Chapter 859
“Master, we can go in now!” Qiuqiu said.
Mo Jiuli nodded and walked in together with Little Lingling. Just as she’d expected, their entry did not attract any attention…
Moreover, as they passed through the barrier, Mo Jiuli felt a slight resistance that disappeared in an instant! They entered effortlessly…
Once inside, Qiuqiu immediately cast invisibility on them, and Mo Jiuli and Little Lingling boldly began exploring the area. Rather than simply being a deserted mountain, it resembled a mountain gate built upon the terrain…
Mo Jiuli noticed that black-clad figures were everywhere, their entire bodies wrapped tightly without even their eyes exposed. If not for the occasional glimpse of their hands, it would’ve been hard to determine whether they were human or beast…
“Let’s go in!” Mo Jiuli said, eyeing a massive iron gate up ahead. At the gate, two rows of people stood neatly arranged on either side, seemingly guarding the entrance…
On the left side, there was a small courtyard where several people could also be seen. These individuals appeared to be tasked with protecting the iron gate, sparking Mo Jiuli’s curiosity…
From what she’d overheard in the conversation between two people earlier, this big gate seemed to lead into the Dark Abyss! However, their claim that the Dark Abyss would vanish if humans entered baffled her, and she felt compelled to investigate further…
Regardless of the reasons, Mo Jiuli was determined to enter the Dark Abyss!
Clutching Qiuqiu and Little Lingling, she stealthily slipped into the small courtyard. The courtyard wasn’t large. From the left-side rooms, a faint medicine fragrance wafted out—clearly a pill-refining area. From the right-side rooms, an aroma of food drifted out—it seemed to be the kitchen…
The central room had guards stationed at the entrance, indicating that it belonged to the mysterious leader they’d heard earlier. Mo Jiuli kept silent and sat down by the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. She guessed that it wouldn’t be long before the person inside the main house came out for a meal…
As expected, her prediction proved correct. Not long after, food was brought to the stone table before her. The dishes consisted mostly of demon beast meat, but the taste made Mo Jiuli somewhat disdainful…
“Master, your meal is ready!” the guard at the door called out towards the room inside.
“Hmm.” The voice that replied remained cold and icy.
Not long afterward, a black-clad man emerged from the room. Based on Mo Jiuli’s estimation, his height was nearly two meters, towering over every other black-clad figure inside and outside the courtyard by at least half a head. No wonder the table was packed with so much meat and food…
Mo Jiuli was curious to see how this leader ate his food, but to her surprise, he merely glanced at the table before a black hole suddenly appeared in front of the bamboo hat he wore. Then, as if channeling some technique, all the food on the table flew into the black hole. Despite seeming only the size of a fist, the black hole effortlessly devoured the entire table of food in an instant…
This unusual phenomenon thwarted Mo Jiuli’s attempt to catch a glimpse of his face. Subsequently, someone quickly came over to clear the empty plates from the table and replaced them with another full spread of dishes—again, predominantly meat…
Under Mo Jiuli’s astonished gaze, the man repeated the process, sucking the dishes clean with a single motion. In this fashion, he consumed five full tables of food before letting out a satisfied belch and saying, “Enough!”
