"No need for that, Nineteenth Senior Brother, just lie down."
Jia Xitong pressed down on his head, then took out the explosive talismans she had hoarded.
Two bills were a bit too few, and four bills were a bit too many, so she threw away three.
boom--!
The already dilapidated house collapsed instantly, and the kidnappers were blown away in their sleep.
"They're gone."
Jia Xitong reminded her 19th senior brother, who was stunned by the explosion, to run. Knowing that she had short legs and couldn't run fast, she climbed on his shoulders and grabbed his hair to prevent him from falling off.
The nineteenth senior brother reacted quite quickly, and his running speed was no less than that of the giant rhinoceros.
"Guards! They've escaped!"
It turned out that there was more than just one group guarding them; the robbers had more accomplices than one might have imagined.
In the pitch black, and without knowing their route, they were quickly overtaken.
The nineteenth senior brother prepared to fight them bare-handed, but Jia Xitong took out explosive talismans and lightning-attracting talismans and threw them out in a flurry, injuring wave after wave of martial arts practitioners who came up.
"Xitong, you're amazing!"
The nineteenth senior brother was completely dumbfounded.
Junior Brother Yan is strong, and the magical beasts he raises are just as strong?
Just when he thought Xitong was going to be invincible, Jia Xitong told him some terrible news: "Nineteenth Senior Brother, please run fast, I've used up all my attack methods."
In the past few days, she has been working on Zhuyou talismans, solidification talismans, and explosion and lightning-attracting talismans, all of which were stockpiled in the past.
The nineteenth senior brother heard it, and so did the people chasing behind.
"You've hurt so many of my brothers, where do you think you're going to run now!"
The remaining accomplices of the robbers surrounded them, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at the Nineteenth Senior Brother and Jia Xitong. "I'll tear you to pieces!"
They charged up!
"Nineteenth Senior Brother, run to the left!"
Even if you run into the sky, I'll catch you!
The robber swore a solemn oath, and then a red talisman was thrown in his face.
The group of people, frightened by the power of the talismans, quickly dodged them. When they realized that the talismans had no effect at all, they roared and gave chase.
"Little Bucket, what did you throw away last?"
The nineteenth senior brother looked at the papers and felt they looked somewhat familiar.
"Incantation talisman and solidification talisman."
The nineteenth senior brother slipped and exclaimed, "That one on the black market that costs five hundred taels?!"
His voice rose uncontrollably.
Those red papers are worth five hundred taels each?!
The kidnappers chasing behind also heard it.
They had been making a living through bloodshed for over a decade, and hadn't even saved up five hundred taels of silver in total. The bandits who had been relentlessly pursuing them suddenly stopped and scrambled back.
That's the power of spending money.
Even the nineteenth senior brother was accidentally injured.
All he could think about now was the solidified talisman, five hundred taels; the incantation talisman, five hundred taels, and lots and lots of five hundred taels.
It took a lot of courage to restrain myself from turning back and grabbing it.
But as he ran, he started to cry.
He often sees others with fixed charms, but he doesn't have any.
He finally saved up twenty taels of silver to buy it, but he was cheated.
He mustered up the courage to complain to Xitong, but on the way he was ambushed and beaten black and blue. He had just watched as many talismans brushed past him.
Were ten talismans thrown away?
There must be more than that.
He probably wouldn't earn that many talismans in his entire life.
It was all flung away by the thin bucket!
The nineteenth senior brother couldn't hold back any longer and broke down.
Why can a Warcraft have so many runes?
Jia Xitong grabbed her nineteenth senior brother's hair and saw some small water droplets sliding down his cheeks. "Nineteenth senior brother, are you injured?"
"No."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Senior brother didn't cry; he's just had his edges worn down by life."
The nineteenth senior brother gave a smile that was more like a grimace. "Xitong, it would have been better if you had used two fewer talismans just now."
Jia Xitong: ...I think I know why my nineteenth senior brother is crying now.
She then took out some solidification talismans and blessing talismans, about six or seven in total. "Good luck, Senior Brother Nineteen. When we get back to Qing Shuang Peak, I'll give you this whole stack."
Even the nineteenth senior brother was dumbfounded.
Can you please not take a huge handful at once? It makes these talismans seem worthless!
They escaped danger, but then got lost.
Jia Xitong returned to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness and told him their current situation.
"Okay, tell the nineteenth prince not to come back yet."
Shang Yanting looks very busy, having traveled to many places. He is currently talking to Zhen Niu Niu.
Jia Xitong wanted to ask why, but she kept quiet to avoid causing him trouble.
"be safe!"
Shang Yanting suddenly said to her.
"Yes, yes, I will protect my nineteenth senior brother."
"It's not about protecting others, it's about protecting yourself!"
He felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Jia Xitong's reply, "Don't always think of others. If there's any danger, you can abandon anyone!"
Jia Xitong acted in a flurry of activity; she only heard the first half of the sentence and not the second half.
##
Jinyang Peak
Jia Xitong and Lao Shijiu successfully escaped, causing Shang Jiuming's plan to fail by more than half.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
The subordinate inquired cautiously.
If they can't produce hostages by then, the talks are very likely to break down.
"The disciple from Qing Shuang Peak hasn't returned yet; we've sent more people to search everywhere."
In addition, more assassins were sent to Long Shaofeng.
"Kill Yan Qing as soon as he arrives at Longshao Peak!!"
Having lived under Shang Yanting's shadow, Shang Jiuming had long since developed a jealous nature. He appeared outwardly virtuous and upright, but in reality, he couldn't tolerate anyone being more outstanding than him, or anyone surpassing him!
