Chapter 1130: Chapter 541: Fang Mu’s Puppet!_2

Fang Mu, who should have been in the team, was sitting leisurely by the tea table, sipping tea.

Shu Liangjun walked up to Fang Mu and softly said,

“Little Wood, the mimicry ability of that Evil Spirit under your command is truly powerful!”

“At first, when you suggested this, I was afraid we’d be exposed.”

“By the time we reached Thousand Ravine Ocean Trench, everyone had changed their appearances.”

“Even though the puppet’s temperament isn’t as outstanding as yours, someone who isn’t very familiar with you wouldn’t be able to detect it at all!”

Fang Mu, hearing this, laughed and said,

“Elder Shu, even if someone did notice something off, no one would deliberately investigate.”

Deliberate investigation is extremely impolite.

Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian, wishing to foster good relations, would never do such a thing.

The disciples under Wang Mi and the deputy heads of the Twelve Pavilions who follow Shui Miao would not do so either!

Actually, Shu Liangjun saying that a puppet was replacing him wasn’t quite accurate.

For this had a fundamental difference from a puppet.

Liu Xi did control that corpse transformed from his own body, but the method of speech and behavior of the controlled corpse were entirely consistent with his own.

Even Shui Miao would probably not notice anything unusual.

Of course, this was under the condition that there was no conflict.

This corpse controlled by Liu Xi couldn’t possibly have as many deep, intricate methods as he did.

Fang Mu didn’t do this because he was afraid that someone would target him during this operation.

Rather, he needed to meet with the Master of Nine Poisons in Thousand Ravine Ocean Trench.

Fang Mu wanted to turn the Master of Nine Poisons into his secret agent, and couldn’t possibly bring a host of Order Strong to meet him, or to help the master’s spouse purge the contaminants from his body.

Fang Mu and Shu Liangjun would secretly observe the changes in the entire situation.

If everything went smoothly, that body controlled by Liu Xi would help Fang Mu bring back that Wood Attribute Growth Type Secret Land.

As they say, the players are confused, but the spectators see clearly.

By adopting the stance of a spectator, Fang Mu could better understand the situation.

After the Master of Nine Poisons had gone to Thousand Ravine Ocean Trench, he, fearing that Fang Mu would take a long time to find him, deliberately contacted Lang Huan.

He informed Lang Huan of a location in Thousand Ravine Ocean Trench.

He hoped Lang Huan could convey this location to Fang Mu.

Initially, Lang Huan was unwilling to do Ning Hongshu this favor.

Negotiating repeatedly with Fang Mu over one issue would seem too nagging.

Through his interactions with Fang Mu, Lang Huan understood that Fang Mu wasn’t someone who liked to dawdle.

Despite his young age, Fang Mu dealt with issues or conducted transactions decisively and resolutely.

Lang Huan didn’t want to annoy Fang Mu over such a matter.

But Lang Huan couldn’t withstand Ning Hongshu’s persistent pleading, so he ended up relaying the location Ning Hongshu had given him to Fang Mu.

After all this, Lang Huan sighed.

Fang Mu had only agreed to meet Ning Hongshu, making no promises to her.

Lang Huan couldn’t be sure whether Fang Mu’s invitation for this meeting with Ning Hongshu was related to rescuing Jun Feng.

Lang Huan worried that Ning Hongshu, having raised her hopes, would ultimately be disappointed and offend Fang Mu.

Despite his young age, Fang Mu definitely had a temper.

Back in the Ancient Battlefield, Fang Mu didn’t hesitate to attack the Evil Heart Sect.

If a conflict arose between Ning Hongshu and Fang Mu, his role as the middleman would become difficult!

Indeed, just as Lang Huan had assumed, Ning Hongshu’s face was filled with anticipation.

Her alluring eyes sparkled once more. Standing next to Ning Hongshu was a figure not particularly tall.

This figure was wrapped in a black robe, appearing to be in his early twenties.

This face, which should have been full of vitality, was filled with exhaustion, and the furrowed brows indicated that this figure was enduring some sensation.

Looking at the expression on Ning Hongshu’s face, this figure gently sighed.

“Hongshu, it was initially I who wanted to cling to life, but now, I’ve come to terms with it.”

“But this matter has become your obsession.”

“Life and death are predestined, and for a Beast Master, regardless of their strength, to die a natural death is already rare.”

“I have had your company in this life, and that is enough for me; I desire nothing else.”

“Also, don’t be too hard on yourself!”

“For you, I will live as long as possible, each day to its fullest, spending each day well with you!”

Ning Hongshu, upon hearing the words, initially wanted to reach out and hold Jun Feng’s hand.

But thinking of Jun Feng’s current physical condition, Ning Hongshu quickly withdrew her hand.

Ning Hongshu was well aware of how much pain Jun Feng was in, as he was constantly struggling with the Cancer Control Beast inside his body.

This confirmed Jun Feng’s promise to live one more day for her sake, spending each day by her side.

Years ago, Ning Hongshu would have wished for Jun Feng to do so.

But now, rather than Jun Feng’s company, Ning Hongshu wished even more not to see Jun Feng suffer!

“Feng, Master Qixing’s proactive contact with me certainly won’t be in vain.”

“I know that Qixing’s search for me may not necessarily be related to your treatment.”

“Even if Qixing has no such intention and wants to make another deal with me.”

“We can use this opportunity to earnestly request Master Qixing’s help!”

“Having a chance is better than none.”

“You are still willing to stay by my side even in such a state, how could I not do my utmost for you?”

“I’ve already notified Ah Huan of the location, it’s really not suitable for you to move.”

“Let’s just wait here for Master Qixing’s arrival!”

Seeing Ning Hongshu’s resolution, Jun Feng did not say much.

Firstly, there simply was no way in this world to substantially increase one’s lifespan.

Even if some spiritual materials could extend human life, Qixing would certainly keep them treasured.

Even a Saint Creator has their day of lifespan exhaustion.

Such life-saving materials would never be given to a stranger they had never even met before.

As for getting Qixing’s help to remove the pollutants in his body, that might be possible.

But once Qixing did that, Jun Feng could hardly imagine what kind of price Ning Hongshu would have to pay!

Jun Feng was all too aware of his own physical condition.

To remove the pollutants from his body and preserve his remaining lifespan.

The costs incurred would mean that after his death, Ning Hongshu would have to work for Qixing for over ten years.

What Jun Feng worried most about now was Ning Hongshu’s deep feelings for him.

If he really passed away, Ning Hongshu would not be able to accept it, immersed in sorrow and unable to extricate herself.

It was at this moment that Jun Feng suddenly felt the space in front of him lock down.

Then, the spatial energy rippled out.

A figure, old in face but tall in stature, emerged from the space.

Neither Jun Feng nor Ning Hongshu had ever met Shu Liangjun,

but neither mistook Shu Liangjun for Qixing.

Firstly, Lang Huan had explicitly told Ning Hongshu that it would be Jianmu, a disciple of Qixing, who was coming.

Ning Hongshu had never met Jianmu, but she had a deep impression of him,

because Qixing had specifically mentioned Jianmu at the gathering in Contract Garden.

This clearly indicated the important place Jianmu held in Qixing’s heart.

Secondly, Shu Liangjun’s strength had not reached the level of condensing a Dharma Aspect.

Others might not notice, but as an Order peak level strongman, Jun Feng could sense it.

Upon completing the teleportation, Shu Liangjun had already spotted Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng.

Shu Liangjun, who did not know beforehand that Fang Mu was to meet with Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng, became immediately cautious.

He raised his hand and pointed towards the space behind him, and the leaves of Kong Zhiluoman immediately sealed the space.

Shu Liangjun wanted to first verify the identities of Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng.

From Jun Feng’s body, Shu Liangjun sensed a dangerous feeling.

Shu Liangjun has always trusted his intuition as a strongman.

Once he discovered that Ning Hongshu and Jun Feng harbored ill intentions, Shu Liangjun would teleport Fang Mu back to Mountain Manor through Kong Zhiluoman immediately.

Just to mention, given the current situation in Thousand Ravine Ocean Trench,

Shu Liangjun felt immense pressure to protect Fang Mu by himself.

Ning Hongshu pulled Jun Feng forward a step and clasped her hands in greeting towards Shu Liangjun.

“May I know if this is Sir Jianmu who graces us with his presence?”

“My name is Ning Hongshu, entitled ‘Master of Nine Poisons’.”

“I hope to have the honour of meeting Sir Jianmu in person!”

In the Human World, there are only so many Grandmaster Creators; Shu Liangjun had not seen Ning Hongshu but had heard of her name.
