The gap in realm between the two sides was too great.
In Sun Gu’s hands, Yuan Qingmo was subdued in just three moves and fell to the ground, unable to rise.
Sun Gu clasped his hands with a smile and said, "I have only sealed a few ridian acupoints inside Prince Wei’s body, I hope His Highness won’t mind."
Sun Gu was arrogant and domineering in the Capital City, yet he dared not truly harm Yuan Qingmo.
Even if this prince was just a powerless idle royal, with a low-status mother and not closely tied to the Emperor as siblings, he was, after all, a descendent of Emperor Qian, and matters concerning the Royal Family’s dignity were involved.
No matter what, today they must take the three mbers of the Lu family away.
If Yuan Qingmo insisted on intervening, Sun Gu had no choice but to temporarily restrain him.
This matter, even if it reached the Capital City, the Emperor couldn’t convict him for it.
After all, they were acting on the orders of the Grand Commandant and the decree of the Profound Celestial Sect’s elder to capture the son of the Forr Emperor Wu, who was by no ans an ordinary remnant of the previous dynasty!
Fallen on the ground, Yuan Qingmo looked with a stern face towards the White Tiger Bureau Marshal, Ying Liquan, standing not far away.
Ying Liquan’s eyes were evasive.
Yuan Qingmo’s gaze then shifted to the Cyan Dragon Bureau Marshal Shi Hongzhang, Dugu Di, and others.
These people either slightly lowered their heads or pretended not to see.
Changsun Jing sighed inwardly and persuaded, "Prince Wei, this is indeed not sothing you should interfere with, nor can you manage it."
The onlookers were clear-minded.
In Changsun Jing’s view, Yuwen Dong and Sun Gu represented the two largest forces in Qian Country today, the Yuwen Family and the Profound Celestial Sect.
The person whom these two forces wanted to capture was the son of Emperor Wu, a remnant from the previous dynasty.
Not to ntion Prince Wei, even Emperor Qian had no reason to obstruct them.
Being Prince Wei’s friend could resolve the issue with the Ghost Mother, but not this matter.
Seeing that none of the court officials responded, Yuan Qingmo withdrew his gaze.
Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuan Qingmo moved.
In the next mont, he slowly stood up from the ground.
Every movent was extrely slow.
Inside his body ca a sinister sound of muscles, flesh, and bones rubbing together, as if the bones were crossing and the fascia breaking.
With every movent, Yuan Qingmo’s body shook violently, as if he was enduring imnse pain.
Yet his expression remained emotionless, staring dead at Sun Gu!
A chorus of exclamations arose from the surroundings.
"Prince Wei!"
Ying Liquan’s face changed.
Changsun Ming was so agitated that his face turned red, almost breaking free from Changsun Jing’s grasp.
Chen Tang was greatly moved by this scene.
The chubby old man, when teaching the "Fuyao Technique," once explained about techniques related to acupoints and ridians in martial arts.
Indeed, there were point-sealing techniques, but they were sowhat different from what he had read in books in his previous life.
The human body has a total of three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, and hitting so of them doesn’t an movent is impossible.
Instead, any movent would bring excruciating pain to the acupoint!
The principle is like having your joint held; even a slight struggle causes intense pain in the joint.
If a Lower Grade Martial Artist hits your acupoint, you can rest for a bit and wait for the force to dissipate, then you’ll be back to normal.
But if an Inner Qi Martial Artist hits your acupoint, using inner qi as a needle piercing the acupoint, recovery becos much slower.
If there’s no one to assist from the outside, you can only rely on your own inner qi to break open the acupoint.
If the Qi Needle remains in the acupoint, but you forcibly move, as in Yuan Qingmo’s case, the muscles, bones, and cartilage around several acupoints will all be damaged, and the pain endured is unimaginable!
"I... Ha! Today... I must intervene!"
Yuan Qingmo’s face was pale, his voice trembling; he took a deep breath with each word, yet his tone left no room for doubt.
"To harm Lu Qing, unless... you, you kill !"
Yuan Qingmo said word by word.
Yuwen Dong frowned heavily.
He knew little about this Prince Wei.
At this mont, he truly looked at him with so newfound respect.
"Prince Wei, is this really necessary?"
Changsun Jing shook his head slightly and sighed.
Is it really necessary?
Many who witnessed this scene had the sa thought in their hearts.
Only Yuan Qingmo knew why he had to protect Lu Qing.
Not rely because they were friends.
But also because he had heard of Sun Gu’s reputation.
If Lu Qing fell into Sun Gu’s hands, she would certainly not fare well, even if she reached the Capital City alive, her purity would undoubtedly be defiled.
He did not want to see this happen.
Crack!
A subtle sound ca from within Yuan Qingmo’s body.
Like a bowstring snapping, bones cracking.
The Qi Needle on his acupoint hadn’t dissipated, stuck within, and as he forced himself up, the surrounding muscles and bones started to fracture!
Yuan Qingmo still maintained a blank expression, clenching his teeth, seemingly feeling no pain.
Sun Gu gradually withdrew his smile, for the first ti looking seriously at Yuan Qingmo.
In Sun Gu’s eyes, Yuan Qingmo was originally just a worthless prince.
Who would have thought he was such a ruthless person!
The Lu Family.
Lu Qing had already cried her eyes red.
If not for Madam Lu holding her tightly, she would have rushed out long ago.
Madam Lu sighed lightly within, feeling a bit ashad.
She had thought before that these people might have been brought by Prince Wei.
Even considering capturing Prince Wei as a hostage.
Now thinking back, it was truly the mindset of a villain.
Lu Qianshan, however, appeared rather calm, showing no panic despite the dire situation, with a hint of a satisfying smile.
No matter how, the friends Lu Qing made while traveling in Jianghu are quite good.
At that mont, a figure swiftly passed through the crowd and ca to Yuan Qingmo’s side.
The newcor extended a palm, quickly patting a few places on Yuan Qingmo’s body, dispersing the Qi Needle stuck in his acupoint and ridians, then glanced coldly at Sun Gu.
"Vermilion Bird Bureau Marshal, Lord Zong Zhulan."
Yuwen Dong looked at the newcor, nodded slightly, and greeted.
Zong Zhulan stared at Sun Gu, frowned, and said, "This is Prince Wei, were you careless with your actions?"
"You can’t bla for this."
Sun Gu shrugged slightly, spreading his hands innocently and said, "I just sealed his acupoint and ridians; he insisted on getting up himself."
Though Yuan Qingmo’s acupoints were freed, several of his muscles and bones were severely damaged, already rendering him powerless.
Yuan Qingmo breathed slightly and said, "Lord Zong, no need to worry about ; just keep Lu Qing by your side, don’t let her be taken."
"Lord Zong, this matter is not under Vermilion Bird Bureau’s jurisdiction, is it?"
Yuwen Dong said indifferently.
Zong Zhulan remained silent.
"Lord Zong?"
Yuan Qingmo called out again.
Zong Zhulan still kept silent.
She was following the orders of Emperor Qian, and her mission here was solely to protect Prince Wei; other people truly were not within her responsibilities.
Moreover, that Lu Qing had such a close relationship with the Forr Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty.
If she intervened, she would directly offend the Yuwen Family and the Profound Celestial Sect.
There was really no need to complicate matters further.
Seeing Zong Zhulan say nothing, Yuan Qingmo understood her intention and couldn’t help but show a hint of ridicule.
He was, after all, just an idle prince, with no power or influence; why should anyone help him?
Suddenly!
The table beside the tavern suddenly shattered, and an unexpected change occurred!
