Chapter 49 What do you take life for?
Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion.
The three monks sat together, and the table in front of them was laden with delicacies.
"Hahaha, so this is what mortal life is like. Endless delicious food and beautiful women. What miserable life we used to live." The older-looking cultivator, who was about forty years old, took a bite of meat, touched the beauty next to him, and looked completely satisfied.
"From now on, this Falling Moon City will be ours. Those cultivators who are stronger than us are just stupid. What's the point of fighting over spiritual land? Even if they do manage to seize it, in the end they'll be just like us. Once the spiritual energy is cut off, those cultivators who could kill us with ease will be no better than us," the third brother said with a smile.
These three are the three Nascent Soul Level 4 cultivators currently residing in Luoyue City.
They all originally wanted to take over Falling Moon City, but they found that no one could do anything to the other. They also found they were kindred spirits, so they became sworn brothers and worked together to rule the city.
"Brother, is it dangerous to let that city lord go? That Sword Pavilion was established by the Sword Sect. It is said that the Sword Sect likes to meddle in other people's business. Let them know about what happened in Falling Moon City..." This person was the second oldest of the three and the most cautious. He was very worried about the city lord who was sent away by his eldest brother.
Only after joining did the eldest brother reveal what had happened.
He thought the older brother was stupid and that if he was going to kill him, he should have killed him cleanly.
What's the point of killing one and leaving one alive?
Unfortunately, once you're on that pirate ship, there's no way to escape.
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother immediately said, "What's there to be afraid of? The spiritual energy is about to be cut off, and the various sects are too busy taking care of themselves to care about such trivial matters."
He also came from within a sect and knew exactly what sects were like.
Righteous sects?
It's just self-aggrandizement!
In his view, the so-called Sword Pavilion was merely one of the means by which the Sword Sect infiltrated other forces.
Which proper cultivator would care about the life or death of mortals? It would be good enough if they didn't become human waste.
He let them go only to save face for the Sword Sect, fearing that the Sword Pavilion people might have a disciple from the Sword Sect standing behind them.
Based on his understanding of sects, it was nothing more than the lives of some mortals; once face was given, the matter would be over.
There are countless similar cases.
Is the Sword Sect somehow special?
"Don't think too much, Second Brother, come on, let's drink!" The third brother poured wine for the second brother.
The second son didn't think much of it and drank it.
The atmosphere grew increasingly heated and decadent.
However, at that moment, the door to their room was kicked open.
"boom!"
The loud noise interrupted the extravagant sounds, and the three cultivators at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage all looked towards the doorway.
The eldest brother roared, "Who is it? Are you looking for death?"
His time in Falling Moon City made him increasingly irritable and careless.
He quickly recognized the person who had come.
It was a group of people, including many he knew.
Lord Wang Bian of Luoyue City, Lord Li Mingxiu of the Sword Pavilion, and many disciples of the Sword Pavilion.
"I'll spare your lives, but do you dare come back?" The eldest brother's face darkened immediately, his anger intensifying.
The second brother immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
He could tell that Lin Yuan was the most important person in the group.
So young yet standing in the very center, he must be a cultivator; his heart sank immediately.
The worst seems to have happened.
Lin Yuan looked at the three people and asked, "Is it them?"
Wang Bian's gaze at his elder brother seemed capable of piercing through a person, as if he wanted to kill them with his stare. He gritted his teeth and said, "The one in the middle killed all his relatives..."
While the eldest brother was still reacting, the second brother immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to say something.
Before he could even speak, the young man in front of him vanished.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in his body and collapsed to the ground.
So fast!
So strong!
He knew that it was the cultivator on the other side who had made the move.
Wang Bian, Li Mingxiu, and the others were dumbfounded.
They never expected that the young disciple from the Sword Sect would be so powerful.
After subduing the three cultivators at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Yuan looked at Li Mingxiu and the others and asked, "In Falling Moon City, are there any other cultivators like them?"
Wang Bian immediately said, "Immortal Master, these three families are currently the most powerful in Luoyue City, and most of the evil cultivators are their subordinates."
"Send men to summon all their subordinates in their name." Lin Yuan sat down on a chair in the room. "Once they've all been arrested, execute them at the execution grounds in Luoyue City."
The tactic of making an example of someone is timeless.
The three cultivators collapsed to the ground, while the other mortal women knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
Lin Yuan looked at Li Mingxiu and said, "Make arrangements for these people."
"Yes, Immortal Master." Li Mingxiu immediately sent someone to take the mortal woman away.
On the ground, all three cultivators were still conscious.
They were simply crippled by Lin Yuan's methods.
Without treatment, their spiritual energy will gradually dissipate until they become ordinary people.
He learned this at the Sword Sect, initially with the aim of extracting information.
I didn't expect to use it here.
The second brother was terrified. He lay on the ground and cried out with all his might, "My lord, this has nothing to do with me. Killing the people from the city lord's mansion was his fault."
He thought Lin Yuan was invited back by Wang Bian and Li Mingxiu to seek revenge.
Simply sever all ties.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with me!" the third brother immediately chimed in, afraid that he would be beaten to death if he spoke too late.
Upon hearing his two underlings' words, the eldest brother panicked: "Sir, please don't kill me! I have a secret! I only know of a treasure trove. If you can spare my life, I'm willing to offer it to you..."
Lin Yuan frowned after listening to the three people's words.
He looked at the second and third brothers and said, "Did you think I came here because of the tragedy at the City Lord's Mansion?"
The second and third brothers looked lost.
Is not it?
Seeing this, Lin Yuan said, "This person isn't the only one wantonly killing ordinary people in the city; you've probably killed quite a few yourself, haven't you?"
"What do you value life to? Do you think it doesn't matter as long as you don't kill someone who has someone protecting them?"
Unbeknownst to him, he was also greatly influenced by the Sword Sect.
Even if it wasn't someone from the City Lord's Mansion who was killed, the Sword Sect would still send people.
Just like Qingshui Village.
The second and third brothers immediately understood what he meant.
They couldn't possibly survive.
The third brother immediately burst into curses: "A disciple of the Sword Sect, huh? You're just putting on an act, coming all this way for some insignificant mortals?"
"Cultivators and mortals are no longer on the same level; who would be so kind as to meddle in other people's business?"
"You are different. You call these people mortals, but you still know the difference between immortals and mortals. You are no different from us."
Lin Yuan remained calm and said, "Is this your idea? I understand. But judging from your appearance, you probably can't even enter a meditative state, let alone cultivate."
Seeing such a calm reaction, and having his situation guessed, the third brother found it hard to accept and continued to curse, but Lin Yuan quickly shut him up.
