Arrest and bring to justice

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you." Xiao Ze said in a softer voice.

However, instead of letting down their guard, the children became even more frightened.

Xiao Ze followed the gaze of an obviously older child and found that she had been looking at Su Qingjun, with a look of fear in her eyes that was obviously greater than that of the others.

Hmm? Is there something about Su Qingjun that scares her?

Su Qingjun also noticed this, but the confusion on her face made Xiao Ze understand that he was also confused.

"Are you afraid of him?" Xiao Ze pointed at Su Qingjun and said.

The children didn't say anything, but it was obvious that after Xiao Ze said this, several more children recognized something and became even more frightened.

"Have you ever seen a bad guy wearing the same clothes as he is wearing now?" Xiao Ze asked again.

Sure enough, the children's eyes changed. They no longer looked at Su Qingjun, but at Xiao Ze. The fear in their eyes was heartbreaking.

"Don't be afraid, many people have this dress. This brother is not a bad person. He is here to help you."

Then, he pointed at the two people who were tied up nearby and said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have tied them up, right? We really are here to rescue you."

The older boy finally spoke, seemingly with great determination, "Are you really here to save us?"

The children around her looked at her and were about to cry, as if they had already foreseen her tragic end.

"Yes, someone discovered that you were missing and reported the matter to the Tianxuan Sect. I was assigned the task of rescuing you."

The older child finally began to believe it.

"We've found the exit. We'll rescue you first, and then capture those bad guys."

As he said this, he was about to lead the thirty or forty children out.

"Wait a minute." The oldest child said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Could it be that they still didn't believe him? This was a bit tricky.

"Besides us, there are other people here. Can you take them with you?"

What?! There are others. How heartless are these people to have kidnapped so many children!

"Of course, can you take us to them?"

"Well, let them wait here, I'll take you there."

"Sister." The little boy closest to her started crying, as if the little girl had gone to some dangerous place.

The little girl ignored him and took Xiao Ze and the other person to the garden.

There was a crystal clear lake in the middle of the garden. The little girl pointed and said, "They are all here."

"They are all in the lake?" Xiao Ze was shocked. Could these children still survive?

When I got closer, I realized that the lake was not a lake.

It is a magical tool that can transform into the shape of a lake.

The spell was cast to remove the magic weapon's illusion, revealing the full picture of the bottom of the pit.

Creepy.

There were dozens of corpses in the pit, and their faces showed the same expressions as the old beggar described.

"Those people deserve to be torn into pieces." Both of them looked pale.

"Do you know them all?" Su Qingjun asked, his lips trembling slightly.

"We were the first group of people abducted here. Now, I'm the only one left who came here with me."

The little girl now completely believed that the two men had really come to rescue them.

I see.

Bringing them to the lake was not only to let Xiao Ze and the others take their former friends out, but also to test whether Xiao Ze and the others were really the ones who came to save them.

If so, they would be saved; if not, she would be the only one to die.

Su Qingjun took another look at himself before speaking, his tone full of apology: "I'm sorry, we probably can't take them away this time. The resentment in this pit is extremely strong, and we need to invite monks to perform rituals to liberate them before we can bring them out."

"After the salvation, will they be able to be reborn into a good life?" asked the little girl.

"Of course." Su Qingjun answered firmly.

"Thank you." The little girl finally revealed a fragility that matched her age.

Return to the "canteen" and take the other children out through the teleportation formation.

Having not seen freedom for so long, these children couldn't help but hug their companions and cry.

Their already miserable life experiences, coupled with this experience, have cast a shadow over their lives that may never be removed.

After placing the children in a safe place, Xiao Ze and Su Qingjun returned to the palace again and brought out the four people who were tied up.

This is strong evidence.

When I returned to Chen's house with the witness, it was already dark.

The Chen Mansion had already prepared a banquet to reward the Tianxuan Sect monks who had been busy all day inspecting the barrier.

After the banquet began, Su Qingjun sent a message to every disciple of Tianxuan Sect, asking them to keep a close eye on Chen Zheng and not let him run away, but not to be too deliberate and let Chen Zheng find out too early.

Although these disciples were puzzled, since it was the order from the eldest brother, there must be a reason for it.

It was a scene where both the host and the guests were having a great time.

Xiao Ze walked in front of the crowd with the four people who were tied up tightly.

The Silencing and Stilling Spells have been lifted.

"Master Chen, do you know these people?"

Chen Zheng originally wanted to scold Xiao Ze for being so careless about the occasion and just barging in casually.

But when he looked up and saw the people brought up by Xiao Ze, his expression suddenly changed.

But he soon calmed down.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this? You brought a few strangers here to disturb the fun between me and the immortal masters!" The angry expression on his face was just right.

What great acting.

The others present looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Ze was going to do.

Seeing that Chen Zheng was angry, the servants of the Chen Mansion prepared to come up and pull Xiao Ze away.

"Senior Brother," Xiao Ze stretched out his voice and looked at Su Qingjun who was sitting in the front row with Chen Zheng: "See, I told you they wouldn't listen to me."

"Master Su?" Chen Zheng looked at Su Qingjun.

Xiao Ze's call of "senior brother" made him quickly realize Xiao Ze's identity.

"Master, what do you mean? I arranged food and accommodation for you with good intentions, but you sent people to my house to investigate me first?" He spoke righteously, and those who didn't know would think that Xiao Ze and his gang had wronged him greatly.

"Chen Zheng, we found a teleportation array at the foot of Cuishan Mountain, along with all the beggars who have disappeared from Taiping City in recent years." Su Qingjun suppressed her anger and pointed directly at Chen Zheng: "We also found you inside."

Su Qingjun would never lie, this is something all the disciples of Tianxuan Sect have always firmly believed.

Since Su Qingjun said that Chen Zheng did something bad, then he did something bad.

The disciples of Tianxuan Sect stood up one after another and surrounded Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng saw that no matter how he tried to explain, it would be useless and he wanted to run away immediately.

Will this make him run away?

Su Qingjun and Xiao Ze didn't even need to take action, the other disciples tied up this bad guy in the Qi Refining Stage in minutes.

"Who was the person who accompanied you when you went to the palace today?" Su Qingjun asked.

"So you don't know who he is?" Chen Zheng suddenly relaxed. "When he comes to save me, you'll know who he is."

"However," Chen Zheng suddenly laughed, the kindness on his face completely gone: "That will also be the day you die."

That mysterious man must be caught, but judging from Chen Zheng’s performance, the mysterious man’s strength must be unfathomable.

Su Qingjun reached behind his back and quietly sent a message back to the sect.

"Then we'll just wait and see whether it's our turn to die or yours." Su Qingjun was not affected by his threats at all.

"Why did you capture those beggars? And why did you kill the adult beggars and some of the children, and then save some to teach them to read and write?"

"I didn't kill those kids. They died because they couldn't bear it anymore." Chen Zheng didn't care about their deaths. He even felt that they had wasted a lot of his money.

"What about the adult beggars?"

"I didn't want to arrest those old beggars in the first place. It was Master Yuan who ordered them to be arrested. After that, they were handed over to him. You said that those people died, but it had nothing to do with me."

He really knows nothing about anything.

But is that mysterious man's surname Yuan? And is he likely to often wear the uniform of the Tianxuan Sect?

Could it be...

I haven't seen the person yet, so I can't make any conclusions.

Suppressing his suspicions, Xiao Ze continued to interrogate Chen Zheng: "Then why did all the dead people die in exactly the same way? Do you know how the child in the palace died?"

"Isn't it just that he was scared to death because he couldn't complete his homework?" Chen Zheng looked indifferent.

It seems that Taoist Yuan didn't tell Chen Zheng anything.

"Why not build a school in an open and honest way to help these beggars?" Su Qingjun asked.

If it has to be built in a deserted place, there must be a hidden reason.

"The money is mine, and I can build wherever I want."

Chen Zheng was no longer as approachable as before. Xiao Ze really wanted to kick him to death when he saw him.

A sword came straight towards everyone. Su Qingjun flew forward, summoned his sword, and knocked the sword away.

The servants of the Chen Mansion who were listening nearby scattered like birds and beasts in an instant and found places to hide.

The owner of the sword has not arrived yet, but an expected person has arrived.

"Senior Brother!" The protagonist really showed up in time to brush up on the key plot points.

But this time, the person following Jiang Xi was not Tu Sihua, but an old acquaintance - Liang Cheng.

Su Qingjun didn't have time to pay attention to them. A masked man had already appeared and everyone was on high alert.

The masked man’s target was very clear, it was Chen Zheng.

The disciples of Tianxuan Sect formed a circle and surrounded Chen Zheng tightly in the middle. If anyone wanted to rescue Chen Zheng, they had to step over their corpses.

Su Qingjun and Xiao Ze took the initiative to attack the masked man.

But the masked man had at least reached the Nascent Soul stage of perfection, and the two of them together were no match for him.

"Liang Cheng, come and help!" Xiao Ze shouted at Liang Cheng. It would be a waste to keep such a mid-stage Jindan here.

Liang Cheng had obviously just figured out the situation, but when he heard Xiao Ze calling him, he frowned and reluctantly joined the battle.

Although all the people combined still couldn't capture the masked man alive, they could at least prevent him from saving Chen Zheng.

The masked man became anxious and finally showed his murderous intent.

At the same time, a sentence suddenly appeared in Xiao Ze's mind: "Xiao Ze of Tianxuan Sect, the right protector orders you to help me rescue Chen Zheng!"
