At that moment, Li Fuxiu, Jiang Shi, and the others could no longer concern themselves with the Yin Ling Zhi Jing. Peng Shishan was on the brink of death, his face pale and purple, struggling and letting out painful cries.
“Li Fuxiu, what are we going to do?” Jiang Shi was filled with anxiety.
“Alas, it seems Old Peng won’t make it,” Li Fuxiu shook his head, looking quite helpless.
“Shasha...”
Suddenly, a rustling sound of footsteps crunching on dry leaves approached from afar. It was evident that someone was coming this way.
In the darkness of the night, could there be others in the mountains?
Li Fuxiu, Jiang Shi, and the others tensed up. The two men in black hurriedly put away the Yin Ling Zhi Jing, their expressions becoming serious.
The sudden appearance of someone was not a good sign; it was likely that they were being watched like a mantis stalking a cicada.
As the footsteps grew closer, two indistinct figures emerged from the shadows, gradually revealing their faces.
However, once Jiang Shi recognized who it was, he exclaimed first.
“Jiang Jiewen, what are you doing here?” Jiang Shi was almost at his breaking point; the newcomers were none other than his daughter and Jiang Chen.
Seeing her father’s shocked expression as if his eyes might pop out, Jiang Jiewen quickly said, “Dad, I brought Jiang Chen to help you.”
“Nonsense! Nonsense!” Jiang Shi shouted.
“Dad, please don’t get worked up. Jiang Chen can really help you and save this old gentleman,” Jiang Jiewen glanced at Peng Shishan as she spoke.
“What are you talking about? Do you think this is just child’s play? Get back now; this isn’t a place for you!” Jiang Shi's tone was urgent, filled with concern for his daughter.
Jiang Jiewen felt helpless and could only look at Jiang Chen for support.
Jiang Chen didn’t say much; he walked over to Peng Shishan’s side. Although he didn’t know Peng Shishan personally, he had indeed heard of him through the Peng Family Ancestor and had a decent relationship. He couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die; helping out was merely a small matter for him.
Jiang Chen took out a Lingqi Pill from his possession and administered it to Peng Shishan. The effects of the Lingqi Pill were not limited to merely replenishing Spiritual Energy; it could also detoxify. While true poisons might be unresolvable, this mere python venom could be easily neutralized.
After taking the Lingqi Pill, a green light flickered over Peng Shishan’s body, and his pale complexion gradually returned to normal.
Five minutes later, Peng Shishan was able to stand up. Although he still felt somewhat unwell, it was no longer serious.
“Did you save me? Thank you.” Having danced with death and now alive again, this feeling of rebirth was something only those who had experienced it could truly understand.
“Who are you in the Peng Family?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Uh...” Peng Shishan was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to directly inquire about his background. After all, he was his savior and felt it inappropriate to hide anything. He replied, “My name is Peng Shishan. Many years ago I married into the Peng Family and now manage their affairs in Southeast Province. Do you have any past dealings with my family?”
“I’ve met your Ancestor a few times; I suppose we have some connections,” Jiang Chen casually explained before shifting his gaze toward the two men in black.
The two men in black had been watching from the sidelines, initially indifferent to the young man, Jiang Chen. However, when they saw him casually take out a pill that was so extraordinary, they couldn't help but express their astonishment.
