" Am I also a slave. " This thought was what scared Bai Jie the most. He also has some symbols in his body, even though they are not similar. Bai Jie felt a great crisis because he didn"t know what was different. Bai Jie read through the description of the pill.
The va.s.sal pill is made of three different herbs, two are poisonous and the third acts as a medium between them increasing the overall poisonous effect.
The herbs are heated in a cauldron and heated to mix them then pills are formed.
Bai Jie also read about the mark it was called a single rune formation mark inscribed using a formation talisman.
The pentagon mark was a formation talisman. It binds the essence of pills in a symbol mark and keeps it trapped in the body until it needs to be released. The formation was directly imprinted on the pill.
" This Uncle Lin, Was he a poison master and wasn"t he one of the shadows. How could these people have these pills? " thought Bai Jie. He felt very confused about how these small gangs have these pills to use. By the number of bodies lying here, he a.s.sumed that the pills must be produced in large quant.i.ties.
" Unless the Red Cross Gang is part of them. " Suddenly this thought came into Bai Jie"s mind and his heart suddenly turned cold. He didn"t believe that poison masters were some good samaritans and in The Red Cross Gang, they had another poison Master.
" She also knew about it. " Bai Jie suddenly realized how bad this incomplete information could almost cost him his life. He realized she was hiding something about them.
" Bear this old man"s curse no would marry you. " Bai Jie cursed Su Ling in his heart. He felt very dejected because he knew she might just have believed he was very strong so she might have left the little details. But he didn"t realize she had deliberately left the information.
Bai Jie suddenly closed the book and shook his head and sighed. He wanted to read more but it wasn"t the right time.
" one thing at a time," mumbled Bai Jie. Even though Bai Jie felt very gloomy he knew he had to stop and deal with the Red Cross Gang first it can"t be delayed.
From Su Ling, he realized he had almost become a celebrity in the village. More than 100 people are trying to find him. He wanted to keep a low profile but it has been the complete opposite he became like a star.
" How should I deal with this " mumbled Bai Jie. He knew he had to solve this problem or even if he eliminated the Red Cross Gang, their extermination would also invite more attention towards him.
Currently, he could deal with them but if they were stronger than it would be a disaster. He even felt that Su Ling herself showed killing intent towards him.
" Why would anyone want to kill an honest old man like me? sigh. " Bai Jie mumbled with a dejected expression but it looked very odd on his young face.
" Wait I should just give them what they want. " Bai Jie"s eyes suddenly started shining. He felt light from G.o.d shining upon him. " Hahaha, why didn"t I think of this much earlier? It would solve my problem. "
Bai Jie suddenly laughed out loud. He felt it was such a small issue he just needed to change his perspective.
"I just need to get killed," mumbled Bai Jie with his eyes shining.

IN THE GAMBLING HOUSE.
" hehe aaa " In a lounge room on the upper floor of the gambling house. A man was sitting on a couch while two ladies were feeding him with different kinds of fruits. He opened his large mouth to engulf the whole fruit that was the size of a fist. He smiled towards one of the ladies.
The room was pink colored and beautiful curtains were hanging in the room. The room also had a large bed.
" ohh Young master Du you almost ate my finger. " replied the woman with an awkward smile. She looked at the old and ragged face. " Damm old geezer. " while she thought in her mind.
" You taste sweet too. " replied the Young master Du. He had an obscene laugh on his face. He was wearing a red loose Robe.
Suddenly a crystal beside him started shining. His expression suddenly changed.
" Get out. " said the young master Du suddenly.
Both ladies knew it was for them to leave. They both got up and left the room.
" Milord he is here again. " a male voice came from the crystal. It was a guard outside the gambling house.
" Bring him to me," said Young Master Du. He had a devious look on his face.
After some time a man comes in with an aggressive att.i.tude.
" You cant even find a single kid have you become an idiot Du Bigwen. " the man shouted as soon as he entered the lounge room. His arms were limp and bandaged; they looked crippled.
" Ning Rui one more word you won"t get out of here alive and its Young Master Du for you " replied Du Bigwen with a nonchalant tone.
" You dare threaten the personal guard of the Ning Family. " Ning Rui shouted back with his eyes bloodshot.
" Do you think I won"t know. You have already been thrown out of the Ning Family a cripple as you have no place as a guard, but It was your luck that I have already dealt with others only that kid remains," replied Du Bigwen nonchalantly.
Hearing Du Bigwen, Ning Rui felt his soul leaving his body.
" if you knew why you still did " Ning Rui couldn"t complete his sentence, he mumbled in a ghastly tone.
After he was crippled by Bao Shen, Ning Xie had thrown him out of the family saying that he was of no use.
Ning Rui had worked very hard for the Ning family his whole life. But he was thrown away like an injured old dog who doesn"t even have any more use. He felt the unspeakable rage inside him but couldn"t vent it. Because he couldn"t offend any of the people involved he couldn"t retaliate against Han Bing or Ning Family nor the Bao Family.
" You already lied to me that it was a job from young master Xie but it was just you losing your mind isn"t it " Du Bigwen spoke in a calm manner.
" if you knew why you still do it. " Ning Rui felt deflated he was using Ning family as his background to order Du Bigwen.
" Someone wanted him disappeared not to capture him like you and the price is also better. " Du Bigwen replied in a nonchalant tone.
" Nooo, I want that kid alive, it"s all his fault I want to cripple his arms like mine and to suffer for his whole life," shouted Ning Rui. He almost looked like a beast. Bao Shen had directly crippled Ning Rui"s arms. He begged the young master Xie to give him Bone mending pill but he was rejected directly.
" You are not worth it. " this was the reply he got from Ning Xie.
He felt a very deep hatred for Bai Jie and those accursed kids. They were the source of his all misfortune.
" Well you don"t have a say anymore " Du Bigwen whistled and two fourth stage cultivators got in. " Take this dog and put an end to his pitiful life. "
" Du Bigwen I have the money even though it"s not the Young Master Xie himself I will double the price no triple the price." Ning Rui tried to bargain again; it was also for his own life. He knew things just spiraled out his hands.
" You tried to trick me " Du Bigwen smiled, his wrinkled face stretched up looked very scary.
" No don"t do this " Ning Rui was dragged out by two cultivators he tried to resist but nothing worked with his crippled arms; his resistance was futile.
" Gu Ji " Du Bigwen shouted.
A middle-aged man came in through the door. He looked very domineering with a large club on his back. It was a metal club with spikes on it.
" Young Master Du, it"s Wu Ji " replied the middle-aged man. But the expression on his face remained the same.
" Whatever it is, did you find the kid, what the Head Hunter is doing, why he isn"t here," asked Du Bigwen with an angry tone. The new contract he got was the young man to be killed like others and the price was also great.
" He went back to his residence saying he needed something done but he asked that money to be delivered at his residence," replied Wu Ji without a hint of emotions.
" What money, those kids were just a useless endeavor. It was a scam " Du Bigwen got angry because it was a waste of effort from his men and he has to still pay for it.
" As for the young man our people are still searching for him. We have killed some villagers to threaten others if someone is hiding him from us. Young Master Du did someone really offer a gold coin for a mortal to be killed. " This time Wu Ji"s expression changed as well.
" Hehe, even I didn"t believe it when that person contacted me it was also an advance payment." Replied Du Bigwen. He grabbed something from the sleeve of his robes. It was Gold coin and the coin had words inscribed on it.
" Sect Alliance. "
" This is the first time in my life I saw a gold coin even if I have 1000 silver without a high influence. I can"t get a gold coin of sect alliance," spoke Du Bigwen with an ecstatic expression for a small Gang like his it was a great fortune.
Suddenly another man barged in.
"Young master Du our people have found the young man. " the newcomer was a teenager with a guard outfit.
" hahaha, heavens are looking out for me. " Du Bigwen suddenly laughed ecstatically. " Send everyone after him he must not escape. "
