When Qi Zhiheng came out with the pills, Yang Yitian, who was guarding the door, said anxiously, "You've finally come out!"
"What's wrong?" Qi Zhiheng frowned.
Yang Yitian said with a bitter face, "That Qin Nianzhu kidnapped my uncle!"
"They've left?" Qi Zhiheng asked as he walked towards the door.
Yang Yitian followed behind him, and the two headed towards the Qi family's gate: "My uncle left a letter saying that he was going to Chongxi City with Qin Nianzhu first. By the time Grandma and the others found out, the two of them were gone. Dad and Grandpa have already caught up with them."
Qi Zhiheng was somewhat annoyed, but he had no solution. If Qin Nianzhu died before the Gu worm was dealt with, Qi Zhenhao would also die. He could only be thankful that he hadn't acted impulsively and killed Qin Nianzhu.
He told his family first, and then went out after them.
Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong headed towards Chongxi City. Everyone found Qi Zhenhao's previous behavior strange, but they were not quite sure what the specific situation was.
We can't just lock people up, can we?
Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong followed the direction of the jade tablet.
On the other side, Qin Nianzhu, carrying the unconscious Qi Zhenhao, had already joined a group of people.
"You're saying the Qi family will catch up? And Qi Zhiheng will come too?" These people were all wearing blue clothes, but their faces were covered by masks, so you couldn't see their faces unless you opened them.
Qin Nianzhu nodded and said, "That's right. Last time, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian seemed to have used some kind of method to catch up with us. If you had known they would catch up with us last time, you could have just laid an ambush there. Why did you have to go through all this trouble!" And she was made to infiltrate the Qi family for so long.
However, the Qi family was really generous, giving away many nice gifts as a greeting.
"Let's go check out the ambush point first." The leader in green left first.
Qin Nianzhu quickly followed.
Qi Zhenhe followed the scent and went there.
"Right here," Qi Zhenhe said. "Have they slowed down?"
Just then, countless arrows shot out from all around them, heading straight for them.
Qi Zhenhe took out an array plate, and after activating its spiritual energy, a protective barrier rose around them. This was the array plate that Yang Yao had learned to make when she was studying array formations. The Qi family rarely needed to use it, so this was a chance to experience the power of the array plate.
Qi Dong said with some pride, "The array plate your mother made is really good! It works very well."
Qi Zhenhe rolled his eyes inwardly at the smug look on their faces! Your other son is still in the enemy's hands, you know? Please be more careful!
Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong were already at the Spirit King level, but from the outside, Qi Dong was a Spirit King, while Qi Zhenhe was a Spirit General.
After withstanding the first wave of arrows, a group of people stepped forward and surrounded them.
Surprisingly, there were three Spirit Kings among them.
Qi Zhenhe said, "Father, I'll deal with two Spirit Kings, and you can handle the rest?"
"What do you mean? Why are you fighting two Spirit Kings? Are you implying that you are stronger than me?" Qi Dong asked somewhat seriously.
Qi Zhenhe said helplessly, "How could that be? There are too many of them for me to handle, so I'll leave it to you."
It is common knowledge in the cultivation world that alchemists are weaker in combat than ordinary cultivators. Qi Zhenhe was only trying not to embarrass his father.
The man then met his opponent.
It seems the other side wants to capture them alive, which would allow Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong to act even more recklessly.
Qi Dong transmitted his voice to Qi Zhenhe: "Hold your breath!"
Qi Zhenhe did as instructed, and Qi Dong threw out the poison pill in his hand. A cloud of purple smoke filled the air, and a group of enemy spirit generals fell instantly!
Qi Zhenhe said with satisfaction, "Father, you did a good job!"
It's possible that the three Spirit Kings had stronger resistance to poison, or perhaps these three were just too lucky to notice the anomaly.
After knocking out half of the spiritual cultivators, Qi Dong threw down a poison pill!
However, this time the enemy seemed to be on guard, so his poison pills were less effective.
The two sides immediately engaged in battle.
The cultivators here are naturally far superior to other cultivators of the same level in terms of their skills and use of spiritual power.
Qi Dong quickly killed some of his opponents.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Dong transmitted his voice to Qi Zhenhe: "Take your medicine!"
Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong took the pills in tacit agreement.
Then, Qi Dong threw down a poison pill, and a thick smoke spread out.
The enemy reacted quickly and immediately held their breath!
Unfortunately, their bodies went limp and collapsed after coming into contact with the smoke.
Both of these poison pills are toxic, but Qi Yizhong must be exposed to them beforehand to allow them to penetrate the opponent's body. After a period of time, the antidote must be taken.
The second poison acts as a catalyst for the first poison; once it comes into contact with the skin, the poison that has already penetrated the skin will take effect.
Qi Dong and Qi Zhenhe quickly severed the heads of these incapacitated enemies.
The enemy probably never imagined that they would be defeated by these two.
"Walk!"
The two continued their pursuit.
At this moment, the pursuing enemies caught up and were astonished to see the corpses scattered on the ground! They even suspected that other forces were involved.
However, these people were really unlucky. They stayed there for a short while before being caught up and killed by Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian.
Qi Zhiheng quickly caught up with Qi Zhenhe and Qi Dong.
"Grandpa! Dad!" Qi Zhiheng told them to get on the flying artifact, which was much faster than human power.
Qi Zhenhe looked at the jade token in his hand and said, "They stopped."
Qi Zhiheng finally had time to stop and ask, "What happened? Why did they just leave like that?"
"Qin Nianzhu said that since Yan Yu's matter was resolved, they could leave the city, but of course we disagreed," Qi Zhenhe said angrily. "Then they eloped!"
Qi Qi Zhiheng was speechless: "Dad, didn't you realize? Qin Nianzhu is definitely suspicious."
"I have some guesses, but I'm not sure," Qi Zhenhe said. "So, the culprit is Qin Nianzhu?"
“I’m not sure either,” Qi Zhiheng said. “I don’t know if Qin Nianzhu was being controlled or if she had ulterior motives from the start, but in any case, my uncle’s strange condition is related to her.”
"What happened to your uncle?" Qi Zhenhe asked.
Qi Zhiheng replied: "It is a mother-child bond of love poison."
Qi Zhiheng explained that this kind of Gu can be divided into mother Gu and offspring Gu. People who are infected with offspring Gu will feel affection for the person carrying the mother Gu and will be subconsciously drawn to the mother Gu carrier, acting according to the mother Gu carrier's commands.
Qi Zhiheng said, "The mother Gu should be on Qin Nianzhu. You can't kill her then. You must wait until your uncle's problem is resolved before you can kill her."
"Yi Tian!" Qi Zhiheng called out.
"Understood!" Yang Yitian immediately took out freezing talismans from his storage space and distributed dozens of them to each of the people present.
Qi Zhiheng explained, "If there's an opportunity, we'll use the freezing talisman on Qin Nianzhu. Once he's immobilized, he won't be able to harm Uncle for the time being."
After hearing the plan, everyone nodded in agreement.
The group quickly caught up to the vicinity of the location and stopped temporarily, refraining from making any rash moves.
Qi Zhiheng extended his soul power to try and probe the other party's situation. His soul power was strong, and he was able to see what was happening on the other side.
Qi Zhenhao was being supported by Qin Nianzhu, and he appeared to be unconscious. There were quite a few people around, including five Spirit Kings.
Qi Zhiheng said, "It seems that the other side has already prepared a net to catch us."
He didn't go over immediately, but instead pondered what kind of forces these people belonged to.
The clothes worn by the slain enemies didn't resemble those of disciples from any sect. But then again, who would wear their own sect's robes to commit evil deeds? Wouldn't that just ruin their own reputation?
Qi Zhiheng carefully examined the enemy's combat strength; since these people were masked, he couldn't discern anything. At this moment, he noticed a spiritual cultivator who stood out prominently among the enemy's group.
The reason he stands out is not because of his high cultivation level or extraordinary demeanor, but because his cultivation level is simply too low.
Aside from Qin Nianzhu and Qi Zhenhao, he was the only spirit master present!
However, the clothes they wore were made of a special material, and as long as they were still wearing them, Qi Zhiheng's soul power could not see their true appearance.
The fact that a Spirit Master suddenly appeared in a group whose lowest level was Spirit General could only mean that this person's status was not low.
Qi Zhiheng observed Qi Zhenhao again. Besides Qi Zhenhao, only Qin Nianzhu could see him clearly.
"Why do I keep feeling like there's a gaze watching us?" Qin Nianzhu felt a chill run down her spine. She tossed Qi Zhenhao aside and walked over to the spirit master, saying, "I'm a little scared. Come closer to me."
The spirit master said, "Don't worry, I will treat you well after this is over."
Qi Zhiheng cursed the adulterous couple in his heart. It seemed that Qin Nianzhu really had colluded with someone else. Now he understood that Qin Nianzhu was only approaching Qi Zhenhao for the sake of her lover!
I just don't know when my uncle was bewitched.
Qi Zhiheng, Qi Zhenhe, and Qi Dong discussed their next steps: "Uncle is alright now, he's just unconscious. We'll be there soon after we make some preparations, so we need to divide the tasks."
Yang Yitian said, "Why don't I go rescue my uncle, and you guys take care of eliminating those enemies?"
Qi Dong said, "I have poison pills, but the first type of poison pill needs to be brewed first. If the hostages are in their hands, it will be quite troublesome."
Qi Zhiheng said, "Let's throw everything away first, regardless of anything else."
After the negotiation, it was decided which man from the Qi family would be responsible for dealing with the men in blue. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Yitian froze Qin Nianzhu and rescued his uncle!
After the negotiations were completed, they continued their journey. Qi Zhiheng planned to quietly deal with the other party's traps first.
