Chapter 574: Chapter 575: Kneel Before Me

The young cultivator before me could certainly be considered handsome, and his cultivation level might just barely qualify him as a family prodigy at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

At this moment, the cultivator was feeling extremely good about himself, completely oblivious to the odd glances being thrown his way. He had never attended a tea meeting before and was only helping to stir up trouble to curry favor with the Situ Household.

That’s why he didn’t recognize Li Xiaobai.

“I am Mei Youdie, may I have the honor of knowing your esteemed names?”

Mei Youdie seated himself next to Li Xiaobai with what he considered a gentlemanly smile, humbly and politely inquired.

However, in his eyes, there was a clear desire to possess, with his excitement barely concealed.

Mei Youdie?

No father?

What kind of name is this, are young people nowadays into such quirky naming trends?

Li Xiaobai was speechless. This name wasn’t just careless, the person who chose it was truly a talent in his own right.

Unexpectedly, this fellow had the look of a decent person, but his actions were unbecoming. Watching him put on an act, Li Xiaobai was in no rush to apprehend him just yet.

Watching with interest, he waited to see how things would unfold.

“Su Yunbing.”

“Ye Wushuang.”

The two women were expressionless as they cut to the chase and introduced themselves.

“Hmm, not bad, great names, great names!”

“Su Yunbing, Ye Wushuang…”

“These names are good, these names…”

Mid-sentence, the cultivator’s expression suddenly changed as he raised his eyes to look at the few people before him, his pupils shrinking unconsciously.

He counted.

One, two, three, four… Seven!

A group of seven people!

Could his luck be this bad?

“Ahem, Brother, my name is Li Xiaobai, and I must say, I admire your courage. Today, you won’t be able to escape. Call back your accomplices.

“Then tell us, who’s pulling the strings behind you? Speak up, and you might just save your life,” Li Xiaobai said, lightly patting Mei Youdie on the shoulder.

“I…”

“You… you are Li Xiaobai?”

Mei Youdie’s body trembled, asking in a shaky voice.

“Junior Brother, why waste words on this fellow? We only need one living prisoner. Just rough him up a bit and search his soul directly to find out who’s behind this!”

Fourth Senior Brother Yang Chen’s expression was icy, a cold glare flashing in his eyes, brimming with murderous intent.

He wasn’t just trying to spook him; he genuinely wanted to slaughter the man before him.

It was unimaginable that the one to frame and malign him would be such a character!

“Stop, stop, stop, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, it was Young Master Situ who instructed us, all the impostors are from various families, following Young Master Situ’s commands!”

Mei Youdie, scared pale, hurriedly spoke, his cold sweat breaking out in droves.

He had just flirted with two horrifying beings capable of reaching the sixth floor of the Linglong Pagoda—a capital offense!

And now that he had been caught, Situ Guixiong’s plan had been exposed; it was better to come clean for leniency.

“Situ Guixiong, damn it, I knew it was him, with a face that screams treachery, and his deeds are just as dirty!”

“Junior Brother, let’s go slaughter him!”

The group was seething with killing intent, eager to head straight to the Situ Household.

“No rush, let’s first bring these seven to the Punishment Hall. We’ve been used as pawns, naturally, we can’t make it easy for the puppeteer either!”

A fleeting chill flashed in Li Xiaobai’s eyes. What he desired was not just to avenge and shift blame but also to make these three household heads suffer.

The other party hoped this matter would end smoothly, with everything progressing steadily according to the original plan, peeling away the facades of the great families layer by layer.

Well, if they wanted it to stabilize, then he would plunge them into chaos.

“This… I will bring them over right away!”

Mei Youdie hurriedly said, immediately expressing his loyalty.

“No need.”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

With a flick of his wrist, a longsword appeared in his hand. He raised it high above his head and fiercely slashed it down towards the direction of the house.

Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!

In just an instant, the few people who were looting the villagers’ hard-earned wealth, as well as the trembling villagers kneeling on the ground, all felt their bodies uncontrollably compelled to kneel, their knees buckling as they rushed towards where Li Xiaobai was located.

They raised their hands high in a gesture of utmost worship!

“A deity has revealed himself!”

“This is the fury of a deity!”

“Heaven has eyes; what men do gods observe. Those few robbers are kneeling too; it seems a peerless expert has stepped in!”

Far from being afraid of this predicament, the villagers were actually thrilled because they clearly saw that the marauders who had been causing havoc in their village were now just like them, firmly kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

The six masked cultivators were now utterly baffled.

They had no idea what had happened, but they vaguely sensed the scenario seemed familiar, as if they had heard of it somewhere before, yet they couldn’t recall it at the moment.

“What’s going on, why am I kneeling?”

“Damn it, who is taking a sneak attack on me!”

“Motherfucker, if I find out who it is, they’re going to pay dearly!”

“Wait, doesn’t this seem familiar to you, like how Young Master Situ was previously crippled of his cultivation level?”

“Sword Imprisonment, Demon’s Wicked Sword, this is Demon Sword Li Xiaobai!”

After a moment of shock, an indescribable horror swept through them. They had been impersonating Li Xiaobai to commit misdeeds, and now they had been caught red-handed by the very person they were impersonating!

Although they disliked him, he was undoubtedly a formidable figure. If they were to confront him directly, they stood no chance at all.

At this moment, they couldn’t even mobilize the Spiritual Power within their bodies.

It was then they heard a familiar voice: “Young Master Li, look, these are the ones. We were naive and heedlessly believed the nonsense from Situ Guixiong. We hope the Young Master can be merciful, considering our intention to reform.”

“The looting and heinous acts were all committed by them, I actually did nothing.”

Mei Youdie’s face was oozing with flattery as he said it, immediately chilling the hearts of the masked men by half.

Fuck, looking at the situation, there was nothing left to say; their leader had sold them out.

Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, “Hmm, very good. Tell me, which families do these people belong to?”

“Yes, Young Master, please look. This one here is the eldest son of the Zhao Family from the southern city!”

“This one here is from the Sun Family in the northern city, just a minor family, not worth mentioning.”

“This one, on the other hand, is quite noteworthy. He is the Young Master of the Yang Family, who is on par with our Situ Household, with a cultivation level that has already reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, a lifelong ally of our Situ Household.”

“…”

Mei Youdie unmasked each person, introducing them sycophantically.

“Mei Youdie, how dare you betray us, Young Master Situ will not let you go!”

The masked men were furious, their eyes brimming with icy coldness.

“Hehe, it’s not about whether Young Master Situ will let me go. The issue now is whether Young Master Li will let go of Young Master Situ!”
