Chapter 335: The
After resolving the Strange Buying Life Money and taking the opportunity to return to Jinhua City to visit Meng Lingyun and the others, and utilizing the Five-Colored Divine Light to guide Little Peacock through her second bloodline transformation.
Li Heng then accompanied Tian Yao to this Center Land of the Present World.
As for the ancient sages.
Because the Hundred Saints Academy is located in the center of the Zhuzhu Dynasty, which can also be considered the Center Land of the Present World, they temporarily returned to the Hundred Saints Academy first, intending to resolve some matters.
Since the distance is relatively close, they can also be summoned at any time.
"How did you guess it?"
Tian Yao asked with some reluctance; judging from the expression on her face, this Shennü of Heaven was becoming increasingly anthropomorphized and rich in the emotions of a living being.
"Does this even need guessing?"
Li Heng asked in surprise.
Tian Yao's expression suddenly became bewildered; it doesn't need it?
"It seems that as a living being, you still need to learn more."
"They are discussing matters concerning the Ye Family so blatantly on the top floor of a restaurant like this, without any regard for others; they must have an ulterior motive, like fishing, for example."
Li Heng shook his head and smiled, speaking in an earnest and well-meaning tone.
Was he supposed to tell her that he had cheated and could sense the disgusting bloodline aura of the Ye Family? That wouldn't do; if he said that, how could he continue to train her later?
Tian Yao listened, stunned, and nodded thoughtfully.
"And who might you be, Your Excellency?"
Such arrogant conversation between the two naturally attracted the attention of those Ye Family members. The leader of the Ye Family looked at Li Heng with an unkind expression and said coldly.
Li Heng frowned upon hearing this.
"It seems you Ye Family members aren't very smart either."
"Did your elders never tell you not to meddle in other people's business, and not to show inexplicable hostility toward people of unknown origin and unfathomable depth?"
He shook his head in disappointment; this Ye Family was not prudent.
"Haha, Your Excellency is joking. The Longevity Families of the Center Land are of one mind; there is no need to be careful to such an extent."
That Ye Family member cupped his hands and replied with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
However, seemingly mindful of what Li Heng had said, he actually held back, turned his head to look at the man and woman from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion, and seemed not to want to pay attention to Li Heng anymore.
The surrounding guests were greatly shocked to see this.
A few words were enough to make a Longevity Family back down? It seems this person either has a heaven-shaking background or possesses astonishing rhetoric; not simple, truly not simple. It seems the Center Land is truly becoming turbulent.
"Your Excellency, please save me; I have secrets about the Ye Family."
The man from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion finally came back to his senses.
He said in a panic.
Investigating the Ye Family and provoking the Ye Family are two different things.
Since he had now said in front of the Ye Family members that he was investigating the Ye Family, he had certainly already provoked them. The Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion could no longer protect him, and might even suffer the same devastating Disaster.
He must save himself!
And Li Heng had made the family wary with just a few words.
Perhaps he could save his life!
"Audacious!"
Those few Ye Family members were furious.
Originally, they only wanted to force this person from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion to reveal what information he knew, but now, he actually wanted to spread information regarding the Ye Family; he was simply courting death.
"Oh, you know?"
Li Heng smiled slightly.
"Your Excellency, please do not meddle in other people's business."
Hearing Li Heng's words, the Ye Family member turned his head, his expression as gloomy as water, his Dharma faintly manifesting behind him, emitting a Terror-filled aura as he warned.
Li Heng ignored him and continued to speak.
"Can you afford the price?"
The man from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion was stunned upon hearing this.
But at this moment, the other Ye Family members had already attacked him, seemingly wanting to kill him on the spot. Facing a crisis of Life and Death, he could not care about so much anymore and hurriedly shouted, "I can afford it!"
The next moment.
These Ye Family members had their heads severed and their souls extinguished.
The whole room fell silent!
After a long while, the man from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion finally came to his senses, looking at everything before him with trembling hands, pointing a shaking finger at Li Heng. "You... you you... you killed people from a family, it's over, it's over!"
Completely panicked, he grabbed his hair wildly with both hands.
He had thought Li Heng would intervene to help him block the attacks of these family members or drive them away; he had never expected him to kill this group of family members.
Is this person a madman? Is he not afraid of the family's retaliation!
In the Center Land, with so many Longevity Families gathered, it could be said to be the territory of the families; even major forces like the Dao Sect and the Buddhist Sect would not want to provoke them.
This person actually dared to kill family members on family territory?
"I told you, you have to be able to afford the price."
Li Heng said calmly.
"Bullshit, what kind of price is this? You just want me to die!"
The man from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion roared, not even caring about the woman beside him, and hurriedly fled. He had to escape before the family reacted, as far away as possible!
Li Heng watched the man's retreating figure with a calm expression.
Tian Yao, leaning on Li Heng's shoulder, was not without curiosity.
"Are you not going to stop him?"
Li Heng smiled lightly.
"You saw it yourself, yet you still ask me?"
Tian Yao nodded; she had indeed seen the future of that man's death, the kind that could not be avoided. If he had chosen to stay by Li Heng's side, there would have been a glimmer of hope, but it was a pity he was a foolish person.
"Then what exactly does he know?"
Tian Yao looked at Li Heng with curiosity again.
"Some interesting clues."
For an expert of Li Heng's realm, to know a matter, one does not necessarily need to make someone speak; with a mere thought, one can access the memories of those weaker than oneself.
Therefore, even though that man had already fled.
He still knew all of that man's memories just the same.
Li Heng looked at the woman who was still in her original place.
"Your senior brother has already run away; are you not going to run?"
The woman was stunned upon hearing this, then suddenly realized.
"Oh, that's right, I should run."
Li Heng was somewhat speechless at the sight.
It turns out her reaction was a beat slow.
"But I feel like I cannot run."
The woman added another sentence.
"Why?" Li Heng asked curiously.
"Because after such a thing has happened, even if I escape the Center Land, I will be hunted down by the noble families across the heavens and earth. If there is no expert to protect me, I will die regardless of what I do."
The woman looked at Li Heng with resentment.
"This has nothing to do with me."
"If it weren't for me taking action, you and that senior brother of yours would have already died here. In the current situation, at least you can live a little longer."
Li Heng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately became dejected and slumped over the table.
"Ah? Then what should I do? It's death either way."
She muttered to herself, feeling somewhat desperate.
"I am very curious, why do you not beg me?"
Li Heng said.
"Although I am slow-witted, I am not stupid. This Disaster was caused by my senior brother's big mouth, not because of you. You killing the people of the noble families can actually be considered saving our lives."
"With such a kindness, what face do I have to beg you further?"
The woman said calmly.
Li Heng smiled upon hearing this.
"What a clever girl, using retreat as a means of advance. Forget it, forget it; since you are pleasing to the eye, just take this Token. If I have need of you later, perhaps I will come looking for you."
Throwing down a Bronze Token, Li Heng and Tian Yao's figures vanished, leaving behind only the other panicked guests and the woman holding the Token in her hand.
In the Void, Tian Yao asked curiously.
"What should we do next? We can mobilize the Heaven and Earth Principles of this place to make the rules reject those noble families. If we work a little harder, we can bring down a Heavenly Punishment to strike that group of noble families to death!"
This Shennü of Heaven spoke, becoming increasingly excited.
"Are you not very curious about what I found out?"
"We are going to find a 'Heavenly Mandate Protagonist' who is being hunted by the noble families."
Li Heng answered with a smile.
