Chapter 876: Driven to Desperation!
Watching Jiang Feng go up, Weng Bojun naturally didn't want to be left behind, and immediately led his men to rush up!
A group of people slowly arrived near the Yuxi Pond.
The temperature here was even lower, with cold winds grinding around from all directions like millstones.
The beauties from the Demon Moon Alliance, with their frail bodies, were almost on the verge of collapse, each with a pale face and shivering.
Finally!
A large expanse of pond water appeared ahead in front of everyone!
This was a deep pool spanning a full dozen acres in size, with a cold aura raging on the water's surface, and ripples spreading out. The wind rolled across the surface, making an eerily chilling sound.
This was the Yuxi Pond!
The edge of the pond was extremely cold, akin to the howling wind of Antarctica.
However, in the pond, blood-red hand-shaped plants grew, each incredibly exotic, as if carved from blood jade.
The temperature here is extremely low, where not a blade of grass should grow, but these hand-shaped plants thrived, displaying their vigorous vitality!
"It's the 'Blood Ganoderma'!"
Weng Bojun's pupils contracted, and a trace of joy finally appeared on his face!
He never expected there to be so many Blood Ganoderma in Yuxi Pond.
If all these were harvested and brought back, it could be enough to atone for his loss of troops and generals this time.
But where was the legendary Blood Snake?
It's said that Yuxi Pond not only hosts Blood Ganoderma but is also guarded by a Blood Snake. Why was there no sign of it now?
Instead, the Yuxi Pond seemed unusually quiet, suspiciously so.
When something's abnormal, there's bound to be a catch!
Having learned from past mistakes, Weng Bojun would not let his people take risks this time!
"Uncle Weng, that Blood Snake must be lurking at the bottom of the pond. It's time to let those bitches go feed it!" Gu Ming said viciously to Weng Bojun.
Weng Bojun nodded and turned to Demoness and the others behind him, saying, "Demoness, Yuxi Pond is right here, filled with Blood Ganoderma! You and your people can jump in and fetch them!"
Upon hearing this, Demoness was stunned for a moment and then frowned at Weng Bojun: "Elder Weng, what do you mean?"
Yuxi Pond has man-eating giant snakes. This fact is not only known by the Hundred Knowledge Hall but, after hearing the innkeeper's warning, the Demon Moon Alliance knows it now too.
Currently, Demoness and Kong Guyoulan, among others, were on high alert, searching for the monstrous snake when Weng Bojun suddenly spoke, naturally causing suspicion.
"What do you mean you still don't understand? Damn it, Demoness, I've been putting up with you along the way, for a long time!"
At this point, Gu Ming finally couldn't hold back and stepped out, gritting his teeth as he said, "You've been following this Jiang guy's lead all the way, have you all hooked up with him?!"
"Gu Ming, what nonsense are you spouting?" Demoness immediately roared in anger!
"Ha, smelly widow, slut! You still pretending in front of me? Let me tell you, I haven't forgotten the grudge of being insulted and injured at your headquarters last time! You bitches dared to humiliate the Young Master of Hundred Knowledge Hall, today is the day you pay for your sins!"
As Gu Ming's words fell, the surrounding Hundred Knowledge Hall members immediately surrounded the women of the Demon Moon Alliance with sinister intentions.
They revealed their true colors!
No longer hiding or concealing anything!
This time, Weng Bojun did not intervene and merely watched coldly, his face full of indifference.
"Elder Weng, what exactly is Hundred Knowledge Hall up to?"
Demoness was both shocked and angry, but maintained her composure and demanded of Weng Bojun.
"Demoness, stop playing dumb. Can't you see the situation now?"
Weng Bojun spoke indifferently, "Do you really think our Hundred Knowledge Hall would be kind enough to share this rare Blood Ganoderma with you? It's nothing more than bait."
"You've heard there are Blood Snakes in Yuxi Pond, capable of eating people. Naturally, we can't let members of Hundred Knowledge Hall become snake food, so we came up with a way to use you to fill their bellies."
"Of course, this is much easier than kidnapping you, luring you into coming on your own! Ha, blame it on your offense against our Young Master, and your insistence on protecting that little bastard Jiang!"
"Weng Bojun, you!" Demoness's face turned ashen with rage!
So, these guys intended this all along, even more cruel and despicable than she imagined!
The beauties of the Demon Moon Alliance heard Weng Bojun's words, equally shocked and furious, trembling all over!
Yet Jiang Feng stood by silently, calmly watching without saying a word.
So that's how it is, that guy confessed without being pressed...
"Demoness, how do you feel now? Regretful? Furious? Despairing and powerless?"
Gu Ming laughed vindictively, "Stop babbling, why not just jump down quickly and use your tender, fragrant bodies to feed the Blood Snake! Of course, you can resist, but it'll just make us take a bit longer to slay you all, and toss you into the lake anyway. I doubt the Blood Snake would mind eating a corpse, hahaha!"
"Gu Ming, you're nothing but an animal! How can someone like you be the Young Master of Hundred Knowledge Hall? You're worse than scum!"
Shangguan Wan'er angrily berated Gu Ming.
"Ha! Shangguan Wan'er, I almost forgot!"
Gu Ming gave Shangguan Wan'er a sidelong glance, "Everyone here can die, except for you — you have a chance to live — that is, if you submit to me from now on! Become my slave girl, serving me every day, and I'll forgive your previous disrespect, hahaha!"
"In your dreams!!!"
Shangguan Wan'er was so furious she trembled all over, regretting that Jiang Feng didn't teach him a harsher lesson last time, he should've been beaten to the point of incapacity!
In fact, according to Gu Ming's original plan, before forcing Demoness and others into the pool, he planned to humiliate the women of the Demon Moon Alliance, led by Demoness, in front of everyone.
But now, the environment here was worse than he imagined, too damn cold to even have the mood for violence, better to execute the plan early and leave this ghostly place faster.
"No more talking. Demoness, today you have to jump whether you want to or not. I'd advise you to be sensible and jump on your own, to avoid suffering!"
Weng Bojun coldly chuckled without any expression, while the remaining eighty or so members of Hundred Knowledge Hall all took a step forward, pushing the women of the Demon Moon Alliance to their limits!
