Chapter 154 Wang Anyuan and Zou Yue were caught
Seeing that everyone had made almost all the preparations, Gao Huohuo distributed the spiritual power beads he had prepared in advance one by one.
Each of them received a bag, but she only bypassed her master, Shen Cangxuan.
Bai He blinked his lively eyes and asked timidly with a hint of uncertainty:
"Junior Master, do I...do I have a share too?"
The little guy was still thinking about the fight he had with his junior master.
Although I had no choice at that time, I was still worried that my uncle would hold a grudge against me.
"Of course, everyone in our Shadow Moon Sect gets a share!"
Gao Huohuo was smiling and speaking cheerfully.
As soon as the words fell here, he caught a glimpse of Master Shen Cangxuan's face suddenly darkened from the corner of his eye.
Gao Huohuo was shocked and hurriedly ran to his master.
He tightly grasped Shen Cangxuan's sleeves with both hands, a flattering smile on his face.
She said in a delicate voice: "Master, my spiritual energy bead is just a little gadget I tinkered with when I was free.
With your level of cultivation, how could I possibly catch your eye?
But don't worry, I have some rare treasures hidden here, specially reserved for you, one and only!"
As he spoke, he took out the Yujian flower he had picked earlier from his storage ring like a magic trick and handed it to Shen Cangxuan respectfully.
Shen Cangxuan's expression eased slightly after receiving this filial tribute from his little disciple.
He snorted and said, "You still have some filial piety."
"Master, what are you talking about?
Even if I forget who I am, I will never forget you, Master!"
Gao Huohuo's little mouth was as sweet as if it was covered with honey.
Shen Cangxuan raised his hand and tapped her head lightly, pretending to be angry and said:
"You're such a smooth talker! Go and cook! I'm hungry."
Gao Huohuo secretly complained in his heart: Master is obviously greedy, he is not really hungry.
But he did not dare to show any slackness on his face. He still put on an appearance of utmost respect and ran busily to prepare food.
For a moment, the Shadow Moon Sect was in a happy mood under the "buffet feast" carefully prepared by Gao Huohuo.
However, at the same time, Anyuan City was in a tense scene with a storm on the horizon.
In the palace of the city lord of Anyuan City.
Wang Anyuan was fidgeting, his face full of anxiety.
He cautiously asked the monk opposite him who looked like an immortal:
"Senior Liu, what do you think is going on with me?"
Liu Siyuan stroked his long beard, frowned slightly, and looked solemn:
"City Lord Wang, please gather all the people who have the same symptoms as you so I can take a closer look."
Wang Anyuan quickly waved his hand to signal, and soon, those monks whose cultivation levels had inexplicably declined came in one after another.
Among the crowd, the conditions of a few were particularly serious.
As his cultivation level continued to decline, his face aged rapidly, and he looked listless and old.
Upon seeing this, Liu Siyuan immediately activated his spiritual power and checked the physical conditions of these monks one by one.
However, after some investigation, he became more and more confused.
This disease is really strange and bizarre, never seen before.
Not to mention a cure, we have no idea what the cause of the disease is.
He thought to himself, could it be that the reputation of the miraculous doctor and the renown for alchemy that has been passed down through the generations in the Liu family would be destroyed by him today?
Just as I was about to explore further, someone suddenly rushed in from outside.
When this person entered the house, he saw everyone gathered inside. Without saying a word, he shouted, "Everyone get out!"
Wang Anyuan looked closely and saw that the person coming was Zou Yue.
At this moment, her face was full of panic and confusion, and she was obviously in poor condition.
"Senior Liu, please move to the front hall and sit for a moment. I'll take care of some household chores and will be right back."
Wang Anyuan hurriedly stood up and apologized to Liu Siyuan.
If Liu Siyuan had been treated so rudely on any other day, he would have definitely walked away.
But today was different. He urgently needed time to thoroughly investigate the cause of the illness, so he didn't bother too much with such trivial matters.
He then proposed to Wang Anyuan:
"City Lord, can these people come with me to the front hall? I need to continue observing."
"Of course no problem, thank you Senior Liu."
Wang Anyuan responded quickly.
Only after everyone else had left did Zou Yue come to his senses.
She was extremely anxious and grabbed Wang Anyuan's arm, staring at him.
He asked anxiously, "Is that someone from the Liu family? Have you found the reason for the decline in their cultivation?"
When Wang Anyuan heard Zou Yue ask this question, he was suddenly stunned.
A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that Zou Yue had also experienced the same strange decline in cultivation as himself?
So he asked, "Madam, is your cultivation also starting to decline?"
When Zou Yue heard this, he immediately understood.
It turns out that the Liu family members didn't come just for others.
Wang Anyuan was obviously in the same predicament as her, with his cultivation level plummeting.
Zou Yue looked a little confused and nodded slightly.
Then he asked again: "When did your symptoms start? When did they stop?"
Her eyes were full of anxiety, as if she wanted to find some key clues from this time point.
Wang Anyuan did not dare to hide anything and quickly responded truthfully:
"Symptoms first appeared just after the third quarter of the You hour, and gradually subsided around the first quarter of the Chen hour."
Hearing this, Zou Yue couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice full of confusion and surprise:
"Exactly the same, exactly the same... What on earth is going on?"
Wang Anyuan also had a face full of suspicion and a frown on his face.
Zou Yue and he looked at each other, both of them were confused.
"Have other people in your Liuli Sect ever experienced similar symptoms?"
Wang Anyuan was the first to break the silence, his eyes fixed on Zou Yue, trying to get more information from her.
Zou Yue shook his head slowly, looking slightly tired.
She sighed slightly and said, "After I returned to the sect, I made inquiries and made detailed inquiries.
I haven't found anyone else with these symptoms, and now it seems I'm the only one."
Having said this, Zou Yue seemed to suddenly realize something.
Anger instantly ignited in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her head with her eyes wide open.
He asked angrily:
"Wang Anyuan, is all this directed at you? Have I been implicated by you?"
Wang Anyuan felt nervous and a little lacking in confidence.
I thought to myself: Could it really be because of me?
Otherwise, why would only the people in Anyuan City show such strange symptoms?
Besides, Zou Yue contracted this strange disease after coming into contact with himself.
"Madam, don't worry. If it's really because of me that they came here, I will risk my life to find out the mastermind behind this and make him double the amount of cultivation we lost.
But right now, we still need to ask Senior Liu to come over and see if we can find out the cause of the illness."
Wang Anyuan spoke sincerely, trying to calm Zou Yue's emotions.
Zou Yue gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
In her opinion, the most urgent task is to find out the cause of the disease first.
As for the temporary loss of cultivation, it is a small matter in comparison.
After all, with their profound foundation as cultivators in the fusion stage, a slight drop in their cultivation would not cause serious damage for the time being.
But if the root cause of the problem cannot be found and the cultivation level is allowed to continue to decline, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Soon, Liu Siyuan was invited into the house again.
I heard that even a master like Zou Yue from the Liuli Sect was not spared and was also attacked by this inexplicable disease.
His expression suddenly became serious, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
