Free Web NovelChapter 2320: Chapter 2010: Could There Be Another Hidden Truth?
After Lu Chen allowed Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao to freely enter and exit the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately left the manor and headed to the Hundred Flowers Tower to pass the intelligence about Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Although she didn’t want Lu Chen to become the exclusive blood food for their Sect Hierarch, out of loyalty to Yun Yudie, she ultimately chose to report it.
And she knew deep down that such things could not be kept secret.
If one day the Sect Hierarch found out that she and her sister chose not to report Lu Chen as blood food to keep him for themselves, the Sect Hierarch would surely punish them severely.
Besides, Lu Chen, that sly dog, was also eyeing their Sect Hierarch’s body, wasn’t he? Even if she didn’t say anything, Lu Chen would likely spread the news himself.
Eventually, the Sect Hierarch would find out anyway, so it was just as well to go ahead and report it.
A few days later, at the headquarters of the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Yun Yudie looked sullen as she watched the sect disciple reporting intelligence in the main hall.
She never expected that those few Deceit Kings would launch a war against the cities of Dazhou behind her back.
And judging by their demeanor, they’re likely not content with just massacring a single city; next, they’ll massacre more cities, consume the blood food, and restore their strength.
If she allowed them to continue like this, her plan to breed blood food would fail.
Most importantly, once they regain their strength, the first thing they would do is seize control of the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Yun Yudie was very clear that the four Deceit Kings had always been eyeing the mysterious elements of the Heavenly Fate Sect.
She couldn’t let them continue slaughtering; she must find a way to stop them!
However, the four Deceit Kings were also immortal beings.
Although her current strength might surpass their combined power, she couldn’t kill them; at best, she could only drive them away.
By that time, they could easily find a place to hide and slowly recover their strength.
Most crucially, if the four of them dispersed and massacred one city today and another tomorrow, her plan would still fail.
She had to think of a solution.
Dazhou was her exclusive blood food farm, and she wouldn’t allow any other mysterious elements to covet it.
Thinking of this, Yun Yudie’s Jade Fist clenched slightly, and the aura from her body unintentionally spread out.
The deceitful evil released from her body seemed to even twist the space in the main hall.
At this moment, the sect disciple kneeling in the main hall quivered and asked, "Sect Hierarch, if there’s nothing else, may I take my leave?"
Yun Yudie came back to her senses, glanced indifferently at the disciple, and said icily, "You may leave."
The disciple quickly stood up and left the main hall.
Just after he left, another female disciple from the Heavenly Fate Sect rushed into the main hall.
As soon as she entered, she handed over the intelligence and knelt on the ground, saying, "Sect Hierarch, there’s a letter from the Right Protector."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie was slightly stunned, and her aura unconsciously weakened a bit.
She thought that Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou had been sealed by the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, yet she didn’t expect intelligence would still come back at this moment.
However, she was already on guard in her heart; the letter’s timing might mean that Zhou Xiaoxiao had betrayed the Heavenly Fate Sect, or perhaps the Zhen Nan Prince Manor had used Zhou Xiaoxiao to send false information to lure her to the Capital city.
Yun Yudie didn’t think too much about it. With a wave of her hand, the intelligence in the female disciple’s hand was pulled by a cloud of deceitful evil and flew into her hand.
Yun Yudie then tore open the letter and, upon seeing its contents, was slightly taken aback.
As she had thought, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou had already betrayed her.
How could a human like Lu Chen possibly have infinite vitality? He even wasn’t affected by deceitful evil.
If they were going to make up a lie, they should at least make it somewhat believable. Who would believe such an absurd lie? Did they think she was a fool?
However, if Zhou Xiaoxiao were indeed deceiving her, she shouldn’t have concocted such an absurd lie.
She was, after all, a high-level deceit, having lived for who knows how many years. How could she believe such a statement?
Could there be another hidden truth? Was Zhou Xiaoxiao intentionally passing on such an incredible lie to remind her that she and her sister were controlled by the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, forced to pass on false information, and fabricated an outrageous lie to prevent her from falling for it? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
If that’s the case, the sisters hadn’t completely betrayed the Heavenly Fate Sect. Perhaps some compelling reasons forced them to pass on false intelligence for the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Yudie fell into contemplation.
If this were true, it proved that the Zhen Nan Prince Manor possessed something capable of threatening them.
The two sisters were Profound Realm mysterious beings, also immortal existences.
In principle, even if the Zhen Nan Prince Manor intended to seal them, the sisters shouldn’t care. They should be aware that even if they were sealed, she would eventually rescue them one day.
For mysterious beings, being sealed isn’t much of a threat.
It means there’s something at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor capable of threatening their lives.
Only then could the two sisters be forcibly betrayed under duress.
Considering this possibility, Yun Yudie’s expression became a bit graver.
If something that could threaten the lives of mysterious beings indeed existed, she must proceed cautiously.
But she’d never heard of anything that could threaten a mysterious being’s life.
If Dazhou truly possessed something that could threaten the lives of mysterious beings, they would’ve been eradicated during the last mysterious chaos, and Dazhou wouldn’t have let them escape from the Demon Suppression Tower.
After much contemplation, Yun Yudie had no clue.
Ultimately, she summoned someone to pass the message to Xu Jingshu, who was heading to the Capital city, asking her to investigate.
Anyway, Xu Jingshu was about to reach the Capital city, and as for what was happening at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she would soon find out.
Days quickly passed by again.
Capital city, a certain courtyard.
The setting sun slanted over the walls, covering the entire courtyard in a soft golden hue.
In the courtyard paved with bluestones, chrysanthemums in the western corner bloomed brightly. They crowded in whites and yellows, turned soft and delicate by the setting sun.
At this moment, a woman in a red dress stood by the flower terrace, gazing at the chrysanthemums in the corner.
The evening glow fell on her face, rendering her pale skin soft and warm.
At this time, a servant in rough clothes entered the courtyard.
The servant handed a piece of intelligence to Xu Jingshu, saying respectfully, "Saintess, there’s a letter from the Sect Hierarch."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingshu raised her hand, and the letter flew from the servant’s hand to hers.
She opened the letter, glanced at it, and showed a trace of surprise.
Yun Yudie had included Zhou Xiaoxiao’s letter in it.
Upon seeing the letter written by Zhou Xiaoxiao, Xu Jingshu felt incredulous. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
A Profound Realm mysterious being would actually betray their Sect Hierarch.
On her way to the Capital city, she didn’t believe Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao would betray the Heavenly Fate Sect, but from the looks of this letter, the sisters likely had turned against the sect.
However, their Sect Hierarch’s mention in the letter that Zhou Xiaoxiao concocted such an absurd excuse suggested the sisters were likely under threat, signaling them that the Zhen Nan Prince Manor was dangerous.
