Chapter 566: Chapter 492: Great Kindness and Great Virtue
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the golden pouch rapidly tightened, clinging closely to the Li Generation expert’s head, from which pitiful screams were emitted.
The next second, with a twist of Daoist Qingfeng’s wrist, the golden pouch slowly began to rotate, accompanied by a "crack, crack, crack" sound. In just a few blinks, it twisted the neck of the Li Generation expert. But it didn’t end there—the pouch spun faster and eventually twisted the head right off. The headless torso still maintained its arms raised high, and blood spurting from the neckless cavity shot up more than ten meters.
With the loss of spiritual power injection, the Magic Artifact ladder returned to being an ownerless object, and the crippled in mid-air plummeted down, smashing the headless body into a pulp.
Both Li Generation Angel Envoys, yet their methods were as different as clouds and mud, managing to determine the winner in just a few breaths.
Daoist Qingfeng harrumphed coldly, then lifted his sleeve. After the golden pouch "spat" out the head, it flew back into his robe.
"In the hotel, you call me Qingfeng and I don’t mind, but once you step out of the hotel’s door, what should you call this Daoist?" Daoist Qingfeng disdainfully glanced at the wide-eyed head on the ground, waved his sleeve, turned around to look at the White-clothed Scholar and others, and said in a pinched voice, "This Daoist despises those who do not understand the rules most."
This was outright provocation, slaughtering his subordinate in front of the White-clothed Scholar like slaughtering a chicken. It was a slap in the face. Yet, the White-clothed Scholar showed no reaction. Yang Xiao had experienced the means of the White-clothed Scholar; if he wanted to save someone, Daoist Qingfeng would have found it not so easy to kill the Li Generation Angel Envoy.
Now, Yang Xiao came to understand that in Xiang Ma Town, the strong were respected, and Peace Hotel was undoubtedly the biggest fist there.
"Let’s end the matter here today; both sides, disperse." Daoist Qingfeng walked leisurely outside. When passing the mutilated corpse of the Li Generation expert, he even kicked the bloody, flesh-covered ladder three times with the tip of his foot.
Yang Xiao, of course, could not stray from the Daoist’s aid, and thus he immediately hastened to catch up. In the unwilling gazes of the White-clothed Scholar and others, he took off.
However, as he passed the corpse of the Li Generation expert, Yang Xiao performed a despicable act. He knelt down, "hooked" the ladder out of the blood and flesh, hastily wiped it on his clothes, and carried the ladder as he ran after Daoist Qingfeng.
This scene turned the eyes of the White-clothed Scholar and the others red with rage, yet they were powerless to act. Indeed, attacking a clear and defined Daoist like Qingfeng was too large a mess for them to handle, which Peace Hotel would not tolerate.
Seeing no one pursuing him, Yang Xiao turned into an alley and quickly caught up with Daoist Qingfeng. "Daoist, Daoist, please wait!"
Hearing this, Daoist Qingfeng seemed touched, slowly turning around, arms crossed in front of his chest, and drawled, "Is there something else?"
"Daoist’s great kindness and virtue, I’ll never forget it!" Yang Xiao deeply bowed to Daoist Qingfeng, then used his clothes to wipe the ladder Magic Artifact and respectfully offered it, "This object is immensely evil, leaving it in the hands of those Demons would definitely bring endless calamity. Please, Daoist, think of the common people and take it to dispose of!"
"Since that’s the case, this Daoist will reluctantly accept it." With their previous cooperation, there was no need for much persuasion this time. As Daoist Qingfeng extended his hand, Yang Xiao respectfully placed the ladder on Daoist Qingfeng’s arm.
"Daoist, wait a moment, I have another Evil Object here that I need to trouble the Daoist with." Yang Xiao took out the neatly folded protective clothes, the one stripped from City God Master, and without waiting for Daoist Qingfeng to speak, he respectfully shoved it into the Daoist’s sleeve.
Seeing this, Daoist Qingfeng cleared his throat and intentionally raised his pitch. "What are you doing? This cannot be, absolutely cannot be."
Although he said that, he had no intention of returning it to Yang Xiao, instead he gripped the sleeve of his robe tightly, showing a very solemn attitude.
"I implore the Taoist to prioritize the welfare of the people of the world!" Yang Xiao spoke earnestly, praising Daoist Qingfeng as an incarnation of earthly justice.
After the formalities were completed, Daoist Qingfeng’s tone also softened. He found this young man quite agreeable and using their Taoist terms, said this child had a connection with the immortals, "Recently, you have caused too much trouble. Hurry up and leave, and do not come back for a while."
"I shall heed the Taoist’s decree!" Yang Xiao knew this was for his own good. He had destroyed a stronghold of the Resentment Sect and stolen a Ghost-Level treasure, which the Resentment Sect would certainly not tolerate and would definitely seek revenge.
After sending off the Taoist, Yang Xiao immediately used the Soul-Capturing Mirror and returned to the Nie Family Teahouse, taking a breath of relief, only then realizing how serious his injuries were. Not only was one of his arms broken, but his leg, abdomen, and shoulder were all injured.
The stab wound in his abdomen was the most severe; every slight movement caused streams of fresh blood to flow from the wound.
The wound was difficult to stop bleeding; it was a strange three-petal shape, like the kind inflicted by an old-fashioned triangular military spike.
Since his identity needed to be kept secret, he could not let others know he was seriously injured; otherwise, it would be easy for someone to trace back to his identity.
Not to mention Guardian Yun or Guardian Snake,
"Daoist, your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!" Yang Xiao bowed deeply to Daoist Qingfeng, then wiped the Ladder Magic Artifact with his clothes and respectfully offered it up, "This object is immensely evil and would cause endless disaster if left in the hands of demons. I implore the Taoist to consider the welfare of the world and accept it for disposal!"
"Since that’s the case, this Taoist will reluctantly accept it." With their previous cooperation, there wasn’t much wrangling this time. As Daoist Qingfeng extended his hand, Yang Xiao respectfully placed the Ladder Magic Artifact on Daoist Qingfeng’s arm.
"Please wait, Taoist, I have another Evil Object here and would trouble the Taoist again." Yang Xiao pulled out a folded piece of protective clothing from his bosom, snatched from the City God Master, and without waiting for Daoist Qingfeng to speak, he respectfully stuffed it into the Taoist’s sleeve.
Seeing this, the Taoist cleared his throat, deliberately raising his pitch, "What is the meaning of this? No, absolutely not."
Although he said that, he had no intention of returning it to Yang Xiao, instead he gripped the sleeve of his robe tightly, showing a very solemn attitude.
"I implore the Taoist to prioritize the welfare of the people of the world!" Yang Xiao spoke earnestly, praising Daoist Qingfeng as an incarnation of earthly justice.
