"Did I say I'd let you two go?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
The two were stunned. Wasn't that what you meant? You meant to let us go. You can't go back on your word like that.
"Senior, didn't you say you would be merciful as long as we confess?" one of the early-stage Qi Refining cultivators asked, mustering his courage.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I did say that. What's wrong with that? Is it not allowed?"
The other party quickly shook his head and said he dared not, “Senior, you said you were merciful, which means you want to let us go. So please spare our lives, senior. We will always remember your great kindness.”
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "There's no need for people to remember my great kindness. I don't need that. I'm afraid of being remembered as a great kindness by a dead person!"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the two men knew that Liu Xiaoyuan had no intention of giving them a way out and was going to kill them.
"We've said everything we needed to say, how can you be so untrustworthy?" the other party retorted angrily.
Liu Xiaoyuan spread his hands and said, "I never said I would spare your lives. You misunderstood. You can't blame me for that."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the two were stunned. Indeed, Liu Xiaoyuan had never said that he would spare their lives; they had misunderstood the meaning behind his words.
"Senior, spare our lives! Senior, please spare our lives..." The two immediately knelt down and begged Liu Xiaoyuan for mercy, hoping that Liu Xiaoyuan would spare their lives.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I'm the kind of person who won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I'll retaliate. You two were trying to kill me just now, dealing with my enemies. What do you think I should do?"
"You can't kill us, you can't kill us! We are members of the Tianyang Sect. If you kill us, you will be making an enemy of the entire Tianyang Sect." These two guys actually used their sect to threaten Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know what kind of cultivation sect Tianyang Sect was, but he knew that if he didn't deal with these two guys now, it would be like letting tigers return to the mountains, which would become a problem later.
By killing these two here, the Tianyang Sect would never even know that two of their disciples had been killed by Liu Xiaoyuan. Besides, these two were only early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, practically just stepping into the threshold of cultivation. Such people would be at the very bottom of the Tianyang Sect, and the sect would likely not pay them any attention.
If the Tianyang Sect treats even two cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refining as treasures, then the Tianyang Sect is nothing but utter garbage.
"You're trying to scare me by bringing up your sects, I'm terrified." After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan stopped talking and directly killed the two Qi Refining stage cultivators.
These two cultivators, both at the early stage of Qi Refining, were completely powerless against Liu Xiaoyuan. Their throats were slit by the flying sword, and they died instantly.
After killing the two early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan searched their bodies and found that they were really poor, without even a storage bag. He found two low-grade spirit stones on their bodies.
After finding nothing of value on the two men, Liu Xiaoyuan disposed of their bodies to cover his tracks, and then vanished without a trace.
The construction site those two guys mentioned was a bit far from here. Liu Xiaoyuan flew through the air, but after searching everywhere, he couldn't find the construction site the two guys were talking about, because Liu Xiaoyuan was unfamiliar with Shanghai.
Finally, the miserable Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to go to the road and flag down a taxi.
"Driver, to Feiyang construction site." Liu Xiaoyuan said to the taxi driver as soon as he got in the car.
Upon hearing this, the taxi driver was taken aback and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, saying, "Young man, are you going to the Feiyang construction site?"
Seeing the taxi driver's expression, Liu Xiaoyuan was puzzled and asked, "Sir, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"
The taxi driver asked, "Young man, don't you know about the haunted Feiyang construction site?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan was taken aback. The two Qi Refining cultivators had said that there were magical treasures at the Feiyang construction site, but how did it become a ghost story when it came to the taxi driver?
"Sir, what exactly is going on?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked the taxi driver.
Liu Xiaoyuan really wanted to know what was going on at this construction site? Why was it haunted?
The taxi driver glanced back at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Young man, are you really unaware of this?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I really don't know about this. Please tell me, Master. I just arrived here and have some things to take care of."
The taxi driver immediately launched into his long-winded explanation, saying, "Young man, I heard about this from someone else. They said that something very strange was dug up at this construction site. After it was dug up, something bad happened at the site. I heard that a worker even died. Anyway, everyone is spreading rumors that it's the thing that was dug up that's causing trouble."
Upon hearing the taxi driver's words, Liu Xiaoyuan wondered if the worker's death was truly caused by the thing that was dug up.
If it really is, then what exactly is this thing? Liu Xiaoyuan was very eager to see this strange object.
"Young man, I advise you not to go so late at night. If you must go, wait until dawn. Demons and monsters are afraid of sunlight," the taxi driver kindly advised.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Master, I don't believe in this. You drive."
Upon hearing this, the taxi driver said, "Young man, it's better to believe it's true than not. It's better to believe it."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It's okay, Master. I just don't believe in this kind of superstition, and I'm also a bold person. Just drive me there."
The taxi driver shook his head upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words. "These young people nowadays just won't listen to advice."
"Young man, are you really going?" the taxi driver asked again.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Yes, driver, please drive me there. I'll pay whatever it costs."
The taxi driver said, "It's not about the price. Since you want to go, fine, I'll take you there. But let me make this clear beforehand, I won't take you to the entrance of the construction site. I'll drop you off at the roadside, and you can walk in yourself."
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, this is not a problem, as long as he is taken to the vicinity of this Feiyang construction site.
"No problem, driver, let's go." Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said.
