Chapter 3988: 4.1588 Three-State Wide Hunt

Qiao Mu's eyes lit up. "Soul Nourishment Pill." This item was perfect for Murong Xun, subtly repairing her soul while providing gentle nourishment. At least until she found the Jade-Eyed Three-Headed Hound, giving Murong Xun one pill every half month would keep her soul intact. Murong Xun's injuries were severe back then, and she hadn't received timely treatment... Therefore, her condition was actually much more serious than Mo Lian's mother's.

"Qiaoqiao, are you blaming Dean Yun for making decisions on his own?" Mo Lian saw her holding the pill, lost in thought again, and couldn't help but gently shake her hand.

Qiao Mu came back to her senses and shook her head at him. "Only the incompetent blame others. I don't blame anyone." She didn't blame Yun Cong for not trusting her and seeking out a skilled alchemist from Medicine King Island; after all, Yun Cong's intentions were good, and he also wanted to save Murong Xun. Moreover, if he hadn't arrived in time and brought Murong Xun back, perhaps when she arrived, she would have seen Murong Xun with only a head left, just like her Third Martial Uncle? The thought made Qiao Mu shiver. What right did she have to blame others? It was her, the disciple, who was incompetent, unable to help her master.

As for Grand Elder He Wen, he was merely an outsider to them. For an outsider to go to such lengths was already commendable. Although he also had the selfish desire for fame and recognition, how could she demand an outsider to devote himself wholeheartedly to her master?

"Qiaoqiao," Mo Lian's heart ached. He hugged the little girl and kissed her. "Now we only need the Jade-Eyed Three-Headed Hound's blood, right? Don't worry, we'll definitely find it." At times, the little girl was so sensible it made his heart ache. If she were to blame Yun Cong or He Wen, perhaps she might feel a little better, but she disdained such an act. Murong Xun was her master, her kin, and the responsibility of saving Murong Xun was one the little girl shouldered alone.

Mo Lian gently lifted her chin, rubbing against her face. "The Tower of Punishment was established by the Dao of Heaven. Before we escaped, that fierce beast had already fled."

"At least on that particular level, in the remaining stone doors, we didn't find it at all."

"That means it escaped early! It wasn't in the Tower of Punishment at all."

"As a guardian beast of a level, if it simply ran away and wandered off, do you think the Dao of Heaven, with its petty nature, would let it off?"

Qiao Mu blinked her large eyes. Mo Lian's meaning was that the fierce beast must now be hiding somewhere in the world, feigning death?

"Where in the world do we find it?" Qiaoqiao Daren asked curiously.

Mo Lian smiled. "We can put a bounty on it!"

Qiao Mu's jaw almost dropped. "A bounty on it?" A bounty on a fierce beast? Qiaoqiao Daren suddenly felt, why is this beast so unlucky? It finally escaped from prison, and now, for no apparent reason, it's being hunted across all three states. Who can it complain to?

Mo Lian nodded, smiling. "We can send people to Jiawei City to post the task. Ostensibly, we'll let all assassins from the underground black market search for it. Covertly, we'll mobilize people from the Dark Night Pavilion to quietly search, gathering all clues, verifying their authenticity one by one. By then... we'll surely have news."

"There's also another possibility," Mo Lian said softly, stroking his little wife's hair. "Perhaps it's hiding with some powerful figure, avoiding the Dao of Heaven."
