Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 306 Some Trouble (Part [-])
In the darkness, Wu Chen clearly confirmed the positions of the adults and the children. While Xing Yun's people retreated and the other party stood still without hesitation, he swung two palms one after another. The adults all fell down, but the children were still standing there, but they didn't move anymore, like a puppet breaking the rope holding them.

Wu Chen strode forward, Xing Yun shouted behind him: "Don't be soft-hearted, they are not children!"

After Xing Yun's reminder, Wu Chen turned around and asked, "Who is carrying Li Yi's blood?"

Xing Yun untied the wine naan from his waist.

Wu Chen walked over and asked, "Did you drain Li Yi's blood?"

"That's how much!" Xing Yun handed it to Wu Chen, and said seriously, "It's not that I won't let you save them. These children are not like Yuan Niang. They have been protected by Yu Shi'an all their lives. Even if they are saved by you, they will be disgusted by others for the rest of their lives..."

"I know!" Wu Chen took the wine pan and said, "Saving them is to make me feel better. If I can't save them, I won't soften my heart. If they can be saved, they will follow me, and I will take care of them in the future."

"You support, you, you..." Xing Yun didn't know what to say.

Wu Chen had already turned around. He didn't hurry to go to the standing children, but walked to the adults who had fallen to the ground. These people were already out of breath, but one of them opened his mouth. Wu Chen found a branch at the side, and picked out a green oval shape like a whistle from the mouth.

Wu Chen squatted down to look at it, then looked up at the standing child, and heaved a long sigh.

Seeing that the children didn't move any more, Xing Yun came over and squatted beside Wu Chen and asked in a low voice, "Can we still save them?"

"These talented people can't hide from my strength, but their children are still standing, and some of them have broken arms... Tell me, can they still be saved?"

"what for?"

Wu Chen pointed to the whistle on the ground, and said, "When Yuan Niang is not ill, she is herself. After she is ill, she is a resentful soul, but she can answer me without anyone's manipulation. But there is such a thing in this mouth, which shows that these children have no chance to be themselves."

"Still don't understand."

Wu Chen turned to look at Xing Yun, stood up and said in a low voice, "The officials asked me to be the prince's teacher."

"You agreed?" Xing Yun also stood up and asked nervously.

"What can I do? Have any of your people been seriously injured?" Wu Chen glanced at Xing Yun's injuries.

Xing Yun nodded and said: "These adults are good at martial arts, it's too dark, I didn't notice when those children got out of the carriage, and when I heard the movement...it was already too late, we have to fight these people, but also prevent the children from getting close, it is inevitable that they will be distracted, and it is normal for them to be injured."

Wu Chen looked around, walked up to the children one by one to have a closer look, then turned around and walked to the guards who had withdrawn to the edge of the woods to have a closer look.

Xing Yun was puzzled, followed Wu Chen and asked, "What are you doing? Can those children be saved?"

Wu Chen handed the wine naan to Xing Yun and said:
"It's the most terrible thing if you can't save them. You give them Li Yi's blood and ask them to smear some on themselves. Those children are already dead, but I didn't see their souls, nor did I see the light beams coming to pick them up, nor did I see the resentful souls in their bodies. Maybe those children are already dead... No matter what, I will find a way to release the souls in the children's bodies, including those resentful souls. Their souls may go to weak people. That would be troublesome. No matter how fast I react, some people will die .”

Xing Yun half-understood what he heard, but he still took the wine naan and smeared some on himself, and then passed it to another guard. These guards had heard Wu Chen's words, and they were so frightened tonight. At this moment, no one could speak, and only smeared according to Xing Yun's movements.

Xing Yun asked Wu Chen in a low voice: "What did you mean just now, although the child is dead, the soul may still be in the body?"

Wu Chen squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "If that's the case, there should be something on them that prevents their souls from coming out. It's normal for people's souls to leave their bodies after death. It's a different thing from resentful souls... What can stop the souls from leaving?"

"There are no talismans, so it can't be five-color jade?"

Xing Yun just said it casually, but Wu Chen strode towards the child and told him, "Don't follow, if they start to move suddenly, I can't save you."

Xing Yun asked worriedly: "What about you?"

"They can't move me!"

……

Xing Yun really didn't come forward, he watched Wu Chen search one by one first, took something and put it on his body, those children seemed to come to life one by one, what Wu Chen said to them, Xing Yun couldn't hear them from a distance, his heart slipped in his throat, he wanted to remind Wu Chen that they were too close, but he couldn't make a sound, suddenly, two children overwhelmed themselves and attacked Wu Chen, Wu Chen waved his hands, the two children were blown away, and Wu Chen also flew up. In the air, he hugged the two of them, and then landed gently.

Xing Yun was dumbfounded.

Wu Chen put the two children away, and then put back the things he had just taken from the children one by one in an extremely fast manner, and then fell to the ground immediately after.

Xing Yun panicked. He made sure that the children hadn't moved, so he ran over. When he ran in front of Wu Chen, Wu Chen suddenly stood up, which surprised Xing Yun.

"You, are you alright?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, the children have left, but I have to collect those resentful spirits first, and they can leave after Li Yi is tortured."

"You mean..."

"This time you have done meritorious service. They did bring five-color jade, cut into small pieces of jade, without spells, and there was a big one in the car, as well as some books and magical artifacts. I guess they broke the boat and brought their family to the capital. This is what the children told me. They were imprisoned in the body together with the resentful soul, which was very painful. Fortunately, these children still kept their promises. They left after I imprisoned the resentful soul. After leaving, these resentful souls tore me apart."

"So, when you took the jade, the souls of those children left their bodies? Only the resentful ones are left? If you put them back, the resentful souls will not move?" Xing Yun's tone was a little trembling.

"I haven't figured out the function of the five-color jade stone yet... You go and get Li Yi's blood. They won't leave the children's bodies. I have to get them out. Now I finally know the difference between Yuanniang and these children. Yuanniang doesn't have five-color jade on her body, and Yuanniang is still alive, so the resentful spirit doesn't completely control Yuanniang's body. Li Yi still doesn't dare to let Yuanniang die. Who is the resentful spirit to blame? It is Li Yi. Once the resentful spirit takes control of Yuanniang's body, the first person to look for is Li Yi!"
