Chapter 225: Find Another Way Out
Fang Qingshan’s gaze landed in the air, and he could not help but sigh. “Gu Xi’s origins are a mystery. If he really is just a disciple of a small sect, why would he have such an injury?”
“Also, don’t forget… He clearly has no cultivation and has lost all his spiritual energy, yet he is able to command a swarm of insects. Even if a Great Sage was here, he would still have to retreat when faced with such a huge swarm of insects, not to mention Gu Xi, who is no different from a mortal now.”
Although Gu Xi said that he was extremely talented and could communicate with the insect race, Fang Qingshan felt that it was not that simple. Perhaps there was something that they did not know.
Li Junyan could not help but ask, “But didn’t he say that he could communicate with the insect race?”
“Perhaps. Only he himself knows whether it is true or not. We can’t just beat around the bush.”
If Gu Xi did not want to say it out loud, he had many ways to do it. Moreover, he was now the benefactor of Moyu Tower. Fang Qingshan did not want to get to the bottom of it, so as to avoid souring the relationship.
“Master, don’t think too much. Maybe it’s too complicated for us.”
“I hope so… But we have to reduce the interaction between him and Qinyu. Otherwise, that girl will get more and more involved. You have to be careful about this.”
Li Junyan knew that Fang Qingshan was worried that Fang Qinyu would be injured. “Don’t worry, master. I will pay more attention to Junior Sister’s situation.”
On the other side, after collecting the Jade Dew, Fang Qingshan also sent someone to deliver it to Gu Xi.
[Ding! Nine Revolutions Jade Dew detected.]
[Contains impurities 5421. Do you wish to extract it?]
[Host has successfully obtained Nine Revolutions Jade Dew Pill.]
Two bottles of Nine Revolutions Jade Dew was the entire savings of Moyu Tower. After converting them into pills, all he obtained were two pills.
It was unknown if it was because he had taken it once before, nut the effect of the second time was not as obvious as the last time. Gu Xi could clearly feel that the injuries in his body had slightly recovered, but it was still a drop in the bucket for him.
“It seems that the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew Pill is no longer of any use to me. I can only think of other ways.”
There was another pill that Gu Xi did not consume. In any case, it did not have much of an effect on him at the moment. It would be a waste if he ate it. He might as well keep it for a rainy day.
Gu Xi had been recuperating in the Moyu Tower for the past few days. Fang Qingshan was also a generous person. He was not stingy with all the Heavenly and Earthly treasures, and all the healing medicines were delivered to his hands like flowing water.
However, the number of times Fang Qinyu came to visit him had decreased by a lot.
While he was wandering around in boredom, he suddenly heard the discussion of a few disciples.
“It’s really too strange. The village was just fine, but in one night, everyone disappeared. I heard that it was the vengeful spirit that killed them.”
“Zi Buyu is a monster. It should be a demon beast that attacked the village.”
“If it was a demon beast that attacked the village, there should be traces of blood. It’s impossible for there to be no traces at all. If I had to say it, it must be a hooligan.”
The few disciples spoke very seriously and did not notice Gu Xi’s existence for a moment.
“What are you guys talking about?” Gu Xi’s sudden words shocked the few of them. After they saw who it was, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“You scared me to death.”
Ever since Gu Xi had saved the entire Moyu brothel and Fang Qingshan had instructed them, everyone was very friendly to Gu Xi.
Seeing that Gu Xi was very interested, the disciple said mysteriously, “We were talking about a strange incident recently. I heard that all the villagers in the village next to Phantom Forest disappeared overnight. Master has already sent people to check on them, but they haven’t returned yet.”
“What a strange story.” Gu Xi was immediately interested. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, the disciples said their goodbyes in a hurry.
“Master has summoned us. We have to go there quickly.”
Gu Xi had nothing to do, so he followed the disciples into the main hall.
In the hall, Fang Qingshan sat at the head seat with a solemn expression. His disciples stood respectfully on both sides.
“Earlier, when the villagers disappeared for no reason, I sent my disciples to investigate. However, there has been no news of them recently. I can’t even contact them. This matter is extremely strange.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall was instantly in an uproar.
“What? If that’s the case, then Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Fang, and the others have all disappeared!”
Fang Qingshan nodded with an unsightly expression.
Back then, the disciples were divided into two groups to carry out the trial mission. Li Junyan, Fang Qinyu, and the others’ mission was to hunt the Violent Demon Bear, while the other group of disciples went to investigate.
Initially, they thought that the second mission was not dangerous, but to investigate why the villagers had disappeared. At most, they would be attacked by demon beasts.
In the villages around the Phantom Forest, this kind of trouble occurred all year round. Occasionally, demon beasts would run out of the forest, so the people were already used to it.
Therefore, the disciples sent by Fang Qingshan were not very powerful. Even if they could not defeat the demon beasts in the face of danger, they could just escape. However, now, they had suddenly disappeared.
The disciples could not help but worry. “Could they have been killed by the demon beasts?”
Fang Qingshan shook his head. “Their life lamps are still on. Although the light is dim and their lives are not in danger for the time being, in the long run, this is not going to work.”
“Could it be that our enemy forces intentionally captured those people?”
“It’s possible that those evil cultivators are also trying to cause trouble.”
Everyone was discussing.
All the disciples of the Moyu Tower would leave a drop of blood in their life lamps. If the life lamps were still on, the people would still be alive. If the life lamps were extinguished, it meant that the person had died. This way, the Moyu Tower would also be able to know the situation of all the disciples.
