The five women ere nearly burnt alive were still in a state of partial unconsciousness They could eat, walk, sit and sleep, but had to be attended to for everything they did Once their servants left, they were no different from zombies; they had no reaction to other people and objects

The rerance were kept as hostages in the Great Snowmountain’s military camp They were also surprised at the condition of the five women One of theon King, “They should have recovered by now Have they not taken the antidote to the Indra fragrance?”

The nobles did not dare to speak to the Dragon King unless he had questions for theuage and also partly because out of fear Even if they speak, they would carefully consider their words before talking

This held a lot of rance? Antidote? Why did no one speak of this before? Hand theer “These people appear to be very cooperative after their surrender, but none of them took the initiative to tell rumpily

In truth, Gu Shenwei had to bear so informed about the cure He had never paid ya and the Shangguan half-brothers in his entire aruan Ru and Maid Lotus were The other soldiers did not know that the two ladies were people he cared deeply about, rance

The nine tribal chiefs started to look at each other as they heard the Dragon King’s words being translated into their local language Eventually, it was the tribal chief who could speak Central Plains Chinese who speaked up shakily, “The antidote… is not with us The Indra fragrance has been kept by the shi+li family all this while”

It just happened that the master of the shi+li faon King on the altar

Other than the nine tribal chiefs, there were many nobles in the camp of the Great Snowmountain, but none of theave theated Gu Shenwei quickly got to know that the shi+li family had fled when their master was killed All of them escaped from the scene; there were tens of thousands of people present then and only a few noticed the Fanyun, the chief of Canopy Peak, with a sroup of men into the city to seize the et the antidote
