Chapter 225: Chapter 144 Finally Free

He indeed belongs to Fengtian Prefecture, and his position is lofty. Ning Xiaoxian sighed to herself, thinking that if she had brought him into the God Demon Prison a step earlier, her journey ahead would have been much easier. After all, it is Fengtian Prefecture itself that is searching the entire Feng Province for Wen Liangyu and her Demon Sect. Perhaps the order was even issued by Miluo!

One must admit, her wild guess had actually hit the mark!

"Report the current situation." Miluo closed his eyes again, adopting a posture ready to listen. Only Ning Xiaoxian knew that this fellow might still be weak and prone to stumbling, afraid of letting others notice his weakened state, thus he was stalling for time.

This confirmed that her previous strategy was right. He really did not wish to reveal his state of weakness to his subordinates.

Is it all right for this mortal young girl to disclose the information directly? Da Zi glanced hesitantly at Ning Xiaoxian, only to hear Miluo hum softly through his nose: "Hmm?"

He was exceptionally handsome, and even with his eyes closed, he sparked wild fantasies among fujoshi. However, when Da Zi heard his hum, she felt as if she was submerged in ice-cold water, sending a shiver down her spine, and she quickly said, "We have already dispatched people to search the entire Feng Province, but we haven’t found any trace of Wen Liangyu. Even those who assisted Wen Liangyu haven’t been seen!" She stumbled over her words, "This subordinate suspects—suspects that he may have already left Feng Province. Young Master, should we expand the search area?"

"You suspect?" He repeated in a bland tone, causing Da Zi to lower her head, not daring to make a sound.

"The data on that girl helping Wen Liangyu, has it been completely gathered?"

"Yes! She is but a mortal, possessing no Spiritual Power, yet she is full of mysteries." As she spoke, remembering the strange mortal woman by Young Master’s side, she couldn’t help but take a glance at Ning Xiaoxian, only to see her disciplined focus as if she wasn’t listening at all, maintaining a calm and collected demeanor.

"...Her name is Ning Xiaoxian, who went to the government office to report the abduction by a demon in the city that day. She was accompanied by the young widow Tan Qinghe and her son from Rock City. Afterwards, Tan Qinghe moved to the outskirts to live, but after searching the outskirts these past few days, the trail goes cold, as if someone deliberately erased her tracks. The job done was clean and without leaving behind any spider silk or horse tracks."

That’s great, Sister Tan is safe, Ning Xiaoxian relieved some of the worry in her heart. The one who erased the tracks must be Wen Liangyu, who, after having focused on fleeing for twenty years, must have become a Grandmaster in both tracking and counter-tracking, and it wouldn’t be difficult for him to disappear together with Tan Qinghe and her son from this small Rock City.

Da Zi continued: "This subordinate has discovered that Ning Xiaoxian had also appeared at the mutual market, selling Foundation Establishment Pills of exceptional effect in the official recommendation area, as well as another Miracle Medicine, the Soul Reviving Guide." She took out a Jade Bottle from her bosom and presented it with both hands to Miluo, but saw him shake his head and had to retract it, "Her Foundation Establishment Pills could increase the Foundation Establishment success rate by fifty percent. The sale on the first day even caused Loose Cultivators to scramble for them, forcing the recommendation area to resort to a ticketing system for the sale. Later days, they simply marked a fixed price, and each day they were sold out."

"Merely Foundation Establishment Pills are nothing extraordinary, as for this Soul Reviving Guide in the bottle." She paused and continued, "That is truly a miraculous Elixir unheard of before, as long as the person taking the pill still breathes, they could come back to life, and instantly be as vigorous as a dragon, with their battle strength not only undiminished but increased. Yet it will deduct fifteen years of lifespan. This Elixir is priced at more than a thousand Spirit Stones, which is very cheap considering its effects."

Miluo nodded: "These aren’t medicines that a mortal could refine. Behind her there is an expert, and this person does not care much about the price of medicines, otherwise, the selling price would be ten times higher." He and Changtian, although having never met, just from the Elixir could infer that there is a capable person by Ning Xiaoxian’s side. However, the two of them are not careless about the price; Ning Xiaoxian is baffled, while Changtian has been dead too long and completely out of touch with the current prices of medicine!

"This bottle originally contained two Soul Reviving Guide pills; it was acquired from those who bought the medicine. Before coming here, someone had used one pill; it is unsure if it really deducts lifespan, but the life-saving effect is immediate and obvious!"

Ning Xiaoxian felt a chill in her heart as she listened. The people who bought the Soul Reviving Guide were independents; how did Fengtian Prefecture find out about them and get the Soul Reviving Guide back from them? Such prompt access to information and incredible operational efficiency highlighted the difficulty in dealing with this organization.

From what she said, this banshee severely wounded innocent humans (or demons) to the brink of death to test the efficacy of the medicine. Since she’s so ruthless, as her direct superior, what kind of methods would Miluo use against his enemies? If they knew that "Ning Xiaoxian" was standing right before them, how many ways could they come up with to torture her, to extort information about Wen Liangyu’s whereabouts?
