The Shadow-Binding Insect directly tied Feng Jiaojiao up before Huo Hai took her away. He truly did not want any further contact with her. Heaven knew what sort of mark she might leave on him again otherwise.
If it had been poison, Huo Hai would not have feared it at all. Once poison entered his body, his own ability to eliminate toxins would alert him to it; failing that, there was still Little Gold. But these special marks were neither poison nor medicine, nor were they useful pills. They were simply special substances that caused no harm yet were not impurities either, and that made Huo Hai miserable.
No matter how Feng Jiaojiao screamed and shouted, Huo Hai had made up his mind to have the Shadow-Binding Insect drag her along. The other end of the insect was attached to him anyway, so it could keep up with his speed. It had no impact on him whatsoever.
If Feng Jiaojiao had the ability to tamper with the Shadow-Binding Insect itself, then Huo Hai could only admit defeat.
Not long after the two left, the airship drew close to the territory of the Medicine King Sect. "The Medicine King Sect's base lies ahead. I'm afraid we can no longer search so openly and with such fanfare." In the sky, an old man looked at the map and spoke with a frown.
A sharp glint flashed through the eldest prince's eyes. "No matter what, we cannot let Huo Hai go. Even if it means offending the Medicine King Sect, it will be worth it." The jealousy and fury in his eyes seemed ready to burst into flames. The old man shot him a sidelong glance, sighed, and said nothing. In the end, he merely made a hand signal to those behind him.
