Chapter 704: Vicious Plan (1)
Geng Di wished he could raise his head and laugh out loud. Shen Yanxiao was quite insensible to turn the students of two Great Herbalists into useless dregs of society. G.o.d knows that apart from those at the G.o.d Realm, the people should never be offended were the prestigious Great Herbalists. Each one of the Great Herbalists had mult.i.tude of strong connections. Offending Great Herbalists was equal to offending those dependent on Great Herbalists for favors. Once those people come together, they could converge into a stunning force.
As per normal when being young, Shen Yanxiao was extremely frivolous. Geng Di even wanted to applaud Shen Yanxiao. He wished the girl would displease everyone in the world so that others would come and teach her a lesson as he watched from the sidelines.
“The crimes of Shen Yanxiao cannot be excused. I have always held respect for those that study herbalism with great diligence. As such, I hold her in great contempt for her actions.” Geng Di appeared to be riled up with indignation, but behind that angry facade, he hid a smile.
“It is such a pity that even though I am more than glad to teach that little b.i.t.c.h a lesson for you, my ability is not equal to my ambition. Truth be told, when Shen Yanxiao came to surround my city with the eight mythical beasts, I was at a loss for what to do. I just watched helplessly as she swaggered around the perimeter city at my expense.” Geng Di heaved a sigh.
“Eight mythical beasts?” Jun Mo, who had not said a thing, frowned. There was a glint of contempt on his handsome and yet cloudy face.
“I don’t know where Shen Yanxiao has acquired so many powerful warriors. Eight mythical beasts are staying in Sun Never Sets. Given her current strength, not even the other two cities, not to mention my Fantasy Devil City, dared to act rashly. We are just sitting on pins while she continues to build her city in the Forsaken Land.” Geng Di sounded rather melancholy and sad.
He knew that his previous plans had angered Shen Yanxiao. But sadly, his plans just earned the ire of Shen Yanxiao, instead of stopping her from growing her force.
“Just eight mythical beasts? That is nothing to be scared of. City lord, you are being too prudent.” Jun Mo held the teacup and took a sip.
Jun Mo’s nonchalance towards eight mythical beasts surprised Geng Di. To anyone, eight mythical beasts represented an undefeated force. However, according to Jun Mo, they did not seem to be all that terrifying.
Geng Di did not understand the formidable power mastered by a Great Herbalist. He was merely interested in finding out if Jun Mo had any ways to deal with Shen Yanxiao.
“Master Jun Mo, please enlighten me!” Geng Di stood up and asked in a serious tone.
Jun Mo threw a glance at Geng Di, and the former’s grin was somewhat ghastly.
“Mythical beasts are strong but they do have their Achilles’ heels. We should target their masters rather than the mythical beasts themselves. Once the masters are hurt, the mystical beasts will be weakened as well.”
“Although that is correct, with the protection of the mythical beasts, there is no way we can target their masters.” Geng Di was still puzzled.
Jun Mo laughed. “Who told you to confront them face to face? Sometimes, to defeat an enemy, we do not need to resort to violence. Just a few drops of a potion is enough to make the enemies of a Great Herbalist surrender without a fight. City lord, are you not capable of taking down a downed enemy?”
“Potion? Master Jun, you are saying?” Glows of excitement were s.h.i.+ning in Geng Di’s eyes.
“Master Pu Lisi and I will take care of this matter. City lord, all you need to do is to wait for our good news,” Jun Mo put down the teacup and said calmly.
“But isn’t Shen Yanxiao a herbalist as well?” Geng Di was still worried. If Shen Yanxiao uncovered their plan, her retaliation was not something Fantasy Devil City could withstand.
