Chapter 340: Eliminating the Vermin (Part II)

This green-robed cultivator had a rat-like appearance and stepped forward carelessly. As soon as he said this, several Mount Qingchi Sect cultivators looked over. Li Li Xuanfeng frowned slightly and had to hold his bow and open the string.

This crowd of cultivators were mostly disciples of Tang Yuanwu Peak, and it wasn't just one or two days that they had been playing games with his group. Fei Fei Yihe and the other cultivators had always been submissive, and they looked at Li Li Xuanfeng with trepidation upon hearing this.

"Boom..."

Li Li Xuanfeng remained silent. He lifted the golden longbow in his hand, exhaled, and opened his voice. The golden light gathered, intertwined, and condensed into a golden-white arrow.

His eyes reflected the tattered figure. The longbow in his hand was full of sharp energy. The slave soldier paused in the air, as if he had sensed a warning, and turned his head to look.

Cultivators had amazing eyesight. The two looked at each other from a hundred feet away. Li Li Xuanfeng bumped into the pair of eyes full of resentment and longing, feeling a sense of familiarity. His heart moved, and his hand loosened.

The arrow shone brightly, crossing the sky like a meteor, heading straight for that person. It arrived in an instant, hitting the person's back. The slave soldier was like a bird with broken wings, falling crookedly.

"Good!"

The green-robed cultivator laughed, staring at the golden-white light arrow drawing a brilliant color across the sky, and said directly:

"This arrow is fast enough."

He had an evil appearance, rat-like, and had forcibly worn the elegant green robe with a lewd feeling. He laughed, clutching his stomach, causing everyone to look sideways.

The person with a higher status in front of him was handsome, with a high nose bridge, and looked at the man laughing loudly on the side with disgust, saying coldly:

"He's not dead!"

Fei Fei Yihe on the side had waited for a long time, hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly, and said respectfully:

"The Immortal doesn't know, but my brother's archery is special. Once hit by this arrow, there will be gang energy attached, and it will turn into blood within three quarters of an hour."

This leading Mount Qingchi disciple was tall, a full head taller than Fei Fei Yihe. His gaze stayed on Fei Fei Yihe's face for a breath, and he suddenly flicked his sleeve.

"Slap!"

This slap made Fei Fei Yihe take a step back. He covered his face and apologized repeatedly. This leading tall man then turned around suddenly, his face full of brutality, and kicked the squatting rat-like man.

"Bang."

This rat-like man had no defense and took this kick solidly. He was kicked a yard away by this fellow disciple and rolled in a sorry state on the ground.

"Senior Brother!"

This tall man's kick was sudden, scaring the crowd of Mount Qingchi disciples behind him. The crowd of noble cultivators also looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why these Immortal Sect disciples were having internal strife again, and one by one lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Senior Brother! You can't, Senior Brother!"

The crowd of Mount Qingchi disciples hurriedly came up to persuade him. The rat-like man was completely unaware, patted the footprints on his Daoist robe, and said happily:

"Senior Brother Ning's kick is quite precise, having the demeanor of the Old Ancestor throwing off his shoes at people back then."

This Senior Brother Ning stepped forward, his face ferocious. His figure was tall, forcibly shrouding this thin, rat-like man in his shadow. He picked up his lapels, pulled his head in front of him, and gritted his teeth:

"Deng Deng Yuzhi... you had better be truly dissolute and stubborn, and had better truly have had your sanity harmed by the cultivation technique. Just pretend for a lifetime and pretend until you die. The day I catch your handle, I will let you know the means of my Yuanxing Peak!"

As soon as his voice fell, he threw the rat-like man to the ground with a thud, shook the clothes on his body, stepped on the jade boots painted with gold silk, and said softly:

"Go!"

Senior Brother Ning looked to have a noble status. As soon as he said this, the crowd of Mount Qingchi disciples didn't dare to speak for Deng Deng Yuzhi, silently lowering their heads and following behind Senior Brother Ning, driving the wind to fall into the city.

Only Deng Deng Yuzhi remained, covered in dust, disheveled, and lying on the ground in a sorry state. The crowd of people could only pretend not to see and hurriedly responded to the enemy.

"Quite a temper."

Deng Deng Yuzhi got up unhurriedly, pinched a Dharma spell to pat off the dust on his body, muttered for a while, looked at Li Li Xuanfeng, who was holding his bow and thinking below, and cursed:

"Truly useless! The name is not equal to the reality, and he's not afraid of attracting trouble?!"

So he turned around like this and leaped toward the city, leaving the crowd of people looking at each other in dismay.

"These words... seem to point to something else."

Li Li Xuanfeng stared at Deng Deng Yuzhi's departing figure, thoughtful:

"I seem to have seen this person before. When he came to conscript our family, he had a long talk with the Old Ancestor... I fear the scene just now also involves many internal struggles of Mount Qingchi..."

He withdrew his gaze, his mind always reflecting the expression of the young man when he looked back. He touched the longbow in his hand and secretly thought:

"My arrow was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, just putting on a show. The enemy of the Mount Qingchi Sect is our friend. Leaving a favor is never wrong."

Li Li Xuanfeng was at the peak of Qi Refining. Speaking of which, his cultivation base was far superior to the crowd of wet-behind-the-ears Mount Qingchi disciples just now. Moreover, he had never seen anyone better than him in the art of string control, so naturally, he could deceive this group of Mount Qingchi disciples.

He carried the longbow on his back, looked at the slowly retreating beast tide, turned his head to look at Fei Fei Yihe, and asked:

"How is it?"

"Nothing!"

Fei Fei Yihe had taken a slap from him for no reason. The blood at the corner of his mouth had been secretly wiped away, and the red mark on his face was slowly disappearing. He only said warmly:

"Being meat on the chopping block, I just took this slap. It doesn't matter."

East East Shanyue.

The main hall of Mulu City was magnificent. The dim yellow lamp light rippled on the walls, reflecting pitch-black shadows, as if they were demons and ghosts, constantly jumping.

Tian Tian Zhongqing put away the wooden slips in his hand. The attendant below hurried up and said respectfully:

"Bring it up."

Tian Tian Zhongqing sighed, took the memorial handed up by the servant, and picked up his pen to draw a few circles on it.

Tian Tian Zhongqing was currently acting as the manager of East Shanyue affairs. The ocher-red pen tip constantly outlined. The East East Shanyue had originally used ocher-red for approval, which had only been changed in recent years.

After all, the main line of the Li family used ocher-red for approval, so the Clan Justice Court used a slightly darker ocher to show that it was under the main line. Brother Shamoli heard this news and hurriedly changed his own annotations to a darker ocher, which had been used ever since.

Tian Tian Zhongqing casually found an excuse to send them away, feeling a secret fear in his heart.

"It's not that I, Tian Tian Zhongqing, want to suppress everyone... it's the main family's intention... If we don't kill a batch of nobles, how can Li Li Jiman take the position?"

He sighed secretly in his heart, looking at the main hall in front of him. The decorations below were golden and moving. He had also acted as the king for more than half a year and was almost greedy for this high-ranking position.

The lamp light in the inner hall flickered, dimly shrouding the many jade and gold objects. This main hall was Mu Mu Jiaoman's palace back then, built to be magnificent. It was passed to the hands of Jimu, who reduced a lot of expenses.

Later, Li Li Feiruo launched a coup, and the Li family's carriage drove into the palace. Blood was smeared on the palace steps, and the nobles scrambled to slaughter the royal family to please the Li clan.

"The wheel of fortune turns... it's about to be splashed with the blood of these nobles..."

Tian Tian Zhongqing looked at the golden-red expanse in a daze, as if it were blood. He woke up in shock, put away those thoughts, but heard a clanging sound outside the hall, and a burly man walked in.

This man was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a burly figure. He held a golden melon hammer in one hand, looking like a big bandit who had run over from the road, and would throw the golden melon to smash him into meat mud in the next second.

Tian Tian Zhongqing hurriedly jumped up from the top seat, hurried down to greet him, and smiled:

"Brother Wen! Why did you arrive here? Could it be that the Family Head has come in person?"

"Uncle Tian misunderstood."

Li Wen looked fierce, but his temperament was gentle. He replied in a muffled voice:

"The family has already mobilized the Mount Yuting Guards, and they are guarding every place in the city. The Family Head said that we can close the net, so he let me come to suppress the formation."

"Good, good, good!"

Tian Tian Zhongqing laughed and said ingratiatingly:

"Brother Wen, does the Family Head have any instructions?"

Li Wen nodded and replied:

"The Family Head has promised that if this matter is finished, the Tian clan descendants can return to the Twelve Towns."

"Great! Great!"

Tian Tian Zhongqing was overjoyed. Since his Tian clan was driven to East Shanyue to balance the situation, they were increasingly looked down upon by the Easterners, who thought they were in league with East Shanyue. In this wave where everyone worshipped the East, it was quite uncomfortable.

Tian clan descendants were highly respected in East Shanyue, but were a cut below in Mount Lijing Town. Although his family had two Qi Refining cultivators, they had no main line to rely on, and were secretly despised by many.

His eldest son had only gone to Mount Lijing Town once, didn't know the drinking games in the town, and was laughed at. He returned and was depressed for a full three months, making Tian Tian Zhongqing sigh.

Now that he had obtained Li Brother Yuanping's promise, he was overjoyed, and even the depression of being a knife for the Li family to offend Li Li Jiman and the nobles dissipated. He said coldly in his heart:

"I was worried about how to gain a foothold in East Shanyue in the future, so let's kill! Kill until heads roll, and I'll walk away. Who cares about you local snakes?"

He immediately gave the order, and the soldiers and armor in the palace moved, clanging and clanking. The palace gates opened wide, and carriages drove out of the palace, riding on the newly built road.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Thunder exploded between the streets and alleys. The people of East Shanyue woke up from their dreams, raised their heads, and were at a loss.

————

At another corner of Mulu Town, cups and dishes were intertwined, and the singing was seductive. Li Li Jiman sat at the top with a stinking face, watching the nobles below singing loudly, his heart depressed.

"After all, they are barbarians... what kind of stuff is this."

He didn't see drinking games or poetry, and Li Li Jiman's belly full of tricks were all in vain. He only drank after singing, making him very uncomfortable.

Just as he was thinking, a drunk person from a clan came forward and smiled, drunk:

Li Li Jiman's expression changed suddenly. He was already familiar with the main line and often took pride in it. He had also been let go by Li Brother Yuanping once, and his gratitude and respect were beyond words. How could he listen to this?

Moreover, the experience of being used by the Tian family when he thought no one knew was still fresh in his memory. Li Li Jiman was suddenly terrified and furious.

"Bah!"

Li Li Jiman threw the wine cup in his hand at the person's face, instantly smashing him into a face full of fresh red. He rolled down with a thud. Li Li Jiman cursed:

"You have the guts!"

The hall suddenly became quiet. Li Li Jiman hurriedly stood up, as if explaining to someone, and cursed:

"That is a tiger walking like it's sick, an eagle standing like it's sleeping. How can you despicable people get one ten-thousandth of it?"

As soon as his voice fell, a group of people knelt down, and the seductive music stopped. The courtyard was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard. Li Li Jiman listened, and his heart skipped a beat:

"Why is there the sound of weapons colliding?!"

As soon as he said this, the crowd below was still looking at each other in dismay, but heard a scream.

"Clatter!"

A group of soldiers in white armor broke in, holding knives and soldiers, looking solemn, and filed in on their own. Suddenly, several clans jumped up and cursed:

"Who are you, and what is this place? How dare you be presumptuous here!"

This group of white-armored soldiers ignored them. Several clans with cultivation bases still wanted to resist, but were pressed down by the leader in two moves. Watching this group of clans being controlled, Li Li Jiman looked on in a daze, unable to believe it:

"Mount Yuting Guards?"

Only muffled groans and pleas for mercy remained in the hall. Li Li Jiman only had time to ask two questions before the group had been pressed out like a whirlwind. He walked down in a daze, suddenly becoming a bare commander.

Fortunately, the leading Mount Yuting Guard in the middle was still polite, bowed slightly, and said:

"Young Master, I have offended you."

"This is..."

Li Li Jiman was suddenly emptied of his family background, as if he had been robbed clean while walking on the street. He couldn't react for a while, and it took several breaths before he spat out two words.

The person in front of him bowed slowly, his eyes bright, and he waved his hand behind him. The group of Mount Yuting Guards all retreated, leaving only the two of them, and then said:

"Back to Young Master, the Tian family handed over a full cart of evidence to the Clan Justice Court. All the clans in East Shanyue are among them. I am ordered to take them."

"Tian family?!"

Li Li Jiman woke up suddenly. Only then did he understand why the main family had suddenly become so ruthless. His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth:

"It seems the Tian family has been planning for a long time. I don't know how many years they have planned. They want to kill all my troops so that I can be a puppet to stamp seals!"

"But now the Tian clan dominates East Shanyue, without the restraint of the nobles... I fear there will be a great disaster! Family Head... you can't, Family Head!"

He lifted his robe and walked hurriedly forward. The Mount Yuting Guard listened to his words and seemed to hesitate, saying in a low voice:

"This matter is done thoroughly. Brother, why don't you go and beg the Family Head... I heard he has the intention to recall the Tian family, but the Tian family has always refused, slandering him in many ways, which is why they are stranded in East Shanyue."

"Ah! Many thanks, brother!"

Li Li Jiman heard this news for the first time, and his heart was overjoyed. His face was flushed, and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He gritted his teeth:

"Right, as long as the Tian family withdraws from East Shanyue and returns to the town, everything will be solved! No matter what, I must persuade the Family Head... let the Tian family withdraw from East Shanyue and return to those Twelve Towns!"

He had studied the art of governing the country for more than ten years at home. How could he be willing to be a puppet? Now that he had made up his mind, he hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed out of the hall.

This Mount Yuting Guard looked quite moved. Seeing his anxious appearance, he hesitated and couldn't help reminding:

"Brother! I heard that the Family Head has been worried about the output of spiritual objects in East Shanyue for many years, and ordered me to check it several times. If Young Master has the heart, you can start from here!"

Li Li Jiman's eyes lit up. This news came like timely rain, making him quite happy. He nodded while rushing out of the hall, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said:

This Mount Yuting Guard laughed and replied:

"Chen Chen Mufeng."

Li Li Jiman chewed on the name and secretly remembered it in his heart. He didn't have time to say more, only said thank you, and rushed out hurriedly.
