Looking at the tall, ferocious-looking seven-foot-tall man next to the carriage and horse, Ling Tian's expression was very cold.
"Teacher, master!"
Hearing this, the man stuttered even when he spoke.
When the others heard this, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Immediately, fear, panic and other complex emotions were perfectly displayed on their faces.
Some were timid, and their bodies were already shaking non-stop. What's worse, their calves were soft and they sat on the ground, motionless.
"Master? The master of the palace?"
"Isn't that our Demonic Patriarch Ling Tian?"
"Oh my God, Ling Tian? Isn't it right? Are we going to finish?"
"I heard that all the living people who saw him died in the end!"
"So what do we do now?"
…
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Although everyone wanted to escape, they didn't dare. They could only stay where they were, looking at each other.
At this moment, Ling Tian looked at the seven-foot man, and the system's beep sounded immediately.
"Ding! It is detected that the villain Qiu Zhenghe appears nearby. Do you want to use the Eye of Judgment to punish him?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian regretted for a moment.
Because he had killed Zhu Xingxiu three times in one go in order to get 4,000 redemption points, so all the punishments had been used up today.
Otherwise, this would be a great opportunity to kill this villain Qi Zhenghe.
Pity! What a pity!
"Master, are you out for a walk? We are not disturbing your enjoyment, are we?"
Qiu Zhenghe, who originally had a ferocious face and a burly figure, was looking at Ling Tian with a cowardly look on his face, and his heart was in a mess.
After all, he had heard about how the fourth child died.
Moreover, even the fourth child can be killed in such a state of defiance, so dealing with him is not just a matter of one or two moves.
"Evil disciple, why are you digging graves?" Ling Tian asked sternly, not paying attention to the others at all.
When Qiu Zhenghe heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned blue and white.
Oh my God, I'm going to be finished today, totally finished.
I should have guessed a long time ago that there must be something wrong with this corpse, otherwise I, the majestic master of Soul Erosion Hall, would come to pick up a mere corpse.
It's okay now, the masters are out. What to do now
Do I tell the truth
If I don’t tell the truth, Master will definitely kill me! But if I tell the truth, Third Senior Brother will kill me if I go back!
What should I do
I really miss the days when the fourth senior brother took care of everything in the palace.
…
"Evil disciple, I will ask you one more time, why..."
"Master, my disciple told me the truth. Master, please be merciful and spare my life."
Before Ling Tian could finish what he said, Qiu Zhenghe knelt on the ground and quickly begged for mercy.
Everyone looked at him with bewildered expressions on their faces. Even Ling Tian had a dark look on his face.
The majestic Master of the Soul Erosion Hall, who was born with a fierce appearance and was tall and strong, looked like a well-behaved little kitten when he saw him, not even daring to jump around.
"Ding! It has been detected that the villain Qi Zhenghe's loyalty has returned to -50%, and he is a traitor."
"Ding! It is detected that Qiu Zhenghe's loyalty has increased from -70% to -50%, and an additional 500 redemption points will be awarded."
Ling Tian really didn't expect that Qiu Zhenghe's loyalty would recover so easily.
But then I thought about it, with Qiu Zhenghe's character being easily incited and timid and afraid of death, it was really possible to scare him to increase his loyalty.
"Say! If your master finds out that you are lying, you will definitely die."
"Disciple, you don't dare! Disciple was only responsible for collecting the corpse and did not participate in digging the grave. All of this is the order of Third Senior Brother."
Qiu Zhenghe hurriedly explained, fearing that he would be too late, he decided not to kill him on the spot because of his violent temper.
It’s important to save your life!
"The third child? What does he want with Lu Xiuyuan's body? What's his conspiracy?"
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light suddenly shot out.
Qiu Zhenghe was so frightened that the tiger trembled and groaned.
"Disciple, I don't know! Besides, I don't dare to ask any more questions. I came here after receiving the order."
Ling Tian looked at Qiu Zhenghe's cowardly look and knew that what he said was not false.
After all, it would be useless for Lu Xiuyuan's body to fall into his hands. But it was completely different when it fell into the hands of Lin Muxuan.
But what exactly does Linmuxuan want this corpse to do? It really made Ling Tian very concerned.
"Evil disciple, do you think you can get your life back with just this kind of information? Absolutely impossible!"
When Qiu Zhenghe heard this, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. She burst into tears immediately, looking like a resentful woman crying in the street.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
How can the master of the palace sing this? Is it to confuse the Demonic Patriarch
Then, under the leadership of someone unknown, all of them suddenly fell to their knees and started crying, begging for mercy.
"Master of the Demonic Way, you are so kind and merciful, please spare us."
"We and the Palace Master are really following orders. We don't even know what's going on?"
"My deceased grandfather, please beg for mercy for your grandson! Your grandson doesn't want to die!"
…
Listening to the various cries, Ling Tian had a dark look on his face.
It felt like I had died. These people were professional mourners.
"If you don't want to die, shut up."
Ling Tian roared angrily, and no one dared to say a word. A pair of innocent and pitiful little eyes blinked at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian almost vomited blood on the spot.
There really are just as many subordinates as there are different kinds of palace masters. All of them are terribly cowardly.
Ling Tian really didn't know how the Soul Erosion Palace developed.
"Qiu Zhenghe, if you don't want to die, just go back with your master. Otherwise~"
Ling Tian immediately clenched his fists, and then used all the spiritual energy in his body to shake the air around him.
Others had been frightened for a long time, and immediately panicked when they felt the slightest sign of trouble.
Especially Qiu Zhenghe, who was timid and afraid of death. Now he was in a situation where he was begging for mercy, so he agreed immediately.
"As long as Master doesn't kill me, I will do whatever he asks me to do." Qiu Zhenghe chuckled and expressed his stance immediately.
Ling Tian simply lost his sight.
How could I have accepted such a disciple before
The seven-foot tall man with a naturally fierce appearance was as timid as a little lady. This sight made Ling Tian want to go crazy.
"Come up."
Hearing that Ling Tian actually let him ride on the auspicious beast, Qiu Zhenghe was in a state of confusion.
I just felt that this must be another trap of Master.
"Disciple don't dare. Disciple..." Qiu Zhenghe was about to explain.
"Then die!"
Hearing this, Qiu Zhenghe moved like a rabbit. In a flash, without even blinking, he jumped onto the back of the bird and sat upright.
"Master, please sit down, disciple. You can set off back to Jueqing Mountain at any time."
Ling Tian's eyes twitched, he really didn't expect that Qiu Zhenghe was so afraid of death, and his movement skills were so fast that they could even be compared to those at the peak level of the Martial God.
"Hall Master, us?"
The people in Soul Erosion Hall looked confused at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Qiu Zhenghe looked at them and said: "From today onwards, there will be no Soul Corruption Hall in the world. You all should leave, there is no need to wait for me."
When everyone heard this, they all burst into tears.
"Bring the bodies back to me. Otherwise, no one will be left alive." Ling Tian shouted sternly at the two people who were digging the graves.
"yes!"
The two people quickly got up from the ground, picked up Lu Xiuyuan's body and rushed towards Jueqing Mountain.
"Master, we can go."
Ling Tian glanced at Qiu Zhenghe and immediately understood why "he" wanted to accept him as his disciple.
Although Qiu Zhenghe is timid and afraid of death, he is still very aware of current affairs.
Suddenly, Zhu Xingxiu's appearance appeared in Ling Tian's mind.
Compared with Qiu Zhenghe's fear of death, his fear of death is simply fake.
One is pretending, the other is from the heart, even deep into the bone marrow.
"Chongmingniao, go back."
Ling Tian gave an order and immediately jumped away, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while they shouted to the sky.
"Palace Master! We will never wait for you to come back."
When Ling Tian heard this, he knew that these people were imitating Qiu Zhenghe and speaking sarcastically.
Although Qiu Zhenghe was timid and afraid of death, Ling Tian had to guard against him.
Along the way, everyone glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. This shocked Qiu Zhenghe countless times.
"Master, can you stop looking at me like that? I'm afraid." Qiu Zhenghe couldn't help but say it.
"What are you afraid of?" Ling Tian asked coldly. Even though he already knew the answer in his heart.
"I'm afraid of death!"
Qiu Zhenghe was truly honest in the face of life and death.
"Afraid of death? Afraid of death, you dared to rebel in the first place? Afraid of death, you dared to join forces with your senior brothers to kill me? Afraid of death, you still dare to act recklessly and commit evil deeds?"
Ling Tian asked three questions in succession, leaving Qiu Zhenghe speechless.
However, it was precisely because he was afraid of death that he rebelled against the Xuanming Sect; it was precisely because he was afraid of death that he joined forces with Lin Muxuan and Zhuang Gaohan to kill Ling Tian; and it was precisely because he was afraid of death that he acted recklessly and committed evil deeds.
But what can he do
Because he was afraid of death, he didn't dare to say anything at all, and he didn't dare to argue anything.
In fact, Ling Tian knew all this in his heart.
But a mistake is a mistake, especially on issues that touch the bottom line of human principles.
Seeing that Qiu Zhenghe didn't dare to say a word for a long time, Ling Tian asked coldly.
"You really don't know what Linmuxuan wants with this corpse?"
"Disciple, I really don't know. Disciple received a letter from Third Senior Brother early in the morning. It said that if Lu Xiuyuan died on Jueqing Mountain, he must take the body back when he sees it."
Ling Tian frowned slightly, already thinking secretly in his heart.
First of all, how did Linmuxuan learn about Lu Xiu's visit to Jueqing Mountain
How did he know that Lu Xiuyuan would have a battle with him? And it was Lu Xiuyuan who died
Furthermore, what exactly does he want to do with this corpse? Taking the opportunity to frame yourself
Or do you want to instigate Yuanyang Palace and yourself to break the well-watered status quo and enjoy the benefits of the fishermen
Or do you have other intentions
…
A series of doubts came up all at once.
Ling Tian really has no way to answer them one by one at the moment. It can be said that he has not yet come up with an answer to any of the questions.
Even Lu Xiu's actions before his death were incredible to him.
When Qiu Zhenghe saw that Ling Tian was silent, he felt uneasy again.
It was true that Ling Tian was afraid of speaking, and even more afraid of not speaking.
"Master, my disciple has actually thought about Master over the years..."
"Shut up!"
"Yes, Master!"
Qiu Zheng stayed together for a long time before speaking again.
"Master, are we almost there? To be honest, I haven't been back to Jueqing Mountain for a long time..."
"Shut up!"
"Yes, Master!"
After a while, Qiu Zhenghe couldn't help but speak again.
"Master, this disciple is..."
"Go to hell!"
Ling Tian couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Qiu Zhenghe out of the bird's back.
"Ah~ help! Master, I was wrong, save my life!"
Qiu Zhenghe was so frightened that Na Miao turned pale, struggled in the air, and began to wail from the bottom of his heart.
There is simply no aura of the all-powerful master of the Soul Erosion Hall who is full of evil, and he does not have the fearlessness of a master of the Martial God Realm in the face of danger.
Seeing that his master no longer cared about him, Qiu Zhenghe was so frightened that he fainted.
Ling Tian was speechless.
Then the Chongming Bird flew to catch him.
At this moment, Ling Tian finally remembered why he had taught Qiu Zhenghe the Earth-shaking Tiangang Heart Technique and asked him to practice the Earth-shaking Explosive Flame Technique.
The reason is to increase his courage. Who knew that the cultivation level would be improved through practice. But he is more timid and afraid of death than before.
Soon, Chongmingniao carried the two of them back to Jueqing Mountain. The two people who dug the grave before had also brought Lu Xiuyuan's body back.
In order to have the body stolen again by Lin Muxuan or other interested people.
Ling Tian made an exception and buried Lu Xiuyuan's body on the back mountain of Jueqing Mountain.
Returning to the secret room in the main hall, Ling Tian opened his system interface again.
After checking it, I found that Qiu Zhenghe's name was added to the master-disciple relationship.
This did not surprise Ling Tian.
After all, he is so timid and afraid of death that he might be struck with invisible thunder and his loyalty will return.
But Ling Tian didn't expect to bring Qiu Zhenghe back so smoothly.
It always feels like something is wrong.
