Chapter 667: I Doubt Anyone But Mobai
It had been four days and they had searched everywhere in Dongshu Nation without any news at all. Now the manpower had been deployed to Xi Yuan Nation for the search. But there was still no news, and he could not use the natal contract to return to her side.
Damn it, who made the natal contract? Why couldn’t Lan’er summon him at any time and he would be there? Why must Lan’er be in danger in order for him to use the natal contract and be instantly summoned to Lan’er’s side?
Damn fool!
Si Mobai swore, but he had no other way except to send people to constantly look for Feng Tianlan.
If he found out who had used spatial rupture to separate him and Lan’er, he would absolutely tear that person apart!
The next day, Feng Tianlan took Azurite and White Cutie-pie along to travel on the bypath. But there were constant assassination attempts by killers. A wave of them would come and die. There was never any nonsense. They wanted to kill her the moment they saw her. With every wave, she would interrogate once. And each time the answer she received was that Mobai had wanted to kill her.
“Miss, who the hell has been trying to assassinate you in His Highness’ name?” asked Azurite as she took care of assassins’ bodies. It was the 11th assassination attempt. Each time, Dark Supremes and Earth Supremes showed up.
It would have been nothing for Miss if it were once or twice. But there had been too many times. Miss would also exhaust her Spiritual Force and be mentally fatigued. It would be easy to have an accident.
Feng Tianlan shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
At first, she thought of Shen Yunya but from the several assassination attempts, it did not seem to be the case.
If Shen Yunya found out that she was still alive, she was likely to do it herself, or send a Heavenly Supreme to assassinate her. She absolutely would not give her the opportunity to live.
“Miss, you must believe His Highness. It’s definitely not His Highness who’s sent men to assassinate you,” said Azurite, looking at Feng Tianlan with great concern.
She could choose not to believe it if it had been one or two assassinations. But with dozens of assassinations, it was hard for her to believe.
Nonetheless, she believed in His Highness’s love for Miss. His Highness would never send those men.
Feng Tianlan looked at Azurite who was more worried than she was and gently smiled while answering, “I know, you can rest assured. I doubt anyone but Mobai.”
Azurite had to say it once every assassination. She was more nervous and afraid than she was that it was Mobai who sent men to kill her.
Azurite nodded vigorously with relief. As long as Miss still believed in His Highness, then nothing else mattered.
Feng Tianlan looked up at the intersection in front. Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge was inscribed on a stone monument. Going through from here, they would reach the boundary between Xi Yuan Nation and Dongshu Nation, which could shorten the journey by half a month’s time.
If it had been ordinary times, she would not have come to Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge, because the Dark-Clawed Eagles inside were very fierce and bloodthirsty. Moreover, they loved to eat human beings. If one did not have a certain strength and wanted to cross the Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge, one would only be courting disaster. Furthermore, time would be wasted.
But now she could go, because there was White Cutie-pie, the big white cat which was the so-called king of all beasts. With it around, all beasts worshipped and obeyed it, so she could walk unhindered through Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge.
Therefore, Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge became her shortcut back to Dongshu Nation. The herbal ingredients she was looking for the Pill Medicine were here too, so she had to come.
Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge had towering trees which blocked out the sky, leading to a somewhat dark interior in the dense forest. However, there were not many Dark-Clawed Eagles on the edge, because mercenary corps would come in to collect medicine, catch Spiritual Beasts, seek Spiritual Crystals and a variety of tasks.
Generally, the mercenary corps only went in a little deeper and would never go to the center, where the Eagle King was. It would be courting death.
“Miss, the Face Changing Elixir requires the tears of the Eagle King,” Azurite said.
