Perhaps, in a certain sense, Su Jiu was not much of a good person either.
She had clearly seen every change taking place in her enemies, yet had no intention of warning them. She could even maintain a perfectly normal expression while drawing information out of the two of them.
"Have you seen Feng Qi and Ning Hai?"
Dao Lord Long Kuo was somewhat surprised. He had assumed Su Jiu would ask about Yun Huanling and Xia Jue first, but instead, she had asked about the two people he considered least important.
Still, he truly had not seen those two. "No... neither of them was among the bodies I saw."
In other words, they were most likely still alive. After all, if Feng Qi and Ning Hai had been among the corpses spat out by the Forbidden Zone, someone would surely have notified the Azure Tide Sect disciples already.
They were neither among those who had died inside the Forbidden Zone nor among the corpses outside it. This was undoubtedly fairly good news.
Su Jiu's persistently grim expression finally eased a little, but that improvement did not last long before another sudden change occurred...
The two men, who had still been about to say something to her, suddenly paled. Their bodies curled up as though someone had punched them, and their legs gave way beneath the pain, sending them collapsing to the ground.
Beads of sweat the size of beans began appearing on their foreheads, and their faces grew increasingly pale.
Had anyone else been standing beside them, they might not have known what was happening. Only Su Jiu...
Su Jiu was actually somewhat surprised as she watched their condition.
The two seeds that had been struggling to grow had stopped growing almost instantly. They had even begun to wither.
