C1387 Beheading to the Public
As they retreated, these black-clothed cultivators seemed to have come to an agreement. They didn't have any intention of staying in the Soaring Fire City any longer. Instead, they directly flew out of the city. Furthermore, their positions were extremely scattered. They wanted the people of Ling family to stay. He was tired of chasing after them.
"This isn't fun anymore. I want to stay in the Ling family..."
Looking at the scattered cultivators, Xu Feng was speechless. These people were fleeing for their lives outside the city. What should he do?
It wasn't that he couldn't use the Ghost Dance, but that he had to stay in the city. However, there were still pursuers from the Ling family behind them. If he used the Ghost Dance now, he would be completely exposed.
Rolling his eyes, Xu Feng looked around. He adjusted his position and flew towards the direction where there were more people. Soon, he followed the group of black-clothed practitioners and left Soaring Fire City. As soon as he left the Soaring Fire City, he found a hidden place. Using the Ghost Dance, he returned to the city.
Throughout the whole process, without anyone noticing, he circulated his Yuan energy and removed the smell of blood from his body. He removed his black clothes, changed into his pajamas, and laid down, pretending that nothing had happened.
This night was destined to be a restless night. When Xu Feng returned to his residence, there were already people from the Ling family searching the streets below. Without a doubt, they wanted to find the cultivators who had caused trouble tonight.
Although a large portion of them had already left Soaring Fire City, there were still some cultivators who hadn't left yet, or perhaps they hadn't had the time to leave yet.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
Not long after lying down, there was a knock on the door from outside, followed by a voice, "Open the door! Open the door!"
"Who is it! It's here!"
Xu Feng's lazy voice came slowly. He opened the door unhurriedly and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He muttered discontentedly, "What is it? It's midnight. What is it? ”
"Cut the crap!"
The newcomers were naturally the cultivators of Ling family. They pushed Xu Feng away, and after searching for a while, they returned to Xu Feng. "What's your name? What business do you have in Soaring Fire City? You don't know what happened in the city tonight?"
" My name is Feng Xun, a rogue cultivator. I fell asleep. How did I know what happened in the city? It's so strange! "
Xu Feng's brows were filled with dissatisfaction. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand impatiently. "If there's nothing else, then hurry up and leave. I still need to sleep!"
When the leading cultivator saw Xu Feng's expression, although he felt indignant, he didn't find any fault with Xu Feng. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and left.
If it was any other time, it would definitely be a battle if Xu Feng dared to speak to them in such a manner. However, the Ling family was in chaos right now, and they didn't dare to cause any trouble. That was why they "let" Xu Feng go.
...
A night's time had passed during the interrogation of the Ling family's cultivators. Everyone in Soaring Fire City knew that the Ling family had been 'attacked' by countless masked cultivators, which had ignited their desire to watch the show.
Xu Feng had already experienced this kind of phenomenon. These passers-by just stood there and talked without feeling any pain in their waist. They weren't afraid of getting into big trouble. In short, the more chaotic the situation was, the more excited they became.
Although these people were just watching the show, they also wanted to see the Ling family make a fool of themselves. After all, the major families would always do things in a domineering manner. They wouldn't let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
"The Ling family has been attacked by someone again!"
"Isn't that so? This time, all three gates of the Ling family have been destroyed!"
"It's better not to talk about such things. Right now, the Ling family is still angry..."
This kind of sound could be heard everywhere as they walked on the streets. The sound of discussions could be heard for a long time. At this moment, the dignity of the Ling family had become a joke.
The faces of the Ling family cultivators who were walking on the street were gloomy. They could only pretend not to hear this kind of discussion.
In the past, they were the wild beasts of the Soaring Fire City. But now, they could only temporarily keep their fangs. Otherwise, they would be humiliated even more.
As the victor of this chaotic battle, Xu Feng was sitting leisurely by the window of the teahouse, enjoying the delicious food while admiring the chaotic Soaring Fire City below.
Before coming to Soaring Fire City, he had said that he would make Ling family pay the price. The development of this matter had far exceeded his imagination. After this incident, the Ling family would be just like the Tuoba family of the past. It would become the laughing stock of the entire North Domain.
"Both families are doing this because of me. It seems like I still have some ability!"
Xu Feng was secretly pleased with himself. Although he hadn't been in North Domain for a long time, he had caused a lot of trouble.
This kind of ability wasn't something that could be achieved just by having strength.
"Attention to the whole city! Attention to the entire city!"
Just as Xu Feng was sipping his tea, Ling Ruijie's deep voice came from above the Soaring Fire City. The originally lively Soaring Fire City had gradually quieted down.
After last night, Ling Ruijie did not rest and had been handling the matters at home. Only now did he manage to repair the four broken doors. At this moment... It was time for those people who came to the Ling family to pay the price.
"Last night, a group of motley crew invaded the dignity of the Ling family. Although some of them escaped, the other group has fallen into the hands of the Ling family!"
The voice stopped for a while, then came again, "In two hours, these people will be executed by the Searing Flame Punishment Ground as punishment!"
"Quick, go to the Ling Huo Punishment Ground!"
As soon as Ling Ruijie finished speaking, all the practitioners rushed towards the Searing Flame Punishment Ground like a swarm of bees.
The execution ground of the execution ground was a place with a lot of lives in the North Domain. This was the execution ground of Ling family, which was specially designed to execute some of their enemies. It was a place with 49 different kinds of torture methods, and it was extremely cruel.
The reason why the people of the Soaring Fire City were so excited after hearing this was because the Ling family hadn't used the execution ground for a long time. Judging from the actions of the Ling family, Ling Ruijie was indeed furious.
"Let's go and take a look then!"
Although these cultivators didn't know each other, they had fought side by side the previous night. They could be considered comrades. Since Xu Feng couldn't save them, it could be considered as sending them on their way.
Very quickly, Xu Feng arrived at the Searing Flame Execution Ground. There was already a sea of people here. Regardless of whether it was the sky or the ground, it was already filled with people. It was imaginable how many people were there to watch the show.
On the execution ground, more than twenty cultivators were kneeling on the ground. They were wearing black masks, and their hands were locked by shackles. Their meridians were sealed, and some of them were injured.
Beside them, the people from the Ling family were holding huge sabers, and they stood there like executioners. Their faces were cold and stern.
"Open!"
Ling Ruijie, who was sitting in the center of the execution ground, looked like a judge, and his face was gloomy. At his command, the black hood was pulled open, revealing the kneeling cultivators. Their faces were also revealed. These people had messy hair, except for a few middle-aged men. The rest were all white-haired old men.
"Ignorant ant ants. How dare you offend the Ling family? What crime do you deserve?!"
Ling Ruijie's voice was like a drumstick that fell into their hearts. However, in the eyes of those kneeling cultivators, there was no fear at all. On the contrary, there was a sense of relief, happiness, and madness in their eyes.
"Crimes? What crime?!"
An old man swept his eyes across the surrounding cultivators and wanted to stand up. However, he was pressed down by the executioner beside him. However, this didn't stop him from speaking, "Hundreds of people from my Chen Family were killed by your Ling family, leaving me with no choice but to live a life of my own. I have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and I have come here today to seek revenge. How can I say that I have committed a crime? "
"So it's the people of the Chen Family!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they all said in their hearts. However, apart from shaking their heads and sighing, no one else could help this old man. After all, going against the Ling family was akin to courting death.
"The same goes for the Qian Family!"
"Isn't it the same for my Lin Family?"
"He killed my parents. Now that I'm an old man with white hair, how can I not take revenge?"
...
The words of the elder from the Chen family had gained the approval of many cultivators. If it wasn't for the fact that their Yuan energy had been sealed and they were unable to unleash their strength, even if they were seriously injured, they would still risk their lives to make the Ling family pay the price once again.
Which of the people who dared to bet everything on the Ling family didn't have a deep-seated hatred towards them?
"Hmph, the winner takes all. It's useless no matter what you say. Kill!"
With a cold snort, all the cultivators of the Ling family raised their sabers. The blades raised and fell, and more than twenty heads fell to the ground. Their hatred towards the Ling family had fallen into the Yellow Spring, and their blood was red. It slowly seeped out like a bright red rose.
"Hang their heads outside the walls of Fire City as punishment!"
After Ling Ruijie finished speaking, he stood up and left the execution ground, allowing the surrounding practitioners to have different opinions.
This execution was done cleanly and neatly. Ling Ruijie didn't use any torture instruments, all for the sake of creating this visual effect. He wanted to tell the world that those who offended the Ling family would definitely not be spared.
"Hiss..."
Heads fell to the ground, and there were more than twenty of them. Such an effect... Naturally, it was not bad. The surrounding people all drew a cold breath. The cultivators of the Ling family picked up the human heads that had died with everlasting regret. They walked towards the flexible city wall, leaving more than twenty headless corpses. They were lying on the execution ground.
"Everyone!"
On the execution ground, most of the people from the Ling family had left. Ling Hua stood out and said, "The Ling family doesn't want to offend anyone, but they aren't afraid of anyone. After today's incident, I hope all the fellow daoists will respect themselves!"
After saying that, Ling Hwa also left the execution ground. Looking at his back, Xu Feng shook his head.
The last time he saw Ling Hwa in the teahouse, he had a pretty good impression of him. However, after today's incident, he didn't think so anymore.
Ling Hwa had heard what he said just now, but he didn't question his father. In other words, he knew about what Ling Ruijie had done to Ling Ruijie. This also meant that Ling Ruijie and his son... They were people who would do anything to achieve their goals.
In his heart, Xu Feng actually didn't want Ling Hwa to be such a person. After all, Ling Hwa was Yingying's lover. Xu Feng didn't want their relationship to hurt Yingying.
