835: Now increase the price, two arms

“Forget it! I'll give you a few more months! After you've dealt with things here, return to Zhongzhou Academy.”

This elder didn't pay too much attention to the matter; the most pressing concern was to bring the Grandmist Dao Body back to Zhongzhou Academy.

The Grandmist Dao Body, a legendary peerless Dao Body, possesses the potential of a Great Emperor. As long as Zhongzhou Academy nurtures her, she will surely be able to suppress all directions.

“Fellow Daoists, let’s go!”

The elder looked at the other three Venerables, preparing to leave.

“Wait!”

Just then, in the sky, a bloody light condensed, forming a crimson throne.

Xie Weilou sat lazily on the throne, a pot of wine in his hand. He looked at the four Venerables and said with a faint smile, “Four seniors, you've just killed an innocent young man, and you're already planning to leave?”

The old man from Zhongzhou Academy looked at Xie Weilou, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: “Xie Weilou, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

This Xie took a sip of fine wine: “How can it have nothing to do with me? This Xie came to Beiliang City, and Cui Xian led the way for him. I even had a meal at his house. This Xie is not a heartless person; he still remembers this favor.”

“Hmph! Then what do you want?”

The Venerable from the Crimson King's Mansion snorted coldly.

The Crimson King was a prince of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, and Cui Tao was his daughter.

He came here today to ensure that Cui Tao could successfully enter Zhongzhou Academy.

As for the future matter of the prince acknowledging his daughter, that would naturally have to proceed step by step!

A cold light flashed in Xie Weilou’s eyes: “Four seniors are all Venerables, with powerful strength, so it’s not easy to kill you! However, you killed someone, how can this matter be left unsettled? Each of you leaves an arm, and this matter can be temporarily resolved.”

“...”

Chu Jianshi and the other two stared wide-eyed. He was directly asking the four Venerables to leave an arm?

This person had such a big mouth!

“Presumptuous!”

The old man from the Crimson King's Mansion’s eyes sharpened, and the might of a Venerable erupted.

“So you're not planning to negotiate?”

Xie Weilou’s tone turned cold, and the ten thousand souls banner appeared in his hand. The King of Evil Spirits instantly rushed out.

“Sever both his arms!”

Xie Weilou said coldly.

“Roar!”

The King of Evil Spirits let out a roar, an evil saber condensed, and his figure moved, instantly flashing past the Venerable.

Pfft!

A gush of blood spurted out. Before the Venerable could react, both his arms had fallen off, and blood stained the ground.

“Ah...”

The Venerable let out a scream, his eyes still filled with panic.

This Evil Spirit was too fast; he couldn't react at all.

Moreover, the aura on this Evil Spirit was terrifying. If it wanted to kill him, he estimated he wouldn't be able to resist in the slightest.

Wang Tianming and the other three Venerables were also shocked by the scene before them. This Evil Spirit was actually so ferocious?

“Roar!”

The King of Evil Spirits let out a roar, its fierce might erupting, directly sealing off this entire heaven and earth.

Wang Tianming and the others' bodies trembled, feeling the threat of death. They were already Venerables, known as mighty figures in various regions, naturally possessing immense power and influence.

But at this moment, they felt an inexplicable insignificance. If this King of Evil Spirits were to strike, it could probably instantly kill them.

Xie Weilou looked at Wang Tianming and the other three with indifference: “The price has gone up now. Two arms for each person, otherwise, death!”

Crack!

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil saber in the King of Evil Spirits's hand vibrated, and the surrounding space cracked open.

Wang Tianming and the three sensed the ferocity of the King of Evil Spirits. They exchanged glances and communicated telepathically: “This Evil Spirit is powerful; we are not its match.”

Swoosh!

They briefly communicated, and without any hesitation, they directly severed their arms. For people like them, losing two arms was not a big deal.

Six arms fell to the ground, blood staining the earth.

Looking at the arms on the ground, they subconsciously reached for their storage rings.

Xie Weilou said indifferently: “You killed someone, aren't you going to compensate? Leave your storage rings!”

“You...”

The four old men's expressions were not very good.

Xie Weilou sneered: “Four seniors, you have immense backgrounds, and behind you are unfathomable peerless experts. This Xie naturally won't easily slaughter you, but... don't provoke This Xie too much, otherwise, This Xie doesn't mind letting you die in this Beiliang City.”

“We will remember this matter.”

The four Venerables took a deep breath. Being forced to such an extent by a junior, they felt their dignity was completely lost.

Xie Weilou said expressionlessly: “It’s fine to remember it. It’s also fine to come looking for trouble with This Xie later. As the saying goes, 'courtesy before force.' Not killing the four seniors today is to reserve a spot in the human emperor banner, ready to welcome the four seniors to take their places in the banner at any time.”

“If the four seniors can introduce your friends and family as well, This Xie also welcomes them at any time. A family should be together; that’s how it gets lively.”

“Roar!”

The King of Evil Spirits let out a roar, its aura surging wildly. The entire Beiliang City trembled.

“Go!”

The four said nothing more and immediately left with Cui Tao.

Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan quickly followed. What happened today made them incredibly disbelieving; no one had expected that the four Venerables would leave their arms behind.

What kind of ruthless person was this Xie Weilou?

This time, upon returning to Zhongzhou Academy, perhaps they could investigate further.

“...”

Xie Weilou didn't stop the group from taking Cui Tao away.

Blocking was meaningless. They were determined to have Cui Tao, and he couldn't stay in Beiliang City forever. He could block them once, but not always.

He extended his hand, and the King of Evil Spirits flew back into the ten thousand souls banner.

Xie Weilou put away the ten thousand souls banner, glanced at the eight arms below, stripped off four storage rings, and then put away the arms.

Not long after.

The Barbarian God Clan temporarily retreated, and the Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry returned to the City. This time, the damage was immense, and everyone was treating their wounds.

City.

A house.

Cui Xian lay on the bed, Uncle Wu stood by, looking at Cui Xian with a complex expression: “Cui Xian, boy, be born into a good family in your next life! Not to say rich and noble, but at least don’t get involved in the schemes of these people...”

Chu Jianshi entered the room and looked at Cui Xian on the bed.

“Great City Lord!”

Uncle Wu looked at Chu Jianshi, his eyes red.

Chu Jianshi stepped forward, conjured a bronze mirror, and investigated Cui Xian's condition, her pupils involuntarily contracting: “How could this be?”

“City Lord, what’s wrong?”

Uncle Wu asked.

Chu Jianshi's face was extremely pale: “The wine I had you give him contained a peerless wonder drug that could hide a trace of his faint residual soul, but why is even that trace of residual soul gone from his body?”

Uncle Wu was silent for a second, then said self-deprecatingly: “With four Venerables appearing, how could they leave him a glimmer of hope?”

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, as if he had forgotten something.

Xie Weilou entered the room with his hands behind his back. He looked at Cui Xian on the bed and said indifferently: “His corpse, hand it over to me for now.”

Saying that, without giving the two a chance to speak further, he directly put Cui Xian's corpse into the emperor talisman and turned to leave...
