The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 115

When he thought of this most-likely scenario, Xue Chengxuan suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. Ji Wujiong's tongue was nasty, but his eyes were very sharp. No one knew who he was or his origin, but his hostility towards medical sects was very apparent, as if he had some kind of grudges against them.

"Let's go." Meng Qi put a note on Ji Wujiong's IOU, deducting ten profound-grade spirit stones from the total amount, "Ji Wujiong, you walk in front."

Ji Wujiong sneered in response, but he turned back to the snow wolf's body. After Ji Wujiong left the body, the snow wolf lay motionless on the ground, either dead or passed out. Ji Wujiong put his hand on the abdomen, and the snow wolf suddenly opened his eyes. His left eye, which was shut when Ji Wujiong possessed him, was also open at the time, just like a lantern. However, there was no light in those pair of eyes, as if the owner had no consciousness of his own.

The snow wolf opened his mouth and let out a few short howls. The pack of wolves surrounding Meng Qi and the others, including the six leaders on the hill, turned their heads and started running.

Su Junmo's frown deepened. His lips quivered, as if wanting to say something, but he stopped himself in time. This snow wolf was once a member of the celestial demon clan, exiled to the Starfallen Sea. Even if he was deprived of the ability to transform into a human form, even if his cultivation base could no longer grow, even if he was slowly eroded by Starfallen Sea miasma and gradually regressed into a normal beast... still, he was once part of the Demon Race's nobility, the member of the snow wolf clan, a clan powerful enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their fox clans.

And such a powerhouse was now commanded by Ji Wujiong like a common spirit beast. What exactly was this guy's origin?!

Su Junmo quickly glanced at Ji Wujiong. The black-robed man stood tall and arrogant. Without the black gauzed hat that he used to wear, his bare face was now visible for others to see, revealing half of his handsome face that was in contrast with the other half, which was scarred with grotesque and terrifying wounds.

Ji Wujiong walked to Meng Qi's side. After throwing Sikong Xing a light glance, he said casually, "Let's go."

Thanks to this delay, more than one hour had passed. The group hastened their speed and rushed towards the place where the firework signal was last seen. The rest had begrudgingly accepted Ji Wujiong's addition to the group, but they did not lower their guard.

Xu Zijun and Qin Xiumo kept their natal swords out, ready to strike any moment.

Su Junmo took a few steps back and walked in the back with Li Che and Xue Chengxuan.

Sikong Xing snorted. She raised her hand and flicked her fingers, summoning a wave of black water that rose up in response before throwing itself into the ground again. Sikong Xing didn't forget to give Ji Wujiong a glare, as if saying — each member of their team had their own role and responsibility, and this arrangement would not change even with his sudden addition.

Ji Wujiong chuckled in disdain, "Little girl, has your master never told you? The red foxes and the black tortoises are incompatible by nature. No matter how hard you try, at best, you could only learn one-third of his skills."

Ji Wujiong chuckled in disdain, "Little girl, has your master never told you? The red foxes and the black tortoises are incompatible by nature. No matter how hard you try, at best, you could only learn one-third of his skills."

"My master never said that!" Sikong Xing pointed her finger at Ji Wujiong. Fully aware that she had to tolerate having this guy on the team for the time being, she suppressed her anger and spoke more amicably, "My master said that everything depends on one's own effort. With enough hard work and perseverance, even destiny could be changed. Nothing is impossible on the road to attain the Dao." She paused to take a deep breath before continuing, "Besides, what I have achieved so far is not even one-tenth of my master's. If I truly can reach one-third, I will be satisfied beyond belief. Oh right, maybe I should thank you instead for your well-wish!"
