Chapter 193
The two of them were killed, but the two of them were still alive.
Wu Gang glanced at Wei Chen and said in a calm tone: "What does it have to do with me that he has a connection with Lu Ren? If you want to kill him, just kill him. Threatening me is useless."
"You..." Li Yan was so angry that his face turned blue: "Do you really think I dare not kill?"
He cut a bloody mark on Wei Chen's neck, and blood continued to flow along the blade.
Wu Gang saw this scene, and his heart was not moved at all, and even had a bit of a playful look.
"You are so slow to kill a person, is this all you Muyang Sect people are capable of?"
Li Yan's eyes were wide open, and the veins on the back of his hands and forehead were exposed, as if he had been overwhelmed by anger.
"Then I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his sword and planned to chop off Wei Chen's head with one sword.
Wei Chen closed his eyes, neither sad nor happy, and showed no fear of death.
With his death, Lu Ren would no longer be threatened.
Li Yan's doing this was a relief for him.
However, Liu Mushen once again stopped Li Yan's impulsive behavior.
"Elder Liu! Why are you stopping me?"
Liu Mushen lowered his voice and said, "Lu Ren has not appeared yet. Maybe he is really not in the city. Keeping Wei Chen at least has bargaining chips."
If the whereabouts of the magic mirror were not unknown, he would not bother to go to the county city to deal with the guys from the Demon Suppression Division.
The whereabouts of his disciple Qin Zhen are unknown. Now only Zhang Lanyue may know the inside story, so Liu Mushen will not condone Li Yan to kill Wei Chen anyway.
Once Wei Chen is killed, I am afraid Zhang Lanyue will also die.
By then, his beloved magic weapon, the magic mirror, might never be found again.
"Elder Liu, you have seen their attitude. Do you think it is possible to ask them to release him?"
After Liu Mushen pondered for a moment, he made a decision.
He sent people to set up a frame opposite the demon suppression department and tied Wei Chen to the frame, with his feet together and off the ground, and his hands open and chained, like a human cross.
Soon, a piece of news spread rapidly in the county city.
The general idea was that Muyang Sect had gone through thousands of hardships and finally arrested Wei Chen, the sect traitor ten years ago.
In order to warn the younger disciples, Muyang Sect unanimously decided to publicly execute Wei Chen.
Muyang Sect would send people to monitor the whole process and cut a knife on Wei Chen's body every hour until he bled to death.
As for the location of the execution, it was placed opposite the government office. The purpose was naturally to use this to anger Lu Ren and force him to show up.
..........
In Wu Gang's study, many people, including Lin Jinyan, Zheng Lao, Su Ming, Guo Qi and Yuan Shi, gathered.
"Master Wu, Muyang Sect is too unruly. Are we going to sit back and watch?"
"Yes, they are guarding our door and torturing us. It is clear that they don't take our Demon Suppression Division seriously. If they don't make a statement, how will the people feel?"
Guo Qi also said: "That Wei Chen is an old acquaintance of Captain Lu. If he didn't know, it would be fine, but he is suffering inhuman torture under our noses. If we don't save him, Captain Lu will probably come back..."
Everyone's focus is different, but the ultimate goal is to persuade Wu Gang not to let Muyang Sect be lawless.
Wu Gang calmly picked up the pen and wrote, practicing calligraphy.
Unlike his rough appearance, his handwriting is extremely delicate and beautiful. You can tell at a glance that he has put a lot of effort into it.
Once upon a time, he was just an illiterate and impulsive man, and thus caused a lot of trouble.
Later, an old gentleman taught him to practice calligraphy to sharpen his mind.
At first, his handwriting was extremely sloppy, almost indistinguishable.
With the improvement of his realm and the increase of experience, he gradually learned to control his emotions and stay calm, just like now.
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Wu Gang slowly raised his head and said with a smile:
"Let's all go."
"Master Wu, don't you have anything to say?"
"Didn't I say everything I should say? Wei Chen is an old acquaintance of Lu Ren, what does it have to do with us? We have no obligation to save him. When entering and leaving the government office, just pretend you didn't see him and take care of yourself."
"But..." Guo Qi wanted to continue persuading.
Wu Gang slammed the brush heavily on the table with a "smack" sound, and said coldly: "This is an order! No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future."
After that, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
Lin Jinyan stayed until the end and did not join
Leave.
Wu Gang asked with a smile: "Why, even you can't stand it?"
"No." Lin Jinyan shook her head gently: "I understand your intention."
"Tell me about it?"
"You are betting."
"What are you betting on?"
"Before Lu Ren comes back, Mu Yang Zong will not really kill Wei Chen."
"You guessed right." Wu Gang nodded approvingly: "The less we care, the more anxious Mu Yang Zong will be."
"But have you ever thought about what if Wei Chen can't hold on until Lu Ren comes back?"
"Everything has to be traded off. I don't know what Wei Chen, but Lu Ren is my chosen successor, and he cannot take any risks.
Once Zhang Lanyue is handed over, Liu Mushen will know that his disciple was killed by Lu Ren, and the magic weapon was also taken away. With his vengeful character, he will definitely find ways to put Lu Ren to death. "
Lin Jinyan was silent for a moment: "I understand."
Just as she turned around and prepared to leave, Wu Gang said to her:
"You should also go to the miasma forest and try to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm as soon as possible."
Lin Jinyan paused and whispered "OK".
