Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 317: Evil Devil
"You... you lunatic!!! Cough cough... cough cough..." In a fit of rage, the Mad Knife Goddess spat out blood again and shouted at Xu Zun, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course I know!" Xu Zun held up the burning bed sheet, "Since you don't have a way to detoxify, and since you refuse to tell me the truth, then I can only burn this place down!"
“No! You can’t do this!” The Mad Knife Witch shouted again, “Wang Dian…Wang Dian is here, Wang Dian!”
What!!?
Xu Zun was surprised to hear this.
But to Han Feier and Huo Anu, it was like a bolt from the blue, and they couldn't help but tremble and shake.
Even Ku Niang in the shadows moved slightly.
Zhao Yu often told Xu Zun the stories of the ten great masters of Daxuan, so Xu Zun knew the name Wang Dian. He was a top master on par with Yue Jinglei!
Huo Anu even thought that Wang Dian’s martial arts should be ranked first, but he should be the best in the world!!!
"You...what did you say?" Han Feier asked worriedly, "Are you talking about the Evil Demon King Code?"
"Yes!" Crazy Knife Witch said excitedly, "This is Wang Dian's territory. You want to set fire here. Don't you want to live?"
Tsk tsk…
Seeing that the bed sheet was about to burn his hands, Xu Zun had no choice but to throw the sheet to the ground, then stomped on it several times to put out the flames.
Although he knew that Wang Dian was a top master, he was not as panicked as Han Feier.
However, isn't Wang Dian's nickname Xuanyuan Sword? Why does Han Feier call him the evil demon?
"Hey, you didn't lie to us, did you?" Huo Anu asked, "Wang Dianzhen is here, where is he? Where is he?"
"He is in this palace," said the Crazy Knife Witch. "He founded this place. If you want to destroy it, then consider the consequences!"
"It's the same as not saying anything!" Huo Anu went up and grabbed the Crazy Knife Goddess's neck, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you first!"
"I... I don't know which room of the palace he is in, but he must be nearby!" The Crazy Knife Witch said with horror, "I don't want to see him. What about you? You don't want to see him either, right?"
"Hurry up and tell me," Xu Zun suddenly felt a little short of breath and asked hurriedly, "Why is Wang Dian involved again? What exactly is this place? Are you... are you his subordinate?"
broken……
As he spoke, Xu Zun had already realized that even though Ku Niang had pressed acupoints on him, it seemed that she was unable to keep him awake completely.
Perhaps after a long time, I will become the same as before and be conquered by desire.
"You... I don't understand," the Crazy Knife Goddess asked in confusion, "Why don't you believe me?"
“Those dancing women,” Xu Zun said, “maybe their dream is to become the best dancer?
"The state in which they danced was completely insane. They were not pretending, which meant that... they were also taken over by desire and had lost their reason.
"So," Xu Zun said, "this doesn't just work on men. Women will have problems too, just a little later than men!"
"Ah?" Huo Anu was anxious and continued to pinch the Crazy Knife Goddess's neck. "You are so vicious, you are stalling for time and trying to trap us all, right?"
"But..." Han Fei'er thought of a question and pointed at the Crazy Knife Goddess and asked, "Why are you okay?"
"If I'm not mistaken," Xu Zun said, "she should be a staff member of this island. If there were no staff members, wouldn't such a large island, with so many people swallowed by desire and losing their minds, have been destroyed long ago?"
"You..." The Crazy Knife Goddess was horrified and asked in surprise, "Who are you? Why..."
What the Crazy Knife Witch said just proved that Xu Zun's guess was correct.
Swish…
Han Feier swung the spike on the iron fan, aimed it at the eye of the Mad Knife Goddess, and threatened fiercely:
"Don't call me Crazy Witch anymore, call me Blind Witch now!"
After saying that, she raised the spike and was about to blind the Mad Knife Witch's eyes.
"No! No, no, no..." The Crazy Knife Witch was already terrified, and said quickly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything I know, I'll tell you..."
Only after seeing the Crazy Knife Witch admit defeat did Han Feier stop.
"Tell me quickly," Huo Anu shouted angrily, "What is going on here? If you dare to hide it from us again, I will turn you into a lame witch!"
"I say, I say..." said the Crazy Knife Witch, "This... this is the origin of the Luomeng Kingdom. It was the ancestors of the Luomeng Kingdom who founded this place!"
ah?
This one sentence left Xu Zun and others speechless. They didn't expect that it would be linked to the Kingdom of Luomeng again. The situation was getting more and more chaotic.
"Outsiders only know that almonds are a plant..." said the Crazy Knife Witch, "but they don't know that it is actually an aquatic plant that grows under water!
"This thing emits a special gas that can cause people to have strong desires, so... you are not poisoned, but because you inhaled this gas!"
Hearing this, Xu Zun unconsciously tightened his handkerchief.
It seems that his guess was correct. There is indeed poisonous gas here, and the poisonous gas is really transmitted through the air.
"You can't avoid it!" said the Mad Knife Witch. "The sea area around Ancient Wind Island is full of almonds, so... it's not fog that's covering the island!"
ah?
Xu Zun and others were shocked. They never expected that the sea fog was actually the poisonous gas produced by the lemon.
If this is the case, then they have no way to avoid it.
"Driven by desire," said the Mad Knife Witch, "one can imagine what happened to the people of Luomeng. In the end, they had to leave the island and settle down in the south of the East China Sea.
"Later, when the Great Xuan Kingdom was founded, the Qizhou clans of the previous dynasty fled here," said the Crazy Knife Witch, "The attics you see, as well as this palace, were all built by them!"
Yeah?
Hearing this, Xu Zun expressed his doubt. If these buildings were really built by the previous dynasty, then they would be at least a hundred years old.
But why does it still look so new?
Could it be that... there has always been someone maintaining the island?
"Later," said the Crazy Knife Witch, "Wang Dian discovered this place and came to this island to live in seclusion.
"You guessed right, I was indeed recruited by him." She said with difficulty, "Wang Dian asked me and a few others to help him recruit great Xuan masters to come to this island.
"Then, let these people hone their martial arts skills on the island..."
"Oh? Why?" Huo Anu couldn't figure it out for a moment, "Why do you want to come here to hone your martial arts?"
"Where there is desire there is motivation!" Han Feier figured out something and guessed , "Is it true that if I practice martial arts here, I will improve very quickly?"
"Yes!" Mad Knife Witch nodded and admitted, "Indeed, the people we found were originally second-rate warriors, but after just one year of training, their martial arts skills all improved by leaps and bounds and became first-rate warriors!"
"But..." Huo Anu was still puzzled, "Why did Wang Dian do this? Could it be that... he wanted to improve his cultivation through these people's crazy trials?"
"I don't know," said the Mad Knife Goddess frankly, "Who dares to ask what Wang Dian is going to do?"
"The key is..." Han Fei'er thought of an important point, "Wang Dian made sure that he would not be influenced by Luo Meng and driven by desire?
"And you, why are you able to stay awake?"
"There is medicine, there is medicine," the Crazy Knife Goddess finally told the truth, "whether it is the ancient Luomeng people or the later Qizhou old tribe, if they didn't have the antidote, they would have perished long ago and could not survive here at all!"
"Medicine?" Huo Anu asked hurriedly, "Where is the medicine? Take it out quickly!"
"Wang Dian only gives me one pill every month," said the Crazy Knife Witch, "The medicine... is all with Wang Dian!"
"You..." Huo Anu was furious, "Do you still want to lie?"
After saying that, Huo Anu actually reached out to search the Crazy Knife Witch.
Judging from Huo Anu's anxious state, it seemed that she had also been affected.
"Wait, wait, Anu, stop it!" Xu Zun grabbed Huo Anu and asked the Crazy Knife Goddess, "Let me ask you one more thing, what's going on with that big ship outside?
“Are all those people dancing court dancers?
"Is the Great Xuan Crown Prince...here?!"
