Chapter 881: Chapter 0536: I’ll Write You a Promissory Note_2 Chapter 881: Chapter 0536: I’ll Write You a Promissory Note_2 The Wolf Teeth Knife shot was also very precise, burying itself above his left waist with the same accuracy as the first one. Apart from the handle, the entire blade had pierced into his body.

With a Wolf Teeth Knife already embedded in his right chest, Zhong Weixi could no longer hold on after this hit. He let out a pained scream and his body wobbled before plummeting from the sky. At that moment, he was a hundred meters above the ground. A fall from this height would nearly kill him, if not outright.

Qi Tian didn’t want Zhong Weixi to die from the fall—he wanted to extract some intelligence from him. He quickly accelerated, scooping up Zhong Weixi before he hit the ground. He sealed Zhong Weixi’s Dantian and then laid him on the back of the bronze crane statue.

As Zhong Weixi lay there, his gaze wandered unsettledly over Qi Tian. He had recognized Qi Tian, and he couldn’t understand how, in just a few days, Qi Tian had gone from being someone he didn’t even consider to his captor.

Zhong Weixi was not willing to accept defeat just like this. With his face taut and enduring the severe pain, he said, “Boy, I have no idea who you are. I would advise you to think carefully. Can you really withstand the retaliation of our Eight Pill Alliance?”

Qi Tian said, “What does it matter if I can withstand it? And if I can’t, it doesn’t make a difference, does it? The deed is done. I can’t worry about that now. I’ll focus on getting what I want first.”

Thinking that Qi Tian was feigning calm, Zhong Weixi said, “The strength of our Eight Pill Alliance is very formidable, absolutely beyond your imagination. I suggest you release me. I can pretend that today’s events never happened. I won’t seek revenge in the future, nor will I allow the Eight Pill Alliance to seek revenge. Furthermore, I don’t mind telling you, as an outer Gold Corey member of the Eight Pill Alliance, I not only have left my Life Jade Brand with them, but I also have a Life and Death Curse Seal on me. If anyone kills me, the seal will activate, leaving a mark on my killer. That’s how our Eight Pill Alliance tracks down enemies. No matter where you flee, to the ends of the Earth, you won’t be able to escape.”

Qi Tian laughed and said, “You needn’t worry. As long as you cooperate nicely and don’t actively seek death, I think the chances I’ll kill you are slim. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about me, and your so-called Life and Death Curse Seal is most likely to be of no use.”

Seeing his threats were not having the intended effect, Zhong Weixi quickly changed tactics, saying, “Sir, when we were outside the Imperial Family Secret Territory, we made an oath not to harm each other. Both of us have sworn this oath. It hasn’t been long, and yet you’ve struck me. Aren’t you afraid of violating your oath and suffering the Heavenly Punishment?”

The smile on Qi Tian’s face vanished in an instant as he stared at Zhong Weixi and said, “When did you start remembering our oath between us? Just now, when you were coming for me with the Message Paper Crane my comrade sent, you didn’t say that. Who knocked my two comrades down? And who tied them up like pigs or dogs with a rope? Why didn’t you mention our oath then? Now that it suits you, you remember it? Tell me, what does our oath mean to you? Is it toilet paper? Valuable when you need it, and when you don’t, tossed into the trash can—is that it?”

Zhong Weixi was left speechless.

Qi Tian patted Zhong Weixi’s face and said, “Let’s not talk about how much sincerity there was in our oath to begin with. Even if we step back ten thousand paces and say our oath is supervised by the Heavenly Dao, it doesn’t matter. If you, a grandmaster of the Gold Core Realm Fifth Level Peak, are not worried about suffering Heavenly Punishment for violating the oath, what do I have to fear? Worst case, we both break the oath and both face the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. Then, it will be a question of who has better luck to survive the Heavenly Punishment, wouldn’t you say?”

Zhong Weixi had nothing more to say. He realized that Qi Tian was impervious to threats or persuasion through words. He simply closed his eyes, attempting to mobilize the True Essence within his body, aiming to expel the two Wolf Teeth Knives that were stabbed into him. But he soon discovered that Qi Tian’s method of sealing his Dantian was incredibly sophisticated. It completely shut off his Dantian, preventing even the slightest bit of Spirit Qi from being mobilized. Without Spirit Force to activate, he could do nothing about the two knives.

In desperation, Zhong Weixi sought an alternative, hoping to use the scant remaining True Essence to seal his wounds. However, the damage inflicted by the two Wolf Teeth Knives was too severe. Even though the knives were still in his body, large amounts of blood seeped from the wounds. Trying to stop the bleeding with True Essence was almost ineffective.

It was only because Zhong Weixi’s cultivation realm and physical body were extraordinarily strong that he could withstand such severe injuries and still argue with Qi Tian. However, his strength had limits—it wasn’t limitless. If he didn’t receive treatment, his foundation was certain to be damaged. After all, his qi and blood had been siphoned off by Wang Fengna not long ago, and a second substantial loss of blood within a short period, coupled with serious injury, almost guaranteed damage to his foundation.

Zhong Weixi turned to look at Qi Tian, hoping Qi Tian would take the initiative. He wished that without having to beg, Qi Tian would heal him—or, if not offering him healing elixirs, at least remove the two Wolf Teeth Knives and bandage the wounds. But to Zhong Weixi’s great disappointment, Qi Tian’s attitude was one of complete indifference, not even glancing at him.

At first, Zhong Weixi managed to resist begging for mercy. But as time passed and he lost more blood, his will began to falter. He had lost half his qi and blood a few days earlier and hadn’t fully recovered. Now with another great loss of blood, he felt his willpower diminish. If he did not receive treatment soon, he was certain to be finished. He finally opened his mouth to speak, but with excessive blood loss, his voice lacked its usual strength—soft and feeble.

“Sir, whatever our past grievances, I beseech you, please save me.”

Qi Tian looked back at Zhong Weixi and said, “Saving you isn’t difficult, but the question is, why should I? Let’s be clear, we’re far from friends—in fact, we’re closer to enemies. If I save you now, and you turn around and bite back, wouldn’t I be at a great loss?”

“I wouldn’t, I absolutely wouldn’t. I, Zhong Weixi, am not an ungrateful person,” Zhong Weixi hastily clarified his intentions to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian chuckled and said, “Save those words. Even if I don’t believe them, I doubt even you believe them. If you truly want me to save you, then show me some real sincerity. If you can satisfy me, saving you is not out of the question.”

Zhong Weixi promptly said, “Whatever your conditions are, just say them—elixirs, talismans, techniques, treasures, anything. As long as I have it, I can give it to you.”

Qi Tian laughed and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so generous. Well then, why don’t you tell me how much you think your life is worth? How many elixirs, how many treasures? Name a price, let me hear it.”

“I was being coarse. Here’s what I’ll do, if you would save me, Sir, I’ll say no more. Do you see the Storage Bag at my waist? Take it, take everything inside—it’s all yours. What do you think? And if it’s still not enough, no problem, just name a price, and I’ll draw up a contract right now.”
