Qin Wushuang"s original aspiration was to find Xiao Guan. He had never held much objection to the Nine Raven Temple. After all, when dealing with sects, there would always be a few sc.u.mmy people. The Nine Raven Temple had always had a good reputation, so Qin Wushuang never intended to get the Nine Raven Temple too involved.
Even if Xiao Guan had been murdered by Qi Yutang, he would not let out his anger on other people: he would only investigate the ones responsible. Qin Wushuang was seeking justice and figured that all involved in this matter should die!
This was Qin Wushuang"s bottom-line and principle.
If he could not even protect his own family and friends, why should he train so hard to be superior?
Qin Wushuang caught Qi Yutang and held him up in the air like he would a little chick. Only one belt was holding up Qi Yutang and maintaining his life. If this belt was not st.u.r.dy enough to hold his weight, perhaps it would break and he would lose his insignificant life. If he were to fall from this high alt.i.tude of several thousands of metres, he would surely become a pile of mud. There would be no other options of living.
Clearly, Qin Wushuang intended to torture Qi Yutang and play with his nerves. When he saw the twinkling lights in Qi Yutang"s eye, he knew instantly that this was a cunning guy.
He was certainly a guy that would take advantage of anyone who treated him too nicely. For such a person, one could only intimidate him and break his mind to get out useful information.
To do just that, Qin Wushuang dragged Qi Yutang in the air as if he were flying a kite. He allowed Qi Yutang to experience what it was like to be at death"s door.
Qi Yutang wailed like a ghost and howled like the wolves. He was truly spooked out of his mind. As he looked at the bottomless place beneath him, it was impossible for him not to be scared.
After tossing him from side to side, Qin Wushuang dropped to the ground on a lone island. He threw Qi Yutang onto the ground casually.
Qi Yutang felt his entire body sink into the mud as his body lay weak. He was scared to the point in which his bones had become limp. Revealing a colorless face, he lay on the ground with despair and panted heavily while at the same time sizing up Qin Wushuang with extreme fear.
Qin Wushuang asked lightly, "Still want to play?"
Qi Yutang howled miserably, "Senior, no more, I can take no more. I don"t have a good heart. Senior, just how have I offended you? Please tell me, I will slap my own mouth. What do you say?"
After he finished, he slapped his own face.
For your information, Qi Yutang was a ruthless character. He did not hold back when he slapped his own face for each slap was genuine.
He did not dare fake it. If he were not to pretend to be in a repentful state, he would be digging his own grave!
Qin Wushuang looked at Qi Yutang as if he was looking at a clown jumping up and down.
Mu Rong Xu also found it strange. How come this person showed no constraint and was treating himself in such a poor way?
"That"s right, don"t put on a show here. Your methods will not work. First, look who is this?" As Qin Wushuang said this, he threw Marquis Fei forward.
Qi Yutang immediately looked, but could barely recognize him. "This… This is the royal member of the Nine Raven Empire, right?"
"Then could it be you still don"t know why I"ve looked for you?"
Qin Wushuang"s voice had become strict all of a sudden. With a gaze as sharp as a knife, he stared at Qi Yutang"s face.
Qi Yutang"s entire body trembled. "Xiao… Xiao family?"
"You are not hopelessly stupid after all," Qin Wushuang said coldly. "This Fei guy says that you took people away from the Xiao family. I believe the person I"m looking for may already be murdered by you. If this is the case, I have a calculation for you to do. In total, there are two people taken from the Xiao family. For each life, use ten of your family members to balance them out. Calculate it. How many lives would we need?"
"As one life exchanges for ten lives, that would be twenty lives!"
Adding together all the grandchildren of Qi Yutang, there would not be more than twenty people in his family.
His entire body shook, as finally he understood the intention of the other party. Siblings of the Xiao family? No good… Qi Yutang thought of terrible possibilities as his entire body could not refrain from trembling.
Qin Wushuang took everything into his eyes and his heart grew colder. "This way, they were truly murdered by you. Qi Yutang, you shall be the first sacrifice."
Qi Yutang immediately called out, "Wait! They are not dead yet!"
Qin Wushuang stopped his attack forcefully after having acc.u.mulated power. "Not dead? Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
Qi Yutang immediately begged with bitterness, "It"s true, I"m not lying to you. I imprisoned them inside the water cell. Perhaps, they are not dead yet. I just wanted to torture them and have revenge for my kid. I… I will take you to them now!"
Qin Wushuang did not speak anymore words as he dragged Qi Yutang by hand. "Lead the way. You know that if you"ve lied to me, the numbers to pay for their lives will be more than just twenty."
Qi Yutang could only pray to the heaven and earth and hope that the siblings of the Xiao family had held on and not died too soon. If so, everything would be over.
Under Qi Yutang"s direction, they soon arrived at a lone island imprisoning the Xiao siblings. There were no clues visible from the outside that his lone island had been developed into a prison.
After entering the lone island, they pa.s.sed through many secret paths and could finally enter the underground prison.
As soon as Qin Wushuang landed on the island, he initiated his spiritual perception to thoroughly search it. Thankfully, there were two weak presences. Although these two presences had reached their end of lifetime, they were still holding on stubbornly.
When he arrived at the underground water cell, the two bodies had been bathed in water and their skin had already become pale. Their heartbeat was incredibly weak, almost to the extent that they were hanging on by a string of hair.
In spite of this circ.u.mstance, Xiao Guan still exerted all his efforts to support his sister"s body. Following the wall of the water prison, he worked hard to prevent less water from soaking into his sister"s body.
Xiao Guan, who was in a bit better of condition, held his sister with his hand.
Upon hearing the movements from outside the water prison, Xiao Guan swore, "Qi Yutang, you treacherous bandit, you will not die of a good death! You low life, a disgrace to the Nine Raven Temple. If you have any guts, kill me."
Now Qi Yutang could not even save himself for he was extremely afraid that Xiao Guan had died. Hearing him swear, he let out a long sigh and relaxed. How could he have energy to spare to throw out these curses?
Qin Wushuang did not even take the time to look at this water prison as he shattered all the barriers with one palm. All water from the prison burst out.
Xiao Guan stood wobbly, yet he still carried his young sister with perseverance.
"You… Who are you? Why are you saving me?" Xiao Guan was somewhat surprised. How could he not see that the other party was clearly saving him.
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. "Xiao Guan, you are to impetuous."
Upon hearing Qin Wushuang"s voice, Xiao Guan"s face instantly lit up. "Young Master, Young Master, is that you?"
Qin Wushuang nodded. "Hurry and come out. It"s good that I"m not too late."
Although overjoyed at the turn of events, Xiao Guan could not bother to be happy. He knelt down before Qin Wushuang. "Young Master, please have mercy and save my little sister. She cannot hold on much longer."
It would be no problem at all to save her. Qin Wushuang did not take out any powerful pills, just a single and ordinary Nine Reversal Sun Life Pill would be enough.
With the condition of his sister"s body, he still needed to lend her spiritual Qi to help her digest the ordinary Nine Reversal Sun Life Pill or the effects of the medicine would never work.
To an elite warrior of the Profound Void Martial Stage this Nine Reversal Sun Life Pill was an ordinary good, but to a commonplace person as Xiao Guan"s sister, it was the equivalent of holy medicine.
As soon as the effects of the medicine kicked in, the face of the young girl immediately became rosy. After a moment, her breathing became steady. Although she was still unconscious, it clearly appeared she would be alright.
Finally, Xiao Guan could turn his worry into happiness. Shedding tears of grat.i.tude, he said, "Young Master, you saved me again. I…"
"Xiao Guan, get up. It"s a good that nothing bad happened. These two people are your sworn enemies. You can take care of them as you see fit."
As soon as Xiao Guan saw Marquis Fei and Qi Yutang, his eyes blazed with hatred. His entire body trembled as he asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Young Master, are you letting me take care of it?"
"You are not happy?" Mu Rong Xu questioned.
Qin Wushuang pulled Mu Rong Xu"s sleeve to motion her to avoid it.
Mu Rong Xu revealed a light smile and walked out with Qin Wushuang. Two miserable cries echoed behind them, for clearly, Xiao Guan had taken care of the two sworn enemies.
In a moment, Xiao Guan carried his little sister and walked out. "Young Master, thank you. Truly, thank you."
In the end, Xiao Guan was already choking with emotion as he said these words. Initially, he thought that he would die for sure this time. He did not fear death, yet upon thinking of how his little sister was going to die with him at such a young age, he felt his heart clench. Additionally, he had not taken revenge for his family as the enemies were still unfettered and beyond the law.
Each time he thought of this, he resented that the heavenly law was unjust as it did not distinguish between good and evil.
Now, seeing the sky again and having killed his two enemies, how could he not be touched by such drastic changes? How could he not choke with emotions?
"Xiao Guan, a man does not easily shed tears until his heart is broken, a man only bleeds," Qin Wushuang teased.
"Young Master, I…"
"No need to speak anymore. What do you plan next? To return to the Qin Clan or stay at the Nine Raven Empire? You can choose, I will not force you."
Xiao Guan said without hesitation, "Of course I will follow you to the Qin Clan. Young Master, I already said that I will work like an ox to repay you."
"Ok, then prepare yourself. We will head back to the Qin Clan now. You should also cut the grudge on this side, right?"
"Yes, Bandit Fei was the main culprit. With his death, I have achieved my revenge. The other accomplices only listen and follow orders, it would not matter to kill them."
Now, Xiao Guan had come to accept the reality. It was best for a person to stay alive. By regaining his little sister after almost losing her had allowed him to comprehend many life princ.i.p.als.
This crisis that had made the Nine Raven Temple apprehensive was finally over. As Qin Wushuang and his group left the Nine Raven Gulf, the Divine Leaders felt a form of easiness by having gained new leases of life.
Before they thought that surely they would not escape from the calamity, but unexpectedly the other party left in peace as they said. Because Qi Yutang was killed, no one knew whether they should mourn or feel secretly relieved. Regardless, the Nine Raven Temple was saved.
When they left the Nine Raven Temple, Qin Wushuang did not linger and traveled to the Bai Yue Country at a rapid speed. This round trip only took two days.
As Xiao Guan returned to the Heavenly Royal Mansion, it seemed he was welcoming a new life. The Heavenly Royal Mansion was also bustling with activities. All important guests from different parts of the Bai Yue Country had come to pay a visit.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for Qin Wushuang to partic.i.p.ate. He took Mu Rong Xu and wandered around the Great Cang Mountain to enjoy this rare peace.
He knew that for him, this peace was only a momentary luxury.
