Chapter 80: Premeditated Murder
The screams swirled in the narrow corridor, forming a long-lasting echo. Lu Li's face suddenly turned solemn, Tao Yao only glanced at him, and asked, "Something happened?"
"Hmm." Lu Li nodded, "The transformation talisman on the little junior brother of the Tao family has become invalid, and the twelfth senior brother stabbed my clone to death with a sword."
The so-called doppelganger is just a doppelganger talisman, which is pierced through the heart by a sword, and it has no effect on Lu Li. Therefore, he who makes his face solemn should have something else.
"Senior Sister Tao, let's go quickly."
Fast?
I'm afraid it's too late.
When she and Lu Li left Tao Ranju, they had already fallen behind the brothers of the Tao family, and when they reached the forbidden land, they bumped into Tao Er and Tao Qi again, delaying them for at least half an hour.
And half an hour is enough to make some well-dressed beasts do a lot of crazy things.
It must be so, otherwise this scream should have been issued when Tao Yao and Lu Li were hiding behind the bushes, so Lu Li's clone would not have died.
Lu Li should be clear about these things, so he walked fast.
When he rushed to the basement floor, Lu Li did not hesitate, and pointed to the number one marked with Yongdao, "Senior sister, go this way."
The room where the little fox demon was closed, the door was wide open, and three or five of the nine Tao family disciples entered the room, leaving three or five disheveled ones in the hallway outside the door.
These people looked inside with different expressions on their faces, curiosity about what was happening, urgency to know what was going on, and shallow excitement that was hidden, but no regret or grief.
Lu Li urged his skills, so that Tao Yao, who should not be enough to be invisible in front of the little disciples of the Tao family, also became invisible. The two of them cautiously walked to a position very close to the Tao family's disciple and stood silently.
Through the sparse figures, Tao Yao and Lu Li could barely see the scene in the room.
At this time, the panicked shouting in the room had not completely stopped.
The arrogant Twelfth Senior Brother raised his hand and jerked the disciple who kept screaming, "Okay, what's it called?!" At this point, even if you cut your throat, it won't help!"
The beaten disciple seemed to have just come back to his senses, his head shrank, and he knelt pitifully at the feet of the twelfth senior brother, wailing: "Twelve senior brothers, you believe me, I really don't know, the fox demon is transformed by the little junior brother, if I know——"
"If you knew, things wouldn't have changed." After saying that, the Twelfth Senior Brother raised his foot mercilessly and kicked it next to the little junior brother who was wearing Chi Guoguo.
Tao Yao lowered her eyes and looked at the little junior brother who was lying on the ground, his chest was still rising and falling, but it was obvious that there was a lot more qi when he went out than when he went in.
Before she left yesterday, she instructed Lu Li to whip the little junior brother of the Tao family well, so as not to expose the stuffing easily. But with Lu Li's temperament, how can he really beat people bloody?
Now the little junior brother who fell to the ground is in pieces, and it can only be the pot of the Tao family's disciples.
The disciple who was kicked away hurriedly crawled back to the Twelfth Senior Brother, and he quickly stretched out his hand and hugged one of the Twelfth Senior Brother's legs: "Twelfth Senior Brother, I am telling the truth!
Anyway, my little junior brother and I are both in the same door, and we go in and out together on weekdays, if I know that the fox demon is him, how can I be willing to attack him?!
I'm—"
He couldn't go on, because the man was crying and fainting. This guy cried really, and there were enough tears, but the love that flowed in his eyes was not sadness, but the joy of the success of the plan, and a little fear of not knowing the future.
He is not crying for the poor little junior brother, he is crying for the freedom from sin.
Senior Brother Twelve sighed: "Okay, Seventeen, I have collected your tears, and now it is too late for you to cry, instead of wasting time crying, let's discuss what to do next."
Seventeen, who was crying profusely, immediately put away her tears and stood up in anticipation.
When he got up, he didn't forget to take care of his clothes, and then respectfully saluted his fellow disciples: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, seventeen shame, if it weren't for the seventeen cultivation is too bad, why would you go to the way of thieves and harm the little junior brother-
Thousands of mistakes are the fault of ten people, and seventeen are willing to do things for one person. When he was gone, Seventeen confessed his mistake to the head of the house and accepted the punishment."
As Seventeen spoke, Senior Brother Twelve raised his eyes and swept over the group of senior brothers.
Tao Yao also swept over the Tao family disciples with him.
Whether Seventeen is on the path of a thief or not, no one knows better than her and Lu Li, because the transformation talisman used by Lu Li is as incompetent as her, and it can be broken in an instant.
Seventeen could never be as he said, because his cultivation was so poor that he was deceived by others and harmed the little junior brother of the Tao family.
This guy found out early in the morning that the fox demon was a little junior brother, but he didn't scream at first, and only after torturing people to half-dead did he pretend to find out the clues and screamed in horror.
To put it bluntly, he deliberately harmed people, and screaming was just a means for him to get away with hurting people.
Such a truth, except for Tao Yao knowing, these disciples of the Tao family may not know, especially the Twelfth Senior Brother, I am afraid that they know it best. However, whether it was twelve or the rest of the Tao family disciples, there was no trace of sympathy or pity for the Tao family's junior disciples in their eyes.
Tao Yao could see it clearly, and the Twelfth Senior Brother naturally saw it clearly, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, this place is narrow, let's not gather here, what should we do next, let's go out and discuss."
The words were about to fall, and a group of Tao family disciples who shrank in the room and gathered outside the door stood up as birds and beasts, and the little junior brother who was killed was obviously still alive, but no one cared, no one said that they would take the little junior brother out to treat their injuries first, and no one even remembered to take off a coat and cover a shocking scar for the little junior brother.
In the long and narrow corridor, the disciples of the Tao family had already walked away, and Tao Yao was just about to follow, but he saw that Lu Li did not move, and a pair of godless eyes fell on the little junior brother of the Tao family.
Tao Yao stretched out her five fingers and pulled twice in front of the demented Lu Li's eyes, Lu Li blinked and asked blankly, "Senior Sister Tao, why is this?"
"What, why?"
Lu Li tried to hook the corners of his mouth and make some expressions, but what was happening in front of him was beyond his cognition, and he couldn't hook the corners of his mouth.
"That transformation talisman is an ordinary person's encounter, and it will also break the effect, Seventeen can't have found out that the fox demon is a little junior brother pretending. Could it be that I was conceited and accidentally mistaken?"
Tao Yao said coldly: "Lu Li, don't be stupid."
"Huh?"
Obviously, Lu Li didn't understand Tao Yao's advice.
Tao Yao turned his head sideways and looked at Lu Li, who was dazed: "Under the Heavenly Dao, if you encounter a demon, you will be killed, so if a cultivator such as you bumps into a demon, the first thing he wants to do is to kill the demon.
But killing is not the same as killing.
Is it because the Tao family locked the entire fox demon clan underground because there is a rule under the Heavenly Dao that you will kill a demon if you encounter it? No, they do it for their own selfish desires.
Such selfish people, they don't care whether they want to kill demons or people, because it doesn't matter what they kill, what matters is that they are profitable."
"Yes...... What good will it do them to kill the little junior brother?"
Tao Yao smiled, for Lu Li's innocence.
No matter who you are, if you stay in Kunlun for a long time, you will inevitably be naïve, after all, Kunlun Mountain is full of colorful flowers, and they can't see the darkness for hundreds of years, so that they forget that there is too much darkness hidden between heaven and earth.
"Have you forgotten? Yesterday, when we followed them to the forbidden land, the junior brother said that the seventeenth senior brother had laughed at him, which shows that their relationship is not good."
Lu Li shook his head slowly, unable to accept Tao Yao's explanation: "Just because of this?"
"For a person like Senior Brother Lu, who is still a human being, killing someone may require a good reason, but for a group of people like the Tao family who have lost their humanity, they don't need it."
After that, Tao Yao didn't care what Lu Li thought, she followed the Yongdao and chased after the Tao family disciples who had already gone away.
Lu Li didn't chase after him, he naturally wouldn't chase after him, because he felt guilty about what happened to the little junior brother of the Tao family, Tao Yao didn't even need to ask, he knew that he regretted making a bet with her, he felt that if Tao Yao hadn't made a bet with him, maybe the little brother of the Tao family would not die.
However, if Seventeen's killing intent does not disappear, something will inevitably happen.
Isn't it inevitable, shouldn't the little junior brother of the Tao family die? If he didn't deserve to die, then who should he ask for the lives of the countless innocent demon beasts who died in his hands?
When she was about to walk out of the road, Tao Yao stopped, her back against the mountain wall, hidden in the shadows, listening to the disciples of the Tao family discuss the way back.
Seventeen once again behaved coyly, half-bowed down and confessed to the brothers: "Senior brothers, senior brothers, you don't have to discuss, Seventeen will go and confess to the head of the family and bear the responsibility for the crime."
Senior Brother Twelve raised his eyebrows, raised his foot and kicked Seventeen, Seventeen couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to the ground: "You bear it with all your might, what do you take to bear it?!"
The little junior brother is not the Lang Jun of ordinary people, he is the youngest son of the city lord of Jimo, if the city lord knows how his son died, you are not the only one who wants to bury the little junior brother?!"
Even if it is the son of the city lord, what can it be? Obviously not dead, but he has already been sentenced to death, and he really can't die.
Seventeen, who was lying on the ground, wept bitterly: "Senior Brother Twelve, I was wrong, I am willing to admit my mistake, as long as Senior Brother speaks, he wants me to pay for my life immediately, it's okay."
"Okay, you can die."
「……」
The Twelfth Senior Brother had a cold face, and instead of continuing to deal with the hypocritical and cunning Seventeen, he turned his head and asked the other senior brothers, "Senior brothers, senior brothers, what do you think?"
The senior brothers next to each other glanced at each other, and then one of them said, "Twelve, among our group of people, you alone are the most knowledgeable and capable, and I am afraid that you have the final say on how this matter ends."
"Yes, yes." The rest of the brothers bowed their heads in unison.
This sycophant made twelve faces: "Since you are willing to give me face, then I should not give in, say my own opinions, whether it will be okay or not, you see."
"Good, good." Everyone responded in unison, just waiting for the twelve senior brothers to speak. Tao Yao had almost predicted that as long as he said it, the people next to him would definitely respond immediately.
Behind Tao Yao, Lu Li was late, she glanced back at Lu Li, he had taken off his coat, and his face was pale, Tao Yao didn't need to ask, she guessed that the little junior brother of the Tao family was dead.
Lu Li was unwilling, seeing that the little junior brother was not dead, he wanted to save him, but he didn't know that Seventeen was prepared to kill people, so how could he leave life for the little junior brother?
Lu Li silently walked to Tao Yao's side and raised his eyes to look ahead.
The Twelve Senior Brothers, who had made a decision, spoke, "What we should do depends on how we choose. If you choose to let the little junior brother live, there will be a way to live, and if you choose to let the little junior brother die, there will be a way to die. So, what do you choose?"
