Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Wang Surname Pill Master, Death
“This morning, I went looking for Lin Jing…”
“We had already agreed to come over together…”
“But just as we were about to leave, Steward Cheng from Yuebaolou came…”
“Steward Cheng…”
Liu Yiyuan frowned as he spoke.
“Yes, Steward Cheng…” the Pill Master surnamed Wang said.
“Steward Cheng found Lin Jing; it seemed like Steward Zheng, for some unknown reason, wanted to arrange for Lin Jing to do something.”
“With Steward Cheng present, I didn’t dare to say much at the time…”
At this moment, Liu Yiyuan’s father suddenly spoke up:
“That’s not right…”
“Steward Zheng should be exploring the Demon Race Secret Realm with the other Real Ones at this time; how could he arrange tasks for him?”
“Could it be that Steward Cheng has discovered our plan?”
“Or is there some other reason…”
“Father, could it be that Steward Zheng had arranged it beforehand…” Liu Yiyuan spoke up.
“That’s unlikely…”
Liu Yiyuan’s father said, then continued to sink into contemplation.
At that moment, the Pill Master surnamed Wang interrupted:
“Real One Liu, Young Master Liu…”
“Steward Zheng came and found trouble with Lin Jing as soon as he arrived; this time, could it be the same…”
Having said that, the Pill Master surnamed Wang looked at both of them.
“That matter should have already ended; it shouldn’t be like this…” Liu Yiyuan said, frowning.
“Did you not ask Steward Cheng what he wanted with Lin Jing?” asked Liu Yiyuan, continuing to press the Pill Master surnamed Wang.
The Pill Master surnamed Wang replied:
“I’m just a minor figure, not bold enough to inquire further…”
“However, after they left, I stayed waiting at the entrance of Yuebaolou…”
“But even after a long while, Lin Jing still did not come out.”
“Worried you both might become anxious, I thought I’d come and inform Real One Liu and Young Master Liu first, to see what we should do next…”
“Thus, I came over…”
“But on the way here, I ran into that bandit cultivator by bad luck…”
“Fortunately, he was only robbing and did not harbor any intention to kill me…”
After listening to the Pill Master surnamed Wang’s words, Liu Yiyuan bowed his head in thought…
After a long while, still without any clue, Liu Yiyuan then asked his father:
“Father, what should we do next…”
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yiyuan’s father spoke up:
“It seems our plan this time has failed…”
“Never mind…”
“Let’s forget about it for now; let’s go back, and we’ll find another opportunity in the future…”
“Alright…”
Although feeling unwilling, Liu Yiyuan couldn’t do much when faced with such an unexpected turn of events.
Especially since the Cleansing Spirit Flower rootstock, which was meant to lure Lin Jing, had been snatched away as well.
This made Liu Yiyuan even more frustrated, but with his father present,
and considering that the bandit cultivator had escaped from his own hands, Liu Yiyuan was in no position to lash out and instead had to first contain his emotions.
“Let’s go…”
Having said that, Liu Yiyuan’s father rose on his flying sword.
Liu Yiyuan and the Pill Master surnamed Wang did likewise.
Although the Pill Master surnamed Wang had sustained severe injuries just before, during this time he had taken a Wound Healing Elixir and had been quietly regulating his breath.
He had regained some strength from his injuries by now and was able to fly on his sword, although perhaps a bit more slowly than usual.
Just as the three were preparing to leave,
“Boom”
suddenly a loud rumble came, followed by shaking of the ground. Then the three simultaneously felt a powerful aura emanating from the depths of the mountain range.
