Chapter 478 Stirring up Emotions

The Big Master pretended to be relaxed. After Qi Potian and Li Jian came to him, he asked calmly, “How’s it going?”

Although he tried his best to pretend calm, he couldn’t wait any longer actually. Before Qi Potian and Li Jian spoke, he took the initiative to ask.

All the cultivators looked over and waited for Qi Potian and Li Jian’s report. After all, it was about the whole team. But they were also a little confused. They didn’t know why Li Ye and Di Luo didn’t come back. “Is there anything wrong?”

Qi Potian winked at Li Jian. Then Li Jian replied in a wooden tone, “Big Master, we were attacked by a group of fierce beasts 50 kilometers away. Li Congjing died in the battle! Di Luo asked us to come back first to report the situation. He is chasing the fierce beasts to avenge Li Congjing!”

Then, he winked at the Big Master.

The Big Master thought that he understood Li Jian’s wink. He nodded happily. He thought, “Di Luo is capable, and he found a good excuse to kill Li Congjing. Especially, chasing the fierce beasts is the best line. In this way, the rest of the cultivators won’t say anything about it.”

Hearing this, all the cultivators were shocked. “What? Hero Li is dead?”

“How, how could this be?”

“How would such a good man die like this?”

When the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage heard the news, they were in an uproar. In an instant, there was a burst of wailing and sobbing, mixing with all kinds of cries of grief. It was very lively.

“Hero Li is a hero. I didn’t expect that he would be killed by the fierce beasts!” The bearded cultivator looked up at the sky and cried out in pain, and his eyes were red. “Dying before achieving triumph makes a hero cry…”

“He is so young, so charming, and so different. Why did he die so early?” A female cultivator cried.

“God is jealous of talents. It’s unfair! I’d rather be the one who died!”

There was an air of sadness and anger at the campsite. Like dark clouds on their hearts, all the cultivators lost their breath. Even the cultivators, who weren’t touched deeply, couldn’t help but feel sad under the circumstances.

“My hero is dead? I don’t believe it!” Miss Hong Xiu bit her lip and looked at the innkeeper and Wu You. “I don’t believe it. I’m going to find him. Do you want to go with me?”

The innkeeper kept sighing and pretended to cry. She began to wipe away the non-existent tears on her cheeks with her sleeves. Hearing Hong Xiu’s words, she decisively shook her head.

Duchess was rubbing the corners of her eyes with her head lowered. Her skinny shoulders trembled from time to time. She looked very sad. She wiped her eyes so hard that they turned red, but she didn’t shed a tear. She also shook her head at Hong Xiu’s question.

Miss Hong Xiu stood stunned. “Is everyone’s reaction real? Even though Li Ye is dead, you can’t squeeze out a tear.” At that moment, Hong Xiu almost suspected that the other cultivators present were acting.

Hong Xiu felt sad in her heart, and she didn’t see the innkeeper’s strange look. She turned around and was about to leave.

The innkeeper hurriedly grabbed her. No matter how hard she struggled, the innkeeper didn’t let her go. At last, the innkeeper saw Hong Xiu crying sadly and looking pitiful, and even her voice was hoarse. She felt very strange and had to say, “He’s not dead. You stop that now!”

Hong Xiu was confused.

The innkeeper said, “What are you doing there? Sit down and wipe your tears!”

Hong Xiu was speechless.

When the Big Master looked at the innkeeper in the crowd, his silent smile spread on his face, making the corners of his mouth curl to his ears. He didn’t dare to force Miss Hong Xiu because he couldn’t bear the consequence. But for the innkeeper, he had no scruples.

Of course, the Big Master didn’t take action immediately. He had to wait for the cultivators to stop crying, or it would be too disgraceful. Then he had been waiting for four hours, and the cultivators were still crying.

What was worse, a group of female cultivators went to pile up a grave for Li Ye on the ridge. Then they cried more vigorously in front of the grave, as if they had seen Li Ye’s body.

The Big Master wanted to doubt his life. “Do they have such deep feelings?”

Finally, when they stopped crying, the Big Master couldn’t sit still anymore. He went straight to the innkeeper and looked at her unscrupulously with a condescending look, like looking at prey. He had a faint smile.

Then he said in a tone of charity, “Li Congjing was a member of the Killing Hands before death, so it’s my duty to look after his women. Don’t be too sad. If you follow me from now on, I won’t treat you shabbily!”

Although he said that, his eyes were fixed only on the innkeeper. She looked up at him pitifully and showed a sad and grateful smile. She was weak and beautiful. The Big Master looked greedy and couldn’t help saying, “Demon fox, you come with me. I have something to say to you!”

Then he turned around and left. He intended to take her to the other side of the mountain to achieve his wish in the place where the cultivators couldn’t see them.

However, when he flew up to the sky, he found that the innkeeper, who was very grateful to him just now, didn’t follow, which made him a little unhappy. He felt embarrassed and said, “Demon fox, why don’t you move?”

The demon fox stood up in front of everyone, and her face was full of awe-inspiring righteousness. As the Big Master watched in doubt, she suddenly cried sadly. She began to cry at the top of her voice. “I’m not going to the woods with you! You crazy old man! My childe’s remains are scarcely cold yet, but you want to hog me. I won’t do that! Come and see, everyone. This old bastard, he…”

The innkeeper’s exaggerated cry immediately attracted the attention of almost all the cultivators. They all looked over. After hearing the innkeeper’s words, they looked at the Big Master on alert.

The Big Master’s face darkened. He knew that he couldn’t let the innkeeper go on crying, so he immediately snorted and swung his long sleeve. The mighty power of his cultivation swept toward the innkeeper and suppressed her, like a flood. “Shut up! I’m not that kind of person…”

The innkeeper stood unstably and sat down on the ground. The pressure of the Real Immortal Realm made her teeth tremble, but she still tried her best to cry. “Why did you ask me to go to the woods? Everyone heard it! My God! My childe’s blood is not cold yet, but this old man wants to hog me. There is no justice!”

While saying this, she secretly bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood sadly. She fell to the ground, looking very miserable.

All the cultivators immediately looked at the Big Master with murderous eyes.

The bearded cultivator immediately got up and rebuked the Big Master loudly, “You bastard! How dare you be so rude to the hero’s woman! Under the eyes of the public, you failed to force a good woman and then you hurt her. You really think that we don’t exist, so you can do whatever you want…”

His words were righteous, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly vomited blood and flew backward.

The Big Master fought him fiercely.

He looked down majestically on all the cultivators. At the same time, the pressure of his cultivation released without reservation, shrouding the whole place. He sneered. “Shut up! I’m like this. What can you do to me? Anyone who is not convinced, come forward. I want to see who has two lives to be killed by me twice.”
