Chapter 303 The truth emerges

Chapter 303 The truth comes to light

Shi Jin and Fan Hua's expressions changed slightly when they heard this.

"Zhilu, I'll leave this place to you." After Shi Jin gave instructions, he hurried over.

After Shi Jin and Fan Hua arrived, there was one more person in the room besides Li’s father and son.

Xu Mo was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and the bandage on his head was stained with blood, which was particularly eye-catching.

Shi Jin was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Why is he here?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. From Shi Jin's tone, he felt that she seemed to know this man, so he immediately asked, "Do you know him?"

When Shi Jin heard this, his thoughts instantly drifted back to the past.

At that time, she and Fanhua were resting in the inn for a night, but they were abducted from the inn and taken to a cave to be used as medicine men. There were also many other abducted people imprisoned in the cave.

After rescuing them, Xu Mo gave them a jade pendant as a token of his gratitude, and promised that they could use the jade pendant to find him if they had any difficulties.

Shi Jin came back to his senses and replied, "I saved him once before. He is Xu Mo, the young master of Ling Xiao Hall."

"Ling Xiaotang is in Jinzhou City. Could it be that what he said is true?" Li Zhi whispered, revealing a hint of uneasiness in his expression.

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Fan Hua realized that something had happened and asked quickly: "Uncle, what happened?"

Li Zhi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "We bumped into him by accident when we came here. He said that Jinzhou City has been occupied by Xu Wuchen and the people of Jinzhou City are in danger. He asked us to report this to His Majesty."

After hearing this, Shi Jin and Fan Hua looked at each other. Thinking of the fact that Shi Wei had just returned safely from Jinzhou City, a trace of worry and doubt flashed in their eyes.

She asked anxiously, "When did this happen?"

"It's not clear yet. We can only wait until he wakes up and ask him in detail." Li Zhi shook his head helplessly.

The ominous premonition in Shi Jin's heart grew stronger, and she became more certain of her suspicions.

If Xu Wuchen occupied Jinzhou City, how could he let his father return to Beijing?

Either Xu Mo was lying, but this guess was not very likely.

Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, Xu Mo would not joke about this matter.

Then she could only guess what was going on, that her father was being controlled by someone.

If we let him enter Beijing, I'm afraid he will need to do something.

Shi Jin thought about it, feeling uneasy, and asked anxiously: "When will he wake up?"

Li Muci sighed: "I don't know."

Shi Jin said anxiously, "Ah Yu, I feel more and more that our guess is correct. My father must be controlled by that Madam Jiang. Now that my father is in her hands, what should we do?"

Li Muci and Li Zhi were both stunned when they heard this.

Li Muci: "What Madam Jiang?"

Li Zhi: "General Shi has been controlled by someone!"

Shi Jin explained the whole story to them, and as they listened, their expressions became more solemn.

"I heard that people controlled by soul-stealing will forget their relatives and become like puppets, only obeying the orders of the soul-stealer." Li Muci said worriedly.

"If that's the case, things will be tricky." Li Zhi frowned, his face full of worry.

Shi Jin was feeling uneasy and paced back and forth in the room.

Overnight, my eldest brother was killed by someone unknown.

My father was also held hostage by Madam Jiang.

Her eldest brother has already left her, and she doesn't want to endure the pain of losing her father.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Muci suddenly exclaimed: "He's awake."

Immediately attracting everyone's attention, Shi Jin hurriedly moved to the bedside.

Looking at Xu Mo who slowly opened his eyes, he asked softly: "Xu Mo, do you still remember us?"

Xu Mo blinked, took a closer look, and replied, "Remember, you two saved my life, and I will never forget it."

"Then I hope you can tell us everything you know." Shi Jin's eyes revealed a hint of urgency.

"Okay, ask." Xu Mo nodded, looking serious.

"You said Xu Wuchen occupied Jinzhou City. When did that happen?"

Xu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Bingyin month, Guiyou day."

Shi Jin's body trembled violently: "It's so early."

"Before my father went to Jinzhou City, something had already happened in Jinzhou City. So when he went there, he was undoubtedly walking into a wolf's den and there was no way he could return."

When she said this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

When Shi Jin realized this, she suddenly understood.

"So, the letter I received from my father was most likely fake. It's very likely that they were afraid that if my father didn't come back for a long time, we would find something wrong, so they forged a letter from him and sent it to Kyoto to dispel our doubts."

Fan Hua asked, "Since Jinzhou City has been occupied by Xu Wuchen, how did Young Master Xu escape?"

"I went to the bunker to save my father, but was accidentally injured and fell into the lake. I drifted to the Moonfall Village outside the city and was rescued by the villagers. I survived."

Xu Mo still feels scared when he remembers those things.

He was in a coma for two days before waking up and saving his life.

He entered the city only after he had recovered from his injuries. As there was no carriage, he could only walk into the capital, which delayed his arrival for several days.

Xu Mo continued, "After the Wuji Sect, led by Xu Wuchen, entered the city, they started burning, killing, and looting everywhere in the city, and even randomly captured people and took them to a secret bunker in the city. I wonder what they are going to do?"

After Fan Hua caught the key word "arrest people", he was shocked when he thought about Wujimen's previous actions and immediately guessed Wujimen's intention.

His expression suddenly changed. "I suspect they want to refine the Blood Evil Puppet in Jinzhou City."

Xu Mo frowned when he heard this, "What is a Blood Evil Puppet? It can't be the terrifying monster I saw in the cave that day."

"Yes." Fan Hua nodded in response.

Li Muci was shocked when he heard this: "If that's the case, then the people of the entire Jinzhou City may all be refined into blood puppets."

Li Zhi realized the seriousness of the matter and said in a serious tone: "This is a serious matter. I must go to the palace immediately to report to His Majesty." After that, he stood up and walked out without delay.

"Dad, I'll go with you." Seeing this, Li Muci hurried to follow.

Du Xuan happened to be coming to the east wing and bumped into Li's father and son. He nodded slightly, greeted them, and then walked away.

Halfway through the journey, Li Zhi suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked sad.

"There is still time. Let's go to the mourning hall to pay our respects to Shaoqing Shi first, and then go to the palace."

"Okay." The father and son immediately changed their route and headed for the mourning hall.

In the east wing, Du Xuan was reporting to Fan Hua what he had found out.

"Pavilion Master, after a thorough investigation, we have found out the details of Madam Jiang. Her real name is Jiang Yun, and she is a well-known wizard in Southern Xinjiang. However, because she practiced evil magic and manipulated the prince of Southern Xinjiang, she was hunted down by the lord of Southern Xinjiang with the power of the whole country. With nowhere else to go, she came to our country and was taken in by Qin Yixian to work for him. I speculate that the blood evil puppet was most likely made by her."

After learning some of these things, Shi Jin's eyes suddenly became sore and swollen, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

Her voice was filled with tears, and she choked up as she said to Fan Hua, "Ayu, I've already lost one loved one, and I don't want to lose another."

As she spoke, her tears fell uncontrollably.

When Fan Hua heard Shi Jin's words, he looked at her with eyes full of pity and reluctance.

He reached out his hand, gently brushed Shi Jin's cheek with his fingertips, and wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes.

The wetness and heat on his fingers were like a ball of fire, burning straight into his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.

After a moment, Shi Jin slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with determination: "I will go kill Madam Jiang now and rescue Dad."

Fan Hua did not hesitate at all, and held Shi Jin's hand tightly and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

At the same time, the floor of Shi Wei's room was a mess.

Shi Xiaomian was searching the house anxiously for something.

After a few fruitless moments, she seemed to have lost all her strength and sat down in the mess, her face filled with despair.

"Isn't the thing in this room? How could it be gone?"

She explored Jiang Yun's memory and knew that the key to unlocking the soul-devouring technique was the mother soul-eating nightmare leech.

The mother Gu's blood contains a special Gu poison antibody.

Only by dripping the mother Gu's blood into the mouth of the soul-devoured person and allowing the antibodies to neutralize the Gu poison in the body can the power controlled by the Gu poison be gradually dispelled and the controlled person can regain clarity.

After entering the mansion, Jiang Yun hid the soul-eating nightmare leech in this room.

But she looked for the location based on her memory, but found nothing.

She even searched the whole house but still found nothing.

All the hope she had ignited before was extinguished at this moment, and her whole body was cold.

Not long after, Shi Jin, Fan Hua and Du Xuan arrived here and were shocked when they saw the scene inside the house.

Jiang Yun was huddled in a corner with his hands and feet tied.

Shi Wei sat quietly on the bed, without blinking.

Shi Xiaomian sat quietly in the chair, not saying a word, exuding a sense of decadence.

Shi Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Ever since the original owner ran away, she has not been seen since. This was the situation when we saw her again.

She suspected that the original owner had kidnapped Jiang Yun.

And looking at the scene, a fierce battle took place here.

She had no blood relationship with the Shi father and son, but she had regarded them as her relatives in this world. Seeing what happened to them, she was heartbroken and wished to tear Jiang Yun into pieces, not to mention the original owner.

The original owner has not yet exchanged identities with her. It must be unpleasant to have relatives so close but not be able to recognize each other.

Shi Jin asked, "What's going on with Xiaomian? You arrested Jiang Yun."

"Yes." Shi Xiaomian responded simply.

When Shi Jin thought of Shi Wei's soul being taken away by someone, he immediately came to his side to check on him and called out twice, "Dad, Dad."

Shi Wei seemed to turn a deaf ear and did not respond at all.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaomian explained, "General Shi has been bewitched by Jiang Yun's soul-stealing spell and is behaving like a puppet. He will remain like this until the spell is resolved."

Shi Jin then told Du Xuan, "Du Xuan, please ask Gu'er to come over."

"Yes, ma'am." Du Xuan responded and left.

Shi Jin knew that all this was Jiang Yun's doing, and looked at Jiang Yun in the corner with a gloomy look.

The next moment, he immediately walked to her side and asked her, "Jiang Yun, quickly release this soul-stealing spell."

When Jiang Yun saw Shi Jin's face, he screamed and looked frightened by her.

She huddled in the corner in fear, as if she had seen something horrible.

He yelled, "Monster, monster, don't come over here."

Shi Jin was also shocked and stunned by her reaction.

"What's wrong with her?"

Shi Jin looked at her suspiciously: "Are you crazy?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately discarded it the next second, not believing it at all.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she held her shoulders tightly, forcing her to look directly at her: "Don't act crazy or stupid, tell me how to break this soul-stealing spell."

"She's probably crazy." Shi Xiaomian responded indifferently.

When she was extracting Jiang Yun's memory, she was extremely angry and used all her magic, which caused great damage to her brain and caused her to become mentally ill.

"Why did she suddenly go crazy?" Shi Jin was stunned and asked in confusion.

She stood up and glanced at Shi Xiaomian's face with a hint of doubt in her eyes, thinking in her heart.

The original owner was decisive and ruthless...

Could it be that she drove Jiang Yun crazy after knowing the evil things he did to his father?

"I fed her a truth-telling drug, but that drug had side effects and that's what caused her to go crazy," Shi Xiaomian explained.

At the same time, Fan Hua also looked at Shi Xiaomian, his eyes full of suspicion.

He felt that Xiaomian was very suspicious at this time.

She has not been with them all the time, so how did she know that Jiang Yun’s identity was suspicious?

"How did you find Jiang Yun suspicious?"

Facing Fan Hua's suspicion, Shi Xiaomian was not afraid at all. She looked directly into Fan Hua's eyes and calmly replied, "I have seen her in Wujimen before and know her identity."

She paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, he explained: "I learned from her that she controlled General Shi to kill Shi Shaoqing, just because Shi Shaoqing discovered her evil intentions, so she killed him to silence him."

After hearing these words, Shi Jin's face was filled with astonishment, her heart ached, and she felt difficulty breathing.

She murmured absentmindedly, "It's like this."

She never expected the truth to be so unacceptable.

It was too cruel for the father to kill his son.

If one day my father wakes up and recalls this incident, then...

A feeling of suffocation came over him, and Shi Jin didn't dare to think further.

Shi Jin believed Shi Xiaomian's words without a doubt and did not notice that Fan Hua looked thoughtful.

Fan Hua felt that Shi Xiaomian was a suspicious person and was full of doubts.

Jiang Yun is crazy now, so what Shi Xiaomian said may not be applicable to him and may not be fully believed.

Before the accident, only Shi Xiaomian had contact with Jiang Yun. What was her purpose in driving him crazy?
