Everyone looked in Yang Yitian's direction and saw two more people frozen inside the ice block.
The original plan to freeze Qin Nianzhu was abandoned because Qin Nianzhu had taken control of the mother Gu in Qi Zhenhao's body. Now that the mother Gu had been removed from Qi Zhenhao's body, it no longer mattered what happened to her.
"What are your plans for these two? To kill them both?" Yang Yitian asked.
Qi Zhiheng said, "This Spirit Saint in blue is so young yet he can participate in this matter. His identity must be extraordinary. Let's take him back and search his soul to see who the power behind him is."
"Oh, okay." Yang Yitian handed the ice block in his hand to Qi Zhiheng: "You can have it."
Qi Zhiheng took it and sent the person into the space.
"Let's go back, Grandma must be worried," Qi Zhiheng said.
Upon hearing Yang Yao's voice, Qi Dong quickly nodded, "You're right, let's go back quickly."
The two people are still frozen, and Qi Zhiheng doesn't know who this person is. His secret has been discovered, and he's unsure if everyone who knows the truth is inside. What if someone outside knows he possesses a spatial ability?
Thinking of this, Qi Zhiheng unconsciously frowned.
The group rushed back without stopping.
Qi Zhenhao was placed on the bed.
Yang Yao saw her unconscious son and asked, "How is Zhen Hao?"
"Grandma, don't worry, the Gu worms on Uncle's body have been removed," Qi Zhiheng answered first.
Yang Yao nodded: "That's good, that's good. When will your uncle wake up?"
Qi Zhiheng couldn't be sure either: "He should be waking up soon, right?" They'd spent quite a bit of time traveling, so he should be waking up soon.
Just then, Qi Zhenhao on the bed opened his eyes and weakly called out, "Mother..."
"Zhen Hao, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?" Yang Yao asked with concern.
The whole family gathered around.
Qi Zhenhao felt unwell: "Mother, am I about to die?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Gu worms on your body have all been removed, how could you be dying?" Yang Yao scolded playfully.
"Then why do I feel so weak all over, have difficulty breathing, and feel like I'm about to die?" Qi Zhenhao was a little sad, feeling that his family had been lying to him.
Qi Zhiheng explained, "Uncle, your Gu worm problem has really been resolved. If you feel uncomfortable, it's probably because you're a little weak. You'll feel better in a while."
Yang Yitian also said, "We all saw that the Gu worms were dealt with, so your feeling of discomfort is probably just psychological."
Qi Zhenhao said with some doubt, "Really? But I feel really awful. Tell me the truth, I think I'm about to die! Okay, you don't need to comfort me anymore..."
After saying that whole sentence with such conviction, Qi Zhenhao felt weak all over, as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.
Qi Zhiheng frowned: "Could it be that there are still some Gu worms in Uncle's body that haven't been completely dealt with?"
The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat solemn.
Just as Qi Zhiheng was about to step forward to take his pulse, Yang Yitian said weakly, "Hey... when we threw the poison pills before, I don't think we gave Uncle an antidote. Did you give him one then?"
Qi Zhiheng: "..."
Qi Zhenhe: "..."
Qi Dong: "..."
It seems, it appears, that there really isn't...
Yang Yao cried out, "My poor son! You've been poisoned!"
Everyone came to their senses, and Qi Zhiheng immediately gave Qi Zhenhao an antidote pill.
After Qi Zhenhao finished eating the ammunition and rested for a while, his condition gradually improved.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, you should rest first. Call us if anything happens." After instructing Qi Zhenhao, Qi Zhiheng dismissed the men of the Qi family from the room.
The group went to the basement, where Qi Zhiheng took out the block of ice. It was time to interrogate who was behind this.
Qi Zhiheng used his spiritual power to melt the ice, and the two people inside gradually woke up. However, they were poisoned and unable to move for the time being.
Seeing that she had fallen into someone else's hands, Qin Nianzhu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me!"
Qi Zhiheng ignored Qin Nianzhu and instead pulled off the blue-robed spiritual master's hood, revealing a familiar face inside—it was Shi Xingyang, who had previously wanted to befriend Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng raised an eyebrow slightly; Shi Xingyang was a member of the Qinglan Sect.
Very well, I haven't even gone to get revenge on them yet, and they've already come knocking on my door again!
Qi Zhiheng gave a wicked laugh: "Shi Xingyang, I didn't expect it to be you."
Shi Xingyang and Si Hao were not afraid of him. Since he hadn't died before, Qi Zhiheng should not kill him now that he knew his identity. After all, killing each other was not allowed within the Yuansheng Academy. If Qi Zhiheng killed him, he would not only offend the Qinglan Sect, but also lose the Yuansheng Academy as a backer.
Shi Xingyang laughed arrogantly, "Brother Qi, what are you trying to do? Why are you trapping me here?"
Yang Yitian was absolutely furious at this person's shamelessness: "You bastard! You sent people to arrest us and you still have the nerve to say we trapped you here?"
Qi Zhiheng laughed as well: "Do you think that just because you're the grandson of a seventh-level alchemist from the Qinglan Sect, I won't dare to do anything to you?"
"How could that be? Brother Qi dared to kill more than five hundred people from my Qinglan Sect. He is incredibly bold, and I am quite afraid of him." Shi Xingyang said fearfully, but his face remained calm.
Qi Zhiheng said, "You are right about one thing: I will not kill you now."
Shi Xingyang laughed contemptuously: "You're smart enough to let me go now. Maybe I can get the Qinglan Sect to let you off the hook. Otherwise, your Qi family is such a small and insignificant family that the Qinglan Sect could easily kill you. Of course, the woman next to you will also die."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nianzhu flinched in fright. From the look in Shi Xingyang's eyes when he crawled toward her earlier, she was certain that this man truly intended to kill her.
Yang Yitian sighed. Just a moment ago, he saw the two of them being quite affectionate and loving, but now they're about to fight and kill each other. Men's words are truly deceitful!
Qi Zhiheng, however, did not care. "If you Qinglan Sect are so easy to kill, how come so many people have died? By the way, quite a few of you have died, but our Qi family is safe and sound."
Shi Xingyang glared at Qi Zhiheng fiercely: "Don't be so smug. I won't let you off the hook when I get back!"
"Since that's the case, I'm even less likely to let you go." Qi Zhiheng glanced at him indifferently, a red glint flashing in his eyes. A surge of excited pleasure welled up inside him.
Shi Xingyang felt a chill run down his spine under Qi Zhiheng's gaze and instinctively shouted, "You can't kill me!" His voice was loud, as if only in this way could he muster his courage.
Qi Zhiheng closed his eyes. He originally wanted to teach Shi Xingyang a lesson, but whenever he wanted something, his karmic obstacles would stir. He had seen too much bloodshed before, so this wouldn't do. He then used another light-attribute cultivation talisman.
He then stopped interrogating him and calmed himself down. He didn't intend to ask any more questions; asking around would only make him more likely to lie. It was better to just perform a soul search and analyze the situation clearly.
But not now. His soul has been affected, and he needs to suppress the restlessness caused by the karmic obstacles first. Otherwise, if he's not careful, Shi Xingyang might be turned into an idiot during the soul-searching process.
After cultivating for two hours, Qi Zhiheng returned to Shi Xingyang's side once again.
Shi Xingyang's soul power was like a thin sheet of paper under Qi Zhiheng's soul power, which Qi Zhiheng easily tore through and directly searched his soul.
Shi Xingyang was now poisoned, which not only made it difficult for him to use his spiritual power, but also affected his soul power. Qi Zhiheng, dressed in green, peered into his memories.
After a while, Qi Zhiheng erased his memory again. He absolutely could not let outsiders know that he could search souls.
At this time, Qin Nianzhu had already been taken to another place, leaving only Shi Xingyang and a few members of the Qi family.
Qi Zhiheng sorted through the memories in his mind and finally understood the whole story.
"How is it?" Qi Zhenhe asked.
Qi Zhiheng was able to explain the strange events.
All of this stemmed from the trials she underwent before entering the Source Institute.
At that time, Yang Yitian's soul was shattered. In order to refine the pill, Qi Zhiheng killed the remnant soul in the Ten Thousand Souls Forest. However, the remnant soul had too much karma, which made him restless. When he entered the space, Shi Xingyang saw him.
After seeing this, Shi Xingyang investigated the Qi family and learned that they had been previously unknown, but had risen to prominence after Qi Zhiheng awakened his soul body. He then hatched a plan. Yuan Ebu intended to use their brotherly bond to approach Qi Zhiheng and extract his secrets, but Qi Zhiheng was as stubborn as a rock, refusing to let him get close. Later, Qi Zhiheng embarrassed Shi Xingyang by breaking into the preliminary rankings of the Heroes List. This made Shi Xingyang even more determined. Since he couldn't get through to Qi Zhiheng, he would try his luck with Qi Zhiheng's family. From his inquiries, he learned that the Qi family members were highly regarded.
Of the Qi family members still living outside the village, only Qi Zhenhao remains.
Qin Nianzhu originally had a shady relationship with Shi Xingyang and was willing to do things for him. Since he and Qi Zhenhe were in the same college and in the same year, he took on the task.
Unfortunately, Qi Zhenhao was like a block of wood, with only sword practice on his mind!
Qin Nianzhu came up with a plan, obtained a love potion, and put it on Qi Zhenhao. Fortunately, it worked on Qi Zhenhao.
Under the influence of the love potion, everything that followed naturally fell into place.
Qin Nianzhu went home with Qi Zhenhao as planned. Originally, she wanted to get things done first so that the Qi family would have no way to back down. However, Qi Zhiheng barged in and ruined the plan. Originally, she had to change her plan after slowly trying to anesthetize him, which led to the current situation.
