#320 - Chapter 320: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger, You Are Strong, I Am Stronger

When Ma Wendong saw the old man, he immediately perked up and pretended, "Uncle Rong, quickly kill him for me. He forced his way into the Prefect's mansion and even wants to kill me."

The old man glanced at Ma Wendong, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he ignored Ma Wendong and continued to look at Li Ergou.

Li Ergou didn't stand on ceremony and immediately said, "Didn't you see him abducting a woman? Moreover, this person is a constable of my Great Xia Dynasty.

What does he want to do? Is he trying to oppose the imperial court? So what if he's the Prefect's son? The Emperor is subject to the law like any commoner. Can he be so lawless just because he's a young master? Could it be that the Prefect teaches his son this way?

Recently, the city has been chaotic, with evil forces pouring into the city to cause trouble. I now suspect he is an accomplice of those people. If the Prefect is unwilling to take action, I can punish him on his behalf."

The old man was slightly startled. Although the young man before him looked very young, every word he spoke was like a sharp blade, cutting into people. If the young master was really convicted like this, even if the Prefect returned, he would probably be helpless.

He then looked at the woman tied to the bed, and a burst of anger rose in his heart. He thought to himself, who couldn't this kid provoke, but he had to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now, seeing Li Ergou's calm demeanor and firm eyes, he instantly thought of something, something he had seen in Baojing Province many years ago.

That person was also like this, calm and composed. The most hateful thing was that that person had used some kind of magical power to hide his cultivation, causing everyone to misjudge his strength.

He was clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he insisted on pretending to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Once, an incident ignited this person's anger, and he unleashed his full power, directly killing seven or eight Golden Core cultivators.

From then on, Baojing Province had a very new term called 'pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger'. For the next few decades, the cultivators in Baojing Province were suspicious of each other.

He never thought that he would encounter such a thing.

Although the young man in front of him seemed to have a Foundation Establishment cultivation, the power of his divine sense was definitely the pressure that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could emit. This couldn't be faked.

Therefore, he thought of the term 'pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger', and he also thought of that incident, that person.

A Nascent Soul cultivator, ah. Although he didn't know why this person was doing this, he knew that usually, these people were a bit perverted in their hearts, otherwise, they wouldn't play such a trick.

The Prefect's mansion had a total of four enshrined experts, which was definitely a powerful force in Fish City, but for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was not enough.

Even if the four of them attacked together, they might be beaten to death. He didn't want to take such a big risk for a young master, after all, the Prefect didn't only have this one son.

Just as he was constantly thinking in his heart, Li Ergou moved his wrist and took out Yu Wencheng's head, throwing it directly on the ground, and said with a contemptuous voice, "I'm really sorry, this guy is from your mansion, right? He actually colluded with evil demons and has been executed on the spot by me.

I just don't know if you have anything to do with this person."

Li Ergou fabricated a story, casually giving him a title. Anyway, he was a dead man and couldn't speak. As for whether what he said was true or false, it didn't matter at all. He could say black was white, and white was black. After all, who would argue with him? A dead man?

Seeing Yu Wencheng's head, the old man's pupils shrank, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

Ma Wendong also didn't expect Yu Wencheng to be killed so easily. He looked at Li Ergou with some fear, and his heart kept saying that this was impossible.

His mouth, however, shouted in a panic, "Uncle Rong, Yu Wencheng is not an evil demon at all. He was just trying to stop this guy from coming to me. Damn it, he actually dared to kill Yu Wencheng. Uncle Rong, kill him, kill him to avenge Yu Wencheng."

Hearing this, the old man looked at Li Ergou, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason. At this moment, even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it. After all, could a Foundation Establishment cultivator kill a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator?

Although it was possible, it was a very small probability. He didn't dare to gamble, especially not with his life.

The guy in front of him was bold and reckless, and he was also from the yamen. If he was beaten to death, people would give him the label of an evil demon spy. Even the Prefect would not be able to avenge him, right?

To put it another way, even if he avenged him, could he be resurrected? Having lived to his age, he understood a lot of principles.

He could sell his life to the Prefect, but he wouldn't foolishly throw his life away. He couldn't do such a thing.

Having figured out the reasoning, the old man couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile and said, "This lord, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I've long seen that Yu Wencheng was plotting something wrong. I didn't expect him to be involved with the evil cult. I'm not familiar with him and have nothing to do with him.

Damn it, it's really damn. It's just that my young master made an unintentional mistake. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf. Please be merciful, fellow Daoist. We will compensate for the losses of your friend."

Hearing these words, Ma Wendong couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He was wondering if this old guy was senile, siding with outsiders.

He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Uncle Rong, don't listen to his nonsense. Although I don't know what method he used to kill Yu Wencheng.

But I can guarantee that he must have used despicable methods. Quickly call out the other two, and we will work together to kill this guy."

The old man glared fiercely at Ma Wendong, couldn't help but snort and said, "Shut up."

Although Ma Wendong was arrogant, he was still a bit afraid of this old man, after all, he had seen the old man's methods. He was arrogant, but not stupid.

More importantly, he was now also a little afraid of this Li Ergou. He really didn't know what means this guy used to kill Yu Wencheng. It was too terrifying.

So he thought to himself, he must get rid of this Li Ergou, otherwise, he would definitely be a big problem in the future. But now the old man was actually afraid, and even reprimanded him. Because of this, he became even more annoyed.

Unfortunately, he really didn't dare to argue with this old guy, he could only hate in his heart, and couldn't help but think, old guy, you wait for me, when I inherit the family business, I will settle this account with you.

Li Ergou looked at Ma Wendong with contempt in his heart, thinking that this guy's status in his family was only so-so, even an enshrined expert could reprimand him at will. He thought you were some kind of powerful character.

It's just that he didn't have time to play with you now. Saving people was the most important thing. If the Prefect came back and saw the mansion like this, there might be some changes.

So he said to the old man, "This fellow Daoist, I don't want to make karma with you. This person kidnapped my people, which is simply slapping my face. Don't I need face? Today, I will not only take my people away, but I also hope you will give me an explanation.

Otherwise, today, I don't mind going on a killing spree."

Saying that, his face turned cold, and the infinite power of his divine sense surged out.
