Chapter 226 Dao Yi Complains, Pill Palace Responds

"Picked it up?"

Ji Daoyi suddenly realized, "That's right. The Thousand-Faced Gentleman is so powerful. Your strength is about the same as mine. How could you possibly save me from him?"

"It seems that something happened that I don't know about while I was unconscious, which prevented him from bringing me to the Lotus Sect."

Seeing that Ji Daoyi was constantly making up his own thoughts, Wu De completely believed what he said.

It wasn't that he didn't want to admit that he was the one who unintentionally saved his life, but he couldn't reveal this fact, otherwise he would incur the revenge of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.

Wu De now felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the gift he had left for the Thousand-Faced Gentleman. "He shouldn't be that careless, right? After all, he's a powerful expert; he shouldn't be unable to detect my little trap."

"If he knew that I was the one who took his Qiankun bag and left him a gift, he would tear me to pieces."

"It seems this Qiankun bag is still a hot potato. I'll have to be careful when using it in the future. Damn it, it's frustrating to have a treasure but not dare to use it."

Ji Daoyi looked at Wu De, who was suddenly in a daze, and called out, "Hey, Fatty. Fatty..."

"What are you thinking? You're not still plotting to steal my scriptures, are you!"

"Ah~ yes! No."

"I knew it! You're still up to no good! But since you helped me, I'll make a copy for you. But let's make it clear beforehand, you'll have to lend a hand when we fight against the Lotus Sect in the future!"

"I'm a man of principle, don't worry, there won't be any problems! After all, we've been through thick and thin together, so we're friends!"

Wu Delu said somewhat nervously, "As for the harm caused by the Lotus Sect, it's nothing compared to the divination results my grandfather gave me."

"Friend, I guess so! Fatty, I'm leaving now. Come find me at the Pill Hall if you have the chance." Ji Daoyi said as he walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, a jade mirror appeared in his hand. It was the scripture he had obtained through all sorts of means, and it was also something the Lotus Sect needed.

"Fatty, catch!"

Then he left without looking back.

Before Wu De could react, he instinctively caught what Ji Daoyi threw at him.

He looked closely and realized that the jade mirror in his hand was exactly what he had been wanting all along.

"I didn't expect you to just dump it on me so easily. Aren't you afraid I'll double-cross you?"

At this point, Wu De couldn't quite understand Ji Daoyi anymore.

After leaving Wu De's residence, Ji Daoyi rushed back to the Dan Palace without stopping, as only the Dan Palace could help him now.

"Dao Yi, you're back. Where have you been all this time?"

When he returned to the Dan Dian residential area, he happened to run into his friend Cheng Ke'er.

“I almost didn’t make it back.”

Cheng Ke'er was shocked upon hearing this, "What happened?"

"The reason I disappeared is because I was kidnapped by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, who is employed by the Lotus Sect."

"What? The Lotus Sect? How dare they? Are they declaring war on our Pill Hall?"

Cheng Ke'er was shocked, and then asked, "Then how did you escape?"

"It was probably just luck. I was stuffed into a sack by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman right in front of my house. He then took me out of Dan City. He said the Lotus Sect offered him a high price to come to the Dan Palace and take me there. I had already resigned myself to my fate."

"I didn't expect that when I woke up I would already be back in Dan City, and then I was rescued by the fat man from the Tianji Pavilion, and rested at his place for a while."

"This is utterly lawless! How dare they act like this in the Pill Hall!"

"Let's go find the elders and report this matter to them. We must make the Lotus Sect give an explanation. Do they really think our alchemists in the Pill Hall are made of clay, to be arrested whenever they want?"

So Cheng Ke'er and Ji Daoyi went together to meet Elder Dan Daozi!

"What? You're saying you were kidnapped by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman that night, and that the Lotus Sect paid him a high price to do it?"

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's complaints, Dan Daozi slammed his fist on the table and stood up. He never expected that the Lotus Sect would be so bold as to send people to infiltrate the Pill Hall and kidnap the alchemists.

"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle. The Thousand-Faced Gentleman told me that night himself. He even put me in a sack, which was very sturdy and I couldn't break it at all."

Although I don't know who saved me, I can sense that the Lotus Sect will not give up easily.

They will definitely attack me again to achieve their goal, so I beg my grandmaster uncle to do me justice!

Do you know why they arrested you?

"This junior doesn't know. Perhaps they still suspect that I took their so-called scriptures! But I certainly don't have the scriptures they're talking about!"

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's description, especially upon learning that he had been stuffed into a sack-like container, Dan Daozi believed his account.

"It seems that our Pill Hall has been dormant for too long. Some people have forgotten that our Pill Hall is also a sacred place, and we also have Saint Realm Venerables!"

"Go back first. I'll report this to the Palace Master. We'll definitely have Lotus teach you and give the Pill Palace a satisfactory answer."

Having received Elder Dan Daozi's affirmative reply, Ji Daoyi and Cheng Ke'er bid farewell to Elder Dan Daozi.

No sooner had Ji Daoyi left than Dan Daozi found Palace Master Luo Tian in the blink of an eye.

As he entered the main hall, Dan Daozi called out softly, "Senior Brother!"

"Junior brother, what brings you here? Is there some news from Ji Daoyi?"

"Yes and no."

"tell me the story."

"Ji Daoyi and Ke'er just came to me together. He said that he was kidnapped by Qianmian in the Dan Hall before, and it was even taught by Lianhua that he was kidnapped."

"However, some things changed along the way. Originally, Ji Daoyi was supposed to be handed over to the Lotus Sect, but somehow he was rescued and brought back to Dancheng. He was afraid of being captured again, so he came to me to ask me to help him!"

"Yes, they really went too far in this matter. You're doing this..."

Dan Daozi, having received a signal from his senior brother Luo Tian, ​​also left the main hall.

Soon,

News of the Lotus Sect instigating the Thousand-Faced Gentleman to infiltrate the Pill Hall and kidnap alchemists spread throughout the entire Pill City.

There are even rumors that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman has been doing shady work behind the scenes for the Lotus Sect.

It was also rumored that the Hall Master of the Pill Hall was furious after learning about this incident and demanded an explanation from the Lotus Sect, otherwise he would terminate all cooperation between the Pill Hall and the Lotus Sect.

In no time, news about the Lotus Sect and the Thousand-Faced Gentleman spread like wildfire throughout Dan City.

Even those sacred lands that had been harmed by the Thousand-Faced Gentleman in the past stood up and demanded that Lotus give them an explanation!

Not long after the demon and the thousand-faced gentleman entered Dan City, she also heard the news!

"It's over, it's really over this time! It's all your fault, you couldn't even handle arresting someone properly!"

"Tell me, how did they know we were the ones who contacted you to arrest Ji Daoyi?"
