Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 362: Kill! !

The three were all shocked by the shouting and didn't know what to do. They didn't dare to speak for a while and just lowered their heads in silence.

"You don't have ears, get out!" Kuang Liuting's voice in the hall rose again. Kang Dabao buried his head in thought for a while, and just as he was about to get up, he heard an angry voice from the hall: "Tie Liuyun, don't you know that this uncle is talking about you?!"

"Hmm..." Master Kang watched Tie Liuyun's face turn red. Such a burly and fierce man was scolded so hard that he stammered for a long time and couldn't say a complete word to refute.

"Get lost! I wanted to see Kang Dabao and Linghu You. What does this have to do with you?! Why don't you work hard in the Dingzhou camp and abandon the army to run back to Xuanwei City to be a lawyer?!"

Kuang Liuting's scolding did not give any face to Tie Liuyun, a senior official of the provincial court.

The commander who used to be so majestic outside was extremely embarrassed today. He was like an old dog kicked by his owner. He didn't even dare to make a sound, but just retreated tremblingly with his tail between his legs.

"This is..." Linghu You, who was already uneasy, felt his heart sink. His face, which was already gloomy due to meeting his enemy Kang Dabao, showed even more uneasiness.

But before he could think carefully, he heard another voice from inside the hall: "Kang Dabao, Linghu You, come in and talk."

This time, Kuang Liuting's voice became much gentler. The two people who were called stood up together and walked into the hall.

The two men bowed their heads and walked in, bowing and paying their respects.

The thin Taoist in the hall was still holding a book in his hand, and Gongjia Sima, whom Kang Dabao had not seen for a long time, was standing behind him.

Gun Shilu looked at Master Kang entering without saying a word, but just gave him a look, which made the latter feel a little relieved.

"Sit down," Nan'anbo closed the book, with the same self-conceited look on his face that Master Kang was quite familiar with.

Kuang Liuting accepted the greetings from Kang and Linghu, and after watching them find a seat and sit down halfway, he first moved his gaze to Linghu You.

"May I ask which senior cultivator is sitting in the hall?!"

"This..." Linghu You was frozen on the spot, not knowing how to start speaking for a moment.

Kang Dabao didn't show any surprise on his face, but he was frightened in his heart. He didn't think that Kuang Liuting had said something wrong. Could it be that Linghu You was really a senior cultivator in disguise? !

Did our Third Master actually injure a Jindan upper-level cultivator earlier? !

There was no flash of surprise in Sima Gong's eyes, but his expression was still calm, without any change.

"May I ask which senior monk is sitting in the hall?!" Seeing that Linghu You did not answer, Kuang Liuting did not give up and asked.

After all, Linghu You was a heroic leader who rose from scratch. Even if he had fallen a little over the years, he could certainly not be called a mediocre person.

After hearing Kuang Liuting's stern question, he knew that he could not avoid the questioning, so he calmed down and prepared his speech in just a few breaths. After half a bow, he responded respectfully:

"Master, please understand. I, Linghu You, have only been practicing in the Xuanyue Sect of Dingzhou. Due to my dull aptitude, I have only obtained a fake elixir at the age of over 200, and my path to immortality has been cut off. Therefore, I can no longer dream of the so-called genuine golden elixir, and I dare not ask you to be my master."

"Ha, it turns out that I was wrong and wronged you. Please don't bear grudge against my unintentional mistake." Kuang Liuting raised the corners of his mouth and said in a light voice.

"I dare not!" Linghu You was quick-witted and bowed immediately.

"It turns out that you are really not a Jindan upper-level cultivator. Then I am a little curious." Kuang Liuting paused here, a hint of coldness flashed across his face.

The uncle only stared at Linghu You's handsome face, which was slightly flushed, and then asked loudly: "Then where did your family get the courage to kill the official of the Immortal Dynasty who killed me?!"

Kuang Liuting read only twenty or thirty words very slowly, and his eyes never left Linghu You's face for a moment, which made the latter terrified and sweat profusely.

"I dare not!" Linghu You's seemingly young body was filled with fear, and his arguments were pale under the weight of the sun.

However, the head of the Kang family who was standing nearby felt relieved. Looking at the situation, Nan'an Bo was a man who knew right from wrong, so he should not have to suffer any consequences.

"Since you can't save Feng Wan's life, why do you dare not?" Nan Anbo sneered.
"I dare not. I dare not ask you to think about my family."

Kuang Liuting was annoyed by Linghu You's pitiful appearance. If he had been stronger at this time, he might have been able to gain his respect, but now...
Nan'an Bo took out a pair of rings that flashed with black light and locked Linghu You easily. After making him unable to move or make a sound, he ignored the leader of Xuanyue Sect who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud.

He just turned around and said, "Gun Shilu, go and call Tie Liuyun in."

"My Lord." Sima Gun, who had been silent since the head of the Kang family entered the hall, was hesitant to speak now.

"Go!" Kuang Liuting didn't even look at Gun Shilu, and his tone did not allow for any argument.

The Sima Gong dared not say anything more and bowed his head and left. Kang Dabao, on the other hand, became more cautious and raised his butt slightly from the spiritual wood chair.

Tie Liuyun quickly followed Gun Shilu into the hall with a look of fear on his face.

He was smart as always, and he knew Kuang Liuting's thoughts. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed and said hurriedly: "Your subordinates failed to supervise strictly, which led to the Dingzhou Front Army making a big mistake. You are guilty! You are guilty!"

However, Kuang Liuting's face did not improve as he expected. Nan Anbo still had a stern face and said in a cold tone: "Tie Liuyun, do you still want me to take care of such things?!"

"The officials are guilty, guilty!"

"Aren't you familiar with the criminal laws of the David Dynasty? What is the crime of harming the Dynasty? Do I need to explain it to you?!" Kuang Liuting's thin face was full of anger.

Although both were harshly questioned by the Earl of Nan'an, Tie Liuyun's performance was much better than Linghu You's.

He knelt up, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "I think that the people of Shannan Dao are not as good as they used to be. The ice is three feet cold, and it is not a day's cold. Now is a time of trouble. It is rare to have a family like Xuanyue Sect that knows a little bit of loyalty and righteousness. They should be the role model of Shannan Dao.

Therefore, even if the Xuan Yue Sect occasionally committed rebellious acts, the lower officials only wanted to temporarily exempt them from punishment and educate them, in order to prevent someone with ulterior motives from exaggerating and pushing the people's hearts that were hard-earned for the Lord into the arms of others.

It will also help Xuan Yue Men to remember this and continue to serve the state court, Lord Bo, and the Immortal Dynasty wholeheartedly!"

It was not until Tie Liuyun heard these words that Kuang Liuting's expression cleared up a little, and Gun Shilu's expression also relaxed a little.

Only the head of the Kang family, who only sat halfway on the chair, did not change his expression, but secretly complained: "I'm afraid that the uncle's habit of following the donkey's will never change. He likes loyal people the most, even if they are pretending. If you can grasp this vein, it will be easy to be an official in the Yunjiao State Court."

Kang Dabao cursed Tie Liuyun in his heart again, saying that he was a treacherous flatterer who always said nice things, but he murmured in a low voice: "You are so hypocritical. You said all the good and bad things."

Kuang Liuting did not take any action, but Gun Shilu glared at Kang Dabao, showing some dissatisfaction. The head of Kang Da was a little confused, but Kuang Liuting spoke again: "You have a good reason, so I believe it. But,"

Nan'an Bo's face became solemn, and he waved his halberd finger at Linghu You, who had become a lamb to be slaughtered, and said in a deep voice: "The official of my David Immortal Dynasty must not die in vain. I have no use for this man, so I'll execute him?!"

"Uncle!" Tie Liuyun exclaimed in surprise, apparently he had not expected that his impassioned speech could not change Kuang Liuting's mind.

"What are you shouting for? Behead him!" Nan'anbo continued in a deep voice without changing his tone.

Tie Liuyun immediately shook his head vigorously. Before he came, he had thought that Kuang Liuting would be angry because Feng Wan was killed by Linghu Rong, but he never thought that Kuang Liuting would be so angry that he wanted to take Linghu You's life.

"He's just a lowly cultivator with five spiritual roots! This is a fake pill! A fake pill that has more than a thousand disciples and is enough to influence the war situation in an entire state!" Tie Liuyun almost read out his thoughts loudly in front of Kuang Liuting.

He did not bother to pretend to be pitiful, and immediately stood up and walked in front of Kuang Liuting, and gave another piece of advice: "This, this... I beg you to think twice! Once this happens, I am afraid that all the kind people who responded to my Dingzhou camp will be shocked.

By then, people's hearts will be dispersed, and we will lose a general, but the Hongyi Sect will gain an advantage. The good situation in Dingzhou may be ruined, and the Lord's efforts will be in vain!"

To be fair, Tie Liuyun's words were not groundless.

Even Sect Leader Kang had to admit that as the only leader of a fake Dan sect in Dingzhou who sided with the state court, Linghu You could indeed play such a role.

To outsiders, it seemed like killing someone for no reason just because of a little Qi training, which was like carrying firewood against one's will.

But no one could have imagined that after hearing how powerful Tie Liuyun and Chen Qing were, Kuang Liuting's tone remained unchanged and he was very indifferent: "Behead him!!"

Tie Liuyun knew that he could not persuade him, so he sighed and was about to turn around, but he heard Gun Shilu, who had been silent, start to persuade him again:
"My Lord, please allow me to report! What Tie Jianshi said is correct. I just returned from Baisha County. The Yuan family has the support of Liangyi Sect, so it is difficult for us to make any progress. However, it is not the same in Dingzhou.

Now that the Hongyi Sect has not produced any golden elixir, and Yue Jing's guest officials are far superior to their peers, as long as the local cultivators in Dingzhou, like Linghu You, follow his example and abandon the dark and join the light, this Dingzhou will definitely be taken! By then, the people of Dingzhou will surely be overjoyed, there will be light under the Southern King's Palace, and the entire David world will also be shaken."

After these words were spoken, Leader Tie Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, but when Kang Dabao looked at Gun Jia Sima, disgust appeared in his eyes for the first time.

"Has this old Gun also secretly joined the Yue family? After my uncle comes out of seclusion, I'm afraid he will have to clean up their Jingji faction, right?!"

Sect Leader Kang didn't know whether Zhu Tong, who was fighting hard with Yuan Buwen on the front line in Baisha County, would jump up and down after hearing what Gun Shilu said.

"That's not how party struggles are played! Regardless of right or wrong, I agree with what you oppose and I oppose what you agree with. That's the essence of party struggles!"

Gun Shilu's advice was obviously more convincing to Kuang Liuting than Tie Liuyun's. After discussing for such a long time, hesitation appeared in his eyes for the first time.

He was still hesitating, Tie Liuyun dared not say anything more, and Gun Shilu just bowed deeply without looking up.

"Kang Dabao, I didn't ask you to come here just to have tea. Please tell me something."

It was not until Kuang Liuting called his name that the head of Kangda stood up calmly without any fear of the situation: "I am a humble official with limited knowledge, so I dare to speak out some of my humble insights and my own narrow views."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me!" The uncle didn't want to lie, so he just asked urgently.

Kang Dabao quickly responded, "These are some of the relics of Feng Wan, the lieutenant of Jin County. The only daughter of Sect Leader Linghu was willing to pick them up. I have collected them and brought them back. Please have a look, my Lord."

Piles of colorful jade slips were taken out from the storage bag by Sect Leader Kang. At first glance, they were the cheapest and most inferior stuff that poor and independent cultivators liked the most. Kuang Liuting was quite curious and took them to have a look.

"Jin County People's Records·Compiled in the 440th Year of Qianfeng", "Jin County Leisure", "Discussion on Food and Medicine", "Jin County Chronicles: Immortals, Buddhists, Medicines, Chastity, Righteousness, Filial Piety, Friendship, Hermits, Election and Training, Fengxian, Town Guards, Yeqingqu Water Conservancy, Auspicious Customs, Xingye Mountains and Rivers, Territory and Geography."

The more Kuang Liuting thought about it, the gloomier his expression became, and Tie and Gun's faces also became uglier.

As soon as Kuang Liuting pointed at the piles of colorful jade slips one by one, the hall was already quiet. It was true that David Xian Dynasty had never found such an official who worked hard since ancient times. Just this rare energy could really shock everyone into silence.

After a while, the head of Kangda Sect said at the right time:
"My Lord entrusted the affairs of Jin County to me, but I failed to do a good job. I apologize for this. I did not expect that the magistrate of Jin County was also a man who could lay a solid foundation and could not handle trivial matters. I was surprised that Feng Wan, a mediocre person, had been in charge of the county affairs for so many years.

Even the lower officials didn't know that he had done so many things. These jade slips were worthless. But in the counties of Yunjiao Prefecture, no one had done these things for more than a thousand years.

Feng Wan is a person of little value. He has very poor aptitude and cannot even reach the late stage of Qi training. He cannot be of much help to the uncle.

But since he was granted the position of county lieutenant by the grace of the Lord, he was still able to maintain peace in the local area and suppress rebellion. He was wounded and fought in battles and captured camps, but he never hid behind.
He wants to do it well, and he is doing it well.”

After Kang Dabao finished speaking, he stopped talking and just bowed to Gun Shilu. He could feel that Gun Shilu, who was standing beside him, was trying his best to suppress his surging emotions, but he remained silent.

He seemed to really no longer care about Linghu You's life or death, and just treated him as an outsider.

Sima Gun knew that Kang Dabao had won this time. As for the matter of diagnosing the pulse of the Earl of Nan'an, the latter might not be any worse than them, the officials of the provincial court.

Tie Liuyun closed his eyes, not thinking about anything else, just silently waiting for Kuang Liuting to speak.

"Bang!" The three people's hearts trembled and they dared not to look.

The black ring that was originally worn on Linghu You was now covered in blood mud. It flashed with a glow in mid-air, and after all the blood, flesh, and bones on his body were annihilated into gas, it fell back into Kuang Liuting's hands with a glowing light.

Nan'an Bo seemed to be in a bad mood, he sat down and went back, saying calmly: "Xuan Yue Sect, since its leader Linghu You, has killed our Xian Dynasty's officials, their hearts are evil and their crimes are unforgivable!
Considering the meritorious service of the family in raising the righteousness, the collective punishment will be suspended. Xuanyue Sect cultivators above the foundation building stage must be carefully identified, and all those who participated in the murder of Jin County Lieutenant Feng Wan will be executed according to Linghu You's method, and no leniency will be allowed.

The remaining disciples of Xuanyue Sect are concerned about the king's affairs and have good natures. They have not joined the rebellion, which is very comforting to me. I have ordered the officials to formulate rewards and distribute them within ten days and publicize them to all directions. All of them will remain in Dingzhou camp and be under the command of the emperor. They must not shrink back in the slightest. "

"My Lord, you are wise." The three of them responded loudly.

"Tie Liuyun, Kang Dabao, you have a long way to go, go back and work hard."

"Yes." Kang Dabao immediately felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly left, ignoring Tie Liuyun who asked him to stay, and quickly went to Chongmingzong. At the moment, there were still troubles to deal with at home, so he didn't have the leisure to listen to Tie Liuyun's hypocritical and high-sounding words here.

After the two men left for a long time, Kuang Liuting sighed and said, "This kid doesn't look like you, but more like Fennan."

Before Gun Shilu could respond, Kuang Liuting continued, "He is softer than you, but tougher than Fernando. He is also capable, so I have to continue to use him."

"However, you are the only one I, Kuang Liuting, can truly rely on."
