Perhaps sensing Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong's hesitation, Xu Changzhi, who was lying down, said with difficulty, "Qiao Feng, Hong Qigong, you..."
However, before Xu Changzhi could finish speaking, Zhao Min suddenly raised her hand to signal, and Lu Zhangke, one of the Xuanming Elders, instantly flashed in front of Xu Changzhi and then stomped hard on Xu Changzhi's chest with one foot.
"Click!"
With a cracking sound, Xu Changzhi's body twitched twice on the ground before falling silent.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Min slowly said, "This princess and Young Master Zhao have agreed beforehand that if you can cooperate, you will be allowed to leave once you have completed the tasks I have assigned you."
After a brief pause, Zhao Min glanced at Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong before slowly saying, "However, if Chief Qiao and Chief Hong leak any information or are prepared to take risks during this period, then this princess will not be held responsible for anything that happens."
As soon as the words left her lips, Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong knew perfectly well that Zhao Min's words were clearly meant for them.
At the same time, Chu Qinghe, who had already walked to the carriage, slowly said, "Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. I saved Chief Hong and Brother Qiao, but I didn't mean for you two to seek your own deaths. If you want the Beggars' Sect to still exist in this world, you two should leave with me."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng looked at the Beggars' Sect disciples around them, and then glanced at Zhao Min's group.
After glancing at Ba Shiba beside Zhao Min, the two gritted their teeth and quickly moved to the side of Chu Qinghe's carriage, following Chu Qinghe towards Xingli Town.
After Chu Qinghe's carriage had disappeared from sight, Zhao Min turned around and gave some orders.
Only after the warriors of the Great Yuan Kingdom began to deal with the Beggar Clan members did Zhao Min look at Ba Shiba.
"Master, Zhao Shanhe just used his true energy, but...?"
In response to Zhao Min's words, Ba Shiba nodded and said, "That's right, he was warning me."
Hearing what Ba Shiba said, Zhao Min's heart sank slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Zhao Shanhe's strength is above yours?"
Bashiba sighed and said, "This humble monk does not know!"
"Don't understand?"
Having received confirmation from Bashiba, not only Zhao Min, but also Kumārajīva and the two elders of Xuanming looked at Bashiba in shock.
After a few breaths, Kumārajīva spoke up: "Could it be that Benefactor Zhao has cultivated some special martial arts, which would cause you, Living Buddha, to have such a misconception?"
Upon hearing this, Bashiba was completely baffled as to what Kumārajīva meant by those words.
Immediately, Bashiba shook his head and said, "With my current mental strength, I have already reached the realm of 'Immovable King.' Even Meng Chixing, the benefactor of the Demon Master's Palace, would find it difficult to easily pull me into the illusion."
After a brief pause, Ba Shiba continued, "Judging from the aura that Benefactor Zhao just displayed and his locking onto my aura, his strength is far beyond his current realm. In fact, I even sensed the aura of the power of heaven and earth just now. This shows that Benefactor Zhao's strength is definitely not as simple as the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm."
"In my humble opinion, perhaps that Benefactor Zhao has concealed his true cultivation level using a special secret method."
As he spoke, recalling how Chu Qinghe had used his true energy to lock onto him, Ba Shiba was still filled with lingering fear.
Upon hearing Bashiba's words, both Kumārajīva and the two elders of Xuanming recalled Chu Qinghe's performance on Bright Peak.
But after thinking about it carefully, the group felt something was amiss.
If Chu Qinghe's strength were truly that great, then Pang Ban and the others wouldn't have been able to escape back at Bright Peak.
This situation is completely untenable.
Seeing the fear and lingering apprehension on Ba Shiba's face, Zhao Min frowned deeply.
"Just who is this Zhao Shanhe?"
When I first met Zhao Shanhe, he was only at the Innate Realm when he was on Bright Peak. However, he was able to instantly raise his cultivation to the Perfect Grandmaster Realm. Then, he used the method of acupuncture and poison to forcefully defeat Pang Ban and suffer a great loss.
The second time, at Wudang Mountain, Pang Ban had already entered the Celestial Realm, but he was still unknowingly poisoned by Zhao Shanhe and returned defeated.
This time, in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Shanhe didn't use poison, but the strength he revealed made even the late-stage Celestial Realm expert, Ba Shiba, wary.
Recalling these three encounters with Zhao Shanhe, it was clear that almost every time they met, Zhao Shanhe would have another woman by his side.
Similarly, as the number of women around Zhao Shanhe increases, the mystery surrounding him also intensifies.
Having lived for so many years, Zhao Min had never met anyone like Chu Qinghe, someone who was completely unpredictable and impossible to understand.
However, thinking of Chu Qinghe's disguised appearance just now, Zhao Min felt even more disgusted.
"To disguise yourself and look so good, shameless."
.........
Half an hour later.
Xingli Town.
Inside a private room in the restaurant.
Watching Chu Qinghe slowly savoring the yellow wine in his cup, Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong exchanged a glance, both showing hesitation on their faces.
After a short while, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Don't worry! The Beggars' Sect is useful to the Great Yuan Kingdom. In the short term, Zhao Min won't do anything to those people in the Beggars' Sect."
