Cold, biting, stiff...
This is how Gao Zhenxiong feels now.
He didn't dare to move. The people who were clearly challenging the Gao family's dignity were right in front of him. He only needed to extend his palm lightly and use the power of the Bone Refining Realm to take them all down.
But this distance is an insurmountable chasm.
Gao Zhenxiong couldn't get over it, and he would never be able to get over it in his entire life.
Just like he had not been able to catch up with that man since he started practicing martial arts.
He was a genius, but that man was more talented than him, and in the end, he was unrivaled among the younger generation in Heiyun Town.
Looking at the man holding the sword, Gao Zhenxiong spoke with a somewhat difficult tone.
"You are still alive..."
The person who came was able to stop him at this critical moment and prevent him from going any further, which showed that his cultivation must be far superior to his.
Bai Ruoyue and Gao Dingtian, who had just fought, stopped at this moment and looked over here together.
Gao Dingtian's expression was a little stiff, while Bai Ruoyue looked surprised.
"father!"
“Master!”
The daytime that had disappeared for about half a month appeared beside Zhou Qing and others.
He held a sword in his hand and placed it on Gao Zhenxiong's hand, looking at him with indifference in his eyes.
"Gao Zhenxiong, can't I call you by your name?"
Gao Zhenxiong gritted his teeth and put his other hand behind his back, revealing the veins on his hand.
"able……"
Gao Zhenxiong answered, seemingly using up all his strength.
"So, what price do you want my disciple to pay?"
"It's not my Gao family's fault that they came to cause trouble." Gao Zhenxiong wanted to retract his hand, but the biting cold made him dare not move.
"The reputation of my Gao family has been affected."
"Since my disciple has come to your house, it is your Gao family's fault."
Bai Tian said without hesitation.
"During the day, don't go too far..."
Gao Zhenxiong is very aggrieved. Is there still law? Is there still law?
You are too overbearing! Putting aside the facts, your disciples came to your door, is there nothing wrong with that? "Dad, it's their fault. They hired someone to kill my junior brother!" Bai Ruoyue shouted: "We have evidence!"
Bai Tian nodded slightly, and then looked up at the sky again.
"Manager Lu, please show yourself."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Where?
Lu Qingmo suddenly appeared in the empty sky, but judging from his situation, it seemed that his soul had left his body and was flying in the air.
Before it was said during the day, no one had noticed that there was a person in the sky.
However, although Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue did not see anyone, they knew it.
She has always been there.
Since Lu Qingmo asked Zhou Qing and the others to come here to seek justice, there is no way he would just leave them alone.
Zhou Qing also keenly discovered that Lu Qingmo's face seemed a little pale.
After Lu Qingmo appeared, he didn't even look at Bai Tian, but just looked at Gao Zhenxiong.
"Master Gao just suspected that I fabricated false evidence and colluded with Taibai Martial Arts School to frame the Gao family, right?"
"Gao didn't mean that. He was just afraid that Lu Duguan was deceived."
"Oh." Lu Qingmo nodded, "So what you mean is that I am ignorant and have poor vision."
“…”
Gao Zhenxiong was angry and helpless at this moment. Could you please be reasonable?
Putting aside the facts again, isn't it stupid for you to favor this handsome guy? If Zhou Qing knew Gao Zhenxiong's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud.
Le, you might as well go and reason with my master and Aunt Mo...
At this time, there were a few more people on the roofs around.
The heads of other families and martial arts schools were all present.
With such a big commotion here, it's impossible for them to be unaware of it, they just didn't want to intervene before.
Now that he appeared in the daytime and was extremely powerful, things were heading in another direction, so naturally they came to take a look.
Big shots also like to watch the fun.
"Since everyone is here, let's see if I have framed the Gao family."
Lu Qingmo took out a soul, which was the Gao family's hidden man.
Then Lu Qingmo was seen chanting a spell and sticking a yellow talisman on the soul.
A faint light came on, and a memory scene of the soul actually emerged in the air.
Zhou Qing was surprised that the restrictions on the soul of Gao's hidden man were actually broken by Lu Qingmo? !
Didn't she say she couldn't do anything about it? Thinking that Lu Qingmo's expression was a little off, Zhou Qing was thoughtful.
In the picture, a young man in splendid clothes said to the Gao family's hidden man:
"The seven disciples of Taibai Martial Arts School are extremely talented, rarely seen in the world."
"A person like this shouldn't exist in Black Cloud Town. The impact is too great. Go find two people to get rid of him!"
"Second Young Master, which level of warrior are you looking for to attack?"
"Viscera Realm!"
"In this case, the cost is not small."
"Two weapons and a medium-level internal organs refining method. Go ahead and do it. In Black Cloud Town, we are not the only ones who don't want to see Zhou Qing continue to live."
Then the scene changed, and it was the meeting between Gao family's hidden man and Chen Bo, and they were discussing the siege and killing of Zhou Qing.
There was silence, and the Gao family members were speechless.
Lu Qingmo glanced at Gao Zhenxiong and said, "It just so happens that Patriarch Yun is also here. If Patriarch Gao doesn't believe me, you can ask Patriarch Yun if I have faked these images."
"All of them are true." The seemingly elegant head of the Yun family answered immediately without making excuses at this time.
Ask again during the day, "Who is at fault?"
"The Gao family is wrong."
Bai Tian put away the sword and said, "The laws of the Great Qi prohibit warriors from fighting privately, and hiring someone to kill is even more prohibited."
"Zhou Qing is from the Department of Ghosts and Gods." Lu Qingmo added.
Murdering personnel from the Department of Ghosts and Gods is the most serious crime among all serious crimes.
To put it in the most serious way, this can be regarded as the crime of treason.
Zhou Qing killed the deputy governor of Qinghua County with the support of someone from the state religion, or on the premise that the other party was colluding with the Tianmu religion. What about the Gao family?
Bai Tian nodded, "He has committed several crimes in a row, Gao Zhenxiong, you are the head of the family, you should know what the consequences are."
"My son was just confused for a moment..."
"If I kill you now, can I say afterwards that it was just a momentary act of confusion?" Bai Tian interrupted Gao Zhenxiong.
"If you say yes, I won't pursue this matter any further."
Gao Zhenxiong didn't dare to say it, for he was afraid that Bai Tian would chop him to pieces if he said it.
He couldn't beat Bai Tian, otherwise he wouldn't have been suppressed to this point after Bai Tian showed up.
If Zhou Qing wasn't such a monster, if he hadn't been back for so long, if it weren't for all the preparations...
Then they will not attack the people from Taibai Martial Arts School.
But who would have thought that even with so many prerequisites, this operation was still exposed.
Of course, the most important thing about the current situation is that the two people at the Zang-Fu realm were unable to kill Zhou Qing even though they worked together.
This was something Gao Zhenxiong couldn't figure out. Two against one, suppressing a great realm and being killed in return, was this a joke? If Zhou Qing was killed, he should be dealing with all the survivors now, how could it have developed to this point.
"Where is Gao Hong?" Gao Zhenxiong asked in a low voice.
Someone timidly answered, "The second young master is drinking with friends outside."
"Let him get back here!"
"No need. I have already asked people from Dingwu Division to look for him. He is outside now." Lu Qingmo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, two warriors from the Dingwu Division came in, escorting a pale and feminine young man.
Gao Zhenxiong's second son is Gao Hong.
Gao Zhenxiong has four sons. The eldest son Gao Yuan and the second son Gao Hong are both in the internal organs realm. The third son is a cultivator, but he is practicing in the county town.
The fourth son is Gao Lu, who was once defeated by Zhou Qing with one sword and has the worst talent.
"Dad, save me, save me!" Gao Hong started shouting as soon as he came in. By now, he knew what had happened.
"You rebellious son, who gave you the courage to do such a thing?" Gao Zhenxiong scolded, "Why don't you apologize to them now!"
Bai Tian nodded, "Just deal with it as it should be dealt with. There's no need to apologize."
A gloomy look flashed across Gao Zhenxiong's eyes. "During the day, do you really have to do this?"
"This is my own son."
"That's my disciple too!" Bai Tian said, "It was your Gao family that broke the rules first!"
"According to the laws of Da Qi, vendettas between warriors can be handled by the government or resolved by themselves." Lu Qingmo looked at Zhou Qing.
"What do you want?"
"Dad, please save me..."
"Who can save you after you do something like this?" Gao Zhenxiong glared at the two sons and gave them a look.
Gao Hong understood and shouted immediately.
"I want to settle my grudge with Zhou Qing on my own!"
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Your internal organs will hit your tendons and veins. If you don't die, you will be seriously injured! "You don't have the final say!" Bai Ruoyue snorted coldly.
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's fulfill his wish."
Everyone was shocked and confused. The tendons and veins were against the internal organs. Isn't this a death sentence?
"Master, can you seal his cultivation?"
Are you stupid? Do you think I will fight you fairly in this situation? You don't understand the situation.
Everyone saw that Zhou Qing’s eyes changed and thought, boy, you are really good at it.
Gao Hong's expression became serious, "This is cheating!"
Bai Tian did as Zhou Qing said. Zhou Qing didn't say much. He just kicked a stone under his feet and pierced Gao Hong's forehead. He fell to the ground immediately, without any breath.
Okay, cool, I’ll let you hire someone to kill me.
No matter what choice Zhou Qing makes, he has already made a mortal enemy with the Gao family. It would be better for him to do it himself, at least he will feel good about it.
Gao Zhenxiong looked at Lu Qingmo, "Manager Lu, this is against the rules!"
"Yes." Lu Qingmo said seriously, staring at Gao Zhenxiong during the day.
Reason, the strong, the referee, are all on my side! Against the rules?
joke!
"Since Lu Duguan approves, then let's do it this way." Gao Dingtian said with a cold face: "Master Bai, is Lu Duguan satisfied?"
"Within today, send ten spiritual plants and one martial weapon to Taibai Martial Arts School."
"Okay, apology is what you should do." Gao Dingtian agreed without hesitation.
Gao Zhenxiong didn't say anything else and left the matter to Gao Dingtian.
At this time, Bai Ruoyue whispered a few words to Bai Tian.
Bai Tian looked at Long Tianchong, and Long Tianchong suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Brother Long owes my disciple three spiritual plants and three hundred-refined weapons. In my opinion, it would be better to give him six spiritual plants and a martial weapon for good luck."
Long Tianchong's eyelids jumped. What kind of auspiciousness was this?
But Long Tianchong gritted his teeth and agreed.
"OK!"
Bai Tian said to Lu Qingmo again: "Lu will take care of this trouble."
Lu Qingmo just nodded distantly, then looked at Zhou Qing, "Come find me when you're done."
Then it flew away without paying any more attention to the day.
"Congratulations, Brother Bai, you're back. I'll come to visit you again in the future." The head of the Yun family bowed to Bai Tian and flew away.
A soul master like him travels by soul on a daily basis.
Compared to their souls, the physical body is too fragile. If anything unexpected happens, it will be a great loss.
The others also said goodbye to Bai Tian and left.
Bai Tian took one last look at Gao Zhenxiong and turned away.
It was not until Taibai and his group had walked a long way away that a roar and a low, resentful growl were heard from the Gao family.
On the way back, Bai Tian's face returned to its usual calmness. He asked Zhou Qing, "Zhou Qing, do you blame me for not taking action against Gao Zhenxiong?"
"Master vented my anger and avenged me, how could I blame him?" Zhou Qing shook his head.
"The Gao family's hidden man's memory is only related to Gao Hong. This is the only evidence we have. Killing Gao Hong is the best outcome."
This is the fact on the surface. It was Gao Hong who hired the killer, not anyone else.
It is unrealistic to use this to deal with the entire Gao family.
As for torturing Gao Hong...
This is impossible. At this point, Gao Hong has no choice but to die. He must die. Most people in the Gao family want him to die.
The Gao family is definitely responsible, but the main culprit is dead, so the most they have to do is pay compensation.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Zhou Qing has a strong background and can suppress the Gao family.
If the strength of both sides were evenly matched today, as long as Gao Zhenxiong protected him, Gao Hong would never die, and the Gao family would at most have to pay compensation.
We are not weaker than the other party, and the other party is not dead, why should we pay with our lives? Who will reason with you?
Of course, the most likely result of an evenly matched opponent is that everyone starts to break the bottom line and attack each other, making the situation increasingly corrupt.
If Zhou Qing's side was at a disadvantage today, there would be no compensation at all, and in the end it would probably be Zhou Qing and his people who would have to compensate the Gao family.
Just now during the day they kept talking about the law and what to do according to the law, but the law is actually just a piece of paper in front of this privileged class.
It's just an excuse to whitewash the behavior of both sides.
This is not a world of law, but of strength and background! Zhou Qing was very glad that he had joined Taibai Martial Arts School, so he would not be suppressed by others.
But I have to say, using power to overwhelm others... is really cool.
It can be imagined that if Zhou Qing had not become Taibai's disciple in the beginning, but chose to practice alone, then once Zhou Qing's reputation spread, the whole town would probably be his enemy.
If you think about what will happen to a cultivator with no background but an abnormally fast cultivation speed, you can come up with 108 possible scenarios.
"It's good that you understand." Bai Tian nodded, "But after this incident, the relationship between Taibai and the Gao family has become completely antagonistic."
"It's fine in Black Cloud Town in the future, but if you meet someone from the Gao family outside, you must be careful."
“People from Tenglong Martial Arts School, be careful too. I’m afraid it’s not just the Gao family that wants to attack you this time.”
Bai Tian paused, and a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.
"I am very pleased that you helped each other when you encountered problems, did not complain, did not give up, and chose to face it together even when you knew it was dangerous."
"Your friendship makes me realize that I was not wrong about you. I am proud of you."
"Joining Taibai Martial Arts School is one of the luckiest things in my life." Zhou Qing said with a smile.
The atmosphere and people here made him feel very comfortable.
Between harmony and friendship and intrigue, Zhou Qing prefers the former.
"That's true." Bai Ruoyue nodded in agreement, "After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have a senior sister like me."
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "You make sense, everything you say is right."
Bai Tian smiled, then looked at Zhou Qing again, and couldn't help asking, "So, Zhou Qing, your cultivation...what's going on?"
This was the question he wanted to ask when he saw Zhou Qing for the first time when he came back during the day, but at that time he had to maintain the image of a domineering gym leader, so it was difficult to open his mouth.
At that time, Tian Tian even thought that he was dazzled.
What the hell is the tendon and vein realm?
Didn’t my little disciple just embark on the path of martial arts?
Hey, I’ve been away for half a month, guess what happened when I came back?
Before I even got any instruction, the little disciple took off on his own.
This is unreasonable and not in the right way!
"Is there anything wrong with my cultivation? The tendons and veins stage is normal, right? Is there something wrong with my cultivation?"
“…Nothing went wrong.”
But is this really normal?
"How do you practice?"
"Just practice normally. Eat, practice martial arts, go to bed early and get up early every day. Then you will break through after practicing for a while. It's quite easy."
"Master Sister and the others are watching."
The honest man Zhou Qing is very frank.
To be honest, there was something wrong with the way Bai Ruoyue looked at Zhou Qing; it was filled with desire.
The desire to eat Zhou Qing.
Some readers still don't understand, so let me explain again. One of my chapters is 4,000 words, which is equivalent to two chapters of 2,000 words for others. Although the number of chapters is different, the number of updated words is the same, I just didn't divide it into two chapters.
The rule of Qidian is to update 4,000 words every day during the period when a new book is released. Except for a very small number of extremely good authors, all other authors do this. I am the same. I never update less than a chapter during the period when a new book is released. I even add more chapters occasionally. Just look at my total word count and you will know that I have updated more than most authors during the period when a new book is released.
I was scolded for doing this and I don’t know what to say.
