Chapter 338 - The Li Clan’s punishment
However, they did not much much time to be angry before their emotions morphed into fear. This was because Halcyon’s gaze locked on Li Fei, who was terrified beyond compare, and hoisted him up.
With his single move, the pressure of the sacred beast forced down the entire of the Li clansmen. The flying beasts were unable to hold on and directly plummeted down.
“Ah, what do you want to do?” Li Fei cried.
“Naturally, we’re here to talk about your cruel plot against us!” Sima You Yue said while patting Little Roc. A group of people fell to the ground.
The Li clansmen fell from the skies. Although they knew how to fly, their inner spirit powers were rendered ineffective under the influence of Halcyon’s pressure. They were unable to support themselves in the air.
However, it was lucky that some flying beasts broke their fall, so they didn’t fall to their deaths.
The Li Mu clan leader watched as Sima You Yue walked towards them, and tried to force down the terror in his heart, saying, “Sima You Yue, what do you want to do?”
“Li Clan Leader, you don’t have to worry. For me, I’ve always clearly delineated my grudges and gratitudes. Although your Li Clansmen had tried to kill me, I will not exterminate all of you. That’s something only those who lost their humanity would be able to do.” Sima You Yue said slowly, “That is why nothing will happen to the rest of you.”
“Thank you little friend, You Yue, for your magnanimity.” The Li Clan Leader stood in front of the Sacred beast and, when faced with life or death, dignity was something he could do without.
Hearing that Sima You Yue would not take their lives, he started to change his address to one of a Little Friend.
The Sima clansmen knew from the start that she would not act against the Li Clan. Although they really did not understand her decision at first, after hearing Sima You Lin’s explanation, they finally got it.
Sima You Yue beamed as she pointed at Li Mu and Li Fei, saying, “They plotted against me, so I have come to make them pay. Li Clan Leader, do you have any objections?”
“No- no objections.” The Li Clan Leader’s heart was in turmoil.
One of them was their great array master, while the other was the genius of their clan. Right now, someone was about to kill the both of them, but still asked if he had any objections. He had even said that he had no objections. This kind of miserable situation would probably be something only he would have to encounter.
“That’s good, then.” Sima You Yue looked innocently at Li Mu and Li Fei, saying, “Since your clan leader has no objections, I have no need to ask for your opinions.”
“What- what do you plan to do?” Li Mu asked.
“I love to return a tooth for tooth, and an eye for an eye.” Sima You yue said, “Although we have already left Saint City, someone pure like me doesn’t like violence and murder. That’s why I won’t take your lives directly.”
When the Sima Clansmen heard what she said, they could not help but secretly roll their eyes.
She was pure? She didn’t like violence and murder? Her skin was really incomparably thick!
“Tooth for tooth?” Li Fei’s heart shook. “You- You’re not thinking of…”
“Smart!”
“I won’t let you get your way. I won’t make that teleportation array anymore. You can just kill me directly!” Li Fei said.
He had heard about a terrifying place like that from Li Mu, and he would die before going to a place like that.
Sima You Yue rolled her eyes, saying, “Who said that they would ask you to make the teleportation array? You Lin, do you remember that teleportation array from before?”
Sima You Lin nodded, saying, “Should not be a problem.”
“Then we can begin. Halcyon, keep a close watch on them. Don’t let them commit suicide.”
After speaking, she and Sima You Lin worked together to fix up the array. That Li Fei needed an entire day to fix up the array, but the two of them did not need even half a day’s worth of time.
Every minute spent setting up the array left the Li Clansmen writhing in another minute of torture. This was like being on death row!
“Done.” Sima You Yue patted her hands and said, “It’s our first time fixing up this array. Never expected that we would take such a long time. Looks like our abilities are not up to par. We have to continue to work hard to improve.”
“Yeah.” Sima You Lin nodded.
Hearing their exchange, the Li Clansmen could not help but curse in their hearts. This was the first time fixing up the array, but they actually did it so quickly. They even had the gall to complain that it took such a long time. Furthermore, one shouldn’t forget that they were only twenty over years old, okay!
Also, the Li Clansmen finally remembered that she was an Alchemist. Now, she was even an Array Master!
“Halcyon, toss them over here.” Sima You Yue said while looking at Halcyon.
Halcyon grabbed hold of the two of them, then kicked each of them into the array.
“That place is actually really fun. I hope you two have a good time!” Sima You Yue said while activating the array. She watched as the light of the array enveloped the two of them and they both disappeared.
The Li Clansmen watched Li Mu and Li Fei disappear, and were so afraid that their faces drained of colour. They were afraid that he would turn around and act against them.
However, Sima You Yue did not pay them the slightest of heed. Instead, she turned to Halcyon and asked, “What did you do to them just now?”
“Nothing much. I just left a bit of my imprint on them to ascertain whether or not they would die.” Halcyon said lightly.
“Halcyon!” Sima You Yue gave him a big thumbs up in praise.
With this, she would be able to rest in peace once they died.
“You Yue, what do we do with them?” Sima You Yang walked over and asked.
With his single question, the Li Clansmen all tensed up, as if waiting for the final verdict.
“I’ve already said it. I only wanted the lives of Li Mu and Li Fei. Therefore, I definitely will not take the lives of the others!” Sima You Yue said, “However, while they can escape from death, they cannot be free from suffering. At the end of the day, they were also Li Clansmen.”
The Li Clansmen heard that he would not take their lives, so the anxiety in their hearts calmed down. However, Sima You Yue’s later words struck fear in their hearts again.
“Little Friend You Yue, what do you plan to do?” The Li Clansmen forced himself to ask in a steady tone.
“We went to that scary place, and almost lost our lives a few times. After facing so many injuries and terrifying scenarios, we would naturally have to suppress our fear.” Sima You yue said, “I’ve heard that the Li Clan is a clan of Alchemists. Giving us some things to help us suppress our fears should be no problem, right!”
Damn! This was looting a burning house!
When those onsite heard what she said, they finally understood what she meant.
The Li Clan Leader was truly experienced. With the things that she said, he would have lived his years in vain if he didn’t understand what she meant.
“Little Friend You Yue, we have two stalks of a Ten Thousand Year spirit medicine. I wonder if it will help you suppress your fear?” The Li Clan Leader forced a smile in reply.
“Two stalks of a Ten Thousand Year spirit medicine?” Sima You Yue widened her eyes in shock. When the Li Clan Leader thought that there would be no problems, her words suddenly struck, “Li Clan Leader, do you take me as a beggar? Are two stalks of spirit medicine enough to help stem my fear?”
“N-n- no.” The Li Clan Leader immediately cupped his hands. Seeing Sima You yue’s attitude, this matter of stemming their fear was no easy feat! “I wonder what Little Friend You Yue needs to stem your fears?”
“Oh this. Actually, it’s really simple.” Sima You Yue said while stroking her chin.
Little Tu was standing at the side, and when he saw the way Sima You Yue was acting, he suddenly thought of the time when they were at the West Moon Kingdom’s imperial palace, where she was preparing to extort the West Moon Emperor. At that time, she had the exact same expression.
As expected…
After half an hour, the Li Clansmen started on their journey again. For the group of them, apart from the clothes that they had on their back, they were already penniless.
All the imprints on their interspatial rings had been erased, and became items to suppress Sima You Yue’s fear.
“Shameless!” When they saw the innocent smile on her face, not only the Li clansmen, but also the Sima Clansmen could not help but curse.
