It has to be said that Emperor Xiyue has a sharp eye.
The mountain ghost was wearing a black scarf, with only his eyes exposed. He was trying hard to hide the fact that he was still poisoned, but he still couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Xiyue.
Even though a person with Shan Gui's temperament had surrendered to Emperor Xiyue, it was impossible for him to be completely devoted to him without any reservations or precautions.
Now that it was pointed out by Emperor Xiyue, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart and lowered his head even more to hide the unknown emotion in his eyes.
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I am fine."
Naturally it is impossible to be unobstructed.
He tried every possible method and means to detoxify, but he could only remove 40% of the poison. The remaining 60% was controlled by his skills and drugs.
But he would not allow Emperor Xiyue to see these.
Emperor Xiyue glanced at him again, and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work. Someone will take care of the rest. You can go down and rest first."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
The mountain ghost left in the same way as he came. Even though there were so many experts outside, no one was alarmed.
Emperor Xiyue laughed with interest, his eyes unfathomable.
On this side, the mountain ghost left the Xiyue Palace and returned to a secret room in a house somewhere in Xiyue Kyoto. He took off his veil and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He staggered and almost fell.
He looked at himself and held on to the table next to him to stand, but then he seemed to be extremely angry and punched the table hard.
The table shattered into pieces with a bang.
Soon a young man with a gloomy face ran in, and almost at the same time saw the broken table on the ground and the mountain ghost with an extremely ugly and distorted face.
Even though he had seen this face countless times, he was still horrified and... disgusted. But what made his pupils shrink even more was that he saw the dark blue lips of the mountain ghost and the black blood at the corners of his mouth!
His heart was pounding.
His master, who had always been the one to hurt, kill, and slaughter people, was actually injured?
No, it's not injury, it's poisoning!
But in this world, how many people can poison the person in front of them?
He was filled with all kinds of speculations and fears, but he didn't dare to show them. He immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "I didn't know that Master had returned home. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me."
As he said this, his back was already covered in cold sweat.
The mountain ghost's vicious eyes, which were covered with ugly scars as if they were burned or bitten by thousands of ants and insects, moved its gaze towards him inch by inch in an almost distorted manner.
An attack that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly.
With one palm strike, the gloomy young man was knocked away and hit the wall with a bang, and choked on a mouthful of blood.
The gloomy young man didn't care about the pain that felt like his internal organs were shifting, and immediately crawled to his knees about three feet in front of the mountain ghost. Without asking the reason, he only admitted his fault with great respect, "It's my fault, Master, please calm down."
"Useless thing!" The mountain ghost kicked out again.
The gloomy young man was completely confused, but he knew that he didn't need to know anything. In short, it was common for his master to beat him up when necessary and not treat him as a human being.
"We are all disciples, why are you such a waste!"
Why could a disciple taught by someone like Baili Wushang, who looked like a useless person, be able to do that to him!
And his apprentice...
His eyes fell on the kneeling man again, "Get out!"
"Master, please calm down. I will take my leave now." The gloomy young man knelt down and crawled away. After he stood up and left the sight range, no one noticed that the gloominess in his eyes became even darker.
Before he could walk out, the mountain ghost suddenly shouted, "Stop."
The gloom in the young man's eyes disappeared instantly when he raised his head slightly, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Shan Gui didn't notice anything unusual about the young man, or he didn't care what tricks such a person could play under his command. To put it bluntly, he didn't take any of his apprentice's tricks seriously.
Without even glancing at the young man, he said, "Have you heard the rumors about the Regent Princess of Dajing and the Holy Saint of the Western Regions?"
The young man lowered his head and said, "I heard about it."
"If you hear about it, you'll add fuel to the fire!" How could he let her off easily if she dared to hurt him like this!
"Yes. I obey your command."
The mountain ghost then gave the young man a look of alms, and said in a tone as if to instruct an ant, "I will be in seclusion for ten days. During these ten days, no one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
After the young man went down, the mountain ghost who said he was going to go into seclusion went to a place quietly.
This place has all kinds of medicinal materials and equipment, and the environment is not bad, but there is no personal freedom.
Therefore, when Gu Laoda and his companions, who were feeling uneasy, saw the masked mountain ghost suddenly appear, they were stunned for a moment and then asked in surprise, "Sir, is that nobleman willing to summon my brothers and others?"
"The Lord has ordered you to do your job well, and he will not treat you unfairly."
"Yes, yes, it is my duty as a brother to be loyal to that noble man. However, I have some important matters to report to that noble man. Please pass on the message for me, sir..."
They were so humble and submissive that the mountain ghosts simply didn't care to buy into their claims.
Just like his apprentice in his eyes, Boss Gu and others were not in his eyes as usual.
However, his gaze was always on Boss Gu and the others, his ugly and ferocious eyes were unpredictable.
His tone was as contemptuous as always. "The Lord is such a person, how could he have time to see you? If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will convey it to the Lord on your behalf."
Boss Gu and the others looked at each other, "This..."
The mountain ghost sneered, "Why, you don't trust me?"
"We dare not, but that nobleman instructed us that any important matters should be reported directly to him..."
The murderous intent in the mountain ghost's eyes was overwhelming at this moment, "Oh, is that so."
Boss Gu could only bite the bullet and said, "Please forgive me, sir."
The mountain ghost didn't say much. He just waved his sleeves coldly and soon he disappeared from the room.
After the mountain ghost left for a while, Boss Gu collapsed to the ground as if he had collapsed. The others came over and asked with concern, "Brother, are you okay?"
Boss Gu waved his hands helplessly, filled with fear, "We need to see that noble man as soon as possible."
"Brother, what you mean is..."
"Although our achievements over the years have not been successful, the current level is good enough to be used. We cannot delay this matter. We brothers still want a good future and a good life. We must let that noble know how capable we are..."
The others were silent for a while.
"Brother, we are not going back to Jiuxian Valley?"
Boss Gu sighed, "I'm afraid we can't go back, so we need a new place and we need to let that noble man see our usefulness as soon as possible."
Some of them still had a conscience, "Brothers, if the things are handed over to that noble man, the world will be in ruins..."
This statement caused the other people to look at him in surprise, as if he were a monster.
The person who spoke also felt that he had lost his mind. After all, what did they, the brothers, have to do with the suffering of all the people in the world?
They just want wealth and glory in this life, and it would be even better if they could live forever.
At the same time, on Baili Feiyue's side, Ling Duannian came to the tent where Baili Feiyue lived.
