Hearing Qi Chun Shan’s stern voice, the resident Immortal Master of Jade Peak City kneeled in fear, “Disciple and Feng Yu Cheng are just ordinary friends, I only helped him to look after his house in the city. I knew his wife was in it, but I knew nothing else.”
“Whether you’re ordinary friends or not, it’ll be clear when we return to the sect.” Qi Chun Shan took out the Spiritual Power Shackles from his Storage Bag and directly put them on his wrist.
At this moment, Gold Sword Zen Ren waved his hand, controlling Feng Yu Cheng in mid-air, and flew him straight over.
Feng Yu Cheng’s face was filled with terror, he quickly said, “Disciple pays respects to Gold Sword Zen Ren. Disciple confesses his guilt. I falsely claimed the credit for Elder Uncle Lin Yi’s killing of the Flower Thief and married a mortal woman as my concubine, Disciple is willing to accept the sect’s punishment.”
He had clearly seen the scene of Gold Sword Zen Ren executing the swordsmanship just now and couldn’t believe that Lin Yi had actually asked a Golden Core Real Person to help with such a trivial matter. Was he insane?
Now that the plan had failed and he had no chance of escaping, he could only play dumb and hope to receive the smallest punishment.
Gold Sword Zen Ren stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, completely ignoring him.
“Feng Yu Cheng, you truly know how to evade the important issues. Tell the truth honestly, and you can avoid the suffering of the Soul Search in the Law Enforcement Hall,” Qi Chun Shan said coldly. If it weren’t for Junior Brother Lin’s cautious words, they would have fought with a Golden Core Real Person of the Xuan Yin Sect, and even if they didn’t die, they would be severely injured.
“Hall Master Qi, I have already confessed. I only falsely claimed a credit and am willing to accept punishment. I don’t know what else I need to confess.” Feng Yu Cheng said with a puzzled face.
Qi Chun Shan sneered, “When you get to the Law Enforcement Hall, you’ll know what you need to confess.” Then, he took out another shackle and sealed off his Spiritual Power.
At that moment, Gold Sword Zen Ren spoke up, “Yun Feng, there’s another woman in the house, she’s just a bit mentally disturbed. You guys take her over.”
“Yes, Master.” Zhou Yun Feng and Lin Yi gave a salute and then headed towards the house.
Suddenly, Feng Yu Cheng’s voice came from the side, “Elder Uncle Lin Yi, I am really sorry, I falsely claimed your credit and married a concubine.”
He originally intended to kill Liu Qiao Ling, but before he could make his move, he was forcibly dragged out by Gold Sword Zen Ren.
“Oh, you don’t need to apologise, I will properly take care of you.” Lin Yi said lightly. Then, he left with Zhou Yun Feng and Li Yuan Qing towards the broken house where Feng Yu Cheng had emerged from.
The locals who had hidden in their homes due to the battle on the hilltop came out to see that the fight had ended. When they saw Lin Yi’s group descending from the sky, they knelt down in respect.
Upon reaching Feng Yu Cheng’s house, Zhou Yun Feng and Li Yuan Qing landed with Lin Yi behind them. Looking at the hole in the room, it was apparent that Feng Yu Cheng had built an underground chamber here.
Descending into the chamber, they smelled a foul stench and saw a horrific sight. A figure, neither human nor ghost-like, was chained to the limbs, littered with wounds.
Her legs seemed to have been broken and drooped lifelessly. Malnourished, her body had become excessively skinny.
Seeing this, Li Yuan Qing’s murderous aura intensified, and even the temperature around him dropped a few degrees.
A chill crossed Lin Yi’s face. Naturally, a woman targeted by a cultivator Flower Thief wouldn’t be an ordinary one. He had seen the innocent face of this Liu Qiao Ling when he was rescuing her.
But now, she had turned into a terrifying spectre. Feng Yu Cheng was not even as good as a beast.
“Ah, don’t hit me, don’t hit me, I won’t run anymore…” Sensing someone approaching, Liu Qiao Ling said in terror. Then, she suddenly started giggling, “Hehe, husband, do you think I am beautiful?”
Zhou Yun Feng let out a sigh. As a cultivator for over a hundred years, he had seen cruelties worse than this. The cultivation journey wasn’t just about personal growth, but also mental state.
Some people have unleashed their devilish side, committing more twisted deeds the more accomplished they are as cultivators.
With a flick of his finger, he released a streak of spiritual power that instantly caused Liu Qiao Ling to faint.
Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward, together with Zhou Yun Feng, and cut the chains off Liu Qiao Ling. They gently carried her out.
Due to the lack of sunlight from years of confinement, her skin carried a sickly pallor. Her broken and shrunken limbs, innumerable wounds all over her body, disheveled hair, had her resembling a wild human.
Zhou Yun Feng released a Spirit Boat. Together with Lin Yi, they gently placed Liu Qiao Ling in and covered her with a blanket.
Back in the sky, seeing Liu Qiao Ling’s exposed body inside the Spirit Boat, one could only imagine the kind of torment she had endured.
“Cough, the concubine was disobedient, so I taught her a lesson.” Feng Yu Cheng coughed out a response.
Just then, a green Flying Sword shot straight towards Feng Yu Cheng’s forehead, stopping only a mere inch away.
Seeing this, Feng Yu Cheng was so frightened that his face twisted and he even wet his pants.
