Chapter 156: A man's mouth is a lie
Zou Yue secretly rejoiced that he had the foresight to contact the people from the Death Hall early on to deal with Chen Wan'er.
However, the situation has changed now and one more requirement has to be added.
Be sure to find out the cause of this strange illness before getting rid of her.
With this thought in mind, Zou Yue immediately contacted the manager of the Death Hall.
"Manager Li, how is your Jueming Palace's plan to deal with Chen Wan'er going?"
At this moment, Manager Li, who received Zou Yue's message, was reporting to his superiors.
Just this morning, Cai Kang suddenly sent him an urgent message.
His tone was full of panic, and he said that his cultivation had inexplicably declined and he was afraid that he would not be able to accept the mission.
When Manager Li heard the news, he couldn't help but look surprised.
A drop in cultivation? How could this happen for no apparent reason?
Full of doubts, he immediately rushed to check on Cai Kang's condition, but what he saw shocked him.
Cai Kang was a cultivator at the third level of the Void Refinement Stage, but now his cultivation level has plummeted like a broken dam, plummeting all the way to the Great Perfection Stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Manager Li felt a tightness in his heart and hurried forward to investigate carefully.
However, he checked Cai Kang's body thoroughly but found nothing unusual.
Without delay, Manager Li did not dare to delay and reported the whole story to his superiors in a hurry.
"Sir, Cai Kang's cultivation has plummeted. Given the current situation, should we quickly send someone else to hunt down Chen Wan'er?"
The elder sitting at the head nodded slightly, then asked again:
"Cai Kang has the same symptoms as us, have other people in the Death Palace experienced similar symptoms?"
Manager Li shook his head quickly and replied solemnly:
“He’s the only one like that right now.
If there were a few more, there would be a big mess in our Death Hall.
The enemy has reached our doorstep, yet we don’t even know who our opponent is.”
"Alright, then let Cai Kang rest and recuperate first, and we'll send someone else to handle it."
After leaving his superiors, Manager Li finally found time to reply to Zou Yue:
"Don't worry, everything is progressing smoothly."
In the Death Hall, there are more than just Cai Kang, a killer in the Nascent Soul stage. If one falls, there are still many more to come.
No matter what, the signboard of Jueming Hall cannot be destroyed. If this gets out, who will dare to ask them for help in the future?
When Zou Yue received the reply from Manager Li, his heart finally settled down and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is a professional killer organization hired with spirit stones, so you can trust them to do their work.
As long as the Death Palace can successfully capture Chen Wan'er, the cause of her strange illness will soon be revealed.
Zou Yue thought that with the ability of the Death Hall, they should be able to capture Chen Wan'er within a month.
After all, since its establishment, the Death Palace has never taken on any task that took more than a month to complete.
Zou Yue was afraid of bringing disaster to the sect, so she simply did not return to Liuli Sect.
He moved directly into the City Lord's Mansion and stayed with Wang Anyuan day and night.
This was a tough time for Wang Anyuan, as he could no longer see any of his usually gentle and kind wives.
Even his daughters, who used to be around him to show their filial piety and make him happy, are now silent and none of them dare to show up.
After all, Zou Yue is very famous in the world of immortal cultivation and is a member of the Liuli Sect.
Who is so bold as to act recklessly in front of her?
That day, Wang Anyuan saw that Zou Yue's expression had relaxed a little, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
He then tentatively asked, "Madam, I see that you don't seem to be so anxious to avenge our son these days, but what are your plans?"
Zou Yue glanced at Wang Anyuan indifferently and snorted in his heart.
Don't think that she can't see through this man's thoughts. He just wants her to leave as soon as possible so that she won't be an eyesore to some people here.
She curled her lips in disdain and said coldly:
"Wang Anyuan, I will take care of my son's affairs. There will definitely be a result within a month.
You should take care of your own business first!"
Zou Yue was filled with regret when he thought about how he had been blinded by greed and fallen for such a sentimental guy.
When Wang Anyuan heard the words "within a month", his heart was shocked and he understood instantly.
He asked anxiously, "Did you find someone from the Death Palace?"
Zou Yue frowned impatiently and replied:
"So what? As a father, I don't see you caring about your son's affairs. As a mother, I can't just sit back and do nothing."
If it weren't for the need to protect the position of city lord and prevent it from falling into the hands of others, my son would still be living well in the Liuli Sect.
"Madam, you are really wronging me. As a father, how can I ignore my son's affairs?
But I recently heard a piece of news that something seems to have happened to the assassins in Jueming Temple."
Wang Anyuan explained sincerely.
Zou Yue was just about to ask what the problem was.
Suddenly, a familiar, frightening feeling came over her—the terrifying feeling of her cultivation being inexplicably lost last time came again.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced her skills to try to resist this inexplicable force.
However, everything was in vain, and she could only helplessly watch as her cultivation level plummeted like flowing water.
In contrast, Wang Anyuan was safe and sound at this moment.
He was staring at Zou Yue with curiosity, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Madam, could it be that you are the one who caused this? Otherwise, why are you the only one who got hurt?"
Wang Anyuan couldn't help but ask.
Zou Yue was anxious and angry. He frantically stuffed the pill into his mouth while cursing at Wang Anyuan:
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's obviously because of you, maybe it's that woman you provoked before who's behind this.
Think carefully, have you ever provoked the evil female cultivator named Chen before?"
After being yelled at by her, Wang Anyuan really started searching his mind seriously.
But when I think back, I either have forgotten the names of those beauties long ago, or I don’t remember their names at all.
Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and the familiar feeling of losing cultivation also surged over him.
He was horrified and hurriedly followed Zou Yue's example, sitting cross-legged on the ground and swallowing the pills desperately.
Seeing that Wang Anyuan also began to suffer, Zou Yue felt inexplicably balanced.
She looked at Wang Anyuan, a slightly sarcastic smile on her lips.
He teased, "How's that? Now you remember which female cultivator you let down?"
When Wang Anyuan heard Zou Yue's teasing words, he hurried to comfort her.
"Ma'am, you know my heart belongs to you alone. Where is anyone else?"
Zou Yue sneered and said, “Then I really wronged my husband. Does my husband dare to swear an oath to heaven?
Say what you just said again?"
Does this woman think he didn't die quickly enough?
It would be fine if he just wanted to coax her, but why did he have to swear an oath to heaven?
The issue of his declining cultivation level has not been resolved yet, and now that he has made the oath to heaven, he is afraid that he will be struck to death by thunder in the next instant.
Seeing that Wang Anyuan was silent, he stopped talking.
Zou Yue angrily cursed, "Sweet talk, fickle, heartless, a beast in human clothing."
Hearing the insults getting more and more unpleasant, Wang Anyuan's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to talk back.
