Chapter 2865: Was He Protecting Himself From Someone?
Gu Xijiu was there early and did not spot Di Fuyi yet. She felt a little guilty about the way she had treated him, so she decided to retrieve the Devil Resisting Herb for him first so that they could enter the Devil Kingdom at once when he arrived.
The Devil Resisting Herb was very precious, but with money, it was easily accessible. Gu Xijiu thought that it would be just like a regular shopping day, but little had she known that every piece of Devil Resisting Herb was already sold out almost everywhere in the city.
Everyone told her the same thing - "All Devil Resisting Herbs had been bought by a mysterious client just two days ago."
The amount of money offered by the mysterious client was rather remarkable. Therefore, the whole deal went down without any hassle. None of the businessmen hesitated when it came to making good money.
Gu Xijiu could tell that something was not quite right. Nevertheless, it did not change the fact that she still needed the Devil Resisting Herb for Di Fuyi, which was still nowhere to be found at the moment.
Based on her vast knowledge, she knew that the Devil Resisting Herb could be found on a mountain in the vicinity, but the path to get there was perilous. Only people with the power of a Mighty Immortal could enter and collect the herbs.
However, since the Devil Resisting Herb was unavailable in the marketplace, she reckoned that the collectors had exhausted the supply up in the mountain as well. Otherwise, they would have collected enough herbs to replenish the ones that were sold. But searching the markets would seem even more futile for now.
Gu Xijiu carefully weighed her options and decided that she should still venture into the mountain for the herb. After all, the mountain was not too far away from the Devil Kingdom - only a few hundred miles. Also, she was equipped with immunity against the devil aura and could teleport. Therefore, the journey would not take long.
