Chapter 203 Dream of a Past Life (9)
"Could it have been the Kong family who did it?!"
These words caused an uproar. The people present were all from the city, and some of them knew about this incident. Nothing is more convincing than a real case right in front of them.
Wu was taken aback. "Uncle, is the child you're talking about named Li Gou Dan? He's about seven or eight years old and has a mole on his ear."
The uncle was taken aback, then hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Old Li and his wife said that a humble name is easier to raise, and they were thinking of asking Gou Dan's master to give him a proper name after he joins the sect."
"Young man, have you seen him? His mother can't find him, she's gone crazy!"
Wu You said with difficulty, "Half a month ago, my brother and I were locked in the dungeon, and we saw him there."
"He spoke a few words to us, and then he was taken away and never came back..."
Everyone knew that the child was probably in grave danger.
The local residents, including their relatives, also had missing children, and they were furious!
The head of the Kong family had been trying to interrupt Wu You, but for some reason, he couldn't say a word.
He looked up at Yun Zhao's indifferent eyes and realized that she had done something wrong.
Having finally regained his ability to speak, he saw that the people were indignant and wished they could tear down the Kong family's house right then and there.
Among them, the Kong family head also saw several people from rival families.
He gritted his teeth and amplified his voice with his spiritual power, "Everyone, please wait a moment. I really don't know what that beast Kong Chi has done. Today, Brother Wu You's words have shown me his true colors."
"I'll have someone arrest him right now. Once it's confirmed that he did those things, I swear on the Kong family line, I will uphold justice and punish him severely!"
“No need,” Yun Zhao said. “There’s no need for Patriarch Kong to make the trip. My people have already gone to great lengths to bring the person over.”
As soon as the head of the Kong family turned his head, he saw a girl carrying Kong Chi over like a dead dog.
"Bang--"
She threw Kong Chi to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Following behind Xue Huairui was a group of children, the oldest being fifteen or sixteen and the youngest four or five. They all had injuries, and they helped each other walk out.
The onlookers, who had been watching the spectacle, immediately forgot about the show and pulled the children over when they saw the familiar-looking children.
Some people recognized the child as their own, while others recognized the child as a relative's or neighbor's child, and they all protected the child with heartache.
The head of the Kong family sensed something was wrong. He wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Kong Chi to admit defeat first, and then make plans later, but Yun Zhao's actions had disrupted his plans.
"Kong Chi," the Kong family head gritted his teeth, "tell me, did you practice evil arts, kidnap those children, and refine them into pills?"
His fingers inadvertently landed on a vital point, attempting to leave no evidence against him.
No matter what they say at that time, it will only be Kong Chi's fault, and has nothing to do with the Kong family.
Xue Huairui sneered, seized the opportunity to kick the Kong family head away, and looked down at Kong Chi, "Your father is going to kill you to silence you, aren't you going to get up?"
"Nonsense!"
The head of the Kong family, ignoring the pain in his chest from the kick, gasped for breath, "When did I ever want to kill my son to silence him? Chi'er, she's trying to sow discord between us!"
Kong Chi opened his eyes, looked at the Kong family head, and remained silent for a moment.
"Patriarch Kong truly loves his son dearly; his paternal love is truly moving. It is said that if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. Kong Chi has committed a heinous crime. Why don't you, as his father, take the blame for him?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I don't necessarily want to take revenge on Kong Chi. If someone else takes the blame for him, I'd be happy to."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Kong Chi's eyes. He propped himself up and pleaded, "Father..."
The head of the Kong family paused, closed his eyes, and said, "Chi'er, you have committed too many evils, your father cannot save you!"
“I can save him,” Yun Zhao said, spoiling the mood. “As long as you are willing to die for Kong Chi, I guarantee that I will save Kong Chi’s life.”
The light in Kong Chi's eyes grew brighter and brighter, but the Kong family head no longer looked at him.
He hasn't lived enough yet, and besides, he has more than one child, Kong Chi.
The head of the Kong family said in a deep voice, "Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. I hope that after you have taken your revenge, you will not implicate any innocent members of my Kong family."
Kong Chi's eyes widened immediately. "Father, you—"
The head of the Kong family interrupted him, "Chi'er, your father also wants to save you, but the Kong family still needs me. You... I can only pray for your good fortune."
Kong Chi was stunned for a full ten seconds, then suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
"My father is such a hypocrite. He says he wants to save me, but he doesn't mean it."
Kong Chi smiled gloomily, "I'm going to die. Since that's the case, then my dear father, and the Kong family, may you all come with me!"
The head of the Kong family guessed what Kong Chi was planning to do, and his expression changed. He wanted to stop him, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier around Kong Chi, preventing him from getting close to him.
Kong Chi took out a stack of letters and papers, as well as a few photographic stones, from his storage bag, and threw them into the crowd with a wave of his hand.
The person who found the recording stone subconsciously activated it and heard some familiar voices coming from inside, including the head of the Kong family and other members of the Kong family.
Their conversation clearly concerned the use of living people to refine elixirs.
What's chilling is the data recorded on the paper, which lists the origins of some of the children, not only from Tianyuan City, but also from other cities.
Some even spotted the child of the Nine Heavens Palace, one of the four major powers.
"Hiss, that's the Nine Heavens Palace! Even if it's just the child of an outer sect elder, that's still provoking them. How dare the Kong family!"
"In my opinion, even if these fellow Daoists spare the Kong family, the Kong family will still be difficult to escape being wiped out!"
The head of the Kong family no longer wanted to hear what they had to say. His eyes were vacant, and only two words echoed in his mind.
Finished!
The Kong family is truly finished!
The head of the Kong family made a firm decision and sent a message to the old patriarch. Then, at his command, the Kong family guards blocked the entrance to the mansion.
"Kong Chi is at your disposal, but if anyone dares to set foot in the Kong family compound, our Kong family will fight you to the death!"
Upon hearing this, the rival families who were hoping to take advantage of the situation immediately fell silent.
The Kong family also has an ancestor, who is the father of the Kong family head. They dare not guarantee that the old Kong family head will not appear here at any moment.
Seeing this, the head of the Kong family breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as we can delay for a while until my father comes out of seclusion, he will have people take the family members out to seek refuge. As long as we are alive, we can always rebuild!
Yun Zhao gave Zi Xu a look, and Zi Xu understood. He grabbed Kong Chi and left with Wu You.
Afterwards, Yun Zhao sat on the chair that Xue Huairui had brought out, leisurely watching the excitement.
Not content with making things worse, she shouted, "Is there anyone who can stand up for justice? If the younger one gets beaten, I'll help out and pin the older one down."
Some quick-witted people asked, "Fellow Daoist, the former patriarch of the Kong family was a Void Refinement stage expert, just one step away from the Body Integration stage. Can you defeat him?"
