However, sometimes, one needs to be more careful when dealing with these servants.
Because if an outsider wants to harm you, you might be able to sense it, but if your own retainers want to betray you, you have no idea.
Because you never know when he might attack you.
Just like what happened between you and that bird demon.
Li Er only shouted once, and you've already been exposed. If you encounter a powerful monster, you might not even survive.
But all he did was shout it out, and that's what's truly terrifying.
Therefore, these guys should absolutely not be punished casually.
At home, if you want to punish someone, you need to have evidence, enough evidence to convince people, not indiscriminate killing.
This time, we have no evidence to prove whether he really wanted to harm you.
But he did it anyway. We couldn't stop him, but we also couldn't just kill him.
After all, the other servants were watching. If we were to take action, what would the consequences be? In the eyes of the other servants, it would be that we disregarded their lives.
Although we don't need to care, they think we've gone a bit too far.
Even if they don't show it, they will think that way in their hearts.
So, if we want to solve this problem, we need to use our brains.
Look, your father left Li Er behind this time, and when he comes back, it will be your father who comes back on his own.
When your father returns, something will happen: Li Er will be killed by demons while trying to subdue them.
Being killed by demons is rewarded and beneficial to future generations.
Even the other servants wouldn't think anything would happen, and even if they guessed it, they wouldn't complain.
After all, those family retainers would die sooner or later, so what they were thinking about was their descendants.
Moreover, dying in this way allows one to leave behind a good reputation and even receive rewards as gifts for one's descendants.
In this way, even if they guessed it, they would remember what Li Er had done before.
In this way, they would think that Li Er, a mere retainer and servant, almost caused the death of his young master.
However, the master still gave him a chance, a chance to die for honor.
Furthermore, future generations will not need to worry and will be able to continue living well.
In this way, they won't worry about their own problems.
In doing so, they will become afraid and restrain themselves, thus having a deterrent effect.
We achieved our goal, so remember this, Nezha: if you encounter something like this again, don't kill directly.
Because these subordinates could very well be the most loyal, but they could also become the most dangerous!
Upon hearing this, Nezha nodded emphatically, indicating that he had remembered it.
..........................................
A day later, Li Jing returned to the Li residence alone and announced the news of Li Er's death.
Li Er died after bravely fighting those demons and monsters, exhausting himself to death.
Therefore, he was a hero, and Li Jing also bestowed some wealth upon Li Er's descendants and relatives.
Furthermore, they were taken to the Li residence and given proper care.
Seeing this, Nezha understood.
"No wonder, no wonder Li Jing later became the Heavenly King. Although his strength was lacking, his ability to lead troops and his grasp of people's hearts were truly remarkable!"
On the other side, after returning to the main hall, Li Jing nodded to Madam Yin and said:
"Everything has been resolved, there are no problems, it's just that I'm having some trouble coming here."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yin immediately understood that it was Li Er's own problem, and there was no one else behind him.
At this moment, Lady Yin looked at Li Jing and said:
"Master, has the situation regarding that monster been thoroughly investigated?"
At this moment, Li Jing frowned and said:
"I have no clue yet, but something feels off about this whole thing. It's like there's an even bigger one lurking behind those guys."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yin frowned and said:
"So, what should we do about this?"
Li Jing: "Let's investigate first and see if we can find out what the problem is."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yin could only sigh and nod.
"That's all we can do."
At this moment, Jingjing spoke up, "Where is Nezha?"
Lady Yin: "After Nezha returned, he practiced his spear diligently, and he has already gone back to rest!"
Hearing this, Li Jing smiled and said...
"Haha, it seems that our three sons will be able to become great generals in the future."
Hearing this, Lady Yin smiled. After all, they were very happy that Nezha had become so well-behaved and obedient.
However, what they didn't know was that Nezha was resting in his room at that moment.
However, they ended up in the Starry Sky Chat Group.
"Hey! Nezha, what's up? What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Nezha looked at the people present and said:
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you, and I'd like to hear your thoughts."
This piqued everyone's interest.
"Oh, why don't you tell me?"
Nezha didn't hesitate and recounted everything. After listening, Li Lianhua touched his nose and said:
"You mean you suspect that the person behind this is very powerful, perhaps a heretical cultivator or something?"
Uncle Nine: "Uh... Third Prince, we don't know how to explain this to you either."
After all, none of us have ever seen that thing, nor have we ever witnessed such a thing!
Furthermore, it's not recorded in the Investiture of the Gods, and you've read it too; it doesn't mention these things, does it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
However, Zhang Chulan remained seated, silent, as if deep in thought.
Seeing this, the crowd called out several times, but Zhang Chulan seemed not to hear them.
Seeing this, Nezha also shouted a few times.
At this moment, Zhang Chulan finally came to his senses!
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Nezha: "No, Chu Lan, we just want to see what you think of the person behind this?"
After hearing this, Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes and said:
"I do have some thoughts on this matter, but I'm not entirely sure!"
Upon hearing this, Nezha said, "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Zhang Chulan did not refuse, but nodded and said:
"Skull Mountain, that place, apart from the Lady Shiji who was killed by Nezha's master in the records."
Actually, there was another cultivator, also a male immortal, who even appeared during the Shang-Zhou War.
He is extremely powerful, and this person enjoys eating human hearts.
Furthermore, he is an absolute cannibalistic demon king, and Skull Mountain is not too far from Chen Tang Pass.
After all, the location of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow was discovered as soon as Nezha shot it with an arrow.
That means she's very familiar with this area. So, Skull Mountain shouldn't be too far from here, right, Third Prince?
After hearing this, Nezha was stunned, and then said:
"You mean, the One Qi Immortal Horse Yuan!"
Chapter 465 The Man-Eating Demon King, Chu Lan's Plan
"The Immortal of One Qi, Ma Yuan!"
At this moment, the other group members all showed surprised expressions after hearing Zhang Chulan's words.
"The Immortal of One Qi, Ma Yuan, right, I remember now, are you talking about the one who was converted to Buddhahood by the West?"
Zhang Chulan nodded, then turned to look at Nezha and said:
"Do you remember, Nezha? It was twenty years after your feud with Shiji ended, according to the records."
Outside Xiqi City, a demon king, a man-eating demon king, arrived under Yin Jiao's command.
Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Nezha murmured to himself:
"Ma Yuan, also known as the One-Qi Immortal! According to your records, Ma Yuan was less than eight feet tall, with a face like a fox fur, a huge mouth and fangs, and wore bright red clothes."
Around his neck was a string of prayer beads made from human skull, and flames, like fiery serpents, emanated from his eyes, ears, and nose!
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan nodded and said in a deep voice:
"That's right, this Ma Yuan is a cannibalistic demon king, and he's also a guy who likes to eat human hearts."
So, Nezha, the person you've encountered this time is very likely this person.
However, this guy's strength is also extraordinary.
According to records, he ate several people back then.
