The voice was clear and cold, like the rain in late autumn, with a chill.
This voice was very recognizable, at least to Shen Qiqi. She knew who the owner of the voice was without even looking, even with her eyes closed.
Earlier at Aunt Wonton's house, when Xie Beiming learned that the Fifth Elder had dug a fire pit with great fanfare for her to jump into, he developed murderous intentions towards the Fifth Elder.
It was because Shen Qiqi said that the Fifth Elder was still useful that Xie Beiming did not take his life immediately.
Now that the dust has settled, the disguise on the Fifth Elder's face has been stripped off without a trace, revealing his hideous face. He has also fulfilled his mission of being a stepping stone for her, so Xie Beiming is going to deal with him personally.
As expected, Xie Beiming said in a cold voice, "I have already reserved his fate. I hope Sect Master Jiang will grant me your wish."
Once the person was handed over to Jiang Guiyuan, it only took a moment for him to die.
Such a death would be too easy for the Fifth Elder, and Xie Beiming disagreed.
Glancing at the Fifth Elder, whose face had turned purple as the color of liver due to being strangled by the throat, Xie Beiming curled his thin lips and smiled coldly.
The Fifth Elder just happened to catch a glimpse of that smile at this moment, and his heart immediately jumped. His subconscious told him that if he fell into Xie Beiming's hands, his fate would definitely be more miserable than if he fell into Jiang Guiyuan's hands!
The kid from the Xie family and that dead girl seemed to have reconciled. They had been inseparable these past few days. The kid from the Xie family also protected that dead girl a lot. Every time his eyes fell on that dead girl, they were as sweet as malt sugar just out of the hot pot.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between the two is definitely extraordinary.
Now that the fact that he secretly set a trap for that dead girl has been exposed, it would be strange if the boy from the Xie family would plead for him!
That kid must be planning some terrible tricks, who knows how he's going to torture him.
As soon as this realization came out, the Fifth Elder was suddenly terrified. He had just hoped that Jiang Guiyuan would show mercy and spare his life, but at this moment, he only hoped that Jiang Guiyuan would hit him harder, and it would be best if he could close his eyes forever right now.
His conspiracy with the evil has been exposed and he is doomed to die.
Since death is inevitable, he would of course hope to receive less, and preferably die without suffering and in a quick and painful way.
However, what you fear will come true. The fifth elder was secretly praying in his heart that Jiang Guiyuan would kill him quickly and give him a quick death, when the hand that was strangling his throat suddenly loosened.
The blocked breathing became smooth again, but the Fifth Elder did not feel relieved at all for escaping death.
On the contrary, the fifth elder wished he could strangle himself to death.
He thought so and did so, and was about to activate his spiritual power to self-destruct.
However, there were two powerful men standing on his left and right, so how could they give him the chance to self-destruct?
Before the Fifth Elder could mobilize his spiritual power, Xie Beiming and Jiang Guiyuan had already sensed his intention.
One of them snorted coldly, and the other narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The next moment, two major restrictions penetrated into the body of the fifth elder at the same time, one locked the fifth elder's body, and the other locked the fifth elder's dantian.
Now, the Fifth Elder couldn't even think about using his spiritual power to self-destruct. His entire body was as stiff as a wooden sculpture, and the only part of his body that could move was his pair of eyeballs.
Only then did Jiang Guiyuan ask Xie Beiming, "What are you going to do with him?"
"Throw it to the bottom of Ten Thousand Demons Cliff," Xie Beiming said calmly, his voice slow and steady. "I've heard there's a place at the bottom of Ten Thousand Demons Cliff where a soul-devouring monster lives. It eats not only souls but also flesh, though its appetite is rather small. It can only eat about a leg a day. It would probably take seven or eight days to devour a living person, flesh and soul."
"The most important thing is, I've heard that the Soul Devouring Monster has a voracious appetite and is very demanding about the food it eats. It only eats fresh, living creatures. Even if it can't finish the whole meal in a day, it won't let the prey die. It will eat while preserving its prey's life, forcing the prey to watch helplessly as its limbs, bones, flesh, blood, and marrow are devoured bit by bit."
As Xie Beiming spoke, he glanced coldly at the Fifth Elder: "I feel that the demon beast is very suitable for a villain like the Fifth Elder who schemes and plots behind the scenes and uses vicious means."
The meaning is very clear: I plan to give the fifth elder as food to the soul-devouring monster.
As the head of the Hundred Sects of Taoism, Jiang Guiyuan had naturally heard of things like soul-devouring monsters, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Beiming's behavior.
What surprised Jiang Guiyuan was that he didn't expect Xie Beiming to be so vicious and arrange such a cruel death for the Fifth Elder.
Those who colluded with evil spirits and harmed the people deserved to be cut into pieces. Therefore, as soon as Xie Beiming finished speaking, Jiang Guiyuan immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, as you say." Then he looked at someone in the crowd below, "Master Yao."
As soon as the words fell, a tall and burly figure jumped out from the crowd and flew straight over hundreds of steps.
Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared.
Shen Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise: It turned out that those standing in the crowd and witnessing the whole process were not only the Jinyang Jiang family, but also the Runan Yao family, the Lin'an Xie family, and the Langting Qiu family.
The four family heads are all gathered together!
When did all these people come here? She didn't even notice any of them just now!
Shen Qiqi was still in surprise when her hand was already held by Madam Xie.
When Madam Xie came over, she took her hand and said to her with a look of satisfaction, "Our Qiqi is really becoming more and more mature and stable."
After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qiqi with a smile, again and again. The more she looked, the more her smile grew, until it finally turned into an expression of pride.
