Seeing that the jar-bearers were trapped, Qiong Ruiheng felt relieved. However, since his clothes were tattered and he was not suitable to transform into a naked human form, he simply transformed back into his beast form.
Qin Nan snapped out of her daze and saw Qiong Ruiheng, who was half a person tall and had the body of a beast, gently poking at the barrier next to the jar-shaped man with his claws.
Qin Nan: "Xiao Rui, stop playing around, let's go find them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally dark and eerie room instantly changed. Light shone in through the open window, and the people in the jars screamed and shrank back into their jars, becoming silent.
The painting already belongs to Qin Nan; the details of the painting are entirely up to him.
After removing the screen, Qin Nan walked to the doorway and learned the identity of the person on the wall. At the same time as obtaining the scroll, he also saw information about Li Yuchu's past.
The person on the wall deserves to die, but a thousand years of torment has been enough.
The hatred that Li Yuchu could not let go of ultimately trapped him for life. He used his soul to nourish, refine, and control the painting. Although it was not the orthodox way, it was indeed effective.
It's just a bit inferior to Qin Nan's work, after all, this painting was originally made for Qin Nan, and also for... that plan.
I don't know if this scroll will work. I should go find the Mirage Beast and ask it. I should also reinforce it. Otherwise, it would be a real problem if the scroll collapses.
Qin Nan thought for a moment and finally managed to pry the person off the wall. Of course, he didn't have to do it himself. The nails on the person's body were something Qin Nan couldn't do; they weren't fake things from the mirage, but real things.
Moving things wasn't impossible, but pulling out all those densely packed nails was a terrifying thing, especially after they were pulled out, when the whole body was covered in holes like a beehive.
Even Qiong Ruiheng couldn't stand it; he felt disgusted.
Fortunately, Qin Nan didn't need to keep watching. He just needed to use his mind to remove the nail. Qin Nan wasn't sure if it hurt, since the person was already dead and was now a ghost, and he hadn't uttered a sound when the nail was removed...
Qin Nan remained silent, glancing at the man's throat, which was pierced through. It seemed difficult to utter a sound...
After quickly removing the nails, Qin Nan ignored him and, with Qiong Ruiheng in tow, vanished from the imperial city, reappearing on the rooftops of the city.
Bai Hao, carrying Li Yuchu who was covered in injuries and half-dead and unconscious, also stood on the roof.
The moment Qin Nan appeared with Qiong Ruiheng, he suddenly received a distress message from Qiong Ruiheng. Of course, it was too late; she had arrived unharmed, a close call indeed.
Bai Hao threw the person in his hand aside, strode over to Qin Nan, and checked if she was injured.
Qin Nan shook his head: "I'm fine. Xiao Rui protected me very well. By the way, get Xiao Rui some clothes. Her old clothes are torn and can't be worn anymore."
Bai Hao glanced at Qiong Ruiheng, who was sitting obediently next to Qin Nan, with his tiger head held high and his tail swishing behind him.
Bai Hao: "Well protected?"
Qiong Ruiheng felt Bai Hao's voice grow colder, and suddenly remembered the mistake Qin Nan had made when she first woke up. She unconsciously lowered her fluffy head.
How could he have forgotten that! Qin Nan became so powerful after taking control of the painting that he was so shocked that he forgot about it!
Qin Nan smiled, raised his hand and patted Qiong Ruiheng's big head. Although the hair was coarser than Jiang Jiang's, it still felt quite nice to touch.
Qin Nan: "Xiao Rui has done a great job, and I'll be fine. Those people from the forum can't hurt me."
Qiong Ruiheng nodded his big tiger head slightly and rubbed it against Qin Nan's hand.
He's just a cub! You can't treat him like an adult!
Bai Hao was speechless. He didn't even know what "tanzi people" were. He just didn't believe Qin Nan's claim that everything was fine and was going to ask Qiong Ruiheng again. How did he suddenly become the bad cop?
Bai Hao: "Anan, the place you went to seems to be enveloped by the power of your jade pendant. I have no way of knowing what happened there. I'm not blaming you, but I'm very skeptical of your statement that nothing happened."
Qin Nan paused for a moment, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth.
Qin Nan: "I met my father, a wisp of his divine will."
Bai Hao: "Su Kun?"
Qin Nan: "Yes, I also know some things about my grandparents. My grandfather is also from the Mountain and Sea Realm. My parents are not related to my grandparents. They came together just to raise me. However, I don't know anything about my grandmother yet."
After a pause, Qin Nan didn't mention anything more, remaining silent about the plan.
Before sending him away from that space, his father also told him two things: first, the reason why Bai Hao had broken his promise; and second, that his original beast body, which was still in the Netherworld, had been usurped.
We'll have to wait until that thing that possessed his body and tried to break the barrier of the underworld to release all the ghosts appears before we can talk about Bai Hao's past.
Before leaving the Qin residence, problems had already arisen in the Netherworld River, so that thing would soon use its beastly body to do something.
Qin Nan suddenly felt a little tired. He only had so few things, and they were all in other people's hands. He had to go to great lengths to find them, and other people were quite comfortable using his things!
Qin Nan was feeling down when Li You carried Jiang Jiang and Shan You up to the roof.
Tanuki Yu: "Yo, you're back. Whoa, what kind of battle was so intense that you turned back into your original form?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao conjured a set of clothes and shoes out of thin air and placed them on Qiong Ruiheng's back. Qiong Ruiheng flapped her wings, found a secluded spot, transformed back into human form, and put on the clothes.
Dan Yoo couldn't speak and could only stand there.
After Qin Nan fell into a deep sleep, Li Yuchu's strength weakened considerably. He could no longer manipulate the painting with the same ease, and the longer he did so, the greater the energy expenditure became.
Moreover, the control over Song Huiru was also terminated, and Song Huiru fainted.
Bai Hao naturally had the upper hand against Li Yuchu, but because of the painting, even if he could win, Bai Hao couldn't easily capture her, so the stalemate continued.
Shan You was being too cheeky, actually criticizing Bai Hao for being incompetent. Of course, his choice of words was inappropriate, which resulted in him being banned from speaking again.
Later, when Bai Hao couldn't catch anyone, he started destroying the painting. This was indeed effective, but it wasn't very friendly to the other people in the painting.
Li You carried Jiang Jiang on her back and held Qin Nan in her arms, while Zhao Wan carried Song Huiru. The group ran wildly towards the city. As soon as they left, the mountain disappeared into thin air, leaving only a thick white fog.
Within the dense fog lies a chaotic spatial layer; with good luck, one may emerge unscathed, but with bad luck, one may be reduced to ashes.
But it was even more chaotic closer to the city center, so there was no other way but to leave Qin Nan and the others outside.
Fortunately, Luo Lin held an official position in the city. Without Li Yuchu's control, he was able to command the soldiers guarding the city and, after calming them down, prevented any major trouble.
After Qin Nan entered the painting space, Li Yuchu lost control of the painting and his soul was damaged. Bai Hao knew that there was no problem. After a few rounds, he beat him up and took him away.
Bai Hao thought Qin Nan had returned to the city, but she hadn't. He couldn't find out where Qin Nan and Qiong Ruiheng were. He even went to the capital city several times, but found nothing.
Helpless, he could only wait in the city, feeling extremely frustrated. Bai Hao, annoyed by the wait, dragged Li Yuchu onto the roof, intending to wake him up and ask him something. However, he suddenly felt a spatial tremor, and then Qin Nan and Qiong Ruiheng, who had returned to his original form, appeared before him.
