the Heaven and Earth Luck. Li Heng cast his gaze toward Qingfeng, a smile appearing in his eyes, which made this little Daoist tremble with fear.

Qingfeng was terrified in his heart; would Master sell me off?

"Come, let me take a look!"
