Chapter 1362: Soul-Controlling Art
“Wu!”
Bringing with them the sound of the wind howling, two figures flew like hawks into view. Although they were five hundred kilometers away, a very powerful aura enveloped Luo Fu and everyone else. Luo Fu and company did not dare to move. That aura was from a Heaven Emanations, emanated by Xiao Di whose soul spirit attacks were ranked number two in the entire Blue Eagle Prefecture. He had already commanded them to stop. Anyone who still dared to attack would be killed instantly.
“What should we do?”
Luo Fu and Luo Tie looked towards Luo Qi. Luo Xiang had actually invited Xiao Di to come here, and Xiao Di had caught them slaughtering the martial artists from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan. This went against the wishes of the Earth Emanations Sovereign. If they did not handle this well, the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan was going to suffer heavily.
“Deny and argue!”
Luo Qi did not have any good ideas either and could only tell Luo Fu these words. Luo Fu nodded as he motioned and asked all the formidable martial artists of the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan to back away. He respectfully stood in front of all of them as he genuflected and said, “Greetings to Lord Xiao Di!”
One would not strike against someone who was playing along!
Since Luo Fu was so obedient, Xiao Di had no justification to kill him and his men at once. After all, the Earth Emanations Sovereign had his rules while the Blue Eagle Prefecture had its own as well. Since Xiao Di was not Xiao Hong, he did not have the right to do such a thing. Besides, these men did not belong to the Earth Emanations Pavilion while Luo Fu was also a Battle G.o.d Pavilion Lord.
As expected!
After Xiao Di and Luo Xiang flew by, the former remained in mid-air and did not take action. Luo Xiang, on the other hand, flew closer with his killing aura evident as he saw the ground filled with corpses. He was so angry he was about to attack. However, Xiao Di coldly shouted, “Luo Xiang, stop!”
“Lord Xiao Di!”
Luo Xiang’s eyes were both red. His own precious daughter had been taken captive and had been knocked unconscious while there were less than twenty G.o.d Kings from his clan left; his rage was imaginable. He had intended to use Xiao Di’s status and reputation to kill Luo Fu. Now, he could only grit his teeth angrily as he said, “My Lord, please help me to seek justice! The Battle G.o.d Pavilion is too overbearing. They had not only kidnapped my daughter but have now also slaughtered more than ten of my commanders. They obviously do not care about the Prefecture Lord or his rules.”
Luo Xiang’s words were well-chosen. He did not talk about the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan and the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan. Instead, he talked in terms of the Battle G.o.d Pavilion and the Earth Emanations Pavilion and had even used the Prefecture Lord’s name. This was all to give Xiao Di a very good excuse to attack. After all, the Earth Emanations Sovereign and the Prefecture Lord both had clearly stated that there was not to be wanton killing. Hence, with this excuse—even if Xiao Di wanted to kill Luo Fu and company, the Battle G.o.d Pavilion would not pursue this matter either.
“Uh?”
Xiao Di was a little hesitant. He fully understood Luo Xiang’s meaning. If he helped the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan this time, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would definitely be indebted to him and side with him from now on. However… the enemy was from the Battle G.o.d Pavilion. There might be trouble if he killed them, and this matter might even travel to the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s ears.
At this time, Mo Lingqiu and many important people were in the Blue Eagle Mountain. If Mo Lingqiu was enraged, the consequences would be dire.
“Hahaha!”
Luo Qi saw Luo Fu’s face darkened as he did not know how to counter Luo Xiang’s statement, and Luo Qi laughed out loud, saying, “Luo Xiang, you are actually pretty good at turning matters upside down! We did not abduct your daughter. What really happened should be crystal clear to you, me, and many others in the Divine Eagle City. Furthermore, we have an iron-clad witness: this lad here. We have already informed the Battle G.o.d General Pavilion about this matter. Who is right or wrong regarding this matter will be determined by our superiors.”
Luo Qi was afraid that Xiao Di would immediately kill them to silence them, and even if the Battle G.o.d Pavilion wanted to pursue this matter later on, the truth could be turned upside down. Hence, he had used the Battle G.o.d General Pavilion’s name to put some pressure on Xiao Di. He didn’t expect…
Xiao Di heard Luo Qi’s words and suddenly was enraged. If these words had come from Luo Fu, Xiao Di might still be wary and act cautiously. However, Luo Qi was but a puny upper-tier G.o.d King; he was nothing to Xiao Di but dared to threaten him?
“Hmph!”
Xiao Di’s expression grew cold as he scowled. He did not take any action. However, his one scowl made Luo Qi feel as if thunderbolts were striking in his brain. His body shook violently as he fell, and blood flowed from his seven apertures. Luo Qi had actually been killed by Xiao Di’s single scowl.
“Thunder Fury Howl?”
Luo Fu, Luo Tie, and company’s faces changed. They saw Luo Qi being killed instantly in front of them, and they were enraged; they were all seeing red. Xiao Di had actually killed someone without saying anything? Luo Qi was Luo Fu’s second uncle. He was highly respected in the clan. It was natural everyone was angry.
“Lord Xiao Di!”
Luo Fu locked onto Xiao Di as he gritted his teeth and said, “You had not even made sure of who is right and wrong—had not even investigated, and yet you have killed someone already! Isn’t that a little too overbearing? Unless you kill us all here today, I will not let this matter rest and pursue all the way to the Earth Emanations Sovereign if I have to seek justice!”
Buzz!
After speaking, a small figurine appeared in Luo Fu’s hands. This was a white-jade figurine of a very authoritative and handsome middle-aged man. Heavenly powers wrapped about Luo Fu’s hands as the white-jade figurine shone brightly, with the glow shooting straight to the heavens. Above the spatial zone, formless energy floated downwards and enveloped the entire area.
“Battle G.o.d Seal?”
This time, it was Xiao Di, Luo Xiang, and others whose faces changed. This was a very special seal stone of the Battle G.o.d Pavilion. After it was activated, one could directly communicate with the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Lord of the Earth Emanations Domain. In other words, the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Lord of the Earth Emanations Domain could probably sense the current situation and could even send his shadow forward to appear here. If Xiao Di still dared to kill Luo Fu, this matter would really become serious.
If this matter escalated further…!
If this matter reached the ears of the people in the Battle G.o.d Pavilion General Pavilion, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would probably be alerted as well. If this matter was not handled carefully today, it would severely affect the relations.h.i.+p between the Earth Emanations Pavilion and the Battle G.o.d Pavilion. If the Earth Emanations Sovereign was to pursue this matter, even Xiao Di would be in trouble.
Even though Xiao Di was enraged, he did not dare to act foolishly now. He looked coldly as he said, “Luo Fu, since you have activated the Battle G.o.d Seal, please inform the General Pavilion of the truth about what had happened. It is true that you have abducted the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan Luo Xiang’s daughter, right? She is still in your hands now. Is it also true that you guys have killed the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s martial artists? Do not tell me they had killed themselves…”
“The truth?”
Luo Fu laughed coldly as he looked at the unconscious Jiang Yi and Luo Qingyan near Luo Qi’s corpse and said, “Everything will be made clear by this lad. Lord Xiao Di, you can use your Soul-Controlling Art to make this lad recount everything that had happened recently. If it is the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan’s fault in the end, I will kill myself to atone for my crimes!”
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Yi. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan Sixth Elder and company looked very serious. If Jiang Yi spoke the truth, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would be on the losing end this time. The Battle G.o.d Pavilion General Pavilion Lord could be monitoring the situation now; how could Xiao Di dare to touch Luo Fu? In that case, the men from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would have died in vain.
Luo Xiang also understood this clearly. He turned and looked at Jiang Yi, saying, “Lord Xiao Di, this man is from the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Once you use your Soul-Controlling Art, this person would definitely perish. If that happened, would the Demon-Killing Pavilion be offended? Why not… let’s bring everyone back to the Blue Eagle Mountain and let the Prefecture Lord decide this matter?”
The Prefecture Lord was from the Earth Emanations Pavilion; no matter what, he would side with the Earth Emanations Pavilion. As long as they left here soon, the Battle G.o.d Pavilion General Pavilion Lord would not be able to monitor them anymore. Once that was the case, wouldn’t Xiao Di’s word matter the most again?
Xiao Di understood what Luo Xiang was trying to say. He nodded and said, “That’s right; since the Demon-Killing Pavilion is involved, let us head to Blue Eagle Mountain first. Once we are there, we can invite the Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Battle G.o.d Pavilion and Demon-Killing Pavilion Lords to come. We can then let everyone be the judge at a public hearing.”
“What nonsense public hearing!”
Luo Fu scolded silently. Once they went to the Blue Eagle Mountain, wouldn’t it be Xiao Hong’s words that would decide everything? How could the Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Battle G.o.d Pavilion and Demon-Killing Pavilion Lords not give face to him?
Buzz!
At this moment, a light breeze rose from above the spatial zone. Following that, the spatial zone rippled as a pair of huge eyes appeared. A voice that shook everyone’s—including Xiao Di—soul spirits traveled out: “Since Luo Fu had activated the Battle G.o.d Seal and I have nothing urgent to deal with at the moment, let’s settle this matter now. Xiao Di, activate your Soul-Controlling Art. If the Demon-Killing Pavilion wants to pursue this matter, I will bear full responsibility!”
“Greetings to the General Pavilion Lord!”
Luo Fu and the others were so agitated they almost cried. They knelt down on both knees and greeted. Since the Battle G.o.d Pavilion General Pavilion Lord in the Earth Emanations Domain had sent a wisp of his divine soul over, all was going to be well now.
