Chapter 1063: Settling Floating Cloud Cave (II)
Li Minggong’s words made Miaoshui look up in astonishment. She had scarcely met Li Minggong a few times, and had even fought and injured her once. Of all people, she never expected Li Minggong to plead on her behalf.
Li Minggong, however, had no such thoughts. Hidden Cloud Cave was backed by the Baiye Capital Immortal Dao. Although the Li Family had Li Zhouwei and Li Chenghui, their manpower was stretched thin. Even if they wanted to make a move, they would never wish to face a united Hidden Cloud Cave resisting to the last.
Even if this must be reckoned with, it should be after the fact, never at this moment! Miaoshui shows some womanly compassion. She is considered clean enough within Hidden Cloud Cave. If she is slain, everyone there would know that none could survive under my family's hand, thought Li Minggong.
Now, Li Zhouwei finally had an excuse to relent. However, he was still thinking of striking Hidden Cloud Cave before they could react and catching them unprepared. Naturally, he could not risk killing Miaoshui and alarming Daoist Wenhu.
Thus he said in a deep voice, "Since my aunt vouches for you, I will spare your life for now. Put away your dharma artifact."
Miaoshui hesitated for a moment before recalling the water sword in midair. Li Minggong's blazing fire dissipated a moment later.
She hurried over to Li Zhouwei and clasped her hands with a trace of embarrassment. "I greet my lord."
Li Zhouwei nodded. The two devil cultivators were still held in Qu Buzhi's grasp. Judging by their cultivation of the Blood Dharma Manual, they were the sort who had murdered to refine resentment and baleful qi. They had stumbled into Foundation Establishment Realm by sheer chance. The demonic qi above their heads nearly pierced the sky.
The Wen Yi and Wen Shan brothers, who managed the fire veins in the mountains, were at least orthodox cultivators of the Eastern Sea's Devil Dao. By contrast, these two men had shallow foundations and were useless. Their sins were far too heavy.
Li Zhouwei hardly spared them a glance and simply ordered, "Tie them up and hold them in the mountains. We will decide later."
