Chapter 2207: Still Forgot Something
Chapter 2207: Chapter 2207: Still Forgot Something
He continued to shirk responsibility. As long as he didn’t die, it didn’t matter who did. As long as it had nothing to do with him and the Yiinn Family, the High Priest Demon Heart would let him go, right?
“Tsk.”
An Jiuyue let out a soft tsk. She truly admired this General Ning—his ability to say what fit the situation, whether talking to humans or ghosts, was no small feat.
“Who would’ve thought General Ning would give advice to the Central Emperor?” she remarked.
In the study, the lieutenant, who didn’t dare move an inch, also had his thoughts when he heard this exchange.
Their general advising the Central Emperor? It was already good enough that he didn’t incite the emperor into doing something even more horrific, let alone offering advice. That was absolutely not something their general would do.
“Y-yes, High Priest, you see it clearly. I often advise the Central Emperor, but many times, the emperor doesn’t heed my counsel. He has always been a stubborn and self-opinionated person.”
General Ning nodded and, in passing, took the opportunity to smear the Central Emperor.
“High Priest, someone as magnanimous as you, please spare me. I truly have never committed any wrongdoing against the Yiinn Family. The ones who had Yiinn Family members killed were the Central Emperor and the Emperor of Beikun together!”
“Heh.”
An Jiuyue let out a chuckle.
Was this man an idiot? He actually thought she might let him go?
Qian Jiyun didn’t give General Ning another chance to speak. He directly took a rope out of his space and tied him up. Then, he pulled out a medicinal pill and forced it into his mouth.
“No… no… what did you… what did you feed me?”
General Ning was trembling inside with fear. What had these two given him? Could it be poison? Was he about to die?
“A pill to abolish your cultivation,” An Jiuyue replied to his question. She watched as her husband tore a strip of fabric from General Ning’s clothes and stuffed it into his mouth, effectively silencing him.
If they were sending someone to the city walls, it was only natural they wouldn’t be standing guard all the time.
As for someone with cultivation, a simple rope could easily be broken. Naturally, abolishing his cultivation was necessary. Besides, for someone like this, cultivation on his part would only be used to commit evil.
“Mmph, mmph mmph!”
General Ning widened his eyes in shock as he stared at the two people before him.
He had initially thought that being sent to the city walls was his golden chance to escape. As long as he managed to flee the capital and find some random place to hide, it would surely be impossible for them to track him down.
After all, these people couldn’t possibly stay in the Plant Plane forever. Sooner or later, they’d leave.
Once they were gone, he could return, take revenge on the Yiinn Family, and then live a quiet life incognito with his wealth. It sounded like a good plan.
But who would have imagined that the High Priest Demon Heart would be so vicious, even to the point of thinking to abolish his cultivation!
Without his cultivation, how was he supposed to escape?
Was he supposed to rely on his subordinates? They might have the ability to rescue him, but once the news of his lost cultivation leaked, those people would no longer obey him.
While he might successfully escape the capital by then, returning would be completely out of the question.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot something.”
It was as if An Jiuyue could read his thoughts. She moved her fingers lightly, and a paper person appeared in Little Nuonuo’s hand.
“Nuonuo, call your big brother out,” she gently coaxed her little baby.
