Chapter 1878 Thunderous Means (Second Update)
There are more than 40 households and more than 500 people in the four villages. Among them, eight households with more than 90 people chose to relocate as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether these people knew the importance of the matter or thought it was a good deal, they left quite decisively.
Among them, five households moved to the area designated by Huaxiezi, and the remaining three households simply chose to move away from this place.
The five households could not move in one day, so they applied for three days to move, and Huaxiezi approved it.
The three households packed up whatever they could and left immediately, but they also applied for the right to come back and move again.
Hua Xiezi also agreed that as long as we were willing to move as soon as possible, everything else would be easy.
And the only things they couldn't take away were ladders, dustpans and the like, nothing valuable.
It was actually more than 400 spirit stones, and she gave them out literally, mainly to build a model project.
By the afternoon of that day, three more families suddenly changed their minds and decided to move that day.
We really can’t wait any longer. If we wait until tomorrow, each person will earn one less spirit stone—one spirit stone!
In the evening, two more families said they wanted to move, otherwise the cost of sleeping would be too high.
Both families traveled light, without taking many bottles and jars with them. No matter how valuable the things they couldn't move were, could they be more valuable than a spirit stone?
One of the families was named Su, and the head of the family was called Su Ye. They had a total of eleven people and received fifty-five spirit stones.
Su Ye had also been out there before, and only came here later, so he had some experience.
He did not even choose the area designated by the master, but decided to flee far away - with this amount of spirit stones, there was no place he could not stay.
He even regretted that he was a little greedy and left too late.
In the darkness of night, the Su family and their group hurried on their way.
Su Ye couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, I got cheated, everyone wants this and that... but no one dares to jump out!"
While muttering, he turned his head and scolded, "Second brother, tell your family to walk faster, don't you know it's unsafe?"
A man is innocent but guilty if he possesses a treasure. Su Ye knows this truth very well.
So he chose to leave the master's territory overnight - even though the other party gave the spirit stones so readily, that was only on the surface.
Unfortunately, the Su family still encountered robbers.
They walked out of the new owner's territory and walked for more than ten kilometers. Just as they were looking for a place to rest, two masked men suddenly appeared.
There are also strong young men in the Su family, but the two robbers are both cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
The robbers injured three people, stole all the spirit stones, and even took away two pieces of pickled meat.
But they did not kill anyone, because this is the Yan family's sphere of influence and there are rules!
If they really dare to kill someone, the Yan family will definitely investigate. Although it is hard to say how thorough the investigation will be, why take the risk?
Anyway, fifty-five spirit stones are enough for one move, but there is no need to go to extremes for such a small amount of spirit stones.
After the robbers left, the Su family was really in tears. They wanted to report the robbery, but they didn't know where to report it.
Go back to the new master to appeal for justice? He dared not do that. Who knows where these two Qi Refining Stage masters came from...
However, there were six or seven spiritual consciousnesses that saw what happened clearly.
"Damn..." Yuanyuan said she couldn't stand it. "How dare they rob the spirit stones we sent out? Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"Let them struggle for a while," Xiangxue said leisurely, "they can't fly again."
The next day, more than 20 companies expressed their intention to relocate.
These families basically stayed up all night, not only discussing within the family, but also communicating with each other.
Among more than 20 families, only one firmly expressed its determination to leave. After discussion, the others chose the designated area for the flower scorpion.
There were only nine households left, four of which firmly expressed their desire to become tenants of the new owner.
All day long on the third day, no one moved out, as if they were waiting for the owner's decision.
But that night...something happened. The thirty families who moved to the designated area were attacked by robbers at night.
There were more than ten robbers in the night attack, at least three of them were extremely agile and should be Qi cultivators.
These twenty-odd families had just moved here and didn't even have houses. They just built a temporary thatched hut or dug a cave.
Although the environment was a bit bad, everyone's mood was not bad.
Although they have left their hometown, they all have some assets and can look forward to a bright future.
Of course, we all understand that we must stick together to keep each other warm in the face of potential threats.
So these thirty households, nearly four hundred people, gathered together in three groups at night, with fires for lighting and people on duty.
But even so, his strength was there, and he would have no ability to resist a sneak attack from a Qi-refining cultivator.
The key is that these attackers also took the specific situation into consideration. Because they were in an open area, they did not use means such as smoke.
Those agile robbers knocked out the guards and most people.
The remaining people tried to resist but were beaten to pieces, with two of them seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The more than one thousand spirit stones carried by these four hundred people were all robbed.
With so many spirit stones, it is totally worthwhile to mobilize a dozen or so Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Before daybreak, some people ran back to complain to the new owner - we were robbed on your territory.
Flower Scorpion's response was very calm, "We will investigate this matter, but we are busy with construction now, so we will wait for a while."
The new owners had a casual attitude and paid no attention to maintaining their dignity. The nine remaining families saw it all.
Until the last day of the deadline, the nine families had not decided whether to leave or stay.
By noon, Hua Xiezi and Xiang Xue showed up and hung a dozen people upside down on several big trees.
These people were the robbers in the two robberies.
The first two robbers who robbed Su Ye's house did so purely on impulse.
They had heard that a new owner had come to the vicinity of Hongye Ridge and was going to distribute spirit stones to disperse the residents, so they had been eyeing this place for a long time.
Moreover, the Su family did not have storage bags, and since they carried the spirit stones on their bodies, the spiritual energy could be easily sensed.
After they succeeded, the two of them tried to get away, but they never expected that they had already been locked up by several spiritual senses.
The reason why Qu Jianlei and others chose to take action on the last day was that they wanted to know who else was involved behind the robbers.
These two people were just idle on weekdays and played the role of robbers.
So when the team captured them, they simply took away their valuables and hung them upside down on a tree.
The second group of robbers was an organized group of independent cultivators.
It is particularly worth mentioning that this group of independent cultivators took action because someone tipped off.
So while hanging these robbers upside down, the team also hung a human head, which was that of Feng Junwu, the third son of the Feng family.
Feng Yingyu, along with a family of more than twenty people, found Xiangxue with a look of grief and indignation on their faces and asked her what was going on.
Xiangxue didn't bother to explain to them, she just asked calmly, "You don't know?"
The Feng family subconsciously wanted to cause trouble. This family relied on their numbers and the head of the family was a Qi-refining cultivator, so they were used to being rude and arrogant on a daily basis.
But Feng Yingyu directly stopped his family. He had no doubt that if his family members dared to cause trouble, the other party would really kill them.
After all, this land now belongs to the new owner and they are just guests there.
The other party is in his own home and is a master of foundation building. If he really wants to take action, killing all the members of the Feng family will not have serious consequences.
Feng Yingyu simply said in a serious tone, "We will solemnly appeal to the Yan family for your behavior."
Xiangxue still ignored him and went to set up the formation on her own.
The Feng family felt guilty and did not dare to continue to pester the matter, but the other eight families were very curious.
So they came under the tree and asked the robbers who were hung upside down, what did you do?
These robbers already knew their fate, and because they did not kill anyone, the new owner of Hongyeling did not kill them.
There was no way he could keep the robbed spirit stones and his own property.
The punishment of being hung upside down also has a time limit, which is based on the amount of spirit stones robbed. If one steals a spirit stone, he will be hung upside down for a day.
Most of the robbers had some skills, but no one could stand being hung upside down for dozens of days without food or water.
The owner of Hongye Ridge also offered a condition, offering a penalty of "ten times the amount of money for every robbery" to reduce the number of days of hanging upside down.
This is considered lynching, but in the Dongsheng Continent, as long as the cultivators are in the right, there is no problem in using lynching moderately.
It is not easy for these robbers to collect ten times the amount of spirit stones.
But what’s even more outrageous is that the people who arrested them didn’t give them any chance to raise money, and they couldn’t even get the news out.
The robbers wanted to seek help from relatives and friends, so they could only rely on these eight families.
Anyway, their actions have already been fully known by the master of Hongyeling, so there is nothing they can't say.
The key point is that they didn't kill anyone. Even if they seriously injured some individuals, they didn't kill them after all, right?
As domineering as they were when they were robbing, they are as pitiful now.
After all, the one who captured them was a Foundation Establishment Master, an existence that Qi Refining cultivators could not afford to offend.
A robber who was at a high level of Qi training, probably because he was used to being arrogant, couldn't help but say a few harsh words when he saw that the person he was questioning was an ordinary person.
As a result, a gust of wind came from a distance and pierced his head in mid-air.
It was not Xiangxue who took action. She just looked up and then lowered her head to continue setting up the formation.
The villagers had no idea who had made the move and could only look around subconsciously.
The other robbers were also frightened when they saw this.
They were captured alive and originally thought that the other party did not like killing people, but who would have thought that they would be so decisive when killing?
Soon, the villagers found out that it was Feng Junwu who colluded with the bandits and robbed the villagers of their spiritual stones.
This was exactly the reason why Hongyeling ignored the two robbers at the beginning. They wanted to see if there was any other guy who could jump out.
The Feng family was indeed courting death. In addition to going to Yinjiabao to pass on the message, they also did this.
Little did they know that all of this could not be hidden from the many spiritual senses wandering around on Hongye Ridge.
As to why only Feng Junwu was killed, the robbers were also confused.
They vaguely heard the Foundation Establishment Master mutter, "You actually dare to resist..."
