“Cult Master, are you okay!” The left guardian softly exclaimed in worry as he supported his drenched cult master while walking quickly along the riverbank.
“Cough, cough. Cough.” Although His Excellency the Cult Master was in a sorry state, he was in ecstatic joy. “Hahaha! Cough, cough.”
At this, the left guardian quickly fed him a pill. “Cult Master, you have not recovered completely from your previous serious dagger wound near your heart, yet now, your chest area took two to three of Crown Prince Mo’s palm strikes… you should take better care of your body.”
“Haha, cough, how much better off than me could he be?” His Excellency declared with a complacent smile, “Even though I took two strikes to the chest, it’s fine as long as I shift away my vital organs.”
He asserted without worrying in the least, “It’s not like I’m going to die! It’s different for him though.”
“He got poisoned with the devil grass’s poison, which is completely incurable, hahaha! Cough, cough, he! Is dead for sure! Right now, he still doesn’t know that he will turn into a corpse very soon, ha-cough, cough, cough…” After saying his piece, His Excellency roared wildly in laughter again, stopping only when he started laughing out blood.
“Cult Master?” The left guardian paled in fright as he supported his worrisome master, inwardly grumbling that he didn’t cherish his body.
The cult master had seen the vicissitudes of life and was playful by nature, making it difficult to tell his mood.
When had there been someone who wounded him to this extent? Yet he had the nerve to laugh!
“Bring me to the Mystic Beast Forest.” His Excellency’s fingers grabbed his wrist.
Yet the left guardian opened his eyes wide in shock. “Cult Master! You are already injured to this extent. What are you still going to the Mystic Beast Forest for?”
Shouldn’t he immediately return to headquarters to recuperate right now!
“Stop fussing, bring me there.” His Excellency coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his body involuntarily slumped against the left guardian.
When the left guardian looked down and saw that his master had fainted like this, he could not help but be anxious and angry. He was both furious and indignant, but he didn’t dare go against his master’s will. Hence, he could only find somewhere to treat his master’s wounds first before bringing him toward the Mystic Beast Forest.
His heart’s voice: How did I get you as a master!
—-Ding Tingding the Fool—-
While slaughtering mystic beasts for seven days and six nights, Qiao Mu had unceasingly absorbed the boundless mystic energy in this place.
After wildly assimilating the essence earth in her body, she smoothly advanced a level without any surprise, stepping into the ranks of a level-13 mystic cultivator.
When she used her inner sight, she discovered that with this time’s swift assimilation of the essence earth, there was less than one-third remaining.
From the looks of it, she would completely assimilate it sooner than expected.
Suddenly, she abruptly opened her eyes. Her heart started beating inexplicably like a thundering drum, and she felt a strange alarm in her heart.
Quickly stroking her drumming chest, she gazed in confusion at the azure sky inside the secret realm.
What was going on?
She actually felt so panicked all of a sudden.
Before she could dwell on it, however, she heard the sound of approaching heavy footsteps.
She didn’t need to look to know that that wily giant ape senior had come over.
After the giant ape tromped up to her, it suddenly extended its long and furry arms to pick her up again just like before.
Without allowing for rejection, it tromped on the loose dirt with its thick and fat feet to bring her back to the stone tablet.
“Xiao Qiao.” When Sixth Zheng saw her, he involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief.
In reality, they had already been released from their closed spaces two days ago, so Sixth Zheng had been apprehensive when he didn’t see Qiao Mu appear the entire time.
