In the dilapidated courtyard in the southeast corner of the Imperial City, Taishi Xingwei was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun. It had been a few days since he came back from Baishan, and he had been going back and forth for a whole month.
At this time, there was a simple iron bow on his leg. The bow body was golden, the same as the one in the sky when he fought Duanmu Jinglong.
He was holding a wine gourd in his hand. The gourd contained fine wine brewed by abstaining from alcohol, and he was drinking it one sip at a time.
There was a sound coming from the courtyard door, and an old man with the same white hair walked in slowly.
"I heard you were looking for me?" the person said while scanning the surrounding area with his eyes.
"Jiejiu said that you were once captured by the Xie Zang Society, so I specially invited you here to ask where the headquarters of the Xie Zang Society is." Taishi Xingwei sat up straight and asked.
"Are you going to save Daolin?" the visitor asked with a frown.
Taishi Xingwei nodded, his eyes full of determination.
"I advise you not to go." The visitor sighed and said in a calm tone.
"Commander Wei, you must have a close relationship with Daolin. I'm confused. You know who captured Daolin, so why can you just stand by and watch with peace of mind? You are one, and so is the emperor." Taishi Xingwei said sadly.
.
"Shut up! Emperor, you have the right to speak!"
The person who came was none other than Wei Zhengyang, the commander of Yuzhan Mansion.
"Okay, Emperor, I won't say anything. I just want to ask Commander Wei, where is the headquarters of the Xie Zang Society?" Taishi Xingwei stood up from the recliner with his bow in hand.
"I told you not to go, Daolin's life will not be in danger!" Wei Zhengyang took a deep breath and sounded calmer.
"Haha...haha...you know so clearly?" Taishi Xingwei looked at Wei Zhengyang with bright eyes.
"There are many things in this that cannot be solved by you and me in a small realm of creation. There are too many involved. I can't tell you, and don't ask. I can only tell you that Daolin's life will not be in danger."
After Wei Zhengyang said that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
"Wait...since you said so, I still want to ask where the headquarters of the Xie Zang Society is. I'm going to bring Daolin back, or I'm going to accompany him so that he won't be alone." Taishi Xingwei
Said in a deep voice.
Wei Zhengyang stopped. To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable. Especially when the emperor called him over to talk about this matter, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Tell me..." Taishi Xingwei spoke again, his voice trembling.
"I can tell you, this matter is hugely involved, don't mess around, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and may even affect the foundation of the Shenwu Empire!"
Before Wei Zhengyang could speak, a voice had already come to his mind.
Wei Zhengyang and Taishi Xingwei turned around to look, and saw a wave of emperors in black and gold dragon robes appearing in the courtyard at some point.
"Meet the emperor!" Wei Zhengyang saluted quickly.
"Meet the emperor..." Taishi Xingwei also saluted.
"We have had drinks together. You are Daolin's master, and I can be regarded as Daolin's elder. I will not let anything happen to Daolin." The emperor said as he walked to Taishi Xingwei.
He patted him on the shoulder.
"But..." Taishi Xingwei wanted to say something more, but felt the pressure on his shoulders and stopped.
"I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than the true energy of heaven and earth in his body. Sometimes losing it doesn't necessarily mean losing it." The emperor said as he released his hand from Taishi Xingwei's shoulder.
"I'm an outsider and don't understand your thoughts. As long as Daolin is fine, it's fine. It's just that he quit drinking and Kong Xin has already been found..." Taishi Xingwei sighed secretly and said.
"I already know about this. I asked Su Kangbo to chase him just now. I think it won't be long before the two of them come back." The emperor said with a smile on his face.
Taishi Xingwei nodded, feeling that he could hardly bear it when facing the emperor.
"Okay, let's give it up now. I will handle the rest of the matter myself, and I promise to give you a lively apprentice." After the emperor said that, he disappeared directly from the spot.
"With the emperor's personal promise, can you feel at ease this time?" Wei Zhengyang asked softly.
"A strong man who has broken through to the emperor realm by refining the ten true qi of heaven and earth is indeed more important than anything else." Taishi Xingwei said and turned around and left.
Looking at Taishi Xingwei's leaving figure, Wei Zhengyang sighed.
Returning to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's Residence, Taishi Xingwei, who had nothing to do, began to think about his disciples in Fenggui Ze, Baishan Mountain.
………………
"ah………"
"I can't help it..."
"I'm going to die..."
A series of pitiful howls were heard, and nine human heads were exposed in a green swamp. At this time, they all looked miserable with bleeding from their orifices.
And above their heads, an old man in gray clothes sat cross-legged in the air. The old man in gray clothes exuded a terrifying aura, and blue, green, dark, and scarlet light continued to shine around him.
These rays of light slowly fell and merged into the bodies of the nine people below. This was the poisonous skill he had accumulated throughout his life.
"Calm down, don't worry about your festering skin and flesh. Even if you melt into the water, you can't spit out the final soul-fixing pill, otherwise you will definitely die." The old man in gray clothes closed his eyes and said.
The boys and girls below were howling, and from their mouths you could see a white ball, which was emitting rays of light.
After a while, when the nine people were completely stunned from the pain, the old man in gray slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the nine people flew out of Fenggui Ze.
At this time, there is no good spot on their bodies, and their flesh and bones are visible. The only difference from the boys is that the girls are wearing white gauze and cannot see clearly inside, but they are definitely no worse than the boys.
"Senior...Senior...how long can we...we...continue...to survive in days like this?" Su Chen asked weakly while lying on the ground.
"How long? Three years! You can't hold on after only one month?" Hu Qitian said displeased.
"Senior... I... don't... don't... mean... it's just that we... are like... useless people now... this feels... a bit... a bit..."
"It's a bit shameful, isn't it? It will get better after some time. Okay, just lie down and rest here. I will come back early tomorrow morning." Hu Qitian said and left with his hands behind his back.
After Hu Qitian left, Su Chen couldn't hold on any longer, his eyelids sank and he fell deeply into a coma.
They have been like this for the past month. They are like a pile of rotten meat that Hu Qitian throws into Fenggui Ze every day, and then picks them up after they faint from pain.
Their bodies are now full of poison. Although they are in coma, the poison is still stimulating their bodies.
It can be seen from their unconscious and uneasy faces that their bodies, both bones and meridians, are undergoing unspeakable torture at this time.
