After chewing the Medicine Pill, Wei Chuan said coldly to Gu Shiyi,
"There is a medicine box under the seat, take it out!"
Gu Shiyi pursed her lips and said nothing. She laid Youngest Miss Sun beside her, told her to turn her face away, and then bent down to take out the medicine box under the seat. Opening it, she took out the Hemostatic Powder and white cloth. Amidst the rocking and pounding of the speeding carriage, she struggled to get close to the old man to apply the medicine. However, with the carriage bouncing wildly, only half of the medicine powder actually sprinkled onto the old man's face—the other half scattered over Gu Shiyi.
At this moment, they could not afford to be concerned with such matters. After the medicine was sprinkled, Wei Chuan took the white cloth and wrapped it around his head a few times, managing to stop the bleeding. He then glowered at Gu Shiyi with the one eye that was not covered and bandaged, saying ferociously,
"Behave, or I'll think about taking your life. It's just a matter of intent, even in my current injured state!"
Gu Shiyi remained silent, merely retreating back, picking up Youngest Miss Sun. Wei Chuan was pleased with Gu Shiyi's sensible behavior. He turned his head vigilantly to look behind the carriage, saw that no one was pursuing them, and then he let out a breath of relief, coldly smiling as he said,
"So what if they're Great Cultivators? Even they cannot escape or evade my Elder Brother's Godslaying Thunder!"
It might seem a small matter, but its power is immense—even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, if unguarded, could be blown to the state of Nascent Soul Spirit Leaving The Body, unless it's a High-grade Cultivator from the Buddhist Sect who cultivated the Vajra Body and could evade it. Alas, such a treasure is not easily refined; my elder brother only gave me a single one for this outing!
When he looked back while escaping, he saw that man had become a bloodied figure fallen on the ground; if not dead, then grievously injured—and unlikely to catch up anytime soon!
However... Wei Chuan had seen his fair share of Great Cultivators and knew well that they had many methods to heal their physical bodies, and even if unable to heal, they could still send a message to their sect!
Sect…
The thought of that man having fellow sect members made the muscles on Wei Chuan's intact side of the face twitch uncontrollably. His visage was already terrifying, and this twitching made it all the more frightening. Gu Shiyi shielded Youngest Miss Sun's eyes and grew apprehensive, fearing that in his grievously injured state, the old man might suddenly go mad and kill both her and the Youngest Miss!
She held Young Sun tightly and watched Wei Chuan, whose face was becoming soaked through the white cloth with fresh blood, until the old man finally spoke,
"Come here!"
Gu Shiyi, stunned, dared not move. Wei Chuan shouted again,
"Over here! If you're not obedient, I'll have to activate the Zhong Worm!"
Having no choice, Gu Shiyi laid down the Youngest Miss and sat beside the old man. By now, perhaps noticing they had gone far, the carriage finally slowed down and was no longer so bumpy!
Wei Chuan told her,
"Stretch out your hand!"
Gu Shiyi hesitated for a long time but, before Wei Chuan could explode with anger, she stretched out her hand. She saw him reach into his robe and pull out the jade box,
"Hold this!"
Gu Shiyi was puzzled. She looked at the jade box in her palm, then at the old man who only had half a face left. Wei Chuan tugged the corner of his mouth, revealing a hideously dreadful smile. He then touched his head and removed an ancient-looking Jade Hairpin. Holding the hairpin in his hand, he hummed,
"I never thought the day would come when I'd need to use it!"
As he said this, he used the Jade Hairpin to lift a Seal on the lid with Gu Shiyi's hand. Gu Shiyi's eyes widened as she watched him effortlessly pick off all the talismans without causing any disturbance to the Prohibition. Seeing her surprise, Wei Chuan couldn't help feeling smug and said,
"Don't underestimate these talismans set by Great Cultivators. This item here is a rare treasure left by a remarkable person who excelled in the Thievery Art. He stole from all over the world but never stole from Great Cultivators. Afterwards, he pondered deeply and created this object that can unlock talismans and locks with Formations without triggering any Prohibition..."
Indeed, the old man was formidable; despite such grave injuries and having bled profusely, in just a short while, he seemed to regain much of his vitality, speaking with a strong voice. The hand holding the hairpin was also steady. In just a short period of time, he had picked off all the talismans on the jade box, then with a light push from his other hand, he pushed the lid of the box upwards, revealing the plant inside. To those who were not discerning, the plant would appear ordinary, nothing more than a few leaves surrounding a small Red Berry. However, the dense Yin Energy emanating from it was not something any ordinary plant could match!
