"Who?" Even though Bi Qi, Zhao Yuan and the others had left, there were still Yan King's men stationed here on the mountain.
The Golden Summit was of utmost importance, and soldiers quickly set out to cross it.
The figure's expression changed upon seeing the soldier, and he immediately turned and ran.
Upon seeing this, many soldiers drew their weapons and attacked.
After a brief exchange of fire, many soldiers were wounded.
The man was highly skilled and his movements were incredibly nimble. After several attempts to break through, he finally found an opportunity to escape the encirclement of the soldiers.
"Hehe, off I go!" The man made a mocking face at the crowd, his buck teeth particularly noticeable.
Just then, a cold snort rang out, and a hand suddenly appeared in front of them.
The man tried to dodge, but found himself unable to move at all, and exclaimed in horror, "Grandmaster!"
With a crisp bang, he was knocked to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His qi and blood were churning, and he was unable to mobilize his energy for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, countless knives were placed against his neck.
At this moment, an old man dressed in a python robe slowly walked over: "Who are you?"
"Your Highness?" The buck-toothed man on the ground recognized the other's servant and was horrified. He wondered which prince was so powerful. "Your Highness, spare my life! I am Wei Suo. I don't know what I have done wrong?"
"How did you come out of this secret realm? Which sect are you from?" The Prince of Yan looked at the slowly closing spatial gate in mid-air, his tone full of doubt. Does the Daoist sect have such a person?
"I'm from no sect or faction, and I don't know what happened. I was exploring a secret realm when I was suddenly sucked into it." The buck-toothed man was none other than Wei Suo. He woke up in the great tomb that day to find everyone around him gone, leaving only some corpses.
He vaguely remembered the Ghost King possessing his body, and he was terrified, so he used both his hands and feet to escape from the tomb.
Not long after, a destructive aura emanated from the tomb, which sucked in all living things around it and disappeared into the void.
He couldn't help but feel relieved, while secretly mourning for Zu'an and the others who had ignored his advice and insisted on going to the tomb.
Alas, in this world, survival is the only way.
Later, he wandered around and accidentally bumped into a large group of people who seemed to be talking about someone failing to pass the tribulation of lightning and that everyone was looking for treasure.
He wanted to try his luck, but he was accidentally captured by a sect and forced to become a drug slave.
He thought he was doomed, but a portal appeared in the cell, and he hurriedly crawled through it, thus escaping with his life.
But he got caught again as soon as he got back. Why am I so unlucky?
At this moment, the Prince of Yan narrowed his eyes: "So he's been to that secret realm too. Take him away and torture him severely!"
Upon hearing his words, Wei Suo was terrified and wet himself. As the surrounding soldiers dragged him away, he struggled desperately and cried out, "You can't treat me like this! My brother is also a big shot in the court, Lord Zu'an! Haven't you heard of him?"
The Prince of Yan was about to turn and leave when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned back to stare at him: "Oh, Zu'an is your brother?"
"Yes, a life-or-death bond!" Vesso said, puffing out his chest as soon as he saw an opportunity.
The Prince of Yan chuckled: "Since that's the case, then I will personally interrogate him!"
Vesso: "???"
...
Meanwhile, Zu'an and his group had already left Zishan and were heading towards the capital in a grand procession.
Besides Zhao Xiaodie, Guan Chouhai also had a separate carriage.
After all, he was the leader of the Lihentian Sect and possessed the strength of a Grandmaster. Although he was now a prisoner, he still deserved the respect due to him.
As for Zhiyin, Wu Xiaofan, and other Taoist disciples, they were not so lucky. They were all in prison carts, wearing shackles, with their hands and feet fixed to the carts. They no longer had the glory of being the chief disciple and being respected by everyone.
When Zuan saw this, he had his men give the men some water and food, and also found several black veiled hats for them to wear on their heads.
The men were immediately moved to tears of gratitude. After all, they had their own pride, but now they were being paraded through the streets like prisoners, which was worse than being killed.
Now that I have this straw hat, although I can still be seen, at least my face is covered.
In particular, Zuan said that these outstanding human heroes should not have been subjected to such humiliation.
Listen to that! Now that's more like human speech!
Compared to the ruthless subordinates of the Prince of Yan and Zhao Yuan, he was practically a saint.
Regardless of their previous impressions of Zaun, they were all extremely grateful to him after this incident.
Zuan gave Zhiyin a few healing pills as a last resort. He had been seriously injured by the Blood Spirit Venerable and had not received proper treatment after his release, so he was imprisoned and interrogated.
"Why are you so good to me?" she asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression after swallowing the pill with difficulty.
“Your junior sister is worried about your injuries,” Zu An replied.
Startled, his expression suddenly changed: "What did you do to her!"
After the previous interrogation, he also knew roughly what had happened on Purple Mountain.
My junior sister must be in dire straits herself right now, so how could she possibly ask Zu An for help?
Thinking about how my junior sister has always had feelings for me, and how she might sacrifice her chastity to save me this time...
Zuan: "???"
"What are you imagining? You haven't done anything. Just focus on recovering."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing that his eyes were clear and his tone was normal, she realized she had been wrong and said with some shame, "Thank you!"
Because of Fairy Chu, I naturally harbored hostility towards this guy. Who knew that he would save me despite past grievances, yet I instead became suspicious of him.
