Qin Yi originally wanted to tell him everything about his encounter with Wu Kun, but on the second thought, he decided to make up some stories in his narration.

He said that he accidentally found Wu Kun full of wounds and unconscious when he was about to get out of that unnamed mountain.

Since they both are fellow taskers, he decided to save and heal Wu Kun using a Rank 2 Healing Pill.

"I see. I thank this fellow cultivator for saving and bringing Wu Kun here..." 

Deputy Han clasped his fist appreciatively toward the black-cloaked man.

"It's nothing. In the first place, we were both placed on the same mission by Captain Li, so it should be right that helped my fellow tasker when he was in trouble." Qin Yi humbly said.

Deputy Han asked politely, "May I ask who this fellow cultivator is?  I've never seen you before, are you perhaps a newly registered disciple of Guardian Temple?"

"No, no." Qin Yi immediately shook his hand and replied.

"I'm— I'm just one of Captain Li's secret aides. I was secretly assigned to investigate that unnamed mountain because Captain Li couldn't feel relieved to leave this mission to Wu Kun alone."

"A secret aide... Since you are his secret aide, I supposed it wouldn't be improper to ask for your confidential identity."

Deputy Han was a bit taken aback by the introduction of the black-cloaked man, then he said.

"However, I never expected that Captain Li would have a capable aide like you. This fellow cultivator must be powerful that you can even break out of the formation that surrounds the unnamed mountain."

Qin Yi secretly smacked his tongue upwards and yelled in his heart.

'Lucky, Senior Brother Li Hai is absent!'

This person may not be easy to fool, but it's definitely not as troublesome as his senior brother.

Anyway, when Li Hai returns, he might be able to understand Qin Yi's intentions.

Although Qin Yi's mouth was full of lies, Li Hai couldn't deny that his junior brother helped him a lot in this investigation.

Rather than punishing him, Li Hai might instead reward this junior brother of his.

In response to Deputy Han's praise, Qin Yi immediately shook his hand and returned humbly.

"Where, where~ I was capable of doing that thanks to the treasure that Captain Li left behind. He probably already predicted that Wu Kun and I would face a crisis someday; therefore, he prepared this treasure. If someone deserves credit, then this credit must belong to Captain Li."

"You are too humble a fellow cultivator. Without your wisdom and abilities, it would be very difficult for you to get out of that unnamed mountain unharmed. What's more, you were even managed to save Wu Kun. That is a remarkable achievement!"

Deputy Han said with a smile on his face before he continued.

"Anyway, I'll immediately command some of the Guardian Temple disciples to go to that unnamed mountain. As for this fellow cultivator, you should take some rest and leave the rest to us!"

Qin Yi was about to nod. However, he cautiously reminded Deputy Han.

"Deputy Han, please be careful with whatever king is. Since his subordinate is Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation base is definitely higher than his subordinate..."

"Don't worry, fellow cultivator. Although he may be powerful, his cultivation base is unlikely to reach the Core Formation Realm. Otherwise, why would he be interested to the blood of the mortals?"

Deputy Han gave reassuring words and explained his intention.

"When fiend cultivators have reached the Core Formation Realm, their dishes are no longer ordinary dishes. Therefore, that whatever king's cultivation base at most at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. As long as he is still within the realm of Foundation Establishment, we have many ways to deal with him."

Deputy Han's words were reasonable and somehow made Qin Yi's heart feel relieved.

That's right, why should a Core Formation Realm cultivator appear in such a barren mountain?

The appearance of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator on that barren mountain was already shocking enough, let alone the Core Formation.

"It seems like my concern is unnecessary, please forgive this one, Deputy Han." Qin Yi clasped his fist with a little bow.

Deputy Han smiled and said, "There's nothing to apologize, fellow cultivators. Your concern was not completely unnecessary. It's just that I already have a lot of experience dealing with fiend cultivators. Therefore, I know a lot about them."

Qin Yi nodded to Deputy Han's explanation.

Although he also knew a few things about fiend cultivators, they all came from a series of words written in books. Meanwhile, Deputy Hal learned from experience.

So, it was only natural that Deputy Han knew more about fiend cultivators' behavior than Qin Yi.

Also, since Deputy Hal is so confident in this operation, Qin Yi can only leave it to this person.

He just had to wait for the results tomorrow.

Hopefully, everything goes smoothly.

With that kind of mind, Qin Yi decided to return to the sect and calm the children in his Mystical Garden.

Even though the children are good and sensible, they are still children after all. Separating them from their relatives all of a sudden must have shocked and confused them.

As the one who took them to a strange place, Qin Yi should be there to calm them down.

Upon watching the black-cloaked man leave, the polite smile on Deputy Han's face gradually disappeared without a trace.

"Xue Qi, Xue Jiu!"

As soon as he said that, two people in white robes and wearing veils with a character pattern on their faces suddenly appeared behind Deputy Han.

"Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency."

"Xue Qi take this guy to the Temple of Nothingness and do what you are supposed to do!" Deputy Han gave the order briefly.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Xue Qi responded and immediately took Wu Kun, then disappeared from the spot.

"Xue Jiu, follow the black-cloaked man just now!"

"Your Excellency should I eliminate him?"

To this question, Deputy Han turned around and slowly walked away. However, before that, he left a few sentences to the white-robed person.

"Don't forget to take all his possessions home. If what the black-cloaked man said is true, he should have the treasure that Li Hai gave him. It would be a pity if we left it in the wild."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

As he said that, he too immediately disappeared from the spot.

When Deputy Han walked alone, his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Recalling the report he had just heard, he couldn't help but feel irritated.

"Those waste, they can't even handle two mice in their territory, and they even let these mice escape."

"As expected, that newly crowned Blood King was just a fool and useless being! I shall kill him the next time I see him."

"What a mess..."

***

An unknown amount of time has passed. When Wu Kun opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a stone bed.

However, the problem was that chains bound both his hands and feet. What's more embarrassing was that he was not wearing any clothes.

"What is this?"

"Wait, shouldn't I be dead? But why did I end up in this situation? Is this hell?"

Wu Kun felt panicked and confused by this unknown situation of his.

He still clearly remembered what happened after he drank his grandfather's Body and Spirit Enchant Wine.

He also still remembered that he was completely powerless in front of his enemy. Because the enemy was too powerful, the effects of the wine he drank faded too early, and he ended up in a dead-like state.

After that, he didn't remember anything else.

——And when he opened his eyes, he found himself ending up in this situation; stripped and chained on a stone bed.

"Speaking of which, are my injuries all healed? It's unbelievable that such serious injuries can be healed. As expected, this must be hell!"

But... does hell actually have a culture like this?

Wu Kun looked around and found that he was in a narrow room lit only by two torches on the stone wall.

"So you're awake?"

Suddenly a man in a white robe and hood entered the room.

"Who—"

Wu Kun was about to ask 'who are you,' but he just realized that he couldn't speak. Not only that, but he was also unable to move at all.

"You can't talk because I sealed your whole body including your mouth."

Xue Qi walked towards Wu Kun and stopped beside him. Then he stroked the stone bed that Wu Kun was sleeping on.

Unbeknown to Wu Kun, this stone bed had actually been carved by a unique pattern.

"Oh, looks like the formation is ready..."

Formation?

Wu Kun did not understand what this person was saying. But for some reason, he had an ill feeling about this.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything but listen to this guy talking.

"You must not know that someone actually managed to save you from that mountain..."

Did someone save me?

Wu Kun couldn't conceal his surprise.

To think that someone managed to save him in such a dire situation.

But who is that person?

"But that person left you here. I don't know whether you were lucky or unlucky. After all... you ended up in our hands in the end."

At this moment, the formation beneath Wu Kun's body suddenly shone.

"Ugh!"

Suddenly Wu Kun's eyes bulged out as their color turned red like blood.

He felt an unpresentable pain all over his body; it was even more painful than the effects of drinking the Body and Spirit Wine he had experienced before.

The blood...

His blood seemed to be being sucked in by something, and his mind, also little by little, started to blur.

What is this?

Help... someone...

***

While elsewhere...

After replenishing his Qi by drinking his miraculous water, Qin Yi was ready to use Void Jump again to return to his Dragon Cave in the sect.

Before he jumped into the void, he glanced back at the city.

For an unknown reason, he suddenly felt an unsettled feeling in his heart.

Maybe it was about what was going on in the unnamed mountain.

Qin Yi shook his head before jumping into the void and then disappearing.

However, when he disappeared, Xue Jiu suddenly appeared near where Qin Yi disappeared.

He looked left and right as if he was looking for something.

"Damn, where did that guy go?"
