Upon seeing Cai Die bound hand and foot, Master Xianyun was overjoyed. Yun Zhihong, that old fox, was truly capable.
He then threatened, "If you want your mother to live, you'd better surrender."
"Yan'er, don't worry about your mother. As long as you are well, your mother is willing to die."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Zhihong, enraged, ordered his men to put a knife to her neck: "You lowly servant, shut your mouth!"
The onlookers exchanged glances, their expressions turning strange.
A prime minister and a national advisor, to deal with a "little monster," actually have to threaten the life of a weak woman.
Having just witnessed the Imperial Advisor being thoroughly humiliated and utterly powerless, the people's idealized image of him shattered without them even realizing it.
Furthermore, didn't the Imperial Advisor keep saying that this Miss Yunyan was possessed by a demon?
Then why use her mother's life to blackmail her?
Why would a ruthless monster care about a complete stranger like a human?
If she cares, doesn't that mean...?
Qi An threw down the dagger decisively, looking "angry": "Despicable and shameless, you win."
The people: "..."
The Prime Minister and the Imperial Advisor are the real demons, while this "demon woman" is kind, righteous, and a good girl.
And for some reason, as they watched, they weren't afraid of this "witch" at all; they just thought she was amazing, and they almost cheered her on several times.
This...this is something I dare not even look at closely.
The two were unaware that their haste had led to numerous mistakes, which had already been noticed by the people.
Seeing Qi An throw down his weapon, Madam Han jumped out impatiently and shouted, "Hurry up and capture that bitch, don't let her get away!"
A lowly servant? A vile person?
The people thought to themselves, "This is the true nature of how you treat Yunyan and her daughter."
Embarrassingly, after Han shouted, no one dared to step forward, including the assassins.
The brothers' heads aren't even completely rotten yet, and besides, even the Imperial Advisor isn't a match for them, so why are they getting involved?
Qi An pulled out a hairpin and threw it at Han Shi's face, where it pierced her cheek. Han Shi covered her face and screamed in pain, no longer daring to point fingers.
The situation suddenly became awkward. They had taken hostages to threaten the enemy, and after the enemy finally surrendered, no one dared to make a move.
It's hilarious.
Having no other choice, Xianyun steeled himself and pulled out a peculiar rope from his bosom.
This was a magical artifact that he had accidentally stolen in the past, but he was not strong enough to wield it. Only in the last few years, with his improved abilities, could he barely use it.
However, each time he activated it, he needed a day to recover.
In order to deal with this demoness, we can't care about anything else at this moment.
"Huh, the Immortal Binding Rope..."
Qi An recognized the rope at a glance, somewhat surprised that this low-grade item actually contained a celestial-grade spiritual artifact.
The Immortal Binding Rope can bind immortals, preventing them from escaping; it is a celestial-grade spiritual artifact.
It sounds impressive, and it's indeed quite powerful against immortals, but it's completely useless against Qi An.
But when Xianyun threw the Binding Immortal Rope from eight zhang away, Qi An still obediently got caught.
Afraid that Xianyun's hand would shake and throw it off course, she even squeezed herself inside a little further.
The Immortal Binding Rope had developed a little bit of intelligence. As soon as it got close to Qi An, it trembled and tried to run away.
Qi An beckoned with his finger, and it carefully wrapped itself around Qi An's body.
They didn't even dare to wrap it too tightly, just loosely against it, for fear of making the person uncomfortable and then tearing it off.
Seeing that Qi An was tightly bound, Xianyun, Yun Zhihong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their faces.
Great, we've finally captured that vixen.
Master Xianyun looked at the people, expecting cheers and praise, but the people looked at each other with strange expressions.
Even the cheers were few and far between, and after feeling it was abrupt, they reluctantly shut their mouths.
The Immortal of Leisure was filled with anger.
Ignorant mortals, when this demoness is executed, I will show you the divine powers of my national teacher.
Yun Zhihong approached Xianyun Zhenren and said sinisterly, "Let's kill this wicked creature today, lest things get complicated."
Master Xianyun certainly wanted to kill Qi An immediately, but he forcibly used the Immortal Binding Rope, which is now causing him severe kidney deficiency.
He needs to recover his strength first, otherwise if this demoness suddenly rebels, he won't be able to control her at all.
"Let's wait until noon tomorrow to make our move. I need to do some preparations."
Although Yun Zhihong was somewhat reluctant, he knew that only the Imperial Preceptor could kill that wicked creature.
At this moment, the Imperial Guards, summoned by the Grand Preceptor, arrived late.
Master Xianyun pointed at Qi An: "Put that demoness into the Heavenly Prison."
The Imperial Guards, unaware of the previous battle, were fearless and immediately surrounded Qi An.
Xianyun turned to face the people again, raising his chin slightly: "Tomorrow at noon, my national teacher will execute the demon at the Temple of Heaven. I invite everyone to come and witness the execution."
Xianyun thought he was incredibly cool, but in reality, he was even more unkempt than a beggar on the street; at least the beggar had neat teeth.
His face was covered in blood, his blond hair was disheveled, and he had no front teeth. The people barely managed to stop laughing.
Qi Ancai couldn't bear it and burst out laughing.
"Hey blondie, can you stop making me laugh? You're spouting nonsense, go get your teeth fixed."
You look like a toad, so ugly it hurts my eyes.
For some reason, Xianyun suddenly lost his temper and roared furiously:
"You wretched creature, you dare to be so arrogant even when you're about to die. I hope your life is as tough as your mouth."
Qi An glanced disdainfully at a certain spot: "Then don't worry, it'll definitely be harder than yours."
Master Xianyun: "..."
He roared, "Take her away and keep an eye on her."
"yes."
Qi An laughed and turned to leave. The Imperial Guards followed her warily, looking like bodyguards to anyone who didn't know better.
As she passed by Cai Die, Cai Die suddenly winked at her playfully, only to be silenced after Qi An glared at her.
Focus on acting, stop causing trouble.
Qi An was imprisoned in the deepest part of the imperial prison. The last person imprisoned there was a prince who had plotted a rebellion. This was the highest level of treatment he could receive.
The guards watching over Qi An were not ordinary jailers, but top-notch imperial guards. Even a martial arts alliance leader would have no chance of escape if imprisoned here.
Qi An surveyed the prison like a curious child, and finally commented, "That's it?"
The imperial guards gripped their knives tightly, speechless.
But then the demoness plopped down on the hay and said matter-of-factly, "I'm hungry, let's eat."
For a moment, no one could tell whether she was there to go to jail or to sit at a banquet.
The food was served quickly; the four dishes and soup were delicious and appealing. Qi An could smell the ingredients from a distance.
Everyone present could smell it.
They were utterly speechless. Such a strong dose of muscle-relaxing powder would be enough to knock out a hundred cows, so how could that demoness possibly eat it?
Then they saw Qi An get to work without saying a word, and finish it off in a flash.
He licked his lips with a hint of lingering satisfaction, saying, "It tastes alright."
He really is a prodigy!
Soon after, Cai Die was also brought in and locked up next to Qi An.
The two looked at each other and smiled silently.
