Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1852
Chapter 1852: Heart-Scattering Pill
At this moment, he would never have thought that Feng Jiu had infiltrated the place where the Shadow Night Palace trained Shadow Disciples.
“Master.” Gray Wolf had walked in from outside and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze sitting in the palace.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced up briefly then put away the portrait on the table. A low voice came out of his mouth: “Speak.”
“A piece of news has come back from the men that we had sent out. It seems that the reason the Shadow Night Palace wants to deal with the Phoenix Empire and Xuan Yuan Empire is because of one person.” Gray Wolf took a letter out and handed it forward, saying: “The details are in here.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze removed the mark on the letter and looked at it. His gaze narrowed: “Send someone to get more information on this person and find out why they are against us. In addition to that, tell the men who have been stationed in secret by the Shadow Night Palace to stand down and wait for the opportune moment.”
“Rest assured Master, as soon as I learned the news I already sent people to start an investigation. The men who have been stationed have also not made a move. But Master, what else did the letter say?” Gray Wolf asked curiously.
He only knew some of the news, but he didn’t know what was in the letter.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at him and then handed him the letter for him to read himself.
When Gray Wolf had taken the letter and read it, he couldn’t help but gasped: “These Shadow Night Palace people are so wicked, they actually secretly kidnapped casual cultivators and planned to train them into Shadow Disciples to enter the Four Great Immortal Sects? However, these casual cultivators haven’t trained with them since childhood, can they be trained to become one of their people?”
“The Shadow Night Palace must have their own methods. If they didn’t have the confidence that they could do it, they wouldn’t have kidnapped the casual cultivators for training.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood up and walked down with his hand behind his back as he spoke: “As far as I know, the Shadow Night Palace has a poison called the Heart-Scattering pill. When first taken, the pill acts like a recurring poison and you have to take a suppressive antidote regularly. However, after a period of time, this kind of poison can make people lose their minds and emotions, becoming a killer who obeys commands without question.”
“Those casual cultivators who have been kidnapped would have been forced to take the Heart-Scattering Pill. I reckon, when they become elite killers, they would also become killers who have lost all their emotions and feelings. They don’t have to worry about betrayal using these kinds of killers to break into the Four Great Immortal Sects if they get discovered.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes narrowed and he looked up at the sky outside his palace as he spoke.
“It’s that powerful?” Gray Wolf was in disbelief.
“Not only that, the people who have been trained by the Shadow Night Palace won’t be inferior to our men.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said. He turned back and looked at Gray Wolf: “The power of our Hell’s Palace has not reached the upper reaches of the mainland yet. I won’t go over yet, but I want you to pick a few elite men from our Hell’s Palace and bring them over.”
Gray Wolf was startled and asked hurriedly: “Does Master mean that he wants subordinate to bring a few men over to set things up first? Then on Master’s side here…”
“There is nothing serious going on here now. Once you arrive over there, inquire about news of Feng Jiu. I need to know she is safe.” He ordered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the orders, Gray Wolf responded immediately: “Yes, rest assured Master. Subordinate will go and prepare at once.” Saying that, he retreated after saluting.
There were many Nascent Soul level and higher level cultivators in Hell’s Palace, even Celestial Strong Exponent cultivators. Since they were going to the upper reaches, then naturally they had to bring cultivators with at least Nascent Soul level strengths.
“Shadow One.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze called out.
Shadow One walked out from the shadows: “Master.”
He turned his head and looked at Shadow One asking: “Have you got the information of the few people I asked you to look into last time?”
Chapter 1853: Who is the Phoenix Star?
Shadow One stepped forward and said: “Subordinate was just about to report to Master. We have the information of those few people. Originally, they had each entered a sect on this side. However, later on, during the sects’ big selection, they were chosen by the Four Sects of the upper reaches to become their disciples due to their outstanding performances.”
“Oh?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze was slightly surprised: “All four of them have been chosen by those Four Sects?”
“Yes, Luo Fei, Ning Lang, as well as Song Ming and Duan Ye were all picked. However, I don’t know the whereabouts of Bai Xiao, the one who is good at taming beasts. There has been no news of him.” Shadow One said respectfully.
“Since they are at the upper reaches of the mainland, sooner or later, they will meet Feng Jiu. They were trained by her personally, with them in each of the Four Sects, it will be easier for her to take any action in the future.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said. He paused for a while, then said: “Take this news to Gray Wolf. Tell him that once they have news of Feng Jiu, they are to give her the news of the four of them.”
“Yes.” Shadow One responded and retreated into the shadows once again.
On the other side, at Jade Cloud Immortal Sect, one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, on a mountain peak, two children, one older and one younger, were practising sword techniques with wooden swords. Stood not too far away were two elders. One of the elders was stroking his beard, nodding his head with a look of satisfaction on his face.
If Feng Jiu and the others were here, they would have definitely recognised the two children. The older one was Sunny and the younger one was Feng Ye. After the two of them had been rescued, they were taken to Jade Cloud Immortal Sect and taken as disciples by Xuwu Immortal Lord.
“These two children have only been learning this sword technique for a few months and they have picked it up very well. You have good foresight Senior Brother.”
“Come to think of it, we have Old Man Tianji to thank for this. The last time I visited his place he had only pointed me in a direction. After searching for so long, I finally found them.” The elder’s eyes narrowed as he smiled, his face filled with relief: “After we have cultivated these two young children to become talents, I will finally have a successor.”
“These two children have extraordinary characters, especially the younger one, his appearance is even more outstanding. I’m afraid that they are most probably not children from an ordinary family?” The elder at the side asked as his gaze fell on Feng Ye, who was in front of him.
“I saved them on the road, I don’t know whose family they belong to. However, these two children are fated to be my disciples and their fate with their family is weak. If they remain by their family’s side, I’m afraid that it would be difficult for them to survive. It’s better for them to develop their talents before they go down the mountain to look for their relatives.”
Xuwu Immortal Lord stroked his beard as he spoke. He glanced at the two children and said: “By the way, haven’t the Four Great Immortal Sects sent men to search for the Phoenix Star? Why have I heard news that there has been some development in the search?”
“The news refers to a woman in the Heavenly Sun Sect. It is said that when this woman was born, there were meteors raining down from the Heavens. Be it natural talents or disposition, she is said to be a phoenix amongst people. She is also said to be very beautiful. In addition to this, it is said that this woman has a phoenix shaped birthmark on her body, therefore, it was predicted that she is the Phoenix Star. At present, she is an important person and is under the protection of the Heavenly Sun Sect.”
“Oh?”
Xuwu Immortal Lord replied thoughtfully: “However, as far as I know, hasn’t Old Man Tianji’s disciple Mo Chen been given orders to go and protect the Phoenix Star? Is he by the woman’s side?”
“I’ve not heard anything about that. As far as I know, Nalan Mo Chen’s whereabouts are erratic, and even his own family have difficulty locating him. Right now, no one knows where he has gone.”
