Chapter 151 The Death Palace Takes on a Job
Unfortunately, despite the full force of all forces, they were ultimately unable to capture Chen Wan'er.
No one could even describe what she looked like.
She is like an illusory shadow, coming and going without a trace, leaving behind only a series of puzzling mysteries.
Wang Anyuan was immersed in thinking about this series of strange events when he heard a report from outside the door:
"City Lord, the wife of Liuli Sect is here."
"Please come in!"
Upon hearing that it was his wife coming, Wang Anyuan hurriedly waved his hand to signal others to step aside first, straightened his clothes, and prepared to greet her.
As soon as Zou Yue entered the room, Wang Anyuan came forward with a smile on his face and said eagerly:
"Madam, you came at the perfect time today. I just happened to have something important to discuss with you."
When Zou Yue heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"Have you caught Chen Wan'er, the murderer of my son?"
Wang Anyuan saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hands and explained:
"Madam, please don't be anxious, and listen to me carefully.
Although I haven't caught Chen Wan'er yet, I have some other information about her."
When Zou Yue heard this, the hope that had been ignited in him instantly turned into anger.
There was a lot of talk outside that Chen Wan'er had appeared in Anyuan City, but he couldn't even catch her!
"Wang Anyuan, do you still have us, mother and son, in your heart?
Have you been hoping for my son to die so that you can make room for your son, the son of that vixen?"
Zou Yue became angrier as he spoke, and he caught a glimpse of a fox ornament carved from warm jade placed on the table in the room.
He was filled with anger and took a few steps forward, sweeping it to the ground. With a crisp sound of shattering, the ornament turned into countless pieces.
"I'm telling you, Wang Anyuan, as long as I, Zou Yue, am still alive, that vixen's son will never dare covet my son's position. I will never allow it!"
Seeing this, Wang Anyuan hurried forward and carefully hugged Zou Yue, comforting her softly while saying:
"Madam, madam, calm down. If there is anything in this room that you don't like, feel free to smash it.
But please don't get too angry and harm yourself. Don't worry, I will naturally pass the position of city lord to our son in the future."
Zou Yue snorted coldly, and with a strong push, pushed Wang Anyuan away, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Our son? Our son is already dead, and the murderer has run to your Anyuan City and is wreaking havoc, yet you actually let her go?
Did you go to that vixen again today, and that's why you didn't catch the murderer in time?"
Wang Anyuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he was secretly surprised. How could she know?
He was indeed upset these days because of his third son's affairs, so he thought of going there to take shelter for a while and relax.
But who would have thought that before he had even stayed there for a quarter of an hour, he heard the news that Chen Wan'er had appeared.
He had no choice but to rush out to catch the man, but found nothing.
But at this moment, he could not admit it no matter what, otherwise, with Zou Yue's temper, he would probably cause chaos again.
"Madam, you have wronged me today. I have been concentrating on catching the murderer of our son."
"I wronged you today? So, according to you, I never wronged you in the past?"
Zou Yue keenly grasped the loophole in his words and kept asking questions.
"Madam, Madam, let's not talk about the past anymore. I came to you today because I really have something important to tell you."
Wang Anyuan quickly changed the subject.
"Hasn't your Liuli Sect been hunting down Chen Wan'er lately? Have any of your disciples' cultivation levels declined?"
When Zou Yue heard the words "cultivation level declines", he was stunned and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the one who killed her son was an evil cultivator?
If this is true, then Chen Wan'er's crime is even more unforgivable.
Evil cultivators have always been like pests in the fields. No matter how many batches you kill, another batch comes back, wantonly destroying the peace of the world of immortal cultivation.
Since she dared to attack her own son, don't blame her for being cruel.
She wants all the evil cultivators in the world to be buried with her son!
Seeing that Zou Yue didn't respond for a long time, Wang Anyuan thought she had thought of some clue.
"Ma'am, have you thought of something?"
Zou Yue finally came back to his senses and shook his head and said:
"No, we in the Liuli Sect don't have the symptoms you described."
Wang Anyuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that this has nothing to do with Chen Wan'er?"
When Zou Yue heard this, he immediately interrupted him and said firmly:
"Regardless of whether they are related or not, Chen Wan'er is the murderer of my son. I will never let her go."
Wang Anyuan nodded quickly and said in agreement:
"Madam, don't worry. No matter who Chen Wan'er is, I will do my best to capture her and avenge our son."
Zou Yue snorted inwardly, a hint of disdain and suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Humph, if her son was really murdered by that vixen mother and son, I'm afraid Wang Anyuan would not say it so lightly.
In fact, she did have doubts about this mother and son.
However, her son had already cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Stage. In this world of immortal cultivation where the strong are respected, if the murderer wanted to take his life quietly, he would have to have at least reached the Void Refinement Stage.
And there was no one with such high level of cultivation around the vixen mother and son.
It is absolutely impossible for them to do it on their own.
However, when it comes to evil cultivators, the situation is completely different.
Evil cultivators use strange methods and act cruelly, so perhaps they don't need to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Even an evil cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage could kill her son with some unorthodox techniques and sinister means.
Thinking of this, Zou Yue became extremely anxious and could no longer sit still.
She made a prompt decision, got up hastily, and rushed back to Liuli Sect.
As soon as she returned to the sect, she immediately mobilized people and ordered them to make every effort to find out the list of evil cultivators who had entered Anyuan City during this period. Not even the slightest clue should be missed.
As for Wang Anyuan, Zou Yue no longer had any hope for him.
After all, as the city lord, Wang Anyuan had many children. Even if one son died, he still had other sons to inherit his life.
But what about her?
She only has this one son, who is her only sustenance and hope during these long and arduous years of practice.
The path of cultivation is difficult, and having children is even harder. Now that she has cultivated to the second level of fusion, she is afraid that she will never be able to have children again in the future.
How could Wang Anyuan understand the pain of losing his son?
Thinking of this, Zou Yue's eyes became more determined. No matter what the cost, she would find the murderer and seek justice for her son.
Since he had determined that the other party might be an evil cultivator, Zou Yue knew that the matter was thorny and no longer placed his hopes on the Liuli Sect's disciples to continue the investigation.
She thought for a moment and turned her gaze to the Death Palace, a notorious place in the world of immortal cultivation that specializes in undertaking murders.
In her opinion, only this group of ruthless and unscrupulous guys might have the ability to kill Chen Wan'er.
Zou Yue hurried to the Hall of Death, his face gloomy and his eyes filled with endless hatred and determination.
She stated her purpose without hesitation, requesting that Jueming Palace send experts to hunt down Chen Wan'er, and said with gritted teeth:
"I don't care if I live or die, as long as I can avenge my son!"
