Inside the Qingxin Temple, Taoist Master Qingyue walked briskly, conveying Taoist Master Qingyuan's orders to every place one by one.
After making sure he had informed everyone, he sneaked back to his room.
"Luo Li, I can't help you anymore."
"Your young city lord is actually a master at the Grandmaster level. The elders who came down from the Zhenwu Taoist Temple this time were completely unable to defeat him."
"The abbot is gathering everyone at the Qingxin Temple at the entrance. You should quickly sneak out through the side door while they are away."
Looking at Luo Li sitting in the room leisurely drinking tea, Taoist Qingyue suddenly became a little angry. He grabbed the other's teacup and slammed it on the table.
"Master Qingyue, you are planning to send me to my death."
"The area surrounding Qingxin Temple is now filled with black-armored soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion. Forget about letting me go through the side door, even if I were to go through the tunnel, I don't think I would be able to escape."
Hearing Taoist Qingyue's words, the leisurely Luo Li suddenly widened his eyes and stared at him fiercely.
"Don't look at me like that. If you escape through the side door later, you still have a chance of survival. If you are discovered by others in the temple, they will definitely tie you up and bring you before your young city lord."
"By then, both you and I will be finished."
Luo Li's fierce eyes made Taoist Qingyue feel uneasy.
But when he thought of the consequences of someone finding out that he was harboring Luo Li, he instantly calmed down.
"Can."
"However, Taoist Qingyue, don't forget that you accepted 500 spirit stones from me."
"Once I find out that I didn't escape because you provided the information, don't blame me for going all out with you."
After squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment, Luo Li finally nodded and agreed with Taoist Qingyue.
However, in order to prevent Taoist Qingyue from tripping him up in the middle of the journey, he kindly reminded Taoist Qingyue.
"Of course, I still have this bottom line."
Nodding to Luo Li without hesitation, Taoist Qingyue withdrew some of the little thoughts in his mind.
"Okay, I have to rush to the gate of the temple right now. You should hurry up and find a chance to leave."
After quietly walking to the door and observing for a while, Taoist Qingyue opened the door and asked Luo Li to find an opportunity to leave.
And he rushed to the entrance of the temple as fast as he could.
"Finally, we can start taking action."
As soon as Taoist Qingyue left the room, Luo Li took out a package from under the bed.
The package is not big, and judging from its appearance, it seems to be a book.
Observe with a clear mind and look at the entrance.
A group of Taoists stared at the black-armored soldiers behind An Chengyan in fear. The half-full bowstrings made them feel like they were on the brink of life and death at all times.
"Master Qingyuan, I am not interested in helping you interrogate."
"I will give you half a quarter of an hour. If you can't find the person who is harboring Luo Li within half a quarter of an hour, I will kill one person at random."
"Every half a quarter of an hour, I will kill one person until you find the person who is harboring Luo Li."
An Chengyan silently counted the number of Taoists outside the Qingxin Temple and felt relieved.
"Elder Mingxin, are we just going to watch?"
Beside the temple gate, Zhang Wuji clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
Obviously, An Chengyan's words just now made him want to take action.
"Don't worry, he won't kill anyone."
"If he wanted to kill someone, he could have done it long ago."
"He wants to use psychological pressure to make the person harboring Luo Li come out on his own initiative."
Mingxin said softly, gently reaching out and pressing Zhang Wuji's shoulder.
"What if the time comes and he really kills someone?"
Pushing away Elder Mingxin's hand on his shoulder, Zhang Wuji turned around and looked Mingxin in the eye. He wanted Elder Mingxin to give him a clear answer.
"You can arrest people, but you can't kill them."
Looking at Zhang Wuji's determined eyes, Mingxin sighed silently in his heart and said in a cold voice.
"It seems the time is almost up."
Turning his head to look at the ambergris in the black-armored soldier's hand that was about to burn to a quarter, An Chengyan murmured softly.
"You bunch of bastards, who among you is harboring Luo Li? Come out to this temple master right now."
"If you don't stand up now, do you want to kill everyone in Qingxin Temple?"
Although An Chengyan's murmur was soft, Taoist Qingyuan, who was always paying attention to him, knew what he said at the first moment.
Beside Taoist Qingyuan, Taoist Qingyue lowered his head tightly, struggling in his heart.
"Young City Lord, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Why do you have to make things difficult for a group of Taoist priests?"
Just as Taoist Qingyue was about to admit that he was harboring Luo Li, a voice that surprised him greatly came from inside the temple gate.
"Luo Li, it seems that this young master treats you well, right?"
Seeing Luo Li coming out of the gate of Qingxin Temple, An Chengyan immediately knew that the matter had been settled.
"The Young City Lord has indeed treated his subordinates well, but men die for money, and birds die for food."
"It's not that the subordinates' loyalty is not high enough, but that they give too much."
After clasping his fists towards An Chengyan, Luo Li took out a storage bag from his arms and began shaking it towards the ground.
“Crash!”
As Luo Li shook, a pile of dazzling spirit stones suddenly fell out of the storage bag.
Wow, this guy actually has so many spirit stones?
When Taoist Qingyue saw the large amount of spirit stones that Luo Li shook out, his first reaction was that he seemed to have less.
"Ten thousand spirit stones, what a generous sum."
Seeing Luo Li pouring the spirit stones on the ground, An Chengyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
These are ten thousand spirit stones. Fortunately, I can get them back later, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss this time.
"Young City Lord, you are the Young City Lord of Ning'an City. You have enough cultivation resources for you to squander."
"But I'm different. I'm just an ordinary black-armored soldier."
"Ten thousand spirit stones. Even if I don't eat or drink for my entire life, I won't be able to possess so many spirit stones."
Luo Li's eyes were red, and his face was full of resentment towards the unfairness of fate.
"Too much nonsense."
With a wave of his sword finger, An Chengyan threw out a fiery red sword energy, hitting Luo Li's eyebrows.
"Betrayal is betrayal. No matter what the reason is, he is not worth your help."
"Junior Brother Wuji, think carefully. If a disciple of the Zhenwu Taoist Temple betrayed the Zhenwu Taoist Temple for the sake of spirit stones and stole the Zhenwu Taoist Temple's secret manual, what would you do?"
Mingxin said coldly as he waved his hand to slap down Zhang Wuji's raised right hand.
"this......"
Upon hearing Mingxin's words, Zhang Wuji's body stiffened noticeably.
"But...he stood up for the people of Qingxin Temple."
After a moment's silence, Zhang Wuji said somewhat unwillingly.
Hearing Zhang Wuji's unwilling tone, Mingxin's lips curled up into a relieved smile.
But in the end, he still said the words that made Zhang Wuji silent again.
But wasn't it because of him that the people at Qingxin Temple were in life crisis?
