Although there were spies at the border but they were much less than here. Most of the spies could stay outside the palace if they wanted to go into seclusion. There were at most four or five guards outside the palace.
Since he was going into closed door cultivation, he could make an excuse that he did not see anyone. At that time, Nan Ge would be able to cover it up a little.
"But …" Nan Ge was still a little worried, "Every time we go to the border, there will be a Heavenly Ranked Physician, and he is always one of my trusted aides. Even if my High Lord can hide his fake injuries from me, it won't be able to hide from the doctors."
Pausing for a moment, Nan Ge then continued: "Furthermore, that Vicious Beasts does not have much Seventh Rank, how can it make Fox Queen believe that it could injure you?"
Forget about Seventh Rank spirit beasts, even the Guardian Beasts and Five-star Flaming Tiger s wouldn't be able to harm High Lord, right?
"So, in order to hide it from the doctor, I can only pretend to be doing it. I can only let the Seventh Rank spirit beast bite a few times." "When the time comes, you can tell Fox Queen that this sovereign's eyes have an illness that will cause me to be accidentally injured by the Seventh Rank Spirit Beast."
This reason sounded a bit far-fetched, but he could still make people believe in him.
This time, he had to go to the Profound Yin Empire. After all, the two hidden spies he had placed beside Mo Yu all belonged to him, and they worked together from the inside out. They would definitely be able to capture Mo Yu, but before he went, the two hidden spies could not be revealed in front of Mo Yu.
Thus, he had to hurry there as fast as possible.
"This... This is too risky. " Nan Ge bit his lower lip, feeling a bit worried.
"There's no other way. This sovereign has urgent matters to attend to in the Humans." Yun Qian continued to instruct, as if he could not wait any longer, "After a while, let's head to the border!"
"But, those Vicious Beasts may not appear today." Nan Ge didn't know what to do for a moment.
Yun Qian, however, did not mind at all. "If they don't come out, this sovereign will lure them out!"
Nan Ge let out a small sigh. It seemed that High Lord was serious this time, although she was curious as to why High Lord wanted to go to the Humans, she did not dare to ask too much.
Poison Sect, Tempest Pavilion.
Su Xiruo casually sat on the seat of honor, playing with the Profound Ice Stone that he had just plundered, and was in a good mood immediately.
For some reason, when she thought of Yun Qian's defeated appearance, she felt exceptionally happy.
The only medicine left to cure the poison was the missing Herba Phellodendri. It was not even recorded on the Poison Book itself, so where could she get the whereabouts of the Herba Phellodendri?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Han Ye's voice from outside: "High Lord, can I come in?"
Su Xiruo withdrew his Profound Ice Stone and said indifferently: "Come in."
With the High Lord's permission, Han Ye gently pushed open the door and entered the room, "High Lord, a new disciple from the Five Poisons Pavilion has arrived."
"Didn't I already say that it's good that you're in charge of this matter? For a new disciple to come, do you also want to report this to me?" Su Xiruo said in a casual tone, he did not mind at all.
"This disciple is a bit special." Han Ye then explained, "He said that he was an old acquaintance of yours, and this subordinate has secretly probed, but he's actually a Spirit Sovereign."
"Spirit Sovereign …" Her old acquaintances were probably also people from Mercenary Academy. Thinking about it, Su Xiruo casually asked, "Where is he?"
Han Ye slightly nodded his head, "Wait outside the door. As long as High Lord gives the order, this subordinate will let him come in to meet you!"
"Let him in." Su Xiruo was curious, just which old acquaintance had come to rely on its Poison Sect?
"Yes." So Han Ye went out and said to the person outside, "Go in, High Lord is waiting for you."
Su Xiruo lazily raised his head and casually glanced at the person who entered the room. Seeing that familiar face, he could not help but be surprised: "Senior Brother Long."
Su Xiruo never thought that it would actually be him!
The one who had come was Long Mochen, the former student of Mercenary Academy, and also the strongest student in the academy when Su Xiruo was at Mercenary Academy.
Su Xi remembered that a year and a half ago, Long Mo Chen was only a six star Spirit Lord at the Mercenary Academy. Now, he was a Spiritual Saint.
She tested the waters for a bit and discovered that not only had this guy's Spiritual Strength increased by a lot, his Toxicology had also become much stronger.
A year and a half ago, Long Mochen was already a low-level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master, but now he should already be a high-level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master!
"Poison Sovereign, long time no see." Long Mochen's attitude could be considered to be more respectful.
Previously, during the Mercenary Academy competition, he had lost to Su Xiruo who was lower ranked than him.
After Su Xiruo left, in the entire academy, he could not find a single decent opponent, and there was no point even after a long time. Thus, half a year after Su Xiruo left, he graduated from Mercenary Academy, and left that place from then onwards.
"Did you come here today to join our Five Poisons Pavilion?" Su Xiruo asked tentatively, thinking, it might not be that simple.
"I want to acknowledge you as my master." Long Mochen blurted out, not concealing his intentions.
Su Xiruo could not help but chuckle. "Take me as your master? Heh, not everyone can take me as their master. "
This fellow was already so confident that he would accept him personally?
Long Mochen said with a determined tone, "After I left the Mercenary Academy, I sought you out for an entire year. Later on, I heard that you were already a Poison Sovereign.
Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile: "Why are you so sure that my Toxicology can definitely teach you something?"
"Since you were able to defeat me a year and a half ago, whether it be in terms of strength or Toxicology, you should be above me." Long Mochen's attitude could be considered rather humble, after that, he directly knelt in front of Su Xiruo, "If Poison Sovereign is willing to accept you, Sir, you are willing to enter Poison Sect, and will not change for the rest of your life!"
Su Xiruo was shocked by his reaction and she could not help but cough awkwardly. "I say, Senior Brother Long, you're pretty good at Mercenary Academy, why do you need to come here?"
"I am already unable to find an opponent for Mercenary Academy, and this is not my next life's goal." Long Mochen's attitude was firm, "Furthermore, the Poison Sect has changed since long ago. I am willing to put down my identity as a mercenary and enter the Poison Sect!"
Su Xiruo let out a light sigh, "If it was just a temporary whim …"
"No." Long Mochen interrupted her, "I am not doing this on a whim, if Poison Sovereign does not trust me, then do not hesitate to use the parasite on me, if I have betrayed you, I am willing to die."
Su Xiruo could not help but hesitate, he thought, to think that there would be someone who took the initiative to request for him to be poisoned, such a ruthless person.
Although the Poison Sect from before were like fire and water, Jiang Lingye had already died a long time ago, and the relationship between his current Poison Sect and the Mercenary Academy had long since eased up.
This guy, no matter what, was still a Spirit Sovereign, it wasn't really a loss to accept a Spirit Sovereign into his Poison Sect!
However, Su Xiruo still had to intentionally keep them in suspense. "This sovereign can promise you that we can enter the Poison Sect."
Hearing that, Long Mochen's heart was immediately filled with joy, and he immediately expressed his thanks: "Thank you, High Lord!"
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank this sovereign." Su Xiruo interrupted him and changed the subject, "Although I permit you to enter Poison Sect, you will still have to pass the test if you want me to accept you as my disciple."
Long Mochen did not take the word "test" to heart. In his heart, he actually liked this kind of extremely challenging thing more.
"Ahem, this sovereign has not made up his mind yet." Su Xiruo said as he took out a prescription from his sleeve, "This Desolate Fruit is a Sixth Rank poison, this sovereign will give you some time, wait till you refine the Desolate Fruit first, then you can see me."
She actually wanted to first probe just what level Long Mochen's current Toxicology was.
