Chapter 140
Mo Yunfeng still looked like a puppet, standing there with a blank expression, giving off a terracotta warrior vibe at first glance.
Nan Heng and the National Teacher were still in a coma.
The two tacitly walked up, He Zhiran went to search the National Teacher's body while Mo Jiuye went to search Nan Heng's body.
He Zhiran's harvest was considerable.
Apart from over ten thousand taels of silver bills on the National Teacher's body, there was also the small porcelain bottle she had just taken out.
In addition, there were a few packs of medicinal powder.
After examining for a while, He Zhiran knew these were all poisons used for self-defense, basically similar to the “Death Descends” she had just used.
On Nan Heng’s side, Mo Jiuye also searched out a few thousand taels of silver bills on his body, as well as a high-quality jade pendant.
Apart from that, Nan Heng had nothing else on him.
He Zhiran was very curious about the small porcelain bottle on the National Teacher’s body.
If her guess was correct, what was most likely inside was the mother Gu worm of the puppet Gu.
However, considering the mother Gu's ability to recognize its host, she did not dare to rashly open the bottle stopper without complete assurance.
After searching, Mo Jiuye tied the person up with ropes before walking towards He Zhiran’s direction.
He Zhiran could see that the hatred Mo Jiuye showed towards that National Teacher was by no means ordinary.
Without waiting for her to ask, Mo Jiuye took the initiative to say, "My Mo Family has a blood feud with this person. My big brother and second brother died at her hands at the same time.
Moreover, her identity is very special. She is not only the National Teacher of the Southern Border, but also the Queen of the Southern Border."
Upon hearing this, He Zhiran gasped.
If Mo Jiuye had not mentioned it, she would never have imagined that the big brother and second brother of the Mo Family would have died at the hands of a woman.
After all, the history books only briefly recorded the deaths of the Mo Family people without explaining it in too much detail.
Mo Jiuye paused for a moment before continuing, "This person is proficient in using poison. Back then, my big brother and second brother had already killed the local commander-in-chief. Just as they were about to attack the city, this woman used poison on them.
My two brothers were caught off guard by her sinister move and died on the spot as a result. That vicious woman even ordered people to cut off my brothers' heads and hang them on the city tower to show the public."
At this moment, Mo Jiuye's eyes were already filled with killing intent. If he didn't still have questions to ask, he would have already taken this woman's life.
He Zhiran could understand his mood at the moment. She walked up and tied up the National Teacher tightly before taking out a syringe to inject her to quickly wake her up.
The National Teacher was still a little confused, but she was soon shocked by the scene in front of her.
Without thinking too much, Mo Jiuye's military knife was already against her throat.
"Witch, tell me, was the puppet Gu on Mo Yunfeng's body cast by you?"
The National Teacher was instantly stung by the cold blade and gasped before looking at the speaker.
She saw a man and a woman in front of her.
Although the woman was wearing a black night walk outfit, she still couldn't hide her breathtaking beauty. However, this person was completely unfamiliar to her.
As for the man who spoke, she was no stranger.
"Mo Jiuye?"
"Yun Li, now that you have fallen into my hands, it is impossible for you to have a chance to live. If you don't want to suffer too much physical pain, tell me what you know truthfully." There was a piercing chill in Mo Jiuye's voice.
Yun Li sneered, "Hehe... How do you know I must die?"
As she spoke, Yun Li seemed to use some secret technique to shrink her body slightly, and the ropes tied to her body instantly slipped off.
Regaining her freedom, Yun Li instinctively reached into her bosom to take her life-saving medicinal powder.
Mo Jiuye was also quick to act. Just as her fingers had just probed a little into her bosom, his hand rose and the knife fell directly chopping off one of her hands.
Yun Li screamed in pain, then her upper body tilted back, and she nimbly stood up with a carp flip.
At the same time, the tip of Mo Jiuye's knife was once again pressed against her throat.
As if unaware of the pain, Yun Li lowered her eyes to glance at the chilling sharp blade, and her tone also showed signs of softening.
"Mo Jiuye, Mo Yunfeng's life is in my hands. Once I die, he will accompany me in death."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye became more certain of one problem.
The puppet Gu in third brother's body was indeed Yun Li's handiwork.
This was also another reason why he had forcibly endured not killing Yun Li on the spot just now.
Seeing the situation, He Zhiran took out the tranquilizer gun again and knocked Yun Li unconscious.
In order not to let Yun Li die immediately from excessive blood loss, He Zhiran simply treated her wound before telling Mo Jiuye, "First remove the Gu from third brother." Mo Jiuye nodded, and the two tacitly went to the operating room.
With the experience of removing Gu for Mo Chuhan last time, their speed this time was very fast. It was completed in less than an hour.
The larva Gu worm was put into a glass bottle in the same way.
However, He Zhiran did not immediately add plasma to the bottle like last time.
Mo Yunfeng was still unconscious at the moment. In order to prevent him from waking up prematurely and discovering the space's secret, He Zhiran gave him another dose of tranquilizer before leaving, thus ensuring foolproofness.
Mo Jiuye stared at the two bottles containing the puppet Gu offspring for a while, and spoke of the doubts in his heart.
"Just now, Yun Li only mentioned that third brother's life was in her hands. Could it be that the puppet Gu in eighth brother has nothing to do with her?"
He Zhiran picked up the bottle containing the larva Gu worm taken from Mo Chuhan's body.
"Whether it has anything to do with her or not, we'll know after trying."
As they spoke, the two had already taken the glass bottle containing the larva from Mo Chuhan's body to the farm. They also took out the small porcelain bottle found on Yun Li's body.
The two bottles containing the mother and offspring of the puppet Gu were placed on the open space about ten meters apart.
According to the records in the Gu Insects Compendium, once the offspring Gu of the puppet Gu leaves the host body, it will immediately rush towards the mother Gu.
Puppet Gu fears fire. In order to truly kill the puppet Gu, strong firepower is required.
For this purpose, He Zhiran directly bought a flamethrower from Taobao Treasure Mall and set the flame to maximum before handing it to Mo Jiuye.
Once the offspring Gu rushes towards the mother Gu, it means that the person who used the puppet Gu on the eighth brother is Yun Li.
Finding the mastermind, then that offspring Gu worm would be of no use.
On the other hand, if that doesn't happen, they would have to continue raising this offspring Gu to find the true caster.
Mo Jiuye nodded to indicate that he understood.
With one hand holding the flamethrower and the other hand holding the glass bottle tightly, he was ready to deal with it.
The two tacitly looked at each other and then He Zhiran slowly opened the bottle stopper.
I saw the larva Gu desperately flying out of the glass bottle as if escaping and did not rush towards the porcelain bottle at the other end of the open space.
Perhaps due to being in the space, the larva Gu was unable to discern directions.
It thrashed around chaotically like a frightened fly.
Seeing this, Mo Jiuye’s body made a graceful leap and he quickly collected the larva Gu back into the glass bottle.
The two of them looked at each other and the answer was self-evident.
The controller of this larva Gu was not Yun Li!
With the same method, they took the larva Gu worm removed from Mo Yunfeng's body to conduct an experiment.
