420 Breaking Off Relations (1/2)

”Interesting…” Noticing that this former assistant of his had transformed into an entirely different person, and was speaking so calmly and confidently to him, Chen Mu gradually narrowed his eyes.

As the eldest son of the Chen family, he was well acquainted with knowledge related to cultivation from a young age. That was something that the four Dao Colleges was unable to teach. After all, the four Dao Colleges had so many people to nurture, but the Chen family of the Five Generation Sky Clan only had to focus their attention on nurturing their own child.

At the same time, there were suspicions that the Five Generation Sky Clan had once passed the ancient greenish-bronze sword and brought back a mysterious cultivation technique. No one, even Chen Mu, knew whether there was any truth to that. However, he was clear that the knowledge about cultivation that his family had surpassed that of other factions greatly.

For example, he knew that there was the saying of transferring one's soul to another physical body. Even though one had to be a Nascent Soul in order to achieve that, he also knew that there were numerous other methods of controlling puppets, as well as related skills that could allow one to control others' minds. He couldn't do any of that, but he knew that the people who could were elites.

Therefore, he didn't act carelessly in front of the subordinate that had suddenly appeared before him. He was vigilant, but he wasn't afraid. He was assured of his safety due to the fact that he had the protection of the Dao guardians around him, as well as that afforded by his Patriarch. It was possible for him to hold off an elite for a brief moment while help came.

At the same time, Chen Mu was genuinely curious about the master that this former assistant of his had mentioned. He didn't like Wang Baole one bit and was filled with hatred towards him. Therefore, naturally, he wouldn't apprehend a criminal for him. Chen Mu looked deeply at the subordinate before him and sat there without a word.

There was no need to elaborate further on this silent agreement. The intention had been made known clearly, and the middle-aged cultivator smiled in response.

”Fellow Daoist Chen, my master only has one target, which is Wang Baole. However, due to certain peculiar circumstances, he is unable to handle the matter personally, and will need your help.

”When the task is completed, my master promises to convey his gratitude with a puppet at perfected Core Formation realm!”

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and laughed chillingly in his heart. He felt that the middle-aged cultivator's words were a little abrupt and unconvincing. Furthermore, he didn't even try to hide his intention of using him as a murderer. Even though Chen Mu wanted very much to kill Wang Baole himself, he wasn't a foolish person and could easily guess that he was being used.

This wiped out the interest that he had initially. He wanted to see the guest off, but at that moment, the middle-aged cultivator who stood before him laughed and made a move by himself. However, just before he left, he placed a small drum before Chen Mu!

The small drum was blood-colored. The moment it was taken out, a concentrated bloody aura was immediately given off. An indescribable level of evilness also spread from within. At the same time, an astonishing suppressive force emerged. The suppressive force was on the same level as that given off by someone who had perfected Core Formation realm, and that shocked Chen Mu severely.

”This item is the seed of the puppet. Dao Cultivator Chen, it is meant to aid you in your consideration. If you agree, you can sound the seed. In due time, my master will reveal to you the method of nurturing this seed.” As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, he took a few steps back before turning to leave. As he went away, his body began burning without a sound. When he finally stepped out of the shed, his body had turned to ash, which was scattered into space.

Looking at the sinister-looking drum, and then at the body that was burning in flames, Chen Mu instantly grew solemn. He knew that he had no choice but to treat this matter very seriously.

However, he didn't touch the drum. Instead, after thinking deeply about what to do, he summoned someone over to bring the item back to his family clan, in order for them to study it and decide what to do with it.

At the same time, Wang Baole, who had left Wen Huai's zone after his inspection, satisfyingly returned to his residence with the intention to continue cultivating and researching Dharmic Armaments.

In the middle of that very night, with darkness shrouding the area and silence in the air, Wang Baole's voice transmission ring and the door of his residence sounded out simultaneously. It was Li Wan'er again…Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Wang Baole was well prepared for this. After all, the Dark Qi inside Li Wan'er's body wasn't something that could be completely removed after one or two tries. He opened his eyes and took a look at his voice transmission ring before opening the door to his residence, where he saw Li Wan'er standing outside.

Li Wan'er didn't say a word and stepped right in expressionlessly. She didn't even need Wang Baole to lead the way and headed towards the secret chamber directly.

Wang Baole blinked. After closing the door, he felt that the entire situation was a little unusual. That was especially so when he thought about Li Wan'er's provocative figure, which made his heart pump even faster uncontrollably. He cleared his throat and entered the secret chamber, beginning the healing process…
