Chapter 191: Madam Shangguan Arrested
Chapter 191: Madam Shangguan Arrested
Shen Wen carried Chu Yanqiu on his back and slid down from a narrow crevice halfway up the mountain.
Qiu Shui, who had just escaped back to the base camp, naturally discovered them in the mountains.
He ran to Shen Wen with great concern and said, "Did you really go to that cave? I just heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the cave, and the mountain seemed to be shaking. What happened? Are you okay? Where are those shadow snakes? Did they get into your body?"
Shen Wen was only concerned with taking care of Chu Yanqiu. He helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead, checked his body to see if he had a serpent attached to his bones, and felt his pulse. He found that his pulse was disordered, and he was afraid that he had been possessed by a demon as the legend said.
Qiu Shui asked lonely questions, but he was still concerned about the situation in the cave and looked in the direction of the cave frequently.
At this time, the mountain began to shake again, and the rubble on the mountain rolled down.
Qiu Shui returned to Shen Wen and said, "This mountain has been shaking. I'm afraid there will be an earthquake. We can't stay here anymore. We have to move quickly."
Shen Wen pointed at Chu Yanqiu and said to him, "Carry him on your back, let's go to a higher place... to the Goddess Temple! Let's go to the Goddess Temple. His condition is very critical. Let's go to the temple to find some medicine for him."
Qiu Shui said: "This is not appropriate. If there really is an earthquake, we should run to the plains, not to the mountains."
Shen Wen said: "It's not an earthquake, it's the cave of the snake's nest that collapsed. Believe me, our area will only shake for a few times, and there will be no danger after that."
"what?"
Qiu Shui was even more surprised. He asked, "You said the cave collapsed? What happened? Was it because the mechanism there broke down? Will all the shadow snakes inside run out?"
Shen Wen said: "No."
Just two words in response, simple yet thought-provoking.
Shen Wen patted Qiu Shui's shoulder and said, "Hurry up, carry him on your back. We have to move quickly. We may be buried here in the next moment."
Qiu Shui didn't have time to think too much, and just followed Shen Wen's instructions, carried Chu Yanqiu on his back, climbed up the hillside and escaped from the low-lying ditch.
They rode non-stop, step by step, towards the Goddess Temple on the mountain. With the setting sun, they soon arrived at the door of the Goddess Temple and rang the door knocker.
Soon a little nun opened the temple door and said "Amitabha" and said, "Donor, today is the rose season, not the day to burn incense and fast. We are a nunnery and do not accept outsiders. Please go back."
Just as the little nun finished speaking, there were chaotic footsteps behind her, and a familiar female voice said, "It's almost evening. Who is so ignorant of morality and etiquette that he comes to disturb the place where women practice cultivation? How can we allow this clean and noble goddess temple to be polluted by ordinary people?"
The man spoke words about protecting the reputation of the female cultivator and then appeared in front of Shen Wen and the other two, with his eyelids lowered and an arrogant look.
Shen Wen smiled when he saw her, waved his hand and said to her, "What a coincidence! We meet again, Madam Shangguan."
Shangguan Xueer's eyes suddenly widened, and she thought she had seen a ghost.
Ever since Shangguan Xueer returned to the temple through the secret passage, she had been thinking about escaping in time. It was important for her to run away with her servants and several hosts of the serpent. After all, she had offended someone of Chu Yanqiu's status, and Chu Yanqiu's family would soon come looking for her. If they discovered her whereabouts by then, she would surely be dead.
"You? Impossible! This is impossible..."
Shangguan Xueer looked behind Shen Wen. Who else could the man being carried on his back be but Chu Yanqiu?
"You guys? How did you escape?"
Shen Wen said sarcastically: "Of course he escaped after killing your treasure. Humph... I want everyone in the world to die... I want to dominate the world... My holy object is invincible! You are just dreaming..."
Shen Wen was not polite either. He took advantage of the moment when the woman was stunned and kicked her in the stomach. The woman was kicked back and knocked down several followers and nuns behind her.
Everyone got up from the ground and naturally wanted to fight back against Shen Wen, but unexpectedly, Shen Wen was a little faster than them. He grabbed Shangguan Xueer, put the dagger on her neck, and threatened everyone: "Don't move! Be careful or I will kill her."
At this time, a nun came to mediate the atmosphere and said to Shen Wen, "Amitabha, female donor, please talk to me nicely. Let's talk about what you want."
……
Just like that, Shen Wen and three others stepped into the guest room of the Goddess Temple.
Shen Wen grabbed Shangguan Xueer's shoulders and placed the knife close to her neck. He said to everyone, "Everyone, step back. I'm going to negotiate with your Madam Shangguan. Remember to cooperate with me and don't try to sneak attack her. Otherwise, I will cut her throat without hesitation. Do you understand?"
No one dared to say anything and immediately retreated.
Qiu Shui carried Chu Yanqiu on his back and closed the door tightly.
Shen Wen pushed Shangguan Xueer onto the armchair, causing her to stagger.
Shen Wen played with the dagger in his hand and said, "I heard that everyone in Lingjian Villa, regardless of gender or age, knows some martial arts, so just in case, I secretly put some Soul-Breaking Powder on you, which will only paralyze your nerves, making you weak and unable to use any strength."
Shangguan Xueer squeezed out a few words from between her teeth and said, "You... are despicable!"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Now he has lost his previous arrogance and seems a little more human. I have said it before, no matter how powerful a person is against humanity, without sharp teeth and the advantage of defeating others, he will be just like an ordinary person, pretending to be a timid rabbit and spitting out a few confusing sour words to paralyze people."
Shen Wen said, "Alright! We have almost finished playing the game. I will give you two conditions. If you give me medicine to treat the internal injuries caused by snake venom, I will give you an intact body. If you find all the followers of the same religion, I will give you a comfortable death."
Shangguan Xueer said nothing.
Shen Wen said, "Don't be so lucky. If you don't die today, you will be surrounded and killed by the heroes of Xiliang City one day. You won't die in one breath. Maybe they will cut you into 3,600 pieces to vent their anger. Today's ending is a great bargain for you."
Shangguan Xueer's body trembled...
She still said stubbornly: "After all, you still borrowed the power of the entire Xiliang City and the entire martial arts world... You are such a powerful talker, woman!"
Shen Wen sighed and said, "Alas! I can actually perform the punishment of a thousand cuts and cuts. I can perform it much more perfectly than those executioners. Why don't you try it now? Anyway, your nerves have been damaged by me, so you shouldn't feel any pain."
Shen Wen leaned over and touched her little face and said, "Let's start with this pretty face. It's so tender... I might as well cook it in a hot pot and then feed it into your mouth. How about that?"
Shangguan Xueer now understood that it was not just a unique woman like her. It turned out that every ordinary woman could be more vicious than her when she got angry, and had the foundation to pursue female hegemony.
Shangguan Xueer said earnestly, "You are so powerful, wouldn't it be great if you could be an empress who controls the world? I am willing to devote my life to helping you. Even if... even if I have to become the host of the bone-attaching snake, I will agree to it to show my loyalty! How do you think?"
Shen Wen is so powerless!
It's totally irrelevant and like talking to a cow.
He looked at Qiu Shui and said, "Do you know what this is called? This is called professionalism. Professionalism means... because of this matter, I was beaten to death and then came back to life, and then was beaten to death and came back to life again, over and over again. How can mortals like us deal with people like them? I don't know where those emissaries who are talked about by word of mouth have gone to fool around."
Shen Wen lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, he raised his head and said, "You know that Chu Yanqiu has a powerful secret guard corps, right? Tell me, from the moment you decided to kill Chu Yanqiu, have they had time to save their master Chu Yanqiu? It's already this time, and you've delayed for so long. I think I have no choice but to withdraw. You and Chu Yanqiu will soon be taken over by them. Don't worry, I will help you deal with your snakes, and I guarantee that not a single one will survive."
Shangguan Xueer immediately shouted excitedly: "No...you beast!"
Shen Wen scratched his itchy ears, turned around and said to the window, "Come in! You probably know that no one in this nunnery can be spared. They must be locked up. There must be a host of the serpent. Pull out this woman's tongue. Her mouth can command the serpent. Watch her closely. If you find her making any move, kill her."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight secret guards flew in and told Shen Wen that they would do as he said, and then they each did their job.
Shangguan Xueer's face flashed with pain and struggle, and she cried out in despair, "No!"
The goddess suffered a disaster because of the secret guards of Shangchu Yanqiu. After a night of chaos and commotion, the perfect goddess temple in people's imagination finally returned to peace.
This time, Master Qiushui really believed that Shen Wen was a noble son of a wealthy family. He smiled and bowed to Shen Wen, saying, "Master Seventeen is so powerful. It turns out that I really misjudged you and thought you were a gigolo. I'm sorry."
Shen Wen said, "It's okay. This is something that happened before. Let's not talk about it. Mr. Qiu Shui, do you need my help? If not, then we will part ways for the time being. My family has some urgent matters to deal with, so I can only say goodbye now."
Qiu Shui said politely: "Please, please! I'm fine... Mr. Seventeen, just do your own thing, and we'll meet again in the future if we're destined to."
Shen Wen also said: "Then we have to do this. Within ten days, if Master Qiushui is still on Hongwan Mountain, I will treat Master Qiushui to a meal. How about we go to a famous tavern in the capital and have a drink together?"
Young Master Qiushui also smiled and said, "That's great! Then I, a country boy, will benefit from Young Master Seventeen's influence. One day, I can imitate those famous young men in the capital and sit in a luxurious tavern to show off my elegance."
Shen Wen winked at him and said, "You are too polite! Isn't it said that your immortal sect is extremely difficult to enter? Without a predestined relationship in three lifetimes, you can't even reach the threshold."
Qiu Shui laughed and said, "Mr. Seventeen, you are joking. It's just a joke... just a joke!"
