After the Skyfall

Chapter 643 Suicide
Although Li Yi got 80,000 gold, he was not happy. He knew that he had enemies in Beihuang City. This was not good news because it meant that he might not be able to continue to live and practice here quietly as before.

However, even if he killed the merchant and got rid of the divine blood warrior, there would still be other troubles.

So he simply took the money and waited, so that even if he left Beihuang City and went to other places in the world, he would be able to survive well.

"It is our servant's fault that you have been disturbed. Please don't blame our master. I am willing to use my life to calm the anger in your heart." After the matter was temporarily settled, the old servant suddenly knelt down towards Li Yi.

Before Li Yi could say anything more, the old servant picked up a dagger he carried with him and stabbed his own heart without hesitation.

His life, which was already like a candle in the wind, was now rapidly extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, there was no breath.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment. He did not blame the old servant at all. After all, it was the old servant who had been responsible for taking care of him and bringing him fine wine and good meat during this period of time. He never thought that the old servant would commit suicide at this moment to prevent him from blaming Xiu Xiang.

"Haha, that's so funny."

Suddenly, a retainer laughed: "How can the life of an old servant appease the dissatisfaction of the distinguished guest? Moreover, as a retainer, I cannot stand up for the master in his time of fear, nor can I fight against the God Blood Warriors and protect the distinguished guest's safety. This is my fault. Let me return my life to the master."

That retainer also looked like a warrior. His strength was not weak, but he was still far inferior to the Divine Blood Warrior.

At this moment, seeing that the danger was over, he felt ashamed, picked up the weapon in his hand, swung it at his neck, and actually chopped off his own head in public.

Hot blood spurted out, and the huge head rolled on the ground. A headless corpse fell to the ground powerlessly.

Seeing this, Li Yi fell silent again.

He didn't even know whether he should stop their stupid act of suicide or not.

It seems that this is how the world should be, and I should abide by the rules of this world.

"The retainer couldn't do his best, and as a guard I have no way to protect the safety of the house. Let me use my life to make up for my incompetence." A guard suddenly said at this moment.

He also used the weapon in his hand to chop off his own head without hesitation and sacrificed his life.

The death of this guard was not the end, because other guests and guards were filled with shame and anger and planned to take this opportunity to end their own lives.

Seeing this, Li Yi could not help but speak up: "Enough people have died today, don't commit suicide anymore. If you really want to be loyal to the Lord, you should repair your home first, and then apologize to the Shang Lord. If you continue to die, then many things will be left unattended, and when the Shang Lord comes back, he won't even know what happened here."

"So, you should save your own life first. This is not a sign of cowardice, but a proof of courage, because if you survive, you will have to endure greater pain, while if you die, you won't have to."

As soon as these words came out.

The guards and retainers who were filled with shame and anger calmed down a little at this moment, and the suicide phenomenon was finally stopped.

"Dear guest, now that the Lord's servant is dead, please instruct us to do something for the Lord to make up for our mistakes." A retainer came over and said, his face flushed with an urgent plea.

"Please give us your instructions, distinguished guest." Others also came over and said to Li Yi.

Because here, Li Yi has the most honorable status. He is not Xiuxiang's retainer, nor is he a guard, nor is he a slave. He is a guest.

Only he can make everyone obey, and no one else has the right to order others around.

Li Yi saw this and did not shirk his responsibility. He immediately said, "Gather all the people in the family together first. If anyone is dead, put the bodies together. Don't let anyone get lost. Also, someone must be on guard near the house. Although this place is already a ruin, there are still a lot of valuables left in the merchant's home. You need to protect the merchant and make sure they are not taken away by outsiders."

"Yes." The guards and guests immediately responded.

They promised Li Yi that they would do these things well.

soon.

There were servants who gathered the people scattered around, including servants, beautiful girls, and slaves in hiding, while the guards kept patrolling around the house, warning those who came to watch the fun at night not to get close.

This is the home of Shang Lord Xiu Xiang. Even if it has become a ruin, he has the right to forbid others from entering, unless they want to rob, in which case the guards will act without hesitation.

Maybe it’s because Li Yi is still here.

The presence of a powerful divine blood warrior made many people nearby dare not set foot in this territory and put aside some thoughts of plundering.

The bodies of the dead slaves and retainers were also carried over and placed together. In addition, many slaves and Meiji were injured. They were all affected by the battle. Although they were not dead, they had lost their ability to move. The retainers also placed the injured together.

In a moment, order was restored.

Afterwards, the remaining people searched for their household belongings among the ruins.

Some people found a box of gold, some found a lot of bamboo slips, and some found rare treasures stored by Xiuxiang.

All these properties were placed next to Li Yi, because only Li Yi had the ability to protect these properties here, and only Li Yi could stay with Xiu Xiang's properties, no one else had this qualification.

After being busy for several hours, these trivial matters were finally finished.

"Almost done." Li Yi looked at his house which had become ruins. He decided to restore everything here.

"Turning over the river."

He activated his magic power and raised his hand.

The ground shook and the earth churned. In just a few seconds, the ruins in front of them were completely buried underground. All the buildings disappeared, and were replaced by a flat ground.

Such a scene made the other guests, guards, and servants feel a little stunned. They were not quite sure what this Dayi was doing.

But it looks like it should be a good thing.

Are you leveling the land and clearing the ruins to facilitate the subsequent reconstruction of the house?
Li Yi was not bored and went to clean up the ruins. He once again used his magic power and pointed his finger, performing Taoist magic and house-building techniques.

He had practiced this magic when he was in the world of the Dharma Ending Age. As long as he controlled his magic power well, he could build a city in a short period of time. Although it was made of stone, it was very strong and durable with the blessing of magic power, and could stand for at least a hundred years without being damaged.

Building a house now is extremely easy.

soon.

The ground was wriggling, and stone buildings were rising from the ground.

In just less than ten seconds, Xiu Xiang's damaged house was restored to its original state. However, this time all the decorations were gone and all the materials had turned into stone, which did not look very beautiful.

"Is this a divine spell?"

The retainers, guards, and servants all opened their eyes wide when they saw this scene, looking extremely shocked.

They were powerful enough to destroy a house, but they had no way to build a house in such a short time. Li Yi's method was beyond their cognition, and they subconsciously associated it with the rumored divine arts.

As the name suggests, divine arts are methods that only gods can master.

It is said that some direct descendants of the divine blood warriors also possess divine arts, but these are not something that low-level warriors like them can know.

It was just because Lord Shang Xiuxiang was knowledgeable and often chatted with the former Nanshanbo, and one of the things he mentioned was magic.

"This is the only way. Everything remains the same as before. Everyone can move in as before." Li Yi spoke slowly at this moment.

The others looked at Li Yi with more awe.

It should be said that he is worthy of being the distinguished guest that the Lord has waited for a year. With such strength and means, he is indeed worthy of the Lord's waiting.

"promise."

After a while, everyone hurriedly made a promise to Li Yi.

They immediately fulfilled their previous duties, some took care of the house, some continued to guard the gate. At the same time, one of the retainers took one hundred gold coins directly from the money left by Xiu Xiang, saying that he was going to buy meat to entertain Dayi.

At the same time, several uninjured beauties came to Dayi and expressed their willingness to serve.

Everyone did their best to take good care of this distinguished guest.
