Chapter 189 Confiscating Property and Exterminating the Entire Family!
Chapter 189 Confiscating Property and Exterminating the Entire Family!
Those so-called powerful families in the capital city have tried to kill him time and time again.
Now that he has the time, it's time to settle things one by one.
"Senior Brother Li, what price do you intend to make those major families pay?"
Someone asked tentatively.
The story of Li Wudao's valiant deeds had already spread like wildfire throughout the capital, and everyone knew about it.
He was very curious: if even the Second Prince had been killed by his own senior brother, what would be the fate of the major families?
Under the watchful, breathless gaze of all the disciples.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed across Li Wudao's lips as he chuckled softly, "Confiscate their property... wipe out their entire family!"
The words fell.
The disciples, their faces slightly frozen, couldn't help but swallow hard, their hearts filled with fear, and their eyes unconsciously carrying a hint of apprehension.
Even more surprisingly, some people subconsciously took a few steps back.
Senior Brother Li is too ruthless. He spoke in such a gentle tone, yet he could utter words that sent chills down one's spine, all without batting an eye.
They all secretly warned themselves that they must be more careful in the future and never offend anyone.
Otherwise, not only will you suffer, but your family genealogy might also be destroyed.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Li Wudao looked at them with amusement, "Don't worry, as long as you don't have a blood feud with me, I won't go so far as to kill you all."
"Junior Brother Li... oh no, Senior Brother Li..."
A young man, with a long face and a joking tone, said, "Maybe you shouldn't explain... the more you talk, the more scared I get."
“Junior Brother Li, you have frightened my fragile, pure and young heart. I urgently need a large sum of spirit stones to comfort me.”
"Ouch... I just got a leg cramp, someone help me... I think I can still be saved."
"Take him away, he can't be saved. I suggest cremating him on the spot."
Soon, amidst a chorus of playful laughter, the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Looking at the young men lying on the ground trying to extort money, Li Wudao put his hand to his forehead and sighed.
I have a feeling that these people are wasting their talents by coming to the Xuantian Sect. They should go to an opera troupe, where they might have a better future.
"Senior Brother Li, which one should we go to first?"
someone asked.
After a moment's thought, Li Wudao decided, "Let's go to the Marquis of Zhennan's residence first."
When he first arrived in the capital, the first person he clashed with was Meng Yan, and many of the troubles that followed were more or less related to Meng Yan.
Therefore, the Meng family must be destroyed.
Not long after.
Led by Li Wudao, more than twenty disciples of the Xuantian Sect dispersed and hid among the crowd, heading towards their common destination.
..........
The Zhennan Marquis's Residence.
Located in the inner city of the imperial city, the mansion was not built on flat ground, but on a tall blue stone platform.
There are more than ten white marble steps in front of the gate, and one has to look up to see the vermilion gate.
From a distance, the entire Marquis's mansion resembles a majestic lion crouching, exuding authority without a word and giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
"Tsk tsk, this location and feng shui are quite extraordinary. It seems Meng Zhenhu has put a lot of effort into it..."
Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, Li Wudao was slightly surprised.
Unfortunately, after today, the owner of the mansion will no longer be surnamed Meng.
Standing before the white marble steps, Li Wudao cleared his throat and made a domineering promise, "Fellow disciples, I will not take a single penny of the spoils from the confiscation; it will all be yours."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Xuantian Sect were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
They had thought this trip would be nothing but unpaid hard labor, never expecting that Li Wudao would actually give them all the benefits; it was a truly unexpected delight.
"Don't be too happy yet. Keep a close eye on them later. Don't let any of them slip through the net."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Li, today even a fly won't be able to get away from me!"
Many disciples looked excited, rubbing their hands together, full of enthusiasm.
Judging from this magnificent mansion, one can infer that the Meng family is quite wealthy and will surely return with a full load of goods.
"What are you guys doing?"
At this moment, two burly guards at the gate noticed something amiss and strode forward, urging, "This is a restricted area of the Marquis's residence. All unauthorized personnel must leave immediately!"
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he instead swept his gaze over with a mocking look.
The two guards, enraged, drew their swords, cursing, "What the hell are you all doing? Don't you know where you are? This isn't a place for you to run wild..."
"Get out of here before I lose my temper, or else..."
Suddenly, two sword lights flashed, and the two guards' cursing stopped abruptly. They clutched their necks in terror and lay on the ground with blood trickling from their mouths.
"You bastard, you've got a taste of cursing!"
A thin young man sneered, flicked the blood off his longsword, stepped over the corpses of the guards, and strode ahead toward the main gate.
Without hesitation, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked.
With a muffled thud, the expensive vermilion gate was smashed open, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
"Who dares to cause trouble at the Marquis's residence? Do they have a death wish?"
"Arrest him first, and wait for the Marquis to return so he can be punished!"
The commotion quickly attracted several guards, who drew their swords and tried to capture the thin young man.
"It's a pity that your lord will not be coming back."
The thin young man sneered.
The guards' expressions changed drastically, and they demanded, "What do you mean?"
However, the thin young man offered no explanation. With a cold expression, he drew his sword in an instant and swiftly killed all of them.
After doing all this, he jogged over to Li Wudao and said respectfully, "Senior Brother Li, please!"
"May I have your name?"
Li Wudao looked at him with great interest.
He had seen everything the other party did; it was very much in line with his style and pleased him deeply.
"Replying to Senior Brother, my name is 'Zhou Bai'."
"I'll remember you. Go on, I'll give you a reward later."
"Thank you, Brother Li."
..........
Looking at the thin young man's back, Green Turtle stepped forward and said strangely, "Young Li, have you noticed that this person has some of your characteristics?"
Li Wudao remained noncommittal, "Perhaps..."
He didn't know if it was similar to Zhou Bai's, but he liked Zhou Bai's capable and decisive style of doing things very much. If he was properly trained, his future achievements would definitely not be low.
Soon, led by Zhou Bai, screams echoed throughout the Marquis's mansion.
Li Wudao strolled leisurely around the Marquis's mansion, and anyone who saw him, regardless of gender, was doomed to die instantly.
"You bastards, who gave you the audacity to burn, kill, and loot the Zhennan Marquis's residence?!"
"Stop! This is all property of our Marquis's manor; you cannot take it!"
Hearing the faint, familiar sounds of cursing coming from the backyard, Li Wudao's ears twitched slightly, and he strode inside.
Upon seeing him approach, several Xuantian Sect disciples quickly put down the rare medicinal herbs they were carrying and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Li..."
"Okay, you guys continue, don't worry about me."
Li Wudao waved his hand.
Immediately, his gaze fell on a disheveled young man not far from the treasure chest, who was lying on the ground, bruised and battered, groaning in pain.
The young man also noticed him, and the two locked eyes, their expressions contrasting.
"Li...Li Wudao, it's you?!"
Meng Yan was shocked, and his face quickly darkened.
He had thought these people were a group of notorious bandits, never imagining that they were brought by the very people he hated most!
"Why can't it be me?"
Li Wudao countered with a question, then leisurely walked forward, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
