Dugu Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment.
"Cultivating Inner Qi is indeed beneficial, and there's also this trick of severing one's Heart Meridian."
Dugu Qingcheng reflected and summarized the experience, lightly murmuring, "In hindsight, I should have learned some acupoint techniques to seal his meridians and prevent the flow of Inner Qi."
Chen Tang and the others approached the vicinity of the main hall, each capturing a few bandit leaders for questioning.
Later, the four gathered again and shook their heads; they hadn't uncovered any useful information.
Changsun Ming frowned and said, "The Ten Ghosts of Wushan are all dead. What is this tribute? Just what is 'Mother'?"
Dugu Qingcheng said, "Moreover, we didn't see the women taken by Wushan Village from the foot of the mountain. What's going on?"
The four had already searched the entire village and interrogated everyone, but no one knew the whereabouts of those women.
The clues had reached a dead end.
