Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"I heard it's because of the Medicine Fairy Society and the missing children in the city."

"There are rumors in the city that the Grand Commander is secretly plotting to achieve immortality and has ordered the Medicine Immortal Society to abduct children in order to refine elixirs."

"Zhu'er, tell me, did the Medicine Immortal Society bewitch the Grand Commander, or did the Grand Commander appoint the Medicine Immortal Society?"

Chapter 49 Liang Tinghao's Cruelty

"Father, how about we distribute these weapons first before discussing this matter?"

Hearing Zhao's father's words, Jingming blinked, then pointed to the two mule carts at the door and said.

These two mule carts were fully loaded, carrying nearly a hundred guns.

The firearms that could support a small battle here, even if they were only from the period after Xuantong and before the Republic of China.

That's enough to make those Quanxing people cry for their parents.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

The people of Quanxing are basically practitioners.

Everyone has different methods. In the complex alleys, using bizarre methods to deal with ordinary people is simply overwhelming.

However, Jingming did not require his people to be able to charge into battle and fight against the Quanxing people.

Just stay in the courtyard, away from the wall.

As for Quanxing, I'll just leave him to kill.

"it is good."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father nodded slightly, then instructed Qian Tong, who was standing nearby, to bring two mule carts into the Zhao family garden to distribute the weapons.

Some of these people were those who had traveled all over the country with Zhao's father, and they still had some courage to carry guns.

"Yes, Father, let's go back to the house first."

After giving a slight bow to Qian Tong beside him, Jingming took Zhao's father's arm and walked into the garden.

"Dad, the two questions you just asked are no different."

Inside the pavilion in the courtyard, Jingming faced Zhao's father and spoke like a little adult.

"You have witnessed the strangeness of cultivators."

"They have all sorts of ways to take a person's life, and they also have all sorts of ways to control a person's life."

"So, is the Grand Commander truly beyond saving?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father turned pale and said somewhat absentmindedly.

His relationship with Governor Sun was genuinely good.

Sun, the governor, was the one who fully supported him in establishing himself in Fuzhou.

"do not know."

Seeing the heartbroken look on Zhao's father's face, Jingming shook his head slightly and said softly.

"We do not know the specific methods of the Medicine Immortal Society's president, nor do we know the Grand Commander's true thoughts."

"And even if we could remove the body from the Grand Commander's body..."

“According to the law, the Grand Commander is not having an easy time either.”

Jingming spoke slowly.

The Grand General's Mansion is besieged?

Jingming knew perfectly well that the people surrounding the Grand Commander's Mansion were not the peasants who toiled in the fields.

In chaotic times, no one cares about their lives.

Those who surrounded the Grand Commander's Mansion were most likely powerful families from within the city.

"Father, have there been any more missing children in Fuzhou these past few days?"

After a moment of silence, Jingming asked again softly.

"Yes, just yesterday, more than ten children went missing overnight in Fuzhou."

"The youngest of them were infants."

Mr. Zhao nodded and said softly.

"These people really deserve to die."

Jingming frowned and mentally sentenced these people to death.

Whether it's the Medicine Immortal Society or the Quanxing Society.

"What did the Grand Commander say?"

Jingming raised his head and looked at Zhao's father.

"I asked, and the Grand Commander also expressed his deep sorrow and ordered the troops outside the city to enter the city and begin searching Fuzhou."

"That's what Zhao's father said slowly."

"Are any members of the Medicine Immortal Society near the Grand Commander?"

Jingming asked a question, and he was referring to Wu Wei, the president of the Medicine Immortal Association.

"did not see."

"The Grand Commander has issued a warrant for the arrest of this treacherous villain."

Mr. Zhao answered truthfully.

This is also why he doesn't believe the Grand Commander was involved in this matter.

As well-read people, most would not condone such evil practices as killing people to make elixirs.

"Is this president of the Medicine Immortal Association going to fall here?"

Upon hearing Zhao's father's words, Jingming's eyes narrowed slightly.

That makes sense, though. The Three Corpses are a problem that almost no cultivator, past or present, in China or abroad, can solve.

There is no other way to combat the Three Corpses except through sufficient mental discipline.

Even for myself, it was merely a clever trick to avoid the negative effects of the Three Corpses by turning them into "sewage" through "entering a meditative state".

As for the president of the Medicine Immortal Society, different people have different fates. He really couldn't imagine whether Wu Wei could get through this or what method he would use.

"Father, it doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that we simply don't have the ability to solve the problems facing the Grand Commander."

Jingming shook his head.

As Jingming finished speaking, Zhao's father's face paled even more.

"Father, do you remember the first time we visited the Grand Commander after we entered the city?"

"After the Grand Commander grasped the Tiger's Might Bone, he immediately spat out a mouthful of filth."

"But even so, the Grand Commander's trust in the president of the Medicine Immortal Society did not diminish much."

"Moreover, so much time has passed, the president of the Medicine Immortal Society has probably destroyed that Tiger Might Bone, or he has tried to find ways to prevent that Tiger Might Bone from harming the Grand Commander again."

Thinking of this, Jingming's heart trembled slightly.

If, just if.

The president of the Medicine Immortal Society has found a way to cure the Three Corpse Poison and has tacitly approved Governor Sun's delivery of these weapons.

So, could there be a problem with these weapons?

He wanted the Medicine Immortal Society to fight against the shrew and clam of the Quanxing Sect so he could reap the benefits.

That's roughly the same idea they had.

"Dad, how many usable tools do we have at home?"

Jingming's expression turned serious, and he immediately asked.

"Not many, just ten guns."

A look of doubt flashed across Zhao's father's face, wondering why Jingming asked such a question.

"in case."

Jingming spoke softly, answering the question on Zhao's father's face.

"Father, let's put people on guard now."

"Let's set aside whether the Grand Commander can be of any help this time."

"Even if the Grand Commander wasn't controlled by the Medicine Immortal Society, he wouldn't be able to come and help."

"The disappearance of children in the city didn't start just in the last day or two."

"Now it's the children of the powerful and wealthy who are going missing."
