"Will you go with us on your own, or should I cripple you and then take you away?" The white-robed monk with a sword on his back looked at Liu Xun and said, his tone full of an unquestionable attitude.
"Why should I go with you? Kneeling to the heaven, kneeling to the earth, kneeling to my parents, am I doing something wrong? Or... can you kneel down to anyone at will?" Liu Xun narrowed his eyes and responded in a cold voice.
"Great Immortal, this man is a good person. If it weren't for him, our village would have been massacred by bandits!" At this moment, many villagers in the village began to speak for Liu Xun, but before they could finish, they were blocked by the white-robed monks.
"You can judge a person by his face but not by his heart. If he is a good person, why did he attack our people? I think he is just a bandit! And your village is in cahoots with the bandits. What crime should I accuse you of?" the white-robed monk said in a cold voice.
After the words fell, the surrounding villagers dared not speak. This is how the world is. The words of the strong are the truth! Liu Xun knew that these three people obviously wanted to frame him and avenge the disciples of their sect.
"It's okay, it's just a trip, right? I'll go with you!" In order not to drag down the villagers, Liu Xun had no choice but to make this choice, because even if he refused, he couldn't refuse, as the three monks who wanted to hijack people... had already locked onto him.
"Brother Liu Xun..." Nalan Ling'er looked at Liu Xun, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Liu Xun smiled, motioned her not to speak, and looked at Nalan Qing'er.
"Qing'er, you must remember, this is how the world is. There is no so-called reason, only strong and weak! No matter how unreasonable the strong are, they are still reasonable, and no matter how reasonable the weak are... they are still unreasonable!" Liu Xun conveyed this sentence to Nalan Qing'er with his eyes, and then he was taken away by the three innate monks who were lying on the ground.
Liu Xun was taken away just because he rebelled against the so-called orthodox family! He sighed in his heart. If this is the so-called orthodoxy, then this world...
"Hey, kid, now you know that this world is wonderful, right? Here, you don't need to be bound by anything, and you don't need to be afraid. As long as you have the power that is invincible in the world, you can get everything you want! Women, power, wealth, all depend on your strength!"
"If you are strong enough, you can own these things! On the contrary, if you are not strong enough, even if you own these things, you cannot protect them!" Qilin Ci's words rang in Liu Xun's heart.
Liu Xun took a deep breath and responded: "This should be the era you mentioned where there is no right or wrong, no good or evil, right? Everything depends on strength, the strong prey on the weak, and the weak... will always be dominated."
"Hehe, what do you think? Do you need me to kill these six people? There are no outsiders now." Qilin Ci asked with a sneer.
"No need. They came to this village, so there must be some sense in the sect. If we kill them, Nalan Village will suffer a disaster! After all, your soul was found here, so we owe Nalan Village a favor." Liu Xun responded calmly.
"You are still not cold-blooded enough. You will slowly realize in the future that kindness... will only lead you into a desperate situation step by step! This world is not the Earth!" Qilin Ci sighed and stopped talking.
...
The three monks who were trying to hijack people flew in the air at a very fast speed. In just one stick of incense, the group of seven arrived in front of a cliff. The cliff was as high as the clouds, and below it was a river with a slow and fast flow.
The surface of the river was pitch black, and looking down at it made people feel palpitating. There were countless whirlpools on the dark river surface. At this moment, the white-robed monk with a sword on his back suddenly threw a huge rock down from the front of the cliff. The rock fell into the whirlpool and was immediately swallowed by the whirlpool.
"What is this place? Why did you bring me here?" Liu Xun said as he stood on the edge of the cliff. This was the first time he had seen black water, and it was a whole river with a vast surface that seemed to have no end in sight.
"This is called Ming River. Legend has it that there is a road leading to the underworld underneath!" The white-robed monk walked up to Liu Xun and explained. Liu Xun frowned when he heard it and wanted to leave the edge of the cliff. For some reason, this Ming River made him feel palpitations just by looking at it.
However, just as he was about to leave, the monk in white suddenly blocked Liu Xun's way and said with a smile: "What do you think if this is your grave?"
"Just because I offended three of your disciples, you want to put me to death?" Liu Xun narrowed his eyes and asked back.
"There is no need to question our various schools of thought, so you must die!" The monk in white seemed to be saying something insignificant.
Liu Xun snorted coldly, his expression hidden under the mask was a little cold. He has never been a good person. Since the other party wants to kill him, and this place is very far away from Nalan Village, even if the six of them have an accident... he will not suspect the villagers.
"Kill them!" Liu Xun said to Qilin Ci, but Qilin Ci did not respond to Liu Xun. Just when Liu Xun was puzzled, the white-robed monk hit him on the chest with a palm.
He had no time to think about what was happening. A huge force came and Liu Xun fell from the cliff into the river. As soon as he touched the surface of the river, Liu Xun felt a strong tearing force coming, and his body began to spin on its own, and then he was sucked into a whirlpool...
"If the headmaster knows about this, it won't be good, right?" A monk in black said with a sneer. The monk in white smiled calmly and said, "Did you see anything?"
"I saw it. A bandit was captured by us. Then when he was returning to the sect, he fought desperately and slipped and fell off the cliff!" the black-robed monk said casually.
"Well, it's getting late, we should go back!" The white-robed monk glanced down coldly. A mere innate junior without a sect dared to go against them. In the eyes of the white-robed monk... this was seeking his own death!
This is how the world is. Killings can happen because of a disagreement or even if someone doesn't like someone else!
...
The river water was as black as ink, and there was an intimidating aura in the water. Just looking at it from a distance made people feel uncomfortable, let alone being trapped in it.
As soon as Liu Xun entered the water, he felt a strong tearing force. Although he knew that this might be caused by the power of the surrounding whirlpool, he was simply unable to resist this force.
The whirlpool was so big that when looking down from the cliff one could only see densely packed whirlpools. However, when one fell into the river, one realized that one whirlpool was tens of meters in size.
The dark river water poured into his mouth, and the strong tearing force destroyed his body. He groaned. Although Liu Xun had many puzzles in his heart, he could not think too much at the moment. (To be continued)
