Immortal Sovereign of Ninth Heavens

As Mo Li and Nanzhen's battle ended, the battle between the three powers in Heaven Lake Town also gradually subsided.

Since Mo Li had accepted the Feral Tiger Mercenaries, there was no way the Ye family could return the territory to them. The Yan Huang Mercenary Group was the first faction that Mo Li had built since he came to this world. It could be said that he had spent a lot of time and effort to build it.

The Ye family had been forced back in their previous confrontation with the Feral Tiger Mercenaries. In addition to the Ferocious Lion Mercenary Group's inaction towards their allies, the power had been quickly reduced. The territory they controlled was only a small area around the mansion.

In contrast, the number of the Flaming Yellow Mercenaries had greatly increased during this period of time. As the territory expanded, people had to be recruited continuously. With Mo Li's reputation and the prestige of the great battle before, the Yan Huang Mercenary Group had expanded from a hundred men to seven hundred in just three months. They were now one of the two heroes of the Heaven Lake Town.

With the expansion of manpower, managing it was relatively troublesome. Mo Li used his previous life's understanding and management of the mercenary group to divide his men into four squads. Each of them would be responsible for different daily tasks, and at the same time, they would compete with each other without interfering.

The four squads were led by Yan Qi, Barbarian Cow, Panther, and a man called Falcon. The four of them were not considered the most outstanding in the team, and they also received many doubts when they assumed their positions in the team. However, in the training afterwards, a few people managed to convince everyone else with their attitude.

Mo Li had formulated many plans for the Yan Huang Mercenary Group to increase their strength. For different people and at different realms, the missions they completed each day were also different. Yan Qi and the other three's training plan was not light. However, they had not only completed every day according to the schedule, they had also added many other training tasks for themselves in private.

What Mo Li had his eyes on was their diligence and hard work. Perhaps innate talent could not be chosen on its own, but although it was more time-consuming and exhausting for a stupid bird to fly first, it was also the other way towards success.

The Yan Huang Mercenary Group progressed in an orderly manner, and Mo Li was also busy during this time.

Tomorrow was Su Ran Xue's seventeenth birthday.

On this continent, if a girl was seventeen, she could be considered to have formally matured. However, to Mo Li and Su Ran Xue, not only did the young girl's birthday not bring any joy to the two of them, it even made them start to get busy from a month ago.

Tomorrow was the day that Su Ran's blood poison would take effect.

Although Su Ran Xue had been gentle and quiet when she was young, she definitely wasn't as cold as she was now.

Since she was young, she didn't have her parents by her side. Su Ran Xue was brought up by her elder brother. At the age of seven, Su Ran Xin had studied the medical skills of his clan to a critical point. Like many others before him, he had chosen to close his doors to death. For cultivators, being locked up for a few years, more than ten years, or even more than a hundred years was a very normal thing. But his three months in seclusion left him feeling guilty to this day.

It was the young Su Ran Xue who was bored out of her mind after her brother went into closed door cultivation. She coincidentally found a Hundred Spirit Bird that flew to the Medicine Sect. The playfulness of a child was very heavy. Su Ran Xue, who was seven years old, chased the Hundred Spirit Bird out of the Medicine Sect and entered the depths of the forest.

Xue Yue was the same as the rest of the world. It was a completely independent world, and dangers lurked everywhere as well. Su Ran Xue ran into a famous beast in the Snow Region — the Nine Serenities Blood Python!

Saint Beast!

Not to mention Su Ran Xue at that time, even if he and Mo Li were together now, it would absolutely not be enough to fill the gaps in the fierce beast's teeth.

Since she was young, Su Ran Xue had been extremely sharp and agile. When she felt danger approaching, she immediately ran away. Although it turned around at the first moment, it was still chased by the Nine Nether Blood Python to the edge of a cliff.

Su Ran Xue fell into despair. The Saint Beast's pressure did not allow her to react in time.

At this critical moment, a person appeared. It was Mo Li, who had found out that something was amiss while training in the forest. Facing the sacred beast that was also a child, Mo Li could only carry Su Ran Xue and jump off the cliff.

Mo Li's movements were already fast enough, but he and Su Ran Xue were still swept by the Nine Serenities Blood Python's tail.

At that time, Mo Li had already obtained the acknowledgement of the dragon soul. Naturally, Mo Sanxiao did not dare to be careless when he was a precious disciple of the Aura Sect. He had left a mark on his body that could trigger the protective barrier at a crucial moment.

At the bottom of the cliff, Mo Li and Su Ran Xue spent two difficult months together.

Although they had escaped death, how could the two children withstand a blow from a Saint Beast? Although they had recovered their lives under Mo Sanxiao's imprint, Mo Li and Su Ran Xue were both heavily injured! At that time, Su Ran Xue had already grasped some of the medical skills of the Medicine Sect and was living a life of panic with Mo Li. Not only did she have to worry about the dangers brought by the other magical beasts, she also had to search everywhere for medicinal herbs to treat her injuries.

With the existence of the Wandering Dragon's Soul, Mo Li's injuries could be considered normal recovery, and there weren't any side effects left in his body. However, Su Ran Xue was not able to do so. Although most of the Holy Beasts' attacks were blocked by Mo Li, Su Ran Xue's internal organs were still dislocated under the remnant might. Her meridians and dantian were also corroded by the Nine Serenities Blood Poison.

The blood poison was sinister beyond compare. Once it exploded, it would trigger the berserk energy within her body and turn her into a bloodthirsty monster!

When the two of them were at the bottom of the cliff, the blood poison in Su Ran Xue's body had already flared up. It was just that Su Ran Xue's strength wasn't very high at that time.

After that, when the people from the Aura and Medicine Sects found them, the blood poison had already rooted itself into Su Ran Xue's body. The Su Family's medical skills were unrivalled. Su Ran Xin could only use all of his power to cure his sister of her poison, but in the end, he could only suppress her every time the blood poison acted up.

Every time the blood poison activated, Su Ran Xue would go completely crazy. She was like a wild beast charging forward.

Ever since the first time they had seen Su Ran's Blood Poison act up, the eyes of many disciples in the Snow Region of Extreme Ice had gradually changed a little when they looked at her. Su Ran Xue knew that she was a monster in their eyes. Although the duration of the blood poison acting up was extended from half a year to two years with the help of her brother, as long as it was not completely cleared, there was still a possibility of an outbreak.

Su Ran Xue chose to stay out of the house. She didn't like the way people looked at her as if she was a monster!

As he watched his little sister grow increasingly silent and increasingly cold, Su Ran was confident that he would only be able to continuously study the medical books in the family. He hoped that he could find a way to thoroughly remove the poison in his little sister's body.

Su Ran Xue moved out of the Medicine Sect and stayed in the Scarlet Stone Cave at the back mountain. The high temperature there could help her suppress the blood poison as much as possible.

Remembering the past and once again looking at the youth's busy figure, Su Ran Xue mumbled to herself with misty eyes: "With you in this life, with big brother, I'm very happy!"

The girl laughed, then cried again.

The blood poison would flare up a total of seven times, and after seven times, the poisoned person would be unable to continue to withstand the invasion of the Yin energy and would completely turn into a monster without a consciousness.

Tomorrow was the sixth, only two years until the last attack. Su Ran Xue was very scared. She was afraid that she would forget about him and her brother. She wasn't afraid of death, but she didn't want to regret it for the rest of her life. If it was possible, she really wanted to stay by his side and view the boundless universe, just as the youth had said. No matter what his identity was, as long as there was a spot where she could see this man, it would be fine.

Mo Li, who was busy tidying up the medicinal ingredients, seemed to have felt Su Ran Xue's abnormality. Turning around, the young girl's tear-stained face made Mo Li's breathing pause for a short moment, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as needles.

Mo Li slowly walked in front of the young girl and gently embraced Su Ran Xue's soft body. Smelling the fragrance of her hair, Mo Li didn't know how to comfort the girl's seemingly strong but actually weak heart. He could only rest his chin on the young girl's head and whisper:

"Don't cry, I'm here. I will always be here in the future …"

A simple sentence was enough to cause a young girl's fear and fear to turn into happiness that overflowed out of her heart …
