Chapter 32: Murder and Punishment
Ran Qiu sneered: "What, move out of the Star Moon Hall to suppress me? Could it be that you think that my Great Cloud Dynasty has a million male soldiers, and will really be afraid of a mere holy land? Do you think that the Star Moon Hall will really go to war with Dayun for you?"
Lin Xiu didn't pay attention to Ran Qiu's words, but slowly exhaled a breath, and then said as if he had suddenly realized: "I see!"
Lin Xiu's calmness made Feng Lie and Wang Mang stunned together, and even Ran Qiu's gaze was slightly condensed, and the latter said coldly: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiu said calmly: "It's not interesting, it's just that through you, I understand someone's attitude towards the major holy lands, and secondly, I can guess why you haven't endured it for many years, but now you don't hesitate to take risks to launch a mutiny." β
Ran Qiu's gaze froze slightly, becoming a little unnatural, and said angrily, "What are you talking nonsense?"
Although he quickly covered up the unnaturalness, it was still clearly captured by Lin Xiu, which made the latter even more firm in his judgment.
He suddenly spoke: "To be honest, when I first heard General Yunlong's warning, I thought the other party was making a big fuss, but now it seems that I am really too naΓ―ve."
Ran Qiu shouted: "Boy, what are you talking nonsense there? Hmph, do you think you can get away by pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
Lin Xiu suddenly grinned, then looked up at Ran Qiu, and said with an incomparably bright gaze, "Do you really dare to kill me?"
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened, and their eyes were full of shock, and Feng Lie and Wang Mang even thought that Lin Xiu was really crazy.
Who is Ran Qiu?
General Red Cloud!
But only those of them who are familiar with it know that the word red cloud does not describe the picturesque scenery full of red clouds......
That's describing blood!!
It's saying that the crimson blood even reflects the clouds in the sky!
This is a butcher who really kills without blinking!!
He didn't know what mercy was in his heart except for killing, and when he was fighting against the Wind Dynasty, every time he plundered the city, whether it was a gray-haired old man or a threatening woman and child, he would be brutally slaughtered.
Everywhere he went, there was blood and bones......
General Hongyun is indeed not famous, because this is a title re-promulgated after Yun Liantian conquered the country. Because his previous title was really a nightmare for the people of the world, it is even said that even children dare not continue to cry after hearing it......
Demon Blood!
Now Lin Xiu actually said to such a murderous butcher without blinking, "Do you dare to kill me?"
In such a situation, how can these generals who know the bottom of Ran Qiu not be shocked? How dare not be shocked?
They thought it was the biggest joke in the world, but for some reason, they couldn't laugh at all.
Especially when they found that there was really no fear in Lin Xiu's eyes, the smile in their hearts turned into surprise......
Is this young man really not afraid of death?
Ran Qiu was also stunned when he heard Lin Xiu's words at first, but immediately after, he laughed, leaned back and forth in laughter, and even tears were about to come out.
Wang Mang and Feng Lie secretly sighed.
It's just that I don't know if this is lamenting Lin Xiu's ignorance, or sighing for their own lives that are about to come to an end.
They are ready to make a move, and they are also ready to die. The loyalty of these two people to Wei Jinglong is beyond the imagination of others, although they can't save the overall situation now, they must also resolutely carry out Wei Jinglong's instructions and take care of Lin Xiu.
At least until the two of them died, they couldn't watch Ran Qian kill Lin Xiu.
Facing the maniacally laughing Ran Qiu and the extremely strange atmosphere in the field, Lin Xiu only frowned slightly, and did not have too many expressions.
He really didn't know that Ran Qiu was the Demon General's Blood Slaughter, but ...... The important thing is that he guesses what the other party really wants, so at least he won't die until the other party wins!
Ran Qiu laughed for a while, and finally forcibly held back, but there was still an irrepressible smile between his tones: "You actually asked me if I dare to kill you, do you know who I am?"
Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't speak, Ran Qiu suddenly said with a playful face: "Have you ever heard of the Demon General's Blood Slaughter?", after saying this, his eyes stared at Lin Xiu without blinking, as if he expected to see surprise, panic, and fear in the eyes of the other party...... That would give him great vanity and satisfaction.
But in the end, all he got was accidents and loss.
In Lin Xiu's eyes, apart from the fleeting and almost negligible surprise, there was no further negative emotion at all.
This made Ran Qiu feel a great sense of frustration, and the generals in the hall were also extremely confused. One of them even said tentatively, "Boy, you haven't heard of it...... Demon...... Our name is the general, right?"
Lin Xiu said lightly: "Demon General Blood Slaughter, of course I have heard of it, not only have I heard it, it is like thunder, it is said that even children dare not cry anymore when they hear it!"
Hearing this, everyone was really puzzled.
Seeing Ran Qiu staring at him with a puzzled expression, the corners of Lin Xiu's mouth suddenly pulled out a slight arc, glanced at it, and said in Ran Qiu's tone:
"But...... So what?"
Blood Slaughter's face sank, and he said coldly, "I decided to retract the previous words that didn't torture you. β
Lin Xiu said with a flat gaze: "It doesn't matter, I just don't know if you've heard a word?"
Blood Tu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What words?"
Lin Xiu said softly: "It's easy to kill people, it's hard to punish your heart!"
Blood Tu narrowed his eyes, staring at Lin Xiu but didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart?
Lin Xiu continued: "But I want to tell you today that there is one more difficult thing than punishing the heart, and that is the confidant...... Know what is in the minds of others, or where they are"
He paused slightly, suddenly grinned at Ran Qiu, put his right index finger on his temple and tapped lightly, and then said:
"What you want, here!! If you have the ability to kill me and still get it, do it! Otherwise, you have to think carefully about the consequences of killing me and not getting anything...... I don't think you can afford it!"
Blood Slaughter fell into complete silence, and his face became extremely ugly......
This scene fell in the eyes of the other generals in the hall, but it made them feel extremely incredible.
What did Lin Xiu grasp that made Ran Qiu so desperate to get it, and even took the risk to launch a mutiny, and now he was pinched by the other party for seven inches and didn't dare to act rashly?
The atmosphere in the hall became strange, but no one dared to speak. After half a sound like this, Ran Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "Boy, I really underestimated you. But that's okay, I have time to play slowly with you. Hehe, you reminded me of something......"
Lin Xiu frowned slightly, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.
Ran Qiu suddenly looked at Feng Lie and Wang Mang, and said with a cruel smile: "Are you willing to meet with Bi Long and them, or are you going to force me to make a move and kill you on the spot?"
Wang Mang and Feng Lie looked happy, and after looking at each other, they each sighed softly, and they gave up resistance.
Ran Qiu waved his hand, and immediately four generals stepped forward and sealed the cultivation of the three of them.
Ran Qiu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Escort to purgatory first, and take strict care!"
The four of them said yes, and then they wanted to pressure the three of them to leave the hall, but at this moment, Ran Qiu suddenly said, "Oh, yes, wait!"
Seeing Lin Xiu turn his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth lifted a weird arc, and he said with a playful expression: "Look at my memory, there is something I almost forgot to tell you!"
Seeing Lin Xiu's brows tightened more and more, Ran Qiu's smile became even stronger, and he said softly: "I got the news that the current hall master of the Star Moon Palace, that beautiful girl named Moon Shadow Xuan, is about to enter the northwest. It seems that there is still some ink, what is true, what is Tao, oh, I am a person, I am only interested in women, and I never remember the names of men. β
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's eyes finally rippled, and his face was completely gloomy.
The smile on Ran Qiu's face became more and more weird, and one hand suddenly covered the position of his left chest and heart, and pretended to be painful and said: "Murder and heart...... What a cruel thing!"
Lin Xiu turned his head abruptly and turned away with a gloomy face.
At this point, Ran Qiu finally completely reversed his decline and gained the upper hand in the psychological war with Lin Xiu for the first time.
After Lin Xiu and the others left, Ran Qiu suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the direction of the departure of several people at the entrance of the main hall, and muttered:
"This kid is really not simple!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they showed expressions of deep understanding. How can a person who can confront the demon general's blood slaughter without falling behind, and even make the other party deflated at the beginning, how can he be a simple person?
Next, after Ran Qiu made some more arrangements, those generals were ordered to leave one by one. After the hall was quiet again, Ran Qiu suddenly spoke into the air:
"Is there a whereabouts of the Black Tiger Talisman?"
A gloomy voice sounded behind him: "I have searched Wei Jinglong's mansion, but I have not found anything like a talisman. β
Ran Qiu frowned and muttered, "I can't find the Tiger Talisman, I can't feel at ease!"
The gloomy voice was silent for a moment before he said, "But no one in the entire Heavenly Tower has ever seen what the tiger talisman looks like, hasn't it?
Ran Qiu's eyebrows were even more worried, and he said softly: "The person surnamed Wei can't be guessed by common sense." β
"By the way, isn't it...... Aren't you worried that after Wei Jinglong gets out of the customs, all our efforts will come to naught?"
The gloomy voice replied, "You don't have to worry about this, everything has been arranged, and now your task is to get the scriptures at all costs."
Ran Qiu frowned slightly, his eyes were deep, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Two shifts will be resumed from next month.
