Chapter 2176: Their Mistress returns
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
At this time, Feng Jiu had just entered Hundred Rivers City and went on the street heading towards Heavenly Pill Tower. The moment she entered West Town, she caught a faint smell of blood in the air before she reached the inner street.
Why was the stench of blood getting stronger? What’s more, why did it keep pervading the air? Fill with doubt and worry, she quickened her pace and walked on, listening to the people talking in the street.
“Many people died. How did the Heavenly Pill Tower provoke these people?”
“Certainly many died. The fight was so fierce. Both sides possessed amazing strengths. How long has the Heavenly Pill Tower opened for business? I don’t think this will be the last time this kind of thing happens. I’m sure there will be more. Watch!”
“There’s a saying, people fear getting famous and pigs fear getting fattened up. If the limelight gets too brilliant, it’s easy to provoke disasters. It is either a thorn in the eye of others or a feud with others. This is the case of the Heavenly Pill Tower. Some people just can’t see others well. If you don’t provoke them, they will provoke you!”
Her heart sank as she heard this.
Many people had died? Were they the Heavenly Pill Tower’s people? She should have known that those who dared to oppose the Black Market would have formidable strength. But, she did not expect that it would cause such a great stir. This had also occurred when she was away.
The lanterns on the street were just lit. Not in the mood to watch, she flitted quickly until she reached the front of the Heavenly Pill Tower. Outside, she saw the door tightly shut and the bloodstains that had not been cleaned up yet.
“Mistress!” Two Feng Guards appeared outside the entrance. They were delighted and excited to see her back. “Mistress, you’re back! Gu Mo has been severely injured and he’s in a bad condition!”
Hearing this, she pursed her lips and walked in quickly into the rear courtyard.
“Mistress!”
“Mistress!”
“Mistress!”
Those injured Feng Guards saw her return. Each appeared and saluted her one after another.
Leng Hua and others in the rear courtyard were anxious. When they suddenly heard the greetings, their hearts leapt with joy. They stepped out quickly to have a look. “Mistress! You’re back!”
“How is Gu Mo?” Feng Jiu asked when she saw Leng Hua and several others come out.
“It was highly toxic. The sword pierced his chest. Fan Lin didn’t dare to pull it out for fear of causing him to bleed to death.” Leng Hua reported the situation hurriedly.
“What about the others?” She asked again, then went inside with quick steps. Once inside, she was surprised to see her big brother. “Big Brother, when did you arrive?”
“Apart from the death of two Feng Guards, the others were also injured, but not as seriously as Gu Mo. ” Leng Hua answered.
Guan Xilin saw it was her and nodded. “I have just arrived. As soon as I reached this place, I saw some people were attacking Leng Hua and the others.”
“Mistress, those Five Poison Sect people who came here were an Immortal Sacred Strong Exponent as well as several Celestial Strong Exponents and Nascent Soul Peak cultivators. Fortunately, Brother Guan came and a.s.sisted us.”
Feng Jiu nodded. “I’ll take a look at Gu Mo’s situation first and we’ll talk about the rest later.” She came to the bedside and looked at the pale but still awake Gu Mo. She asked, “Are you still conscious?”
“Mis, Mistress…” Gu Mo’s voice was feeble. His breath was so weak as if it was about to break.
“It’s alright, don’t speak yet.” She put her hand on his pulse to examine his condition.
Fan Lin, who was beside him, explained, “We were worried that he would not last until Mistress comes back, so we used our spirit energy to protect his heart..” If it were not for this, Gu Mo would not be able to hold up long ago.
