The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 862: Heavenly Punishment and Negotiation

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Heavenly Punishment and Negotiation

Li Qing was now somewhat confused by what exactly he was facing, listening to it was almost like dealing with a case of multiple personality disorder, one moment an uncle, the next a child, speaking in a haphazard manner.

This situation neither resembled the blessed land that could foster heavenly treasures as described by Hong Fang Zhenren, nor did it seem like a place filled with malevolent spirits.

"If you want to keep me, it’s not impossible, but let’s see what skills you possess!" Li Qing said with a faint mocking smile, coldly speaking, "Anyway, I’ve realized that today’s situation is probably a matter of kill or be killed."

"How about this, send these few people out, and I will play along with you."

"Young friend, Burning Man Valley has its own rules, we do not intend to hurt people, but one must not trespass here without restraint!" The wind wailed, this time with an old man’s voice, sounding as if he could run out of breath at any moment.

"What are your rules? Let’s hear them!" Li Qing shouted sternly.

"Little brother, why are you so foolish? If these rules are spoken aloud, can they still be considered rules?" It was the voice of the little girl again, who among these numerous consciousnesses seemed relatively stronger.

However, it might also be because she talked more.

"Absolutely no deaths, either decide life or death, or give me a solution to the problem!" Li Qing shouted sternly.

"Big brother, actually... you could strike a few more times, maybe then, we might change our minds and make an exception for you," a very frail girl’s voice spoke up.

Though both were little girls, this girl’s voice was instantly soothing and comfortable to hear.

Not like the previous little girl, whose words were all cunning.

"Xiao Yingying, why are you throwing your support outward? This big brother is a cultivator, consuming him would definitely enhance our strength faster, how can you be so foolish? It makes me want to devour you," the previous little girl’s voice spoke again.

But this time, it was not addressed to Li Qing, but to the last girl who spoke.

Xiao Yingying’s voice responded, "Little brother did not violate the rules, and harming people would also bring us harm from the heavens, don’t act recklessly!"

"Xiao Yingying, but he wants to save those who have violated the rules!" the previous child spoke somewhat angrily, "Saving people always has a price, right? What are you hinting at him, come on, behave and let me devour you!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yingying suddenly burst out with a sharp shout, "Looking to die, are you?"

Suddenly, even Li Qing felt the dense Evil Qi emanating from the wind.

The usually gentle and soft-toned Xiao Yingying seemed somewhat terrifying when angered.

Just then, the whirlwind wrapped around Li Qing suddenly split into several streams, then collided together, fiercely entangling and fighting, and faintly, Li Qing could still hear the sounds of fierce combat and pained wailing.

This sudden turn of events left Li Qing even more bewildered.

So, what exactly is this place?

Why does it feel like it has taken on a group of psychopaths?

About seven or eight minutes later, the violently colliding whirlwinds finally came to a stop.

The calmed whirlwind wrapped around Li Qing, this time an old woman’s voice spoke, "Young friend, your mastery of the Thunder Method is indeed remarkable, but we in Burning Man Valley have our own rules, those who trample these rules, must surrender their souls."

"Out of respect for you, you can take their bodies away, but as for the souls... there’s absolutely no reason to return them."

"You talk about rules, I have my rules too, so bring it on!" Li Qing had figured out that today’s fight seemed inevitable, utterly beyond negotiation.

"By the way, where did that little girl just go?" Li Qing paused and then asked.

The sound of the wind wept through, and the old woman’s voice resumed, "There is no little girl here, only a group of wandering spirits accepted by heaven and earth, lingering in this place."

The souls of that little girl must have been divided among them by now.

Li Qing thought to himself and suddenly uttered a cryptic syllable.

They had asked him to use these two moves sparingly, but faced with such a situation, if Li Qing did not resort to the powerful Thunder Method, he would have no other plan.

Boom!

White lightning instantly lit up the night sky.

Thick bolts of lightning suddenly poured into the valley and then spread along the ground.

Lightning ravaged, the wind wept.

The silent Burning Man Valley suddenly seemed to have become another world, where wind and thunder raged.

Li Qing could faintly hear countless screams, but when he listened carefully, it seemed like nothing more than the howl of the wild wind.

In a corner unnoticed by Li Qing, on the cell phone left behind by Brother Hu and his team.

The chat in the live stream had exploded and was almost boiling over.

"Damn, this is it, brothers! I now declare that there really are cultivators in this world."

"Did you all hear what was just said? This place has its own rules, and then some people were killed. It seems our big boss here came to negotiate, but the deal went south, and now they’re fighting again."

"Let me add something, the dead are probably Brother Hu and his team. Of course, they might not be dead yet, but their souls have been drawn out. That’s the situation. I heard from the elders when I was a kid that it takes seven days for a person who has lost their soul to die completely."

"Why don’t you think it’s all staged?"

"Brother, it can’t be faked this realistically. Besides, did you notice that all we heard was the voice of this big boss alone, the rest seemed to be just the wind or something, and then look at the lightning that fell right after this guy finished talking. You try to enact something like that."

"Special effects, man! What’s so hard about that?"

"For crying out loud, wise men don’t bother with fools; this is real."

"No more talking, I’m buying a ticket to Sanhe Village right now, to see what Burning Man Valley is really like. Guys, follow for updates, wait for my news, once I get there I’ll stream live. Whether it’s real or fake, we’ll see for ourselves."

"Brother, if it’s real, take my advice, don’t go in there. They have their rules, and if you violate them, they’ll draw your soul out, it’s terrifying."

"Brother, I’m in the late stage of cancer, I won’t live many more days anyway, I might as well prove a truth of this world for everyone. If I really die, there are two things that will prove it: one, Burning Man Valley really does have rules, and two, there really are cultivators in this world."

...

The white lightning gradually faded, and the wind carried a very weak voice of a little girl.

"Big brother, take them away. We dare not defy the might of Heavenly Punishment, but we also cannot lightly break the rules of Burning Man Valley. After seven days, we will return the souls of these people."
