Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 959 - 494: The Burlap Sack (Part 3)

Of course, with such forced extortion, the common people, although swallowing their anger, dare not make a sound. Yet it has also sparked extreme dissatisfaction among the local natives, the rich and powerful. After all, these profits were once theirs to squeeze!

Thus, local rich families continue to act violently, secretly masquerading as bandits, robbing and killing those fallen Capital nobles in retaliation. There are constant reports of assassins from the Demon Sect’s rebel army murdering entire families, causing the political situation to become increasingly precarious, with scholars from the north and south fighting relentlessly.

In short, the situation is as rotten as this, looking like it’s about to collapse. But Tie Dan knows these damned things still have a long life ahead, no need to care about them.

So he casually found a deserted temple on the outskirts of the city to land in, slaughtered and killed all the resting aristocratic families inside, and temporarily released that certain someone for a breath of fresh air.

"Woo woo, spare my life! Great King, have mercy on me! I’ll do anything!"

This Marquis Xichang’s Commandery Princess is quite skilled, immediately assuming the standard position to apologize, tears streaming down, kowtowing for mercy, terrified of being torn into bloody strips and thrown into the pot like the others.

Meanwhile, Tie Dan casually crumpled the remnants of the Nascent Soul General whose heart and lungs had been torn out, folding them into a stool, sitting horizontally,

"You’re from Xiao Fa, right? What’s your name?"

"I, I am Bao Qin, Marquis Xichang’s daughter, whimpering... My father is currently commanding troops in Zhenzhou, begging the great king to spare my life and let me go home. My father will surely reward generously..."

In this life-or-death moment, Xiao Baoqin is also using all her skills, whimpering while trying hard, craning her neck, and thrusting her chest, desperate to bounce out the soft white assets for the great king to see.

But Tie Dan just rolled his eyes, calculating with one hand, weaving spells with the other, his hands were spotless, yet the sky was filled with blood claws like bats, raging everywhere, tearing hearts and gouging bellies, grinding the ground’s corpses into morsels, rubbing them into handfuls of Blood Coins and tossing them into the blood pot to cook,

"I know Marquis Xichang, he’s also a wine sack and food bag, but among drunkards he’s barely useful.

Fine, I’ll spare your life. Go back and tell your father to hand over all the Immortal Silk in Zhenzhou! Gather ten thousand catties to ransom your life! Otherwise, I’ll slaughter your whole family!"

Xiao Baoqin was shocked, scared ashen-faced for a moment, almost fainting, holding back fear and tears begging for mercy, if it weren’t for the other’s sheer terror keeping her down, she would’ve likely thrown herself at his feet,

"Great King... begging, begging the great King to have mercy... Needless to say my worthless life isn’t worth a single bolt of Immortal Silk, even binding all of Xiao Fa’s mansion can’t gather such a number..."

"Huh!? Still want to reason with me!? Then I’ll reason with you!"

Tie Dan raised a hand to grab, remotely brought Xiao Baoqin over, pinched her face in his hand. Blood light flared from his eyes, glaring directly into her beautiful eyes,

"I ask you! Why did you leave Shi Gui behind and run off alone! Did you send her into Prince Dong’s Mansion!"

Xiao Baoqin, in a moment only seeing the fierce blood shadow, piercing eyes like swords, magic voice looming, terrified as if her soul was flying, her cheeks hurt by the pinch yet unable to faint, collapsed crying,

"Woo woo... I, I didn’t want to... But, but... I didn’t want to marry an old man! Caged like a canary in the Forbidden Palace my whole life—! Wahh——"

Tie Dan stared at her for a while, then released his hand, throwing her to the ground,

"I know. People from the palace, birds of a feather, always thinking only of themselves."

Xiao Baoqin lay prostrate on the ground, tears brimmed, flowing down, unable to lift her head, just whimpering,

"Gui, Gui-mother she..."

"She is dead."

Tie Dan crossed his legs, only closed his eyes to rest, practicing his skills without another word to her.
