However, Li Chen quickly reacted. He picked up a cup of wine and loudly said, "Come! Brother Gongsun! Let me toast you! "

Gongsun Jian wasn't stupid and acted as if he had touched a cup with Li Chen.

The two of them purposely raised their voices and then made each other eat. It was just to let the other party know that if they ate these dishes, they would be tricked by the other party.

Seeing that the act was almost done, Li Chen suddenly dropped the cup on the table and said: "Ahh! Brother Gongsun! Why do I feel so dizzy? It can't be that you're drunk, right? "

Gongsun Jian immediately understood Li Chen's meaning and coordinated with him: "That's right, Brother Li! I also feel like I'm drunk! "

"Pa …" Another cup fell onto the ground, followed by the sound of Gongsun Jian collapsing onto the table.

The corner of Li Chen's mouth curved up in a smile before he fell on the table with a thud.

He had been waiting for a long time for the fish outside to catch.

Li Chen closed his eyes, but a strand of his Spiritual Sense came out to sense the changes happening outside.

The people outside were not very patient, and when they heard two dong sounds, someone knocked on the door. Following that, the maid's voice could be heard, "Two gongzis, do you need any help?"

Seeing that there was still no answer, the maid carefully pushed open the door and saw that the two people in the room were already unconscious on the chairs. She heaved a sigh of relief and waved them over.

Li Chen watched the scene in front of him with his eyes and felt a little curious. Just who was behind this person that could make the people in this restaurant drug his food and make him lose consciousness?

Very quickly, four people came and picked up Gongsun Jian and Li Chen.

Li Chen and Gongsun Jian pretended to be unconscious, wanting to see what the other party was up to.

In next to no time, the restaurant staff lifted them up onto a horse carriage from the back door.

Li Chen looked at the symbol "Punishment" on the carriage in surprise!

Could it be that the people from the Punishment King's Manor wanted to deal with them?

Even though Li Chen and the others were being carried onto the carriage, they were still paying attention to what was happening below. The two men were talking to each other.

One of the people in charge said, "We'll be troubling you this time, Manager."

The middle-aged man in embroidered clothing laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he said, "For the sake of the king, there is no need for the steward to say anything about thanking you."

Hearing this, the man called the butler also laughed: "Well said, we are both working for the prince, but these two brats are quite daring! Everyone in the Imperial City knew that this delicacy workshop was the place of the Punishment King! You actually took the initiative to come here to eat! "

When Li Chen heard this, he immediately understood. So this delicacy shop was actually the territory of the Punishment King. He and Gongsun Jian had foolishly come here to eat. Wasn't this just a typical lamb entering a tiger's mouth?

The two of them bickered for a long time before the shopkeeper said, "Head Steward, you should go back!" It's not good to make Prince and the others worry! "

After that, there was no sound, and the horse's hooves began to clatter.

Li Chen felt that they had only walked for a few minutes before the carriage came to a stop again. In order to confuse the other party that he was really unconscious, Li Chen and Gongsun Jian were forced to lie in the carriage without moving at all.

Very quickly, someone else carried them both down the mountain.

Li Chen had probably arrived at the Punishment King's Manor.

He actually dared to forcefully kidnap him and Gongsun Jian. Although the Punishment King had done this in secret, Gongsun Jian had brought an expert here. If they really investigated, they would find out that Gongsun Jian's disappearance was related to the Punishment King. Was he not afraid of Gongsun Jian's revenge?

However, it was obvious that Li Chen was overthinking it.

When Li Chen and Gongsun Jian were carried to the same room, Li Chen could clearly feel the aura of evil in the air.

"Hahaha!" As expected of two little kids with decent strength! " An old man's voice rang out. However, no matter how one listened to it, they would feel uncomfortable. After seeing Li Chen and Gongsun Jian, the old man circled around the two of them. He was unable to conceal his excitement.

"Elder Nangong, it's good as long as you're satisfied!" The Punishment King's voice was full of respect.

Li Chen who was at the side did not know who Elder Nan Gong was referring to, but Gongsun Jian knew a little. He was a bit surprised as he thought, didn't the Nangong family die? Where did Elder Nangong come from?

According to Gongsun Jian's knowledge, the Nangong family used to be an ordinary third-rate family. In the end, their strength became more and more powerful, and they were actually at the level of second-rate families and above.

The Nangong Family relied on absorbing the blood essence of martial artists to cultivate, thus they had developed quickly.

At that time, the hidden aristocratic families were very angry, and the result was that the hidden aristocratic families had jointly attacked the Nangong family. They remembered that the hidden aristocratic families had spent a lot of money to finally get rid of the tumor.

Based on the feeling and the words from the person in front of him, Gongsun Jian was almost certain that the person in front of him was from the Nangong Clan.

This was not a good news, Gongsun Jian was a bit anxious. It seemed that there were still survivors from the Nangong Family, and they were even hidden in the mortal world. With such a large population, he relied on absorbing human blood to cultivate. If they secretly targeted any hidden aristocratic families, they might not even be able to withstand it!

As he thought this, Gongsun Jian's mood became even heavier.

Although Li Chen did not know the identity of the old man, he also knew that he was definitely not a good person. Since the Punishment King had found such a person as a backer, he must have long been mentally preparing for something.

The Punishment King originally wanted to send Li Chen and Gongsun Jian to Nangong Jue's room, but upon thinking that Gongsun Jian still had two experts accompanying him, he hesitated for a moment before bringing Gongsun Jian away.

Nan Gong Jue snorted, "I know what you're thinking! However, he was worried about the revenge from the Gongsun family! Humph! With me here, what are you afraid of! "

Being told about the central matter by Nangong Jue, the Punishment King was somewhat puzzled, but he changed his mind and explained, "I was just afraid of alerting the enemy and letting those people from the hidden families know about your whereabouts! Right now, your cultivation technique has not reached the level of perfection. If you were to be discovered by that group of people, I'm worried that it will ruin your business! "

Hearing the Punishment King say this, Nangong Jue thought that this made sense, so he waved his hand. Although there was no more Gongsun Jian, there was still Li Chen in front of him.

This kid's aptitude seems to be pretty good as well!

In fact, it had been a long time since Nangong Jue had met such a talented person's blood essence. In order to not attract attention, he had chosen ordinary experts with no background to conceal himself for so many years, until he met the Punishment King and agreed to become his protective talisman. The two of them had to use each other, and only then did the current situation occur.

After Li Chen was taken away, Gongsun Jian was actually very anxious. However, he knew that he would not be in any danger for the time being. He could only pray that Li Chen could escape this calamity while he hurried to report it to his family.

Indeed, the Punishment King did not dare to touch Gongsun Jian. He only sent two Martial Ancestor Realm experts to guard Gongsun Jian. As for Li Chen, he was not so lucky. He was sent straight to Nangong Jue's room.

Furthermore, the Punishment King had discussed with Nangong Jue and told him not to kill Li Chen at once. Instead, he would release Li Chen when he was half dead.

He hadn't even had the chance to give his son a chance to recover! How could he be willing to let Li Chen die so early!

It had to be said that the Punishment King's plans came at a good time!

However, it was not certain whether he would be able to do as he wished!

Li Chen actually wanted to run away, but he had always wanted to find a suitable time.

That old man's strength was truly too terrifying.

Li Chen even thought about how many people's blood essence he had absorbed in order to cultivate to such an extent!

Li Chen didn't know whether it was because the other person was too careless or because he felt that victory was already in his grasp and he didn't seal his own spirit energy at the start.

In reality, the only reason the Punishment King did not do that was because he truly believed that Li Chen had been stunned senseless by his poison! He was very confident in his poison. No matter what expert he was, he wouldn't be able to recover automatically after absorbing it! Without the antidote, he could only be a cripple.

The smell in the room made Li Chen feel uncomfortable. When Li Chen brought him to his room, the first thing he thought of was to run away.

However, the door was suddenly opened by someone. Li Chen could only continue pretending to be asleep. Nangong Jue seemed to be in a good mood as he walked in, humming an unknown tune.

After entering, Nangong Jue went straight for Li Chen. The greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed!

He moved closer to Li Chen and sniffed with all his might as he praised, "This is top-grade blood essence! "After I completely refine it, my strength will definitely advance once more!"

Li Chen only felt goosebumps all over his body. This old fart's evil aura was too strong!

Nangong Jue naturally did not know that Li Chen was still awake. He ripped open the clothes on Li Chen's chest. The so-called blood essence was naturally from the blood vessels near his heart!

He was already planning on how he should bite it. Or perhaps, he could open a hole and find a container to fill it up, slowly eating it in the future!

Just imagining such a wonderful taste made Nangong Jue feel a little smug!

Li Chen was getting a little anxious. Right now, he did not dare to make any unusual movements. Although his strength was very high, the old man in front of him still gave him a lot of pressure!

Nangong Jue couldn't help but smack his lips, but he finally understood that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He sat cross-legged in front of Li Chen. Just as he was about to start cultivating his evil art, someone knocked on the door.

"Elder Nan Gong!" Is Elder Nangong here? " It was the voice of the Punishment King, and it seemed to be very anxious.

Nangong Jue was a bit depressed. Since the Punishment King had personally come, something must have happened.

"What is it?" He had to get out of bed.

In fact, if it wasn't an urgent matter, the Punishment King definitely would not have come looking for Nangong Jue. However, he had just received the news that Gongsun Jian had fled!

When Li Chen heard the conversation between the Punishment King and Nangong Jue, he was overjoyed. Gongsun Jian had escaped. It seemed like this was the best time for him to escape.
