Chapter 942: Chapter 943: A Step Back Each
“You’re forcing us.”
“It’s you forcing !” Lin Yifan retorted angrily.
Arguing with them here was already giving An Qi face; otherwise, he would have already killed them all.
“Can’t we just admit our mistake? To err is human, who doesn’t make mistakes?” The two female disciples at the Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak still refused to give up and continued to plead for Yao Xiaoling.
“If admitting mistakes were useful, what would be the point of having power?” Lin Yifan scoffed, genuinely finding their words ridiculous and absurd.
“Then just kill us all!” The two female disciples at the Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak raised their heads, looking as if they were ready to face death fearlessly.
“Fine! I’ll grant you wishful ‘martyrs’!”
After speaking, Lin Yifan was about to take action, but he was stopped by the two fearless female disciples.
“Wait! Mr. Lin, can’t you spare my elder sister?”
Saying they’re not afraid of death was untrue; their previous bravado was mainly to test if Lin Yifan truly had the guts and resolve to kill them.
As it turned out, as they expected, Lin Yifan was indeed prepared to kill them.
“You need to understand that it’s her who won’t let go, not the other way around,” Lin Yifan replied impatiently.
“Can I not apologize to you on her behalf?”
“I’ve said, if apologies were useful, what’s the point of having power? Stop stalling here, or I’ll kill you all.” Lin Yifan’s patience had reached its limit, and he truly wanted to slash these two disciples from the Cinnabar Palace to death with one sword.
“Mr. Lin, I beg you!” The two female disciples fell to their knees with a thud, pleading with Lin Yifan tearfully.
This was the first ti in their lives they had begged a foreigner for rcy, and it was truly humiliating.
“Yes! Mr. Lin, I beg you! Although Sister Yao has her faults, she did not intend to kill you. Please give her a chance to change.”
At this mont, the other Cinnabar Palace female disciples who were not participating in the fight ca over to join in the pleas for rcy; they really couldn’t stand by and watch soone die.
“Mr. Lin, considering I helped you search for the millennium Blood Ginseng, spare my sister, please.” Lin Yanping also ca over to plead.
Li Dafeng and Li Xiaofeng, seeing this, reluctantly knelt down and pleaded with Lin Yifan, “That’s right! Brother Lin, considering we helped you search for the millennium Blood Ginseng, please spare our sister!”
Everyone was pleading, and it would be unseemly for them not to join; so, unwillingly, they were indeed forced to do so.
Lin Yanping, Li Dafeng, Li Xiaofeng, three old friends ca to plead, leaving Lin Yifan at a loss.
Months ago, they contributed when he went to Feizhou to seek the millennium Blood Ginseng. Without them, he would have died countless tis; hence, he owed Li Dafeng and the others a debt of gratitude.
However, Li Dafeng and the others were sent by Xuji True Master to assist him, not that he asked them to, so there should be no talk of owing any gratitude.
That being said, An Qi’s life was saved by Xuji True Master; without the Xuji True Master maintaining her life in the hospital, An Qi wouldn’t have lasted long, regardless of her intentions at that ti.
The Cinnabar Palace belonged to Xuji True Master, and these disciples could potentially be disciples of Xuji True Master. Wouldn’t it be excessive to rashly harbor murderous intent?
However, it’s them seeking trouble with him; how could they bla him? Is he supposed to let them walk all over him?
Lin Yifan was unwilling, extrely unwilling; he had to make Yao Xiaoling pay so price at least.
So he responded: “I won’t kill her, but I will cripple her dantian!”
“Mr. Lin, how is that different from killing her?” the disciples from Cinnabar Palace inquired.
To a cultivator, the dantian is almost like one’s life; without it, living is aningless.
“I’ve spoken my piece, do as you will.”
This was the biggest concession he could make; if not for his blue Immortal Ring, which defied the heavens, he may have been the one losing his life today; hence, he wouldn’t easily let Yao Xiaoling off.
As the saying goes, showing rcy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself; there’s no need to save such a poisonous snake.
“Mr. Lin, we’ll give you all the treasures, only in exchange for sparing our sister, would that be okay?” Cinnabar Palace disciples inquired curiously.
“No, I want her to live a life worse than death.” Lin Yifan firmly replied.
“Mr. Lin, have you considered the Junior Palace Master’s safety? Crippling Sister Yao’s dantian will an those high-realm sisters in the palace won’t let the Junior Palace Master pass, potentially endangering her life. What then?” Cinnabar Palace disciples inquired.
“Are you threatening ?” Lin Yifan flared up, angered that this group dared to wield An Qi’s life to intimidate him, making them even more unremissible.
“That’s the reality. Sister Yao has significant influence inside the palace, and a wide network; crippling her dantian would certainly anger many; by then, the Junior Palace Master’s life might truly be in danger.” Cinnabar Palace disciples firmly responded.
They seed to sense Lin Yifan’s apprehension and urgency; perhaps this was the only way to save Sister Yao.
However, they guessed wrong; Lin Yifan wasn’t worried about An Qi’s safety at all because he knew An Qi was of great importance to Xuji True Master, who would ensure no harm ca to An Qi. Otherwise, Xuji True Master wouldn’t have appointed soone without any Martial Arts or Mana like An Qi as Junior Palace Master.
“Since you say so, let tell you clearly, if those sisters in your palace dare to do so, wait for your Master to collect their corpses then!”
Lin Yifan truly hit the nail on the head; he wasn’t wrong. Xuji True Master would rather give up the entire Cinnabar Palace than An Qi; as for Xuji True Master, An Qi is the future deity, the heir to fulfill her dreams and glory.
The tactic insinuating An Qi’s danger failed, leaving them montarily directionless.
“I’ll give you one more chance; if there’s any more obstruction, I’ll comnce a killing spree.”
Lin Yifan had enough, and wouldn’t give any more chances to the disciples of Cinnabar Palace.
After a mont’s hesitation, those pleading for Yao Xiaoling from the Cinnabar Palace gradually left.
They had done what they could; it was Yao Xiaoling who didn’t want to live, they couldn’t be blad.
Seeing fellow disciples depart one after another, the two Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak female disciples who weren’t wounded sighed and also left.
Ultimately, they couldn’t bring themselves to sacrifice for Yao Xiaoling because it wasn’t worth it. Yao Xiaoling wasn’t their mother; why should they sacrifice for her?
Seeing the disciples from Cinnabar Palace being so sensible, Lin Yifan also released his anger, frankly saying, “You’re lucky you didn’t force to use my trump card; don’t think you have a secret weapon, and I don’t!”
