Chapter 0275 – Heaven’s Net – The Absolute Return

These words from Jian Wuji were naturally spoken to Sword Immortal Li Xuoxin.</p>

He got up and walked over to Li Xuexin, bowed respectfully, and said, "I hope you’ll forgive me if I was rude earlier and failed to formally greet senior."</p>

Li Xuoxin’s gaze was like a torch as he carefully sized up Jian Wuji. When they first met, he was surprised by Jian Wuji’s aura and cultivation, and now that they had met again, he was even more impressed.</p>

"Cultivating demonic powers, yet being able to maintain such clear eyes is rare." Li Xuexin secretly said.</p>

His gaze, shifted to the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon standing behind Jian Wuji, remembering the words the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had said earlier, "Perhaps, he will change."</p>

Could it be that, by change, he was referring to this Demon Sect Young Lord?</p>

Li Xuexin asked in a deep voice, "What you just said, can it be true?"</p>

"The late generation originally thought that senior should already know about this matter. If senior knew about it, I’m sure he wouldn’t have sat back and watched." Jian Wuji replied in an unassuming manner.</p>

Li Xuexin had only come this time to fulfill his promise to his old friend to protect Qin Xiajun’s safety, and he was not clear or concerned about the circumstances of the matter.</p>

"Are you saying that everything you said is true?" Li Xuexin reconfirmed.</p>

"A thousand times true." Jian Wuji replied affirmatively, "Xu Qing brutally killed innocent passersby in order to satisfy his desire to kill, even the disciples of my Heavenly Demon God Sect. On top of that, there were other victims. I happened to be in Hunan at the time, and when I learned of this matter, I intended to take action to punish Xu Qing, but I was blocked by the Martial Alliance."</p>

When Li Xuexin heard this, his face instantly became gloomy as he turned his head to look at Qin Xiajun and asked in an icy tone, "Young warrior Qin, is this matter true?"</p>

If Qin Xiajun admitted to this matter, given Li Xuexin’s character, even if he was the grandson of a martial arts ally, he would never forgive him lightly.</p>

Qin Xiajun understood Jian Wuji’s intentions, the other party was trying to use Li Xuexin’s hand to get out of his current predicament.</p>

"This matter is true." Qin Xiajun frankly admitted.</p>

Li Xuexin burst into a rage and was about to snap, but was interrupted by Qin Xiajun’s next words.</p>

"However, things are not as simple as Young Lord Sword said." Qin Xiajun continued, "There is another point that Young Lord Jian did not make clear."</p>

He turned his head to Xu Qing and said, "For Xu Qing’s crimes, I also intend to punish him severely."</p>

Qin Xiajun knew that this was the best time for him to get rid of the Thousand Flowers Sect.</p>

"What do you want to do with him?" Lee Hak-sin asked.</p>

"I intend to imprison him in the Thunder Prison for life." Qin Xiajun replied without hesitation.</p>

Li Xuexin looked at Qin Xiajun suspiciously, suspecting that he was excusing himself.</p>

Qin Xiajun met Li Xuoxin’s gaze frankly, knowing that he could do this or not. But he believed that he would ultimately choose justice.</p>

Seeing Qin Shajun’s determined eyes, the anger in Li Xuexin gradually calmed down. He had watched Qin Shajun grow up since he was a child and knew that he was an upright and kind child.</p>

"I believe you." Lee Hak-Shin said.</p>

"Many thanks for senior’s trust, senior will live up to senior’s high expectations." Qin Xiajun said respectfully.</p>

In his heart, he was secretly glad that he hadn’t been blinded by greed and ultimately chose to give up on annexing the Thousand Flower Sect. In hindsight, this was undoubtedly a wise decision.</p>

However, Lee Hak-Shin’s anger didn’t completely dissipate, he just shifted his target.</p>

He turned his head towards Xu Qing, a cold light flashing in his eyes. In his opinion, killing to pay for one’s life was natural and righteous, and even if Xu Qing was imprisoned in the Thunder Prison, it would still be hard to eliminate the hatred in his heart.</p>

When Xu Qing saw Li Xuexin’s icy cold eyes, he was scared out of his wits and stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.</p>

"Don’t come over yet!" Xu Bai chided in a significant voice.</p>

Li Xuexin was in a rage, and if Xu Qing was any more insensitive, he was afraid that his life would be in jeopardy.</p>

"Quickly go! Acknowledge your mistake to Senior Sword Immortal!" Xu Bai Chong anxiously transmitted his voice, "Beg him to spare your life!"</p>

"Father, I …… don’t want to go to Thunder Prison! It’s too scary there! I’ll die!" Xu Qing cried out and transmitted his voice.</p>

"Shut up! This is not the time to be capricious!" Xu Bai Chong angrily rebuked, "If you don’t want to die, obediently listen to me!"</p>

Xu Qing was reprimanded by Xu Bai Chong, and only then did he tremblingly walk to Li Xuoxin.</p>

Xu Bai Chong hurriedly transmitted his voice to Qin Xiajun for help, "Young warrior Qin, please, save my son!"</p>

"Senior Sword Immortal has already made his move, so there’s nothing I can do." Qin Xiajun helplessly transmitted his voice, "Sect Master Xu, you’d better persuade your son to properly admit his mistake."</p>

Xu Baizhong heart secretly screamed bitter, he knows, Li Xuexin is famous for the iron face of selflessness, want to let him open up, I’m afraid it is more difficult than the sky.</p>

Just then, Xu Qing had walked up to Li Xuoxin.</p>

Li Xuexin stared icily at Xu Qing and asked, "What you just said, can it be true?"</p>

Xu Qing stammered, not knowing how to answer. He subconsciously looked at Xu Baichong, hoping that his father would help him out.</p>

Xu Bai Chong hurriedly said, "Senior, my son is young and ignorant, and was confused for a moment, so I hope that senior can be lenient."</p>

"Confused?" Li Xuexin sneered, "Can murder be explained by confusion?"</p>

Xu Bai Chong was dumbfounded.</p>

"Why did you kill someone?" Li Xuoxin stared at Xu Qing and asked in a stern voice.</p>

Xu Qing was intimidated by Li Xuexin’s aura and trembled in fear, stammering, "I …… I …… I’m drunk …… "</p>

"Drunk?" Lee Hak-Shin’s tone became even colder, "Then why did you kill the others?"</p>

"I ……"</p>

Xu Qing didn’t know how to explain, he raised his head and begged, "Senior, please, spare me!"</p>

"Why should I spare you?" Li Xuoxin angrily rebuked, "You killed so many people, shouldn’t you pay the price?"</p>

Xu Qing was so frightened by Li Xuoxin’s anger that his mind went blank.</p>

Right at this moment, a strong anger suddenly surged in his heart. Ever since he was a child, he had been held in the palm of his hand, when had he ever been wronged like this?</p>

"I killed them, so what?" Xu Qing suddenly roared hysterically, "I killed them and I’m happy! I felt immense excitement when I saw them in pain!"</p>

The whole room was shocked at these words.</p>

Everyone looked at Xu Qing with a look of a monster.</p>

Xu Bai Chong rushed to Xu Qing and slapped him hard.</p>
