Chapter 61

Leibao's smile grew wider, and a domineering aura suddenly spread out. Tai Lang felt a continuous sense of distress in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, whispering, "Brother Leibao, this matter... I will handle it. Hehe, if I don't handle it to your satisfaction, you can step in, okay?" He looked at Leibao with some unease; if Leibao still had his old temper, he would have refused without hesitation.

This time, Leibao did not insist. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you to handle it. Remember, don't let my people be wronged!"

Yan Wu gave the old man a somewhat surprised look. This time, upon seeing Leibao again, he noticed a significant change in the old man. Aslan also found it a bit strange, clearly knowing the old man's temper, she didn't expect Leibao to be able to hold his temper.

Tai Lang almost made his decision in the first moment. Regardless of whether this team led by the old man Leibao had killed anyone, he had to show favoritism and suppress these small sects. So he said, "Who among you saw them kill anyone?"

The seven Zhenren were speechless because they had been tracking the team with desert hunting dogs. They could only prove that the team had been on the move, and all the disciples who had been training along the way had disappeared, but no one had seen the team kill anyone.

If this team had average strength, they wouldn't need any evidence; they could just kill them all and call it revenge. However, in Tai Lang's night camp, they didn't dare to kill. They only dared to capture the people left outside the team, but they didn't expect that there were people from Tai Lang's night camp in the team, so they couldn't force a confession. Tai Lang had already brought people to the scene.

Tai Lang said, "Since you didn't see them kill anyone, why are you capturing them? Release them immediately!"

Leibao briefly investigated the other party and found that the highest level among the seven was a Zhenren who had condensed a three-ring true body. For ordinary cultivators, this was a terrifying force, but to him, it was nothing. However, this was already the high-end martial force of over twenty small sects, and to have seven Zhenren appear at once showed their seriousness about this matter.

This three-ring true body Zhenren was Tang Shi from the Great Eagle Sect, an inner gate grand elder. He was the leader this time.

Tang Shi had a bad feeling. He was actually quite familiar with Tai Lang and could be considered a friend, but the closeness of their friendship couldn't compare to his relationship with the old man Leibao. He said, "Senior Tai Lang..." He originally wanted to call him "Brother Tai Lang," but seeing Tai Lang's serious face, he changed it to "Senior Tai Lang."

"Senior Tai Lang, we can't release them... I need to interrogate them. If they are not involved in the killings, we will take responsibility for apologizing and compensating."

Tai Lang cursed, "Nonsense!"

Letting them interrogate, not only would Leibao not agree, but he couldn't agree either. He knew their methods; even if these people hadn't killed anyone, they could make them confess to the killings. No one could resist the interrogation of cultivators; it would be worse than death.

Tang Shi straightened his back and stared at Tai Lang, saying, "Senior!"

Tai Lang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about any interrogation! They are not for you to interrogate. Unless you can provide direct evidence of their killings, I can negotiate, but if you try to force it, it's absolutely not allowed!"

Tang Shi felt a wave of anxiety. If he couldn't find the killer, the entire alliance of small sects would collapse. He had to find the killer to calm everyone's anger, but he couldn't afford to offend Tai Lang's night camp. He was extremely helpless and, after a moment's thought, said, "We need to discuss this."

Tai Lang nodded and said, "Alright, discuss it, but I hope you reach a conclusion quickly."

Tang Shi led the other six Zhenren to the other end of the small bridge and began to discuss. Soon, the seven of them started arguing.

Leibao crossed his arms and watched with a cold expression.

Jin Dapang and Qi Xuan also had cold expressions, but Leixingfeng noticed a glint of anger in Jin Dapang's eyes. Jin Dapang was very smart; with more powerful experts stepping in, he knew his strength was not enough. If it weren't for the old man Leibao and the others, he wouldn't have been able to resist, even as an officer of the Xirong Kingdom, it would have been useless.

At this moment, Leixingfeng deeply felt the benefits of absolute strength in this world, a crushing force.

After less than ten minutes of argument, Tang Shi brought the other six back and said, "I need to interrogate!"

Tai Lang sighed inwardly and said, "The people in this team are my seniors. If you really want to interrogate... hehe, as the host, I shouldn't interfere too much, so I won't ask anymore." He suddenly let go and turned back, saying, "Brother, you decide."

Leibao nodded and said, "No problem, I'll handle it."

Tang Shi suddenly felt a chill in his heart and said, "Senior, if we make a mistake, we will take responsibility for apologizing and compensating!"

Leibao said, "Aslan, you take charge of Yaoyao and Afeng's safety, okay?"

Aslan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of these two kids." She called Leixingfeng over, held Leiyao, and stepped back a few steps.

Leibao continued, "Yan Wu, you don't need to act, just protect my people. Their strength is not enough. Qi Xuan, Du Hongchen, you don't need to act either, just help Yan Wu."

Yan Wu smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I have no problem."

Leibao nodded and said, "Very good!" Then he said to Tang Shi, "Little guy, don't say I'm domineering. I'll give you one more chance to release our people."

Tang Shi's face turned green. This was too domineering, not even discussing it, just demanding the release of the people. He gritted his teeth and said, "Without evidence, we can't release them!" He decided to be tough, thinking that the old man Leibao wouldn't dare to act, facing the alliance of over twenty small sects, he believed that even as a senior, Leibao wouldn't easily act. Unfortunately, he didn't know Leibao's temper or how powerful he was.

The old man Leibao smiled and said, "Interesting, if I had said this a few decades ago, no one would have dared to challenge me. Now, not only do people dare to challenge me, but I even have the patience to ask repeatedly. Sigh, I'm old, I'm old..."

The surroundings were silent, and everyone watched the old man Leibao with silent awe. Only Tai Lang, Aslan, and Yan Wu were on edge, even as experts with four or five-ring true bodies, they still felt a chill.

Leixingfeng had never seen his grandfather like this before, feeling very curious. He had never seen his grandfather act so strangely, that sense of nostalgia, as if the world had changed too quickly, and he couldn't keep up.

Tang Shi wanted to say something but suddenly saw the old man Leibao rise into the air, his heart almost stopping. He suddenly realized and shouted, "Stop!"

It was already too late to call for a stop. The old man Leibao, like a bolt of lightning, descended on the other side of the river, directly colliding with the crowd of cultivators below the Zhenren. In an instant, countless lightning bolts danced, and the sound of crackling filled the air. In a moment, over a hundred people were lying on the ground, twitching.

The most terrifying thing was not the people on the ground, but the bound captives, who were completely unharmed. They were still standing, even though they were tied up. The arcs of electricity quickly spread, and the people on the other side of the bridge only saw a blinding light, followed by a chorus of screams.

Tang Shi and the other Zhenren rushed over the bridge. His heart was icy cold. Before the old man Leibao acted, he only thought the old man was unfathomable, but when the old man acted, he was completely stunned. The old man flying into the air meant he was at least a Zhenren who had condensed a six-ring true body, a level of expert that even some major sects might not have. It was too unexpected and too terrifying.

A six-ring true body Zhenren is called a Seal Zhenren. If it's a seven-ring true body, it's called a Frenzied Seal Zhenren, both extremely terrifying beings. The old man Leibao was at least a Seal Zhenren, possibly even a Frenzied Seal Zhenren. How could they fight? His face turned pale with regret, he had provoked such a powerful expert, it was almost suicidal. No wonder Tai Lang tried to stop him; even Tai Lang couldn't resist.

Tang Shi was straightforward and shouted, "Senior, stop! We admit defeat! Stop!"

Leibao roared, "Do you think I'll stop just because you ask me to?" and lunged at the seven.

Tang Shi didn't dare to resist. The seven of them stood still, and at this moment, Tai Lang had to step forward to block, saying, "Brother, brother... they admit defeat!"

Leibao finally stopped and said, "You didn't know your place and only admitted defeat when I acted. A bunch of fools!"

Tang Shi was drenched in sweat, feeling helpless. This old man was really a monster. Who knew he had such terrifying strength? He saw the thick arcs of electricity almost hit him, and they disappeared only at Tai Lang's shout.

The ground was full of twitching cultivators. This time, the old man Leibao held back and didn't kill anyone, just knocked them down with arcs of electricity. He knew that if he killed everyone again after the previous misunderstanding, it would be too much.

Tang Shi's eyes were good; he understood at a glance that the old man had held back. Otherwise, even if he killed them all, he couldn't take revenge; the opponent was too strong, strong to the point of despair.

Tang Shi and the others understood that even if the deaths of the training disciples were related to this team, they couldn't take revenge. They even thought it would be best if there was no connection. Even if there was a connection, they would have to find a way to deny it, meaning that these people didn't kill their training disciples, even if they did, they would pretend they didn't.

Leibao despised these people. According to his temper, they were all softies. He said, "Remember, apologize and compensate my people!"
