Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
In the arms of this cold and thin middle-aged man, a half-naked enchanting woman nestled docilely beside him. Her sexy figure was exposed, but she didn’t fear strangers’ gazes. Instead, she moaned softly along with Elder Ghost’s teasing hands.
The two men in black didn’t dare to look up nor even take a glimpse. It was as if they were afraid that they would get into some kind of trouble.
Whereas, the wan-faced Feng Jiu watched in a daze with just sufficient fear. At first glance, she’s just a scared young man who didn’t know how to react.
When she saw Ghost Elder’s bloodthirsty eyes took her measure, she didn’t even flinch and only gulped her saliva. “Where is this? I, I want to go home.”
“Go home? Hahaha…” Ghost Elder seemed to hear something funny and let out a laugh. “Once into the King of Hell’s Palace, you are all little imps under my control. Go home? Hehe, that’s wishful thinking.”
After finished saying this in a cold and sinister voice, he suddenly shot a stream of air at Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu wanted to return the attack, however, she forced herself to bear it. Because the stream of air hit her body, she instinctively let out “Ah!” When her mouth was slightly open, the opponent shot a pill into her mouth.
“Blargh!”
She choked her throat with both hands as if she wanted to vomit out the drug. When she stooped down to retch, she caught a glimpse of Ghost Elder’s waist card that had fallen to the ground. Her eyes shrank for a split second at the sight and then covered the peculiarity in her eyes.
“Take him out. Those people outside will teach him the rules.” Ghost Elder waved away with a squint. He paid no more attention to them, but teased the woman in his arms, prompting her coquettish laughter repeatedly.
When they got outside, the two men in black pushed Feng Jiu into the square and turned around to return and gave a report.
When the two left, Feng Jiu feigned a cough, vomited out the pill under her tongue and transferred it to her hand. Although she didn’t swallow it, she knew that the pill was a highly toxic substance meant to control these people. Although her body was immune to poisons, it was better not to take it. She also wanted to study what kind of poison it was.
While walking in the square, the light was dim because it was not dawn yet. She couldn’t make out those people’s faces clearly because they were either covered with mud or dried blood. But, to be sure, they were not to be trifled with. Those men were like wild beasts. Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty aura as if they would rush forward and tear her up if she dared to take a step closer.
She found an empty corner and sat hugging her legs. As she looked at the surroundings as well as the people around her, examining the scene and took another look at these people, she suddenly understood what this place was.
In this square, except several of those men who were devilry cultivators, most of them were like herself. The words engraved on the waist card that she had seen at first glance were ‘Shadow Night Palace’.
The Shadow Night Palace was the one who sent people to destroy her Phoenix Empire and also crippled Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s father. This force was all over the upper continent. Not only did it consist of devilry cultivators, but also loose cultivators. Unexpectedly, this Treasure Gathering Pavilion was one of the Shadow Night Palace’s forces.
