"Brother, surely you know what we’re guarding here, right?" The first person to speak widened his eyes at Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng shook his head: "I was warned when I arrived not to ask questions, so I didn’t dare to say a word."
"You’re really honest." The man sneered, "Let tell you, there’s a big shot locked up here..."
"What big shot?" Gu Qingheng showed imdiate curiosity.
"It’s the Cloud King of Daxuan."
"What?"
"When the uprising starts, he can be used to threaten the Emperor of Daxuan, or even to raise the battle flag. I’m telling you, using soone from the Imperial Family as a battle flag is the most effective; it ensures victory in future battles."
"Uprising? Isn’t that rebellion?" Gu Qingheng was startled, "With just a handful of us, how can we stand against Daxuan’s million-strong army? What if..."
"What do you know." The man rolled his eyes at Gu Qingheng, "I tell you, our Master and Young Master, they are the rightful heirs."
"Rightful heirs of what?"
Just as the man was about to say sothing, soone outside urged them to patrol, abruptly ending their conversation.
Although Gu Qingheng suspected Qi Jingyun was imprisoned here, receiving definite news allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. With the location confird, the next task was figuring out the rescue.
The key issue now is to determine Qi Jingyun’s condition; seeing him would make decisions easier.
But how can he et the Cloud King?
Another question lingered: what exactly did they an by ’rightful heirs’?
With these questions, Gu Qingheng began observing his surroundings more carefully. He discovered that the patrols of the dicinal Soldiers were actually quite limited; most of the area was monitored by the congregation.
How do they control these herbalists?
The answer ca quickly—sound. He previously paid no attention, thinking it was so special bird call, but later realized that every ti the strange bird call sounded, the herbalists would start moving.
However, the source of the bird call remained elusive for now.
Without imdiate answers, Gu Qingheng didn’t dwell on it. The urgent task was to et the Cloud King.
Opportunity arose while searching for it.
A mber of the congregation approached, carrying a al box.
Gu Qingheng’s eyes imdiately lit up. With a flick of his wrist, a flash of golden light appeared, and the man suddenly fell forward, the al box flying from his grip.
Instinctively, Gu Qingheng reached out and caught the al box, standing there bewilderedly as if unsure what to do next.
"What happened?" A junior leader ca over, and upon seeing the congregation mber had expired, he gasped in shock.
Soone imdiately checked: "Bitten by a poisonous snake." Then shook their head, indicating the person was already dead.
The junior leader was visibly startled; he couldn’t believe there were such powerful snakes here. Operating in this area, they had naturally inspected it thoroughly and even spread so dicinal powder. Unexpectedly, there were still poisonous snakes present. However, in Miaojiang, poisonous creatures are abundant. He instructed people to scatter more anti-poison powder around the area.
Holding the al box, Gu Qingheng remained silent, knowing this was his only chance to et Qi Jingyun.
