Chapter 969 The Lord is Not Skilled at Sedating People's Hearts 33
Ma Peng's pupils constricted, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and as he watched the approaching red ants, he exclaimed in terror, "I remember! I've seen them before! I saw them three years ago!"
A red ant paused on the side of Ma Pengyi's face.
"Um?"
Yu Sheng glanced at him, his expression cold, and said, "Do I need to push you a little further?"
Ma Pengyi immediately confessed with trepidation: "Three years ago, I went down the mountain on business and met this person."
He asked me about the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden Hua Chan. Seeing that he was from the border region and harbored murderous intent, I said I knew the Holy Maiden Hua Chan's whereabouts and was willing to take him with me to find her.
"Then……"
He swallowed hard, and more and more cold sweat poured from his forehead. "Then we went into the inn together, and I secretly drugged him and killed him while he was unconscious."
Yu Sheng listened quietly to the voice, which had trembled with fear, and suddenly asked, "Why?"
He did not hurt you.
Ma Pengyi's throat tightened, and he retorted, "I...I didn't want to either, but it's rumored that the people of the borderlands are skilled in using Gu poison, which is an evil and heretical practice, and everyone should kill them!"
"I'm just striking first. What if I say I don't know the whereabouts of Saintess Hua Chan, and he gets angry and uses a curse on me!"
"I am a disciple of a prestigious sect, and naturally I will abide by the sect's rules!"
At this point, Ma Pengyi seemed to have found a savior, "If I hadn't killed this person, I wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by my master, so the culprit should be the Kunlun Sect!"
Yu Sheng glanced at him coldly and said in a low voice, "So the danger you mentioned is all due to preconceived notions, and even more so due to prejudice against people from the border regions."
Ma Peng explained, "This is called 'You can never be too careful'..."
Some people are particularly adept at making excuses and covering up their mistakes when their lives are threatened.
Ma Peng always manages to find a plausible excuse for himself, making him appear upright and honest.
"The various sects and territories in the martial arts world have different stances. If you were in their shoes, you might make the same choice."
As Ma Pengyi spoke, he became more and more confident, and his fear lessened as a result.
He was not wrong; the other party was a person from the border region!
Yu Sheng's understanding of shamelessness was refreshed. He sneered, "According to you, even if I wiped out the entire martial arts world, it would only be for the sake of the survival of my territory?"
Perhaps the man's terrifying aura had subsided somewhat, or perhaps Ma Peng genuinely didn't think he had done anything wrong, but without hesitation he rebuked, "The incident hasn't even happened yet, how can you indiscriminately kill innocent people!"
It can be said to be both very high-sounding and hypocritical.
Ma Peng continued recklessly, "It's common knowledge that the people of the borderlands are vicious; how can they be compared to innocent people like us?"
Yu Sheng's eyes were so black they seemed to drip ink, yet his tone was unusually gentle as he said, "So, the lives of the common people in the borderlands are less valuable than those of the martial arts world?"
Ma Pengyi naturally thought so; a group of wicked and crooked people shouldn't be allowed to live in this world.
Yu Sheng's lips curled into a smile, and the next second, the red ant fluttered its tiny wings and flew onto Ma Pengyi's face.
Before he could utter a sound, a red ant crawled into his eye.
Blood and tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, then down his nostrils, lips, and ears.
Red ants burrowed into Ma Pengyi's brain through his eyes, slowly devouring its intricacies.
The brain then became aware of the eyeball's presence, causing it to explode instantly, resulting in a brutal and bloody scene.
The death was gruesome.
He didn't even have time to utter a single sound.
