Super Soldier in the City

In the blink of an eye, Li Yifei had dealt with these people. As they lay on the ground, they couldn’t figure out how they had provoked such a fierce person. Meanwhile, the ground was still shaking, and the so-called Earth Dragon seemed to really have awakened. Li Yifei could hear faint roars and couldn’t help but look serious, pondering what to do if this thing got out. He personally wasn’t afraid of it, but if it was massive and decided to just run away, the ensuing news would be sensational.

This was not allowed to happen. Li Yifei knew that one of a cultivator’s duties was to prevent such incidents, which could cause public panic, from becoming known, or to stop them from happening. As for other matters, they were currently beyond Li Yifei’s concern.

Li Yifei clapped his hands and saw Fu Yingwei force a very awkward smile, saying, "Sir, I’m not really in with these people. I’m just an outer disciple. I know I was wrong to associate with them, but they threatened me and I had no choice but to stick with them!"

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow. Fu Yingwei thought there was a chance and quickly added, "Thank you, sir, for discovering this place and exposing their evil deeds. Over the past few years, they forced me to kill several people. I had no choice. If I didn’t kill, I might have been killed by them. I know I was wrong, and I’m willing to accept punishment and offer compensation."

Li Yifei would be a fool to believe him. He sneered coldly, casting a sidelong glance at him, saying, "I came here for you. These people were just a sideshow, so do you think you can claim innocence?"

Gah... Fu Yingwei stiffened at Li Yifei’s response, as if electrified, taking several seconds before reacting, incredulously asking, "Sir, have I offended you in some way? If so, I’m willing to compensate!"

"Are you very rich?" Li Yifei asked.

Fu Yingwei nodded vigorously, quickly saying, "I’ve made some money over the years. It should be enough. If Mr. Fu offended you before, I’m willing to admit my mistake!"

This guy really had a thick skin. Li Yifei was even more disdainful of him. Over there, the high priest who had been knocked down by Li Yifei got up, and upon hearing Fu Yingwei’s words, couldn’t help but curse angrily after getting up, "Fu Yingwei, you are betraying the Wishful Sect."

"High Priest!" Of course, Fu Yingwei was also afraid, but he gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me to do this back then. Now... I’ve awakened and will definitely not aid in evil anymore. High Priest, you’d better not push me, or else..."

"You! Fu Yingwei, my Wishful Sect is irreconcilable with you!" The High Priest’s chest burned with rage, his eyes nearly bulging out. He already knew he was no match for Li Yifei and couldn’t deal with him, but Fu Yingwei was never considered anything in his eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only taken him in as an outer disciple. Such a clown dared to rebel now, it was simply intolerable.

Fu Yingwei was also desperate to extricate himself, clenched his fist, and said, "High Priest, one shouldn’t go too far. Haven’t I helped you enough over the years? Not to mention the lives, you forced me to do that. Speaking of wealth, have I given you little? And what did you do in return?"

"You can even say such a thing. Fu Yingwei, I’m going to kill you right now!" The High Priest was trembling with anger,

"Clap, clap, clap!" Li Yifei started applauding. With these two people tearing each other apart, he naturally wouldn’t stop them, but Fu Yingwei deserved to die, though not just yet.

Upon hearing Li Yifei’s clapping, the two who were tearing into each other simultaneously looked at him. Li Yifei said, "Fu Yingwei, you seem to have forgotten what I just said. I’m here for you!"

Fu Yingwei immediately froze, swallowed his saliva, his mouth moved, but he suddenly didn’t know what to say. Someone like him, normally very high and mighty among ordinary people, was absolutely terrified seeing how formidable Li Yifei was, with even the elders not fearing him, and he became flustered.

Now, listening to Li Yifei emphasizing again that he was here for him, Fu Yingwei asked in a panicked voice, "How... how did I offend you?"

Li Yifei chuckled, "Do you still remember the Meng father and son?"

The Meng father and son? Fu Yingwei was momentarily stunned, and he immediately thought of Meng Xuesong and his son, his heart sinking. Could this fierce man have been sent by the Meng family? That would be terrible. Fu Yingwei was well aware of what he had done to the Meng family, and though it had been quite some time and the money had been split, the opponent appearing now... Fu Yingwei didn’t know how to respond.

"I... sir, are you asking about Meng Xuesong?"

Li Yifei remained silent, and Fu Yingwei had already confirmed it. A look of grave sadness appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, about the Meng family matter... sigh, I’m really helpless. Father and son have fallen to this point because of me, but... I’m actually taking the blame for this!"

"Oh?" Li Yifei finally spoke, and Fu Yingwei became more earnest, "It’s true. I’m just caught in the middle, helpless. One side are business friends; the other, provincial forces. They had set their sights on the Meng family long ago. I actually secretly warned them many times, but they didn’t react or care. So in the end... they were schemed against, all their money swept away. Shameful as it is, I’m not trying to absolve myself. No matter how ruthless I am, I can’t rob a friend’s money. Besides, if I hadn’t saved the two of them, the other side might not have spared them. But I was actually waiting for this period to pass and privately give them some money to help, I couldn’t just watch them die."

Li Yifei almost wanted to clap if he were an ordinary person, hadn’t seen the previous evidence, hadn’t heard the heartfelt words of the Meng father and son, got swayed by Fu Yingwei, and felt touched. Unfortunately, he couldn’t. Knowing all this, he couldn’t believe it, nor be moved. His expression turned cold, eyes fixed on Fu Yingwei, and he calmly said, "Do you really think I don’t know what the Meng father and son have been through? Fu Yingwei, do you still want to deceive with lies at this point? You’re truly despicable!"

Bam! It was like a giant hammer had struck Fu Yingwei’s heart. He suddenly realized the person indeed had been sent by the Meng father and son and couldn’t not know these things. The lies he’d spun moments ago made him seek death.

The shrewd Fu Yingwei, on such a small matter, fell flat. Realizing too late, an overwhelming fear enveloped him, a feeling he once knew when the High Priest and others intended to kill someone. It terrified him enough to cause him to collapse to the floor, full of fear and saying, "Sir, ... I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied. I admit I’m no good, I’ve scammed the Meng family out of their money, and I was indeed involved in this. I... I’m willing to give the money back, and return it to the Meng family!"

Li Yifei slowly shook his head, Fu Yingwei hastily waving his hands, "No, no, I’m willing to increase compensation. Not only will I return it all, but I’ll also offer reparations. I’ll negotiate with Meng Xuesong to ensure he’s satisfied."

Li Yifei tilted his head, with Fu Yingwei unable to grasp his intention, so he simply said, "As long as you... spare my life, I’m willing to offer many things to compensate the Meng family."

"Unfortunately, I’m not here for Meng Xuesong." Li Yifei said calmly, Fu Yingwei gasped, his eyes bulging, not knowing how to proceed. So it wasn’t Meng Xuesong who sent him? Then why? Fu Yingwei couldn’t figure it out for the moment. He had countless enemies, some minor and not worth mentioning, but many prominent ones from both the black and white worlds. Fu Yingwei usually acted rampant and domineering, so now, whether it was paying off people or making protection money, made Fu Yingwei unable to determine exactly who had sent him.

His face stiffened, finally asking, "What do I have to do to redeem myself?"

Li Yifei glanced at the high priest and asked, "Do you want to kill him?"

The high priest had been watching the show for a long time, not comprehending what Li Yifei was actually here for. If it were the Wishful Sect custom, someone daring to intrude into the Holy Land like this would certainly be killed. Unfortunately, the opponent was too formidable, totally out of their league, so they had to swallow their pride. Hearing Li Yifei’s question, the high priest nodded vigorously, eyes filled with dense killing intent, and said, "I want to, since he dared to betray the sect, I have to kill him!"

Fu Yingwei immediately replied, "High Priest, I have worked hard, even if without merit, for the Wishful Sect, and you treat me like this?"

"But you have already betrayed the sect." The high priest coldly replied.

Such a monkey show, Li Yifei wasn’t particularly interested in watching it further, hence said, "Enough, there’s no need to tease you anymore, hehe, Fu Yingwei, I’m not here for Meng Xuesong, but for something else. Do you still remember the incident of Fu Changsu a few years back?"

"Boom!" Fu Yingwei’s heart thunderously roared. How could he forget this matter? It was precisely because of that incident that his character changed, aligning with the Wishful Sect. Ever since Fu Changsu was maimed, becoming a living eunuch... he said with difficulty, "You came for that? Could it be you did it back then?"

However, Fu Yingwei quickly shook his head, repeatedly thinking it impossible in his heart. If the opponent had done it back then, it wouldn’t have been possible to rush away hastily but would have been more than capable of exterminating the Fu family entirely, so no need to flee.

Li Yifei’s face was filled with killing intent, "One reaps what they sow. Fu Yingwei, back then, did you ever think of this day?"

"I... my son has been destroyed, and my Fu family is wiped out. Isn’t that enough?" Fu Yingwei, clutching his thighs, replied.

"Apparently, it’s still not enough." Li Yifei’s voice chillingly came through.
