A chilling wind somehow blew through the dark secret passage.
It can't be said that Situ Xie was careless. That's because when Qiao Jing was held hostage by those four men with swords, he was fed with a pill that hindered his dantian, causing weakness in his limbs. Although he could still stand on his own and not fall, he had no chance of victory against Situ Xie, let alone fight back.
Indeed, Qiao Jing's weapons were confiscated, and the hidden weapons and poisons on his body were searched and taken away, except for the jade ring on his hand.
This ring was special, it was given to Qiao Jing by Situ Xie a few years ago, saying that it was a relic of his mother, Situ Xiang.
Thus, it was entirely normal for Qiao Jing to still be wearing the ring, and Situ Xie thought he knew it well, considering it just an expensive accessory.
