558 Exiled to the Abandoned Will Cliff
Very soon, the members of the Li family arrived. Each and every one of them was dejected. It was obvious that the Li family’s unforeseen tragedy had dealt a heavy blow to them.
Jiang Ming glanced at the Li family’s elders and could not help but narrow his eyes.
“Tell me the truth. What do you want?”
These elders were all stunned and looked at Jiang Ming in confusion.
“Master, what do you mean? We couldn’t predict this sudden tragedy. We just didn’t react in time…”
“Don’t talk nonsense with me! Also, tell me honestly where your old master is!” Jiang Ming shouted coldly, shocking everyone into silence.
Li Feng widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief. He quickly said, “Master, you also know that the head of the Li family was killed by Li Changjin.”
He did not understand why Jiang Ming would bring up the past and make a big fuss about it.
“Since I’ve raised this question, it means that there are quite a few things out of place… Of course, it’s normal for you brats to not know. All of this was the doing of the Li family’s higher-ups. They wanted to split their forces into two. Li Changjin was merely a pawn who was manipulated by the higher-ups.”
Jiang Ming spoke slowly. His words made the Li family’s higher-ups’ expressions change drastically, but they were stubborn and did not confess to their crimes. Instead, they tried to lick Jiang Ming’s boots.
“Master, I’m innocent! We truly admire the Flowerfruit Sect and absolutely have no traitorous thoughts toward them. I hope that you will not listen to the slanderous words of others and misunderstand us!”
“That’s right, Master. Our family has a very good relationship with Master Wu Ming. Why don’t we let Master Wu Ming vouch for us?”
Someone looked at Wu Ming as if begging him to vouch for them.
Wu Ming looked at Jiang Ming hesitantly and said in a low voice, “Master, is there some misunderstanding? I’ve known the people of the Li family for many years, especially the head of the Li family. I have a deep relationship with him, so I know that he is a good person. He wouldn’t have done such a thing.”
At this moment, Rao Wuqing walked over and said with a serious expression, “What kind of person is our master? His wisdom far surpasses ours. What he says must be true.”
Wu Ming pursed his lips, wanting to say something. However, no words would come out.
He knew that Jiang Ming was extraordinary. He was definitely a person with great wisdom. Since Jiang Ming had said that there was a problem with the Li family, then there was a high chance that there truly was a serious problem with the Li family.
“Master Wu Ming! You’re our family head’s best friend. You can’t abandon us!”
“Yeah, we’re all innocent. You’d better put in a good word for us. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“That’s right. Master Wu Ming, you must not falsely accuse the innocent. If you kill them unjustly, it will be a huge stain on the Flowerfruit Sect’s reputation. You will never find peace again!”
They wanted to exploit Wu Ming’s weakness and beg for mercy. However, Jiang Ming snorted coldly and said ruthlessly, “Shut up! If anyone dares make a fuss again, there will be consequences!”
Jiang Ming was very domineering at the moment. His words caused the entire place to fall silent. Many experts of the Flowerfruit Sect took a step forward.
“Now, tell me the true location of your family head. Otherwise, I don’t mind pulling you out one by one and interrogating you strictly!”
When Jiang Ming said this, the person opposite him immediately knelt on the ground stiffly.
Li Feng could not help but size up these elders of the family. A conflicted look rose in his eyes. He was not an idiot, so he could naturally see that these people were not loyal.
“To be honest, I don’t care about them betraying the Flowerfruit Sect at all… But why did they sacrifice my sister and so many family members for nothing?”
Li Feng’s younger sister and many of the family members who had been sacrificed had always thought that they had sacrificed themselves for the honor of the family. However, now it all seemed to be in vain. From the beginning to the end, the higher-ups of the Li family had ulterior motives. His younger sister and many of the family members had sacrificed themselves in vain…!
“You bunch of bastards!”
If not for his lack of strength, Li Feng would have killed all of them.
Jiang Ming glanced at Li Feng and raised his hand to knock him out.
“Take him away and let him join the Flowerfruit Sect as a core disciple,” Jiang Ming said calmly. This Li Feng was able to cultivate to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm with the resources of the Li family at such a young age. Although he could not compare to some top prodigies, his aptitude was still very rare. He could not be compared to Gu Chi and the others, but he could still be nurtured as a core disciple. Perhaps one day, he could become a true disciple of the Flowerfruit Sect.
After receiving this order, Li Feng was quickly taken away.
Jiang Ming issued another order. “Those of the Li family who don’t know about this can leave. Of course, don’t even think about fishing in troubled waters. I have already obtained enough evidence. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you will end up terribly.”
His words were ruthless and concise.
As a result, many people who had such thoughts dispelled them immediately.
Jiang Ming’s gaze also lingered around the scene and soon fell on a group of people not far away.
“Especially you, the patriarchs of the Li family. You sacrificed so many innocent people for your own benefit and even made their sacrifice a joke. As patriarchs, don’t you feel any guilt or shame?”
Many of the Li family’s patriarchs were silent. After a long while, they slowly said, “We are willing to repent.”
“Good! Then from today onward, you can go to the Abandoned Will Cliff to repent!”
Jiang Ming waved his hand. As soon as his words left his mouth, the expressions of the patriarchs changed drastically. The Abandoned Will Cliff was an extremely dangerous place!
It was essentially a death sentence!
A patriarch of the Li family began to think. He wanted to understand this matter, but he soon exhaled slowly.
“We are willing to go to the Abandoned Will Cliff and repent.”
They understood that if they did not go there, they might end up dead. Following Jiang Ming’s orders gave them a chance to survive.
After the group left, a strange look flashed across Jiang Ming’s eyes.
He had actually been giving them a chance to reveal the location of the Li family’s head. Who would have known that these people would rather go to the Abandoned Will Cliff than reveal it?
