Luo Bo was absolutely fearless in fights, and his strong momentum made people with higher cultivation levels than him want to avoid him. When they saw him coming, they couldn’t help but panic. This fearless momentum was probably related to his childhood experiences.
More than forty people didn’t run away, they were all beaten and lying on the ground. Anyone who dared to get up would be beaten by Mi Xiaojing and Luo Bo. Soon, everyone understood that they would get beaten if they got up, but nothing would happen if they stayed down. So they all obediently lay on the ground, waiting for Mi Xiaojing to deal with them.
These people regretted it deeply in their hearts. They had robbed without restraint and didn’t stop when they should have. Now they were really in trouble. If they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, they would be in big trouble.
Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, “Take off the cloth on your faces!”
These low-level cultivators were all scared. They knew that they were going to be held accountable. What should they do? They definitely couldn’t win in a fight. The other party was at the Foundation Establishment stage, while they were only at the Qi Refining stage. There was a natural gap in cultivation levels that couldn’t be crossed. They were all on the verge of tears and could only obediently take off the black cloth covering their faces.
Mu Xiaoyin looked at them in astonishment. Many of them were familiar faces, including low-level cultivators from Grass-Benevolence Hall. They all looked at Mi Xiaojing with fear.
Mi Xiaojing had encountered a robbery once before, but he turned the tables and robbed the robbers instead. That time, he even obtained a storage bag, and this time he had the same idea.
He didn’t want to kill these people. As an Evolutionary Immortality cultivator, he had a strong concept of cause and effect. Unless the other party wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t actively kill them. This was different from his philosophy.
“Luo Bo, search them. Don’t leave anything for them.”
Luo Bo instantly understood Mi Xiaojing’s meaning and became overjoyed. He said, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it! Haha!” He was also a person who was afraid of poverty. If he had the opportunity to rob, he wouldn’t let it go.
“Do we need to strip their clothes?”
Many of these people were dressed gorgeously, which made Luo Bo have the urge to strip them.
Mi Xiaojing actually had the same idea, but as a senior cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.
These low-level cultivators were instantly terrified. If they were stripped naked, they would really lose face and wouldn’t be able to show themselves in public anymore. They wailed and begged for mercy.
Mi Xiaojing said, “Forget about the clothes, take out everything else. Hmph, if you don’t take them out, then we’ll strip you naked! Put your things on the ground.”
The spirit stones were taken away without saying a word. The storage bags were also taken. Then they selected the things they needed. Mi Xiaojing took some useful items, and then Zhang Ke searched around, Luo Bo searched around, Wei Fu searched around, and the others also searched around. There weren’t many things left that they could keep.
Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing didn’t allow them to strip their clothes. Not to mention that Luo Bo had the urge to do so, Zhang Ke also had the same urge. He was responsible for the logistics of Gathering Spring Branch, so he saw everything as useful. Mi Xiaojing only selected what he could use, but after going through Zhang Ke’s hands, there was really nothing left.
These low-level cultivators suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They realized that Mi Xiaojing was only robbing them and didn’t plan to send them to the Law Enforcement Hall. As long as they escaped, they could still rob others. Although they had lost a lot, as long as they escaped, they could still make up for it.
Mu Xiaoyin asked in a low voice, “How should we deal with them? Should we send them to the Law Enforcement Hall?” In her concept, when encountering such a situation, sending them to the Law Enforcement Hall was the correct choice.
This question made all the low-level cultivators break out in a cold sweat. If they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, they would really be finished.
“Senior, spare us! We admit our mistakes, please don’t send us to the Law Enforcement Hall!”
Mi Xiaojing originally didn’t plan to send them to the Law Enforcement Hall. After finding so many things, if they were sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, these things would probably not be left.
One cultivator shouted for mercy, and everyone else followed suit.
There was a chorus of voices.
“We admit our mistakes!”
“We admit our mistakes, please don’t send us to the Law Enforcement Hall!”
Mi Xiaojing smiled. He said, “Admit your mistakes? How do you admit them? How do you get punished?” It was unexpected that there would be such a good thing, which instantly improved his mood.
Among this group of people, Mi Xiaojing recognized a few of them, including Hong Qing’s disciples, Chen Zhong and Chen Er Gou, as well as Xiao Liu, who had fought Luo Bo before. They were all lying on the ground, admitting their mistakes.
Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, “Alright, since you want me to punish you, then I’ll make a request. Those who can’t fulfill it will be sent to the Law Enforcement Hall!”
“Senior, we agree! We agree!”
This time, everyone agreed without hesitation.
In fact, these low-level cultivators didn’t have much wealth. Mi Xiaojing couldn’t demand a price that they couldn’t bear. He only fined them with some spirit stones, ranging from ten to a few pieces.
For a low-level disciple, such as a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator, they might not even gain a few spirit stones in a year. Even if they were fined more, they couldn’t afford it.
The spirit stones that Mi Xiaojing demanded were within their means. Each person left their name, address, and a written confession. In the future, if they had spirit stones to exchange, they could use them to redeem their confession. No one opposed these conditions, and Mi Xiaojing gained an additional income of spirit stones.
Mi Xiaojing didn’t suffer any losses. On the contrary, he gained a large sum of spirit stones, so he was in a good mood. His attitude towards these low-level cultivators also improved. He said, “Alright, you can go now. Remember, come back with spirit stones to redeem your confession.”
Actually, when Mi Xiaojing saw the written confessions, he was a little dumbfounded. They had even robbed Mo Yuer’s mansion. They were really audacious. They should know that Mo Yuer was the daughter of Sect Leader Mo Chentian. If they were caught, it would really be life-threatening.With this kind of confession letter, Mi Xiaojing was not afraid that they wouldn’t come. This was leverage, holding these people’s weaknesses in his hand, they dared not refuse.
“Right, that Chen Zhong, and Chen Ergou, stay. The rest of you can leave!”
Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou broke out in a cold sweat. They used to think about taking revenge on Mi Xiaojing, but ever since Mi Xiaojing advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, they completely chickened out. This time, the two of them were at the back of the group. As soon as they entered, they saw Mi Xiaojing and were almost scared to death. Neither of them were knocked down by Mi Xiaojing, but rather, they consciously lay on the ground, terrified without even being hit.
They didn’t expect that Mi Xiaojing would let everyone else go, leaving only the two of them.
Chen Zhong’s face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely. He trembled as he said to Chen Ergou, “We’re done for, we’re going to, going to, going to die.”
Chen Ergou had a mournful look on his face, and he stammered, “What, what, what should we do? Should, should we, should we bring, bring the master out?”
“Even if the master comes, it won’t help. They, they are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, they are our peers.”
