Chapter 1729: I’m an Immortal Sacred Peak
Fire Phoenix glanced at him and told Feng Jiu, “He said you are abnormal. I heard him speak ill of you there just now.”
Hearing this, Gray Wolf waved his hand quickly. “No, no! I absolutely didn’t speak ill of you. I was praising you. You have to believe me.”
Feng Jiu glanced at him with a smile but didn’t reply. She only asked, “When did you arrive?”
“I’ve been waiting for you here for a few days. I was wondering whether you will go to the Setting Moon Empire instead.” Then he looked at the Feng Guards and others behind him and asked curiously. “Ghost Doctor, how can their strength advance so fast?”
“They have been working hard for half a year. It is not surprising that they have such strength.” Feng Jiu replied with a smile.
“Seeing them gain such strength in just half a year makes me jump in shock. Besides their advancement, you seem to have improved your strength, too. Are you a Celestial Peak now? ”
Feng Jiu smiled. “No, I’m now an Immortal Sacred Peak.”
“Huh? What? You have reached Immortal Sacred Peak? It’s so incredible! How did you do it? It’s only half a year! My master wouldn’t expect that you’ve been promoted to the Immortal Sacred Peak. He was so worried about you!”
Gray Wolf exclaimed with a look of disbelief. Then, he thought that it was a matter of course. “But of course, if it wasn’t for your level, how could you easily kill the Scarlet Water Kingdom ruler?”
Feng Jiu smiled. “How many people are you taking with you?”
Gray Wolf grinned. “I only brought twenty people with me, but all of them are the top in terms of skills. They are right in front. Ghost Doctor, follow me ahead and take rest there!”
“Mm. Lead the way!” Feng Jiu motioned.
So, everyone followed Gray Wolf into the woods. The people in black, who had been waiting there, saw them coming. They went up and saluted. “We’ve met Ghost Doctor.”
Feng Jiu nodded. “Please don’t stand on ceremony.” Then she turned around and told the Feng Guards, “Let’s all have a rest!”
Luo Yu came forward. “Mistress, I’ll take several guys to catch some wild game.”
“Go ahead! Please be careful.” Feng Jiu instructed them.
Luo Yu smiled and replied, “Yes.” He turned around and left with a team.
After they sat down, Gray Wolf asked curiously, “Ghost Doctor, how did you kill the Scarlet Water Kingdom’s ruler? There are many strong people in the Scarlet Water palace. Didn’t they pay attention?” How did they manage to kill the ruler without making any sounds? Did those people fall asleep?
He was greatly startled at this thought. There was a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind. Oh, that’s right, Ghost Doctor must have used some drugs. Sure enough, he should listen to her words.
Feng Jiu smiled and explained. “I first asked Fire Phoenix to put the medicine into the well water they drank. The medicine was colourless and tasteless. Naturally, they didn’t notice it. In the evening, we sneaked into the palace. After we divided up the work and made a joint effort, in less than two hours, we set fire to the Scarlet Water Palace and hung several bodies in front of the palace gate to warn the others.”
Gray Wolf had a sudden flash of insight. “Oh, I see.”
Guan Xilin, who sat beside him, said with a smile, “Otherwise? Did you think we stormed into the Palace directly? How many men would we have lost if we charged in head on?”
“Hehe.” Gray Wolf laughed sheepishly. “No, of course, I didn’t think so.”
Feng Jiu looked at him and asked, “Is everything fine with your Master?”
