Chapter 614 Exposed! Shatuofo!

Is someone chasing us?

Everyone, look ahead. Is there no other way but to go forward?

Either fight your way out!

With only five hundred people, it's not entirely hopeless to win.

They would risk their lives to protect the girl's safety, even at the cost of their lives.

In an instant, a murderous aura emanated from everyone.

Li Qingluo said, "No one is allowed to act rashly!"

In an instant, she understood the intentions of the "Kill" group.

"Listen, I want all of you to live with me."

"The number of us who came will be the number of us who will leave."

"Anyone who dares to disobey will never be forgiven and will no longer be a member of my Li Qingluo faction!"

"Did you hear me!?"

The word "kill" sent a deep tremor through them.

Their Night Slayer Sect is nothing more than twenty-seven knives that kill the fastest.

It is the most formidable weapon of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

They were merely tools cultivated by the old Duke Pei in his attempt to avenge himself and overthrow the Duan family.

Originally, they had long since stopped considering themselves human beings.

However, since following the girl, they seemed to have gradually developed flesh and blood.

They can feel pain too.

They can laugh too.

They can eat delicacies from land and sea, and they can wear warm clothes and sleep well.

They can even marry and have children, living the life that normal people should have.

There are still people in this world who truly care about their lives!

The characters who were killing each looked at each other, and a light gradually appeared not only in their hearts but also in their eyes.

Especially Sha San, who exchanged a slight smile with Que'er.

"Yes, young lady!"

Everyone responded in unison, and even Li Yunchu and Qin Ling held each other's hands tightly.

Qin Ling: "Look at her, she's more conscientious than others in this respect."

Li Yunchu didn't speak, but moved closer to Qin Ling, because he was the only person in the world who still cared about her.

Back then, she and Li Qingluo made a deal: she wanted to put aside past grievances and save her two older brothers and their families.

Li Qingluo was clearly harmed by herself, but she still kept her promise and indeed saved the lives of her two brothers.

Although they all went to the frontier, they were still able to start everything anew.

But how do they treat themselves?

Before being sent to Mantuo City, Li Yunchu was the first to be sent to Rongle County.

She thought her two brothers would accept her and they would start a new life together, but instead they disliked her and treated her coldly.

Li Yunchu never expected that, in the end, Qin Ling was the only person in the world who could accept and tolerate her without any limits.

Li Yunchu originally wanted to fight back, but she was hurt completely again.

Disheartened, she was sent to Mantuo City by Madam Pei.

Working as an embroiderer in Mantuo City actually tempered my temperament quite a bit.

Now, Li Yunchu's feelings towards her stepmother, Madam Pei, and Li Qingluo are particularly complex.

They don't seem to be that bad after all...

"Wife, you better hold on tight to me for a bit. No matter what happens, we need to hide first! Understand?"

Qin Ling repeatedly told Li Yunchu, "But don't worry if you really can't escape. Li Qingluo won't abandon you."

"She was ruthless to her enemies, but she was always very protective of her own people."

Li Yunchu muttered to herself, "Are we even considered one of her own? Does she really not hate us anymore?"

Qin Ling: "Regardless of past grievances, the present is what matters. You must believe in your husband."

"Besides, you are her own aunt. Do you really think she would just stand by and watch you die?"

Li Yunchu neither confirmed nor denied this statement.

All the kinship within the Li family had long since completely collapsed.

Aside from the fact that their stepmother dotes on her granddaughter Li Qingluo, how could they possibly care about anyone else?

However, the fact that her stepmother did not completely drive these illegitimate children to their deaths made Li Yunchu clearly understand this kindness.

"Alright, we'll play it by ear."

As the couple whispered among themselves, Zhuiyu, carrying a sword, came up behind Li Qingluo and said, "Miss, make your decision."

"No matter what decision you make, your subordinates will follow you to the death."

Li Qingluo looked up into the pitch-black fog ahead, her face grim: "Cross the iron chain."

"This place is strange and eerie, everyone please watch your step."

"Let's go over there and see what this statue is up to!"

Although Liu Li knew some martial arts, he was not skilled enough to cross the iron chain.

So he, Qin Ling, and Li Yunchu, who were all unable to leave, were swept away by the word "kill".

Li Qingluo was protected by Zhuiyu and Shayi.

The sparrow has killed three.

Granny Zheng randomly picked one of the four to kill.

After a perilous journey, the group carefully traversed a not-too-short section of fog-shrouded iron chain and successfully reached the shore.

Looking directly at the shore, there is indeed a dark statue.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's pitch black.

Even when illuminated by firelight, the statue was indeed a dark mass, and its face was not clearly visible.

It doesn't look like a statue of a god; it looks more like... a piece of charred charcoal.

Sparrow rubbed her arms: "This statue looks kind of scary."

Liu Li knelt on the ground and bowed devoutly: "Don't talk nonsense! This is Shatuo Buddha!"

"It is the most revered god or Buddha by the people of Yingcheng."

"It is said that he is the relic of a living Buddha, and his body did not disappear even after being burned for three days and three nights."

"It was the Living Buddha's self-sacrifice that prevented the devastating sandstorm, which was unprecedented in thousands of years, from swallowing up the entire Eagle City."

"The people of Eagle King City are all the most devout followers of Shatuo Buddha."

As he spoke, Liu Li sincerely closed his eyes and began reciting Buddhist scriptures.

The others quickly looked around.

Apart from the wall behind the statue, there are cliffs on three sides.

They had no way forward.

Qin Ling, who had been staring at Liu Li, walked over and asked, "Liu Li, what are you up to all of a sudden?"

"He's acting strangely and mysteriously."

Li Qingluo also walked around Liu Li twice.

"So, what does this Shatuo Buddha need you to do?"

"Did you lure us, people from the Central Plains, here to sacrifice our bodies or our souls?"

Liu Li was startled.

He remained expressionless, not even opening his eyes: "I don't know what the young master is talking about."

“I am indeed a follower of Shatuo Buddha, because my wife’s family are, so I naturally followed suit.”

"I stumbled upon this place by chance today, and I never expected to see the true form of Shakya Buddha, so I am very excited."

"Young master, you still doubt me? I act entirely according to my conscience. In time, you will surely see my true heart."

Li Qingluo came up behind Liu Li, bent down and got close to his face: "Whether we can live to see the future or not, we'll have to wait until tonight to see."

Liu Li felt a cold sensation on his neck. He opened his eyes and looked down to find that Li Qingluo's short knife was already pressed against his neck.

Liu Li's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat.

But he remained completely calm.

Instead, he continued calmly, "What is the meaning of this, young master?"

Is there some misunderstanding?

Li Qingluo: "A misunderstanding?"

"You misunderstood that you and your family were putting on an act and deliberately lured us here, didn't you?"

"Or are those five hundred men outside just a smokescreen?"

"Or perhaps you think that the mist can bewitch us and make us lose our senses, or that some kind of ghostly thing that can make us lose our minds has not yet acted because the time has not yet come?"

Only then did the terror in Liu Li's eyes overflow like waves.

He fell to the ground in a panic, looking at Li Qingluo as if she were a ghost.

They seemed to disbelieve how she had figured all this out.

Li Qingluo wasn't in a hurry to kill him.

Suddenly she put away her knife and stood up. Remembering that she was pregnant, she moved a little to the side to be on the safe side.

Granny Zheng, who had been on edge, quickly stepped forward and pulled her aside.

"girl."

She held onto Li Qingluo tightly.

Li Qingluo let her be, and only after she had steadied herself did she call out, "Xuan Cang!"

For some reason, the sound couldn't penetrate.

There was no movement behind me for a long time.

Even the footsteps that had been following closely behind had completely disappeared.

A faint smile played on Liu Li's lips.

"Young Master must be too tired, that's why he misunderstood me."

"I will not take this to heart, and I will keep my promise to bring the young master and everyone to Loulan safely."

"Isn't it good for everyone to stay here for the time being?"

"They were safe and sound, and no one dared to chase after them anymore."

"Once tonight is over, those people will leave because they can't find us."

"Young Master, what do you say?"

Li Qingluo: "I said you're talking nonsense."

"Kill one, go."

With a single glance from Li Qingluo, Sha Yi immediately turned and flew back onto the iron chain.

Liu Li's face visibly darkened again.

However, he still seemed full of confidence, and even gave a disdainful sneer.

"You'll get him killed."

Li Qingluo: "Then you'll be buried with him!"

Fortunately, Kill One returned quickly.

Upon seeing Sha Yi appear, Liu Li was filled with shock and disbelief.

"No...this...how is this possible?"

"How could you possibly come back?"

Killer One: "Why can't I come back?"

"Miss, Young Master Xuan has arrived."

Sha Yi dodged aside, waiting for Xuan Cang and the other four Sha to fly ashore together.

Several other acquaintances also came ashore with them.

It was none other than Liu Li's wife, children, father-in-law, and mother-in-law!

The four of them were pinned to the ground, struggling and writhing in agony.

"My husband!"

"Father, save us—"

"Liu Li, please save us!"

The four of them shouted in panic and helplessness.

Upon seeing them, Liu Li could no longer hold back.

"Xilin—"

"son--"

"You, you let them go!"

"Come at me if you dare!"

"Young Master, that's not what you said!"

"You said you would entrust all the business in the Western Regions to me, and you also said that I would follow you to ensure your wealth and prosperity."

"Before the night was even over, you arrested all my family members. Is this how you show me kindness?"

Li Qingluo turned to look at him: "So, this is your loyalty?"

"Liu Li, I had already started to believe you."

"But you're too impatient."

"They were in such a hurry to bring us here that they were so eager to give themselves away."
