Chapter 109 - 35.6 - (1/2)

Meanwhile, far away from where Li Xinwen lives, a group of people could be seen entering a huge cave. They continued to walk through the cave path. The deeper they go, the colder the cave get. Not only that, they could hear the pained howl from within getting louder and louder.

When they reached the heart of the cave, they saw Chen Jingguo worried expression as the other stared into one of the smaller cave openings.

”Master Chen, how was the lord?” one of the cultivators asked.

”He's still in pain. How about those cultivators from Min Shaotian's side?” Chen Jingguo asked back.

”They still haven't figured out where we're hiding. But they are getting closer. We need to move soon.”

”I will bring this matter up to the lord,” Chen Jingguo replied before he entered the smaller cave.

Inside the smaller cave is where An Wuya resides. The items within were a mess, some laid broken on the ground. Chen Jingguo knew that ever since An Wuya confronted Li Xinwen, the other's mood has been chaotic. He regretted telling An Wuya about Li Xinwen's existence. If he had kept his mouth shut, this wouldn't have happened.

”My lord... we have to leave to our new hideout soon,” Chen Jingguo said. ”According to the people I sent out, Min Shaotian's group will find out about this place sooner or later. With you injured-”

”If you have time to worry about such things, how about you start figuring out how to undo this seal placed on me?!” An Wuya roared out at Chen Jingguo. ”Who was that little cultivator you told me about? Why is his soul at the peak of Kongming stage?!”

”I don't know! I was sure that he is only at Houtian!”

An Wuya just clicked his tongue, and he looked at Chen Jingguo. ”How long until you can figure out how to undo the seal?”

”Actually, I have already figured it out. It's just that... My lord, your soul was severely damaged. Unless you can heal your soul...” Chen Jingguo, though he is not that talented as a cultivator, his brain can be considered a top-notch. After all, he was once someone who is the top scorer of the provincial exam. Figuring out arrays and formations was not a problem for him.

An Wuya narrowed his eyes, then he looked over at the entrance to his small cave. ”Those cultivators we gathered, are they still outside?” An Wuya asked.

”Yes.”

”Go out and tell them to come here. You wait outside,” An Wuya ordered Chen Jingguo.

Chen Jingguo did as he was told, and left the room. He told the group of cultivators to go inside as per ordered by An Wuya and waited patiently outside. It hasn't even been ten seconds when he heard a series of screams from within. It didn't take long for the scream to subside though. Chen Jingguo continued to wait until An Wuya came out.

”The rest?” Chen Jingguo asked, though by looking at An Wuya's complexion and the scream from earlier, he could already guess what happened. If he said he wasn't afraid, then he's lying. The coldness within An Wuya's eyes was worse than what he'd seen in Li Xinwen's eyes. At least, with Li Xinwen, he was still seen as a man while with An Wuya, he felt that he was seen as an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

”The rest? They have served their purpose. So to reward them, I let them 'rest'.”

”Rest?”

”Jingguo, ah... don't ask too much question unless you want to anger me. Come and help me remove the seal,” An Wuya gestured for Chen Jingguo to come closer. An Wuya's voice contains his usual charming effect and Chen Jingguo found himself walking towards him. Chen Jingguo pressed his hand over to An Wuya's chest and closed his eyes. He poured his spiritual energy in, inspecting An Wuya's condition. After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head.

”Is it not enough?” An Wuya asked. The voice was low while his face scrunched up showing his irritation.
