Li Yao said calmly.
However, as he spoke, his gaze swept across the distance.
"Show mercy!"
Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
Soon, two figures appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Jing?!"
"Senior Jing?!"
"Madam Jing?!"
Xu Changqing and the other people from Shu Mountain were both surprised and delighted to see the newcomers.
"Jingtian, Xuejian, it's been a long time!"
Li Yao looked at the newcomer and smiled slightly.
The visitors were Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian.
Jing Tian looked older, like a middle-aged man.
Tang Xuejian was still as beautiful as ever, young and pretty, but her attire had changed to that of a woman, making her look somewhat old.
"Jing Tian?!"
"He's my grandmaster?!"
Li Xiaoyao was taken aback.
His father, Li Sansi, was Jing Tian's apprentice.
Therefore, Jing Tian is his true grandmaster.
What surprised him even more was that Li Yao actually recognized his grandmaster.
"Senior, Senior's wife, how have you been?"
Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian bowed very respectfully to Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
Now, Jing Tian no longer addresses Li Yao as "Senior Immortal".
He looked much older, no longer as childish as when Li Yao first met him.
"Brother Jing actually knows them?"
Xu Changqing was quite surprised to see Jing Tian being so respectful to Li Yao.
"Several years ago, I went to Yong'an Pawnshop to look for you, but your son said you had gone on a journey."
Li Yao said.
"Xiao Lou told me about this, and Xue Jian and I both guessed it might be you!"
Jing Tian nodded.
"Then why did you end up here again?"
Li Yao asked.
"Previously, Xuejian and I were traveling around Mount Hua when suddenly a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. We discovered that it was coming from Mount Shu, and we felt that something was happening in Mount Shu."
"So, we rushed here immediately!"
"Unexpectedly, just when we were about to arrive, we suddenly became unable to move."
"However, soon a giant hand descended from the sky, and many people were sucked into the air. At the same time, we also found that we could move again."
"Then, we rushed here immediately, only to find that you were preparing to kill Sect Leader Xu and the others."
"What exactly happened? Why did you kill them?"
Jing Tian asked, puzzled.
"There's no reason why, I just don't like them and want to kill them!"
Li Yao was too lazy to explain anything.
"???"
Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian were completely bewildered upon hearing this.
This senior colleague is still the same as before, his words and actions are unpredictable.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao quickly walked over, bowed to Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian, and said, "Grandmaster, Grandmother, hello. My name is Li Xiaoyao, and my father is your disciple."
"Oh, so you're Li Xiaoyao! You've grown so much!"
Jing Tian nodded slightly.
However, at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to Li Xiaoyao.
Because he was concerned about the safety of Xu Changqing and Mount Shu.
Li Xiaoyao, being adept at reading people, quickly recounted the whole story to Jingtian.
Chapter 600 Death penalty may be waived, but punishment is unforgivable.
"I never imagined that the Heavenly Emperor would become so heartless and ruthless!"
Jing Tian listened to Li Xiaoyao's account, and his expression was very complicated.
In fact, he had already sensed that Fuxi had changed a lot and was no longer the Fuxi he admired.
With Chonglou's help, he had already regained his memories of his previous life, Feipeng.
It was precisely because he had restored Fei Peng's original form that he became extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the inhumane heavenly laws of the divine realm and with Fu Xi's actions.
Therefore, he preferred to stay in the human realm and live a carefree and happy life with Tang Xuejian rather than stay in the divine realm.
Now that he has learned that Fuxi is using the Shushan Sect to control the human and immortal realms, he is even more disappointed in Fuxi.
However, he still had deep feelings for Mount Shu and Xu Changqing.
So he began to plead for leniency:
"Senior, as you know, all of this was done by the Heavenly Emperor. Headmaster Xu and Mount Shu were kept in the dark!"
"They made mistakes, but not enough to warrant death!"
"Senior, could you please let them off this time for the sake of me and Xuejian?"
Tang Xuejian, who was standing to the side, nodded heavily in agreement with Jing Tian's words.
"Fine, I'll spare their lives for your and Xuejian's sake!"
"However, the death penalty may be waived, but the punishment will not be absolved!"
"They are unable to distinguish right from wrong, and are willing to be used by Fuxi, causing many human tragedies!"
"Therefore, they must be punished as they deserve!"
Li Yao's expression hardened, and he formed his right hand into a claw, grabbing at the air.
In an instant, Xu Changqing, Dugu Yuyun, and other disciples of Mount Shu were all pulled into the air as if by a powerful suction force.
At the same time, they were horrified to discover that the spiritual energy within them was surging outwards at an alarming rate.
"Senior, the Drunken Sword Immortal has already left Mount Shu, and he has helped Ling'er and me a lot along the way. Could you please show some leniency?"
Li Xiaoyao quickly pleaded for Situ Zhong.
"Alright, considering that he once helped Ling'er and hasn't done many evil deeds, we'll forgive him this time!"
With that, Li Yao flipped his right hand and slapped Situ Zhong away.
"Senior, Sect Leader Xu, he..."
Jing Tian wanted to plead for Xu Changqing.
However, Li Yao interrupted him, saying, "Xu Changqing is heartless and ungrateful. He has long forgotten Zixuan's three lifetimes of love for him. He is unforgivable. I have already shown him extraordinary mercy by sparing his life. You don't need to waste your breath pleading for him."
Jing Tian had no choice but to shut his mouth and looked at Xu Changqing apologetically.
At this moment, Xu Changqing's eyes were slightly closed, his heart was ashen, and he had already taken everything lightly.
As for the others, they were ashen-faced, as if they had lost their parents, their faces filled with regret and helplessness.
Li Yao absorbed all the spiritual power of Xu Changqing and the others, then swept his ring towards the sky, sending Little Fire, Yellow Bird, and a group of spirit beasts, strange beasts, beast soldiers, and the Heavenly Ghost Emperor back into the ring's space.
Upon seeing this, Jing Tian and Tang Xue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
This senior Li Yao is indeed unfathomable; he actually possesses such extraordinary abilities.
"Jing Tian, do you know that I once left a mark on you!"
Li Yao asked the question.
"Ah? So that mark was left by our senior!"
Jing Tian was surprised.
"Was that mark later removed by Chonglou?"
Although Li Yao had already suspected this, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Yes, Red Hair noticed a mark on my body and removed it for me!"
Jing Tian nodded.
"It really is Chonglou!"
Li Yao couldn't help but sigh. Chonglou was able to discover and remove the mark he left on Jingtian, which showed how profound Chonglou's cultivation was.
"Senior, Madam, the matter of Mount Shu is settled. Xuejian and I will return to Yuzhou City first. If you have time, you can come to Yong'an Pawnshop to find us."
Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian bid farewell to Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
Go!
Li Yao and Xiao Bai nodded slightly to them.
