Chapter 135: Subjugating Wang Lei
"Okay, you can step back.
If this matter is handled properly, you will naturally be included in the next stage of the antidote."
The Great Elder bowed respectfully and retreated in a hurry without delaying for even a moment.
Li Wen immediately ordered people to move all his belongings to the clan leader's residence.
Now, he finally got what he wanted and took the first step of his plan.
Next, we must devote all our efforts to developing and strengthening the Blood Demon Sect.
After explaining the outcome of all this to Chen Wan'er, Li Wen quickly received her reply:
"Try to find an insider in the Qianhuan Sect to help me infiltrate. I must personally conduct an in-depth investigation.
If the Qianhuan Sect is truly hiding something fishy, I will stay there as your undercover agent, providing support from within."
Li Wen really didn't expect that Chen Wan'er, a woman, would be so courageous and willing to take risks.
Thinking of this, his gratitude towards Gao Huohuo deepened.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly on Li Wen's side and that he had basically settled down, Gao Huohuo sent a message to Wang Lei:
"Today I came to the place where we first met. I have something important to discuss with you."
When Wang Lei received Gao Huohuo's message, he felt mixed emotions.
That encounter in the dark river was like a small ripple in the long river of life for him.
After all, the two of them had only made a verbal agreement at the time, and he even thought that Gao Huohuo had already forgotten about the matter.
When he hurried to the agreed place, he looked up and saw Gao Huohuo.
Seeing that she was still at the fifth level of Golden Core, he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind.
"My Lord, a year has passed without a word from you. I thought you had forgotten all about me."
Wang Lei spoke first. Although his words were still respectful, he could not hide the tentative intention in them.
Gao Huohuo's eyes were indifferent, and with just a light glance, he could see Wang Lei's cultivation level - the eighth level of Nascent Soul.
No wonder the arrogance in these words is almost overflowing.
In front of Wang Lei, Gao Huohuo calmly took out a pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Wang Lei thought that she had not recovered from her injury over the past year and was looking to take advantage of her. He was suddenly very excited.
But in a flash, the smug look on his face froze.
Gao Huohuo's lips curled up in a mocking arc, and then he felt his whole body numb.
Except for the mouth which could be opened and closed, all the limbs seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could not move.
"Sir, I...what's wrong with me?"
Wang Lei widened his eyes in horror and looked at Gao Huohuo.
"Nothing," Gao Huohuo said in a cold tone.
"I just can't stand the way you're talking to me now, so I'm punishing you a little to teach you a lesson."
Wang Lei's mind raced, and he instantly understood that this was clearly Gao Huohuo's warning to him.
Although Gao Huohuo has not had any physical contact with him since they met.
But this one move alone was enough to make him realize it clearly.
Even though he has now reached the high-level Nascent Soul stage, he is still powerless to fight back against Gao Huohuo, who is at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage.
It would be easy for others to control him.
"Sir, I was disrespectful and offended you. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't do it again!"
Wang Lei panicked and his voice trembled unconsciously.
Gao Huohuo then walked slowly to him and whispered softly:
"Wang Lei, ever since you chose that path, your life has been in my hands. Do you really think you can escape from my control?"
When Wang Lei heard this, his legs went weak with fear and his voice trembled:
"Sir, I have been blinded by greed, arrogant, and blind. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time!
From now on, I will follow your lead and go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Seeing that the purpose of deterrence had been achieved, Gao Huohuo nodded slightly and said:
"This is your last chance. If you do it again, it won't just be paralysis."
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you for your kindness!"
Wang Lei responded hurriedly as if he had been pardoned.
"In that case, then open your heart. I want to conclude a master-servant contract with you. Of course, if you don't want to, you are free to refuse."
Gao Huohuo said this calmly.
Reject? Wang Lei smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he have the guts to do that?
At this moment, he had no choice at all.
After the contract was concluded, Wang Lei felt the restraints on his body loosened and he finally regained his freedom of movement.
He glanced at Gao Huohuo with lingering fear and asked hurriedly:
"Sir, why did you summon me here?
As long as you command me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Gao Huohuo turned his gaze to Wang Lei and asked softly:
"What has the Saint been doing in the past year?"
Wang Lei quickly bowed his head and replied respectfully:
"My Lord, the Saint has been staying in seclusion within the Liuli Sect since the incident at the Dark River. I heard that she was assassinated and has been recuperating in seclusion."
When Gao Huohuo heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. How could a dignified saint be so embarrassed and fearful?
"You've been running around for the Liuli Sect for years. In your opinion, besides the Saint Girl, what are the characters of the other Liuli Sect members like?"
Gao Huohuo changed the subject and asked again.
Wang Lei frowned slightly, thought seriously for a moment, and then spoke cautiously:
"Sir, apart from the few who are close to the Saint, most of the female cultivators of the Liuli Sect are generally decent in their conduct."
Gao Huohuo, who had originally intended to uphold justice and punish the evildoers, slumped his shoulders slightly and looked a little lost when he heard this.
It seems that the big sects have a profound foundation and strict rules.
Except for a few people with evil intentions, the vast majority of disciples are of good character and good family background.
"If that's the case, then why did the Liuli Sect choose Chen Wanzhen as the Saint? Is there no one else in the sect to choose from?"
Gao Huohuo frowned slightly, his tone full of doubt.
Wang Lei bowed slightly and explained:
“Sir, it is said that the Saint is extremely talented.
He is renowned within the Liuli Sect for his noble character and is deeply respected and admired by all the monks."
"Humph," Gao Huohuo snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "If that's the case, then those elders and the leader of the Liuli Sect are blind.
Well, as long as the Liuli Sect doesn't interfere in my affairs, I'll let them go for now."
Wang Lei heard this and thought to himself that if these words were uttered by someone else, they would definitely be regarded as ignorant and arrogant.
But when Gao Huohuo said it, it inexplicably made people feel that she had enough confidence and ability to make it a reality.
"Wang Lei," Gao Huohuo's voice interrupted his thoughts, "I will now give you a task. Go and carefully investigate the sects surrounding the Liuli Sect.
Find someone who appears to be decent but actually does dirty things behind the scenes, and try to sneak in and replace him.
Of course, I will send people to assist you, and you don't have to choose a large sect above level three, a small sect of level four or five will suffice."
Hearing this, Wang Lei's heart moved, and he asked again with a little hesitation:
"Sir, when you say replace someone, do you mean let me be the leader of that sect?"
Gao Huohuo glanced at him, with a half-smile: "What else? Are you going to let me become the sect leader?"
"I dare not," Wang Lei waved his hands in fear, "I understand."
When Wang Lei thought that he actually had the opportunity to become the leader of a sect, his blood instantly boiled and he was filled with excitement.
Who wouldn’t be moved by such a beautiful thing?
