In the lobby, a burly man spat at Gong Liangwuqi's corpse with disdain, pulled the weapon out of his body, and shook off the blood stains on it.

"Not only did you waste so much of my time, but you also dared to take advantage of us. You are so tired of living!"

"It seems that this trip to Zhao State has not yielded any results!"

The big man sheathed his sword and walked outside.

"Let's burn it here! Make it clean. We can't be exposed yet."

He waved to the other members of Dark River and left without looking back.

He wanted to go back and report to Li Wu about the situation in Zhao State. Sui Houzhu should not be in Zhao State.

Soon, a huge fire engulfed the entire house. The flames and thick black smoke rising into the sky could be clearly seen from several streets away.

Such a loud noise soon attracted the nearby garrison troops. By the time they evacuated the surrounding residents and put out the fire, the entire house had been reduced to ashes.

Gongliang Wuqi didn't even leave his body.

In the distance, the members of the Bainiao team took in all of this, and there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

They all knew that the place where the fire started was Gong Liang Wu Wei's residence. The other party secretly raised a group of killers whose strength was only slightly weaker than theirs.

But now it looks like they have probably been destroyed.

"Was it Luo Wang's doing? Quick, pass the message back!"

......

Half a month later, at the General’s Mansion in Xinzheng, South Korea.

Ji Wuye suddenly summoned Mo Ya and Bai Feng.

As soon as the two came in, they saw a familiar figure appear in front of them. They were slightly stunned, and then they felt a little happy.

However, in front of Ji Wuye, the two of them knelt down obediently and obeyed his orders. They could talk about the past later.

"Yingge, tell me the results of your actions in Zhao State!"

Ji Wuye sat on a high seat, exuding a cold aura.

Yingge lowered his head and responded.

"There was something wrong with the intelligence given by the Raincoat Man this time. Gongliang Wuqi and another group of people jointly set a trap, so we suffered a great loss. These people seem to be related to Luowang."

"Luowang is also looking for the whereabouts of the Heshi Bi?"

Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes and placed his right hand on the handle of the eight-foot-long sword.

"Whether the other party is from Luowang or not is still open to discussion, but it is certain that another group of people are also looking for information about the Heshi Bi."

Yingge analyzed carefully.

The killer of Luowang is easy to identify, that is, there will be a spider web symbol on his body.

And she did see this symbol on some people at that time, so she subconsciously thought that these people were Luowang's killers.

But according to intelligence, Luowang is now falling apart, and many Luowang killers have escaped from Luowang, but these people still have Luowang's marks on their bodies.

Therefore, it is indeed difficult to determine what kind of force the other party is.

Ji Wuye nodded slightly after hearing this.

As someone who has close cooperation with Luowang, he knows better than Yingge what happens inside Luowang.

Due to the internal struggles in Qin, Luowang suffered heavy losses. All of Luowang's top assassins were killed, and it was said that even the headquarters was wiped out.

After King Ying Zheng of Qin came to power, he seemed to have no intention of recasting the weapon and completely ignored Luowang.

Now there are only two or three kittens left. They are leaderless and many killers have escaped from the trap.

It was their Night Army, and during this period of time they also absorbed quite a few assassins who had escaped from Luowang.

"In addition, according to the news just reported back, Gongliang Wuqi died the day after I left Zhao State, and his body was nowhere to be found!"

Upon hearing that Gong Liang Wuqi was dead, Ji Wuye felt no wavering at all; he just waved his hand.

"This time it's because there's something wrong with the information from the Raincoat Man. I'll let you go for now. Everyone, go down first!"

The three Mo Ya responded and left in a hurry.

Then Ji Wuye went out alone and went to a river outside Xinzheng.

"General, how are you?"

On a wooden boat, a man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat was sitting at the bow fishing. Without even turning his head, one could tell that it was Ji Wuye.

However, Ji Wuye was not so polite.

"The information you gave me last time was wrong. My Hundred Birds suffered heavy losses because of it!"

"There is indeed something wrong with Gongliang Wuqi's intelligence. The other party is a cover released by the State of Zhao. Before this, the Heshi Bi had always been in the hands of the King of Zhao and had never been lost. I just got this news."

The straw raincoat man directly admitted that the intelligence was wrong.

"But now the Heshi Bi is no longer in the hands of King Zhao. I have received accurate information that King Zhao gave it away."

"Oh?" Ji Wuye didn't bother to dwell on the fact that the information was wrong, and asked hurriedly, "Who did you give it to?"

"I gave it to the Taoists."

Hearing this, Ji Wuye’s face suddenly froze.

If it was given to someone else, he could still think of a way to see if he could get it.

But the Taoists still remember vividly what happened to Zhao's army of more than 100,000 some time ago. I heard that Pang Nuan hasn't woken up yet, which is no different from being dead.

Ji Wuye didn't want to try to pull out a tooth from a tiger's mouth just for a piece of He's Bi, otherwise he would end up following in Pang Nuan's footsteps.

For a moment, he felt that it was not impossible to give up the He Shi Bi.

"Since the Heshi Bi is in the hands of the Taoists, we can only let this matter go!"

Ji Wuye sighed, looking a little bored.

"General, don't be so depressed. We can't afford to offend the Taoists for now, but there are many treasures in the world besides the He's Jade. Recently, I just happened to find out the whereabouts of another treasure that can be compared with the He's Jade."

The man in straw raincoat felt Ji Wuye's helplessness and then told him another piece of information.

Ji Wuye’s eyes widened after hearing this.

"A treasure that can be compared with the Heshi Bi? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. The treasure I'm talking about is the Suihou Pearl, which is known as the second treasure of the Spring and Autumn Period along with the Heshi Bi! What do you think of this item, General?"

There was a hint of joking in the man in the straw raincoat's tone.

Ji Wuye was surprised by the news, and a look of delight appeared on his face!

"Do you really know the whereabouts of Suihouzhu?"

Compared with the Heshi Bi, the Suihou Pearl is more legendary in their eyes.

According to legend, Sui Hou, the monarch of Sui State, saved a giant snake during a trip. Later, the snake brought a pearl to Sui Hou in return.

Therefore, Suihou Pearl is also called the Pearl of the Spirit Snake, and legend has it that this big snake is the son of the Dragon King!

"Yes, I got the news that the Suihou Pearl is in the former Baiyue land, which is within the territory of Chu."

"Baiyue..."

When Ji Wuye heard this, his eyes narrowed.

Unexpectedly, the Suihou Pearl lost by the State of Chu was right under their noses.

Chapter 306 The Unlucky King of Poisons

With the guarantee from the Straw-Cloak Man, Ji Wuye immediately sent the Hundred Birds Killer to the land of Baiyue to retrieve the Sui Hou Pearl for him.

To be on the safe side, this time he not only sent out Yingge, but also the two bird commanders, Mo Ya and Hong Hu, as well as more than half of the bird killers.

The land of Baiyue is a very familiar place for Ye Mu.

In order to gain power, King An of Han launched an invasion of Baiyue with the help of Ye Mu. They allied with the State of Chu to attack Baiyue together and eventually destroyed Baiyue.

However, because the land of Baiyue was full of miasma and poisonous insects, it would require a large amount of manpower and material resources to transform it into a livable place, and it would be difficult to see a return on the investment. Therefore, neither Han nor Chu occupied it completely, but only nominally divided it into their own territories.

In fact, the land of Baiyue today has become a chaotic zone with no one in charge. The Baiyue people there are either captured and made into slaves and exploited, or become refugees, with no food to eat and no security.

Mo Ya and his companions came here with the Bird Killer. At the beginning, they met a few bold refugees who wanted to ask them for food.

But they simply ignored it.

Among them, Honghu showed great disgust towards these refugees.

In his eyes, these Baiyue refugees were nothing more than a group of dirty untouchables, not even human beings.

If Mo Ya and Ying Ge hadn't stopped him, he would have even wanted to teach these untouchables who blocked his way a lesson.

Ignoring these refugees, they quickly headed towards a remote village based on the information provided by the straw raincoat man.

This village is hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by miasma and poisons. If they had not prepared special medicines to deal with miasma and poisons in advance, the miasma alone would have caused them to lose a lot of manpower.

Fortunately, they escaped unharmed and finally successfully arrived at the place that the man in the straw raincoat had mentioned.

As soon as they entered the village, Mo Ya and others took the Hundred Birds Killer to search for Sui Houzhu everywhere.

"This place is sparsely populated. I don't know how the man in the straw raincoat confirmed that the Suihou Pearl is in this damn place. We won't return empty-handed, will we?"

Hong Hu searched several rooms and found that apart from some poisonous insects and snakes, there was no trace of Sui Houzhu.

“I think I found it!”

Just as he was complaining, the voice of Mo Ya suddenly came from outside.

Hong Hu rushed out quickly and saw Mo Ya holding a green gem about the size of a fist in his hand.

The whole bead is round and smooth without any flaws, and it emits a faint light. Even from such a distance, it can still make people feel extremely comfortable.

"We searched the entire village and only found this one pearl. This thing looks quite extraordinary. It should be the Suihou Pearl that the general is looking for!"

Mo Ya smiled, he didn't expect to find the thing so easily.

"Now that we have the stuff, let's leave! For some reason, I have a bad feeling."

Yingge frowned.

As soon as she finished speaking, a rustling sound was heard nearby.

When everyone looked around, they found a large amount of poisonous substances pouring out from the dense forest, and their expressions became very solemn.

"You broke into my territory and wanted to take my treasure away. You really don't take me seriously!"

An old man who looked sloppy and dressed no differently from the refugees they had seen before walked out from the group of poisonous creatures.

"Leave your stuff behind!"

The old man roared and waved his hand, and countless poisonous creatures attacked Mo Ya and others.

"Now that this thing is in our hands, how can we return it to you? You want to keep us with your little tricks? It's simply wishful thinking!"

Mo Ya put the pearl away with him, then used his lightness skills. His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and he rushed into the poisonous creature with ease.

He held two feather blades in his hands, and with a slight stroke of his fingers, he cut the poisonous creature approaching him into two.

These ordinary poisons could not threaten him at all.

The performances of Yingge and Honghu were similar to that of Moya. Although their lightness skills were not as good as his, they were no problem at all dealing with some poisonous creatures.

These poisons might be a big threat to ordinary bird killers, but for the three Mo Ya, as long as they can't touch them, they won't have much effect.

The old man couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.

Seeing Mo Ya and others getting closer and closer to him, he immediately realized what they were thinking. They wanted to kill him first to resolve the poison crisis.

A green light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he waved his hand, spreading a poisonous mist.

The black crow that was approaching the old man quickly realized that something was wrong, stopped and shouted: "Be careful, it's poisonous!"

"Do you think being careful will help?"

The old man laughed.

As the famous King of Poisons in Baiyue, how could the toxin he developed be simple?

The poisonous fog spread in the air at an unimaginable speed, and in a blink of an eye it covered the entire space, shrouding Mo Ya and others.
