Chapter 1676: Chapter 864: The Wages of Sin (2)
Mo Hua was startled and quickly said, "He has cultivated Evil Qi!"
And it was that kind of gloomy and filthy Evil Qi.
Fortunately, Gu Changhuai had been ambushed by this Evil Qi many times before and had long since gained experience. Realizing something was wrong, he had already avoided looking directly.
Yet in his heart, he was furious beyond measure. Without holding back, he struck Xiao Tianquan’s shoulder with a palm.
On the other side, Xia Canonical Official’s face was as cold as frost, he pierced with his sword, slicing through Xiao Tianquan’s right leg, the chill seeping into his flesh through the wound.
Xiao Tianquan staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, disheveled and in a sorry state.
In front of Xia Canonical Official, being humiliated by Gu Changhuai, especially with the two of them working together, Xiao Tianquan was both ashamed and angry.
On the other side, Ye Hong was still in a daze, mumbling, "Why?"
These words were questioning Xiao Tianquan.
Xiao Tianquan’s face twisted with rage, "Why? It’s because your good daughter didn’t know what’s good for her. A mere girl from a Third Grade family, I wanted to befriend her, it was giving her face, and yet she repeatedly refused my kindness."
"I had no choice but to ask Madam Miao to use some means to trick her onto the boat."
"Once on the Rouge Boat shrouded in fog, after feeding her pills, she obediently let me have my way."
Xiao Tianquan glanced at Ye Hong, smiling darkly:
"But speaking of it, your daughter really is top-grade, not only beautiful in appearance but also tender-bodied, I noticed her at first sight when I visited the Ye family. On the Rouge Boat, you didn’t know how much I loved her, her fair skin, you don’t know what kind of torment it underwent by me."
"It’s a pity, though, she’s too stubborn, otherwise I could have kept her outside as a concubine, occasionally visiting her, better than her passing away like that, burning into a piece of charcoal."
These words, each one piercing the heart.
Especially for Ye Hong, as a father, it was like having a sharp knife repeatedly gouging at his heart.
Not only Ye Hong, even Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official were shaking with anger.
"I’ll kill you, you beast!"
Ye Hong, his eyes red with rage, roared as he lunged at Xiao Tianquan, wishing to eat his flesh.
But he was no match for Xiao Tianquan, who dodged easily and struck back with a palm to Ye Hong’s chest, causing him to stagger back a few steps and spit blood.
Xiao Tianquan’s gaze was cold, he even wanted to secretly take out a hidden weapon from his sleeve to silence Ye Hong.
Gu Changhuai was already furious. Seeing this, he kicked and broke Xiao Tianquan’s arm, gathering a powerful wind force in his right hand and slapped towards Xiao Tianquan’s heavenly cap.
Xiao Tianquan screamed:
"Gu Changhuai!"
"Gu Changhuai! You can’t kill me!"
Gu Changhuai’s palm wind came to an abrupt halt.
Xiao Tianquan shrieked, "Don’t forget, I’m from the Xiao family, a direct lineage of the Xiao family, loved by the Ancestor. I’m also an Enforcement Leader in the Taoist Court! Even if I’m guilty, even if I deserve to die, it should be judged by the Taoist Court, with the Taoist Law sentencing, execution by the executioner, you can’t kill me!"
Gu Changhuai remained emotionless, "Your crimes are heinous, whether you die sooner or later, it’s death."
Xiao Tianquan sneered, "Do you want to create a blood feud between the Xiao family and the Gu family? Don’t you want your Supervisor position? And what will you tell Master Xia, Xia Canonical Official?"
Xia Canonical Official’s face was icy, "Do you still have the nerve to mention the Inspector?"
At this point, Xiao Tianquan shamelessly tore off the pretense and acted brazenly:
"I haven’t committed any crimes, why can’t I mention the Inspector?"
Xia Canonical Official frowned, "You admitted it yourself..."
Xiao Tianquan smiled, blood staining his teeth, "Where’s the evidence? I was just talking, I’m an Enforcement Leader of the Taoist Court, how could I possibly do such a thing?"
"Moreover, Master Xia values me, he will entrust me with heavy responsibilities, he won’t let me die."
"You all know the internal rules, punishment doesn’t extend to noble families, I’m from a noble family, a direct lineage! I’m not like those with lowly lives."
Gu Changhuai nodded coldly, "Fine, then I’ll cripple you first, leave you half alive, so that whether you suffer punishment in the Taoist Prison won’t matter."
"Gu Changhuai!" Xiao Tianquan turned pale.
At this moment, a voice, as deep as a bell, resounded, "Stop!"
Gu Changhuai’s gaze sharpened, then stopped, turning to see Master Xia, standing nearby at an unknown time, like a deep well or lofty mountain.
He was Feather Transformation, with powerful Divine Sense.
What happened here could never escape him.
Yet even he didn’t expect things to escalate to this point.
"Uncle..." Xia Canonical Official said.
Master Xia shook his head, "This is not the place to talk, get on the boat first."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but after a few steps, Gu Changhuai called after him, "Master Xia..."
Master Xia turned back, seeing Gu Changhuai’s handsome face full of sternness, his gaze sharp as a sword.
Gu Changhuai said, "Master Xia, will you act according to the Taoist Law?"
Master Xia was slightly stunned, and then his face turned indifferent, showing no emotion.
"The Taoist Court has its own rules."
After saying this, Master Xia left.
A few cultivators from the Xia family came to Gu Changhuai, bowed, and took the severely injured Xiao Tianquan onto the ship.
Gu Changhuai did not stop them either.
Mo Hua and Ye Hong stood where they were.
Xia Canonical Official glanced at everyone, tightly pressed his lips, and followed Master Xia back to the Xia family’s Spirit Boat.
In a secret room of the cabin, Xia Canonical Official directly said:
"Uncle, Xiao Tianquan’s crimes are numerous and vile, killing him ten times wouldn’t be too much."
"On the Rouge Boat, who knows how many women were harmed by them..."
Master Xia said flatly, "I know..."
Xia Canonical Official frowned, "Uncle!"
