1440 Netherys Danger (1/2)
That startled the maids, and they all turned to look at him in horror. ”Who are you?!” asked one of them. They were tasked to guard Er Ha, so when they saw Bu Fang, they raised their vigilance immediately. Although they were maids, they were guards in essence.
Er Ha's voice came to an abrupt stop, and Bu Fang saw him then. He was tied to a bed, unable to move, and even his aura was sealed. Sensing the familiar aura, he suddenly became excited.
”Bu Fang young man? Is that you? I know it's you because you have the smell of spicy strips! Don't be shy. Come here and let me have a look at you!”
Er Ha kept yelling, causing the maids to raise their vigilance further. 'Is this his accomplice?' they thought. Suddenly, their pupils constricted because they felt a terrible force pressing on them like a great mountain, making it difficult to move. At the same time, an oppressive aura made their souls shiver.
”Who are you?!” bellowed one of the maids, who was a Demigod and also the leader of the others.
Tap, tap, tap.
A clear sound of footsteps rang out as a lean figure slowly emerged at the door, his hands clasped behind his back. The maids all turned their eyes and fixed on the figure. The Demigod maid's pupils constricted, and she unleashed her divine sense, trying to break free of Bu Fang's restriction.
”Don't fight back,” Bu Fang said lightly. His divine sense moved slightly and poured forth like a spinning wheel that could crush everything.
With a rumble, the Demigod maid fell to the ground and could not even lift a finger. Bu Fang's divine sense was far greater than that of a Demigod. The same thing happened to all the maids in the room. None of them could move.
Bu Fang walked over and came in front of the bed, looking indifferently at Er Ha, who was tied to the bed. With a thought, the invisible Divine flame emerged, and the ropes carved with runes immediately broke apart.
Er Ha hurriedly struggled free and sat up from the bed. He flexed his body, then looked seriously at Bu Fang and said, ”You've come at the right time, Bu Fang young man! We've got to save Nethery!”
”Where is she?” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes.
No sooner had he said that than Er Ha bolted out of the room. Bu Fang followed. When he walked out of the room, his divine sense suddenly shook like a bell. A humming sound echoed out. The maids felt as if their heads were hit by a tremendous force, and they all passed out in an instant.
Er Ha walked through the mansion at a very fast speed. Moments later, he led Bu Fang to the front of a room. ”This is it!” he said, pointing at the room. ”This is where Nethery is being held!”
However, there was no one inside the room. Er Ha's face fell when he saw that. ”Impossible… Nethery was here! I saw it with my own eyes!” He furrowed his brows. ”Could it be that the people of the Mo Family had already taken her elsewhere?” he murmured.
It was very likely. Nethery was a Cursed Goddess, and she had a cursed body. Since the Mo Family wanted to deprive her of her curse power, they would naturally attach great importance to her. They must have taken her elsewhere.
”Let's go to the banquet,” Bu Fang said indifferently.
Since Nethery was not here, then he could only find her at the banquet.
…
The banquet was located at the Mo Family's guest house. This was where the family used to hold most of the banquets. Situated beside a man-made lake, the guest house was surrounded by excellent scenery.
The Mo Family's residence occupied a vast land. After all, it was one of the three top aristocratic families in the Divine Dynasty's capital. Its wealth and power were unimaginable by ordinary people.
Mo Hen, the second young master of the Mo Family, was not the heir, and his talent in cultivation was nowhere near as good. But as the one in charge of the family's business empire, his status was about on the same level as the heir.
Recently, he was very excited because he had caught a Cursed Goddess. The power in a Cursed Goddess was very mysterious. Curse… was a strange power. Some said that the Law of Curse was a top Law, but others claimed that it could be considered as the supreme Law of the Universe.
As long as he stripped the curse power in that Cursed Goddess and merged it into his body, he would have a high chance to comprehend the Law of Curse. By that time, his status in the Mo Family would be loftier than the heir!
Therefore, Mo Hen held this banquet. He wanted to let the nobles in the capital know that he would soon become a noble existence whose status is beyond that of the Mo Family's heir! Once this news spread, he would certainly become the next person in charge of the family!
Mo Hen was a very handsome man. With a wine glass in hand, he was drinking toasts with his guests. His social circle did not consist of heirs of the aristocratic families, but second-rank sons of those families.
