Seeing that Ye Li agreed to his request, Hu Qingshan seemed to be relieved. He began to tell Ye Li the detailed route to Zimu Peak and guided Ye Li forward.
Following Hu Qingshan's instructions, Ye Li began to run in the forest.
Knowing that Li Xifeng and the others had already set out, Ye Li did not dare to delay and activated the Feng Qing Huan. He turned himself into a gust of wind and rushed towards the Zi Mu Peak.
On the Zimu Peak, Li Xifeng, Tie Xiaohua, Chen San, Chen Wu and Lin Shiyu, whose injuries were under control, arrived here early in the morning.
Along with them came two Spirit Sea Stage talisman masters who were temporarily hired for the past two days.
They knew that there were three Spirit Sea Stage leaders in the Mangxiong Village, so they brought two of them with them. Although they could not defeat the other side, they could barely protect themselves.
After all, it was a temporary task. It was a very rare thing to find two Linghai-level talisman masters who were willing to accept the task within three days.
It's not that they didn't think about asking Ye Li to come along, but when they thought about the fact that Ye Li himself was the target of Xie Qi's revenge, if they brought him along, it would inevitably intensify the conflict.
Their safety is a trivial matter. The red beans are in the hands of the other party, which makes Li Xifeng and others full of worries.
As soon as the group reached the top of the mountain, they saw Xie Qi. He was chatting and laughing with a man dressed as a fair-faced young man. There were two strong men with similar faces next to him, who were also chatting and laughing.
In addition, there were about twenty thugs from the Mangxiong Village, looking very brave and guarding the surroundings.
The moment Lin Shiyu saw Xie Qi, his eyes turned red, and his face showed anxious anger. He shouted from a distance: "Xie Qi, where is my granddaughter? You, a coerced villain, actually attacked a child."
His words made Xie Qi frown, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his originally smiling face.
Xie Qi looked up at Lin Shiyu, Li Xifeng and the others, snorted coldly, and said: "What are you shouting about? You have to understand clearly that you are here to beg me to release them, so you'd better be humble.
I never said I was an upright hero, I was just a bandit leader, I was despicable and shameless, I bullied the old, weak and disabled, and that was what I was supposed to do. "
Xie Qi did not feel the slightest bit ashamed for what he had done. Instead, he had a smug look on his face.
Xie Qi's shameless reaction made Lin Shiyu unable to say a word he originally wanted to say. He could only hold a sullen tone, and with a flushed face, he kept repeating the four words "despicable and shameless".
The words he originally wanted to use to accuse the other party became meaningless when he saw that the other party had no shame.
Xie Qi watched Lin Shiyu and the others being humiliated, and after laughing triumphantly for a few times, he suddenly snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, did you bring the spirit stones and people with you!?"
Li Xifeng gently pulled Lin Shiyu who was still muttering, then suppressed his anger and said, "I brought you the spirit stones you wanted, and we also brought a thousand more high-quality spirit stones.
Brother Ye is just a guard we hired to maintain order at the venue. We have no right to ask him to come here today. The extra 1,000 spirit stones are our conditional exchange."
Hearing Li Xifeng's words, Xie Qi raised his eyes and glanced at them, as if looking for Ye Li's figure.
After a long silence, Xie Qi said with an expression of noncommittal, "Where is the spirit stone?"
Hearing that the other party would no longer ask about Ye Li, Li Xifeng hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a big bag from his arms and put it on the ground.
The pocket is very heavy, and judging by the size, if it is spirit stones, there are indeed several thousand of them.
Xie Qi winked at the subordinate next to him, and that subordinate was about to step forward to collect the spirit stones.
Li Xifeng didn't wait for the other party to make a move and shouted, "Wait, we have brought the spiritual stones, where are the red beans?"
Speaking of Hongdou, Lin Shiyu and everyone else showed nervous expressions on their faces and kept looking around.
Xie Qi curled his lips and whistled towards the back.
Four people appeared from the hillside not far behind him.
The four of them were working together to lift a wooden cage. Hongdou, who had been captured a few days ago, was lying in the cage. She seemed to have fainted and looked unconscious.
"red beans!"
"red beans!"
The moment Lin Shiyu and others saw Hongdou, they shouted excitedly.
Seeing that Hongdou had no reaction, Lin Shiyu immediately shouted at Xie Qi anxiously, "What happened to Hongdou? Why didn't she react?"
Xie Qi sneered and said, "This little girl was very noisy and cried all the way. I was too lazy to endure her noise, so I just knocked her out to save trouble."
As he spoke, Xie Qi clapped his hands, and the four strong men carrying the cage immediately stopped and put the cage on the ground.
Then, one of the four men pulled a water bag from his waist, reached into the cage, and poured the water in the bag onto Hongdou's face.
After being splashed with cold water, Hongdou woke up slowly with a moan.
When she raised her eyes, she saw that she was still locked in the cage, and she burst into tears again.
Hearing Hongdou's crying, Lin Shiyu's old eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to cry. Li Xifeng and others all had distressed looks on their faces.
"Don't be afraid, Hongdou. Be good and don't cry. Grandpa is here!"
After Lin Shiyu choked for a moment, he suddenly started shouting.
Suddenly hearing her grandfather's voice, Hongdou, who was crying loudly, immediately raised her head and looked towards Lin Shiyu.
"grandfather!
Grandpa, Grandpa Xifeng, Grandma Xiaohua, Fat Grandpa, Thin Grandpa, Hongdou is so scared!
"Woo woo woo..."
Hongdou called out several people's names one by one and suddenly started crying again, which immediately made Lin Shiyu and the others feel heartbroken.
"Xie Qi, we have brought the spirit stones with us, you can finally let him go now!"
Lin Shiyu suppressed the anger and pain in his heart and shouted at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi showed an expression that said, "Don't be in a hurry. Bring the spirit stone here first. I'll check it first."
Knowing that Xie Qi would definitely not let him go since he couldn't see the spirit stone, Li Xifeng no longer tried to stop him from coming to get the spirit stone.
The men that Xie Qi had just ordered quickly came to Li Xifeng, picked up the huge sack on the ground, and then walked back to Xie Qi.
Xie Qi and several people around him looked at the sacks on the ground with greed. Even though they were the bosses in the village, the temptation of thousands of high-quality spirit stones was still too great.
After opening the bag, Xie Qi activated his spiritual power and began to count the spirit stones in front of him.
A talisman master at the Linghai stage could use the power of his spiritual consciousness to count out thousands of high-quality spirit stones in a very short time.
