Chapter 478 Stirring up Emotions
The Big Master pretended to be relaxed. After Qi Potian and Li Jian came to him, he asked calmly, “How’s it going?”
Although he tried his best to pretend calm, he couldn’t wait any longer actually. Before Qi Potian and Li Jian spoke, he took the initiative to ask.
All the cultivators looked over and waited for Qi Potian and Li Jian’s report. After all, it was about the whole team. But they were also a little confused. They didn’t know why Li Ye and Di Luo didn’t come back. “Is there anything wrong?”
Qi Potian winked at Li Jian. Then Li Jian replied in a wooden tone, “Big Master, we were attacked by a group of fierce beasts 50 kilometers away. Li Congjing died in the battle! Di Luo asked us to come back first to report the situation. He is chasing the fierce beasts to avenge Li Congjing!”
Then, he winked at the Big Master.
The Big Master thought that he understood Li Jian’s wink. He nodded happily. He thought, “Di Luo is capable, and he found a good excuse to kill Li Congjing. Especially, chasing the fierce beasts is the best line. In this way, the rest of the cultivators won’t say anything about it.”
Hearing this, all the cultivators were shocked. “What? Hero Li is dead?”
“How, how could this be?”
“How would such a good man die like this?”
When the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage heard the news, they were in an uproar. In an instant, there was a burst of wailing and sobbing, mixing with all kinds of cries of grief. It was very lively.
“Hero Li is a hero. I didn’t expect that he would be killed by the fierce beasts!” The bearded cultivator looked up at the sky and cried out in pain, and his eyes were red. “Dying before achieving triumph makes a hero cry...”
“He is so young, so charming, and so different. Why did he die so early?” A female cultivator cried.
“God is jealous of talents. It’s unfair! I’d rather be the one who died!”
There was an air of sadness and anger at the campsite. Like dark clouds on their hearts, all the cultivators lost their breath. Even the cultivators, who weren’t touched deeply, couldn’t help but feel sad under the circumstances.
“My hero is dead? I don’t believe it!” Miss Hong Xiu bit her lip and looked at the innkeeper and Wu You. “I don’t believe it. I’m going to find him. Do you want to go with me?”
The innkeeper kept sighing and pretended to cry. She began to wipe away the non-existent tears on her cheeks with her sleeves. Hearing Hong Xiu’s words, she decisively shook her head.
Duchess was rubbing the corners of her eyes with her head lowered. Her skinny shoulders trembled from time to time. She looked very sad. She wiped her eyes so hard that they turned red, but she didn’t shed a tear. She also shook her head at Hong Xiu’s question.
Miss Hong Xiu stood stunned. “Is everyone’s reaction real? Even though Li Ye is dead, you can’t squeeze out a tear.” At that moment, Hong Xiu almost suspected that the other cultivators present were acting.
Hong Xiu felt sad in her heart, and she didn’t see the innkeeper’s strange look. She turned around and was about to leave.
The innkeeper hurriedly grabbed her. No matter how hard she struggled, the innkeeper didn’t let her go. At last, the innkeeper saw Hong Xiu crying sadly and looking pitiful, and even her voice was hoarse. She felt very strange and had to say, “He’s not dead. You stop that now!”
Hong Xiu was confused.
The innkeeper said, “What are you doing there? Sit down and wipe your tears!”
Hong Xiu was speechless.
When the Big Master looked at the innkeeper in the crowd, his silent smile spread on his face, making the corners of his mouth curl to his ears. He didn’t dare to force Miss Hong Xiu because he couldn’t bear the consequence. But for the innkeeper, he had no scruples.
Of course, the Big Master didn’t take action immediately. He had to wait for the cultivators to stop crying, or it would be too disgraceful. Then he had been waiting for four hours, and the cultivators were still crying.
What was worse, a group of female cultivators went to pile up a grave for Li Ye on the ridge. Then they cried more vigorously in front of the grave, as if they had seen Li Ye’s body.
The Big Master wanted to doubt his life. “Do they have such deep feelings?”
Finally, when they stopped crying, the Big Master couldn’t sit still anymore. He went straight to the innkeeper and looked at her unscrupulously with a condescending look, like looking at prey. He had a faint smile.
Then he said in a tone of charity, “Li Congjing was a member of the Killing Hands before death, so it’s my duty to look after his women. Don’t be too sad. If you follow me from now on, I won’t treat you shabbily!”
Although he said that, his eyes were fixed only on the innkeeper. She looked up at him pitifully and showed a sad and grateful smile. She was weak and beautiful. The Big Master looked greedy and couldn’t help saying, “Demon fox, you come with me. I have something to say to you!”
Then he turned around and left. He intended to take her to the other side of the mountain to achieve his wish in the place where the cultivators couldn’t see them.
However, when he flew up to the sky, he found that the innkeeper, who was very grateful to him just now, didn’t follow, which made him a little unhappy. He felt embarrassed and said, “Demon fox, why don’t you move?”
The demon fox stood up in front of everyone, and her face was full of awe-inspiring righteousness. As the Big Master watched in doubt, she suddenly cried sadly. She began to cry at the top of her voice. “I’m not going to the woods with you! You crazy old man! My childe’s remains are scarcely cold yet, but you want to hog me. I won’t do that! Come and see, everyone. This old bastard, he...”
The innkeeper’s exaggerated cry immediately attracted the attention of almost all the cultivators. They all looked over. After hearing the innkeeper’s words, they looked at the Big Master on alert.
The Big Master’s face darkened. He knew that he couldn’t let the innkeeper go on crying, so he immediately snorted and swung his long sleeve. The mighty power of his cultivation swept toward the innkeeper and suppressed her, like a flood. “Shut up! I’m not that kind of person...”
The innkeeper stood unstably and sat down on the ground. The pressure of the Real Immortal Realm made her teeth tremble, but she still tried her best to cry. “Why did you ask me to go to the woods? Everyone heard it! My God! My childe’s blood is not cold yet, but this old man wants to hog me. There is no justice!”
While saying this, she secretly bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood sadly. She fell to the ground, looking very miserable.
All the cultivators immediately looked at the Big Master with murderous eyes.
The bearded cultivator immediately got up and rebuked the Big Master loudly, “You bastard! How dare you be so rude to the hero’s woman! Under the eyes of the public, you failed to force a good woman and then you hurt her. You really think that we don’t exist, so you can do whatever you want...”
His words were righteous, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly vomited blood and flew backward.
The Big Master fought him fiercely.
He looked down majestically on all the cultivators. At the same time, the pressure of his cultivation released without reservation, shrouding the whole place. He sneered. “Shut up! I’m like this. What can you do to me? Anyone who is not convinced, come forward. I want to see who has two lives to be killed by me twice.”
When the affair came to light, the Big Master no longer hid it. Instead, he used his cultivation power to forcefully sweep everything away.
All the cultivators stood stunned there. Under the pressure of the Real Immortal Realm, they couldn’t move at all.
They were all moved by Li Ye’s rescue last night, but at the same time, there was a deviation in their perception. They inevitably thought that the Great Cultivators present were all reasonable. However, in the Cultivation World, strength was the truth. Relying on their high cultivation, the Great Cultivators were always overbearing.
Zhao Junyi helped up the bearded cultivator, who was seriously injured. He wanted to protest, but he couldn’t make a sound.
He looked at the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm.
Among the cultivators present, only a few cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm could restrain the Big Master.
But before the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm spoke, the Big Master said coldly, “I’m the Big Master of the Killing Hands, so I have the right to deal with the member of the Killing Hands! There is no reason for any cultivator to intervene, or he is despising my dignity and wants to fight me to death!”
Several cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm wanted to speak for the innkeeper because of Li Ye’s righteous action yesterday, but now they all chose to remain silent after hearing the Big Master’s words.Updates by vi p novel
In fact, everyone knew that Li Ye was not a member of the Killing Hands and that he was just going with them. But since the Big Master’s attitude was tough, they didn’t have to have a feud with the Big Master for a dead cultivator.
If Li Ye were still here, they would not mind holding justice when facing the Big Master’s sophistry. But now that Li Ye was dead, it was not difficult to weigh the pros and cons. It wasn’t wise to have a feud with a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm.
Therefore, although the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm were unhappy, they didn’t make a move. They just snorted and no longer paid attention to what was happening here.
Seeing their reaction, the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage felt desperate. The cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm and in the Immortal Realm couldn’t challenge the Big Master. After all, he was the Big Master of the Killing Hands and he had many lackeys.
With this in mind, all the cultivators stared at the other members of the Killing Hands unkindly and disgustedly, especially, the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage. Their eyes turned red, and they gnashed their teeth, eager to eat their flesh and peel off their skin.
They were furious and needed someone to vent their anger. They didn’t dare to express their anger to the Big Master, so they could only turn to the other members of the Killing Hands. Of course, they couldn’t do anything right now, but no one could guarantee that some hot-blooded cultivators wouldn’t do anything bad behind them in the next battle.
As the members of the Killing Hands felt the cultivators’ strong hostility, their expression changed, and they could only swallow their bitterness. Of course, they knew the cultivators’ thoughts. In an instant, everyone felt in danger and had a great grudge against the Big Master.
“We’re the members of the Killing Hands, and we’re very flustered now. All the cultivators want to deal with us. What should we do?”
Li Jian felt his scalp getting numb, while Qi Potian was secretly pleased. He thought, “Fortunately, I’ve already turned to Brother Li, so I’m not flustered at all. I want to whistle to express my happiness.”
As a result, Qi Potian was more determined to follow Li Ye. “The treatment is very different. When I followed Brother Li, he was worshipped and we were also praised. Now I’m with the Big Master. Hehe, do you know how many ways to write the word ‘death’?”
Accepting everyone’s expression in his eyes, the Big Master sneered, full of contempt and overlooks. “A bunch of ants!”
While speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the innkeeper brazenly.
The Big Master was arrogant, and he had the cultivation of Real Immortal Realm, so he wouldn’t take the cultivators seriously.
But now, he knew that he made everyone angry. The members of the Killing Hands were going to have a hard time. But so what? Did he have to retreat now? If so, he was slapping himself on the face. How could he keep his dignity?
If he really did that, all the cultivators would look down on him and think that he was a joke. And the members of the Killing Hands would be not loyal to him. After all, compared with a weak leader, although an arrogant leader would provoke anger, in most cases, he would make people fear.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the cultivators wouldn’t be as hot-blooded as the cultivators in front of him.
In the final analysis, it was rare that the cultivators in front of him shared the same hatred against the enemy.
Now the Big Master was in a dilemma. He underestimated Li Ye’s influence. He didn’t expect that this group of cultivators would support Li Ye so much.
Second, he didn’t expect that the innkeeper would ignore the current situation. After Li Ye’s death, she didn’t take the initiative to throw herself on him when he, a master in the Real Immortal Realm, showed kindness to her. Moreover, she was so righteous that she aroused all the cultivators’ emotions.
She was courting death.
The Big Master made up his mind that he would teach the innkeeper a lesson later.
“You bastard! Even if I die, I won’t be defiled by you!” The innkeeper struggled for a while, but she was still caught by the Big Master. Her sad voice spread throughout the mountain. “Childe, you died a miserable death. You’re wronged. I’m coming for you...”
While saying this, she looked as if she was about to detonate herself.
The Big Master snorted and suppressed the chaotic fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the innkeeper’s body. “Since you’re in my hands, your life is not up to you!”
Then the Big Master was about to fly to the woods on the other side of the mountain.
When the cultivators saw the innkeeper’s sad look, heard her sad cry, and realized that she would rather die with Li Ye, they were moved to tears, and at the same time, the anger in their hearts reached an unprecedented level.
Almost all of them had scarlet eyes. Like fierce beasts, they roared from their throats and stared at the members of the Killing Hands.
It seemed that as soon as the Big Master left, they would rush forward and tear them apart.
The members of the Killing Hands were frightened and looked pale, as if they had lost their parents.
“Damn it. Why do we have such a Big Master?”
Several cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm looked at each other and felt that the crowd was very angry. Apart from being surprised, they also could not help thinking about something else.
In fact, the cultivators were not so loyal to Li Ye at first. After all, whether a human being’s heart or a demon’s heart, it was complex. But at this moment, it was different. The Big Master’s behavior made everyone angry and aroused their righteousness. Under the atmosphere, many cultivators were affected by the environment.
The bomb would not explode on its own, but if you dared to ignite it, it would dare to send you to the sky.
When several cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm were pondering if they should do something, a voice full of anger and grief, like thunder in a dry field, was heard in every cultivator’s ears with flood-like momentum. It made everyone dizzy. “Who the hell is so reckless? How dare you touch my woman!”
