Chapter 1398 Thirty Deadly Meridians
Knowing that Kang Shouyun and the others were watching, Dong Guan frowned, but then mustered his courage and demanded, "Who are you, daring to come and displease me?"

Qi Zheng glared at him angrily, then snorted coldly before saying, "Zhao Yan Qi Zheng, I've come here because of the Wan family's lost horse. Official Dong, you first used a scheme to forcibly seize the Wan family's precious horse, and then you murdered two of their clansmen in the street. The evidence is irrefutable. How dare you be so arrogant here? Come with me first!"

He's actually a disciple of Zhaoyan!
Dong Guan's face turned ashen, as if struck by lightning. He staggered back several steps, overwhelmed by fear, and cried out in alarm, "Nonsense! When did it become your business to meddle in the affairs of this city? I... I need to go and fetch my ancestor. No one is going to take me away until I see my ancestor!"

In the past few days, when he interacted with Kang Shouyun and others, he often saw a worried look on their faces. When he asked, he learned that after the leader of the Great Dao, Zhao Chun, led his disciples into the city, these young masters from noble families had been instructed by their families to be more cautious and not to compete with the disciples of Zhao Yan unless necessary.

Furthermore, it is said that the disciples of this sect are used to being arrogant and will take people's lives at the slightest disagreement.

Upon hearing this, Dong Guan was naturally terrified for several days. However, having been suppressed by the scions of aristocratic families in the past, he had only recently been able to become more arrogant. So, not long after, he put the matter out of his mind and acted recklessly, even believing that the leader of the Great Dao had truly come for the sake of the Heavenly Human Sect.

Seeing Qi Zheng today reminded him of what Kang Shouyun and the others had said earlier, and he thought that the other party had come to kill him.

"It's the Wan family, no, it's the Jiao family," Dong Guan blurted out, suddenly grasping at a straw, "It must be the Jiao family that gave you benefits, right? I knew it. Jiao Jinxian resented me for stealing his Wanbao Pill, that's why he sent you to kill me. What did he promise you? I'll go back and report to the ancestor, and he can give you anything!"

Qi Zheng stood still, glanced at the few teenagers standing on both sides with their heads down, all of whom looked trembling with fear. When she looked at Dong Guan, her tone became even colder, and she said, "I don't know any Jiao Jinxian. You don't need to bring up anything else. Just tell me if you're willing to come with me or not."

When Dong Guan saw that her aura was fluctuating as she spoke, he immediately knew something was wrong and realized that she was about to take him down.

In a panic, he decided to run away first. He flicked his sleeves down and soared into the air, stepping onto a wisp of turquoise cloud, intending to escape the place.

Qi Zheng wasn't surprised to see him trying to escape. She made a hand seal, and a sharp light flashed behind her, condensing into a gleaming magic sword. She immediately changed direction and slashed at Dong Guan, who was standing on a cloud!

This magical sword was forged from the waters of a thousand pools and refined with her own blood essence. Now, it is as easy to wield as an extension of her own arm, and its sharpness is extraordinary. If Qi Zheng were a sword cultivator, the power of this technique would be even greater. Fortunately, she was only dealing with Dong Guan, and she didn't even need to use her full strength; it was enough to make the opponent suffer.

Dong Guan's aptitude was originally mediocre. To elevate him to his current level, Dong Kuan had to expend countless efforts and use countless rare and precious materials. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had to force it. Therefore, even though Dong Guan had achieved the True Infant cultivation level, he was essentially a paper tiger that couldn't withstand any real beatings. He lacked experience in combat and his foundation was so weak.

Upon seeing the magic sword approaching, he immediately became impatient. He first threw out a few talismans, but seeing that they were not effective, he quickly activated his true essence, making the wispy cloud beneath his feet even faster.

Unfortunately, his foundation was unstable, his magical power was weak, and his speed in using escape techniques was far inferior to Qi Zheng's magical sword. Only a few sharp flashes of light passed by, and the wispy, emerald-green cloud vanished with a deafening roar. Dong Guan screamed and plummeted from mid-air, cold sweat beading on his forehead; he had almost escaped death. He braced himself on the ground with one hand and clutched his robe with the other, activating his internal energy, only to see the precious light on his clothes suddenly dim. The protective spell engraved on his outer garment had been used up; it could save him once, but not a second time!
Qi Zheng's magic sword was still circling in the air. He had already witnessed its power. Thinking of what had just happened, Dong Guan didn't dare to breathe. Seeing that Qi Zheng was about to fly over, he panicked and for a moment forgot everything else. He shouted, "You attacked first, so don't blame me now!"

Qi Zheng's eyes flashed, and she paused slightly. Suddenly, she saw a golden light shining behind Dong Guan, heading straight for her!

Suspecting it was a self-defense technique left to his descendants by the ancestor Dong Kuan, Qi Zheng dared not underestimate it. He leaped up, leaving only a watery afterimage in his original spot. The next moment, golden light struck and instantly tore the afterimage to shreds.

Qi Zheng stared intently and finally realized that the object was actually a golden needle.

Upon hearing Dong Guan's shout, Kang Shouyun and the others sensed something was wrong. As they rushed over, they saw the golden needle piercing towards Qi Zheng. His expression changed, fearing that something might happen to Qi Zheng here and how furious Zhao Yan would be. He quickly shouted to Dong Guan, "Brother Dong, stop immediately! We can discuss this. Why make such a fuss over two mere rock-scaled horses?"

"Stop?" Qi Zheng's eyes narrowed, clearly showing that he had murderous intent. He said in a cold tone, "Official Dong stole a horse and killed someone. He tried to escape but still wanted to fight. Since he doesn't want to admit his guilt, I won't hold back."

After saying that, she channeled her energy and the magic sword that was hanging in the air fell down in response to her words. At the same time, the golden needles also swished around her with a whoosh. Qi Zheng flicked her sleeve and twisted the needles, and the disciples' robes made in the sect were actually cut open by the needles. She was secretly startled and quickly retreated to dodge.

At this moment, the magic sword was already in front of Dong Guan. With a sweep of the sword, a round head fell to the ground.

The golden needle was no easy thing to deal with. Seeing that Dong Guan was dead, it suddenly trembled and then transformed into an incredibly fast golden light, leaping from between Qi Zheng's eyebrows into his skull.

The latter immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to force the object out by mobilizing her magic power. However, after the golden needle entered her body, it instantly turned into countless points of light, sealing all her meridians and even preventing her dantian from circulating.

When Kang Shouyun saw the golden needle pierce Qi Zheng's brow, he felt his vision go black. Although they had set a trap to have Dong Guan captured by Zhao Yan's disciple, they hadn't expected Dong Guan to be so panicked and helpless. After all, Dong Guan could die, but this disciple of Zhao Yan absolutely could not be allowed to die in front of them.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, this thing is called the Meridian-Severing Needle. It is a vicious method left to you by the old ancestor Dong Guan to subdue your enemies. Now that you have been poisoned by this thing, if you do not get rid of it within three days, you will probably lose all your meridians."

Kang Shouyun explained to her in detail that Dong Kuan had long seen that Dong Guan was not good at fighting, and no matter how many self-defense measures he had, he was afraid that they would not be able to protect him. It would be better to leave a contingency plan for revenge, so that even if someone had the intention to kill Dong Guan, they would not get the benefit.
