C4271 Admitting His Guilt and Punishment!
C4271 Admitting His Guilt and Punishment!
Xiao Heng sneered in his heart, feeling a little helpless.
He was more worried about the man standing behind Qin Daoyuan, Chen Xiao.
Without a doubt, the three cultivators who were sent to steal were missing together. It was too strange. In addition, something had happened in Baishi City, so there must be a reason.
If this matter was done by Qin Daoyuan, then it would be fine. It would not be difficult to settle it. What he was afraid of was that Chen Xiao would interfere and it would be very troublesome.
"Elder Heng, why don't we send someone to find Qin Daoyuan and talk to him?"
At this time, a deacon of the Xiao Family suggested.
Xiao Heng tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, let's talk. Send you."
"Yes."
The deacon of the Xiao Family heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a disciple of the Xiao Family ran in angrily and shouted, "Elder, bad news, bad news. Someone is looking for us."
"What?"
"Who is it? Could it be Qin Daoyuan?"
Hearing that, all the cultivators of the Xiao Family in the hall stood up in unison, and they were in an uproar.
Xiao Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little scared. He immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"It's Qin Daoyuan and Zuo Zhao," the disciple of the Xiao Family hurriedly said.
"This..."
Xiao Heng's face stiffened, and he was stunned on the spot. His heart instantly turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The situation that he was most afraid of had still happened. What should he do?
Before he could react, two sharp figures flew in from outside the hall and stopped steadily.
They were none other than Qin Dao Yuan and Zuo Zhao.
"Xiao Heng, long time no see." Qin Dao Yuan's face was cold, and there was a hint of gloating hidden deep within.
To him, he didn't like Xiao Heng. He felt that this person was too sinister and unscrupulous.
And to the entire Qin Clan, if something happened to the Xiao Clan, the Qin Clan would naturally benefit.
Xiao Heng felt a little guilty. He glanced at Qin Dao Yuan, then glanced at Zuo Zhao.
"What do you mean?"
Zuo Zhao sneered and said, "Elder Xiao Heng, come with us. This is the lord's intention."
"Lord Chen Xiao?" Xiao Heng's heart tightened as he asked.
"Yes," Zuo Zhao said in a low voice.
Qin Dao Yuan stood at the side and continued to watch the show. He didn't say much. He really wanted to know how Chen Xiao would deal with the Xiao Clan this time. It was not easy to get a handle on them.
Facing the immense pressure from the two of them, Xiao Heng's neck tightened.
"Sir Zuo Zhao, may I ask why Lord Chen Xiao is looking for me?"
"What is it? Don't you know?" Zuo Zhao asked.
"This..."
"Alright, stop dawdling. Let's go," Zuo Zhao urged, not giving Xiao Heng much time.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng sighed. After giving a few instructions, he followed the two of them.
After Xiao Heng left, the cultivators of the Xiao Clan in the Xiao Mansion on the Heavenly Sea Island immediately fell into chaos, like ants on a hot pan.
But very quickly, they discovered that outside the Xiao Mansion, there were even more powerful cultivators surrounding it, sealing it tightly, like a prison.
Only then did the Xiao Clan members realize the severity of the situation.
Inside the Cloud Pavilion.
Zuo Zhao brought the person to him and cupped his fists, saying, "Captain, I've brought him."
As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Heng, who unwillingly stepped forward, "Xiao Heng greets the Third City Lord."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at Li Hongzhong, who was beaten into a pig's head and covered in blood. He was also shocked.
He originally thought that Chen Xiao had brought him here to use him as a guinea pig to attack the Xiao Clan, but he didn't expect that the first to attack him would be Li Hongzhong.
One had to know that Li Hongzhong had a great background, and his status in the Wushuang Dynasty was not low.
Chen Xiao actually dared to be so ruthless to him? For a moment, Xiao Heng became more and more terrified and uneasy.
"Hmph." Li Hongzhong also recognized Xiao Heng, and his face turned cold as he snorted.
In his heart, he became more and more despairing, and he looked at Chen Xiao in a new light.
This person had some skill. Even Xiao Heng was easily manipulated by him, so it was better not to struggle.
"Do you recognize this person?" Chen Xiao asked.
Hearing that, Xiao Heng smiled bitterly, "Yes, he is Li Hongzhong. His brother is Li Zhan, and the current Wushuang Divine Emperor is his uncle."
"Oh, that's good. I caught him in a hidden valley. At that time, he was smuggling goods. According to him, you were the one who colluded with him, Xiao Heng. Do you plead guilty?"
Chen Xiao questioned him indifferently.
Xiao Heng's face turned pale. He sighed in his heart. He knew that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
He lowered his head and sighed, "Lord Chen Xiao, I will plead guilty and accept my punishment."
"Oh?" Chen Xiao was a little surprised. He thought that Xiao Heng would still try to argue.
"Tsk, tsk, old man, you are quite sensible." Qin Daoyuan sneered.
"Interesting. Xiao Heng, why didn't I see that you were so easy to talk to in the past? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done what I did." Zuo Zhao mocked.
"..." Li Hongzhong.
Fu Xue stood at the side and blinked her eyes. She also heaved a sigh of relief.
Things had come to this point. It could be considered as an end. It was a good thing that they didn't hurt each other too much.
Li Hongzhong's eyes turned ferocious. He said unwillingly, "Xiao Heng, are you going to admit it?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do? I can't win against you. Sigh." Xiao Heng sighed.
"You, you are so infuriating." Li Hongzhong was furious. He was so angry that he was gasping for air, but he had no other choice.
Chen Xiao laughed. "Very good. I didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so sensible. Unlike some people, you are a cheap bone."
Xiao Heng glanced at Li Hongzhong's miserable state and naturally knew what Chen Xiao meant.
"Yes, Lord Chen Xiao is wise. I will accept my punishment."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you have accepted your punishment, I won't make things difficult for you. From today onwards, as long as the Xiao Family cultivators and the Xiao Family's forces leave the Heavenly Sea Island and the Endless Sea, you can go back to the Violet Cloud City and find Lord Zi Jing to accept your punishment."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng's face turned pale, as if he had been choked. His body went limp, and his eyes were filled with bitterness.
He knew that this was the thing he was most afraid of, to face Lord Zi Jing.
Facing Chen Xiao, he had the confidence to be neither humble nor arrogant. But if he faced Lord Zi Jing, he would only feel guilty and remorse.
Lord Zi Jing's kindness to the Xiao Family was greater than the heavens. Without Lord Zi Jing's kindness, the Xiao Family would not exist today.
The Xiao Family had violated the rules and done such a wrong thing. The one who was most sorry was Lord Zi Jing.
Sigh!
He sighed in his heart and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Lord Chen Xiao, for being magnanimous."
"Go." Chen Xiao was expressionless as he waved his hand.
Xiao Heng cupped his fists and bowed deeply before turning around and leaving.
The entire process was clean and neat, without many twists and turns. Li Hongzhong saw this and cursed, "Xiao Heng, you have no guts."
However, Xiao Heng did not even reply and quickly fled.
