Mo Jiuli’s eyes flickered as she glanced at the old woman who failed in artifact refinement and caused the death of Madam Bai Luotian. Then she first went to the cages of the two old men, looked at them without speaking, and waved her hand to turn their cages into ashes...
Mo Jiuli’s divine sense continuously monitored the old woman and the other old man, discovering that neither showed any emotional change. Mo Jiuli walked once again to the cage of the middle-aged man. Before she could make a move, the old woman opened her eyes and looked at Mo Jiuli, asking, "Little girl, can you let me out first? I don’t want to be trapped here anymore!"
Then the other old man also opened his eyes, looking at Mo Jiuli and said, "I want to get out too!"
Mo Jiuli smiled in response but said nothing. Instead, she looked at the two old men she had already freed and asked, "Why aren’t you leaving?"
"We won’t leave. His leg is injured and he can’t walk. Even if we escape, Bai Luotian will find us again. We have nowhere to go!" One of the old men gave a bitter smile and said, looking at the other old man beside him.
"Senior brother, it’s my fault for dragging you into this!" The other old man said painfully.
"Let me take a look at the wound!" Mo Jiuli walked over directly and crouched down, looking at the old man and asking.
"This? Little girl, it’s no use!" The old man said hesitantly.
"It’s fine. I am an Alchemist!" Mo Jiuli said calmly.
"Junior fellow apprentice, just let the little girl take a look. It can’t make it any worse!" The other old man smiled and said.
"Alright." The old man nodded and lifted his pant leg, revealing his right leg, which was entirely black. It was clear that the poison had been forced into his right leg. Not to mention walking, even moving was difficult.
"What is this?" Mo Jiuli looked up surprised at the old man and asked.
"My junior fellow apprentice did this to save me. We were both poisoned severely by Bai Luotian and imprisoned here, but to save me, my junior fellow apprentice forced the poison in my body along with his own into his right leg using a secret technique. Otherwise, we both might not have survived until now; we would have died after being imprisoned for a hundred years..." The old man beside him looked at the pitch-black right leg with tearful eyes and said.
"Master, they are people of the Netherworld. Please save them!" At this time, Xiaotang’s voice echoed in Mo Jiuli’s mind.
"How do you know?" Mo Jiuli asked in her heart.
"Because the secret technique he used should originate from the Netherworld! If you don’t believe me, Master, you could quietly probe them with Netherworld Power! They should have hidden their Netherworld Power inside, but as soon as your Netherworld Power enters their bodies, you will notice it!" Xiaotang thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try!" Mo Jiuli replied.
"Let me examine it. It might hurt later, but no matter what, you must endure it..." Mo Jiuli said, looking at the old man.
The old man, although unsure of Mo Jiuli’s intention, still nodded and said, "Don’t worry, this leg has long lost all feeling!"
"Alright then, I’ll begin!" Mo Jiuli smiled and said.
"Okay!" The old man said, not concerned.
In their view, the leg was beyond salvation because the secret technique was unsolvable, and so was the poison. How could anyone have a solution? It was simply impossible!
