Chapter 233 Return! (Ch 233)

Wang Shaochen’s eyes swept across the spotless table, stopped at the neatly folded bedding, and then moved to the vibrant potted plants on the windowsill.

Everything seemed so neat and orderly, as if the owner was only away temporarily and would be back at any time.

However, it was this excessive neatness that aroused Wang Shaochen’s vigilance.

How could it be possible that the residence of a person who had been “missing” for half a month still retained such vivid signs of use?

The faint fragrance in the air is something that cannot be found in a room that has been uninhabited for half a month.

My fingertips gently brushed across the edge of the desk, which was smooth and delicate, without a trace of dust.

His eyes scanned the room again, finally landing on the dressing table.

There were some women’s items and several exquisite pieces of jewelry, which glowed softly in the sunlight.

These items are obviously not just for display, but are often used.

Wang Shaochen stopped in the middle of the room, slowly turned around, and looked deeply at Mu Yuening and Mu Qianshan, father and daughter.

There was an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes.

“Are you sure…” His voice was low and slow, but it was clearly heard by everyone present, “Haven’t seen Ling Wei for a long time?”

Mu Yuening’s heart skipped a beat when Wang Shaochen asked her this question suddenly.

He still pretended to be calm on the surface and spoke in a firm tone.

“Yes, Elder Wang, Yue Ning would never dare to lie. It has been at least half a month since we said goodbye in the hall last time and I haven’t seen my junior sister again.”

At this point, she also deliberately added, “Junior sister’s whereabouts are always uncertain, and it is common for her to practice in seclusion. We dare not disturb her easily.”

Wang Shaochen nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions, but the doubt in his eyes did not disappear.

There were already turbulent waves in my heart, and an ominous premonition loomed in my heart.

There was an obvious huge contradiction between the scene in the house and Mu Yuening’s words.

Thinking of Mo Yingchen’s firm question in front of the mountain gate, a terrible guess gradually formed in his mind.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes passed through the noisy crowd, and met Zhang Daoyi outside the courtyard.

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other without any words.

When Zhang Daoyi saw Wang Shaochen’s gloomy face and the uneasiness vaguely revealed in his eyes, his heart sank suddenly.

He looked at Mo Yingchen who was standing beside him with a stern expression, and then thought of the dark mass of undead troops outside the mountain gate that seemed ready to pour in at any time.

And the two skeletons that had impressed him earlier.

An unprecedented sense of crisis came over me.

Finally, he nodded slightly to Wang Shaochen. This subtle action already indicated his final decision.

Zhang Daoyi recalled the two skeletons outside the door, especially the bloody one, and felt heavy in his heart.

The oppressive feeling brought by the bloody skeleton made even this seventh-level strong man feel a chill.

If a real fight breaks out and the undead army rushes into the holy land, there will be rivers of blood.

Even if they could win in the end, the Holy Land of the Universe would probably suffer heavy losses, or even have its foundations shaken.

The holy land’s thousand-year foundation must not be destroyed in his hands.

“Let’s follow the rules.” Zhang Daoyi sighed in his heart, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He is a powerful seventh-level warrior and the master of the Holy Land of the Universe.

It is really embarrassing to be forced into such a situation by a young man in his early twenties.

But right now, preserving the holy land is the top priority.

Wang Shaochen understood the sect leader’s look and felt a little relieved.

Turning to the crowd, he raised his voice, “Everyone, I have studied the laws of heaven and earth for many years, and today I just happened to comprehend a secret method.”

He paused, looked around, his eyes fell on the disciples who had puzzled expressions, and continued to explain.

“This secret method can use spiritual power to stimulate the spatial patterns, reverse time, and recreate the past scenes of this place.”

“In other words,” Wang Shaochen emphasized, “I can let everyone see with their own eyes what happened in this room!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Mu Yuening’s face turned pale in an instant, as white as paper. She looked at Mu Qianshan in panic, her eyes full of fear.

When Mu Qianshan saw his daughter’s distraught look, his heart sank and he understood what was going on.

She was afraid that the soul-devouring thing really was going on in this room.

However, at this point, denial is impossible.

Stop Wang Shaochen? That would undoubtedly be an admission of guilt.

Mu Qianshan gritted his teeth secretly and shook his head at Mu Yuening imperceptibly.

At the same time, she glanced in a certain direction and moved her fingers slightly, suggesting that she should wait for an opportunity to act.

I’m afraid it won’t be easy today. Rather than surrender, I’d better fight to the death.

If we rush out, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

If they stay here, what awaits them will surely be the thundering wrath of the holy land.

Almost all the onlookers’ attention was on Wang Shaochen.

No one noticed the little actions of Mu Yuening and Mu Qianshan.

Only Mo Yingchen, who had always been wary of the father and daughter, saw their actions clearly.

“Sect Master Zhang, the truth is about to be revealed, but it seems to me that Palace Master Mu and Miss Mu are planning to escape?

“Mo Yingchen said to Zhang Daoyi with a playful smile on his face.

Zhang Daoyi was slightly startled, then he noticed that Mu Qianshan and Mu Yuening had quietly retreated to the corner of the house at some point.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

“Don’t worry, little brother. No one can leave here until the truth is revealed!” Zhang Daoyi said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, the domain expanded instantly, and an invisible force enveloped the space.

Inside the house, Wang Shaochen’s secret technique had already begun to work.

Everyone held their breath and watched the light and shadow gradually appear on the wall.

The first to appear was Mu Yuening.

She pushed open the door casually, as if she was entering her own backyard.

He said a few words to the outside of the door, but no one could hear what he said.

In less than ten minutes, a disciple dressed in the uniform of the Lingxiao Palace walked in with ten people who were tied up tightly with thick ropes.

“Isn’t that Xu Bin from Lingxiao Palace?” Someone in the crowd recognized the disciple of Lingxiao Palace who appeared in the light and shadow of the secret technique.

He immediately looked around, trying to find Xu Bin and confirm whether it was him.

However, there was no sign of Xu Bin among the crowd.

“It’s really strange. Today’s commotion is obviously aimed at Lingxiao Palace.” Someone whispered.

“Xu Bin is a disciple of Lingxiao Palace, but he is not here?”

Before anyone had time to think about it, the scene in the secret light and shadow changed again, shocking everyone present.

Mu Yuening was seen in the light and shadow, with a crazy expression.

He screamed and roared at the ten people in the room, his face distorted.

The ten people seemed to have heard some extremely terrifying words and began to scream miserably.

Their faces were filled with uncontrollable fear, as if they had seen the most terrifying scene in the world.

Then, a horrifying scene happened.

The ten men fell to the ground one after another, and wisps of illusory shadows slowly floated out of their bodies, like green smoke, drifting in and out.

Those phantoms actually floated straight towards Mu Yuening, and finally gathered together and were swallowed up by her mouth.

Mu Yuening, in the light and shadow, had a strange and satisfied smile on her face.

It was as if he had tasted the most delicious delicacy in the world, with an expression of enjoyment that made one shudder.

Looking back to this point, the mystical light and shadow suddenly disappeared, and the wall returned to its original color.
