Chapter 126: Repentance
"Well, since everyone acknowledges this fact, then I'll be blunt. Before Chen Daoxin's words fell, Li Xiu immediately picked up the conversation, without giving others time to speak.
On Li Xiu's side, Xiao Liuzi stood quietly, he was Liu Jiangnan's right-hand man, but he couldn't shirk being called by Li Xiu to help him today, but at the moment his heart was quite weird.
As the right and left hand of the black-hearted businessman Liu Jiangnan, Xiao Liuzi is too familiar with the cooperation of Li Xiu and Chen Daoxin, and this look is the rhythm of being ready to force others to jump into the trap.
And most importantly, who would dare to say half a word to those present?
"Pop ......"
Suddenly, a soft sound came, and Li Xiu and the others turned their heads to look, but it was Lao Suo, who had just sat down, who was frightened by Chen Daoxin and Li Xiu's singing and harmony.
Even the people of the other sects are not much better.
Everyone present saw with their own eyes the picture of Li Xiu forcing the people in the imperial capital to hand over their clothes, and even saw Wang Feng, the noble son of the imperial capital, being dragged by Li Xiusheng and pit a large stack of IOUs.
If Wang Feng and the others are not high in status but their cultivation is not high, then the powerhouse of the realm of the Spirit King was blackmailed by Li Xiu and left angrily, this is enough, right?
"Ahem......" Li Xiu's face turned slightly red, but he immediately coughed twice to cover up the past, and sat down to everyone: "You also know that the hearts and minds of people who come to the imperial capital are very small, and since everyone came to my Lingxiao Sect and accidentally got into such trouble, it is reasonable that my Lingxiao Sect can't sit idly by, and I called everyone here today to talk about this matter." ”
"What?"
The whole hall was lively in an instant, and Li Xiu's words were like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, shining into their gloomy lives, giving them great hope.
All of a sudden, everyone invariably turned their eyes full of gratitude to Li Xiu.
This is not an exaggeration, everyone present has been worried for a long time, for fear of being angered and destroyed by the people in the imperial capital, and even taking advantage of the entire sect, at this moment Li Xiu is willing to take action for this matter, how can they not be grateful?
Even if they changed to a few spirit kings, they wouldn't believe it, but when Li Xiu said it, they believed it, and sometimes people who had come into contact with Li Xiu's ability would quietly become blind.
"As long as Li ...... Li Gongzi is willing to preside over this matter, and we are grateful. Many people took the initiative to speak.
For Li Xiu, they also have a headache in terms of title, their seniority is lower than theirs, and they don't have any clear position, so they are afraid of angering Li Xiu by calling their names directly, so they can only call Li Gongzi in the end.
"Seriously, you. Li Xiu smiled slightly and waved his hand, and said in a very elegant manner: "No matter how you say that the sect you are in is also the lower sect of the Lingxiao Sect, as the upper sect, the Lingxiao Sect should provide you with shelter." ”
That's a good statement. In the hall, an elder from the Qingshui Gate of QS County touched his beard and nodded eagerly in agreement.
This bearded man is also a master of the Spirit Lord realm, and he is also quite famous in several nearby counties, and everyone is also kind when he meets the elders of several other sects on weekdays, but at this moment, he felt a lot of cold eyes as soon as he finished speaking.
"Am I wrong?" the beard scratched his hair in some confusion, his face was full of puzzlement, how could his former friends look at himself with such eyes?
Everyone could only shake their heads and sigh, Li Xiu's words were accepted, and it was too late to say anything now.
When everyone's hearts were complicated, Li Xiu's heart was secretly happy, and looking at the beard, he suddenly had a good feeling. qr1
The beard is just a casual promise, which is equivalent to confirming the fact that they admit that the Ling Xiao Sect is the upper sect, and the others dare not refute it, which has become an indisputable fact.
"I'll go and talk about it in the imperial capital, as long as everyone makes a heavenly oath, all the things you see and hear today about the people in the imperial capital are not allowed to be said, and the violators will be scattered, and the people in the imperial capital will no longer be embarrassed. Li Xiu thought about it and threw a piece of cake to everyone first.
"Is that true?"
"Really. Li Xiu nodded firmly.
The other people in the main hall were also relieved at this time, but it was simple to swear to keep it secret, after all, as long as they could save their lives, what did it matter if they rotted this matter in their hearts.
Between keeping a secret in the way of death and keeping a secret in the way of living, no one will choose to die.
"But ......" Suddenly, Li Xiu's words changed, and the hearts of everyone who had just been secretly happy immediately jumped.
Chen Daoxin had been observing from the side, he felt that following Li Xiu's vicinity was a rare learning opportunity in the world, and at this moment, he keenly caught that Li Xiu was about to make a move.
Tian Zihang's palms were sweating, and he saw Li Xiu glance at his side.
Lao Suo, surnamed Chen, also almost fell again, because Li Xiu also glanced at him, but fortunately, the disciple next to him helped him in time.
"But the people in the imperial capital are very difficult to talk to, and they are very arrogant, after all, my Lingxiao Sect is only a seven-grade small sect, and I can't afford to provoke them, so I finally spent a lot of money, and paid a lot of sect background to reluctantly let them agree to this way of dealing with it, hey, my Lingxiao Sect has suffered heavy losses." Li Xiu said that tears were about to fall, and his voice was even more sad to cry.
"Only by believing in you can you have ghosts. Everyone in the main hall immediately sat upright, staring straight ahead, pretending not to hear anything.
Who doesn't know that the group of people in the imperial capital are now seeing you like a grandson, and they have suffered heavy losses, and Ling Xiaozong has paid a high price, who is this coaxing?
Li Xiu was immediately unhappy when he saw that everyone was so uncooperative, and he spoke more directly: "Looking at your expressions, it seems that you don't appreciate it, so since you think that life is not so important, I Lingxiao Sect can't care about this matter." ”
Saying that, Li Xiu deliberately stood up and shook his sleeves, making the appearance of being very angry and ready to leave.
Not to mention, this time it really scared a lot of people, and they quickly got up one by one to persuade each other, and Li Xiucai reluctantly sat back.
"Originally, there was something that I Li Xiu didn't want to mention, but now that everyone is so indifferent, I'd better say it. After sitting down again, Li Xiu spoke again.
"According to the rules of the [Shenzhou League], once the lower-level sect is assigned to a higher-level sect, it must be filed and offered, and my Lingxiao Sect has now become a seven-grade sect, so naturally I can't avoid the rules of offering to the true Wu Sect, but my Ling Xiao Sect's family background is too thin, I'm afraid I can't satisfy the appetite of the True Wu Sect. ”
"The sect where you are located is the lower sect of the Ling Xiao Sect, and the responsibility of the Ling Xiao Sect is to protect all the lower sects, so in fact, everyone is a family, this time about the problem of the offering, I hope everyone will find a way to solve it together and help me Ling Xiao Sect get through this pass, if you really can't do it, you should pay the protection fee, after all, I heard that there have been a lot of robbers recently......"
After the meeting and discussion in the Lingxiao Hall were over, Li Xiu called the little six sons of the Foreign Affairs Yuan to the side alone.
"Little Liu, the matter of offering and filing in the major sects will be handed over to you to deal with. “
"Remember, how much each sect has paid must be strictly recorded, and they will be supported afterwards according to the proportion of their respective sect heritage and contributions, and this time it is a last resort to force them to confess, and I can't take it in vain. ”
Li Xiu rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, this time it took a lot of thought and effort to make the major sects offer him a lot of effort.
"There is no shortage of talents in the Lingxiao Sect, what is lacking is resources, it is time!" Li Xiu's heart was full of a sense of urgency, there were a lot of things in the Divine Mansion of the Overlord of Yuze, which had a great effect on him personally, but for the entire sect, there were many scruples about using all kinds of things inside, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet.
Shaking his head to make himself more sober, Li Xiu said to the guards outside the Lingxiao Pavilion, "Go and bring in a few people from the Heavenly Volcano." ”
After the party, most of the people were dismissed, and many of them left the Lingxiao Sect after swearing an oath, but the people of the Heavenly Volcano were temporarily detained, which was what Li Xiu meant.
After a short time, the guards brought in all seven members of the Heavenly Volcano.
Walking in the front is Tian Zihang, who faintly exudes the aura of the edge of the knife path on his body, and his eyes are sharp, although he is obviously a little unnatural when facing Li Xiu, but this cannot hide the extraordinaryness of this Tian Zihang.
Lie Wushuang and Huo Ling lowered their heads, once upon a time they were proud of the younger generation in Ningze County, but now they are fish on the chopping board, even if their hearts have all kinds of tastes, they can only lower their arrogant heads at this time and wait for the judgment of fate.
Li Xiu's gaze swept over the Heavenly Volcano and his party, and the murderous intent in his heart was very strong.
"Heavenly Volcano is adjacent to my Lingxiao Sect, now that my Lingxiao Sect has been promoted to the seventh grade, Heavenly Volcano is the lower sect, originally the past grievances of my Lingxiao Sect did not want to care, but the Heavenly Volcano is restless as a lower sect, and I am afraid that some things still need to be explained to my Lingxiao Sect. Li Xiu said slowly and coldly.
Tian Zihang and his party were silent, they felt extremely depressed under Li Xiu's aura, this kind of thing was only Lie Wushuang who was qualified to answer the call among several people, but Lie Wushuang's experience during this time had wiped out his sharpness, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head at this moment.
Tian Zihang was slightly angry in his heart, but at this moment, he was not good at arguing with Lie Wushuang in Ling Xiao Sect, so he could only take a step forward and reply: "Senior Brother Li is angry, Tian Volcano definitely does not mean to offend Ling Xiao Sect, some things are just a misunderstanding, please don't take Senior Brother Li to heart." ”
"Hehe!" Li Xiu smiled, his eyes swept over the seven people with sarcasm, and said coldly, "Do you want me to bring Tuoba Peak over for identification, so it's not a misunderstanding?"
With a 'groan' in his heart, Tian Zihang turned his head and glared at Lie Wushuang fiercely, if it weren't for Lie Wushuang awakening the [Volcanic Body], with Tian Zihang's temperament, I am afraid that it would be possible to directly take the Lie Wushuang Sacrifice Sword at this time.
"Senior Brother Li, this matter is not what my Heavenly Volcano meant, it's just that my Senior Brother Lie and Senior Sister Fire have made a mistake with a narrow mind, and Heavenly Volcano will also explain this matter, just ask Senior Brother Li to let the two of them live. Tian Zihang gritted his teeth and said.
For a person like Tian Zihang who is loyal to the Dao of the Dao, this kind of negotiation is the most unsuitable for him, and what he is suitable for is to cultivate without distractions like Wu Qian, never give in, and never bend down.
But at this moment, Tian Zihang can only put down his arrogance and make compromises, he is not for himself, he is for Tianshan.
"Confess?" Li Xiu sneered and said unceremoniously: "Confession is naturally given, but this confession I Li Xiu will personally go to your Heavenly Volcano to find Gongzi Huayao, as for Lie Wushuang and Huo Ling, you can only take one person today, and I can temporarily promise not to take his life for the other person, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
"This ......" Tian Zihang's face became even more ugly, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Tian Zihang had finally made a decision in his heart, and he didn't look at Lie Wushuang and Huo Ling at all when they looked at him with expectant eyes.
"Since Senior Brother Li said so, then let Senior Brother Lie be a guest in Lingxiao Sect for a while. Tian Zihang said in a deep voice. qr1
"Good. Li Xiu glanced at Tian Zihang meaningfully before continuing: "Now you can leave with your Heavenly Volcano people, except, of course, Lie Wushuang. ”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your success. Tian Zihang took a deep breath and hugged his fist at Li Xiu very seriously, today's result was definitely unexpected, he was ready for the annihilation of the whole army before he came, but he didn't expect that no one would have to die now.
"Senior Brother Lie, you have awakened the [Volcanic Body], the master will not leave you alone, during this time, you will sharpen your temperament in the Lingxiao Sect, just after the easy break, I hope that when the sect master and uncle come to pick you up, you will have already understood." ”
After a deep salute to Li Xiu again, Tian Zihang said a few words to Lie Wushuang, who was looking at him with angry eyes, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of Lingxiao Pavilion with everyone else.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, just as Tian Zihang and the others were about to leave Lingxiao Pavilion, Li Xiu's voice suddenly became even colder.
"Senior Brother Li, you have just promised to let me and others leave, don't you regret it?" Tian Zihang's face sank, and he was not suppressing it at this moment, although he who cultivated the way of the sword did not go as far as Wu Qian in the way of the sword, he was still very sharp, and his sharp eyes looked directly at Li Xiu, as if Li Xiu would rather be broken than broken by the jade if he was persecuted again.
Li Xiu didn't pay much attention to Tian Zihang's targeting, but at this moment he showed a hint of a smile and said: "Tian Zihang, what I'm saying is that you can leave with the rest of your Heavenly Volcano, but I didn't say that you can also take other people away." ”
Tian Zihang watched Li Xiu's gaze fall on a stranger beside him, and his heart suddenly became clear, this strange disciple was brought by Lie Wushuang and Huo Ling, Tian Zihang had doubts before, but at this moment, when he heard Li Xiu's words, he understood that this was an outsider who had mixed into the team of the Heavenly Volcano, and for a while, Tian Zihang's dissatisfaction with Lie Wushuang was even stronger.
"It's Tian who has overlooked, since Senior Brother Li still has something to deal with, I won't bother a few others. Tian Zihang clenched his fists and left quickly with the others.
Staring at Wei Xiaoxing, who was still wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Heavenly Volcano standing in the main hall without changing his face at this moment, Li Xiu called a guard to take Lie Wushuang down first, and then closed the door of the Lingxiao Palace, and only he and Wei Xiaoxing were left in the entire room.
