Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 114: How Dare He? (4000 words, two chapters in one)

In the three days after Xu Ming was attacked, he had been resting in the City Lord's Mansion.

After the death of the Li family's young master, the Li family remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

However, according to Xu Pangda's investigation, the Li family had been sorting out the account books of Baihe County's industry in the past two days, and it was estimated that they were preparing to move.

Also in these three days, Baihe County lost another twenty young boys and girls, ten boys and ten girls respectively.

These twenty young boys and girls disappeared as if out of thin air, without a trace!

Xu Ming suspected that it might be the work of the Black Lotus Sect.

During these two or three days of recuperation, Xu Ming also asked Fang Ling a lot about the Black Lotus Sect.

Currently, the entire world is divided into four major regions: the Western Regions, the Southern Border, the Northern Wilderness, and the Eastern Continent.

The Western Regions have four major demonic sects and three major temples.

And the Black Lotus Sect is one of the four major demonic sects in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are different from the Eastern Continent.

The Western Regions also have human dynasties, but all the human dynasties in the Western Regions are vassals of demonic sects or Buddhist temples.

The enthronement of human emperors needs to be approved by the demonic sects and Buddhist temples behind them.

Even the demonic sects and Buddhist temples can abolish the emperor of a dynasty at any time.

It can be said that in the Western Regions, secular dynasties are completely places for demonic sects and Buddhist temples to provide for themselves.

Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect can be regarded as one of the seven most powerful "countries" in the Western Regions.

No wonder the Western Regions dared to attack him.

The Western Regions are really not afraid of being retaliated against by the Wu Kingdom.

Even if he died, the Wu Kingdom would be very angry, but it would be unrealistic to go on a long expedition to the Western Regions.

Not to mention how tired the Wu Kingdom's army would be when they arrived in the Western Regions.

Even if both sides were at their peak, the Black Lotus Sect would probably not be afraid of a direct conflict with the Wu Kingdom.

And this made Xu Ming even more puzzled.

Why would such a large demonic sect kill him for no reason?

Apart from having killed dozens of Black Lotus Sect disciples, he didn't seem to have any grudges, right?

If someone asked the Black Lotus Sect to attack him, how high would this person's status be?

Otherwise, how could such a big sect like the Black Lotus Sect give the other party this face?

Can't figure it out.

Xu Ming didn't think about it anymore.

Let's solve the current matter first.

Three days later, Xu Ming had recovered almost completely. Except for a small black palm print on his chest, the fist that had hammered his chest had also faded in color.

Xu Ming's condition had returned to its peak.

Xu Ming didn't know whether this black palm print would have any adverse effects on him, but as far as he was concerned, he was in good condition, and Xu Ming felt that there should be no problems, but some superficial side effects brought about by that palm.

[You killed a late-stage Sea Gazing Realm cultivator - Li Hui, Blood Qi +20, Spiritual Power Concentration +10, Sword Qi +10, Fear Heart Talisman]

[Fear Heart Talisman: Draw the talisman with blood to cast it, which can make the opponent feel fear and reduce the opponent's fighting spirit.]

After killing Li Hui, Xu Ming also received some attribute rewards.

The Fear Heart Talisman is not a talisman paper, but a method of drawing the Fear Heart Talisman.

Just as a ray of light flashed through Xu Ming's mind, Xu Ming learned it.

Xu Ming secretly tried it on the big white goose in the yard.

The little white goose, who was originally sleeping, suddenly woke up in a dream, looked left and right, shivered, and then hugged its head with its white wings, like a child who "can't see ghosts as long as I get into the quilt."

Later, the little white goose felt that it was still very scared, so the little white goose kept following Xu Ming, no matter how Xu Ming tried to drive it away.

Even at night, this Heavenly Profound Goose directly got into Xu Ming's quilt to sleep.

Early the next morning, after twenty-four hours, the Heavenly Profound Goose suddenly recovered and returned to its "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm the greatest goose" appearance.

Xu Ming felt that this Fear Heart Talisman seemed a little useless.

"I'm going out today to deal with some things, so don't follow me," Xu Ming said to the little white goose.

"Goose, goose, goose! (You brat, you're going to leave me behind again!)" The Heavenly Profound Goose Little White Goose crossed its wings and looked very unhappy.

These days in Baihe County, this brat leaves himself here from time to time, and then he goes out by himself.

He's just a lonely goose.

"It's been a bit busy these days," Xu Ming smiled, "It's coming soon, it should be these few days, we're leaving Baihe County, and I'll take you to see the outside world and open your eyes to see the world."

"Goose? (Has the matter in Baihe County been resolved?)" Little White Goose tilted its head.

"Yes," Xu Ming nodded, "It will be resolved soon."

Xu Ming stood up and walked out of the house. A voice came from behind Xu Ming: "Stay in the county government obediently, don't run around."

"Goose."

Looking at Xu Ming's leaving back, the Heavenly Profound Goose squatted on the ground, looking a little lost.

It really wanted to go out and play with Xu Ming, but it also knew that Xu Ming and Xu Pangda, these two brothers, had been very busy these days, and even if it wanted to help, it didn't know how to help.

"Goose."

The Heavenly Profound Goose raised its head and looked at the sky, and the memories of playing with Xu Ming when it was a child involuntarily appeared in its eyes.

Xu Ming was so small at that time, but now he has grown so big.

After humans grow up, they have more troubles.

If I transform into a human form, can I help him better? But when will I be able to transform?

Leaving the county government office.

Xu Ming did not go directly to the residences of the four wealthy families, Sun, Huang, Li, and Xiao, but went directly to the largest brothel in Baihe County - Fengyu Pavilion.

"Oh, what a handsome young master."

"Young master, come and play."

"Young master, why don't I accompany you?"

As soon as Xu Ming walked into Fengyu Pavilion, several scantily clad women surrounded Xu Ming, their big white rabbits touching Xu Ming's arms.

Now Xu Ming has grown up. Although he can't be said to be as beautiful as Pan An, he is definitely considered a handsome man.

"Oh, young master, you look unfamiliar," the madam of Fengyu Pavilion twisted and walked out, "I wonder what kind of woman the young master likes? We have them all in Fengyu Pavilion."

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "I am a good friend of Young Master Sun, and I am here to find Young Master Sun Zhuang."

"A good friend of Young Master Sun, here, here, I will take you there right away."

The madam took Xu Ming upstairs and came to a room.

From inside the door, there were moans of women and the creaking sound of the bed shaking. From time to time, you could also hear the sound of palms patting buttocks.

"That... Young Master Sun seems to be a little inconvenient. Why don't you go have a drink first, young master? Wait a moment?" the madam asked.

Xu Ming smiled: "It's okay, I'll just wait here. Madam, you can go and be busy first."

"Okay, young master." The madam didn't say anything. If people are willing to wait, let them wait.

It's just that this young master is listening outside, won't he feel very angry?

After the madam went downstairs, Xu Ming directly kicked open the door.

In the room, Sun Zhuang was so frightened that his whole body shivered.

"Who are you?! What do you want to do?" Sun Zhuang quickly pulled up his pants.

The woman lying on the bed had a bit of coquettishness in her tone, as if she was very unsatisfied.

After all, this Young Master Sun ended in less than ten breaths.

Speaking of which, who is this young master? Could it be Young Master Sun's enemy?

But he looks so handsome.

Xu Ming closed the door and didn't even look at the scantily clad woman lying on the bed: "Greetings, Young Master Sun. I want to borrow something from Young Master Sun."

"What is it?" Sun Zhuang frowned.

After regaining his composure, Sun Zhuang decided to beat the other party to death and feed them to the dogs later. How dare he spoil this young master's mood!

"I want to borrow Young Master Sun's head for a while," Xu Ming said calmly.

"What? Borrow my head?" Sun Zhuang was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly, "Borrow my head? What a big tone? Do you know who I am?!"

As soon as Sun Zhuang's words fell, a bolt of lightning struck Xu Ming in an instant.

Xu Ming shattered it with one punch.

When Xu Ming punched again, he had already arrived in front of him.

"Wait-"

As soon as Sun Zhuang uttered a word, a peach wood sword slashed across his neck, and blood splattered, spilling on the bed and on the brothel woman.

"Ahhhhh! ! !"

After the brothel woman reacted, she kept making piercing screams.

Some people who heard the screams looked upstairs, wondering who was playing so exciting.

Just when everyone was looking at the door where the screams came from, the door opened, and Xu Ming came out carrying a head that was still dripping with blood.

Everyone thought they were seeing things, but when they rubbed their eyes and looked again, they realized that they were not mistaken. The man was really carrying a head in his hand.

"Ah!"

"Murder!"

"Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities immediately!"

In an instant, the entire brothel was in chaos.

Xu Ming walked down the stairs like nothing had happened, carrying Sun Zhuang's head out the door and walking on the street.

Immediately afterwards, the people on the street who saw Xu Ming carrying a head were also in an uproar.

"This seems to be the head of Young Master Sun of the Sun family?"

"Ah? He killed Young Master Sun?"

"How dare he?"

"Isn't Young Master Sun a celestial being? Is this man even more powerful than Young Master Sun?"

Many people scrambled away, while some bolder individuals, after calming their nerves, noticed that the man wasn't on a killing spree. Instead, they curiously watched, recognizing the head as that of Sun Zhuang.

Xu Ming walked towards the Sun mansion step by step.

Many people, eager for excitement, followed along.

Among them, quite a few had already taken shortcuts to rush to the Sun mansion and report the situation.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Ming arrived in front of the Sun mansion.

With Xu Ming's arrival, a large crowd gathered in front of the Sun mansion, all unafraid of trouble and eager to watch the spectacle.

"Master Sun, it's terrible! Young Master, Young Master, he..."

The Sun mansion's steward, having just been informed that the young master had been killed, hurried over to report to his master.

"What's wrong with Zhuang'er?"

Inside the main hall, Master Sun was leisurely enjoying tea, appearing very calm.

What could possibly happen to his son?

His son was a direct disciple of the Thunder Pattern Sect, a cultivator in the late stage of the Cave Realm. It might be different elsewhere, but in Baihe County, he could definitely walk sideways.

"Master!" The steward looked like he was about to cry. "Young Master, his head has been chopped off..."

"What?!" Master Sun, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it out directly, losing his previous composure. "What did you just say? What happened to my son?"

"Master, someone just told me that they saw someone on the street carrying Young Master's..."

"Master!"

Before the steward could finish the word "head," a servant stumbled into the hall.

"Master, disaster! Someone is carrying the Young Master's head!"

"What?!" Master Sun suddenly stood up, then felt a wave of dizziness and abruptly sat back down in his chair.

"Go see, go see..." Master Sun forced himself to stand up.

"There's no need for Master Sun to personally welcome me." A man's voice came from outside the door, and along with the voice, a head was thrown in.

Sun Zhuang's head rolled onto the ground, stopping right in front of Master Sun, facing him directly.

"Son! My son!" Master Sun wailed. "Your Excellency, what wrong did my Zhuang'er do that you would inflict such a deadly blow? Is there no justice left in the world?!"

"Master Sun, don't worry. You'll be joining your son soon. Then you can discuss justice together."

Xu Ming took out a piece of white paper from his chest.

"Sun Feng of Baihe County, because his son is a direct disciple of the Thunder Pattern Sect, uses the power of the Thunder Pattern Sect to bully men and women in Baihe County, committing all kinds of evil. He seized five acres of good land from the Wang family in the East District and forced the woman Changhua into prostitution. Because Lin Fei's son offended Sun Zhuang, Sun Zhuang beat him to death."

Xu Ming recited a total of sixty-three crimes committed by Sun Feng and his son Sun Zhuang.

These were just the ones Xu Ming and Xu Pangda had investigated in recent days; the actual number was likely higher.

"Do you have anything to say about these?" Xu Ming put away the paper and looked at Sun Feng.

"Slander! This is definitely slander! Xu Ming, what evidence do you have?!" What Xu Ming said was naturally true, but did he have any proof?

"Evidence?"

Xu Ming held the Peach Blossom Sword and stepped forward.

"You! What do you want to do?!"

Master Sun retreated repeatedly, but eventually backed into a corner, with nowhere to go.

Xu Ming calmly looked at him: "When I killed your son, did I bother with evidence?"

As the words fell, Sun Quan's pupils instantly dilated. The next moment, his head fell to the side.

Xu Ming turned his head and looked at the Sun mansion's steward: "You are Sun Shen, the Sun mansion's steward, correct?"

"Your Excellency, spare me! Your Excellency, spare me!" The Sun steward knelt in front of Xu Ming, kowtowing repeatedly.

"You have committed many evils; I really can't spare you at all." Xu Ming swung his sword again, and another head fell to the ground.

Xu Ming stayed in the Sun mansion for a full half an hour.

Xu Ming found a maid and, according to the names recorded on the white paper, had her identify them one by one. Xu Ming killed them one by one in the Sun mansion.

By the time Xu Ming came out, the Peach Blossom Sword had turned a bloody red.
