As soon as Cao Xufei finished speaking, someone in the audience said impatiently: "Aren't we just killing a few mortals? Is it necessary to mobilize troops like this? Just pay some money!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yao's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he looked at Fan Yuchen on the other side with a strange expression. At this time, Fan Yuchen's face was extremely ugly. The two golden walnuts in his hands stopped rubbing and were squeezed tightly by him, with his knuckles turning slightly white.
There is no other reason, just because the person who spoke is his disciple Tian Xue. This woman has always been arrogant and domineering. She has had many disputes with her fellow disciples in the sect. She has often seen her master as the elder of the sect. Fan Yuchen's face was naturally not much better as he was not willing to repent and even said such words in a conference where all the immortal Taoist friends and leaders from the mortal world gathered together.
Coincidentally, Cao Xufei on the podium had a bit of murderous intent in his eyes. Before he could turn his head, he looked in the direction of Fan Yuchen. There was a hint of interest deep in his pupils. He didn't expect it. This is how these immortal cultivators view mortals.
"Everyone says that there are many orchids and jade trees in the Immortal Sect. Cao is ignorant. Can Master Fan explain it?" Cao Xufei's tone was very calm, even a little hopeful.
Fan Yuchen's expression has returned to calmness. He is the leader of the Meteor Star Sect, and his status is extraordinary. His personality is very different from that of the other major immortal sect leaders, and he is also the best strategist.
After Cao Xufei finished speaking, Fan Yuchen's expression softened slightly, and he continued to rub the two golden walnuts in his hands, as if nothing had happened. He looked up at Cao Xufei and said in a calm tone: "Mayor Cao, according to the wishes of the citizens , how can I get a satisfactory answer?”
When Cao Xufei heard this, his expression softened slightly. Compared to what Zhong Yao said just now, Fan Yuchen's attitude was obviously much better.
But the calmer Fan Yuchen's tone became, the angrier the family members of the citizens in the public seats became. In their view, the calmer Cao Xufei acted, the less he cared about ordinary people's lives.
Cao Xufei nodded. Regarding the answer to this question, it was really not convenient for him to make the decision for the citizens. After all, they were their family members and they had to make their own decision. So he looked towards the crowd seats and said, "What kind of answer do you need?"
As soon as this statement came out, many people rushed to grab the microphone to speak, but after a moment of argument, a representative was elected and the representative spoke.
The representative tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, cast an angry look in the direction of Fan Yuchen, and then said: "Mr. Mayor, after our discussion, since you are a member of the Jianghu, you should act in accordance with the rules of the Jianghu and kill people to pay your debts. Pay back the money!”
If the former mayor had heard someone mention the words "rules of the rivers and lakes" at a city hall meeting like this, he would have frowned. After all, this kind of place is governed by the law, and it is obviously inappropriate to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes.
But now the mayor on the rostrum is Cao Xufei. Regardless of the rules or laws of the world, as long as he can solve the problem, it is the best way. Cao Xufei said nothing, quietly waiting for Fan Yuchen's reply.
Tian Xue, the disciple who spoke just now, felt his heart tremble suddenly after feeling the pressure coming from the sect master. He had no choice but to shut up and glance at the great elder next to the sect master intentionally or unintentionally.
The Great Elder's expression was very solemn. He knew his apprentice best, and he was often annoyed. But after all, the relationship between master and apprentice was deep. It was impossible to say that he didn't care like Fan Yuchen, so he turned to Tian Xue cast a reassuring look, and Tian Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Siko Zhongwei is the elder of the Meteor Star Sect, so Fan Yuchen must have given him some face to prevent things from getting too bad. However, no one expected what happened next.
I saw the two golden walnuts in Fan Yuchen's hand paused for a moment, and then a faint purple light began to glow in everyone's astonished eyes. However, his expression was always calm, but a pressure was already coming from the golden walnuts. The disciple named Tian Xue suddenly changed his expression. The great elder Siko Zhongwei was sitting next to Fan Yuchen, and he was the first to notice Fan Yuchen's strange movements.
"Master..."
However, even though he was the Great Elder, he still didn't react before he uttered the word "Sect Master". The two walnuts left in the hands of Sect Master Fan were only one, and Siko Zhongwei's face instantly turned pale and bloodless.
"puff!"
Before everyone could recover, they heard a sound of blood spurting from the field. When Sikou Zhong turned around slightly, he saw a deep blood hole in Tian Xue's chest, and even the originally tall chest was a little deflated. , and the blood has already wet the skirt of his clothes.
Gong Jin, who was sitting not far away, suddenly trembled. His hands couldn't help shaking, and the peanuts fell all over the floor. After he swallowed, he lowered his head to pick up the peanuts on the ground as if nothing had happened, and put it in front of his lips. Blow on it and throw it into your mouth.
The golden walnut with purple light and a wisp of blood rushed out from behind Tian Xue, and returned to Fan Yuchen's hands at some point. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood stains on the walnut, and shook his head slightly. .
Sikou Zhongwei hurriedly ran over and checked on Tian Xue who was slumped on the seat. Seeing that her face was as pale as a wall, she suddenly raised her head and said with a blank expression: "Master... why?"
Fan Yuchen ignored him, played with the golden walnuts in his hand again, looked up at Cao Xufei on the podium, and said calmly: "I wonder if your citizens are still satisfied with this answer?"
No one expected that things would turn out like this. The result was unexpected, but it was reasonable when thinking about it carefully. Cao Xufei was a little surprised, not by the result, but by Fan Yuchen. I have never seen the head of the Xian family take action before, but now I see him, but he is ruthless and decisive.
Zhong Yao was speechless and became a little embarrassed. Fan Yuchen had already taken action against his disciples. The Qingyang Sect was also a participant in this incident. It would be unreasonable for him not to take action. However, although he was the leader of the Qingyang Sect , but the methods are not as ruthless as Fan Yuchen.
In the Qingyang Sect, peace has always been the most important thing. In the world of immortality, simplicity is the most important thing. The Qingyang Sect is said to be second, but no one is said to be first. The disciples headed by the leader Zhong Yao have always been very honest. As he His son Zhong Tianqi is even more famous for his honesty.
Zhong Yao absolutely couldn't believe that his disciples caused such a thing this time. He had already told his disciples not to cause trouble and to keep a low profile. Judging from Tian Xue's behavior just now, this incident was probably instigated by the other party. dispute.
The most important thing right now is how to quell public anger?
Fan Yuchen's hand just now really shocked the people in the crowd seats. Some of them were covered in cold sweat, while others were slumped in their seats with confused expressions. They thought that if the golden walnut just pointed at their chests, they would have been wiped out. .
After this move, many people got to know the master of the Falling Star Sect. This person is definitely a person who is not easy to mess with!
No one in the crowd seats dared to push the envelope any more, no one dared to be aggressive anymore. The people from the Immortal Sect were already giving Cao Xufei a lot of face by sitting here today, not to mention that the Master of the Fan Sect personally attacked his own disciples and tried his best to give in. If he continues to entangle, Going on and on is going too far.
Although Mayor Cao Xufei stated that immortal cultivators are equal to mortals, this is only subjective equality. From an objective perspective, the gap cannot be eliminated with just a few words.
Facing Fan Yuchen's question, Cao Xufei did not answer in time. He just turned to look at Zhong Yao, but Zhong Yao frowned and began to hesitate. He couldn't bear to do anything to his disciples, and now he urgently needed a solution that had the best of both worlds.
The disciples behind Zhong Yao who were responsible for the incident were trembling in their minds. They couldn't help but recall Tian Xue's fate just now. They turned to look at the female disciple who was being held by Sikou Zhongwei. She was already dying and her blood was still flowing.
"Master, you and I have known each other for many years, and yet you decided to kill my disciple for a few insignificant outsiders!"
Si Kou Zhong's eyes were slightly wet, and he gritted his teeth and said this, but he still didn't get a reply from Fan Yuchen. He lowered his head and kept wiping the blood from the corners of Tian Xue's lips, but no matter how he wiped it, he couldn't wipe it clean. Because his hands were also covered in blood.
"Master...Master, it's all...disciple's fault. Disciple deserves it. Don't blame Master Fan..."
Tian Xue tried her best to speak, and the corners of her eyes were filled with tears, which dripped and wet Siko Zhongwei's clothes.
Si Kou Zhongwei shook his head repeatedly. How could he not know what Tian Xue meant by saying this, which was to prevent him from being implicated by her. If he angered the sect leader, he might even suffer disaster. He was very grateful that his apprentice would think of him. But now that his apprentice's life and death are at stake, he can't control that much.
"Xue'er, stop talking. I will heal your wounds right now. Just hold back!" Sikou Zhongwei shook his head repeatedly, and kept sending vitality to Tian Xue's chest with his hands, trying to repair the blood hole.
After a moment, he turned his head to look at Fan Yuchen, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Fan, all my past kindnesses have been repaid, and the relationship between you and me is severed. From now on, we will never see each other except on the battlefield!"
As he spoke, he took out a badge from his pocket. This was a badge that belonged exclusively to the Great Elder and was also a symbol of status.
He put the badge on the ground, then hugged his apprentice Tian Xue and left the conference hall without looking back. He left the city hall. He left. No one came to see him off, and no one knew how he would go next.
In the vast world, the master and apprentice Siko Zhongwei disappeared!
Gong Jin stood up and walked over, stepped over a pool of blood, leaned over and picked up the great elder's badge on the ground.
"Master, the great elder...is gone!"
When it comes to relationships, Gong Jin has a pretty good relationship with the first elder in the sect. This time the first elder left, he really felt a little unhappy. Although he disagreed with Fan Yuchen's actions, if he were in this position, There is probably no better way.
He was very aware of Fan Yuchen's methods. Previously, it was because his master was too strict, demanding, ruthless, decisive, and good at strategy. Gong Jin couldn't stand under this kind of pressure, so she secretly escaped. .
After listening to Gong Jin's words, Fan Yuchen just hummed slightly, looked at the badge in his hand, and said, "Keep this badge and return it to him when you have a chance in the future!"
Although it was uncertain whether Sikou Zhongwei would come back, he still had to say what needed to be said, but the two golden walnuts in his hands no longer rubbed against each other.
The disciple who caused the incident in the Meteor Star Sect was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. Later, a great elder-level figure left. This kind of reply has forced the family members of the deceased to shut up.
When Zhong Yao was in trouble, several disciples behind him discussed for a while and elected a representative. The representative said: "Master, we are indeed at fault in this matter. In order to express our apology, we are willing to temporarily leave Qingyang to fulfill the deceased's unfinished business." I have fulfilled my obligation and please allow the leader to accept it!"
Zhong Yao was slightly relieved when he heard this. This should be a better way to deal with it. Since the person involved voluntarily fulfilled the obligations of the deceased, it was the best.
Afterwards, Cao Xufei settled the outcome of the matter with the consent of the deceased's family. In addition, the Meteor Star Sect and the Qingyang Sect also allocated a sum of money for the medical and psychological comfort of the injured.
This is the end of the Judgment Conference!
