The prison of Shangying.
Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu were escorted here by the soldiers. Lu Wen, who was in charge of the prison today, saw a group of people approaching and immediately asked, "Is there a general leading them?"
A general stepped out of the soldiers and respectfully saluted him, handing over a warrant and waist token. "Minister Lu, this is Jiang Hang and his gang who were caught during the search."
Lu Wen examined the warrant and waist token to confirm that they were not imposters. He snorted and said, "Jiang Hang? He was so arrogant in the past, but now he's my prisoner. "
Jiang Xing had quite a reputation in the small country between Chu and Tang. He was a genuine Exterior master, and he was cautious in his actions. He was good at creating a diversion, making it difficult to track his tracks. Thus, he had repeatedly escaped from the masters of various countries. Who would have thought that when he sneaked into Shangying to plan a deal, he would be implicated by the matter of the Mo family and be caught for no reason? Now, with his Vital Spirit sealed, he stood there dejectedly. It was truly a case of fish in the moat being caught in the fire.
Seeing that Jiang Hang did not speak, Lu Wen waved his hand and ordered the jailer behind him, "Jiang Hang is locked in the fifth floor, the rest are on the first floor. Later, pick a few people and ask them if they have any clues about Sumo and his gang or other followers of the School of Mo. If they can provide any information, their punishment will be halved or even let go!"
Shangying was now extremely understaffed. Not only did they have to search the entire city, they also had to watch over and monitor the royal family to prevent any of them from being dissatisfied and causing trouble at the critical moment. Therefore, even the prison had been transferred to the prison. The rest were either patrolling or interrogating followers of the School of Mo. They had no time to care about Jiang Hang's matter. However, they still had to ask for clues about Mengqi and his gang as usual. In their experience, they had obtained useful information from seemingly unrelated people many times!
The prison was divided into six floors, deep underground. The bottom two floors had powerful formations that could be used to imprison Exterior prisoners with their Vital Spirits sealed. However, the captured followers of the School of Mo were also locked in these two floors. The upper four floors were prepared for "ordinary people".
In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu, who had disguised themselves as men, lowered their heads and restrained their breath. They were sent to a cell on the first floor. There were too many people in the cell, and it was the same for the prisoners opposite them. They had just been sent here.
Seeing that there were many people in the cell, the two women felt slightly relieved. As soon as they stepped in, they quietly changed their direction and mixed in with the former prisoners, distancing themselves from Jiang Xing and his group. This was to prevent them from recognizing that they were not acquaintances.
Jiang Xing and his men were still in shock and dispirited, so they didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Even if they saw strangers, they thought they were captured by the soldiers and were just as unlucky as them!
The chaos and noise covered their movements. Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. At this point, they could hold on until the end of the city-wide search. With the situation on the first floor, with their strength, they could slip away without anyone noticing and meet up with Mengqi and the others according to their agreement. If there was an emergency, they could pay Karma points to return by force when the three-month time limit was up.
At this point, they understood that their mission was considered a failure. After the aristocrats came to power, the core concept of love with impartiality would not exist no matter if the new national policy was changed or not. At most, it would be changed to a view similar to the Confucian view of benevolence, loyalty, and forgiveness. While seizing the benefits of the new policy, the aristocrats would maintain their high status.
Spending more time to save the new policy of the School of Mo was not a good thing. Not to mention the fact that their strength could not increase, just the time gap after returning was enough to make them afraid.
The Celestial Court of Apotheosis fell 500 years ago, and their world was more than 200,000 years old. If they used this as a reference, it would be terrifying.
Although this reference might not be correct and there might be other reasons, Jiang Zhiwei and the others did not dare to experience it when they had a choice.
"I have to find a way to make up for the loss of Karma points …" Perhaps they had been "infected" by Mengqi for a long time and had the same idea at the same time.
As the jailer left after interrogating the clues, the prison suddenly became quiet. Wherever there were people, there would be Jianghu. Pairs of malicious eyes were looking at strangers, trying to form cliques, suppress them, and determine the position of the prison tyrant.
Being glanced at like this, Jiang Zhiwei calmly used the tip of her foot to pick up a bluestone. She gently pinched it and it turned into powder.
Directly pick up the bluestone under the prison cell?
Directly pinch it into powder?
All eyes subconsciously avoided Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu. Although such strength was not at the Exterior level, it was enough to dominate all the cells on the first floor!
Although the night was long, it would eventually come to an end. Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu felt a glimmer of light shining in from the window.
"I've been hiding for a day …" Jiang Zhiwei secretly sighed.
Just then, an old but spirited voice came from the opposite cell, "Donor, judging from your face, you'll be able to turn misfortune into fortune and get out soon …"
"There's a fortune-teller in the prison cell?" Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu looked over at the same time and saw a Daoist in a blue robe, who had white eyebrows and beard but was hale and hearty, doing fortune-telling. All the prisoners in the cell were lined up and waiting in order. It was funny and surprising at the same time.
How could such a scene appear in the prison!
The Daoist's fortune-telling seemed to be very accurate. Often, a few words could make the people in front of him change their expressions and even make them break out in a cold sweat. Obviously, he had hit a sore spot.
While the two girls were listening to him with great interest, the Daoist suddenly sat down and waved his hand to dismiss the prisoners. He then lowered his head to avoid attracting attention.
"What's going on?" Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu were surprised to see the door of the prison open. Tian Kuo, the Minister of Justice who was on duty today, escorted a few prisoners into the prison.
Why did the Daoist have such a big reaction when he was only escorting a few prisoners to the lower floors? When the Minister of Justice and the jailors came and went, he didn't show any restraint at all! Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu frowned at the same time. They were puzzled.
With such doubts in their minds, their vigilance was raised to the extreme.
All of a sudden, Jiang Zhiwei's soul trembled inexplicably as if there was an extremely terrifying monster or enemy not far away.
She squinted her eyes and signaled Ruan Yushu to restrain his breath. Then, she pretended to be curious and looked at the prisoners.
Their faces were slightly red and they staggered, but they still made me feel danger! Jiang Zhiwei didn't dare to look at them anymore. She withdrew her gaze and understood the source of the danger. The prisoner with his head lowered and the skin around his ears was not an ordinary Exterior master!
At this time, Tian Kuo opened the door to the second floor. The master on duty asked in surprise, "Minister of Justice Tian, who are they?"
"They are newly captured followers of the School of Mo." Tian Kuo said calmly.
According to the "rules" of the spy, he was not allowed to contact any followers of the School of Mo without the order of Sumo and the other four. Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
"What a great harvest!" The master glanced at them and praised.
"Clang!" The door to the second floor was closed. Jiang Zhiwei secretly transmitted her voice to Ruan Yushu, "Are they followers of the School of Mo?"
Ruan Yushu and Mengqi were in charge of the affairs of the followers of the School of Mo. They knew the members of the School of Mo very well. Hearing this, they gently shook their heads and revealed a solemn expression.
"No."
…
In the mansion of the Minister of Public Works.
Gumm Bo was restlessly pacing back and forth anxiously. The fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds outside the window could not dispel the haze in his heart.
"Sumo is insane! How dare he raid the fief and kill Seventh Uncle in the name of killing the unjust! Isn't he afraid of the revenge of the Göng family and Gumgwang-Hole?"
He was born in the Göng family and entered the secret Taoist school of Gumgwang-Hole at the age of ten. He had been respected and feared by outsiders. He had never seen anyone who disregarded the dignity of Gumgwang-Hole and the Göng family like this!
More importantly, he had planned to return to the fief and spend a few days with his beloved concubines. If not for Uncle Master's presence, he would have been the one killed this time!
"Damn it! Should I go back to the mountain without Uncle Master's knowledge and ask the Immortal Sect Leader to send more grandmasters to capture Sumo as soon as possible? "Gumm Bo was a little frightened by Mengqi's audacity and began to think about asking for reinforcements.
But this would point out that Uncle Master Zong was not capable enough and he would bear a grudge. His master was only a Peerless Master Pro and would not be able to handle it!
"Damn it! Damn it! I must kill Su Mo with his chariot! "Caught between a rock and a hard place, Gong Bao hated Meng Qi even more.
Moreover, with the previous incident with Gumm Deng, his father, Gumm Zeng, was worried that Mengqi would take revenge. So he strengthened the defense of the mansion. As long as Mengqi dared to come and assassinate him, the alarm would be immediately triggered and masters would besiege him. Similarly, he made Gumm Bo go out less, which made Gumm Bo's mood worse.
Outside, a bird fluttered its wings and landed on the windowsill. Gumm Bo glanced at it but did not pay much attention.
Suddenly, a soft bell rang in his ears. Gumm Bo felt his Vital Spirit was turned upside down as if he was in a dream!
His Mud-pill Palace emitted a golden light, as if there was a secret treasure to protect his Vital Spirit. But its level was low, so it could only offset part of the effect. He still felt dizzy!
In a blur, he saw a dark bell floating in front of the bird. The patterns on it were dense and chaotic, and there were two big words written on it:
"Hypnosis!"
Mengqi changed back to his original form. It was dark in front of him, and his long saber suddenly slashed out with a posture that could split heaven and earth.
With a flash of the saber, it covered a distance of several feet in an instant and fell on the dizzy Gumm Bo.
Bang! The golden light round cover that he emitted was broken, and the saber seemed unstoppable!
At this moment, Gumm Bo, who was barely conscious, bit the tip of his tongue and performed the supreme Heavenly Knowledge of his sect. His body suddenly disappeared and moved twenty feet away!
As long as he could hold on for another breath, reinforcements would arrive!
As soon as he thought of this, he saw Mengqi suddenly grow two arms. He clenched one fist and punched out. The fist was as white as jade, surrounded by gold, purple, and black and white light spots, looking sacred and dignified.
Bang!
This jade-like fist directly penetrated the layers of defense and hit Gumm Bo's forehead. His brain juice burst out and turned red and white!
He couldn't even hold on for another breath … Gumm Bo fell to the ground softly and fell into darkness, full of unwillingness!
Mengqi thrust out the sword in his left hand and stabbed Gumm Bo. He set the corpse on fire and erased the traces of the Tri-gem Wish Fist. Then, he quickly wrote some words with his blood.
At the same time, he put away Gumm Bo's Space Ring and threw it into his mouth. Then, he turned back into a bird and scattered like the other birds around him!
After a breath, a few auras approached. Some were strong, some were old. They were all the masters of the Gong Yang Family, led by Gumm Zeng.
He was worried about his son, so he focused his eyes and saw the broken corpse. Next to it, there were three big words written in blood.
"Punish the unjust!"
"Punish the unjust …" Gumm Zeng raised his head and his body shook. He almost fainted from anger.
Bao 'er, Bao' er! He suddenly let out a mournful cry and shouted with his teeth clenched,
"Sumo!"
"I'll definitely kill you!"
The rest of the masters grieved for their son. They knew that Mengqi had not escaped far and hurriedly searched the surroundings. But there were no clues!
After the cry, Gumm Zeng's face turned gloomy. He ordered one of the masters to invite the guru Gumgwang-Hole. Sumo came and went like a shadow. No one knew when he would save someone or when he would take revenge. It was difficult to guard against a guru and a few Peerless Master Pros!
He suppressed his grief and methodically issued orders.
Not long after, the rest of the Exterior masters either left to report the news or chased after him. He was the only one left.
He flew into the room and picked up his son's broken body. Tears streamed down his face.
"Son, I'll definitely avenge you!"
He leaped up and flew out of the room. Suddenly, he felt the light in front of him dim and the sky was covered by chaos!
"Oh no!" His heart tightened. He wanted to fly up, but he was too late!
Meng Qi transformed from a startled bird back to his human form. His right hand reached into the void and gently lifted up an ink painting scroll. The courtyard and the house shook like water waves, but they quickly returned to their original state.
The secret treasure: The Map of Mountains and Rivers!
When Gumm Bo returned to his room, he had already stepped into the painting. However, Mengqi did not make a move. Instead, he entered the painting to kill. Otherwise, the movement of the battle would have alerted others!
After killing Gumm Bo, Mengqi did not put away the Map of Mountains and Rivers. He did not go far either. He had an ulterior motive. Instead, he turned to plot against Gumm Zeng. He was really bold!
If Gumm Zeng did not fall into the trap, he would not keep the painting and let them leave with the corpse!
Carrying the painting, Mengqi transformed into Gumm Zeng. He flew to the prison with a livid face. No one dared to ask or stop him. How could the master, who had lost his beloved son, talk to him?
After leaving the mansion, Mengqi directly descended and disappeared into the crowd!
