Chapter 228 Xiaoqiang! You died a terrible death!
"Sigh, Xinggong is rotten to the core. Brother Qing, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Ling Yuling sighed.
The problems within the Star Palace have become so entrenched that they are impossible to manage.
To get rid of these blood-sucking worms crawling on Xinggong's body, you need to use a knife to cut away the rotten flesh along with the body.
If these bloodsucking insects are not dealt with, how can the Star Palace gain the respect of its people?
The path of tyranny is not a long one; only by following the path of benevolence can the glory of the Star Palace be restored.
"Hehe, you're too kind, Madam. It's my duty as your son-in-law to restore the glory of the Star Palace."
Qingfeng smiled slightly and looked up at the sacred mountain.
Within the range of his divine sense, a streak of light was flying towards them.
He was very familiar with the aura of that streaking light; it belonged to Elder Zou, "Zou Wen," who was in charge of intelligence and information at the Star Palace.
"With a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, the family occupies two inner star islands with spirit stone mines."
Moreover, his underlings are spread throughout the Star Sea. You could say he's the CIA director of the Star Palace. Not bad, not bad, just the right weight. Let's start with you.
Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and grabbed the young master of the Zou family.
The streaking light arrived in an instant, and a middle-aged cultivator with a square face, dressed in a purple brocade robe, landed in front of the city gate.
His gaze swept across the scene, first seeing the Zou family cultivators lying on the ground, then seeing his grandson Zou Tianci, who was captured by Qingfeng with one hand and had all four limbs severed.
"A gift from heaven!"
Elder Zou took a step forward, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Because he could see Qingfeng's face clearly.
Qingfeng is the son-in-law of the Twin Saints of the Star Palace. His father, the Three Yang Old Demon, is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
"How could it be him?!"
Elder Zou's mind raced. He took a deep breath, and his angry expression vanished instantly, replaced by a humble and respectful one.
"So it is Fellow Daoist Qingfeng in person. I am Zou Wen. May I ask what I, a descendant, have done to offend you?"
Zou Wen bowed respectfully and looked at the physically disabled Zou Tianci.
"You descendant, first you disobeyed the rules of the Star Palace, and then you spoke disrespectfully to my ladies. What, are you here to seek justice for him?"
Qingfeng threw the crippled Zou Tianci in front of him, trying to provoke the old man.
However, Elder Zou ignored the agonizing cries of his descendants on the ground and instead bowed to Ling Yuling again.
"Fellow Daoist Qing, Young Palace Master, my grandson has been spoiled since childhood and doesn't know his place. He offended you both today and deserves to die."
But... he is, after all, my only grandson.
I have served the Star Palace for hundreds of years, rising from a humble cultivator to an elder of the Star Palace.
"I shamelessly beg you two to show mercy and spare his life. I will punish him severely when I return!"
Elder Zou first admitted his mistake and backed down, then used his seniority to plead for leniency.
If Qingfeng continues to pursue the matter, it will inevitably discourage those who have contributed to the Star Palace.
Seeing that this old fox was playing tricks, Ling Yuling looked at him coldly.
She knew perfectly well that the reason her identity and whereabouts were exposed and she was almost captured by the Reverse Star Alliance was because this old man betrayed her information.
This act of pretending to be a loyal subject now disgusts her.
Qingfeng glanced at Ling Yuling, as if he knew what she was thinking.
"Alright, since Elder Zou has spoken, I should give him face."
Hearing Qingfeng's words, Elder Zou felt relieved and was about to thank him when he heard Qingfeng change the subject.
"However, although the matter concerning your descendants is settled, the matter of the Zou family causing the death of my spirit pet still needs to be settled."
Qingfeng closed his folding fan, pointed at Elder Zou, and his expression suddenly turned somber.
"Did the Zou family kill your spirit pet?"
Elder Zou frowned slightly, realizing that Qingfeng's visit was not well-intentioned.
"Elder Zou, just now when the Zou family's caravan entered the city, it ran over and killed one of my spirit insects."
I raised that insect from a larva to adulthood; we were deeply attached to it, like family. Today, it died tragically under the car; my heart is breaking, I am in unbearable pain!
Qingfeng's voice was low and his eyes were red, showing a genuine sense of grief.
"This... May I ask Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, what kind of spirit insect was it? If it was truly crushed to death, I will certainly compensate for it."
Elder Zou cupped his hands and asked.
Qingfeng did not answer, but instead walked towards the Zou family's car.
Qingfeng walked to the bicycle frame, bent down, and carefully picked something up from the mud under the wheels.
He held it in his palm and slowly walked back.
Everyone looked closely—it was a squashed cockroach.
Qingfeng held the flat cockroach in his hands, looked up at the sky and howled, tears streaming down his face.
"Xiaoqiang! You died such a terrible death!"
You've followed me for so many years, risking your life with me, and venturing into the stars with me, yet now you've been crushed to death by the villains of the Zou family!
Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you today and make them pay for their crimes in blood!
Qingfeng cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face.
The actors' superb acting skills and rich emotions left Wang Ning and Wen Siyue speechless.
Ling Yuling's lips curled up slightly as she forced herself not to laugh out loud.
Zou Wen's face turned completely dark.
It was a cockroach, the kind you could find anywhere, the kind that you could crush an entire colony of with one stomp.
What kind of spirit pet is that?!
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, this..."
Elder Zou took a deep breath, trying to say something.
However, Qingfeng didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
He suppressed his grief; his face was still wet with tears, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Elder Zou, my spirit insect is extremely precious, a once-in-a-century find. Today it has met a tragic end under the wheels of your Zou family's carriage. Tell me, how do you intend to settle this score?!"
Before Qingfeng could finish speaking, he flipped his palm and a long sword appeared out of thin air.
The Golden Thunder Fire Sword is wreathed in golden flames and flashes with lightning.
As soon as the sword was drawn, the temperature within a radius of a hundred feet rose sharply, and a violent, scorching aura filled the air.
Seeing that Qingfeng was deliberately picking a fight, Elder Zou's lips twitched, but the situation was beyond his control, so he dared not retaliate.
"This...this is indeed the fault of the Zou family. I am willing to accept whatever compensation Fellow Daoist Qingfeng wishes to offer."
Elder Zou relented.
"Four hundred thousand spirit stones, or you can pay with the lives of your Zou family."
Qingfeng offered a price.
"Four...four hundred thousand?"
Elder Zou was stunned. Four hundred thousand spirit stones to compensate for a cockroach?
"Yes, pay me 400,000 spirit stones, and we'll call it even. What, you don't want to pay? Or are you prepared to use the lives of the Zou family as compensation?"
Qingfeng's tone gradually turned cold.
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, please wait. I will accept the loss of 400,000 spirit stones. Here are 400,000 spirit stones. Please count them, Fellow Daoist Qingfeng."
Elder Zou forced a smile, reluctantly took out a storage bag, and tossed it to Qingfeng.
Qingfeng took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense. He nodded in satisfaction; it was full of mid-grade spirit stones.
"Xiao Qiang, rest in peace. Elder Zou has already compensated with spirit stones; your revenge has been achieved."
After saying that, he solemnly placed the cockroach on the ground and picked up a stone from the roadside to place next to it, thus setting up a grave.
Seeing that Qingfeng had stopped making things difficult, Elder Zou breathed a sigh of relief.
Things that can be solved with spirit stones are not really problems.
Sooner or later, these spirit stones will be embezzled back from the Star Palace.
However, just as he was about to leave with his grandson, Qingfeng called him back again.
"Huh? Elder Zou, how come you, a mere Star Palace elder, have so many spirit stones in your possession?"
As far as I know, there is a medium-sized spirit stone mine on the inner star island where the Zou family lives.
Over the years, the mining of that spirit mine has been controlled by your family.
Taking 400,000 spirit stones so easily is something I know most Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't carry around so many mid-grade spirit stones.
But Elder Zou seemed quite relaxed as he took out these spirit stones.
"Could it be that your Zou family has embezzled spirit stones that were supposed to be handed over to the Star Palace's treasury?"
Qingfeng looked at him and questioned him.
That old bastard finally fell into the trap.
Seeing Qingfeng's aggressive and relentless pursuit, Elder Zou clenched his fists, his heart filled with rage.
But then he thought of something and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
