As mentioned before, Jing Zhe and Qi Junguang each had their own ulterior motives.
Both of them openly said that one would take Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu back, and the other would take the Immortal Transformation Pill back, and then they would never interfere with each other again, each going back to their own homes.
But what is the reality?
Qi Junguang knew he had offended Jing Zhe, and in a way that touched his sore spot, so Jing Zhe only hated him and probably wished him dead.
Given Jing Zhe's vindictive nature, how could Qi Junguang possibly feel at ease with such a person still alive? He wouldn't be able to sleep well every night!
Therefore, Qi Junguang deliberately did not unlock the chains on Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, because these chains were thick and heavy, and were not made of ordinary iron, but of special fine steel made by the Southern Qi. Apart from using a key to open the lock, they were difficult to cut with ordinary swords.
Moreover, there were more than a dozen iron locks on these chains, and their hands and feet were tightly bound. In particular, the chains between Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were connected, which meant that even though they both knew martial arts, they could not walk fast under such heavy loads, and it was impossible for them to walk fast.
Following Qi Junguang's instructions, after capturing Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, they only fed them one meal a day. More than a day had passed since their last meal. Although they were in good spirits, they were extremely exhausted.
Therefore, after Qi Junguang's entourage brought Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu over, Jing Zhe could only use the key he provided to unlock the door if he wanted to save them. During this time, the Thunderclap Army was fully prepared!
When that time comes, Jing Zhe will have to face the daytime thunderstorms with two burdens on his shoulders. How will he escape? How will he survive?
Thinking of this, Qi Junguang smiled broadly.
The only pity was that he was still afraid of Jing Zhe. Although he had captured Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, neither he nor his men had touched them, just in case they failed, they could still try to negotiate...
This shows that Qi Junguang had made preparations.
As for Jing Zhe, Qi Junguang threatened him with women, and Jing Zhe would not let such a person live to see the next day's sun.
His only concern was the possibility of harming Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, since they were both in the enemy's hands. Therefore, he needed to do everything he could to rescue them from the Southern Qi camp.
Now that Qi Junguang has agreed, Jing Zhe doesn't care whether the chains on their bodies are removed or not.
As long as the two of them come to his side, Jing Zhe will show Qi Junguang what the Great Perfection of Wrath is!
"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
Jing Zhe nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, have your men lead them forward. We'll exchange the Immortal Transformation Pill for the people!"
He then took the two pills and strode forward.
At Qi Junguang's instruction, two armored soldiers stepped out from the Southern Qi camp and followed Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu forward, one on the left and one on the right.
Jing Zhe walked very fast and soon reached the middle, while the people on the other side walked very slowly. The main reason was that Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu walked very slowly, and every step they took seemed extremely strenuous and painful. In the places they walked, you could even see solid footprints.
Jing Zhe wasn't stupid; he could tell at a glance that the chains binding the two women were not ordinary chains, but extremely heavy ones. Luckily, the two women knew martial arts; if they were ordinary people, they probably wouldn't even be able to stand up, let alone walk. He couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
So Jing Zhe wanted to go forward to help the two, but he had only taken one step when Qi Junguang on the other side immediately shouted.
"Stop! Just stand still and don't move! If you move even a fraction of an inch, don't blame my Thunder Cannon for being blind!"
As soon as Qi Junguang finished speaking, hundreds of thunder cannons were already aimed at him and Mu Qingren, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Jing Zhe glanced at Qi Junguang, but ultimately decided to stop, letting the two attendants lead Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu forward.
Qi Junguang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
As he had instructed his two attendants, after Jing Zhe stood in the middle, the attendants led Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu to stop ten steps away from Jing Zhe. One attendant watched over the two of them, while the other went to Jing Zhe to get the Immortal Transformation Pill.
After obtaining the Immortal Transformation Pill, the two of them immediately returned the way they came, while Jing Zhe was to take the key to unlock the doors for Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu.
Because the two women were bound by numerous chains and locks, it was almost impossible for Jing Zhe to simply fly away with them. Unlocking them would also take a considerable amount of time, given the sheer number of locks.
During this time, the two attendants will be able to safely deliver the Immortal Transformation Pill to Qi Junguang. At that time, Qi Junguang will immediately send the Thunderclap Army to open fire and blast Jing Zhe to smithereens!
Meanwhile, the two attendants, following Qi Junguang's plan, led Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu to a spot ten steps away from Jing Zhe, where they prepared to stop.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The two attendants were about to stop, but a strong wind suddenly blew in front of them, and a huge suction force pulled them forward.
What shocked the attendants even more was that the suction force was so strong that not only the two of them, but also Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, who were carrying so many heavy iron chains, were being pulled forward!
The attendants immediately looked up at Jing Zhe!
In their view, Jing Zhe was behind all of this; who else could it be but him?
However, when they saw Jing Zhe standing there calmly, they were even more confused—what was going on?
Qi Junguang, on the other side, was the most anxious and shouted, "Stop! You all stop right there!"
He stood in the distance and could see clearly that Jing Zhe had remained standing still the whole time, without making a move, while the two attendants inexplicably led Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu forward!
Did they suddenly betray us?
However, all of this happened too fast, and they were not far from Jing Zhe to begin with, only ten steps away, so they arrived at Jing Zhe's side before Qi Junguang could finish shouting.
At this moment, Jing Zhe had already taken the key from the dazed attendant and had begun to unlock the door.
"this…"
The two attendants were dumbfounded, and Qi Junguang was also dumbfounded.
This isn't what he planned!
What should we do now?
fire?
But we haven't gotten the Immortal Transformation Pill back yet!
Not firing?
If we don't do something, he'll unlock all the locks!
After hesitating for only a short while, Jing Zhe had already opened the iron lock on Mu Qingren's upper body in no time, and was about to open the iron lock connecting Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu.
Qi Junguang finally reacted and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and bring back the Immortal Transformation Pill!"
"..."
Startled by Qi Junguang's shout, the two attendants seemed to wake up from a dream and immediately came to their senses.
"President Jing, give us the Immortal Transformation Pill!"
As he spoke, one of his attendants reached out his hand.
