Just as Jun Moxie ingested the antidote, Mo Jiuli’s fingers subtly moved beneath her sleeve, a faint trace of dark energy lightly brushing Jun Moxie’s body…
Unaware of what had happened, Jun Moxie immediately activated the weak mystical energy in his body to refine the antidote he had consumed.
However, his face gradually worsened, and black blood flowed from his nose and ears…
This sight astonished the four old men watching from the side…
“Lord, what’s wrong with you?” Finally, one of them couldn’t help but speak.
Instead of being helpful, his shout distracted Jun Moxie, who spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed.
Staring at the black blood oozing from his orifices, he looked at Mo Jiuli in shock: “Who are you?
What poison is this?
How is this possible?
Impossible, impossible…”
His master had clearly said that this antidote, purchased from Asura Nine Doctors, could cure all kinds of mysterious poisons in the world.
So why, after eating it, was he not only unhealed but in fact more deeply poisoned?
It wasn’t possible – he couldn’t die.
What would happen to his junior fellow apprentice if he did?
No, he absolutely couldn’t die…
Thinking this, Jun Moxie stared at Mo Jiuli with a sinister expression: “Do you know who my master is?
You’d better let us go before my master finds out, or he’ll never let you go!”
“Heh, what does your master have to do with me?
Unless he has a way to save you right now!
If not, even the Heavens won’t be able to save you today!” Mo Jiuli coldly replied.
She had not killed them right away because she wanted to learn more about Nanfeng Country from them.
Nanfeng Country was a unique existence among the Seven Countries, not only because of its superior geographical location…
But also because the Heavenly Master of Lingtian Continent resided there, shrouding Nanfeng Country in a layer of mystery.
The numerous dangerous lands within Nanfeng Country were only accessible to outsiders for training, and settling there was strictly forbidden…
Be it common people or members of the royal family, the same rules applied to everyone.
Even Nine Floors had gone through considerable trouble to buy a property and set up shop in Nanfeng Country…
Even so, the number of Nine Floors’ members in Nanfeng Country was the smallest, as too many people simply couldn’t be brought in!
As for information regarding Nanfeng Country, even with the existence of Nine Floors, what they knew was still very limited…
And the Alchemy Guild Headquarters, Artifact Refining Guild Headquarters, and Beast Taming Association Headquarters were all in Nanfeng Country!
This just goes to show how prosperous Nanfeng Country was…
Mo Jiuli had been very curious about Nanfeng Country for a long time, and since learning from Granny Ai that Heisha Palace was also in Nanfeng Country, she wanted to know even more…
She had a premonition that she would have to go to Nanfeng Country sooner or later, and it didn’t seem that her arrival would be welcomed.
Thus, she had to think carefully about what to do today…
Hearing Mo Jiuli’s words, Jun Moxie became somewhat flustered: “My junior fellow apprentice is the Second Prince of Nanfeng Country, and my master is the National Minister.
If you kill me, you’re making an enemy of the entire Nanfeng Country!
You will face endless pursuit!”
“Heh, really?
You know, I’m not entirely against letting you go.
After all, we have no grudges, right?
But you’ve found out some things you shouldn’t have and wasted quite a bit of my energy, so just letting you go doesn’t seem fair, does it?” Mo Jiuli deliberately spoke languidly.
“What do you want?
Just say it, and I’ll agree to anything!” Jun Moxie immediately replied, finding that he could feel his life force draining away.
If this continued, he had no doubt that he would die.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you!” Mo Jiuli said, walking over to Jun Moxie and directly taking his Space Ring, the storage bag at his waist, and the soft sword hidden close to his body…
Jun Moxie stared in disbelief at the items in Mo Jiuli’s hand, representing his entire fortune.
How could this woman know about all of it?
Without these things, he would be utterly penniless…
Before he could lament further, his subordinates were also effortlessly plundered by Mo Jiuli.
They watched as Mo Jiuli collected the goods, feeling extreme pain but not daring to utter a single word of disagreement…
“I’ve heard that in order to settle in Nanfeng Country, one must obtain the approval of the Nanfeng Royal Family, is that true?” Mo Jiuli asked indifferently.
“Yes, that’s correct!
However, under the Heavenly Master’s orders, all families or forces entering Nanfeng Country must receive his permission.
Even the royal family of Nanfeng Country cannot arbitrarily agree to let outsiders settle there!” Jun Moxie relayed without any hesitation.
“Is the Emperor of Nanfeng Country also a Heavenly Master?” Mo Jiuli asked, her curiosity piqued.
She didn’t know much about the most legendary figure of Lingtian Continent, after all…
Strange as it was, the elusive Heavenly Master Lord of Lingtian Continent was enigmatic, with nobody knowing if he was a man or a woman, or even a human or a ghost…
At times, she even doubted if such a person truly existed, or if it was simply an elaborate hoax…
“Master, the Heavenly Master is not the Emperor of Nanfeng Country!
He is the only Great God on Lingtian Continent.
It’s said that the Heavenly Master has already lived for tens of thousands of years, and there’s nothing he can’t do or doesn’t know!” Yun Xia disrespectfully rolled her eyes as she spoke in her heart.
Did her master really spend all her time secluded after birth?
How did she not even know who the Heavenly Master was?
Mo Jiuli sneered in her heart, thinking: “Tens of thousands of years?
Are you sure the Heavenly Master is human and not a ghost?”
“Of course, he’s a human!
They say the Heavenly Master is the most handsome man on Lingtian Continent!” Yun Xia claimed, somewhat worshipful.
“Yun Xia, have you seen him?” Mo Jiuli asked curiously.
Was Yun Xia really that infatuated, despite being a flower?
Imagining what a Cannibal Flower would look like swooning, Mo Jiuli couldn’t help but feel intoxicated…
“I haven’t seen him, of course!
I heard it from others!” Yun Xia said disappointedly.
She had always wanted to meet the Heavenly Master Lord but had never had the opportunity…
“Come on, listen to me – even if the Heavenly Master really has lived that long, he’d be a decrepit old man by now.
‘The first handsome man’?
That’s just a rumor, a rumor!
Rumors can’t be trusted, got it?” Mo Jiuli mentally told Yun Xia.
“No way!
Just like the legendary Asura Nine Silvers, they’re said to be a handsome, graceful man!” Yun Xia argued, unwilling to believe.
Feeling defeated, Mo Jiuli earnestly repeated in her mind, “Yun Xia, I really am telling you this for your own good!
You really can’t trust rumors!”
Handsome?
She was a beauty, okay?
Man, my ass…
Finishing her thought, Mo Jiuli looked at Jun Moxie, who was staring blankly at her, and asked impatiently, “What’s the matter?
Can’t answer?”
“No, it’s not that!
You really don’t know the Heavenly Master Lord?” Jun Moxie asked incredulously.
What kind of monster was this woman?
She didn’t even know about the Heavenly Master Lord – how had she managed to survive up until now?
