Jing Zhe dared not believe Qi Junguang's words.
But at times like these, one has no choice but to believe.
Because his woman was in Qi Junguang's hands, with his current strength, he could actually try to pull all the soldiers surrounding Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu away from a distance—but he didn't dare to try, because he had only recently reached the Great Perfection stage and he wasn't confident in his abilities. He was afraid that if he failed, Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu would lose their lives because of his underestimation of his opponent.
He can't afford to try.
While the Immortal Transformation Pill might be very important to Qi Junguang, it is not so important to Jing Zhe.
Since the Immortal Transformation Pills were all obtained from Murong Xi, if he really needed them, Murong Xi actually had many more. After all, these were special products of the Yueyao Kingdom's royal family. Even if Murong Xi couldn't get them from Yueyao Kingdom, she still knew the formula. As long as she got the formula, she could make them herself.
Therefore, he was willing to exchange the Immortal Transformation Pill for Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu.
Of course, Jing Zhe didn't think Qi Junguang was destined to leave with the Immortal Transformation Pill, or rather, he was destined to eat the Immortal Transformation Pill, but the Immortal Transformation Pill couldn't truly make him "transform into an immortal," it was more like "transform into a ghost"!
Then give him one, the Ghost-Transforming Pill!
"Okay, you said it!"
After speaking, Jing Zhe reached into his robes and, under the watchful eyes of all the Southern Qi soldiers, pulled out a small golden bottle and poured out a golden pill.
"etc!"
Qi Junguang suddenly said, "Who can guarantee that the pill you gave me is the Immortal Transformation Pill? Who knows if you're trying to trick me with other pills?"
Jing Zhe scoffed, "Do you think I would use some kind of poison to trick you at a time like this?"
"That's hard to say! Didn't you just fool Su Xinping and Kadan back then?"
Qi Junguang said with a sneer.
"..."
This is... Jing Zhe was speechless for a moment. Luckily, he was thick-skinned, otherwise he would have blushed deeply. After all, he had a history of giving people fake medicine...
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I killed Su Muyu and the Qingyang Sect Leader, so you should know my current strength. Yet you still dare to capture my woman and challenge me, isn't it because of your Thunder Army and Thunder Cannons?"
Hearing this, Qi Junguang puffed out his chest, looking very smug, and said, "So what if he is? So what if he's a Grandmaster? He wouldn't last a quarter of an hour against our Thunderclap Army!"
Jing Zhe nodded and said, "So, you have your reliance, and I have my considerations. Your Thunderclap Cannon, in the end, is still evolved from the Daytime Thunderclap. I believe no one knows the power of the Daytime Thunderclap better than me. That's why I don't want to be enemies with Southern Qi anymore. You take the Immortal Transformation Pill, release my woman, and then you lead your troops back to Southern Qi. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves."
Do you think I would deliberately give you fake medicine at this time to provoke you? Even if I'm not afraid, the people of Jingzhou City are! I wouldn't disregard their lives—do you still think I would give you fake medicine?
"..."
People like to be flattered, and Qi Junguang was no exception.
Jing Zhe's words were nothing more than praising how powerful their Thunderclap Army was. Jing Zhe himself did not dare to be their enemy, and Qi Junguang did not think that Jing Zhe was deliberately trying to lull him into a false sense of security—because the Thunderclap Army was indeed invincible!
However, why would he take the Immortal Transformation Pill and leave immediately, just as Jing Zhe said?
He wants more than just that!
Just like him, Jing Zhe and the other two are now each harboring their own secrets, and what they say is completely different from what they think!
Qi Junguang clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! I like straightforward people like Brother Jing! Then there's no need for further words. I'll tell you the truth: I don't need anything else, I just want the Immortal Transformation Pill! Once I get the Immortal Transformation Pill, I'll immediately lead my troops back to Southern Qi and will never make things difficult for Brother Jing and Jingzhou again!"
Jing Zhe cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to him, saying, "I hope you can keep your word!"
However, Qi Junguang shook his head as he looked at the "Immortal Transformation Pill" that Jing Zhe had poured out and said, "But, Brother Jing, this one Immortal Transformation Pill is probably not enough!"
"???"
Qi Junguang pointed at Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, and continued with a smile, "Brother Jing, do you think the two of them are only worth one Immortal Transformation Pill?"
"..."
Before Jing Zhe could speak, Qi Junguang answered his own question: "The two of them are each worth one Immortal Transformation Pill! If Brother Jing wants them both to go back, then take two Immortal Transformation Pills! If Brother Jing insists on taking one Immortal Transformation Pill, then that's fine too. Tell me which one you want to keep?"
Hearing this, Jing Zhe sighed, then took out the small golden bottle he had just put in his pocket and poured out another golden pill, just like before.
Qi Junguang stared at the small golden bottle, his eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to normal.
Jing Zhe raised his hand, letting Qi Junguang see the two pills in his hand, and said, "Look carefully, two Immortal Transformation Pills."
Qi Junguang said impatiently, "Okay, then throw it over here!"
Jing Zhe didn't make a move, but instead sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? What if I throw them over and you don't put them back?"
Qi Junguang frowned and said, "Hand over the Immortal Transformation Pill with one hand, and release the person with the other, do it simultaneously!"
Qi Junguang looked back and then nodded in agreement.
"good!"
Then Jing Zhe jumped off his horse and said, "Unlock all the chains on their hands and feet, then lead them to me. We'll walk to the middle together, and I'll hand over the Immortal Elixir in one hand and the people in the other!"
"Wait!"
Unexpectedly, Qi Junguang called out again. Jing Zhe frowned, wondering if he was going to back out. But then he heard Qi Junguang say, "I can't possibly deliver the person to you personally!"
He then explained, “You are now a Grandmaster, while I am just an ordinary person. If we arrive at the middle at the same time, how can I dodge if you want to attack me? Besides, they are the Pavilion Master of Wuxian Pavilion and the Garden Master of Wuxian Garden. Even if their martial arts are not as good as yours, they are still much stronger than ordinary people. What if they fly back or kill us if I untie their chains now?”
Jing Zhe shrugged, thinking to himself that he still had some brains, but said somewhat helplessly, "Then what do you suggest? How about you guys stay put and I walk over myself?"
"no!"
Qi Junguang quickly shook his head; how could he dare let Jing Zhe get close?
He immediately said, "The chains on their bodies cannot be removed now. I will send my attendants to lead them to the middle. Once you give them the Immortal Transformation Pill, they will give you the key. You can then unlock the chains and take them back. What do you think of this idea?"
"..."
