Chapter 380 - Surrender (2/2)

In reality, there were 6,000 nobles and ten tih they vastly outnu in isolation and were trained to be obedient and act as tools for the nobles They were even proud of their subservience, and when their etin a national crisis forced the people sent into the Flower Soul Forest to capture Old Man Mu to think of all sorts of solutions They uan Ru and Maid Lotus, therefore when the toe frouan Ru had ible as well; she had divulged her real intentions much too early to shi+li Molo Once he heard that the torance by accident to ‘capture the evil man’, he had some measure of how to handle them

shi+li Molo had seen the outside world before and was different from the obedient slaves and simple-minded nobles in his nation He was the rance and had established contact with the outside world multiple times in the past As such, he had cultivated a slick nature

Shangguan Ru felt guilty because Old Man Mu had regained his powers due to her ain, and as of now, he had already taken dozens of lives She felt that their death was her burden to bear

Luckily, she did not express her guilt in shi+li Molo’s presence If she had done so, the Land of Fragrance would not have pleaded with her for help; he would have uilt and made her proactively seek to atone for her blunder

Both woreed to help hirance

Old Man Mu loved the ga with his pursuers Even so, he waswhile trying to regain more of his powers He surfaced occasionally butthe opportunity to kill one or two nobles before going into hiding again

Shangguan Ru gathered all the disciples previously trained by the Chief Priest, and there were ive the and let them join in the hunt for Old Man Mu, but it ended up terribly bad

The disciples were co of the slaves and they were extremely obedient; they would even not hesitate to take their own lives should they be ordered to do so This was their weakness too, however Without any orders, they dared not act, and no uan Ru tried to et theuan Ru went to shi+li Molo for help

The old slick businessuan Ru’s request “Since they’re slaves, how can they act on their own accord? Wouldn’t that be rebellion? As long as you two heroines can get rid of this proble to offer 10000 taels of gold as a reward”

This incident sowed the seeds of discord which led to huge differences between the two of theuan Ru stayed in the Land of Fragrance, the ht with the country All of the nation’s wealth was concentrated in the hands of the nobles There were only about 6000 of them, but they ruled over the tens of thousands of slaves like Gods The slaves were taught to be obedient the moment they entered this world, and were extremely subservient to their masters; they dared not even mention their masters’ na many of the nobles, were not even aware that there were people of different ethnicities and nations living in this world They treated Old Man Mu as a deed from the forest and the two heroines as woodland fairies

Only about two to three hundred rance before, knew the true identities of the three visitors, but they kept it a strict secret a to speak a word of it to their fellow countrymen

The heroines were soon placed under surveillance, and every person they met or spoke to had to report their encounter in detail after that As such, Shangguan Ru and Maid Lotus became unwelcome visitors Wherever they went, the locals would scatter away, avoiding theue

This ly difficult

Old Man Mu regained all of his powers after 20 days, and he began to satiate his bloodlust

Even so, he did not ed histhem and decided to take theuan Ru, as co, and he kept feeling that she would be suited to take over his mantle As for Maid Lotus, well, he felt that she was his female soulmate

To this end, every time he killed, Old Man Mu would leave a note behind There were a few times whereby he wrote it down on paper, but most of the tirass with the blood of his victims

The contents of his notes were about the same—it spoke of ‘the Way of Evil’

Occasionally he would even appear very close to their location while atte his Seven Magical Tones skill to broadcast his speech “There’s a limit to my patience I’ll only wait for seven days After that, I’ll kill you as well To be honest, I’ve never thought of taking in female disciples at all in the past I was even hesitant to receive male ones; I rejected all of Wildhorse’s requests Therefore, be secretly pleased, you two Iine if the three of us join forces, who could take us on? We’ll kill whoever ish to The Supre, the old Khan of Norland, the Es”

He did not uan Ru and Maid Lotus with his Seven Magical Tones but successfully won over many of the nobles in the city

A plot was thus building up behind the back of the two heroines

Maid Lotus would normally not have fallen for such a trap, but her pride and aloofness rance, who seeht, as she and Shangguan Ru tracked Old Man Mu to the old royal palace, neither of them were suspicious in the least

The royal palace was already uninhabited and the forarden had been converted into a maze very sier in scale and there was no Chief Priest residing in it

The Land of Fragrance, under the leadershi+p of shi+li Molo, surrendered to Old Man Mu They illing to accept his Way of Evil and lusted after world do, as this would allow them to forcibly enslave uan Ru and Maid Lotus were imprisoned, a suspicious piece of news came from the forest After shi+li Molo checked its credibility a few times, he finally confir, was drawing near to the border of the Land of Fragrance

Old Man Mu was eager to ain and was ready for a titanic clash ain, this time with an army of a few thousand ility and hue, what sort of evil person a had the nurance, which he had just subdued, was useless in an actual fight As such, Old Man Mu decided to go into retreat—he wanted to master the Five Hole Earth Punch until it was flawless If heto fear even if Gu Shenwei brought 10,000arrives, you must keep him and his Great Snowmountain army here by hook or by crook Anyway, I will need to kill to master my technique If it’s not their lives I take, it shall be yours,” Old Man Mu ordered shi+li Molo He then prepared to find a place unknown to anyone else for his retreat

shi+li Molo was entirely captivated by the unshackled and bloodthirsty de “Yes” He then asked Old Man Mu, “What about the torace period was already over, and Old Man Mu had lost his passion of trying to take Shangguan Ru and Maid Lotus as his disciples “As you wish,” he replied, without even a little regret in his heart

shi+li Molo decided to sacrifice the tomen Their acts and words had infected a considerable nuood opportunity to let the indecisive slaves observe their fate
