The courtyard of the Chang Family of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect was dead silent at the moment.

Everyone, including Ji Qinghan, was dumbfounded, totally not expecting that this kind of thing could happen.

The Drug God was actually on the premises of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, tied to the gates of Tian Sha City, where he was having poop thrown at him.

“How was this possible?”

The Drug God was a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. How could he have been captured so easily?

To be able to do this, one must have been at least a grand master or a Celestial King.

“How can this be, what exactly happened? How could the people from the Exploding Heavens Faction appear in Tian Sha City?” the Master of the Chang Family was furious, and he roared loudly.

The impact of this incident was going to be extremely great. If the Drug God had been captured in the middle of his journey, it would’ve had little to do with them. But now he’d been captured in the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, and this had only happened after he’d moved into the backyard of the Chang Family, which meant that the Chang Family now needed to take the main responsibility.

In the future, when the Divine Farmer Clan investigated this incident, the Chang Family would definitely be blamed. For the Chang Family, who were currently desperate for development and status, the capture of the Drug God was a huge blow.

Therefore, the Master of the Chang Family was already angry enough to lose his mind. His entire body was shaking and his eyes were bright red. He wanted to kill someone in order to vent his anger.

“All the disciples of the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect are to obey my orders and arrest all the people from the Exploding Heavens Faction and rescue the Drug God,” the Master of the Chang Family roared in a voice that carried all across the area.

Ji Qinghan’s expression changed immediately, and she said in a low voice, “Elder Chang, what do you mean? Our Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect is meant to be neutral. Now that you’ve ordered us to attack the Exploding Heavens Faction, isn’t that making an enemy of the Exploding Heavens Faction?”

“Shut up,” the Master of the Chang Family spoke angrily and stared fiercely at Ji Qinghan. He bellowed, “If we aren’t hostile to the Exploding Heavens Faction, wouldn’t it be making enemies with the Divine Farmer Clan?”

“This isn’t what I mean. I still have to remind you of our neutrality. After all, this major event affects the entire Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, ” Ji Qinghan answered coldly, gave a slight bow, and then turned to leave the Chang Family’s backyard, rushing back to the Ji Family’s backyard.

Along the way, she walked faster and faster, and her heart was so anxious it was skipping beats.

This event had surprised her, as she’d never expected that Xu Que would dare to attack the Drug God. But she had many doubts about this matter that left her puzzled.

“The Drug God clearly had the existence of a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. How could Xu Que capture him so easily?”

“Could it be that the Exploding Heavens Faction also had a powerful person of the Celestial Prime level?”

“However, if it was like this, it was also difficult to understand. If the Exploding Heavens Faction really had such a powerful person, why would he do something so embarrassing? Wouldn’t it be better to directly fight with the Divine Farmer Clan?”

With a heart full of confusion, Ji Qinghan hurried back to the backyard of the Ji Family’s house.

When she saw Ji Wuyun, the Ji Family had already heard about the capture of the Drug God, and Xu Que and the others had all left the Ji Family’s backyard.

No one knew about Xu Que’s stay in the Ji Family’s backyard except for Ji Qinghan and Ji Wuyun, as well as a few of his confidants.

So, at this moment, most of the Ji Family felt very indifferent, and some were even gloating at the Chang Family’s misfortune. After all, it was the Chang Family that was implicated this time.

“Ha, ha, ha, every cloud has a silver lining! If the Chang Family hadn’t taken the Drug God away from us, I’m afraid this misfortune could have fallen on our Ji Family,” an elder of the Ji family laughed as he spoke.

The others nodded and smiled, ecstatic on the inside.

Only Ji Wuyun was full of embarrassment and stood silently at one side. Seeing Ji Qinghan, he hurried toward her. However, before he had the opportunity to speak, Ji Qinghan stopped him with a look.

At the same time, Ji Qinghan faced the Master of the Ji Family and the others and said, “Elders, you should all have heard about the Drug God and the Exploding Heavens Faction. I’ve just come from the Chang Family, and the Master of the Chang Family is ready to order the rescue of the Drug God. We can’t let him do this.”

“Rest assured. I, jointly with the other families, have just reported to the Master of the Chang Family requesting that the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect continue to be neutral. If the Exploding Heavens Faction can quietly capture the Drug God from our Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, there must be a strong power at hand.”

The Master of the Ji Family laughed, and he looked as if he were still a teenager. “What I mean is that we shouldn’t go wading in muddy water. As long as we don’t get involved in this matter, we will at most just lose face. As for accounting to the Divine Farmer Clan, the Chang Family can explain for themselves.”

“This is good news, but something seems strange,” Ji Qinghan said as she frowned.

“What’s wrong?” the Ji Family looked at Ji Qinghan.

Ji Qinghan hesitated a little and shook her head, “It’s not easy to say now. I want to go to the city gate with Wuyun to see the specific situation.”

“That’s a good idea. Wuyun once knew Xu Que’s father, who is a part of the Exploding Heavens Faction. It’s good that the two of you go over to take a look, but remember not to get into a conflict with them,” the Master of the Ji Family said solemnly. “The origins of the Exploding Heavens Faction are unknown. As we have no major grievances with them, there is no need to provoke them.”

“Grandpa, rest assured,” Ji Qinghan answered.

The Master of the Ji Family suddenly smiled, “With Jinghan handling this matter, I’m very assured. Leave now!”

Very quickly, Ji Qinghan and Ji Wuyun left the backyard of the Ji Family and rushed to the city gates.

Along the way, Ji Qinghan frowned slightly but didn’t speak. She kept walking ahead.

Ji Wuyun’s heart was bitter. After checking that no one was around, he quickly caught up to her. “Sister, don’t be angry. It’s all my fault, but I didn’t expect Brother Xu to do this…” Ji Wuyun grimaced.

He’d thought that Xu Que’s father was an illogical person who didn’t play cards according to common sense, but he didn’t expect that Xu Que was even more outrageous and even dared to kidnap the Drug God. What a sh*t! Sure enough, the son was just like his father, and the actions of the son far surpassed the father’s.

But now, he could only helplessly hope that his sister wouldn’t be so angry. After all, Xu Que capturing the Drug God was beneficial and not harmful to their Ji Family.

“Wuyun, do you realize that if the Drug God hadn’t been invited to the backyard of the Chang Family, but had been captured in our backyard, what the outcome would have been like?” At this point, Ji Qinghan stopped and asked sharply.

“Of course I know,” Ji Wuyun smiled bitterly and nodded. “But…sister, if the Drug God had really been in our backyard, I believe that Brother Xu wouldn’t have captured him and implicated us.”

“You believe that?” Ji Qinghan frowned, evidently not satisfied with Wuyun’s answer. She shook her head and sighed, “Maybe…maybe this is the reason why we all think that you aren’t suitable for the position of the Divine Son. Wuyun, there are some things you can’t just look at on the surface. Even more, you can’t trust outsiders!”

“Sister, I understand what you’re saying, but…” Ji Wuyun frowned, hesitated for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and firmly said, “I’ll always believe in Brother Xu. Although I haven’t known him for a long time, I think he is a bright person. Despite his unexpected behavior, he won’t harm us without reason.”

“…..” Ji Qinghan looked at Ji Wuyun blankly and nodded silently, turning to continue walking. She didn’t care what kind of person Xu Que was. What she had to figure out now was exactly how Xu Que had captured the Drug God. A trivial person like Xu Que shouldn’t have been able to quietly capture the Drug God. There must have been a strong force behind him. And she also really wanted to know what Xu Que wanted to do.

This guy had taken the risk of offending the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect by capturing the Drug God, tying him to the city wall, and throwing poop at him. “Did he really do so much just to humiliate the Drug God and the Divine Farmer Clan?”

This was so incomprehensible!
