"Junior brother!" The remaining cultivator cried out in anguish upon seeing his junior brother's head severed from his body, and then fled.
However, just as he escaped, a flying sword blocked his way, and the sharp sword aura emanating from the blade chilled him to the bone.
The sharp, swift movement felt to the cultivator like the aura of death. The Flying Cloud Sword lying in front of him was like a death god standing before him, leaving him powerless.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan also flew to the cultivator's side and said with a smile, "Why are you leaving? Didn't you two just say that this place is a feng shui treasure land? Don't leave. Since it is a feng shui treasure land, I will grant your wish."
The cultivator looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and knew he couldn't defeat him. His magic weapon was destroyed, and since the opponent was probably a sword immortal, he would be even more difficult to deal with.
So, for the sake of his own life, the cultivator immediately surrendered and begged for mercy, saying, "Friend, it was our fellow disciples' fault tonight, and we offended you. Since you have already killed my junior brother, I think you should be satisfied now. I hope you will spare my life. I will be eternally grateful and will definitely repay you in the future."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the man and asked, "The road to the Yellow Springs is so lonely, aren't you going to keep your junior brother company?"
The man said, "There are many ghosts on the road to the underworld, my junior brother will not be alone."
"I have a question for you: Why did you want to obtain the Tan family's small cauldron? What is the purpose of this small cauldron? And how did you know that the Tan family possessed it?"
This question had been troubling Liu Xiaoyuan. Although he had obtained the Tan family's small cauldron, he didn't know what its purpose was.
However, judging from the fact that all these cultivators want the Tan family's small cauldron, it must be something extraordinary.
The cultivator looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked weakly, "Friend, if I answer your question, can you let me go?"
"Damn it! At a time like this, you still dare to negotiate with me? You're courting death." Liu Xiaoyuan said coldly, "Don't try to negotiate with me. If you don't talk, you'll die right now. You've seen what happened to your junior brother."
Upon seeing his junior brother, who had been decapitated, the cultivator quickly averted his gaze, his body trembling involuntarily.
"Actually, I'm not quite sure what the Tan family's small cauldron is for. My master told us to come out and retrieve it. But I've heard my master mention that the Tan family's small cauldron is extraordinary and should be a rare magic treasure," the other party said cautiously.
"Since it's a rare treasure, why didn't your master and the others come in person, but instead sent you?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked curiously.
It's like something very important; you definitely wouldn't trust someone else to handle it, so you'd have to do it yourself.
The cultivator said, "Master only said that it might be a rare magic treasure. They weren't sure. Besides, Master needs to cultivate and wouldn't let such a trivial matter interfere with his cultivation."
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately understood. No one dared to be certain whether the Tan family's small cauldron was truly valuable. Even those coveting it weren't sure if it was a treasure, hence their decision to send their disciples down the mountain to retrieve it. Even if the cauldron was just an ordinary one, it wouldn't be a loss of face.
"Then how did your master and the others know that the Tan family had the small cauldron?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
The cultivator shook his head and said, "I don't know. Our master didn't tell us about this, so we can't ask."
Another clueless guy. I couldn't get any useful information out of him at all. It's infuriating!
"Friend, I've said everything I should say, and even things I shouldn't have said. So, friend, can you spare my life?" the cultivator asked Liu Xiaoyuan with pleading eyes.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head in disbelief, and the cultivator asked, "Why? Why not?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Because I want to learn from Lei Feng, I can't let your junior brother be too lonely on the road to the underworld. So, I decided to let you go and keep him company."
"No!" the cultivator cried out, but Liu Xiaoyuan ignored him completely, severing the man's neck with a single sword stroke. The head fell to the ground, rolled once, and then stopped.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the player for killing two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, gaining 5000 experience points!" The system's voice rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's mind.
Five thousand experience points, that's a lot. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't expect to gain five thousand experience points from killing these two guys today. It seems that he should kill two more late-stage Qi Refining cultivators when he has time.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Liu Xiaoyuan is not the kind of heartless person who would kill a cultivator on the street or somewhere just to level up.
After dealing with the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan took out their storage bags. These two cultivators were also penniless; their storage bags contained only some spirit stones and nothing else.
After collecting the spirit stones from the two cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan cremated their bodies.
"Gentlemen, I'm a man of my word. Since you both say this is a place of auspicious feng shui, then I'll let you lie here in this auspicious place. You don't need to thank me; it's just that I'm a kind-hearted person." Liu Xiaoyuan said to himself as he looked at the raging fire.
After seeing that the two had been burned to ashes, Liu Xiaoyuan walked to the side of the road and drove their beat-up Santana back into the city.
Once we got to the city, we saw traffic police checking vehicles, presumably to check for drunk driving and overloading.
Liu Xiaoyuan parked the car on the side of the road as instructed by the traffic police, who then asked him to show his driver's license and vehicle registration.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't have either of those things. He left his driver's license at home and didn't carry it with him at all. As for the so-called vehicle registration certificate, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't have it either, since the car belonged to someone else.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Officer, I forgot to take this. Could you please make an exception? This car belongs to my friend."
Upon hearing this, the traffic police officer glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then at the car, and as if remembering something, immediately walked to the front of the car to check the license plate.
Then, the traffic police officer took out his walkie-talkie and called his colleague over. Soon, two traffic police officers arrived.
"What's going on? I just don't have a driver's license, is this really necessary?" Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself.
"Get off the bus quickly!" one of them said.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on? It's just that I drove my friend's car without a driver's license. A fine should be enough. What are you trying to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense. We suspect you're involved in a car theft. Please get out of the car and wait for the police to arrive so you can cooperate with our investigation!" the traffic police officer said.
