Chapter 148 Seeing Xie Feng Again
After the Blood Demon Sect members, following Chen Wan'er's instructions, orderly withdrew from the perilous courtyard.
In the underground chamber, the Third Elder, who had been imprisoned for a long time, finally broke through the puppet talisman that had been suffocating him to the extreme at the critical moment.
Looking at the mess in front of him, he recalled how he was almost able to succeed, but it was all so ruthlessly ruined by everyone.
The Third Elder's eyes were instantly filled with rage, especially the mysterious person who had been hiding in the shadows and repeatedly ruining his plans, which made him grit his teeth in hatred.
"Since you dare to burn my body, then we'll all die together!"
The Third Elder's voice, filled with resentment and determination, boomed like a thunderclap in the dark room.
Before he could finish speaking, giving everyone no time to react, he made a decisive choice and opted for the most horrific method—self-destruction.
Although his physical body had been reduced to ashes in the raging fire, his divine soul, which he had cultivated for many years, remained incredibly powerful, containing unimaginable energy.
This sudden self-destruction caught everyone in the Thousand Illusions Sect completely off guard.
They had always foolishly believed that the one controlling the Fourth Elder's body was merely a remnant soul of the Third Elder, and that the Fourth Elder himself was still alive. How could they have foreseen such a dramatic turn of events?
In an instant, the underground chamber was completely engulfed by violent energy. The powerful explosion was like a raging tsunami, and everything in its path was ruthlessly destroyed.
Before the Thousand Illusions Sect Master, the Grand Elder, and the rest of the group could even utter a cry of alarm, they were instantly reduced to ashes by this terrifying impact.
Only the Blood Demon Sect members and Chen Wan'er, who evacuated in time, managed to escape the calamity thanks to their initiative and decisiveness.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Chen Wan'er's mind raced.
She knew this was a golden opportunity, and decisively said to Li Wen:
"Quickly, seize this opportunity and hurry to recruit the Thousand Illusions Sect!"
"At this moment, they are leaderless and in great disarray. If they arrive too late, other sects may get there first."
After greeting Li Wen, Chen Wan'er turned and left contentedly with her "spoils of war".
Meanwhile, Gao Huohuo was standing quietly at the entrance of the Shadow Moon Sect, having already learned about the matters concerning the Thousand Illusions Sect.
So he quickly contacted Wang Lei using his supernatural powers and arranged for Chen Wan'er to go and assist him.
Just as Gao Huohuo was about to give Wang Lei a few more words of advice, a voice suddenly came, interrupting his thoughts.
"Junior Sister, you're finally back!"
Gao Huohuo looked up at the sound and saw that his senior brother, Chu Lingchuan, was about to go out.
"Senior Brother, are we heading out?"
Chu Lingchuan nodded slightly and replied:
"Yes, Boss Xie asked me for supernatural powers before. Now that my fourth junior brother has just refined a batch, I will send it to him right away."
Upon hearing that they were going to see Boss Xie, Gao Huohuo had a change of heart and decided to go along, hoping to find out about Tang Xuan's whereabouts.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Boss Xie, Senior Brother. Let me go with you!"
Since everyone is focused on cultivation right now, he might as well go and finish his business with his junior sister first, and then give everyone a surprise when he returns.
After saying that, the two of them flew towards the Wanbaolou shop on their swords.
"Senior Brother, you have now reached the eighth level of the Golden Core stage. You must have worked very hard this past year."
Hearing his junior sister's praise, Chu Lingchuan was overjoyed.
At first, when Chu Lingchuan saw that his junior sister had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, he felt a little ashamed.
After all, as the senior brother, his cultivation level was still inferior to that of his junior sister.
But at this moment, his junior sister's affirmation of his efforts made Chu Lingchuan feel even more motivated to cultivate.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, it's been a long time! Fellow Daoist Chu, please come in!"
When Xie Feng's voice came, Chu Lingchuan finally came to his senses.
Gao Huohuo's gaze inadvertently swept over Xie Feng's clothes, and she knew that he must have had a pretty smooth year.
"Boss Xie, judging from your appearance, you've been promoted again! Congratulations!"
Xie Feng quickly cupped his hands in a polite gesture and said, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Young Friend Gao's good fortune! Seventh Young Master also asked me to convey his greetings to you."
Gao Huohuo smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Seventh Young Master. I am perfectly fine."
After the two finished exchanging pleasantries, Chu Lingchuan handed over a storage bag.
"Boss Xie, this is a new batch refined by my fourth junior brother."
How did the sales of those supernatural powers go?
Gao Huohuo thought to himself, "So, supernatural powers are already being sold."
She also wondered why, despite giving away so many, the products hadn't sold well.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please rest assured. After that divine power was used by Zhong Hanshang of the Qingyun Sect, it quickly became popular in the Cangyun Realm."
"Haha, it seems that Zhong Hanshang's celebrity effect is really powerful. In that case, all my previous efforts were not in vain."
Gao Huohuo was secretly delighted, but at the same time he thought to himself, "I can't give away this supernatural power for free so easily anymore."
At this moment, Xie Feng took the storage bag handed to him by Chu Lingchuan, and then handed him a new storage bag.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, these are the spirit stones obtained from the sale of the supernatural abilities last time, along with some pills and spiritual artifacts. Please take a look."
Chu Lingchuan laughed heartily and said, "We've cooperated with Boss Xie so many times, so naturally we trust you."
After saying that, he put the storage bag into his storage ring.
Seeing that the important business had been finished, Gao Huohuo took the opportunity to inquire about Tang Xuan's family situation from Xie Feng.
"Boss Xie, I'd like to ask you about someone. Do you know Tang Xuan?"
"Are you talking about Tang Xuan, the illegitimate son of Wang Anyuan, the city lord of Anyuan City?"
Gao Huohuo nodded, wondering to himself, "Is Tang Xuan really that famous?"
"All I know is that his mother is a fox spirit, a demon clan, and is favored by the city lord. Tang Xuan has also received special care from the city lord because of this."
"Oh? How many children does the City Lord of Anyuan City have? Won't his other children be jealous of Tang Xuan?"
Gao Huohuo asked curiously.
Xie Feng shook his head and said with a sigh:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, you are unaware of this."
Although the city lord doted on the fox clan woman, he made it clear that he would not pass the position of city lord to Tang Xuan, after all, those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions.
So his other children aren't worried.
"But recently, the Third Young Master was killed by someone unknown, and I heard the City Lord was furious about it."
Gao Huohuo feigned ignorance of the matter, but asked with curiosity in his eyes:
"Is this Third Young Master highly regarded by the City Lord?"
Xie Feng nodded slightly and replied:
"That's natural. The Third Young Master's mother is a female disciple of the Glazed Tile School, which is why he is considered the most promising candidate to inherit the position of City Lord."
Currently, both the city lord and the Glazed Tile Sect are doing their utmost to track down a female cultivator named Chen Wan'er. It's rumored that before his death, the Third Young Master dispatched his subordinates to search for her everywhere.
"No wonder there are so many people on the bounty list lately; it must all be because of this Third Young Master."
Gao Huohuo thought to himself:
"We must find a way to get Chen Wan'er to figure out that formation as soon as possible. With so many 'heroes,' we can't let this great opportunity go to waste."
