"Do you know what an unforgivable thing your son has done?" Zhang Bin demanded nacingly.
"No matter what he has done, it’s none of your business. Let him go right now, or I will make you regret ever being born. Even your family will pay for your actions with their lives," Zhu Yuanwu’s voice was icy cold, his killing intent bursting forth so fiercely that even the air seed to freeze.
It was indeed terrifying to behold.
Zhang Bin was secretly apprehensive and didn’t dare lower his guard. Any carelessness could provoke a dreadful attack, landing him in an inescapable, dire situation.
He was well aware of how powerful soone at the Liquid Phase Middle Stage could be. At the very least, their speed could reach 120 ters per second, and their strength could reach 16 newtons.
But now, a rage blazed within Zhang Bin’s heart. How could these Liquid State cultivators be so insolent as to threaten his family? Did they think themselves invincible? Thinking this, he said coldly, "It seems you’ve grown tired of living. Since you dare to threaten , I have no choice but to kill your son first and then settle matters of life and death with you."
Having said that, he made a motion as if he was going to thrust the sword into Zhu Qing’s throat.
"No, no, no, don’t! Dad, save !" Zhu Qing shrieked in utter terror. He did not want to die.
"Stop!" Zhu Yuanwu yelled. "Tell , what will it take for you to let my son go?"
He finally succumbed, forced to lower his arrogant head.
"What will it take? Why don’t you first listen to the unforgivable things your son has committed?" Zhang Bin spoke coldly and then ordered, "Zhu Qing, if you want to live, confess all the evil deeds you’ve done. If a single sentence differs from what you said earlier, I will kill you. Let tell you, no matter how powerful your father is, he can’t protect you today."
Zhu Qing felt the grip of death closing in, nearly suffocating him. He was so terrified his soul almost left his body, and he didn’t dare to delay any further. Like spilling beans, he poured out all of his misdeeds one by one.
The faces of the Qingyun Sect disciples turned ugly, and so even hung their heads in sha.
This was especially true for Elder Zhuo, who wished he could bury his head in his crotch. He knew of Zhu Qing’s vile acts and had reported them to the Sect Leader, Zhu Yuanwu. However, Zhu Yuanwu had not taken it seriously. He rely warned Zhu Qing once to be more careful, not to cause any deaths, and to stay off the police’s radar.
But now, the inevitable had happened—a powerful Cultivator had co knocking at their door.
"Zhu Yuanwu, did you hear him clearly? Tell , how do you plan to handle this?" Zhang Bin stared intensely at Zhu Yuanwu and asked coldly.
Zhu Yuanwu’s face turned livid. "You’ve already beaten my son. What more do you want?"
"Dad, he crushed my privates! I’m a cripple now, no longer a man," Zhu Qing quickly added, his face a mask of despair and venom.
"Very well, very well. You actually dared to cripple my son... What audacity..." A murderous light shot from Zhu Yuanwu’s eyes, and the killing intent he radiated grew even more terrifying.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Bin laughed aloud. "So this is how you raise your son. No wonder he turned out like this, defiling so many won. In my opinion, your son deserves to die, but you deserve it even more."
"You..." Zhu Yuanwu was fuming, but he surprisingly cald down and said apologetically, "I’m sorry. It’s my failure in disciplining my son. I will certainly punish him severely, ground him for ten years, and forbid him from leaving the house. In addition, I will compensate you. I’ll offer two 500-year-old Ginseng plants. They are the best Spiritual dicines our Qingyun Sect possesses. What do you think?"
How did this old bastard suddenly beco so reasonable? Zhang Bin was filled with doubt, but he was still pleased. The man was willing to compensate him with such valuable Spiritual dicine. With it, he could imdiately concoct another batch of True Essence Pills. After all, the most important ingredient was Ginseng over five hundred years old. For the other main ingredients, Lingzhi and Polygonum Multiflorum, those with over four hundred years of dicinal power would suffice. Then he could rapidly accumulate True Qi and advance directly to the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
"My god, how can our Sect Leader be so generous? He’s giving away the sect’s best Spiritual dicines as compensation?"
All the Qingyun Sect disciples stared in disbelief. Even Zhu Qing’s face was a picture of incredulity.
Seeing that Zhang Bin seed to be agreeing, Liu Ruoi whispered in his ear, "Brother-in-law, don’t trust him. He just wants to save his son right now. The mont you release his son, he’ll turn on you and deny everything. He will surely attack you imdiately. Can you withstand it?"
She possessed a miraculous Mind-Reading Ability. Although she couldn’t read Zhu Yuanwu’s mind because he was too powerful, she still instinctively felt that he was lying.
Zhang Bin imdiately understood. "I can accept this compensation," he said coldly. "Then bring the Ginseng over."
"No. You must release my son first," Zhu Yuanwu refused without hesitation.
Just as I thought, he’s trying to trick . A scornful look appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. "Zhu Yuanwu, I’m not afraid of you going back on your word. Let tell you, I am Zhang Bin from the Taiqing Sect."
In truth, he didn’t want to fight. Once he made a move, he could only use his Flying Sword once, which ant he would have to kill his opponent. If he failed, he would be the one to be killed. A cultivator in the Liquid Phase Middle Stage was simply too powerful, too terrifying.
"What? You’re from the Taiqing Sect? You’re that business-savvy Zhang Bin from the Taiqing Sect? Your Senior Brother Zhang Kai recently used a Flying Sword to kill Han Tie, the Sect Leader of the Iron Sword Sect?" Shock and wariness surfaced on Zhu Yuanwu’s face.
"Indeed," Zhang Bin said proudly. "If you go back on your word and attack , your fate is easy to foresee."
"Don’t worry, I always keep my word. Spiritual dicine is valuable, but it can’t compare to a human life," Zhu Yuanwu said with a sincere expression. "Just release my son, and I will imdiately present the Spiritual dicine."
"Brother-in-law, you still need to be cautious," Liu Ruoi whispered again in Zhang Bin’s ear.
Zhang Bin nodded. He considered himself a man who had already died once. How could he possibly be careless?
He looked at Zhu Yuanwu intently and said, "Zhu Yuanwu, I hope you aren’t joking with your own life. Life is precious, and cultivating to your level wasn’t easy."
Zhu Yuanwu nodded solemnly.
Zhang Bin then casually threw Zhu Qing at Zhu Yuanwu’s feet.
Zhu Yuanwu took a step forward, shielding Zhu Qing behind him. A fierce smile spread across his face as he suddenly drew a gleaming cleaving knife and said arrogantly, "Brat, stretch out your neck so it’s easier for to chop off your head!"
