"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Hua Wuyan said:
"The leader of this group is called Jin Wanguan. He proposed to control the Holy Son and seize his heart, which is the source of his power."
According to them, this holy son has the power to bestow wealth.
A few months ago, they tried to take action against the Holy Son, but they failed. They did not manage to seize his power, and the Holy Son instead lost his abilities.
For months, those who had lost the Son's financial support had suffered greatly, and thus harbored evil intentions again.
"A gift of wealth?" the actor asked, puzzled.
"Wealth created out of thin air?"
Hua Wuyan nodded: "That's exactly what they mean."
"He has such an ability?" Meng Danruo couldn't help but be surprised.
“Impossible,” Chi Feng said. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
To acquire this wealth, one must pay some price, or there's something wrong with this so-called wealth itself.
The actor nodded in agreement.
He continued, "And one more thing, what did they do a few months ago that caused the Holy Son to lose his powers?"
Chi Feng nodded: "This is very important."
"But they are very reluctant to bring this up. In the discussion among their own people just now, they were vague about the specific details of the matter."
Flowers speak no words.
The short-haired man with black hair standing next to Chi Feng, who was also the vice-captain of the Crimson Flame Team, Minghe, spoke up:
"Silence. What happened next? Why the internal strife?"
Hua Wuyan said, "Not all of them listen to Jin Wanguan. Some of them are unwilling to participate in Jin Wanguan's plan to take action against the Holy Son again."
Their proposal to leave Jinchan Village angered Jin Wanguan and his supporters, leading to a dispute.
Ultimately, the plan wasn't finalized, but Jin Wanguan's tone was very confident; taking action was only a matter of time.
"Oh right, among those who disagreed with the plan, someone said this—"
'We are already burdened with sins, having abandoned everything in pursuit of wealth; this life of wandering in our later years is merely retribution.'"
Chi Feng's eyes flashed: "As expected, the wealth we seek comes at a price."
In a flash, a brilliant idea struck the actor's mind, and he exclaimed:
"No way!"
"What?" Everyone turned to look at him.
The actor's face paled slightly: "Do you remember what I said?"
There are no women in this village, or rather, they... have all disappeared..."
Hua Wuyan's pupils constricted sharply, and she was horrified:
"Could the so-called price be...?"
female? !
Even the usually calm Styx's expression changed:
"So far, we have not found any of the missing women's bodies or...body."
Where did they go?
Meng Danruo's face turned pale, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Hua Wuyan's hand.
She suddenly froze, and exclaimed, "Hua Changle!"
Hua Wuyan was taken aback, and Meng Danruo repeated, "Only she got separated from us!"
Hua Wuyan's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked at Lingren and Raymond.
The performer's expression was also rather unpleasant, but he did not shirk responsibility, only saying, "There is still no news about her."
Hua Wuyan's face was pale, and Chi Feng reached out and grabbed his shoulder: "Calm down!"
Don't forget, this secret realm is very safe, there has never been a case of death, so it is unlikely that Hua Changle will get into trouble.
Besides, it's only the second day; she has the ability to protect herself, she'll be fine.
Hua Wuyan clenched her teeth, finally suppressing her temper; at this moment, getting angry was of no use.
"The most urgent task now is to find Hua Changle and the Holy Son."
As soon as Chifeng finished speaking, the actor's communicator responded, and Bai Xie's voice came through:
"We've found Hua Changle."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could say anything, Bai Xie's voice came again:
"She is with the Holy Son."
"What!"
————
When Hua Changle woke up groggily, she saw three people sitting beside her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Ming Xi, Ku Laiyi, and Bai Xie.
Mingxi sat opposite Kulaiyi and Baixie, his back tense, still holding Hua Changle's hand tightly without letting go.
Kulei stared at his claw, his whole being like a volcano about to erupt.
Bai Xie sat casually next to Kulei, his gaze indifferent yet undeniable, like a lackey supporting the boss.
What's going on?
Hua Changle felt dizzy and wasn't fully alert.
She thought back carefully, and her memory stopped at the old woman's house during the day, where Mingxi found her and brought her back. After getting angry, Mingxi knocked her unconscious.
Looking at the sky again, she realized it was already night, and she had been unconscious for a long time.
It seems that Kulai and Bai Xie found her while she was unconscious.
Bai Xie noticed she was awake first and immediately stood up: "She's awake."
Kulai and Mingxi turned around almost simultaneously and asked in unison, "Lele, are you alright?"
After they finished speaking, they exchanged a glance, sparks flying between them.
Kulai snorted coldly, turned around and touched her forehead, then slapped Mingxi's hand away when he wasn't looking.
Mingxi was furious and reached out again, but was blocked by Kulai. Mingxi tried again, and Kulai blocked him again.
The two swung their arms around each other like they were sparring, their hands almost sparking.
Hua Changle was speechless with astonishment.
Mingxi suffered repeated defeats, and his eyes reddened with anger. He shouted in a fit of rage, "You can't take people from me!"
"Bullshit!" Kulei pronounced the two words clearly.
She glared at him and said fiercely, "Lele is mine!"
