775: Offer a helping hand

Inside the room, Ji Wuchang took off his bamboo hat, revealing his face that looked around forty years old.

He looked at Jinchun, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, his brow slightly furrowed.

The latter was severely injured, the spiritual energy within her body was almost exhausted, and her face was as pale as paper!

If his guess was correct, her Meridians should also be injured!

"Young Master Ji, I apologize. We failed to complete your task and were discovered by them!"

Jinchun smiled slightly, though the smile was filled with a trace of bitterness!

Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly, then he spoke: "What exactly happened? What occurred?"

Jinchun glanced at Jinqiu and Jindong, seeing their wary looks towards Ji Wuchang, and couldn't help but say with a smile:

"You two sisters, please step outside for a moment. I have something to discuss with Young Master Ji!"

"With his methods, if he wanted to kill us, do you think you could stop him?"

Upon hearing this, Jinqiu and Jindong nodded slightly, and their expressions relaxed.

After the two left, Jinchun slowly began to speak: "Young Master Ji, originally everything was normal; we didn't reveal any flaws."

"But I forgot one thing: Jinxia has a biological sister who is also in the Spark Organization."

"Although the relationship between the two sisters is ordinary, even to the point of not speaking, Jinxia could never let her go!"

"So, Jinxia secretly leaked some information to her sister, and her sister immediately reported it to the Fourth Elder!"

"If 'Spark' hadn't been away at the time, all four of us would have perished."

"In a way, we owe our survival to you, Young Master Ji, for drawing away most of the organization's powerful members."

"But the Fourth Elder is formidable, far surpassing the Third Elder. We don't know when she broke through to the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but we were no match for her."

"In the end, Jinxia self-destructed to buy us some time, and the three of us managed to escape."

"To be honest, the reason we came here is because I guessed you would inevitably come to Snow River City, since the Ice Snow Sect has a teleportation array leading to Luohe Province!"

After finishing, Jinchun coughed violently, her face growing even paler.

Upon hearing her words, Ji Wuchang could roughly understand the course of events.

No wonder Jinxia was not seen; it turned out she was already dead.

He didn't feel it was his place to judge Jinxia's actions. She hadn't really done anything wrong; she had just done what a normal person would do.

As for whether it was foolish, she had already paid the price!

"What about the Spark Organization? They must hate me to the bone by now, right?"

Ji Wuchang spoke with a smile, trying to keep the topic somewhat light.

Upon hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Jinchun thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Hating you to the bone is a given!"

"However, I heard the Fourth Elder mention that compared to killing you, they prefer to capture you alive. It seems someone higher up said so."

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang's eyes narrowed slightly. He instantly thought of that Supreme Xiong Long.

He felt like he had a conflict with Supremes. Back when he was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was targeted by a Supreme from the Demonic Paths First Hall.

Later, when he reached Changhe Province, he provoked several more Supremes.

Now, he had only been in Mang Province for a short time, at most a month or two, and was already targeted by a Supreme again.

He seemed inherently at odds with Supremes; it was truly a headache.

But precisely because of this, the tightly strung string in his heart had never loosened, driving him to Cultivate desperately.

In truth, the System had been a great help to him in the early stages, but later on, its assistance gradually diminished. He had slowly adapted to improving his cultivation base through his own efforts!

Of course, to be fair, without the System as a cheat tool, he wouldn't have his current cultivation base, nor his current combat strength.

"What are your plans?"

After some thought, Ji Wuchang still asked this question. After all, they had cooperated once; he couldn't just leave directly.

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Jinchun struggled to stand up and cupped her hands in salute to him: "Young Master Ji, we came to Snow River City specifically to ask for your help."

"I believe you must have a way to leave Mang Province. I beg you to take us three sisters along."

"If Young Master Ji requires it, we three sisters can also serve by your side in the future!"

After finishing, Jinchun bowed deeply to Ji Wuchang. She understood clearly that their identities meant few would help them.

As for Ji Wuchang, she was just taking a gamble!

Upon hearing Jinchun's response, Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly, and he fell into contemplation.

"Jinchun, even if I wanted to help you, I might not be able to. After all, having you three by my side would easily draw attention."

Ji Wuchang didn't make excuses; he spoke the truth.

Jinchun was actually quite nervous, fearing Ji Wuchang would flatly refuse.

She understood best the terror of the Dark Night Gate. If they couldn't flee Mang Province quickly, they would undoubtedly die.

"Young Master Ji, I have a method. Once, when I killed someone, I unintentionally obtained a Supreme Weapon!"

"This Supreme Weapon isn't an offensive type; it's a spatial attribute treasure."

"The three of us can enter this Supreme Weapon. You just need to hide it well."

"We've tried it before; we can stay inside this Supreme Weapon for a month without any issues."

"Once we reach Luohe Province, I am willing to give this Supreme Weapon to you as payment!"

Jinchun spoke with a smile; she had prepared for this.

Of course, her decision was quite bold. If Ji Wuchang had any ill intentions towards them, once they entered the Supreme Weapon, their lives and deaths would be in his control.

This kind of decision was not something just anyone could make.

In truth, Jinchun wasn't entirely confident either. She just felt that if he wanted to kill the three of them, it wouldn't be difficult; there was no need for such tricks.

His combat strength was evident; Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, and several Elders had all died by his hand. They had no chance of resisting.

Hearing Jinchun's words, Ji Wuchang's eyes lit up. This method wasn't bad; a month would certainly be enough.

He was also quite interested in the spatial attribute Supreme Weapon she mentioned.

"Alright, we'll do as you say!"

Upon hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Jinchun was overjoyed and quickly bowed deeply to him.

Then she called Jinqiu and Jindong inside. After hearing Jinchun's decision, although they hesitated briefly, they agreed.

At that moment, a special bead appeared in Jinchun's hand, with unique spatial energy swirling on it.

"Young Master Ji, leave a Divine Soul mark on the bead. Soon, you'll be able to control it!"

Jinchun was quite candid, directly erasing her own Divine Soul mark, which made Ji Wuchang view her in a new light.

He didn't refuse. His Divine Soul power surged forth, leaving his own Divine Soul mark in the bead.

Then he nodded to Jinchun and the other two. The bead swelled in the wind, and a suction force emerged, directly pulling the three of them into the bead.

Ji Wuchang stored the bead in his System space, ensuring no one could detect its existence.

Without further delay, he turned and left!
