"Senior, what do you mean? We have called them back for you to destroy them as you requested. Now you want to abandon them?" Ye Jun frowned.
Ye Linglong bit her lips tightly and said nothing. She had actually been transferred from the Ye family headquarters to Muyang City to help a few days ago. Before that, she did not know that the Ye family had hired these cultivators to cause trouble in Ping'an Domain. Especially since she had just learned that those people had committed such heinous crimes in Ping'an Domain, she was even more indignant. Therefore, she did not consider the consequences and said such words in front of Li Yunxi.
After Li Yunxi examined them, he suddenly laughed and said to everyone, "Haha, don't be nervous. I, Li Yunxi, am also a person who keeps my promises. Since you have kept your promise, I will naturally not hold on to this matter anymore."
Although those people did evil in Ping'an Domain, they did not affect Lingxiao Sect. Li Yunxi knew that they only did so because Ping'an Domain was barely within the Lingxiao Sect's sphere of influence. Naturally, there was no need to investigate further.
Ye Jun and others heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. It would be too much of a loss if they did the job and were still held accountable by Li Yunxi.
"We'll set out tomorrow and go to your Ye family. You lead the way for me." Li Yunxi pointed at Ye Linglong and turned to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
"Farewell, senior!" Ye Jun and others said respectfully behind Li Yunxi, feeling relieved that they had finally sent this killer away. As for the Ye family, they were not worried at all. During this period, their ancestors had contacted several immortals who were willing to lend a hand. Although the Li family of Zixiao Sect flatly denied that Lingxiao Sect had anything to do with them, several other families in their sect were using this matter to make a fuss. They were all stuck in the quagmire, so how could they care about Lingxiao Sect?
Ye Feng was even more excited at this time. He finally got rid of Li Yunxi. If he continued to lead the way with her, even if he didn't die at the hands of Li Yunxi, he would most likely be beaten to death by the Ye family's people when he arrived at the Ye family. Thinking of this, he glanced at Ye Linglong and couldn't help but reveal a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
Ye Linglong, on the other hand, looked indifferent. After learning that the Ye family's base in Muyang City was an evil criminal den, she was actually happy to leave.
Recently, Li Yunxi used her spiritual sense to search for Feng Yue over a large area, and she was very careful and focused. She felt a little tired, so she went back to the inn and fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Li Yunxi opened his eyes, washed up, then walked out of the inn, ready to find Ye Linglong and go to Ye's house.
However, as soon as Li Yunxi went out, he saw Ye Linglong waiting outside the inn.
"Haha, you're here quite early." Li Yunxi said with a wry smile.
Ye Linglong cupped her hands and said to Li Yunxi, "Senior, the cultivator who escaped yesterday has also been escorted back. His name is Yuan Li. He returned to Muyang City three days ago, but he suddenly escaped yesterday. On the way, he was seen by several cultivators who were evacuating and reported to the deputy commander, who then found someone to intercept him. The deputy commander asked me to bring him here and let you handle it."
As he said this, he pointed to a cultivator at the peak of the Out-of-Body Stage who was tied up and thrown on the ground nearby.
Li Yunxi glanced at him calmly, then her expression became a little strange, and she asked, "What's going on with the woman next to him?"
Ye Linglong was not surprised by this. After all, the woman was just a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It would naturally make Li Yunxi suspicious if she was kidnapped together with the Out-of-Body Stage cultivator. So she explained truthfully, "This woman is his mistress. When we caught them, we happened to see them robbing a cargo ship together, so we brought them back together."
"Haha, not bad, not bad. You did a really good job this time." Li Yunxi laughed and was in a good mood.
"Feng Yue, I wonder if you still recognize me?" Li Yunxi came to the woman and looked at her with a smile on his face. This woman was Feng Yue, whom Li Yunxi had been looking for yesterday.
Feng Yue was horrified when she heard Li Yunxi's voice. She forced out a smile and said, "Senior, I...I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. How could I forget you?"
"I will never forget your life-saving grace?" Li Yunxi sneered, and then said: "Are you repaying me by confusing right and wrong? Saying that I am a murderer and robber?"
"Senior, I was wrong. I was bewildered for a moment. I didn't know you would come to Muyang City, let alone find Dehui Trading Company!" Feng Yue said.
"Haha, is it still my fault? Tell me, why did you do this? Tell me everything." Li Yunxi sneered. She had already sentenced Feng Yue to death in her heart, but out of curiosity, she decided to listen to what Feng Yue would say.
Seeing Feng Yue hesitate and his eyes flickering, Li Yunxi cut off Yuan Li's legs with a single stroke of his finger.
Feng Yue immediately became scared and explained the whole story.
It turned out that after Feng Yue was rescued by Li Yunxi that day, she drove the cargo boat and fled with her few surviving family members in fear. After all, they didn't know whether Li Yunxi was a match for those bandits.
It was a blessing that they escaped, but on the way back to Muyang City, Feng Yue had evil thoughts. Her husband had been killed, and her mother-in-law was an extremely conservative old woman. She had no children with her husband, and if she knew that she had been defiled by the robbers, she would definitely kick her out of the house.
Although the other women were also raped, they would not take the initiative to tell others about it, but after all, there were too many people and too many variables. She did not want to put her fate in the hands of others. Their communication stones had been confiscated when they were controlled by the robbers. Muyang City knew nothing about what happened to the cargo ship, so she wanted to kill them. After all, so many people had died on the cargo ship, so it was reasonable to kill a few more people, right? Then she would drive the cargo ship back to Muyang City alone, and with this merit, she would have no worries for the rest of her life.
However, her cultivation was too low, and the other female members were no weaker than her. Moreover, they had just experienced betrayal by the escort and were now very vigilant. How could it be so easy to get rid of them?
