Chapter 419: Past-Life Betrothal! The Bright Red Wedding Robe! I Appreciate Your Kind Intentions, Fellow Daoist!
Xiao Ran’s face darkened; despair crept into her heart. What horrors might follow after falling into the hands of this old master of Gu arts was unbearable to imagine.
Ji Bochang’s smile spread freely across his face. “Old man of the Southern Mountain, as expected of you, splendid idea! When I return to the mountain, I’ll be sure to recommend you,” he said.
The old man did everything he could to curry favor with this roaming enforcer of Mount Youming. He produced a porcelain vial from his bosom containing a white powder that amplified the potency of Gu insects, an extremely precious substance.
“She’s just a poisoned little wench, I’ll fetch her right away for you, Young Master Ji!” he intoned, reciting a charm.
The powder suddenly burst from the vial, and the bright poison insects immediately grew frenzied.
Xiao Ran’s face went pale; her hands and feet felt icy cold.
Boom!
A terrifying divine fire erupted and incinerated those bright venomous insects outright.
“Do you really think that you’re that impressive?” a tall young Daoist sneered, a long saber hanging at his side.
He appeared out of nowhere in front of Xiao Ran, and with a single move reduced the Gu insects to nothing.
The old man from Southern Mountain was shocked and involuntarily took a few steps back. What kind of illusionary appearance was this?
Seeing this, Ji Bochang’s eyes had an icy glare. The barbarian head suddenly shot toward Li Yanchu with terrifying speed.
