Chapter 889: Chapter 558: Process

Between their words, Xu Yuan and Xu Mengxi had also arrived beside the pit that had been smashed open.

Upon seeing the figure in the pit in an instant, Xu Mengxi’s brows unconsciously furrowed.

The large hole that pierced through the right chest was clearly staining the ground with bloody dust, while four blades had separately pierced through the limbs; however, the most fatal injury was still the wound inflicted by the knife that had entered through the lower back, destroying the Dantian and then stabbing out through the abdomen.

Qin Weishu seemed to have already fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xu Mengxi closed in an instant, pulled out the four longswords, and swiftly checked Qin Weishu’s vital signs.

In contrast to Xu Mengxi, who was concerned that the culprit might die, Xu Yuan felt a sense of relief in his heart upon seeing Qin Weishu’s condition.

In the recent fight with Qin Weishu, he had used many of his trump cards, many of which were known to Xu Mengxi.

If the kid were still awake, Xu Yuan would have to be wary of Qin Weishu carelessly mentioning any characteristic features of his spellcraft to this female constable.

The fact that he had fainted saved him a lot of trouble.

However, as Xu Yuan understood this woman, once she took on a case, she wouldn’t just be responsible for the capture; she would also oversee the subsequent interrogation process.

Although the probability of their conversation about his spellcraft characteristics was small, to avoid exposure to the greatest extent, he would have to promptly get the Prime Minister Party within the judicial system to transfer Qin Weishu away from the Secret Investigation Department.

While he was thinking, the female constable’s slightly interrogative voice entered Xu Yuan’s ears:

"Since you’ve destroyed his Dantian, why didn’t you stop his bleeding?"

"..."

Xu Yuan looked up and met Xu Mengxi’s sharp gaze.

There it was, suspicion again.

But Xu Yuan had long grown accustomed to this.

When it came to case details, Xu Mengxi would become particularly obstinate, or even paranoid.

This was probably an essential quality of a divine constable, being able to suspect anyone who could be doubted.

This woman had even once sent her direct superior to prison, an incident that had almost implicated her own master.

Once a suspect, even to her own benefactor, she would pursue the investigation relentlessly.

His reply was concise, with a tone suggesting it was only natural:

"Because this person possesses strong Dao Charm, I do not wish to take the risk."

Xu Mengxi found herself at a loss for words and said in a low voice,

"We were slightly late. He could have died."

"So, is he dead?"

"..." Xu Mengxi was speechless.

Walking slowly to the woman, Xu Yuan looked down at Qin Weishu, who lay like a corpse, and said softly:

"Within the range of the soul mist, I can sense everything clearly; he won’t die."

At that point, Xu Yuan smiled faintly:

"However, if you don’t stop his bleeding soon, he might indeed die."

"..."

At his words, Xu Mengxi didn’t say anything more; she simply started to tend to the task with efficiency and familiarity of a professional.

Bending down, she channeled Qi to her fingers and swiftly pressed on several points on Qin Weishu’s body, sealing the acupoints with a secret technique to temporarily stop the bleeding.

However, due to the through-and-through wound in his chest, Qin Weishu’s organs had already begun to fail, and the blood within his body was decreased by four-fifths; even after stopping the bleeding, his life force continued to rapidly slip away.

Realizing this, Xu Mengxi immediately unfolded the outer flap of her dress, opened a fragrance pouch, and was about to stuff an elixir into Qin Weishu’s mouth.

"Slap..."

Suddenly, a palm seized her wrist that was feeding the medicine.

After a moment of silence, Xu Mengxi looked up, her eyebrows furrowed.

Xu Yuan calmly asked,

"Is that an Anti Energy Pill?"

The Anti Energy Pill was fairly common on the market.

It was affordable but was not a healing medicine, rather an energy-restoring elixir.

The "blue bottle" in "Cangyuan."

Simplified, it could grant the consumer some extra pure Origin Qi.

With Integration Body already began to transcend the mortal flesh, as long as the brain was intact, even if the heart was shattered, one could survive for quite a long time using Origin Qi in place of it.

It was essentially trading mana for health.

The main reason Qin Weishu’s condition had deteriorated to this extent was that his Dantian had been destroyed; now, using an Anti Energy Pill to activate his body’s self-preservation mechanism was indeed a viable solution.

"Hm."

Xu Mengxi glanced at her seized wrist, nodding her head and counter-asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xu Yuan’s voice had a strange undertone,

"After using this thing, are you going to let him launch a sneak attack on you with the help of its power?"

Qin Weishu’s Dantian was destroyed, not his meridians, and with external Qi, his spellcraft could still be used.

Hearing this question, Xu Mengxi’s beautiful eyes stiffened, and she replied peculiarly,

"He’s already near death from severe injuries, how could he launch a sneak attack on me?"

Xu Yuan smiled lightly, his tone gentle,

"I hope you do not take the risk unnecessarily. With Primordial, you must be extra careful or his Dao Charm could severely injure you."

The reason it wasn’t a rapid kill was because Qin Weishu hadn’t mastered "Will," so he couldn’t deliver reduced healing effects.

Pressing her lips together, Xu Mengxi quietly put away the Anti Energy Pill,

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"It’s simple. You feed him this brain-fogging powder along with it."

Xu Yuan replied with a smile, "That way, his mind will sink into the Illusionary Realm, and naturally, he won’t be able to make any sneak attacks."

No joke, once the Anti Energy Pill was swallowed, Qin Weishu would certainly wake up, and Xu Yuan did not want to give the young man any chance to communicate with Xu Mengxi.

With those words, regardless of whether Xu Mengxi agreed, Xu Yuan directly threw out a Jade Bottle containing blue powder from his Sumeru Ring.

Catching it instinctively, Xu Mengxi glanced at the Jade Bottle in her hand and hesitated to ask,

"This brain-fogging powder seems to be a strong sedative... Why do you have it?"

She had handled cases where many prodigals used this substance to take the innocence of daughters and knights from noble Sects.
