"Fine!"

Duan Gujin did not doubt the woman, feeling she couldn't possibly play tricks in front of him.

After a while, the woman revealed her and the young man's identities to Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin had been closely observing the woman's facial expressions and certain bodily movements, and he noticed her eyes were constantly flickering, along with some abnormal breathing and heartbeat patterns, leading him to conclude she was likely lying.

The woman told Duan Gujin that her father was a guard for some official's family and had offended some untouchable people. Ultimately, her father was tragically killed, leaving them to wander the streets homeless, with the world as their dwelling.

Duan Gujin didn't believe a word the woman said.

"Heh, do you think I'm a fool?"

Duan Gujin guessed the woman probably didn't want to tell the truth in front of a stranger, which is understandable.

"You must believe what I am saying!" Yet, the woman kept insisting.

"Fine!"

Duan Gujin replied nonchalantly, his eyes flickering as he asked, "What poison has afflicted your brother?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's face darkened slightly as she shook her head. "I really don't know about that. The doctors told me my brother has been poisoned seriously and it would require a substantial amount of money to treat him. So, I had no choice but to sell our family's treasure sword!"

"I can save your brother. Those doctors claim they don't know what poison he's afflicted with because they are incompetent, unable to identify the deadly poison, but I know exactly what poison your brother has suffered from!" Duan Gujin said earnestly.

"Then please save my brother. You can ask me to do anything!" The woman's eyes lit up with urgency as she rapidly began to plead with him.

"Saving your brother is simple! Just tell me the truth. Do you think I couldn't tell you were lying earlier?" Duan Gujin said coldly.

"This..." The woman hesitated at once.

Duan Gujin said with annoyance, "If I were truly an assassin sent by your enemies, I wouldn't need the truth. I could easily eliminate you without it! Do you believe that?"

Seeing the disbelief on the woman's face, Duan Gujin understood what she was thinking.

"So she thought I was just bragging!"

With a thought, he mobilized his Primordial Power, channeling it into his palms.

To give the woman a profound shock, he activated his Demonized Martial Soul.

Sensing the terrifying aura slowly emanating from Duan Gujin, the woman's face paled; she hadn't expected the young man before her to be so powerful.

"What do you want to do?"

Now, the woman was terrified.

"Heh!"

Once his palms accumulated sufficient Primordial Power, Duan Gujin locked onto a nearby large tree and swiftly struck it with his palm.

With a loud boom, the large tree tumbled down.

After a moment, the body of the tree turned charcoal-black, completely devoid of life, as if it had been charred.

Witnessing a vibrant tree rapidly transform into black charcoal, the woman's face changed dramatically, her heart filled with shock, and she looked at Duan Gujin with fear.

She knew well in her heart that if Duan Gujin really wanted to annihilate her and her brother, it would be effortless for him to eradicate them.

"Oh my God! Who exactly is this person? If the move he had just used hit me, wouldn't I have been burnt to charcoal?"

With this thought, the woman couldn't help shivering.

Seeing the woman's shivering body, Duan Gujin knew she was frightened.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he no longer wished to trouble the woman further.

"Do not be afraid. I am truly not an enemy sent to kill you! I only seek the truth, and if you speak it, I can offer my assistance!"

Duan Gujin stated indifferently.

"Alright, I'll speak! I haven't told you the truth just now, out of fear! Now, I can tell you what the truth actually is!"

At this moment, the woman knew what she ought to do.

After all, the person standing before her was exceedingly powerful, and she believed he could easily annihilate her.

"The reason I lied to you earlier is because my father was harmed by the Prime Minister of Country Gulai! My father was an Arrow Master who took a secret mission from the Prime Minister and since then, set off on that mission, and after that, no information came. Later on, we heard that all the Arrow Masters of the escort agency had been wiped out. So, I guessed that it must have been the work of the Prime Minister of Country Gulai! And soon after, my brother was poisoned without reason, and I have no idea how he was poisoned. We have been fleeing all this time and have not come into contact with anyone! I suspect that my brother had been poisoned a long time ago!"

The woman said.

Duan Gujin scrutinized the woman's facial expressions very seriously and also observed her movements attentively.

After his analysis and observation, he deduced that the woman was not lying this time.

"Alright, for now, I'll choose to believe you once! Then let me examine your brother; I possess some medical skills, let me see what sort of severe poison your brother has succumbed to!"

After a while, Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!"

The woman hastily nodded in agreement.

Duan Gujin then approached the woman's brother, grasped the young man's arm, and performed a Divine Sense Inspection into his body.

After a while, he understood the young man's condition.

"He really has been poisoned, with a chronic deadly poison. I think your brother has had it for at least a month by now. The poison has invaded his internal organs, and he probably can only hold on for another month or two!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Big brother, I beg you, please save my brother!" After saying this, the woman actually knelt to the ground.

Duan Gujin quickly grabbed the woman's arm, lifting her to her feet.

"Stand up first. Your brother is merely deeply poisoned. I must purchase some Medicinal Herbs promptly to detoxify him!"

As Duan Gujin spoke, suddenly, his eyes flashed sharply. He realized that this woman's Cultivation had already reached the Postnatal Sixth Realm.

He had previously affirmed that the woman was not lying, and with her true strength being at the Postnatal Sixth Realm, it meant that her father was likely once a powerful Arrow Master.

In Country Gulai, Arrow Masters are Cultivators hired by escort agencies to transport goods or protect people.

Although most Cultivators in this world possess storage rings that can hold some items, and there are also Teleportation Arrays that enable long-distance transportation.

However, it seems like smaller nations like Country Gulai only have one large Teleportation Array.

Generally, such large Arrays are set up within the Capital City, heavily guarded both inside and out, and any Cultivator wishing to use the Teleportation Array must go through strict screening; it's not something that can be resolved with mere wealth.
