What made the two most frightened was that the young man smiled at them with two silver needles in his hand. Seeing the cold gleam of the needles, they couldn’t help shivering.
“Little Brother? What are you going to do?” One of the middle aged men asked, watching the young man’s evil smile in horror.
Feng Jiu played with the two silver needles in her hand and smiled with her eyes narrowed to a squint. “I think you are tired after following me. Well, why don’t I let them have a good rest on the tree?” As she spoke, with a flip of her hand, the two silver needles pierced the men’s acupoints.
“Hiss! Aaah!”
They gasped. Their bodies turned limp all of a sudden. Immediately after, their spirit energy breaths disappeared without a trace. When the two of them couldn’t sense their spirit energy breaths, their faces turned pale.
“How’s this possible? You, what did you do to us?”
Feng Jiu pulled out the silver needles and said with a smile, “Don’t thank me. I’m just giving you a lesson.” She took their cosmos sacks, put them in her space, then clapped her hands. “Alright, just hang here!”
When they saw the young man about to leave, they shouted hurriedly. “Don’t go! Don’t go! How to return our spirit energy breaths? What on earth did you do to us? Come back, come back…”
The people behind her kept shouting while Feng Jiu waved away. Soon after, her figure disappeared from a small path…
In the evening, she reached the place she had agreed on with Lei Xiao and others. As she entered the grove, she felt someone watching her in the darkness, and as she went on, she heard the sound of surprise.
“Captain!”
“It’s the Captain!”
“Captain is here!”
The sound of surprise rang out one after another, followed by the men in black’s appearance in the forest. When they saw the young man dressed in azure, their eyes were full of joy.
“Captain, I’m glad you came back safe and sound! We were worried that you would be trapped! ” A man in black said.
“I got delayed on the road. By the way, is everyone here?” She inquired, glancing over the crowd. The number of people didn’t seem quite right.
“There’s still one team to arrive tomorrow, they should be alright.” Lei Xiao came out and spoke.
“That’s good.” She nodded, followed them into the grove, and sat down. “Did they all arrive today?”
“Yes, we have just arrived. Bi San also spoke. This time, everyone took off their masks and revealed their original appearance.
She thought for a moment. “Alright, then! I’ll take some of you with me into the city to buy daily necessities. The current black outfits have the mark of the Shadow Night Palace on it and need to be replaced.”
“Yes. I’ll bring several of the brothers to follow you!” Bi San said. Just as he was about to say something, one of them came forward. “I want to go, too.”
A man in black stepped forward. Feng Jiu saw that it was the bearded man. But, his beard was now shaved and his appearance radiant.
“Alright, go, then! The others wait here. In addition, take the marks off your black outfit so that you won’t be recognized.” She gestured towards the badges on their arms that were printed on their clothes.
So, they tore off the badges and burned them, then followed Feng Jiu into the city.
“Captain, did you drink wine? I smell wine on you!”
