2041 Good News?
Shuntian Prefecture's Wuwang Mountain.
Clear Sky Gorge
A black figure landed inside an area of flowers and trees, and then he hid beneath the covered corridor.
The two people who were ambling slowly in his direction along the corridor did not realize that there was someone hiding here.
"Auntie, He Jiao has already sent back news via the jade messenger talisman that everything is progessing smoothly." A sinister voice came from the corridor. There seemed to be a metal rod hitting the floor from the incessant thuds that could be heard the entire time.
The person in hiding dared not peek out his head. Especially when the voices of those two people on the corridor got close, he blended his breathing into the breeze and did not move a single bit.
"Very good." An old and raspy female voice was heard at the same time.
"Unfortunately, we won't be able to experiment on that b*tch's body! I am certain that b*tch's body is hiding a profound secret."
"Cough, cough."
"Auntie, it's already been a week, yet your coughing hasn't gotten better. Could it be that your body feels unwell after assimilating that person's medicinal power?"
"Qiuhe, Auntie is fine." Fan Gu's hoarse voice rang out once again. She coughed numerous times before explaining, "Assimilating that person's medicinal power did indeed augment the medicinal power in my body, but at a slow pace. You have to research how to swifty augment Auntie's medicinal power. Cough, cough, cough. Otherwise I won't be unable to even treat a minor cold on my own in the future."
"Yes, Auntie. Qiuhe will do his best."
Fan Gu smiled complacently. "Ha ha, after disposing of that troublesome girl, I can finally endeavor to beseech Master for bright prospects for us."
*Thud, thud, thud.* The sound of the metal rod slowly drifted away alongside Fan Gu's rapsy laughter.
The young man in black hiding among the flowers stood up and swept an indifferent look at those two people's backs.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a black face veil, and she also had a slow gait.
The man accompanying beside her had a stubbly beard and an aged complexion. The obvious empty space inside his left pants leg and the metal crutch under his arms added to his feeling of vicissitude.
These two people were precisely Fan Gu and her nephew Fan Qiuhe whom Qiao Mu was intent on crushing to death.
Ever since losing his left leg when escaping from Sikong Planet's Jiaozhong Base, Fan Qiuhe had harbored a bitter hatred for Qiao Mu and schemed endlessly to dispose of her.
Unfortunately, the several batches of assassins the aunt and nephew had dispatched after discovering that Qiao Mu had ascended to the Six Prefectures Continent were unable to dispose of her as they wished.
Starting from Tan Fa, they had failed at every turn.
It wasn't until this time that He Jiao, one of their Clear Sky Faction disciples who had infiltrated into Polan Prefecture's Godsend Academy, brought them back a piece of good news.
After seeing the aunt and nephew leave while ambling along the corridor, that man in black vanished from the flowerbed.
His lord had instructed him and his men to keep a close watch on the people in Clear Sky Faction. They did not need to do anything and just encircle the faction.
As for everything else, they did not need to worry about it.
At this very moment, Mentor He of Polan Prefecture's Godsend Academy suddenly threw out something, and a thick smoke instantly enveloped his body.
"He Jiao!" The mentors from Celestial Light Academy hollered uncontrollably.
What was up with this guy?
Had he presented this spiritual tool just to kill all these academies' elite students?
Even though Elder Hong acted swiftly, the view of the seating area that was cloaked in thick smoke had already blurred by the time he flashed to He Jiao.
