Chapter 1420: Chapter 721: No Need
Chapter 721
“That should be enough! We wanted to cross-check with the people from the other four cities to see how many were missing, but when we tried to contact them, we discovered that we couldn’t reach anyone from Fenglin City! And after attempting to make contact with the other three cities, it was the same—all the people from the four cities were unreachable. Fearing something had happened, we immediately rushed to inform the Elders…” one of the men said tremblingly.
“Why didn’t you come to us immediately last night?” the old man asked displeased upon hearing this.
“We thought it was too late last night, so we tried again this morning, but still couldn’t make contact, and that’s when we hurried over!” another person said shakily.
“Humph, contact the others and see what has happened?” the man in black clothes grunted coldly and turned to the others dressed in black.
The man in black nodded, took out a black Sound Transmission Stone, imbued it with a wisp of aura, and waited for a response—but there was none after a long time…
Seeing this, the old man in black furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Contact the rest and see!”
The man in black tried repeatedly, but each time, no matter which, they couldn’t make contact, and there was no response for a long time…
“It looks like something really has happened. Is there any anomaly downstairs?” the old man asked another person in black.
“Reporting to the Elder, there are no anomalies!” the man in black replied respectfully.
After some thought, the old man pulled out a fiery-red Stone and threw it into the air after imbuing it with aura. But just as it reached midair, Mo Jiuli directly snatched it away…
The old man’s eyes turned cold as he commanded, “Whoever is there, come out!”
…There was no response.
“Elder, it seems someone has infiltrated our ranks!” another man in black said.
“Complete the lockdown of the Space, no one is allowed in or out!” the old man said with an icy voice.
“Madam, should we kill them?” Murong Lan Hui whispered through transmission.
“There’s no need; it will be alright soon…” Mo Jiuli replied.
Hearing this, Murong Lan Hui and his companion said nothing. Although they could tell the people opposite to them were stronger, it should have been easy for them to detect their presence. Yet, they had been standing here for quite some time and the others seemed completely unaware. Recalling the invisibility Elixir that Mo Jiuli had given them earlier, their shock towards Mo Jiuli deepened even further…
It was no wonder their Eldest Lady had commanded them to recognize Mo Jiuli as their lord; such a person wasn’t even to be found in Mu Country! Perhaps, if she went to Mu Country one day, she might even be able to help save their Young Master and lord…
Though they were filled with hope, they knew very well that they could not speak out! As servants now, they had neither the right nor the privilege to ask Mo Jiuli to do anything, not even to plead…
For they realized that even though they were from Mu Country, esteemed members of the Murong Clan feared by all on the Haotian Continent, in Mo Jiuli’s eyes, they were insignificant and she had no interest in having any dealings with them…
Thus, what they needed to do was to obey, to follow all of Mo Jiuli’s commands unconditionally. Only by gaining Mo Jiuli’s recognition could they possibly find a chance to save their lord…
It must be said that the two Elders from the Murong Clan were very wise, for when Mo Jiuli later went to Mu Country, they were incredibly grateful for the decision they made that day…
