Zhao Liangqing said, “Please release the people of my Parlour of Clouds and Rain!”
“They’ve committed crimes of forcing women into prostitution and harming young girls. They cannot be released. Oh right, you can’t leave either. As a Hawkwolf guard, I will be investigating you. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.” Li Qingshan had no idea what to say, so he just spouted some nonsense he had heard from his past life. He completely ignored Zhao Liangqing’s great strength as a fifth layer Qi Practitioner.
Zhao Liangqing’s face darkened. “Force women into prostitution? Do you have any evidence?”
Li Qingshan said, “I have a witness!”
Zhao Liangqing said in a sunken manner, “Where’s your witness?”
Li Qingshan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Two guards had grabbed the dejected Qing Xiu.
Zhao Liangqing grabbed Qing Xiu by the chin. “You do have quite some beauty. No wonder he’ll lose his temper over you. You can release the people now!”
Qing Xiu’s eyes teared up as she stared right at Li Qingshan. We really are done for now!
Li Qingshan said, “That’s a lady of your parlour! What’s she got to do with me?”
Zhao Liangqing said, “Oh, fair enough. We can’t keep a troublemaker like her around!” He put his hand on Qing Xiu’s shoulder. Before he could even use any force, Qing Xiu let out a miserable scream.
However, it was immediately drowned out by an even more miserable squeal, frightening Qing Xiu to the point where she closed her mouth. The blade in Li Qingshan’s hand fell, cutting off one of the procuress’ arms. He said with glowing, red eyes, “Why don’t you try to touch her again?”
Those heroes who surrendered after being threatened with a hostage were all idiots. Li Qingshan would never do something like that. You might be vicious, but I’ll be even more vicious!
Ge Jian finally gave up on resolving this matter by himself. This brat had a kind of fierceness and unruliness that came from the mountains and forests, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Everything today was a counterattack against the scheme Zhuo Zhibo had set down, but the entire situation had already developed out of his control. He crushed a talisman, which was used to call for reinforcements among the Hawkwolf Guard; he used this to alert Zhuo Zhibo of the critical situation.
Zhao Liangqing glared at Li Qingshan. He had not done anything, nor was he bold enough to do anything anymore. He could clearly tell from Li Qingshan’s gaze that if he were bold enough to kill Qing Xiu, Li Qingshan would be bold enough to behead the two women. This would be an almost irrecoverable loss to him. On one side was a mere lady who had just been groomed, while on the other side were two important helpers of his. It was obviously as clear as day to him who was more important.
The light in his eyes flickered as he circulated his cultivation method. Before everyone’s eyes, the rather feminine master of the parlour suddenly changed. He became extremely terrifying, like the horrifying demons or ghosts from those legends. An aura of brutality and cruelty crushed down on their hearts. The legs of the guards almost gave way.
He basically roared out, “I said, release them!” Within the Sect of Clouds and Rain, they could use their arts of charm to become as beautiful as ever, enchanting anything and everything, but they could also use it in the exact opposite fashion, turning into demons or ghosts and frightening all people. It was a technique that could directly shake the souls of people. With that, the noisy Parlour of Clouds and Rain immediately fell into silence. Everyone felt like a great horror had descended; they even became afraid of drawing too much attention just from breathing, let alone screaming and fleeing. Even Ge Jian was afraid of looking at Zhao Liangqing’s face. How was Li Qingshan, who had been in the face of it all, supposed to cope with this pressure?
However, Li Qingshan only smiled gently. “I said, release her!” He was a daemon in the first place, and his cultivation had surpassed Zhao Liangqing’s. The reason why the arts of charm were effective against him was because his body was powerful, and his desires were stronger than regular people, requiring the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression to suppress them. However, when it came to frightening people, Zhao Liangqing was basically trying to teach a fish how to swim. He did not even need to use the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression against it. You’re trying to scare me? Would you like me to revert to my original form and frighten you to death!?
Zhao Liangqing saw how it was useless, so he could only give up on it. He stared straight at Li Qingshan. If his glare were a sword, it would have pierced Li Qingshan all the way through already.
“What are you looking at? If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll dig your, no, their eyes out.” Li Qingshan rubbed his blade against the procuress beneath his feet.
“What do you want?”
Li Qingshan pointed at Qing Xiu. “I want my witness!”
“Don’t even think about it!” Before Zhao Liangqing had even finished talking, Li Qingshan had cut off the procuress’ other arm. “I have two anyway. If I kill one, I still have another!”
Chapter 124: Splattering the Parlour of Clouds and Rain with Blood (Three) | Legend of the Great Sage
The procuress squealed, “Save me, sir!” She really was a Qi Practitioner after all. She actually managed to remain conscious despite the pain.
Furong saw the bloody scene and heard how she was next. She screamed, “Save-” But before she could even finish her words, the grip around her neck tightened.
“Stop! Release lady Furong!” The Parlour of Clouds and Rain was thrown into an uproar again.
It was not just the people below. Even the railings from the higher floors were filled with people. Seeing such a rare disturbance, they all began discussing among themselves.
“Isn’t the Hawkwolf Guard backers of the Parlour of Clouds and Rain? Why have they turned against each other today?” News would always make it out one way or another. With how the Parlour of Clouds and Rain ran amuck in Jiaping city, they would have been closed down a long time ago if it were not for the Hawkwolf Guard’s protection. There were plenty of discerning people in the world.
“The kid hit Furong!”
“What! He could actually bring himself to do something like that?!” Many people ground their teeth furiously. They all treated Furong as a goddess from their dreams. Even if she could not be theirs, they would never let someone else just abuse her.
“Look, that’s Furong! She is being held by the neck by that kid!” It led to public anger. In their eyes, Furong was furrowing her brows from pain. Her beautiful face was filled with misery, enough to shatter their hearts. It caused pain to many of them.
“A’ning!” Even though Diao Fei had been smacked awake by Li Qingshan earlier, he was still captivated when he looked at Furong’s appearance. He had to bite his tongue viciously to return to his senses.
Furong’s cry for help spurred many practitioners of martial arts to save her. Those who did not know martial arts cursed furiously as well. Throughout the entire parlour, similar aggressive threats crashed down on Li Qingshan like a tidal wave. “Release lady Furong, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
“Hmph, you bunch of idiots!” Li Qingshan sneered. He did not speak loudly, but it easily drowned out the threats, booming through everyone’s ears.
He only looked at Zhao Liangqing. “Are you releasing her or not?” He had already placed his blade across the procuress’ neck.
