Facing Liang Xinghui's plea for mercy, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained unmoved, her expression tinged with indifference.
"Liang Gongzi, you were so arrogant before, and now you expect me to spare you with a few words of apology? It's too simple, don't you think?"
Her deep black eyes shimmered with a cold and lonely light. She was never one to show mercy.
She knew well the arrogance and hostility displayed by Liang Xinghui and the others. If they had emerged victorious, they would not have spared her so easily.
Xia Zhiqing and the others approached Bai Li Hongzhuang's side after witnessing the scene. They also wanted to see the current state of Liang Xinghui and the others begging for mercy.
As Bai Li Hongzhuang's words fell, Liang Xinghui and the others' faces couldn't help but turn ugly.
Clearly, Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group were not easy to deal with.
With this in mind, Liang Xinghui clenched his teeth and struggled, his face showing a hint of hesitation. Then, under the intense gaze of everyone, he knelt heavily on the ground.
Following Liang Xinghui's kneeling, Zhu Cheng and the others also knelt.
Perhaps, after this kneeling, they would lose face, but if they didn't do it, they wouldn't even have their lives.
Between these two choices, they chose the former without hesitation.
After all, life was the most important thing.
"Young lady, please have mercy on us," everyone pleaded one after another.
Liang Xinghui also spoke, "Young lady, as long as you spare us, we will never bear any grudges in the future. If you need us, we will never refuse."
For a moment, Liang Xinghui and the others looked hopefully at Bai Li Hongzhuang. Their lives were completely in her hands now.
Bai Li Hongzhuang turned slightly and looked at Xia Zhiqing and the others, wanting to know their thoughts.
Xia Zhiqing looked at the corpses not far away and a trace of compassion flickered in her eyes. She said, "Hongzhuang, spare them this time."
Although she was a cultivator, she had mostly killed demonic beasts so far and rarely took human lives.
Liang Xinghui's group consisted of eight people, and the thought of letting all eight of them die by their hands felt too cruel to her.
Bai Li Hongzhuang then looked at Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu, and the two nodded in agreement.
It seemed that Liang Xinghui and the others wouldn't dare to harbor any ill intentions towards them anymore.
Upon hearing Xia Zhiqing's words, Liang Xinghui and the others' eyes flashed with a bright light.
For them now, all they wanted was to survive.
Bai Li Hongzhuang looked deeply at Xia Zhiqing and the others, then nodded. "Very well."
As soon as these words were spoken, the anxious hearts of Liang Xinghui and the others finally calmed down. They felt a difficult-to-describe sense of relief.
Bai Li Hongzhuang turned back and looked at Liang Xinghui and the others again, her clear eyes filled with a cold and indifferent light.
"This time, we can spare your lives, but disturbing us will come at a price!"
The once joyful Liang Xinghui and the others became tense again upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words. They anxiously watched her, unsure of what price she would demand from them.
"Hand over the Qiankun Bag."
Bai Li Hongzhuang extended her fair palm, her beautiful face cold and merciless.
Anyone who had ill intentions towards them must pay the price!
Upon hearing this, Liang Xinghui and the others' faces turned grim. The Qiankun Bag was the foundation of every cultivator.
