But what was strange was that after they woke up, it was like nothing had happened at all. They did not have the slightest memory of being knocked unconscious and for a period of time after they woke up, they all seemed to have lost their consciousness, returning to the place they were supposed to be at. It was only moments later that they were fully awake and everything returned to normal.
That strange scene was enough to make the City Lord's hair stand on end, startling him to realize just how unfathomable Jun Wu Xie was.
Jun Wu Xie quickly received the news from the City Lord. In the letter, the City Lord had clearly stated Luo Xi's intentions and based on her understanding of Luo Xi, he had made a deduction on what Luo Xi was going to do next.
"Another child's trick." Jun Wu Xie said as she placed the letter over the candle flame, to watch as the flames slowly swallowed it up.
Jun Wu Yao sat opposite her, a smile hanging at the corners of his mouth. "Little Xie seems to be very disappointed?"
"Is that so?" Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow arched up.
Jun Wu Yao laughed lightly and said: "That's true. That Luo Xi is actually thinking of using such a childish method to create trouble for you. It's really rather laughable."
In terms of poison and detoxification, Jun Wu Yao had never seen anyone more outstanding than Jun Wu Xie. Even though she was born in the Lower Realm, but her skills in medicine and the way she used poison was something that even he would sometimes gasp in amazement at.
Sometimes, Jun Wu Yao was also very curious as to where Jun Wu Xie had gotten all these skills from. It was as if when he had first met her, she had already possessed all these skills.
Anyone who dared to play around with poison and medicine before Jun Wu Xie was just asking to be humiliated.
"Luo Xi is connected to the revered one. We only need to force Luo Xi into a corner and the mastermind behind him will naturally strike." Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly.
The bait had been cast and all that was left was to wait for the fish to bite.
In the dead of the night, several suspicious black shadows crept silently into the rows of lofts in the north of the city. The moon hung high in the sky and it was already deep into the night. The few men gathered together soundlessly and one of them distributed several palm sized paper packets into the hands of each of the men and said in a low voice: "Listen up all of you. This poison kills upon contact with blood. Throw it into all the nearby wells later and do not miss any."
The other black-robed men nodded and quickly dispersed.
They thought that no one had noticed them, but they didn't know that in an independent pavilion, a petite figure was hidden in the darkness and had seen everything they did.
"How many wells are there around here?" Jun Wu Xie asked in the darkness.
Ye Sha's voice rang out softly. "Seventeen of them. Not only do we use them, the locals of the Clear Breeze City nearby also know how to use them."
Jun Wu Xie sneered coldly.
"Luo Xi is really much more vicious than the City Lord. In order to destroy this place, he doesn't mind dragging a bunch of innocent people down with him."
Seven wells. Not only did the refugees have to drink it every day, the people nearby would also have to fetch water. It was estimated that just these seventeen wells alone would cause the deaths of thousands of people.
Jun Wu Xie watched all of this quietly until the black robed men were done with their business and left quietly.
Only then did she walk down unhurriedly to the nearest well. She drilled once and examined it.
A moment later, her cold eyes were filled with disappointment.
Jun Wu Xie tossed two bottles of elixirs to Ye Sha.
"Put two into each well." She then walked away dispiritedly upon saying that.
