Chapter 883: Chapter 0537: It Must Be Abnormal_2 Chapter 883: Chapter 0537: It Must Be Abnormal_2 Qi Tian used his flying sword to cut off a pendant from the ankle chain, then waved it in front of Zhong Weixi and said, “I told you to co clean and not to lie to , but you just wouldn’t believe . Look now, I’ve caught you red-handed. I regret to inform you that you’ve lost your chance for redemption. Now, it’s ti for you to think carefully about how you’re going to save your own life.”
Seeing that Qi Tian had uncovered the carefully hidden ankle chain, Zhong Weixi was both surprised and pained, with noticeable terror in his expression. He was surprised that Qi Tian had found the ankle chain so quickly and accurately, sothing unheard of. The pain ca from the fact that the chain held his treasured possessions—half of his wealth was in that chain. If Qi Tian were to search it, he would be left penniless, and in the Cultivation World, being penniless was akin to being utterly dood. As for the terror, it went without saying; with no possessions and having lied to Qi Tian, he didn’t even know if he would be given a chance to live.
Under the weight of these emotions, Zhong Weixi could no longer hold on and blacked out completely. To have withstood until now after being struck by two Wolf Teeth Knives was quite remarkable indeed.
Qi Tian looked over Zhong Weixi, who had passed out, and confird he wasn’t pretending. Only then did he reach out and pull out the two Wolf Teeth Knives from Zhong Weixi’s body, before applying dicine to his wounds. This dicine wasn’t cheap at all; it was a top-grade healing pill left behind by Master Ming Ren, which worked miraculously on such life-threatening knife wounds.
Sure enough, after the dicine was applied, Zhong Weixi’s wounds stopped bleeding imdiately, and there were even signs of healing. Nevertheless, given the severity of Zhong Weixi’s injuries, even if the wounds were to heal, it would still take a good amount of ti for recovery.
The crane statue carried Qi Tian and the unconscious Zhong Weixi back to the oasis. Qi Tian, holding the severely injured Zhong Weixi, stepped off the back of the crane statue and onto the sandy soil of the oasis.
Xia Xiaoming and Gao Jini were still bound by ropes, but were overjoyed to see Qi Tian bringing Zhong Weixi back, for this ant there was a way to untie the ropes that bound them. They had tried many thods to untie the ropes to no avail; these ropes were wickedly tricky, and if not handled correctly, the more one tried, the tighter they would bind, causing unbearable suffering.
Qi Tian took out his flying sword to cut Xia Xiaoming and Gao Jini free, but Jin i hurriedly said, “Master, don’t cut, please don’t cut. This rope is likely a replica of the Binding Immortal Rope; it is hard to make, costing two to three thousand middle-grade spirit stones per rope. If you cut it, although losing the spirit stones is bearable, such a rarity isn’t easily purchased and should be conserved for possible future use.”
Qi Tian shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Fine. If you’re willing to endure a few more days of suffering, then keep suffering. Zhong Weixi is seriously injured. To wake him up, it’ll probably take a few days.”
“No problem, I can wait.” Jin i had always wanted a rope like this but never had the opportunity to acquire one. Now, with just a few days of waiting, she could handle it.
Qi Tian shook his head and simply sat down to one side. He took out the two used Wolf Teeth Knives. On the way back, Qi Tian had already removed the talismans from the knives, and now he only needed to redraw them.
After Qi Tian had re-energized the two Wolf Teeth Knives, half a day had passed, Zhu Weixi was still unconscious. Qi Tian was in no rush to wake him; he took out three of Zhong Weixi’s Storage Magical Treasures, intending to inspect each one.
Zhong Weixi’s Storage Magical Treasures had all been refined and were connected to his mind. Under normal circumstances, no one could open these treasures without his permission.
However, this rule didn’t apply to Qi Tian. A black hole erged in his palm, and first, he sucked in the storage false tooth. Monts later, the black hole reappeared, and the false tooth reerged in Qi Tian’s hand. At the sa ti, Zhong Weixi’s body jerked, a trickle of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The mind attached to the false tooth was absorbed by the Heavenly Dao Engine as fuel, causing Zhong Weixi to suffer a backlash.
Qi Tian showed no courtesy as he transferred all the valuable items from the dentures into his Storage Bag, leaving behind only those things he deed unworthy. After emptying the dentures, Qi Tian then had the Heavenly Dao Engine devour the soul imprints Zhao Haiying placed on the anklet and Storage Bag, causing Zhong Weixi to vomit two mouthfuls of blood.
Indeed, Zhong Weixi was far wealthier than Zhao Haiying, Gao Jini, and others. Qi Tian transferred over a million Middle-grade spirit stones alone, in addition to a vast array of talismans, and books.
Fortunately, Qi Tian was sowhat rciful in his approach, not completely emptying the three Storage Magical Treasures. Even with commodities as essential as Middle-grade spirit stones, he left Zhong Weixi with several hundred thousand. As for the Low Grade spirit stones, he did not take a single one. Of course, when it ca to the top-grade spirit stones, he did not leave any for Zhong Weixi.
It was lucky that Zhong Weixi was unconscious at this ti; had he been awake, the sight of Qi Tian looting him like this would have surely made him spit out several more mouthfuls of blood.
Watching Qi Tian loot Zhong Weixi so thoroughly, Xia Xiaoming had no reaction whatsoever, having already signed a Servant Pact devoid of human rights with Qi Tian. Whatever Qi Tian did seed right to him, and Gao Jini, who had signed the sa pact, felt imnse relief. After all, Qi Tian had never treated her like this and had never searched her Storage Magical Treasures.
After transferring everything, Qi Tian began to search through the books carried by Zhong Weixi, hoping to find information related to the Imperial Family Secret Territory. However, before finding the relevant materials, he ca across the control spell for the Binding Immortal Rope and, imitating the instructions, easily released the rope that bound Gao Jini and Xia Xiaoming.
Qi Tian casually tossed the jade slip with the control spell to Gao Jini and said, “The rope and this slip, I’m giving them both to you.”
Gao Jini was overjoyed, took the jade slip, and went aside to practice with the rope.
Qi Tian hurriedly browsed through the books, a task requiring patience. He did not involve Xia Xiaoming but went through them alone. The entire process lasted nearly a day, with disappointing results; Qi Tian did not find a single clue about the Imperial Family Secret Territory.
Qi Tian furrowed his brows deeply. He had hoped to find so clues in the books, which would have saved a lot of trouble. But now, it seed that this simplest thod was futile. If he wanted to find clues, in the end, he would have to rely on Zhong Weixi.
Approximately two days had elapsed since Qi Tian captured Zhong Weixi, who had remained in a deep coma, refusing to awaken. The first problem Qi Tian needed to solve to extract information from Zhong Weixi was how to bring him back to consciousness.
This was no easy task, as cultivators had many self-protection thods, including one that allowed them to remain unconscious or even deeply asleep for extended periods. When in such a state, no matter how they were stimulated by the external world, they would not wake up.
Zhong Weixi’s injuries were severe, but the dicine Qi Tian used on him was quite effective. Under normal circumstances, Zhong Weixi’s injuries should have mostly healed, and he should have awakened. The fact that he continuously refused to wake was definitely abnormal and could be attributed to Zhong Weixi’s subconscious behavior; he did not want to face Qi Tian upon awakening.
