Chapter 280: One Step Too Slow
Chapter 280
He Zhiran swept around and waved to collect all the items into his space. Then the two returned the same way and ran to the private treasury behind the imperial treasury.
That was where He Zhiran had to go because the black Southern Pearl might be there.
Using the same method, they entered the private treasury without hesitation and moved everything out empty.
Next, their goal was to continue releasing the gu worm from the space to find the gu master's whereabouts.
All the way hiding sneakily, the two followed the gu worm to the study room.
The gu worm kept hovering around the study, obviously trying to get in.
At this time, the Emperor of Southern Frontier had already returned to the bedroom to rest. There were only two guards at the door of the study room, and they looked half asleep.
Using the same method again, the two guards were dealt with. Mo Jiuye went up to open the large door of the study room.
As soon as a gap appeared in the large door, the gu worm drilled in.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran also quickly entered and casually closed the door.
I saw the gu worm bypass the screen and fly towards a bookshelf, wandering around again.
Mo Jiuye guessed that this should also be some kind of secret entrance.
While staring at the gu worm, he worked with He Zhiran to start looking for the switch to enter the secret room in the room.
In the secret room, Mr. Si Meng thought more and more something was wrong.
He had just discovered that it might be the traces of those drug dealers and Mo Family Six Lang, and more than one hour had passed.
If Mo Family Six Lang had died there, the gu worm looking for the mother gu should have come back long ago with the speed of finding the mother gu.
He had been waiting outside the study for a long time just now, but did not see the gu worm come back.
This made him feel more and more uneasy in his heart.
In this case, unless the gu worm died, it would not take so long to fly back here.
If this was the case, the other party must also be a master of raising gu worms, and could even relieve the puppet gu worm.
In his understanding, there was no such master in the gu breeding world. Was it because he was poorly informed?
If there really was such a person who could catch his son gu worm, it would be easy as pie to find his location with the mother gu.
His body had not recovered yet. When he encountered danger and escaped just now, he used his inner power, and his body, which had recovered seven or eight parts, returned to its original state. If he met a master of gu breeding, he might not be able to deal with it.
Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly heard movement at the door of the secret room.
Mo Jiuye had successfully found the switch to the secret room. The bookshelf against the wall was slowly moving away.
Mr. Si Meng felt bad. This secret room was only known to the Emperor of Southern Frontier and Yun Li. Now Yun Li had been missing for a long time. The only person who knew about this place was the Emperor of Southern Frontier.
He could determine that the person who came to find him at this time would never be the Emperor of Southern Frontier.
Because when he came back, he had already explained that he would practice qigong again in the next few days to heal his injuries. Even if the sky collapsed, he should not be disturbed.
He believed that the Emperor of Southern Frontier did not have the courage to come here rashly.
What’s more, there was an agreement between him and the Emperor of Southern Frontier that whenever the Emperor of Southern Frontier came, he would knock on the door panel three times the moment he opened the secret room door.
However, at this moment, the door of the secret room had obviously been opened, but he did not hear the sound of knocking on the door panel.
When he thought of this, Mr. Si Meng hurriedly stood up, carrying a package and ran towards the other direction of the secret room.
There was a passage there that could lead to the outside of the palace. It was just farther away from his hiding place. Most of the time, he would enter from the study room. If it wasn't an emergency, he wouldn't choose to leave from this passage.
The door of the secret room opened. Seeing the gap, the gu worm immediately flew in.
The two also strode to follow, but unfortunately, they were one step too late.
Seeing that there were still lights on in the gorgeous secret room, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both intended to observe it for a while.
In order not to let the gu worm fly away, Mo Jiuye put it back in the bottle again.
He Zhiran touched the bed, which was still a little warm.
"It feels still a little warm here. The person should have just left not long ago."
Mo Jiuye pointed in the direction the gu worm was about to fly to just now.
"There should be another exit over there."
He Zhiran waved to collect all the items in the secret room into the space.
Mo Jiuye released the gu worm again and chased it out.
Mr. Si Meng came out from the secret passage and faced the forest not far from the palace.
He had always been vigilant and worried that he might not be able to deal with it when he encountered danger due to his current physical condition.
He also thought that the only way for the gu breeding master to find him was through that gu worm.
After thinking twice, his own safety was the most important. Even though he escaped from the palace, he could not guarantee that he would always be safe in the future.
Finally, he made up his mind and released the mother gu from the porcelain bottle, and then chanted a few spells to make the gu worm that had entered Mo Jinye's body choose to commit suicide.
It had to be said that Mr. Si Meng's brain reacted very quickly. In order to ensure his own safety, he was willing to give up such a precious gu worm.
It should be known that the gu worm was raised by him in a special way since childhood, feeding it all kinds of poisons to eat, so as to use the person who was parasitized by the gu worm to control those drug dealers.
After a set of operations, Mr. Si Meng's painful expression was quite obvious.
There was no way. In the last year and a half, he felt nothing had gone well. The people who were sent to search for Mo Family Five Lang had not come back yet.
Similarly, there was no news from the people who went to investigate Mo Jiuye in the northwest.
Next July would be the deadline he swore to avenge Menger. Now there were still so many Mo family men wandering outside. Today he had lost a Mo Jinye again.
For a while, Mr. Si Meng's emotions were extremely low. At the same time, he secretly swore that he would send more people so as to achieve his goal.
He could no longer stay in Southern Frontier. Only Da Shun could allow him to be temporarily safe.
After collecting the mother gu into the porcelain bottle with a painful expression, Mr. Si Meng hurried towards Da Shun.
It had to be said that Mr. Si Meng’s decisiveness and ruthlessness temporarily preserved his life...
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye chased the gu worm to the woods.
The gu worm, which was flying fast chasing the mother gu, suddenly stopped, then flew towards a big tree and crashed into it.
"That’s bad. The gu worm is going to commit suicide." Mo Jiuye saw the anomaly and exclaimed, then rushed over immediately.
Unfortunately, his actions were still a step slower. The slender body of the gu worm had slammed heavily into the big tree and slowly slipped to the ground.
Such a situation was not unfamiliar to both of them.
They had not read the books about gu breeding in vain.
The two could determine that the man in white they met on the official road just now was the gu breeding master.
He was worried that the gu worm would find his whereabouts, so he chose to let the mother gu manipulate the gu worm to commit suicide. This way, it would be difficult to find him again.
Mo Jiuye gritted his teeth angrily, "He's really cunning."
He Zhiran also felt very regretful. They finally got a little new clue with great difficulty, and now it was cut off. From now on, finding the person holding the mother gu would be like looking for a needle in the sea.
Since it had already happened, she and Mo Jiuye did not consider it carefully enough, which led to this.
"Since this clue is broken, I believe he can be in the secret room of the study room of the Emperor of Southern Frontier. He must know his identity. Let's go back through the secret passage before dawn and interrogate the Emperor of Southern Frontier. At least it counts as some gain."
Mo Jiuye nodded, "That's all we can do now."
Although the gu worm had committed suicide by hitting the tree, He Zhiran did not intend to let go of its corpse either.
It might come in handy later when making antidotes for those drug dealers in the space.
So she took the bottle from Mo Jiuye's hand and put the gu worm back in.
The two returned to the Southern Frontier Imperial Palace by the original road.
Mo Jiuye took her straight to the bedroom of the Emperor of Southern Frontier.
