Chapter 1311 Strength and Reason

After listening to the conversation between Mei Qing and He Chang Zhenren, Qing Yang shook his head. Master Shi Han had protected Mei Qing so well over the years that Mei Qing was inexperienced and confused by a few words from He Chang Zhenren. No wonder he was sold out by him before.

Talking to others is a helpless act when the weak face the strong. In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. When one's strength reaches a certain level, there is no need to talk to the other party about reason. Qing Yang's ninth-level Jindan cultivation is not even a match for an ordinary Yuanying cultivator, let alone a seventh-level Jindan cultivator? Just crush him directly. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to argue with the other party?

Seeing that Mei Qing was about to lose, Qingyang waved his hand at her, then stepped forward and said to He Chang Zhenren: "What a sharp tongue, He Chang Zhenren, you are a senior in the Jindan stage, but you use these twisted theories to fool the foundation-building cultivators. It is really despicable. I won't say anything else. Now I want to hold you accountable for abandoning your friends and taking the reward without doing the work. What do you think?"

Qingyang's words immediately made He Chang Zhenren speechless. He was not afraid of Qingyang's reasoning. He had already thought of an excuse for himself before doing this. In addition, he was eloquent and could definitely push the responsibility away. So he was afraid that Qingyang would be unreasonable because of his cultivation. A Jindan ninth-level cultivator was two levels higher than him. It would be difficult for him to deal with him alone.

After a long consideration, He Chang Zhenren felt that it was unlikely that he could defeat Qing Yang. If a conflict occurred, he would be the only one who would suffer. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and said, "What do you want, Daoist friend?"

Qing Yang snorted coldly and said, "Killing someone means paying for his life, and owing a debt means paying for it. If you take the reward but don't do the work, you must return what you shouldn't have taken. If you abandon your friend and escape alone, you must also pay the corresponding price. I am Master Shi Han's best friend, and I must seek justice for his daughter."

Looking at Qing Yang's hateful face, He Chang Zhenren gnashed his teeth in hatred. If possible, he would never compromise, but after thinking again and again, he still felt that resistance would not have a good result. Qing Yang's cultivation was too high, and he could not deal with him at all, even if he asked for help. Yin Yang Valley was not a big place, and there were only a few late Jin Dan cultivators. Even if they were all called, they might not be Qing Yang's opponent, not to mention that with his appeal, it was impossible for him to call everyone to help.

When Mei Qing appeared, He Chang Zhenren knew which Nether Stones could not be saved. The only way to deal with it now was to compromise, so he threw out a collection talisman and said, "Okay, I admit defeat. All the Nether Stones I sold Mei Qing with are here. You can take them."

Qingyang took the collection talisman and looked at it. There were only 40,000 Nether Stones in it. Mei Qing was sold to a middleman by He Chang Zhenren. The starting price of Mei Qing at the auction was only 40,000 Nether Stones. This might be the price he sold it for. As for the auction price of more than 90,000 Nether Stones, it should have nothing to do with him.

Of course, Qingyang would not let Hechang off so easily, so he threw the collection talisman in his hand a few times and said, "Hechang, this number is not right, right? I spent 92,400 Netherworld Stones at the auction, and these 40,000 Netherworld Stones are not even half of it."

"I only received 40,000 Netherworld Stones at the auction. What does the more than 90,000 Netherworld Stones at the auction have to do with me? Daoist Qingyang should not look for me." Hechang said angrily.

"How is it not related to you? If it weren't for you, how could Mei Qing fall into the hands of the middleman? If you hadn't sold her to the middleman, how could I have spent tens of thousands of Netherworld Stones? All this is still because of you. If I don't ask you for the Netherworld Stones, who else can I ask?" Qingyang said coldly.

Master He Chang regretted it beyond words. He really shouldn't have been greedy for the tens of thousands of Nether Stones. As a result, he made a mistake and regretted it for the rest of his life. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he might even have to pay for the Nether Stones. This time, he really lost everything. He could only blame himself for not being lucky enough. Mei Qing happened to meet Master Shi Han's powerful best friend, who rescued her from the pit of fire.

As a late Jindan cultivator, he could still gather tens of thousands of Nether Stones, but the amount of Nether Stones he was given was too aggravating. He really didn't want to bleed, but the situation was stronger than him, and he had to give it up. Finally, He Chang Zhenren gritted his teeth and took out a collection talisman containing more than 40,000 Nether Stones and said, "I only have so much. If it's still not enough, then there's nothing I can do."

Although Mei Qing was auctioned by Chi Ye Zhenjun for more than 90,000 Nether Stones as compensation, when Qingyang knew that Mei Qing was the daughter of Master Shi Han, he didn't plan to take back these Nether Stones. He didn't expect to encounter this incident with He Chang Zhenren, and He Chang Zhenren still had a lot of Nether Stones.

Qingyang originally just wanted to cheat the other party, but he actually cheated more than 80,000 Nether Stones. Although it was still a long way from the auction price of more than 90,000, Qingyang also knew that He Chang Zhenren might have reached his limit, and there would not be much profit if he continued to cheat.

Qingyang casually threw the talisman containing 40,000 Nether Stones to Mei Qing. That was the money Mei Qing got from selling herself, so it was inappropriate for Qingyang to keep it. He kept the remaining talisman for himself. He had been busy with this matter from beginning to end, and he couldn't leave himself without any benefit.

Seeing Qingyang put away the Nether Stones, although his heart was bleeding, He Chang Zhenren still said: "The Nether Stones that should be given have been given, so it's none of my business now, right?"

Qingyang smiled and said: "Your responsibility for taking the payment but not doing the job has been sorted out. Now let's talk about your betrayal and abandoning your friends to escape alone."

He Chang Zhenren didn't expect that even if he gave the Nether Stones, it wouldn't work. He was deliberately making things difficult for him. He was immediately angry: "What else do you want, fellow Daoist?"

Qingyang sneered: "Master Hechang, don't treat us as fools. The two of you went out to explore together, but only you came back. You said you were in danger and couldn't take care of yourself, but who can prove it? I also suspect that you were tempted by money on the way and secretly harmed Master Shihan. As Master Shihan's best friend, how can I not seek justice for him?"

Master Hechang had tasted the bitterness of his just-made arguments with Mei Qing. The two of them went out together, but only one person came back. It is really possible that he killed his companion. There is no evidence to prove this kind of thing, so whoever is stronger has the truth.

Master Hechang is eloquent, but he was so angry with Qingyang that he couldn't speak for a long time. He said angrily: "You... don't go too far. I was wrong to deceive Mei Qing's niece first. I also admit that I will pay double the compensation of the dark stone, but going out to explore is an extremely dangerous thing. Whoever is unlucky should be unlucky. What does it mean for you to put all the responsibility on me?"
