Chapter 789 Testing

After explaining, Xie Jiang pointed at the sea snake monster and said: "The sea snake monster on the left is cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, with a brutal temperament. It not only kills human monks, but also monster tribes. The king has repeatedly warned him, but this monster has always turned a deaf ear to it, and even had the audacity to swallow the envoy sent by the king. This is intolerable. For those who dare to challenge the majesty of Hengxing Island, whether they are human monks or monsters, there is only one way to die."

After introducing the sea snake monster, Xie Jiang immediately said: "This person is called Xiying. He came to my Hengxing Island a year ago. Because of some minor festivals, he killed a direct relative of a manager of my Hengxing Island. Although it was unintentional, killing can be a life for a life and debts must be paid. Since this person killed someone from my Hengxing Island, he must pay with his life."

After listening to Xie Jiang's introduction, Qingyang finally understood why Xiying fell into this situation. Qingyang had the Wind-controlling Gourd, so it only took him a few months to reach Wucheng Island. Xiying didn't have a suitable flying spiritual tool, so he was traveling slowly. It was also possible that he encountered other things on the way to escape, so it took him several years to reach Hengxing Island.

He was also unlucky. He had an argument with a relative of a manager of Hengxing Island, accidentally killed the other party, and was caught by the people of Hengxing Island. Xiying was stranded here alone, and there was no one to help him get rid of the crime, so he became a prisoner of Hengxing Island.

During this period, Xiying suffered a lot and had long been desperate about his situation, so when he was pulled to participate in the life and death competition, he looked like this now.

Looking at Xiying on the stage, who was living a life worse than death, Qingyang couldn't help but feel pity. It's not that Qingyang wanted to be a good guy, but this Xiying was once his companion, and they all came from the Jiuzhou Continent and had shared hardships. It seems a bit unreasonable to watch him die without helping him.

Strictly speaking, Qingyang was able to embark on the path of cultivating immortals because of Xiying's care. If he hadn't met her, it would be fine. Now that Xiying was about to die in front of him, how could he remain indifferent? He had just helped the rampant demon king a lot, so he still had some face. This matter was just a piece of cake for him, and he wouldn't lose anything by trying it.

Seeing that the game was about to start, Qingyang quickly stood up and said, "Rampant Demon King, I have an unwelcome request, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

As one of his most important guests, the rampant demon king still paid a lot of attention to Qingyang, but Qingyang always behaved very steadily, even when others were crazy about the game on the field, Qingyang still looked calm. The rampant demon king even thought that Qingyang was just a low-key and hardworking cultivator, and all the things outside could not arouse his interest.

But he didn't expect Qingyang to ask for something at this time. The rampant demon king was also very curious about what Qingyang would ask of him at this time, so he said, "Qingyang is too polite. You are a distinguished guest of my rampant island. Just tell me what you want."

Hearing the rampant demon king mention Qingyang's name, Xiying in the middle of the venue suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction where Qingyang was speaking. When she saw that it was really Qingyang who went out to sea with him on the spirit ship, Xiying burst into tears of joy. Finally, she met an acquaintance again.

The reason why he accepted his fate before was because he had experienced too much despair and could not see any hope. Naturally, his heart was dead, and he only wanted to die quickly to avoid humiliation. And now Qingyang's appearance is like a dying person suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw, and it is a rough straw that can talk to the rampant demon king. How can he not be overjoyed?

What Xiying was thinking was not worth mentioning for the moment. After hearing what the rampant demon king said, Qingyang paused for a moment and said, "This Xiying on the field is a friend of mine, so I want to ask the demon king for a favor. Can he be spared from the life and death competition? As for the crime he committed, I will not make it difficult for the demon king. You can ask the victim to name a price, and we will try our best to compensate."

"This..." The rampant demon king hesitated.

It's not that this matter is so difficult to handle. Xiying only killed a relative of a manager of the Hengxing Island, not an important person, and he killed him by mistake, so the crime is not serious. The reason why Xiying fell into this situation is that he is an outsider. No one can help him get rid of the crime. Whether he can be let go is entirely a matter of a word from the rampant demon king.

The reason why the rampant demon king hesitated is that he didn't want Qingyang to think that this matter was too simple. If he could easily solve it with a word, this favor would be too small.

However, some people regarded the hesitation of the rampant demon king as a embarrassment. This person was naturally the group of Blood Skull. The feud between them and Qingyang could no longer be resolved. They wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but they did not know what Qingyang's status was in the rampant island. Would the rampant demon king deliberately favor Qingyang? Therefore, they did not dare to easily reveal their attitude. Now was a good time to test it.

Moreover, Xiying on the scene was also a witness to their attack on the Wantong Pavilion spirit ship last time. If he survived, there would be another hidden danger, so they had to stop him no matter what.

Just when the rampant demon king hesitated, Blood Skull suddenly interrupted and said, "Aren't you making the demon king embarrassed? Brother Xie said before that killing someone means paying for one's life and owing a debt means paying for one's money. If Xiying killed someone, he should pay for his life. If the demon king easily lets go of the murderer who killed his subordinates' relatives because of your words, how can he face his subordinates in the future?"

Originally, the rampant demon king was just a little hesitant, but now after hearing the plan of the blood skull, he couldn't help but nod his head. This made sense. If he was too partial to Qingyang, the consequences would be very serious. The manager didn't dare to say much on the surface, but he would definitely be dissatisfied with him in private. If he did too much of this, his subordinates would gradually become alienated from him.

The blood skull was unreasonable and didn't wait for Qingyang to speak. He said, "Besides, I don't know how much effort the rampant island spent for this life and death competition to find these two death row prisoners. If you rescued one of them, how can the following competition proceed? Everyone is waiting to watch it, and the eight-legged demon king and Linfeng Zhenren are also looking forward to it. Do you think everyone has to accommodate you?"

The blood skull's words touched everyone's heart. Yes, we are all waiting to watch the life and death competition, but you let the rampant demon king pardon one of them with just one sentence. How can the remaining demon beast compete? How can you spoil the interest of so many people just because of you?

Especially the eight-legged demon king. He had been whetted by the previous life-and-death competition and was now feeling torn. He was waiting to watch the next game, but suddenly Qingyang showed up and not only delayed the game, but also wanted to rescue one of the players. This was outrageous.
