Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 295 - 158 Brahma Flower Blooms, Saint King Returns (Part 1)_2
The corridor was narrow, and Ji Jingqiu did not want to disturb the neighbors, so in a flash, he released the nascent form of his Dao Body, took down his opponents in a few exchanges, and placed his hand on the shoulders of the two men.
The two Divine Travel Warriors only felt their blood and Qi come to a standstill at that moment, pinned down by some force, rendering them incapable of moving, their hearts filled with dread.
He said calmly, "You're too weak. Stand down."
The two Divine Travel Warriors gave a wry smile. Their Martial Foundations were only Mid-grade Cultivation Bodies, whereas for Ji Jingqiu, even Dao Body Perfection of the Superior level was merely the tip of the iceberg...
Gao Cheng frowned and glanced at the two martial artists, then turned to look at the elder behind him:
"Elder Gu, please take care of this."
But the elder was looking solemnly at Hong Hu behind Ji Jingqiu, and said:
"This young man isn't a Daoist, is he? Dragon Tiger Dojo is so wealthy, they assigned a Heart Image Warrior to guard him personally?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng was once again taken aback and did not respond for a long time.
He had indeed won the bet and cornered Ji Jingqiu here, but he hadn't expected Dragon Tiger Dojo to value Ji Jingqiu to such an extent.
Having a Heart Image Warrior accompany him was a treatment not even the directors of the Federation's first-rate powers would get!
"You are too far behind with your information," Hong Hu said evenly, offering no further explanation, but imperatively added, "The matter today will be visited by the Heavenly Person of Dragon Tiger Dojo at your company to discuss compensation."
The elder's expression changed drastically. He wanted to argue but ended up giving a bitter smile, his expression desolate.
If they succeeded in this matter, even if Dragon Tiger Dojo caused trouble afterward, or even if the Federation held them accountable, they could disregard it. Compared to what they could gain from Ji Jingqiu, what they would lose was nothing.
Moreover, if the secrets Ji Jingqiu held had some kind of resonant effect with their years of research, allowing them to find a solution for Evil Poison Disease, then even the official Federation would have to give way!
The value inherent in the gene editing project was unimaginably vast!
But now that their plan had been exposed, naturally, a corresponding price had to be paid.
Gao Cheng suddenly said, "Whatever, it's not like we have anything to offer anyway."
Hong Hu glanced at this young fellow who was recklessly playing with fire, his smile devoid of warmth as he said lightly:
"The dojo doesn't want wealth, but attitude."
"For instance, you'll be the first to die."
"Since the Gao Family is so reckless, then let it end with you."
Gao Cheng immediately fell silent.
It was clear that Dragon Tiger Dojo intended to make an example out of them.
The elder in the Chains Realm spoke gravely, "Swap someone else, I'll die, and he lives. How about that?"
Hong Hu remained silent, his gaze shifting to Ji Jingqiu.
The elder immediately understood that the key to this matter still rested with Ji Jingqiu.
Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked, "I want to know, how did you learn about my affliction with Evil Poison Disease?"
This was something he had never publicized, and it had not spread under the suppression of Master Yang and certain others.
Gao Cheng did not hide the truth, saying bluntly, "Over three months ago, Jia Weiting of Divine Power Group told us."
Ji Jingqiu nodded. He was not in a hurry to confront this person, yet this person had taken the initiative to trouble him.
Three months ago...
That was right after he had begun to make a name for himself.
It seemed that the events of the past were indeed suspicious, making that person so anxious.
But his own rise had exceeded the expectations of that person, as well as Gao Cheng and others, rendering all their schemes and calculations vain.
"Was it you all who ransacked my home?"
Gao Cheng nodded dully.
"My parents did indeed come up with a prescription that could suppress the Evil Poison Disease," Ji Jingqiu suddenly said softly.
Gao Cheng looked up sharply, his eyes once again lighting up with excitement.
"But they seem to have disappeared under Jia Weiting's interference, and I suspect some of their research data also fell into Professor Jia's hands."
Gao Cheng licked his lips, suddenly understanding the previously incomprehensible connections.
"Do you want us to act, to capture that man and interrogate him?"
As Gao Cheng said this, he glanced at Hong Hu behind Ji Jingqiu, somewhat guessing Ji Jingqiu's intentions.
Although Professor Jia Weiting had a bad reputation, his network was quite robust, and with the support of Divine Power Group behind him, Dragon Tiger Dojo could not openly act against him. The Federation also had its rules and treated all forces equitably, not allowing any top power to act recklessly.
Such dirty work was naturally suited for them to carry out...
"I was planning to look for him later, but it seems he can't wait," said Ji Jingqiu. "You go and capture him for me, then extract all his secrets. If the information you obtain satisfies me, I may consider giving you the prescription."
Gao Cheng hesitated, then asked, "Can't you tell me what the real source of Evil Poison Disease is?"
Ji Jingqiu replied indifferently, "If I tell you, then the Gao Family will truly be finished. Do you really think the high-level Federation hasn't found the source yet? A hundred years ago, the Gao Family was not entitled to know the truth, and that won't change a hundred years later."
Gao Cheng was thoroughly terrified.
The reason why the Gao Family and Future Company had survived until now, or rather their greatest reliance, was the protection of certain factions within the official Federation!
But if Ji Jingqiu's words were to be believed, the reason they protected them was not old sentiment but rather keeping them... domesticated.
His face tense, he dared not think further, though everything was solely from Ji Jingqiu's side and unconfirmed, yet he instinctively believed it because it answered many questions.
What kind of old sentiment could last for over a hundred years?
"...I understand. We will act against Jia Weiting, and the information obtained will be relayed to you immediately. If Dragon Tiger Dojo is wary, they can send someone to oversee us."
Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "If I'm not mistaken, that person's status is quite high, right? Do you really dare to act against him?"
