Chapter 78: The Heartless Pill
Qian Jin's words seemed to have struck a nerve with the Valley Master of Heartbreak; his face darkened, and he said loudly:
"Someone, set up a fishing net formation."
As soon as the Valley Master of Heartless Valley finished speaking, sixteen disciples in green robes rushed in with fishing nets and quickly surrounded Qian Jin.
The four fishing nets overlapped, completely blocking Qian Jin's path.
Little did they know that Qian Jin had no intention of escaping at all; otherwise, how could they have trapped him with their formation?
Before long, Qian Jin was caught in the fishing net and could no longer struggle free.
Bound in the fishing net, Qian Jin couldn't help but shout:
"You old geezer, if you're so capable, come over here and have a fair fight with me."
What kind of hero uses such despicable methods?
The Valley Master of Heartless Valley snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said:
"Hmph! If I weren't about to get married, would I be so polite to you?"
"Guards, lock him in the cell. We'll deal with him after my wedding."
Upon hearing this, the green-robed disciple immediately bowed and accepted the order, then together they led Qian Jin away.
After all the disciples had left, the Valley Master of Heartless Valley addressed the Golden Wheel Monk and the others:
"I'm getting married today, why don't you all stay and join me for the wedding banquet!"
……
After being imprisoned by the disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak, Qian Jin used his martial arts skills to escape from the prison.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Gongsun Lü'e sneaking towards them.
Upon seeing Qian Jin, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Qian, how exactly did you escape?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but smile and say:
"How could a mere fishing net possibly trap me? I merely intend to sneak in and abduct the girl your father is going to marry."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e's face immediately showed some emotion, and she said:
"Brother Qian, were you deliberately provoking my father outside just now, trying to ruin his wedding?"
"Of course, since I said I would prevent your father from marrying you a new mother, I will definitely keep my word."
By the way, you know this valley better than I do, do you know where your father hid your new mother?
Gongsun Lü'e shook her head upon hearing this and said:
"Brother Qian, even if you find her, she probably won't go with you."
When my father rescued her from outside, she had already wandered into a field of love flowers and been poisoned by them.
"She wouldn't have survived without my father's Heartless Pill."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"The Heartbreak Pill? That's easy. Just tell me where it is, and I'll go get it."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e said:
"Brother Qian, you may not know this, but there is only one Heartbreak Pill left in the valley. Moreover, this pill is extremely difficult to make, and many precious medicinal materials cannot be found."
Father hid her in the alchemy room. Even if I told you the exact location, you probably still wouldn't be able to find which pill is the real Heartless Pill.
"This is really difficult. How about you take me to the alchemy room while your father is away, and we retrieve the Heartbreak Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e hesitated.
According to the rules of the valley, anyone who enters the alchemy room without permission is guilty of a capital offense.
If she takes Brother Qian with her, her father will probably not forgive her if he finds out later.
But then I thought, if Brother Qian hadn't tried to ruin her father's wedding, why would he have gotten himself into this mess?
So what is there for her to hesitate about? Even if her father doesn't forgive her, so what?
Anyway, she wouldn't have a good life after her father's wedding, so she might as well just die.
"Miss Gongsun, is there some difficulty you are facing?"
Upon hearing Qian Jin's question, Gongsun Lü'e immediately shook her head and said:
"It's nothing, Brother Qian. I'll take you to the alchemy room to get the Heartbreak Pill right away."
With Gongsun Lü'e leading the way, the two soon arrived at the alchemy room, where they found the Heartbreak Pill from a large pile of pills.
"Is this the Heartbreak Pill?"
Qian Jin took the Heartbreak Pill in his hand, examined it carefully, and then put it away.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e quickly replied:
"Brother Qian, this alchemy room is a forbidden area in the valley; we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave quickly!"
Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and was about to leave with Gongsun Lü'e when Gongsun Zhi, who had suddenly arrived, blocked him in the alchemy room.
"E'er, you are my own daughter, how could you betray me for this man?"
Upon seeing Qian Jin, Gongsun Zhi immediately understood that Gongsun Lü'e had secretly left earlier to rescue him.
He even went to the alchemy room, trying to steal his Heartbreak Pill.
"Father, I...I didn't mean to betray you."
Upon hearing Gongsun Lü'e's words, Gongsun Zhi snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph! You even stole my Heartbreak Pill, and you still say you haven't betrayed me? I saw it with my own eyes; you gave the Heartbreak Pill to this brat."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin scoffed:
"You old geezer, all you think about is getting married. When have you ever considered your daughter's feelings?"
If you had even a shred of conscience, you wouldn't force Li Mochou to marry you just because you coveted her beauty, using the Heartless Pill.
Gongsun Zhi was actually only in his forties, not old at all, but today Qian Jin had repeatedly called him a decrepit old man, which enraged him. He said:
"You brat, I didn't intend to kill you on my wedding day, but since you've chosen to die, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Do you think you have that ability?"
Qian Jin sneered, completely disregarding Gongsun Zhi's threat.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhi could no longer tolerate it and swung his palm at Qian Jin.
Qian Jin recently mastered the Ultimate Nine Yin Manual, and his strength is now even greater than that of the Five Greats.
Let alone Gongsun Zhi fighting bare-handed, even if he were wielding his golden knife and black sword, he would only be able to take a beating.
So after a few moves, Gongsun Zhi was knocked to the ground by Qian Jin.
"You old codger, do you still think you can kill me? If it weren't for your daughter, you'd probably be dead by now."
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, Gongsun Zhi was horrified.
He never expected that his opponent, so young, would possess such high martial arts skills! With a casual move, he could render him utterly powerless.
With such martial arts skills, how could he have been captured so easily? It seems that the other party deliberately feigned weakness and then took the opportunity to sneak into the alchemy room and steal the Heartbreak Pill!
Furthermore, given that the other party had targeted him from the beginning and wanted to stop his wedding, Gongsun Zhi instantly realized that Qian Jin was probably there for Li Mochou.
Even so, if it weren't for his daughter's betrayal, the other party would never have known the secret of the Heartbreak Pill.
So he immediately got up from the ground, then moved closer to the alchemy furnace and secretly moved its position.
After he had moved all three alchemy furnaces, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. It was clear that after being seriously injured by Qian Jin, he had been forced to exert force, which had aggravated his injuries.
