Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 220 The Thousand-Faced Gentleman

"Then that's it! Come with me!" The middle-aged man was arrogant and spoke to Ji Daoyi in a commanding tone, as if he were someone superior.

For a moment, Ji Daoyi felt a surge of displeasure.

He's a man with a temper, and even though he's all alone now and has no support, he shouldn't be treated like this.

"Who are you? Why should I go with you! If you don't explain yourself, go back to where you came from."

Ji Daoyi's expression darkened, and his tone became deep and resolute!

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat frightened.

"That's not up to you! I was originally planning to take you away without resorting to violence, but since you're so ungrateful and insist on me doing it, then I'll make you suffer!"

No sooner said than done, the middle-aged man began to act!

Ji Daoyi never expected that he would dare to make a move here!

Just as he was about to resist, he found himself completely unable to move, and his head lolled to the side as he fainted.

"A mere brat at the Nascent Soul Realm dares to rebel? How can I, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, still have the face to live?"

The middle-aged man grabbed Ji Daoyi and quickly left.

Not long after the middle-aged man left, Shen Nan arrived at Ji Daoyi's residence, knocked on the door, and found that Ji Daoyi was not at home at all!

"Strange, didn't they say they were coming back? Why aren't they in the house?"

Just as he was wondering, Dan Daozi suddenly appeared!

"What are you doing here?"

"Greetings, Elder. I am merely following Elder Wang's instructions to invite my young friend Ji Daoyi to be my guest."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nan turned around and saw Dan Daozi standing behind him, as silent as a ghost.

Shen Nan was also startled, and then quickly bowed.

As a member of Elder Wang's lineage and an alchemist in the Pill Hall, how could he not know Dan Daozi?

(Am I too late? Was Ji Dao taken away by Dan Daozi's men early this morning? Is he here just to warn me?)

"Ji Daoyi is my nephew's disciple. Although he hasn't gone through the formal apprenticeship ceremony yet, it's a done deal. Do you understand what I mean?"

Dan Daozi's words were very straightforward: it was a done deal, Ji Daoyi was already one of them, so they shouldn't even think about it!

How could Shen Nan not understand his meaning? Wasn't this a warning to them?

"I don't understand what you mean by that, Elder. I came to see Ji Daoyi simply to get to know him and make friends. I have no other intentions."

"He doesn't seem to be home right now, so I'll take my leave."

After Shen Nan finished speaking, he left without waiting for Dan Daozi's reply!

Upon hearing this, Dan Daozi was also taken aback. He used his spiritual power to scan Ji Daoyi's residence and found that Ji Daoyi was indeed not in the room!

He thought to himself, "Could it be that he has already been taken away by someone else! Or am I just too late?"

Dan Daozi originally thought that his intervention would be foolproof, but he was still a step too late.

However, he quickly regained his composure and was not worried at all that Ji Daoyi would agree to the recruitment of other factions.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ji Daoyi was captured by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman!

After half an hour

Ji Daoyi also slowly woke up!

They found themselves trapped in this pitch-black space.

Moreover, this space is constantly moving.

In an instant, he realized he had been kidnapped!

"Uncle, why did you kidnap me? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Ji Daoyi made two symbolic shouts while simultaneously pondering how to escape!

The kidnappers seemed to hear Ji Daoyi's shouts and stopped in their tracks!

Then Ji Daoyi felt himself being thrown to the ground.

However, before the spatial bag binding him could be untied, the middle-aged man's voice rang out!

"Kid, behave yourself, or I won't hesitate to make you fall into a deep sleep again."

"I really don't know what you have that makes the Lotus Sect pay so much money to have me take you out of Dan City alive. Is it because of your talent? Although I have observed that you have a lot of talent in alchemy these past few days, it is not enough to make me do this."

Upon hearing the Lotus Sect's name, Ji Daoyi knew something was wrong.

The Lotus Sect may have kept quiet, and in order to avoid antagonizing the Pill Palace, they had the person in front of them kidnap him!

"It seems they still believe the scriptures are in their hands. I thought I had gotten away with it, but it turns out they just didn't want to make a scene on the spot."

"It seems I need to be more careful when dealing with these holy sites in the future!"

"The problem is how to get away from this person. I definitely can't win in a fight, so I have to outsmart him. Otherwise, if he takes me to the Lotus Sect, I'll have no hope of escaping!"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Daoyi had an idea and said to Qianmian Langjun, "Uncle, my master is Dan Chenzi, and my grandmaster is the master of the Dan Hall. If they find out that you were the one who kidnapped me, you will definitely be hunted down by the Dan Hall. You don't need to risk your life for a little bit of bounty."

"I'll give you double whatever Lotus taught you if you release me."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman fell silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Ji Daoyi assumed that his words had made the other party wary, so he decided to press his advantage.

"Uncle, I..."

However, before he could launch an attack, he was angrily interrupted by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman!

"Who are you calling 'uncle'! You're the uncle, your whole family are uncles!"

"I imagine my thousand-faced gentleman, dashing and debonair, handsome and charming, captivating all who behold him, with an imposing presence and dashing good looks!"

"You actually called me 'uncle'!"

"Which saintess or goddesses haven't fallen for my unparalleled beauty!"

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman opened the tied sack, letting Ji Daoyi's head pop out!

Ji Daoyi was also completely bewildered. He thought it was because of his background that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman was wary of him, but he didn't expect that it was because of his unintentional "uncle" that he broke down!

"Look closely! Am I an old man or not!" The Thousand-Faced Gentleman grabbed Ji Daoyi's head with both hands, forcing him to look into his eyes!

"Jade...Jade tree in the wind! Absolutely stunningly handsome."

"That's right! I knew I, a little white dragon in the waves, couldn't possibly be an old man!"

The man of a thousand faces styling his long hair that was flowing between his eyebrows in a very flamboyant manner!

"Don't think you can get away with telling the truth!" The young man in front wasn't worried that Ji Daoyi would run away, so he didn't immediately re-tie the rope on the sack.

"You claim to be the grand-disciple of the Pill Hall Master? What proof do you have?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my grandmaster. I will officially return once my master comes out of seclusion."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Go ask your grandmaster if I can come back. Don't have any unrealistic ideas, or you'll regret it." The Thousand-Faced Gentleman had an air of "I see right through you."

He thought to himself, "I knew this mission wouldn't be simple. And they told me it was just a kid? Is this kid? This is a hot potato."

"No, we can't do a losing business. If we want this kid, we have to raise the price!"
