Chapter 157 The Cruel Chen Wan'er
In this way, the two of them, one full of resentment and the other pretending to be innocent, spent the night blaming each other and secretly criticizing each other.
As the sky gradually brightened, they were shocked to realize that their cultivation level was declining rapidly, visibly to the naked eye.
When their eyes met, panic was evident. No matter how calm they were normally, they were at a loss at this moment.
Zou Yue made a prompt decision and hurriedly contacted Manager Li from the Death Hall.
Little did they know that at this moment, Manager Li's mind was in a mess and he was panic-stricken and at a loss.
Ever since Cai Kang's cultivation level suddenly dropped inexplicably, the Death Palace has successively sent three capable cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage to hunt down Chen Wan'er.
I thought that with our numbers, we would be able to complete the difficult task.
Who would have thought that these three people would be infected one after another.
As a result, Chen Wan'er's reward for this task soared from the initial 5,000 high-grade spirit stones to 20,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Even though the price was so tempting, no one dared to take it.
The reason is simple. Any cultivator who takes over this order will see his cultivation level plummet like falling into an abyss.
Among the four unlucky guys who took the order earlier, one of them was the most miserable.
He fell all the way from the high level of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Yuanying Stage, and now he is so scared that he stays indoors, like a frightened bird.
After all, those who can struggle and reach the stage of refining emptiness in this path of cultivation are all tough guys who have gone through countless hardships and dangers and emerged from mountains of swords and seas of fire.
What's more, as killers, they have made countless enemies and their foes are everywhere.
Once the sudden drop in cultivation is leaked, enemies will take advantage of the situation and kill you before your cultivation is completely dissipated.
Manager Li was extremely anxious at the moment. On the one hand, he was worried about this hot potato that no one dared to take on. On the other hand, his Void Refining Monks were all "infected".
This has a huge impact on the future development of the Death Hall.
Especially for the annual internal competition, how can it hold up without these backbone forces?
He had originally hoped that he could be promoted to the next level based on his outstanding performance this year.
In the current situation, it is not certain whether one can keep the current position, let alone promotion.
Thinking of this, he secretly swore that if Liuli Sect had another commission in the future, the reward must be tripled, and he would not accept a penny less.
Otherwise, the Death Palace will be dragged down.
At the same time, Chen Wanzhen in Liuli Sect just received a secret report.
When she heard that Chen Wan'er had appeared near the sect, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen the dawn of hope for clearing her grievances.
At that moment, she anxiously gathered people and rushed to the place indicated by the news.
Before we got close to our destination, we could faintly hear the noise of fighting.
Chen Wanzhen was overwhelmed with emotion and was extremely excited.
He thought that Chen Wan'er was fighting fiercely with someone, and secretly felt lucky that he could capture her alive this time.
When I took a closer look, I was greatly disappointed.
I saw three or two people fighting for a spiritual herb, neither of them giving in.
Not to mention Chen Wan'er, there wasn't even a trace of a female cultivator at the scene.
Chen Wanzhen was anxious and shouted:
"Hey, you guys, have you ever seen a female cultivator named Chen Wan'er passing by here?"
Several people who were fighting fiercely pointed in a direction impatiently.
When Chen Wanzhen and her group hurried away, they stopped what they were doing instantly.
They looked at each other and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
Then, one of them used his magical powers and sent a message.
Chen Wanzhen quickly followed the instructions, and sure enough, the back of a female cultivator came into view in the distance.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her blood boiled.
He thought to himself that as long as he could capture Chen Wan'er this time.
Not only can he completely clear himself of suspicion, but he can also reshape his image in the hearts of the people in Liuli Sect and save face.
Seeing that the female cultivator in front was about to disappear from her sight, Chen Wanzhen became extremely anxious.
He quickened his pace and followed desperately.
However, in the next second, she felt a flash before her eyes, and an invisible force rushed towards her.
Her entire body was blocked outside, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward.
"Saint, we are trapped in the barrier. What should we do?"
The attendant beside him shouted in panic.
Chen Wanzhen's heart was shocked, and she thought to herself:
This barrier is so tricky. Could it be that Chen Wan'er has already advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage and possessed such powerful means?
Although she is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, facing this sudden and powerful barrier, the more she tries to break it, the more powerless she feels.
She knew in her heart that with her current level of cultivation, it would be no easy task to break the barrier.
When everyone in the barrier realized that they couldn't escape this predicament no matter what, a haze of despair instantly enveloped their hearts.
Several monks secretly complained and vented all their resentment on Chen Wanzhen.
I kept complaining in my heart: It’s all the fault of this saint’s rash behavior.
Without any planning or preparation, he came to arrest Chen Wan'er on impulse.
Now, not only did they not even see Chen Wan'er, but they were also imprisoned with no way to escape.
"Everyone in the barrier, listen up! If you still want to survive, throw out your storage bag!"
A cold and somewhat teasing voice suddenly broke the silence.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, their faces full of shock and absurdity.
In the past, they followed the Holy Maiden of Liuli Sect to travel outside.
Relying on the reputation of the sect, he often robbed others under the guise of justice and enjoyed the pleasure of plundering.
Who could have predicted that things would change so quickly?
Today, it is my turn to become a lamb to be slaughtered, and I am trapped in this barrier and blackmailed at will.
Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
They subconsciously turned their eyes to Chen Wanzhen. After all, she was a saint at the moment, and everyone wanted to see how she planned to deal with this difficult situation.
Seeing that there was no movement inside the barrier, in the blink of an eye, the barrier began to change strangely as if it had life.
In a moment, the people inside were ruthlessly divided into small, closed compartments.
They are completely isolated from each other and can only sense each other's presence through sound.
"I'll count to three. If no one takes action, don't blame me for being rude!"
That cold voice sounded again, like the countdown of death, revealing an unquestionable deterrent.
"one……"
"two……"
"three!"
As soon as the three words fell, a shrill scream pierced the sky.
Then there was a loud "bang", like a thunder explosion, which hurt everyone's eardrums.
Could this noise mean that someone's body was instantly blown to ashes?
Everyone was so frightened that their scalps went numb and they felt a chill in their hearts. This robber was too cruel and ruthless!
At this moment, a trembling voice with a crying tone asked:
"You...how can you guarantee that you will let us go if we hand over the storage bag?"
His words were filled with fear and unwillingness, yet also revealed a desire to survive.
Chen Wan'er, who was outside the barrier, couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.
