Chapter 1544: Chapter 846: The Dark Command
Chapter 846
“Hmm, this matter is no longer a secret. Several other cities have known for a while now, but since we’re in a border city, the news arrived a bit slower…”
“That’s right, no need to make a fuss. It’s said this ti, the Dark Order is targeting a mother-daughter duo! Their portrait will soon be posted by the City Lord’s Mansion…”
The other two chid in as well.
“Mother, the Dark Order is an exclusive decree issued by the Mansion Lord of the Anhei Mansion, used for hunting, purging, and capturing people guilty of the most heinous cris! I recall that during the Old Master’s ti, it was never used even once, but from the way they’re talking, it seems the Dark Order has been used quite frequently…” Little Lingling remarked internally.
“I think the mother and daughter they ntioned must be referring to Baobao and . But how could they have known?” Mo Jiuli said with a trace of doubt.
“Mother, could it be Baobao’s father’s parents?” Little Lingling asked, also puzzled.
“No, the array formation I set up is so strong that not even a god could break it, so it can’t be them! It looks like we really need to be more cautious…” Mo Jiuli replied.
Just then, they overheard soone nearby asking, “Have you all heard? It’s said that the mother-daughter pair is from the Human World Continent, so their strength must be quite weak. This ti, anyone who can capture the pair first will be granted the position of Mansion Lord. What a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity!”
“Really? I hadn’t heard that. But can people from the Human World Continent even reach our place? Could they be from the highest-level Human World Continent, trying to directly ascend to the Divine World from here?”
“That’s unclear. I only know this because I heard it from my uncle’s wife’s elder sister’s nephew’s aunt’s master, who works as a city guard in the Anhei Mansion. He sent word earlier, asking us to wait near Wutong City because the information said the mother-daughter pair would land near Wutong City when they arrived. Recently, it seems that strong people from the Seven Cities are all gathering around Wutong City…”
“Of course. Opportunities like this don’t co to people like us. Even if we got involved, we’d lose our lives before we could enjoy anything!”
“Exactly. No one knows the true identity of that mother-daughter pair, but making the World Master set the Mansion Lord’s position as a reward surely stirs everyone’s curiosity!”
“Who wouldn’t think so? But I reckon by tomorrow, when the City Lord’s Mansion posts their portrait, we’ll know for sure. For now, let’s just drink…”
“Yes, drink, drink…”
Several people exchanged words, and the conversation soon veered off topic.
After finishing her al, Mo Jiuli took Little Lingling back to the room to rest. The night passed without incident.
The Next Day
Mo Jiuli and Little Lingling didn’t erge until midday, only to hear many people talking about so “fairy.” On closer listening, they learned that the City Lord’s Mansion had already posted reward portraits of a mother-daughter duo in various locations…
Mo Jiuli didn’t rush to check but instead calmly finished her al. Only then did she leave the restaurant with Little Lingling. Shortly after stepping outside, they saw a crowd gathered around an announcent board, whispering and chattering.
Approaching for a closer look, Mo Jiuli saw what she had anticipated — the portraits were indeed of her and Baobao. Strangely enough, though, Baobao was now eight years old, but in the portrait, her features were still depicted as those of a five-year-old.
This drawing must have captured their appearance shortly after arriving on the Haotian Continent. Even Baobao’s attire in the portrait matched that period. Could it be that they were discovered right as they entered the Haotian Continent? But who had spotted them, and why hadn’t they made a move until now?
