Baron, in particular, knew that very few people knew that he possessed the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves.
However, this secret has now been easily revealed by Xingliu.
Barron was certain that Xingliu could not have obtained this information through normal means.
But the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe them.
The strength that Xingliu had previously displayed had completely exceeded Baron's comprehension.
He understood that the gap between himself and Xingliu was like an insurmountable chasm.
Since he couldn't win, running away became his only option.
Baron did not hesitate to turn and flee, trying to get rid of this terrible opponent.
However, how easy is it to escape from a star?
Xingliu gently waved his hand, and Baron, who had already run a distance, was instantly pulled back to his side, whereupon he fainted without any resistance.
Xingliu reached out and pressed his hand on Baron's forehead, beginning to casually browse through the memories in his mind.
This incredible maneuver left Xia Liuqing utterly hopeless.
He understood that he could not only defeat Xingliu, but he could not even escape.
At this moment, he had completely given up on the idea of capturing Feng Baobao to complete the mission, and only hoped that Xingliu would spare his life after reviewing Baron's memories.
At the same time, because Xingliu quickly dealt with all the crazy people on the field, the people who had been held back earlier also noticed the commotion here.
However, because Xingliu moved so quickly, apart from the people around him, no one else knew that Xingliu had taken care of these people.
They could only guess that these people might have fallen because their controllers had been defeated, or because the time for the secret technique had come to an end.
The Six Treasures Immortal Thief that Xingliu mentioned earlier was like a bombshell, stirring up waves of greed in everyone's hearts.
Among them, Wang Bing's reaction was the strongest.
As one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation in the Wang family, Wang Bing has always been known for his arrogance and domineering attitude. He always thinks highly of himself and believes that he is the chosen one of heaven and deserves all the good things in the world.
Although he had just been somewhat disheveled in his entanglement with those madmen, Wang had not suffered any real harm, which only fueled his arrogance.
When he learned that Xingliu had captured the successor of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, he walked up to Xingliu without hesitation and commanded him in a condescending manner:
"Hey, hand this person over to me. This is not something you can get your hands on!"
In Wang Bing's world, he is the center of the universe, and everyone should revolve around him.
Therefore, he had no interest in learning about Xingliu's identity and strength, and directly made his demands.
He even went so far as to add:
"Also, I was very impressed with the ability you just displayed. Make a copy for me, do you hear me?"
However, Wang Bing's arrogance and domineering attitude seemed so vulnerable in front of Xing Liu.
Xingliu merely opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him, and Wang Bing seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, falling into a bottomless illusion space.
In this space, Wang Bing began his long "journey to hell".
Starting from the Hell of Tongue Pulling, he falls down layer by layer, descending to the next lower level of hell every year.
When he finally endured eighteen years and thought he was about to be free, he was devastated to find himself back on the first floor, starting all over again.
This endless cycle of torment caused Wang Bing unbearable pain, and his soul gradually dissipated in the illusion space.
In reality, people only saw Wang pause suddenly, and then fall straight down.
His breathing slowly stopped, and his life vanished silently.
This demonstration, like an invisible barrier, instantly intimidated those with greedy hearts present.
Their previously restless steps were now frozen in place, and they dared not advance rashly any longer.
However, there are always one or two people who insist on standing out.
A man with a full head of red hair, even his eyebrows were red, walked straight up to Xingliu while talking on the phone.
He spoke words of comfort to his mother, but his face revealed an undisguised rage.
"I understand, Mom. Although my brother deserved to die, as his younger brother, I still have to seek justice for him."
The mother on the other end of the phone seemed to still be crying, so the red-haired man quickly comforted her:
"Hey, don't cry. I won't fight that person, don't worry. Your son always keeps his word and never lies... Okay, I'll hang up now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked up at Xingliu.
Although he didn't explicitly state his purpose, it was clear to everyone that he was there to cause trouble for Xingliu.
At this moment, Xingliu had already taken control of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, and the system notification sounded in his ear.
He released Baron and turned his gaze to Jia Zhengliang.
"Are you Jia Zhengliang?" Xingliu asked calmly, "Are you here because of your brother?"
Jia Zhengliang raised his eyebrows and answered without hesitation:
“That’s right, that’s why I’m here. Although my brother deserved to die for attacking you, he was still my brother after all. So, I’m here to get an explanation.”
Xingliu scoffed at this, "An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
As he said this, he snapped his fingers lightly.
Jia Zhengliang felt as if he had been thrown into a boiling oil pan in an instant, and every cell in his body was screaming in pain.
However, this feeling was fleeting, and he immediately fell to his knees uncontrollably.
"Is this the explanation you wanted?" Xingliu said coldly.
"Your brother ambushed me back then. If I hadn't been strong enough, I probably would have died at his hands long ago. So, tell me, will you seek justice from your brother for my death?"
Jia Zhengliang was in so much pain that he could not speak and could only shake his head in agony.
"Ultimately, this world is nothing more than a jungle where the strong prey on the weak," Xingliu continued.
"Your so-called arguments are not worth mentioning to me. If you dare to provoke me again, I don't mind wiping out your Jiajia Village."
Chapter 224 The Price of Arrogance
After Xingliu finished speaking, he coldly surveyed the surrounding greedy people who were stunned by his words.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart, making people afraid to meet his eyes.
Those who had been so aggressive now bowed their heads silently, their hearts filled with awe and fear.
Xingliu's gaze finally landed on Jia Zhengliang, who was kneeling on the ground.
Jia Zhengliang felt Xingliu's gaze, and his body trembled involuntarily.
His forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, which slid down and dripped onto the ground. He felt as if he were in an ice cellar, his whole body chilled to the bone.
Jia Zhengliang was filled with regret and despair.
He understood that the gap between himself and Xingliu was so vast, it was like heaven and earth.
He once thought he was very powerful, but in front of Xingliu, he realized how small and fragile he was.
Jia Zhengliang spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling, "I...I understand..."
His voice was filled with bitterness and helplessness, as if every word had taken all his strength.
"It was my... overestimation of my abilities... I... I'll leave now..."
Xingliu sneered, "You think you can just come and go as you please? What do you take me for?"
Although that's what he said, Jia Zhengliang clearly felt a sense of relief and felt much better.
Although Xingliu's tone was cold, he did not put any more pressure on him.
Jia Zhengliang knew in his heart that Xingliu had actually let him off the hook.
However, because of the lesson he had just learned, he dared not underestimate Xingliu and remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.
Jia Zhengliang was filled with gratitude and awe. He knew that Xingliu had let him go because he had not posed a real threat to Xingliu.
If Xingliu really wanted to deal with him, he would probably be dead already.
Seeing that Jia Zhengliang showed no intention of leaving, Xingliu frowned. He said calmly:
"Now that you understand your situation, leave quickly. Don't do anything so presumptuous again."
Jia Zhengliang quickly kowtowed and thanked him, saying, "Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Lord Xingliu."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up.
He felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and every step required tremendous effort.
Jia Zhengliang walked with difficulty to the door, turned around, looked at Xingliu for a long time, and then turned and left.
He knew he would never forget the lesson he learned today.
He also understood that he would never be qualified to challenge Xingliu again.
The power that Xingliu displayed at this moment completely intimidated those with ill intentions.
Their once restless hearts were now covered by the frost of winter, and not a single flame of greed could be ignited.
Jia Zhengliang himself did not realize that he had unintentionally become a "knife".
If Xingliu hadn't displayed that overwhelming rage, he would likely have been met with a chaotic melee attack from all sides.
In this world, the idea that "the law does not punish the masses" is deeply ingrained in people's minds. Those greedy people intend to take advantage of this and use the power of the group to force Xingliu to comply.
Either hand over the Qi Source Flow, or hand over the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves.
However, they were lucky. If Jia Zhengliang hadn't stepped in, and they had actually done it, this day next year would probably be their death anniversary.
Xia He's eyes sparkled with a captivating light as she gazed at Xing Liu's imposing figure, her desires surging like a tide.
She longed to devour the starlight immediately and become completely immersed in his world.
Although she hadn't spent much time with Xingliu, her body had already developed a deep dependence on and submission to him.
Moreover, she knew perfectly well that Xingliu did not like her past behavior of flaunting herself in public.
Therefore, she could only suppress her inner impulse, gently lick her lips, and hope that in a moment when no one was around, she could once again taste the power and profundity of the star flow.
At the same time, Wang Ye felt somewhat lost and confused.
