Chapter 587: Gone with the Wind
Lin Xuan Qi frowned when he sensed the Qing Feng Sect disciples running around.
So it’s not over for now, huh.
He thought while he decided to give them a ’friendly’ intervention later.
Being at Core Formation Level and in this huge plot of land where he was unbeatable, he wouldn’t have too many concerns about dealing with them.
He was confident that even if Zhao Geng Nian came and confronted him, he would be able to deal with Zhao Geng Nian without too much of a struggle.
"How was it for you?" Lin Xuan Qi walked over to Sima Long and asked.
"Heh. Enough to treat you for a drink." Sima Long smirked while he counted the taels of silver he had.
"Better keep it for Zhang Jie and your daughter." Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and said.
Cough.
The mention of Zhang Jie’s name made Sima Long let out a dry cough.
"Brother Xuan Qi, I’m sure you can help keep a secret for me." Sima Long scratched the back of his head and said with a sheepish smile.
Lin Xuan Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Sure, I will.
"It’s getting late, I think it’s time you should be heading back.
"I have some other things to take care of for now."
He glanced at the workers that were still in the arena.
Sima Long and the others nodded at him and they headed for their horse carriages.
Once they were gone, Lin Xuan Qi waited for the other punters to claim their winnings before he gathered all the remaining workers in the arena.
In the meantime, while he waited, the Qing Feng Sect disciples were still scurrying around checking for anything they could find.
But there wasn’t any.
These Qing Feng Sect senior disciples became frustrated and they began to think about checking on the person that was organizing it.
"Are you sure? The Peak Lord told us not to engage with anyone." One of the senior disciples hesitated and said.
"What are you worried about? From what I know, the organizer is just a businessman.
"We might not even have to use much force for him to spill it all out." Another senior disciple said and everyone else nodded their heads.
They had been stifled and frustrated for the day with how the matches went, and they were more than happy to vent it out on Lin Xuan Qi.
Unknown to them, Lin Xuan Qi was thinking about how to deal with them at the same time.
"Alright, thanks for all the hard work for the day.
"As promised, you will get a bonus of five hundred copper coins tomorrow.
"You can leave this place now."
Lin Xuan Qi said to the workers and they let out a loud cheer at the good news.
They worked hard and were rewarded for it as usual.
All of them bowed at him as they headed for the ox cart and horse cart that was arranged for them to leave.
Once they were all gone, it was time for him to get into action.
He sensed around and when he was sure that no one was in the vicinity, he took out a talisman and directed his Five-Element Qi into it.
The invisible talisman gave out a glow and he began to use the system’s ability on the Qing Feng Sect senior disciples.
"Are you feeling something strange?" One of the disciples said and held his hand to his chest.
And before the others could reply to him, they too held their hands up to their chest, clutching it tightly to try and relieve the pain.
Thud.
They even dropped their swords due to the pain.
"What is happening?" Cold sweat appeared on their brows and their faces turned pale.
Slowly, they felt an oppressive aura descending onto them, making them kneel to the floor from the pressure that was coming down onto their shoulders.
They had never experienced such an oppressive aura before.
All of them started trembling when the realization sank in for them.
Not even the Peak Lord Zhao Geng Nian was a match for whoever was behind the oppressive aura.
They had offended someone they shouldn’t have.
"Sorry... We... are.. just... working under the instructions of our Peak Lord.
"Please let us go... and we can pretend that nothing... happened." One of the disciples mustered all the strength he had left to beg for a way out.
"We can offer whatever we have..." Another disciple said and he started taking out the Spirit Stones and other valuables he had with him.
The others quickly did the same.
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head at their cowardice but it was too late for them.
Once they had started, there was no way he would let them have the chance to bring back information to Zhao Geng Nian.
It was best for them to disappear out of everyone’s sight.
Plop.
He intensified the oppressive aura on them and they dropped to the ground.
"Help..." They begged for help but nothing came out from their mouths.
Crack.
They began to hear the sounds of their skulls and bones being crushed.
Blood oozed out from their mouths, noses, ears and even tear ducts.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably from the pain of their bodies being slowly crushed.
The pain was so intense that all of them blacked out from it.
All of them were dead within moments, regardless of their cultivation level.
However, it was not over.
A fire was lit miraculously and it ravaged the bodies until a pile of dark ash was left.
Then, a strong wind blew at the pile of ash, making it scatter into the air.
Only what was left were the Spirit Stones and valuables of the Qing Feng Sect disciples.
Lin Xuan Qi’s figure appeared and kept all of it.
He had use for them to let Lao Er and Ling Er get started with the recruitment of disciples.
When he was done, he glanced at the sky which was now lit in an amber light.
"Just in time for the Sima Family’s dinner." Lin Xuan Qi said and headed for his horse carriage.
