"It's just that I have nothing to do with Qian Jiayi and the others. Why would I cooperate with you?" Eunuch Xi denied.
"Eunuch Xi, you're still lying now. Don't you want to take the antidote?" Prime Minister He's face darkened.
Obviously, he was sure that Eunuch Xi was related to Qian Jiayi and the others.
Under pressure, Eunuch Xi could only say helplessly, "Fine, I do have contact with them."
"That's good!"
Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi naturally revealed delighted expressions.
"Tell me, how did you join them?" Prime Minister He asked.
"Previously, the Crown Prince sent me to Yongjiang City, and I met them on the way. Due to some matters, I had a conflict with them. In the end, I was no match for them. After they found out that I was the Crown Prince's man, they forced me to take a pill called the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill. If I don't take the antidote within half a month, I will die from the poison. I had no choice but to follow their orders," Eunuch Xi said.
"Looks like Shopkeeper Huang and the other two only betrayed our Blazing Wing Sect because they consumed such pills," said Eunuch Qi.
"Yes, that should be the case." Prime Minister He nodded and said coldly, "But they will regret it. With the help of the Flame Poison Pill, their other tricks won't work. After a while, they will die from the poison. As for the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill, it's nothing compared to our Flame Poison Pill!"
Prime Minister He had great confidence in the Flame Poison Pill. In his opinion, how could a pill with a strange flame be so easily neutralized?
"Prime Minister He, what kind of faction is this Blazing Wing Sect you speak of?" Eunuch Xi asked curiously.
"It's the force that we're currently in. I'm one of the elders, and Eunuch Qi is also one of the elders. However, his status is lower than mine … All of the Burning Wing Birds that have appeared in the Glacial Peak Nation were released by us, so you don't have to worry about our strength. As long as you follow us, I guarantee that you'll be able to benefit from it!" Prime Minister He said proudly.
"Then please take care of me, Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi," Eunuch Xi hurriedly said.
Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi both smiled when they saw Eunuch Xi being so understanding.
"Prime Minister He, who is the Sect Master of our Burning Wing Sect? Where are the others?" Eunuch Xi then asked.
"About this, you don't have to know about it for now. You'll only have the opportunity to come into contact with this information when you've made a great contribution." Prime Minister He's face darkened.
"This subordinate understands." Eunuch Xi hurriedly said.
Nodding, Prime Minister He said, "We want to capture Qian Jiayi and the others. Do you have any news about them? Do you know where they are?"
"Ever since they left the imperial city, I haven't seen them in a long time. I don't know where they are now." Eunuch Xi shook his head.
"Alright then … If you have news of them, tell us immediately. If you don't, and we find out that something is wrong, you'll be in for a treat!" Prime Minister He said coldly.
Shopkeeper Huang and Eunuch Xi had both defected, so he was naturally worried about Eunuch Xi, who had originally been on Linlong's side.
"Prime Minister He, don't worry. As long as I get news of them, I will definitely inform you immediately!" Eunuch Xi said solemnly.
"Okay, then you can go back first," Prime Minister He said.
Eunuch Xi only left after hearing Prime Minister He's words.
…
Half a day later, Linlong and the others finally arrived at the imperial city.
As soon as they arrived, Linlong took the bamboo rat around the imperial city, hoping to find Eunuch Qi. What made his expression unsightly was that the bamboo rat couldn't sense Eunuch Qi's aura. He didn't know if Eunuch Qi wasn't in the imperial city or if Eunuch Qi had some kind of shielding method.
Helpless, Linlong could only give up on the search and look for Elder Liang and the others. After all, Elder Liang and the others had always been in the imperial city, so they might know Eunuch Qi's whereabouts.
Soon, he saw Elder Liang and the others.
Elder Liang and the others were still in the same place, so they weren't discovered by anyone.
"Young Master, you're back!" Elder Liang and the others were overjoyed to see Linlong.
They hadn't heard any news about Linlong, so they thought something had happened to him. Now that they saw him safe and sound, how could they not be happy?
"I want to know the whereabouts of Eunuch Qi in the imperial city. Do you know?" Linlong directly asked.
Hearing Linlong's question, Elder Liang and the others shook their heads.
They had limited information, so they naturally didn't know the whereabouts of someone like Eunuch Qi.
After thinking for a moment, Linlong said, "Since that's the case, call Eunuch Xi over."
After all, Eunuch Xi was in the imperial city, so he should know Eunuch Qi's whereabouts.
Elder Liang immediately sent someone to send a message to Eunuch Xi.
Eunuch Xi quickly received the message. Once he received it, he immediately walked out of the imperial city and arrived at the place where Elder Liang was.
Soon, he saw Linlong and the others.
"Greetings, Young Master!" Eunuch Xi said respectfully to Linlong.
Seeing that something was wrong with Eunuch Xi, Linlong directly asked, "Eunuch Xi, did something happen?"
"Young Master, it's like this. Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi captured me and forced me to consume a medicinal pill called the Scorching Poison Pill. This medicinal pill has an extremely strange flame on its surface, and after consuming it, my body feels like it's being burned. It's extremely painful, and it's almost as painful as the technique you used," Eunuch Xi replied.
Although he was forced to consume the Scorching Poison Pill, Eunuch Xi had previously consumed the Life Enforcing Pill, so how could he betray Linlong? Thus, when he received the message, he immediately rushed over and reported the situation to Linlong.
If it was someone else, they would definitely report Linlong's contact to Prime Minister He.
"Prime Minister He? Prime Minister He is also from the Burning Wing Sect? "Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, several people couldn't help but ask.
"I listen to them. Prime Minister He's position in the Burning Wing Sect is higher than Eunuch Qi's, so Eunuch Qi has to listen to him," Eunuch Xi said.
"I didn't expect Prime Minister He to actually be from the Burning Wing Sect!" After confirming this, the group of people sighed.
After all, Prime Minister He's position wasn't low.
"Apart from Prime Minister He, who else is from the Burning Wing Sect?" Qian Jiayi asked.
Eunuch Xi shook his head. "I don't know. They didn't tell me. They only told me after I made a contribution."
At this moment, Linlong asked, "What do they want you to do?"
He guessed that since Prime Minister He and the others made Eunuch Xi consume the Scorching Poison Pill, they definitely had a motive. If not, they could have made someone stronger take the Scorching Poison Pill.
Although he hadn't seen the Scorching Poison Pill before, Linlong could see that the other party had very few Scorching Poison Pills. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only encountered a few people from the Burning Wing Sect.
"They wanted me to tell them your whereabouts. They probably want to make a move on you," Eunuch Xi said.
"Fortunately, it's Eunuch Xi. If it was someone else, Prime Minister He would have probably brought a group of people to encircle us." Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, the surrounding people couldn't help but rejoice.
Many of them only thought that Eunuch Xi was loyal to Linlong. They didn't know that Eunuch Xi was so loyal because Linlong had given him the Fate Obeying Pill.
At this moment, Miao Feng said, "Young Master, we might as well beat them at their own game. We can use them as bait and then lure Eunuch Qi and Prime Minister He out, then capture them all in one fell swoop!"
Linlong nodded. "That's a good idea."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Eunuch Xi, then go back and tell Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi that Qian Jiayi and four others are on the way to the imperial city."
The reason why he had only said a few people was naturally to make Prime Minister He and the others lower their guard. If he said that they were a group, Prime Minister He and the others would definitely be prepared. At that time, it would be troublesome if there were a few more of those powerful Burning Wing Birds.
Linlong was currently afraid of the powerful Burning Wing Birds that Eunuch Qi had released. It didn't matter if there were only a few of them, but if there were too many of them, it would be troublesome even for them to deal with them.
The others knew what Linlong meant, so they didn't need him to explain.
"Young Master, when should we tell them this information?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"Go now," Linlong said.
"Yes!" Responding, Eunuch Xi immediately left this place.
After leaving this place and entering the imperial palace, Eunuch Xi went to find Prime Minister He.
"Eunuch Xi, what's the matter?" Seeing that Eunuch Xi had come looking for him not long after leaving, Prime Minister He was naturally puzzled.
"Prime Minister He, I just received news that Qian Jiayi and four others are on the way to the imperial city. They want me to receive them," Eunuch Xi said.
"Oh, when are you going to receive them?" Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, Prime Minister He's eyes immediately lit up.
"In two hours," Eunuch Xi said.
"Then go back and make your preparations. When the time comes, we will follow behind you," Prime Minister He immediately said.
"Yes!" Eunuch Xi replied and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, Linlong said, "Wait!"
"Young Master, is there anything else?" Eunuch Xi asked doubtfully.
"Take these three antidote pills. Take one every day," Linlong said as he took out three antidote pills.
Eunuch Xi immediately took it, then turned around and left.
After Eunuch Xi left, Prime Minister He called for Eunuch Qi.
"Eunuch Qi, Eunuch Xi has already received news that Qian Jiayi is on the way to the imperial city. He wants him to receive her in two hours!" Prime Minister He said.
"That fast?!" Eunuch Qi couldn't help but be surprised.
Prime Minister He continued, "The other party only has five people, and their leader is Qian Jiayi … Eunuch Qi, bring Ah Si over later!"
Previously, Prime Minister He had heard Eunuch Qi talk about Linlong's group's joint attack technique. Thus, Prime Minister He was only afraid of that kind of joint attack technique.
Now that he heard that the other party only had five people, he naturally had the confidence to defeat them by sending Eunuch Qi and another person from the Burning Wing Sect.
Two hours later, Eunuch Xi left the imperial city according to the plan. Eunuch Qi and Ah Si followed closely behind him.
Since they trusted Eunuch Xi, they didn't know that this was a trap set by Linlong's group.
Soon, they followed Eunuch Xi to a dense forest outside the imperial city.
Before they even got close, Linlong's bamboo rat had already sensed Eunuch Qi's aura. However, the bamboo rat's reaction was clearly slow.
It seemed that Eunuch Qi really had a method to conceal his aura. However, this method wasn't strong, and the bamboo rat could still sense it within a certain distance. Linlong guessed.
After confirming that the other party had only a few people, Linlong naturally wasn't worried that anything would happen.
Not long after, he saw Eunuch Qi and Eunuch Xi.
After confirming that there was no one else, Linlong came out in a flash. Seeing him appear, the others also came out.
As soon as they came out, they surrounded Eunuch Qi and the others.
Seeing so many people, how could Eunuch Qi not know that he had fallen into an ambush?
He couldn't help but look at Eunuch Xi. "Eunuch Xi, did you do this?"
"That's right. It was a trap set by me and Young Master Lin," Eunuch Xi said directly.
Since things had already reached this point, he naturally wouldn't hide it.
"Eunuch Xi, aren't you afraid of the Scorching Poison Pill?" Eunuch Qi glared at Eunuch Xi.
"The Scorching Poison Pill is nothing. In front of Young Master's antidote pill, it can't even withstand a single blow," Eunuch Xi said with a faint smile.
Previously, on the way back from Linlong's place, he had consumed an antidote pill. After that, the Scorching Poison Pill in his body was immediately cleared, which was why he said such words.
"Impossible. How can a miraculous medicine like the Scorching Poison Pill be cured by an ordinary antidote pill?" Eunuch Qi couldn't help but say.
"Eunuch Qi, you can give it a try," Eunuch Xi said.
In his opinion, Eunuch Qi must have also been forced to consume the Scorching Poison Pill.
"That's impossible!" Eunuch Qi directly refused.
"From the looks of it, Eunuch Qi, have you also been forced to consume the Scorching Poison Pill?" Miao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, although I have consumed the Scorching Poison Pill, I am different from you. I am absolutely loyal to the Blazing Wing Sect!" Eunuch Qi sneered.
"It seems that you are ambitious, Eunuch Qi. However, do you think that you can escape from here?" Qian Jiayi said.
Hearing this, Eunuch Qi's expression immediately became unsightly. He coldly said, "Isn't escaping a simple matter?"
As he said this, he immediately began to silently chant a rune term. Soon after, a Blazing Wing Bird appeared in front of him.
It was the even more powerful one that he had released earlier.
At the same time, Ah Si also silently chanted a rune term and released his own Blazing Wing Bird. This Blazing Wing Bird was clearly an ordinary Blazing Wing Bird.
Although the other party only had these two people, Linlong and the others knew that if Qian Jiayi's group of five were alone, they definitely wouldn't be a match for these two people.
After all, Eunuch Qi's Blazing Wing Bird could definitely hold back five people for a short period of time and give the other person an opportunity to attack.
In the end, Qian Jiayi's group of five was captured.
When Eunuch Qi and Ah Si released the Blazing Wing Bird, Linlong and the others on his side also activated the ice-cold talismans in their hands.
"Go!"
As Eunuch Qi roared angrily, his Blazing Wing Bird suddenly attacked Qian Jiayi.
The four people closest to Qian Jiayi immediately surrounded the Blazing Wing Bird with Qian Jiayi. The five of them released ice-cold energy that enveloped the Blazing Wing Bird.
On the other side, the other five people also surrounded the other Blazing Wing Bird.
