The two of them were face to face, trembling and stuttering in their conversation. Although their voices were small, Mi Xiaojing could still hear them clearly.

 

In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn't plan to do anything to the two of them. He just wanted to understand Hong Qing's situation. After all, he had fought with Hong Qing and knew that this guy wanted to kill him. Mi Xiaojing would naturally be concerned.

 

A group of cultivators heard Mi Xiaojing's order to leave and immediately ran out, stumbling and calling out, "Thank you, sir, thank you, senior…"

 

Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh and cry. He was robbed and deceived, yet they still said thank you. This was beyond his imagination.

 

"There are still many mansions to the west of the foot of the mountain…"

 

Mi Xiaojing said softly.

 

The crowd was originally heading east, but after Mi Xiaojing said this, they immediately turned around and headed west. Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but smirk. He had no intention of protecting the Heart Sect. As long as they didn't come to his place, the more chaotic, the better.

 

The group of people disappeared outside the courtyard, leaving the two lying on the ground.

 

Zhang Ke moved a stone stool and asked Mi Xiaojing to sit down, just a little in front of their heads.

 

After Mi Xiaojing sat down, he said, "Turn over!" The two of them were lying face down, and when they heard Mi Xiaojing's words, they trembled even more. Turning over meant extreme danger, but they didn't dare to object and obediently turned over.

 

Mu Xiaoyin couldn't help but chuckle. She found the two of them extremely funny.

 

Chen Zhong and Chen Ergou's appearance was really funny, like two dogs lying on their backs.

 

Mi Xiaojing said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you…" He gave them a peace pill first. Otherwise, he felt that they would be scared to death. Their bodies were shaking like sieves, and their teeth were chattering.

 

As soon as Mi Xiaojing finished speaking, the two of them stopped trembling. As long as they didn't die, everything was negotiable.

 

"Thank you, Master!"

 

"Master is a good person…"

 

Looking at the two flattering smiles, Mi Xiaojing was speechless. They were cultivators after all. They should have some dignity, right? Mi Xiaojing suddenly understood that these two would not achieve much. They probably couldn't even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Qi Refining stage. If cultivators didn't have a bit of character and temperament, it would be difficult for them to progress. This was the difference in realms.

 

"What is Hong Qing doing now? Is he in his own mansion or in the Grass-Benevolence Hall?"

 

"You mean Master? Oh, we really don't know what Master has been doing lately…"

 

Chen Zhong heard that they wouldn't be killed, so he spoke fluently. However, his answer didn't satisfy Mi Xiaojing.

 

Luo Bo was holding an iron rod on the side. He didn't understand much, but he knew Mi Xiaojing's likes and dislikes. When he saw Mi Xiaojing frown slightly, he raised his hand and struck one of them with the rod. "Answer properly! Not killing you doesn't mean I won't beat you!"

 

This strike and reprimand made Luo Bo ecstatic. He felt so refreshed.

 

Mi Xiaojing didn't stop Luo Bo. This guy deserved a beating. Mi Xiaojing didn't like killing, but that didn't mean he wouldn't hit someone. He said, "So, where is your Master?"

 

Chen Ergou glanced at Chen Zhong, who was holding his stomach, and hurriedly said, "Don't hit, don't hit, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

 

"Master, Master is in the mansion, he has always been there. He hasn't been out recently, but we really don't know what he's doing. He doesn't even see us."

 

"He hasn't met any guests or gathered anyone?"

 

"No, really not, I swear!"

 

Chen Ergou raised both hands, looking innocent. Mu Xiaoyin couldn't help but chuckle again. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw these two who used to bully others in such a sorry state. She really despised them.

 

Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment. These two guys were like dead dogs, not moving at all.

 

Luo Bo, bored, held the iron rod. He wanted to hit Chen Zhong or Chen Ergou again, but he couldn't find an excuse for it at the moment. So he just poked Chen Zhong or Chen Ergou when he had nothing to do. Neither of them dared to make a sound. Fortunately, Luo Bo didn't use much force. Even if they were poked, it didn't hurt. They didn't even show an angry expression, just a pleasing smile as they looked at Luo Bo.

 

Even Mi Xiaojing was disgusted by this. He said, "Be serious, stop fooling around!"

 

Luo Bo immediately became spirited and raised his hand to strike one person with the rod. "Stop laughing!"

 

The two of them felt wronged. They were just trying to please, and they were still being beaten? They couldn't live like this.

 

After a while, Mi Xiaojing waved his hand and said, "Go, you have nothing to do with me anymore. Remember, don't spread rumors outside!"

 

The two of them swore that they wouldn't, helped each other up, but didn't dare to leave immediately. They looked pitifully at Mi Xiaojing, afraid that they had offended him again.

 

Luo Bo took the opportunity to hit their buttocks with the rod and shouted, "Get lost!"

 

Only then did the two of them leave stumblingly. When they ran, they didn't even dare to look back.

 

Should he go and kill them while the sect was in chaos?

 

No, he should discuss it with Wang Weijun.

 

Mi Xiaojing focused his mind on his dantian and began to summon Wang Weijun.

 

Then he saw Wang Weijun emerge from the Heart Tower and sit next to the puppet, still wearing a green robe and having white hair and beard.

 

Wang Weijun had just stabilized his cultivation level, and his Elemental Infant was no longer on the verge of collapse. He was in a better mood.

 

"What's the matter?"Mi Xiaojing recounted the changes that had occurred within the entire sect, and then mentioned that Hong Qing had not left his own estate.

 

Wang Weijun pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems the enemy is quite formidable… Hmm, I believe… you should take the initiative to attack, set an ambush outside Hong Qing's estate! Take him out proactively!"

 

If one intends to annihilate the opponent, there should be no dilly-dallying or dragging of feet. To take out the opponent, one must attack proactively. This was a belief deeply ingrained in Wang Weijun. No mercy, no passivity, no hesitation, dealing with the opponent swiftly and cleanly was the best approach.

 

"A dead enemy is a good enemy!"

 

Mi Xiaojing listened in astonishment, but he also somewhat agreed in his heart. He knew what it felt like to have an enemy lurking in the shadows, it was a complete unrest, forcing him to keep his family within the courtyard, unable to venture out. It was truly unbearable.

 

Wang Weijun said, "Actually, killing Hong Qing is a minor matter. The real threat is the people attacking your sect… You'd better prepare early. In the Cultivation World, once a sect extermination battle occurs, basically all cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above are targets for slaughter. The so-called 'nip the evil in the bud', they won't spare any cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Do you know why?"

 

"Because, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage already possess infinite potential. If one or two escape, it's tolerable. But if many escape, heh heh, once any one of them succeeds, the retaliation will be terrifying. Such incidents are numerous in the Cultivation World, with all kinds of legends and cruelty. They dare not take the risk." (To be continued.)
