"Boss... Boss..."

The middle-aged shopkeeper still couldn't escape, because the moment Jing Zhe set his sights on him, he wouldn't give him a chance to run away!

He hadn't run more than a few steps when he felt a chill on his neck.

He didn't even utter a sound before he could no longer speak.

Because his head was gone.

To catch a thief, first catch the king. Instead of catching Jing Zhe, he was beheaded.

Seeing this, the assassins lost all will to continue their attack. They immediately panicked and scattered in all directions!

With the assassins no longer throwing hidden weapons, Jing Zhe no longer needed to manifest his true energy. He put away the barrier, which immediately made things much easier, and he chased after them with his sword.

Pei Yunxi also went all out, with Jing Zhe chasing the Dark Knights behind him, while the ones in front of him were hers to deal with.

These assassins from the Dark Night were not highly skilled, and their lightness skills were naturally not very good either. So Jing Zhe easily leaped up and quickly killed all the assassins who were trying to escape.

When Jing Zhe turned around, he found that Pei Yunxi had also dealt with the assassins in front of him, leaving only one remaining.

"Zhe'er, should we leave him alive for questioning?"

Pei Yunxi held the sword to the Dark Envoy's neck and asked.

"Heh, kill me if you want, but you're dreaming! We Dark Knights would never—"

"Fourth Sister, there's no need to ask questions."

"oh…"

"..."

Before the Dark Envoy could even finish his harsh words, Pei Yunxi slit his throat.

"Pooh!"

Jing Zhe spat: "This son of a bitch, he still wants to show off to me?"

"..."

Pei Yunxi looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Zhe'er, did we really take the Half-Moon Powder?"

Seeing Jing Zhe nod, Pei Yunxi was shocked. She had thought that Jing Zhe was so bold because he must have a backup plan: "Then how could you still dare to kill them?"

"Fourth Sister, it's not like I was the only one who killed them. Why don't you kill them too?"

"I... I only killed because I saw you killing!"

Pei Yunxi glared at him, then continued worriedly, "Do you know how poisonous Half-Moon Powder is? What if we actually ingested it..."

After frowning deeply for a moment, Pei Yunxi sighed and said, "However, even I wouldn't stoop to the level of Prince Jin and compromise for this antidote! But..."

Pei Yunxi suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with deep affection, and said, "The Jing family line cannot end..."

"..."

Jing Zhe was stunned for a moment.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Fourth Sister is planning to leave an heir for the Jing family?

Looking around, the environment wasn't ideal, but it wasn't impossible...

"Fourth Sister, are you here? Let's sit in the car!"

Jing Zhe had previously done it in the car with Wang Yingqiu on their way to Jinxi, so he had some experience and made the suggestion.

"Go to the car? What for?"

Pei Yunxi frowned in suspicion.

"Fourth Sister just said she doesn't want the Jing family line to die out, doesn't that mean she wants to carry on the Jing family line? She can't do it outside, can she? Of course, I don't mind, it's just that I'm afraid Fourth Sister will be embarrassed."

"..."

Pei Yunxi's face went from white to red, then from red to white, and finally a mixture of red and white. She gritted her teeth and gave Jing Zhe's buttocks a hard slap.

"Oh dear, Fourth Sister, what are you doing?"

"I'll teach you a lesson! Let's see if you dare to think about such nonsense every day again!"

Pei Yunxi put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Um?"

Jing Zhe, rubbing his sore bottom from Pei Yunxi's slap, asked with some confusion, "That's not what Fourth Sister meant?"

"Are you really stupid or pretending? You want me to... have a child with you? I've also been poisoned by the Half-Moon Powder, how can I have a child, how can I continue the family line?"

"Oh, what does Fourth Sister mean?"

"What I mean is, let Master plead with Sect Leader Qingyang. Half-Moon Powder is a unique poison in Tongtianque, so Sect Leader Qingyang should have an antidote! I can't guarantee much, but with my Master's influence, Sect Leader Qingyang should be able to give you one. If you take it, you can preserve the Jing family's bloodline, right?"

"Oh, I see..."

After Pei Yunxi finished explaining, Jing Zhe suddenly understood. While feeling moved, he couldn't help but sneer, "Fourth Sister is overthinking it. If the Qingyang Sect Leader had an antidote, their Tongtian Palace wouldn't be so helpless, with everyone from top to bottom poisoned by the Half-Moon Powder!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yunxi's face suddenly darkened.

"He can't do it, but I can!"

As he spoke, Jing Zhe took out a small medicine bottle from his clothes.

He obtained five antidotes for the Half-Moon Powder after killing the Twin Monsters of Tongtian. He originally intended to give them to Qiu Qianqian, but later, because the old medicine boy made a better antidote, he took the five antidotes with him.

"What's this?"

"The antidote for Half-Moon Powder!"

So, Jing Zhe briefly recounted how he killed the two monsters of Tongtian. Pei Yunxi was overjoyed after hearing it, finally understanding why Jing Zhe dared to continue eating the food even though he knew it was poisoned. Besides wanting to lure out the assassins, the most important thing was that he had the antidote!

However, her joy was short-lived, and she soon put her hands on her hips again.

"Fourth Sister, what's wrong...?"

"If I had agreed just now, would you have actually dragged me to the car... to continue the family line?"

"that…"

"You bastard!"

While Jing Zhe hesitated, Pei Yunxi raised her hand and struck, scaring Jing Zhe into running away in a flash.

...

Jinxi, the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

A day later, the Prince of Jin received the news.

The more than twenty Dark Knights he sent out had not returned for a long time, so he sent out a special intelligence agent to tell him that all of the more than twenty Dark Knights had been killed!

However, the Half-Moon Powder they took has disappeared without a trace. Based on the evidence left at the first inn, the Half-Moon Powder has already been successfully used.

The King of Jin had both joy and sorrow.

The good news was that Jing Zhe and the others had been poisoned by the Half-Month Powder, and if they wanted to survive, they had to come to him.

Sadly, he's becoming increasingly unsure of Jing Zhe's temper. Why would he kill all the Dark Knights when he knew he was poisoned? Isn't he afraid that he won't give him the antidote?

Or perhaps he was certain that Su Xinping would be spared and that Su Xinping wouldn't dare kill him, which is why he acted so recklessly?

Thinking this, the Prince of Jin suddenly felt very angry!

"Prince Jin!"

At this moment, the Qingyang Sect Leader also arrived. He had obviously heard the news and his face was filled with fear.

"No need to rush! Although he killed everyone, there's no need to worry too much, because they've already taken Half-Moon Powder! We just need to send people to follow them. After five days, when the poison from Half-Moon Powder gradually takes effect and they feel unwell, our people can appear again. I don't believe he'll dare to be so audacious when the poison takes effect!"

If Jing Zhe had been poisoned by the Half-Moon Powder alone, given his reckless personality, he might have refused to give the antidote and even committed suicide with Su Xinping.

However, his fourth sister, Pei Yunxi, was also poisoned by the Half-Moon Powder. Would he really abandon his fourth sister?

The Prince of Jin thought to himself calmly.
