167: 166.
Blue lake 167: 166.
Blue lake “Is there anything else you want to know?” Xuetian City asked Mo Jiuli in haste, seeing her silent.
He just wanted to find a way back to Xue Clan, for he believed his master would find him a suitable body, and hence he will not have to die.
However, if his soul too had vanished, he could then hardly survive!
Isn’t it said the strongest of Lingtian Continent were the ones from the Hidden Families?
Why then are the mortals all growing so powerful now …
Just a while ago, he clearly saw that the stunningly beautiful woman had wiped out 24 Dark Guard Xue Ye, who had been carefully trained by their Xue Clan, just with a single move.
Even his master was unlikely to enact such strength so easily.
Perhaps his master was right about something.
Mortals are terrifying, and the outside world is highly precarious; he really craved to return to the Hidden Clan …
“Can people from the hidden families freely go out?” Mo Jiuli cast a glance at him and inquired indifferently.
“Of course not!
Only the younger generation when they reach a certain age, are given three opportunities to undergo training in the mortal world…” faithfully stated Xuetian City.
“What about if anyone from the outside world wishes to come to your hidden families?”
“That would be utterly impossible.
Not to mention that the mortals can’t find the entrance, even if they did, there would be no way for them to get in.
Reason being- opening the entrance requires some special tokens!
Each family has only five tokens, outsiders …”
Before Xuetian City could complete his sentence, he saw a space ring he was very familiar with suddenly appearing on Mo Jiuli’s hand, and then watched her extinguish the Divine Sense left on it and unveiled a purple token from inside.
There was a dark golden snow character written on the front of the token…
“Does that mean if you get it, other people can get in?” Mo Jiuli asked unemotionally.
“Yes …
Yes!
But, even if you have the token, you would not know the entrance is …” Seeing the mocking gaze in Mo Jiuli’s eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller, eventually stopping…
“It seems you’re not stupid!
If that is the case, well, you can stay here for now!
When you’re no longer needed, you naturally will be freed!” Mo Jiuli stated coolly.
Then, with a thought from Mo Jiuli, the light ball suspended in mid-air was collected into her space, and Little book found a closed area and temporarily trapped him there.
She pondered about her two cousins.
Since it was related to the Hidden Clan, she decided to keep this man for the time being.
Who knows she might need him at some point.
Moreover, she was a bit curious about those Hidden Families too …
After dealing with Xuetian City, Mo Jiuli took Baobao and the others out, who, under the guidance of Baobao, helped the little guy collect a number of toxic flowers, herbs, and beasts.
Just as they were preparing to leave …
Mo Jiuli suddenly furrowed her eyebrows slightly, turned her head back towards the deep end of Five Poisons Forest when her intuition seemed to tell her something, as if she could hear a voice calling out to her from within …
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Mother, what are you looking at?”
Seeing Mo Jiuli stopped, Lin Yue and Baobao simultaneously asked.
“I want to go in to check it out!” Mo Jiuli said.
“My dear girl!
You should know that Five Poisons Forest is even more dangerous during the day compared to at night, especially in the deep part of the forest.
Over the years, it is said no one has survived after going in!” stated Ancestor of Mo family, agreeing with her.
As for this Five Poisons Forest, they were also somewhat anxious.
After all, though they were all strong, they were not immune to poison.
“I have decided to go in and take a look.
You can all head back to the General’s mansion first.
I will bring my cousins back soon!” Mo Jiuli looked at the three and said.
She naturally was aware of the legends surrounding the Five Poisons Forest, but that faint voice seemed something imperative to her which she must check out, otherwise, she believed to regret it later …
Hearing this, the three old ancestors of the Mo family had no choice but to accompany her to the forest altogether in search of the source of the noise …
The five of them gathered the medicinal herbs Baobao wanted, and while proceeding towards the center of Five Poisons Forest, they realized the sky started to pale after about an hour.
But for the time they had spent merely an hour or so inside, the sky overhead became even darker, creating a sense of depression that made one’s heart anxious …
If it were not for her Detoxification Pills, perhaps the few elders would have reacted adversely to the environment.
Even so, she noticed the three elders of the Mo family were feeling slightly uncomfortable and had to swallow several Detoxification Pills to feel better …
“I didn’t expect this poisonous miasma to be so fierce!” one of the ancestors of the Mo family said with some shock.
If it were not for the detoxification pill provided by the girl, they could have found themselves in a precarious situation, which substantiated the notoriety of Five Poisons Forest …
As she delved further into the forest, that feeling inside Mo Jiuli’s heart became more intense.
It felt like something was continuously beckoning her, and she gradually quickened her pace involuntarily …
By the time Lin Yue and the others noticed, Mo Jiuli had already disappeared …
“Master …”
“Mother …”
“Girl …”
Lin Yue and others called out in unison, yet they did not get a reply from Mo Jiuli.
Just when they were worried and didn’t know what to do, Mo Jiuli’s voice echoed, “Baobao, Yueyue, I’m fine, you guys wait for me where you are!
I will be back soon …”
Before Baobao could respond, her voice and aura disappeared again.
Fortunately, knowing she was safe, they comfortably waited for her in place …
At that moment, Mo Jiuli was standing beside a lake, yes, an utterly stunning lake.
A blue lake was in front of her.
Just now, she was merely walking following the instincts of her heart, but that impulsive feeling to know what exactly was beckoning her made her lose focus for a moment.
When she snapped back into consciousness, she was already standing half a meter away from the lakeside …
She was sure that if she had regained her consciousness a bit later, she would have already plunged into the lake.
After hearing Baobao and others calling her, she quickly sent her voice out and once assured that Baobao could hear her, she began to observe the surroundings …
The lake, sheer blue and unfathomably deep, was in the front while the surroundings were filled with mist.
Seeing this, Mo Jiuli squinted, and noticed that besides the Poisonous Mist, there were signs of Array formation in the mist …
Mo Jiuli’s understanding of the Array formation was rather elementary, but having been recognized as a Divine Doctor in her two lives, and her gifted sensing power towards medicinal herbs-truly potent in her former life, she found her talents even more formidable after her soul traversed here …
Therefore, although she could not see anything in the mist with either her eyes or Divine Sense, she was able to clearly perceive that the plants inside were arranged in a certain pattern.
It was clear that a peculiar Array was deployed here which enabled the gathering of such a large amount of fog; on searching her mind for plants capable of producing fog, Mo Jiuli quickly found the answer …
