Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi supported the Old Man on either side, urgency in their voices. "Father, we should leave quickly. We can explain everything when we get back."
The Old Man, however, was resolute. "I won't go. You two need to return. Do you even know what you're doing?" His face displayed a mix of disappointment and anger. "You are attempting a jailbreak! This could cost you your lives."
At that moment, one of the officials who had been brought out spoke up. "Fu Daren, being taken out like this feels ominous. Shouldn't we escape while we can?"
"Yes," another added. "I heard the last group of officials disappeared without a trace."
"I’m not afraid of death," one of them said, "but dying for no reason is something I cannot accept."
As the murmurs continued, Fu Shoufu's expression darkened. "We cannot leave. If we do, we'll be branded as fugitives."
Everyone exchanged glances, falling into silence.
Suddenly, Nie Xiaoqian exclaimed, "No! Sister Fu, you must leave now! That old monk is formidable!"
Everyone turned to see an old monk standing ahead, surrounded by fallen bodies. Two beams of golden light swirled rapidly around him, producing a series of sharp metallic sounds.
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er paled slightly; they had used all their strength but were unable to overcome the old monk.
"Jian Wan? You have such things?" Pu Du Ci Hang suddenly spoke up.
With a flash of Buddhist light from his hand, he waved it dismissively, sending two Jian Wan flying away with a loud bang.
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er let out muffled groans as their bodies swayed unsteadily.
Fu Qingfeng gasped in shock. "Sister Nie! Sister Qin!" She hurried over to them.
Pu Du Ci Hang retracted his hand and looked at Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er with a glint of greed in his eyes.
"Amitabha," he said with a benevolent expression. "You should surrender peacefully and come with me."
Fu Shoufu stepped forward quickly. "National Master, we will go with you; just let them go. They are young and reckless—please show mercy."
Pu Du Ci Hang glanced at Fu Shoufu and then said, "The others may leave, but these two must stay." He pointed at Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er.
Fu Qingfeng's expression changed immediately. "No way! They are just here to help us; they have nothing to do with this. If you want to capture someone, take us instead."
Fu Shoufu looked at Nie Xiaoqian and her companion. Upon seeing Nie Xiaoqian's appearance, he was momentarily taken aback. "You are Nie Rong's daughter."
Nie Xiaoqian was startled for a moment but nodded in acknowledgment.
Fu Shoufu turned to Pu Du Ci Hang and said in a deep voice, "National Master, let them go."
Pu Du Ci Hang shot him a glance. "You can't even protect yourself, yet you still worry about others." With that, he ignored him and reached out towards Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er. "Come here."
A tremendous force emanated from Pu Du Ci Hang's right hand.
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er screamed as they were pulled toward him.
Fu Qingfeng was still in shock, standing there dumbfounded.
Qin Wan'er, frightened, instinctively called out, "Brother!"
Suddenly, a figure descended from above, blocking the path of Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er, causing the pulling force to vanish instantly.
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er halted mid-air and landed on the ground.
Pu Du Ci Hang's expression shifted. "It's you! How come you're still here?"
Black Python looked at Pu Du Ci Hang and declared, "I want them. Do you have any objections?"
Pu Du Ci Hang's face darkened. "Do you really think I am afraid of you?"
