Chapter 750 Accountability in Yancheng
By the time Baishui Xin and the others received the news, several days had passed. In fact, the Yuntai Sect knew that Sang Yue was from Yancheng the day after she escaped.
Immediately send a disciple to inform City Lord Yan that he hopes to help round up the pharmacist Asang who is cursed by the divine punishment. Yancheng is not an ownerless pheasant city. It is a branch of the Yanwangfu clan and does not accept any instructions from outside sects.
Facing the city that has a relationship with Mr. Wang, no matter what happens, you can only follow the secular official procedures. Afraid of their favoritism, Yuntai Sect also gathered representatives from several sects and city lords to go together.
The stakes are too high to be negligent.
Yancheng cooperated with everyone's suggestions to monitor the three people in Zishangou. Whether it was Tang Xingzhu in the patrol camp, or Bai Shuixin and Lu Qingzi who were building technological transportation tools in the store, there were several monks secretly watching them.
Once they see or eavesdrop on their contact with Sang Yue, they immediately track the other party's location secretly. But they waited and waited. After nearly ten days, they could no longer hold back and called the three of them to the city lord's mansion.
First, City Lord Yan told the truth. When they learned that Asang had been hit by some divine curse and would definitely die, the three of them suddenly had red eyes.
I learned from the Yuntai Sect that she had escaped. Now the informed sect and city lords from various places sent representatives to put pressure on them, hoping that the three of them would call Asang back. Or find a way to find her hiding place to avoid harming the nearby people.
"Why did she run away?" Among the three, Bai Shuixin was the first to regain his composure and asked the Yuntai Sect people.
"Of course he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no responsibility." An elder representative of the Yuntai Sect held his head high and said with a look of arrogance and disdain.
Seeing his appearance, and then looking at the indifferent expressions of those around him, Baishui Xin's heart dropped, but his face became calmer:
"She is in Lanshui Stand up when the town is in danger. If this is called being greedy for life and afraid of death, you are indeed What are the belated disciples of the sect who dare to go out only when they think there is no danger outside?"
Of course Yancheng will not just listen to the one-sided words of the Yuntai Sect. When they come to the door, I also quietly sent people to Lanshui Town to conduct open and covert investigations, and found out a lot of information.
Before calling the three people to the City Lord's Mansion, someone had informed them of the whole incident.
"Yes!" Lu Qingzi suddenly came back to his senses and asked angrily with red eyes, "You still have the nerve to say that others are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you don't even dare to go out!"
"Ah! Lu, calm down." Tang Xingzhu comforted Lu Qingzi, and then stared at Yuntai Sect and others. People asked, "When she was under the divine curse, did you save her?"
The people of Yuntai Sect were very impatient by these questions. If this was not Yan City, why would they surrender? Standing here and talking nonsense to these short-sighted low-level cultivators? Look, none of the three people has the overall situation in mind:
"Everyone with some knowledge knows that the curse is terrible, there is no cure, and there is no way to cure it. If you don't know, wait until this harm is eliminated , I will find out after asking the capable people in Yancheng."
The meaning behind his words is full of contempt.
"I'm asking you, have you ever rescued me?" Seeing the attitudes of these people, Tang Xingzhu already knew the result, so he gritted his teeth and asked. Thinking of the situation of his friend at that time, the emotions that had finally been relieved boiled up again, and his eyes turned red.
I don’t know whether it was disdain or guilt, but the Yuntai Sect elder turned a deaf ear to this question. A disciple next to him calmly answered instead:
“My little friend is unaware of the scene at that time. It was a mess, some were poisoned, some were cursed. No matter which one, they died on the spot. There was no time to save them and there was no need to save them... because they were all dead, and none of us expected anyone to be alive."
"Have you rescued anyone who was alive?" Tang Xingzhu asked persistently.
“Only God can save someone who has been cursed by God! Why do you ask us?” The Yuntai Sect elder became impatient and looked directly at City Lord Yan, “City Lord Yan, when will this farce end? The stakes are high..."
"How big?" Bai Shuixin sneered, "Since you will die after being cursed by God, you don't even want to save him. Then the people here today will die sooner or later, so why are you nervous? What qualifications do you have to take other people's lives in exchange for your own life? Your dog’s life is life, but Asang’s life is not life?”
“A bunch of greedy dogs deserve to die!” Lu Qingzi gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes. Are you a heartless and unrighteous person worthy of being promoted to immortality? The demons think you are incompetent, and you will be defeated by the demons!”
“How outrageous!” The Yuntai Sect elder was furious. The three of them waved a murderous aura.
Three little ants, this murderous aura alone can make them half alive. They can't be killed, and they have to be left to suffer to force the pharmacist out.
"Taoist Master Wen Xin," a coercive force came from the palace, just in time to disperse his murderous aura. An old man under Lord Yan City said slowly, "Business matters are more important, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as these minor cultivators?"
< br>Seeing that his murderous intent was easily dispersed, Taoist Master Wenxin's expression changed slightly. Although his face was full of anger, he stopped taking action and just snorted coldly:
"Why, do you, Yan City, want to protect God's punishment of sinners?"
"What the Taoist said," Yan Another person in the city queue said in a funny voice, "You want to hunt down the family's relatives and friends, but you can't stand it when they just scold you a few times? I can't stop you from hurting innocent people out of anger. You have good intentions, but you can't stand it anymore." Is this a shield in your eyes?”
“Hey, this is just a disciple of the sect.”
"I have known for a long time that these people have this kind of character, so I refused to join the sect back then, for fear that I would become an accomplice of a dog-mongering."
"You..."
Wenxin Taoist Priest He was so angry at these sarcastic Yancheng people that he almost ran away, but was helplessly suppressed by the monks of the same rank beside him. Representatives of Youzong invited by Yuntai Sect came out first and implored Lord Yan to try to force out the cursed pharmacist for the sake of the overall situation.
This idea is to make the news that the three people were captured and imprisoned public, and see if they can be forced out.
If it doesn't work, the three of them will have to suffer a little.
"We, Yancheng, are not a human slaughterhouse. How can we do these things that hurt innocent people and smear the world's righteousness?" These words made the Yuntai Sect and others angry. The Yancheng officials were still not relieved, "Everyone here has also seen it. , the pharmacist Asang did not follow Several people have contacted him.
Either they are dead, or they are afraid of injuring their relatives and friends or even finding a place to hide themselves. City Lord, we have done our best on this matter. The most important thing now is to send people out to search. to be in town "Yes, our Yancheng defense is airtight, how can the people of God's Punishment get in with their weak magic power?"
"That's right, that's what they said. Tai Zong had a grudge against the pharmacist, pointing out that Maybe they are already preparing to die together in their sect, so we should go back quickly."
The Yuntai Sect and others were angry when they heard the overt and insidious sarcasm of the Yancheng monks and officials who were their best allies before today. His face turned green. I thought that bringing so many people would put pressure on Yancheng, but it turned out that they didn't accept this idea at all.
He fell out of favor as soon as he could, without any room for change, and he humiliated himself and others wantonly.
Wenxin Taoist Master had a livid face, snorted, and walked away first. The rest of the group followed angrily, and soon left the City Lord's Mansion.
