The three of them were all shocked and shocked after hearing what Master Tianwu said.
This person can be praised by Tianwu Taoist for his extraordinary ability, which shows that his cultivation level should not be inferior to Tianwu Taoist, and he is probably a star power. But Taoist Tianwu immediately said, "The deadline is approaching and time is running out," which shocked the three of them beyond measure.
Since last night, after witnessing Tianwu Taoist's various heaven-defying methods, the three of them have subconsciously separated the word "death" from the power of the stars. They feel that as long as they are not killed by the same level of existence like the Skeleton Ghost King last night, With their powerful methods, they should not be able to die.
However, Taoist Tianwu's words shattered their subconscious fantasies, and clearly told them that the Star Almighty is also a human being, and cannot escape the shackles of life, old age, illness and death, and will one day be buried in the loess.
The three of them could not help but feel a sense of sadness and powerlessness, and deeply felt the irresistibility of fate.
Seeing the reactions of the three people, Tianwu Taoist did not say anything to explain, because this is a problem that every cultivator must face head-on sooner or later. Everyone needs to pursue their own hearts and find their own answers.
"Senior, may I ask who this senior is? Where can I find him?" Zhou Jianlai broke the silence and asked Taoist Tianwu.
"The son of the former royal family and the current Duke of the dynasty, Wei Zi." Taoist Tianwu said.
Zhou Jianlai searched in his mind, and then showed a puzzled expression, because he searched everything he had learned and heard, but could not find any information about the Duke of Wei.
"He has long been forgotten by the world." Taoist Tianwu shook his head and smiled, "You don't need to know his past, just treat him as an old man in his twilight years. When this matter is over, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask, Qi Wuwei should know where he lives."
"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Jianlai put away his curiosity obediently, and at the same time expressed his deep gratitude to Taoist Tianwu for this great opportunity.
"Who is here? Tell me your name. Otherwise, don't blame the crossbow for being ruthless!" As soon as he flew close to the wall of the Central City, a shout came from the wall. At the same time, the octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows aimed at the He family turned around and aimed at the four people on the yellow paper.
As soon as they were targeted by the Octagonal Immortal Executioner's heavy crossbow, Zhang Xiaozu and the others immediately felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in their hearts. They felt as if someone was holding a sharp sword against their throats, and the hairs all over their bodies stood on end.
"Qingyun Mountain, Sanqing Temple, Tianwu Taoist." Tianwu Taoist announced his name in response.
The general on the city wall immediately raised his hands in salute and said: "Junior has seen Master Tianwu. Reporting to Master, Yancheng has entered a state of special combat readiness."
"I know, I will go through the city gate next time and won't make it difficult for you." Taoist Tianwu heard the implication of the general's words.
"Thank you for your love, Master!" The general thanked him, then raised a flag and ordered the Octagonal Immortal Killing Crossbow to change its direction.
"Huh!" The sense of crisis disappeared. Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He found that in just a short while, he was already covered in cold sweat. He looked down at the black giant on the city wall below and asked Zhou Jianlai: "Brother Zhou, what is that thing? How could you let him?" I feel absolutely horrible.”
"It should be the Octagonal Immortal Killing Heavy Crossbow." Zhou Jianlai also breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The Octagonal Heavy Crossbow can be controlled by infusing true energy. The maximum range can reach three thousand steps, and it can hit half a step within one thousand five hundred steps. The powerful power causes damage, and if it is aimed at within three hundred steps, the powerful power will not even have a chance to dodge within half a step."
When Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath. Thinking about being targeted by so many eight-pointed Immortal Killing crossbows, they felt like they were surviving a disaster.
"If this guy filled the city wall, wouldn't he be invincible?" Niu Dawa asked in amazement.
Zhou Jianlai shook his head and smiled and said: "It is not easy to cast this big thing. It is extremely expensive and time-consuming. It is said that it takes at least four or five years from the beginning to the completion of an octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbow. And to build one It would be great if one out of a thousand can reach the quality standard and be put into military service. We in Baiyun City only have fifteen Octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbows in total. Yancheng is worthy of being Yancheng, and there are so many in one central city. Eight-pointed immortal-killing heavy crossbow."
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa couldn't help but be speechless.
The yellow paper flying under his feet suddenly stopped. Taoist Tianwu looked down and said, "We're here."
Zhang Xiaozu and the others looked down, and a vast mansion appeared in their field of vision.
The high-walled courtyard is dotted with rocks, clusters of flowers, swaying green willows, pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and lakes, all of which are magnificent and elegant.
Looking at the blooming flowers, the green wickers, and the lake full of lotus leaves, Zhang Xiaozu and the others
His expression couldn't help but be in a trance, and he felt like he was seeing a paradise.
"Good fellow, the courtyard is so luxuriously decorated, there must be countless treasures in the treasury. Wait for me for a moment." Taoist Tianwu looked at the magnificent Li Mansion, rubbed his hands and said with eyes shining.
"" Only then did Zhang Xiaozu and the others realize that Taoist Tianwu didn't really want to destroy the Li family, but came for the Li family's treasury. No wonder they didn't kill Li Hongxi and other Li family members at the door of Tingyaxuan.
Zhou Jianlai suddenly became inexplicably excited. He felt that this was a rare learning opportunity to accumulate combat experience for half of the bandits to act alone in the future, so he hurriedly reminded Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa: "Learn more."
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa didn't know why, and looked at Zhou Jianlai inquiringly.
"Ahem, don't forget your identities." Zhou Jianlai coughed lightly and reminded him. Seeing that Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa became more and more confused after hearing this, he had no choice but to tell them with his mouth: "Half of the big bandits."
Only then did Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa remember that they still had such an identity, and they understood what Zhou Jianlai wanted them to learn, and nodded hurriedly.
Tianwu Taoist took out a dozen small red flags from the sleeves of his wide robe and threw the red flags one by one to different corners of the Li family's yard. When the last red flag fell in the Li family's yard, there was only sound in the air. There was a buzzing sound, followed by a murderous aura rising into the sky from the Li family yard. Looking towards Li's Mansion, I saw that it was not a paradise, but it was clearly a Shura battlefield filled with evil spirits.
boom!
Bang!
The Li family members all felt the frightening murderous atmosphere and hurriedly ran out of the room and asked each other what happened.
"Cough!" In mid-air, Taoist Tianwu coughed slightly, which immediately attracted the attention of all the Li family members. Then the coercion of his starry realm powerhouse instantly enveloped the entire Li Mansion, and he shouted coldly: "I have requisitioned the Li Mansion, and I will give you half of it." You have a quarter of an hour to get out of my mansion. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy!"
The murderous aura, evil aura, coupled with the coercion of the powerful people in the Star Realm, people with low cultivation levels simply couldn't bear it, their mental defense collapsed instantly, and they ran towards the door of the house as if they were running for their lives.
"Senior, who is an expert? What grudges do you have against my Li family? Why do you want to occupy my Li family's mansion?"
"Senior, if you commit banditry in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being punished by the laws of the empire?"
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask for help!"
Only a few strong men who have cultivated to the seventh or eighth level can still stand up straight and argue with Tianwu Taoist.
"Hmph!" Tianwu Taoist snorted coldly and said: "I am Qingyun Mountain, Sanqing Temple, Tianwu Zhenren. You, the head of the Li family, led people to destroy my mansion. I have no place to live, so I have to live in your house. I like peace and quiet, so I asked you to move out. Do you have any questions?"
After hearing this, the Li family's expressions changed several times in an instant. They knew that the head of the family, Li Hongxi, had taken people to seek justice for Li Haoran, but why didn't the head of the family come back and the enemy came to the door first? And they don’t understand, how does the family head seek justice? Is he an idiot? He went so far as to destroy the mansion of a powerful person in the star realm.
"The time is coming." Taoist Tianwu said without emotion in his voice, "I just slaughtered more than a thousand people. I hope you won't be as stupid as those dead people and use your own lives to test the patience of a powerful star. "
Zhang Xiaozu and the others couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this, admiring Taoist Tianwu's calmness when talking big words. This made them understand one thing: there is no difference between bragging and harsh words.
After hearing what Taoist Tianwu said, the Li family members were pounding in their hearts, wondering whether the head of the family, Li Hongxi, and the people he brought had been killed by Taoist Tianwu.
"Senior, what a trick!" A half-step master from the Li family gritted his back teeth and said bitterly. After saying this, he greeted the others and walked towards the door of the house.
As Taoist Tianwu said, they cannot use their lives to test the patience of a powerful star.
But there are some who are not afraid. Some people shouted angrily: "I won't leave! This is the residence of my Li family. I don't believe that he dares to occupy the magpie's nest and rob people's houses in broad daylight?"
"Yes!" Someone immediately echoed loudly, saying: "What about the Great Celestial Master of Sanqingguan? Can you ignore the morality of the world and ignore the laws of the empire?"
"Don't be afraid of him! The City Lord's Mansion will make the decision for us!"
But as time went by, the murderous aura in the yard became more and more intense, making the Li family feel as if they were on a Shura battlefield. Their hearts trembled uncontrollably, and deep fear swept through their bodies.
The people who had been clamoring loudly before also slipped away in disgrace.
"Time's up!" Tianwu Daoren Cao
The yellow paper fell into the Li family's yard and landed in front of the seven Li family members who were looking forward to death. He smiled at them and nodded, approvingly saying: "Not bad, not bad, you have backbone. I think highly of you."
These seven people were mentally prepared to die violently. They never expected that Taoist Tianwu not only did not kill them, but also praised them. After being stunned for a moment, they suddenly felt secretly happy and wondered if this was a set up by Taoist Tianwu. A test, and they are the lucky ones who passed the test and will soon receive the opportunity given by Taoist Tianwu.
"I won't kill you because I think it's difficult for you to practice." Taoist Tianwu continued, "There are a few cooks in the house, and I believe the seven of you should be enough to do the job."
"" The seven members of the Li family almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It turned out that this was what Taoist Tianwu meant by being optimistic about them.
They were just about to express their anger that Shi Ke could not be killed, but they heard Niu Dawa say: "Senior, they look like masters with clothes on their backs, food on their hands, and mouths to eat. You ask them to cook for us, even if they don't You dare to poison the food, but the food will definitely be more poisonous than the poison. In my opinion, for the sake of safety, it is better to hire a few professionals."
"" The seven members of the Li family felt the most vicious contempt from Niu Dawa, but they did not dare to say anything, otherwise they would be embarrassed to see others if they were forced to go to the kitchen to cook by Taoist Tianwu.
"That makes sense." Taoist Tianwu nodded, pointed at one of them, and ordered: "Go out and call the cooks in."
"Senior, if you want to kill or behead me, you can do whatever you want. Why treat me like a servant and humiliate me?" The man said with a slightly raised chin and an unruly expression.
Snapped!
Taoist Tianwu raised his hand and slapped him, and the power of the stars poured out, hitting the man in the face. The man's body flew out and hit a wall dozens of steps away before he stopped and fell to the ground. Only his head was left. The second half looked like it would not survive.
The remaining six members of the Li family all looked pale.
"I originally planned to destroy your Li family, but I changed my mind later when I was in a good mood. What's the matter, do you really think that I don't dare to kill people?" Taoist Tianwu said in a cold tone, pointing to the other person: "You, go and kill all the cooks. Call in."
"Yes, yes." The person who was named was so frightened that his body trembled violently, and he quickly responded in a trembling voice. The death of his companions and the undisguised murderous intention of Taoist Tianwu defeated his arrogance. What is unyielding with force, and what is unworthy of being a scholar? It is better to live without being killed than to be humiliated. He felt extremely regretful, and he would not have stayed if he had known this.
Taoist Tianwu looked at the remaining five people and asked: "Who else wants to die? Come forward and I will help him."
The five people lowered their heads, perhaps feeling humiliated and angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to say a word.
Zhang Xiaozu and the other three looked on, feeling a little unbearable.
Tianwu Taoist is using practical actions to teach them a lesson about the law of the jungle.
"Second Master, why did you come out? Is the old man bluffing?"
"Second uncle, where is my father? Why didn't he come out?"
Hundreds of members of the Li family gathered around the gate and waited anxiously. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately gathered around and asked eagerly.
The man who came out was named Li Hongwu, the second brother of the head of the family, Li Hongxi.
With tears in his eyes, Li Hongwu looked at the young man in front of him and choked up: "Your father is gone. Hurry, go to the City Lord's Mansion for help. Right now, the only one who can uphold justice for our Li family is the City Lord's Mansion."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh, feeling that he had no shame in staying in front of the clan members. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "All the cooks are coming in with me."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Ten more maidservants who can serve others."
More than twenty cooks walked out of the crowd, and ten more well-behaved and handsome maids were called out of the crowd by the steward in charge.
The cooks are relatively calm, because they are just cooks. If you ask them to come in, they will definitely be cooking. As long as they are obedient and do their job well, their lives will definitely not be in danger. The ten maids, all of whom had pale faces and tears in their eyes, seemed to have foreseen the coming tragic fate.
The cook and the maid were brought to Taoist Tianwu, who ordered them to cook. They wanted big fish and meat, as rich as possible. The head chef patted his chest and promised to complete the task. Then he ordered ten maids to clean up the four bedrooms and prepare hot water for bathing.
After sending away the cook and maid, Taoist Tianwu's eyes fell on the six members of the Li family and ordered: "Lead the way to the treasure house where your Li family hides their treasures. The ugly things are ahead. If you don't tell me, and I find you out, I will Make sure nothing is left inside. If you lead the way, I will leave some for you."
