"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!" Jia Peng said viciously, and attacked Ji Nanshu.
Ji Nanshu stood still, and when Jia Peng got close, he smiled slightly and raised the pistol he had just taken from Chu Mo.
As everyone knows, a gun is fast beyond ten paces, and accurate and fast within ten paces.
So Jia Peng was unfortunately shot.
Jia Peng, clutching his wound with bloodshot eyes, cried out, "You cheated?! Damn it, this guy is so unreasonable! What kind of celestial master fights with guns?! Huh?!
Ji Nanshu touched his nose. "Cheating? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this to rid the people of a scourge!"
As he spoke, Ji Nanshu raised his pistol again, and Jia Peng instinctively moved his feet.
"Don't move around. My marksmanship isn't very good. What if I hit something I shouldn't... that would be bad." Ji Nanshu glanced at Jia Peng's lower body. "If he's dead, that's one thing, but if he's half-dead, someone as wicked as you probably won't be taken care of, right?"
Veins bulged on Jia Peng's forehead. He glanced at the wound on his arm, gritted his teeth, and used a dagger to remove the bullet. In the last two seconds before he finished bandaging the wound, Ji Nanshu raised his pistol and fired a shot near Jia Peng's feet.
Jia Peng glared fiercely at Ji Nanshu: "You're asking for it!"
Jia Peng whistled, and another puppet appeared, lunging at Ji Nanshu.
This puppet was no match for Ji Nanshu and was quickly dealt with. After the puppet was gone, Ji Nanshu noticed that Jia Peng was muttering something under his breath, and he wondered what Jia Peng was planning.
Ji Nanshu had a bad feeling. He raised his hand and shot Jia Peng again. Taking advantage of the time Jia Peng was dodging, Ji Nanshu pushed off with his feet, flashed in front of Jia Peng, and slapped him across the face.
A bewildered Jia Peng: "You hit me?!"
"Oh, can't I hit it?"
Looking at the face so close to his, Ji Nanshu felt a sense of familiarity. There was this man in Ange Village before, and the negative information about him that was posted online seemed to be about this man as well.
Well, this man deserved the beating!
So Ji Nanshu slapped Jia Peng on the other side of his face.
Immediately after casting a talisman to trap the person in place, he prepared to go inside to find Chu Mo.
"Don't you want to know where Ji Xingyu is?!" Jia Peng suddenly asked.
Ji Nanshu stopped in her tracks. "Where is he?"
"Hahahaha, you want to know? Dream on!" Jia Peng's eyes were filled with resentment, but he couldn't beat Ji Nanshu, so he could only resort to verbal attacks.
Just then, Chu Mo came out and said, "Sweetie, Xingyu isn't here."
Ji Nanshu's face darkened, and he grabbed Jia Peng by the neck. "You won't talk, will you?"
Chu Mo did not stop them, but simply stood by to prevent Yu Yao and Jia Peng from suddenly attacking or hurting anyone.
My fingers tightened. "I'm asking you one last time, are you going to tell me or not?!"
Jia Peng's face twisted in disbelief. "Hahahaha, even if I die, someone surnamed Ji will be buried with me. Not a bad deal!"
"I'll grant your wish."
Ji Nanshu closed his eyes, placed his palm on Jia Peng's forehead, gathered all his Spiritual Power in his palm, and allowed his mental power to directly press into Jia Peng's body through the connection point, directly searching his soul!
Jia Peng immediately let out a scream.
A few minutes later, Ji Nanshu threw Jia Peng to the ground and said to Chu Mo, "Second Brother has been taken away by them, heading towards the Imperial Capital. The license plate number is Di A·594SB."
"I told them to go after them."
"Hmm. This Jia Peng..." Ji Nanshu glanced at Jia Peng, "He's no longer of any use."
Jia Peng lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth and chuckling foolishly. He was a far cry from his previous shrewd self, and anyone who saw him now would think he was an idiot.
Yu Yao's eyes were filled with fear. What had this man surnamed Ji done to Jia Peng?! He had turned a living person into an idiot in an instant.
"This woman..."
Seeing Ji Nanshu's gaze sweep over her, Yu Yao immediately spoke up, "I don't want to become an idiot! I'm just following orders! I can tell you anything you want to know!"
Ji Nanshu: "Can you walk?"
"Able!!"
Why not? As long as she's not dead, she can get back up! This pain is nothing compared to becoming an idiot! Look at Jia Peng, he doesn't know what it means to be a wise person when things are going well. She absolutely cannot follow in his footsteps!
Chu Mo kissed Ji Nanshu's forehead and said softly, "Sweetie, Xingyu will be alright. I've already sent them to chase after that car. They'll let me know when they have any news."
When Si Yingwei came out, he saw Jia Peng grinning foolishly on the ground and Ji Nanshu looking somber. He cautiously asked, "Um, Mr. Ji, Mr. Chu... the formation inside has been destroyed, but there are still some villagers from Yangshui Village alive inside. It will probably take a while to get them down the mountain."
"Yes, I've already notified them to come up. Throw this one on the ground directly into prison, and that woman over there... Master of Ceremonies, you'll have someone come over to interrogate her later."
Chu Mo said calmly.
"Good."
It was three hours later when they finally managed to get all the villagers of Yangshui Village, Chunlu, Yu Yao, and Jia Peng down the mountain.
Chu Mo: "Sweetie, Xingyu has been found... but... he's unconscious and has been taken to one of our hospitals for examination. Shall we go there now?"
"Yeah, let's take Brother Cheng with us, he must be really worried."
Hai City Hospital.
Shu Cheng saw Ji Xingyu lying on the bed, pale-faced, and his eyes reddened. " A-Yu..."
Ji Nanshu stood expressionless by the bed, took Ji Xingyu's pulse, and said, "It's poison."
"Poison?! What poison? Can it be cured?" Shu Cheng asked hurriedly.
Ji Nanshu pressed his temples. " Soul Severing. It can be cured, but it's quite troublesome, and two of the medicinal herbs are rather difficult to find."
He remembered who that bastard Xia Hong was; it was Xia Tao, the cunning strategist who used to strategize behind the Blood God Cult leader in the Qiang Kingdom.
If it were him, these things wouldn't be surprising. That person's talent for cultivation wasn't great, but he was exceptionally gifted in these unorthodox methods. Moreover, he probably knew why Xia Tao was doing these things—it was nothing more than seeking immortality.
However, this era is not like the past, nor is it a time when he is second only to the emperor and has no worries. He still needs to be cautious and avoid implicating the Ji Family and his friends.
However, he still couldn't figure out why the Ji Family was being targeted.
Shu Cheng: " An'an, give me the list of medicinal herbs, I'll have someone go find them. If A-Yu hadn't been trying to save me, he wouldn't have been poisoned..."
Ji Nanshu: "Well, I'll write you a list. Two of the herbs are quite common, but the rest might require more effort. I'll keep an eye out for them too. I left a talisman in my second brother's body to stop the poison from spreading. We must find these herbs within a month, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether we can save him."
"I see."
After Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo left the ward, Chu Mo saw that Ji Nanshu was still furious and said, "Sweetie, I saw the list of medicinal herbs. I have three of them at home, and I know where to find the remaining three. Don't worry."
"I want to beat up Xia Hong."
Ji Nanshu suddenly spoke up. He wasn't worried about the medicinal herbs; they were just hard to find, but not impossible.
Chu Mo: "?"
