The young man vanished from the spot in an instant.

Ruan Yanqing frowned immediately.

The energy fluctuations when this spatial rift appeared were comparable to his strength, indicating that the kid was a high-level figure. It's just a pity we didn't manage to capture him.

Ruan Kongyin was also very disappointed to see that the person had run away, but when she remembered that there was another person, Night Owl, who was fighting Zhan Buhui, she felt that it wasn't too bad: "Uncle, there are still people on Zhan Buhui's side."

"Okay, I'll be right back." Ruan Yanqing glanced at Jiang Wuyuan, whose breath was weak. "Take good care of him, and don't be stingy with healing medicine."

"Yes, Uncle, don't worry."

Jiang Wuyuan had finished a bottle of healing potion, and the bleeding from the wound had barely stopped.

He looked at Ruan Kongyin's worried and self-reproachful face, and was about to say something when suddenly everything went black and he fainted.

——

When Jiang Wuyuan woke up again, he found himself lying in bed.

A clean ceiling and a comfortable bed.

My tense body finally broke free from the memories of last night and gradually relaxed.

Ruan Kongyin sat beside her, quietly turning the pages of the book in her hand.

As if sensing something, he turned his head and met Jiang Wuyuan's open eyes.

"Xiao Yuan, you're awake?" Ruan Kongyin put down her book in surprise. "How are you feeling? My uncle asked me to bring you to the infirmary. They've already arranged for someone to treat you."

Jiang Wuyuan examined his own body.

The wound has healed, and I feel no discomfort.

"I'm fine, don't worry," Jiang Wuyuan said calmly, as if he wasn't the one who had been seriously injured earlier.

Ruan Kongyin smiled, knowing that Jiang Wuyuan was probably curious about the aftermath, so she told him: "Lu Changqing, the branch leader of the Zhantian City Adventurer Guild, is an undercover agent for Night Owl."

He was fighting Zhan Buhui at the time, and the battle was extremely urgent. I wonder if you've ever heard of something called the Black Soul Banner?

“I’ve heard of it,” Jiang Wuyuan replied.

“According to Zhan Buhui, the young man who attacked us used a seventh-tier Black Soul Banner to help Lu Changqing, and Zhan Buhui heard Lu Changqing call that person the Holy Son.” Ruan Kongyin’s expression was solemn. “This time, the incident actually happened at the military headquarters. Zhan Buhui tracked it down here and didn’t expect to involve such a big fish.”

Although the big fish got away, at least we caught a small one.

Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "What is the purpose of capturing them alive?"

"You're really perceptive," Ruan Kongyin smiled. "Then I'll tell you. This incident has probably exposed you. It's good to be careful when you interact with others."

Someone in the military has been poisoned by a Gu poison. Within the Night Owl organization, there is a saint who has lived for hundreds of years; the Gu poison he creates is virtually incurable.

There are many types of Gu poison, some of which can even control a person's mind. You must be careful afterwards.

It turned out to be a Gu poison.

"So, Lu Changqing was captured to find a way to break the curse?"

“The chances are slim,” Ruan Kongyin said helplessly. “However, capturing him alive would have other benefits; perhaps we could learn a lot more about the Night Owl.”

Jiang Wuyuan responded.

"And then there's the Black Soul Banner. The process of making this thing is extremely cruel. It requires the souls of living people to be forcibly extracted and refined." Ruan Kongyin sighed. "Although our Dragon Kingdom does not support this kind of evil magic, the power of the Black Soul Banner is beyond doubt. So it's not bad to be able to get a Black Soul Banner for free this time."
