Chapter 605 - 349: Solution
"The rules of Jieshan City are clear: if you kill someone in Jieshan City, you must face punishment!" Li Yuanba said sternly, looking at Weng Yi.
His divine thought rested on Weng Yi. Although Weng Yi no longer had the Fourth-Grade Long Sword, Li Yuanba was not ready to take action just yet, knowing from Weng Yi’s inner thoughts that he was unaware of his involvement in the affair.
Weng Yi still thought everything stemmed from two fellow Qi Refining Cultivators who had grown greedy and had been detected by the great formation of Jieshan City when they made their move.
This had attracted the Guardian Golden Core of Jieshan City—a cultivator whose Sword Intent was extremely formidable, rarely matched by others within the Golden Core Sword Cultivators.
"I implore you to investigate thoroughly, my lord. They attacked me suddenly, and I merely retaliated. I offer that treasure to you, my lord, please spare my life!" Weng Yi pleaded with some repression as he knelt down.
While he thought of various spiteful means of revenge, he was unaware that Li Yuanba was listening to his every thought.
"Come with me to the Guardian Mansion first, and I will investigate thoroughly!" Li Yuanba said coldly, glancing at him indifferently.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Ju Chang Shop and several stewards had come over, looking at the scene of the murder in the house, yet they did not speak up for Weng Yi.
Weng Yi was not a disciple of the Thousand Illusion Sect, but only a Loose Cultivator they had recruited.
Since he had committed a crime in Jieshan City, it was only appropriate for Jieshan City to deal with him.
