Ch. 1670 - Madam Cai
The people below originally wanted to argue.
But they opened their mouths, and it seemed like the facts, they had no defense.
“This is Mortal City. Even if you kill us, you won’t have a good end.”
Someone began to back down, trying to reconcile.
“How about we turn swords and daggers into jade and silk? Let this matter end here, what do you say?”
“What do you think?” Xu Zimo smiled faintly.
“I’ve always been very fair. When others want to kill me, I will certainly repay even the smallest grievance.”
Just at this moment, a scolding voice came from outside.
“How long was I away from home, and everything’s already in chaos!”
“Patriarch!”
“The Patriarch has returned!”
“Where’s Mingyue?”
A commotion came from outside.
Before long, a middle-aged man wearing green robes and emanating the aura of a Saint Sovereign walked in.
This middle-aged man was stern and unsmiling.
His gaze was deep, imposing without anger.
Like someone who had long held high position, he gave off an especially strong sense of oppression.
The middle-aged man walked in, looked at the situation in the ancestral hall, and frowned slightly.
Then he looked at Xu Zimo seated at the head.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
“Senior has graced our Luo Clan with your presence. Our hospitality was lacking. Please forgive us.”
The middle-aged man bowed to Xu Zimo.
This gesture shocked everyone present.
You must know this middle-aged man’s identity, he was the patriarch of the Luo Clan, Mortal Sovereign.
Not only had his own strength reached the Saint realm, but he also managed things well. In recent years, under his leadership, the Luo Clan had been flourishing.
Among first-rate powers, they had a vague tendency to rank among the top.
Seeing Mortal Sovereign being so respectful, Luo Feihe, kneeling beside him, hesitantly called out, “Elder Brother.”
“Shut up, you useless thing!” Mortal Sovereign snapped.
He directly kicked Luo Feihe flying.
Luo Feihe’s body slammed hard against the ancestral hall wall, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
“Do you know your crime?” Mortal Sovereign scolded.
“I know my crime, I know my crime!”
With that kick from Mortal Sovereign, Luo Feihe’s body could move freely again.
He hurriedly crawled and knelt before Mortal Sovereign.
He knew his elder brother was truly angry.
Although he was the Second Master of this Luo Clan, in truth, in this Luo Clan, he could only show off in front of servants.
Before Mortal Sovereign and some of the residence’s ancestors, he had no status whatsoever.
He didn’t even doubt that no one cared about his life or death.
“I’m not asking you to admit guilt to me. Go admit guilt to senior!” Mortal Sovereign said with disgust.
Luo Feihe turned around without any hesitation.
He directly crawled toward Xu Zimo, wanting to beg forgiveness.
“Piss off,” Xu Zimo gave a light shout.
That voice was like thunder. At this moment, Luo Feihe was like a kite with a broken string, directly blasted away by powerful force.
The power of this strike was very strong.
This Luo Feihe was thoroughly crippled.
Even if he didn’t die, he could only spend the rest of his life bedridden.
Xu Zimo found even this person’s pleas for mercy disgusting.
“Senior, it’s all because I didn’t supervise the people in the residence well. If you have blame, I’ll bear it all alone.”
“Your bearing my blame, you can’t afford it.”
Xu Zimo said indifferently.
“However, you’re a smart person. And I like talking with smart people.”
Hearing Xu Zimo’s words,
Mortal Sovereign waved his large hand.
He directly ordered, “All direct descendants present today who were guilty shall be imprisoned in the Blood Cavern. They shall not emerge for one hundred years.”
Hearing these words, everyone panicked.
As members of the Luo Clan, they knew better than anyone what kind of place the Blood Cavern was.
Inside the Blood Cavern were basically evil heretics and the Luo Clan’s enemies.
Basically, those imprisoned inside had no hope for life.
Either they died alone in old age, or they killed each other.
If they were put into the Blood Cavern with their delicate bodies, one could imagine the consequences.
However, Mortal Sovereign paid no attention.
He watched as the guards dragged these direct descendants out.
“Patriarch, we were just accomplices!” At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.
“It was Madam Cai who ordered us to do this. She didn’t want Miss Mingyue to return to the residence.”
Hearing these words, a flash of light passed through Mortal Sovereign’s eyes.
Yet he remained unmoved.
Until the pleas for mercy from everyone gradually faded into the distance, only then did Mortal Sovereign look toward Xu Zimo.
“Is senior satisfied?”
“I’ll stay at your Luo Clan for a few days,” Xu Zimo nodded and said.
“Senior may stay as long as you wish. Whatever instructions you have, feel free to say.”
“As it happens, I lack a maid to serve me.”
Xu Zimo looked at Luo Mingyue.
“This girl will do just fine.”
Mortal Sovereign dared not refuse or show unwillingness in the slightest.
The old man beside led Xu Zimo to arrange a resting courtyard, with Luo Mingyue following closely behind.
Only Mortal Sovereign remained.
Not until Xu Zimo left did he take a deep breath.
He slowly closed his eyes.
His originally pounding heart gradually calmed.
He extended his right hand. In the center of his palm, there was actually an eye.
The black and white pupils rotated, very eerie.
This was his secret that no one knew.
The Palm Eye was from the Saint Palace Scripture he cultivated. When this eye was cultivated to major completion, it could even see karmic reincarnation.
Although he had currently only achieved minor completion, he could still use this eye to see through many things.
However, when he had just looked at Xu Zimo, around Xu Zimo’s body was endless annihilation mist.
This was a god of slaughter.
Wherever he went, he would bring destruction.
Especially the overwhelming near-infinite power within Xu Zimo’s body.
Even if just a tiny bit leaked out, it was enough to make him, a Saint Sovereign, feel alarmed.
So as soon as Mortal Sovereign arrived, he dealt with everyone, making sure to satisfy Xu Zimo.
He believed in his Palm Eye.
The warning and trembling of the Palm Eye all told him that the person before him was not someone their Luo Clan could provoke.
After sending Xu Zimo away, Mortal Sovereign also felt somewhat physically and mentally exhausted.
Dealing with so many useless direct descendants, how could he be happy?
He slowly sat down in a chair nearby.
Just at this moment, the sound of gentle footsteps rang out.
Mortal Sovereign slowly raised his head.
A woman wearing a cyan long dress slowly walked over.
This woman appeared to be in her thirties, but was very well-maintained.
Her skin was fair and white, without a trace of wrinkles.
Moreover, she seemed to have naturally seductive features.
Between every frown and smile, people’s hearts found it difficult to remain calm.
The long dress on her body added several degrees of dignity to her.
Making people want to conquer her.
Even in the depths of Mortal Sovereign’s eyes, desire was stirred, but he still forcefully suppressed it.
This woman walked before Mortal Sovereign.
Her delicate jade hands placed at his temples, gently massaging them.
“Master, you should rest.”
Mortal Sovereign looked up, silent for a moment.
Finally, he still opened his mouth and asked: “Mingyue’s matter, was it arranged by you?”
“I don’t know,” the woman shook her head.
She was Madam Cai.
Mortal Sovereign’s wife.
Also one of the people he was most cautious of.
This Madam Cai’s background was very significant, with great connections to the Jade Maiden Palace.
So Mortal Sovereign also showed some courtesy.
If she said she didn’t know, then she didn’t know.
Mortal Sovereign asked no further.
