The man seemed pleased and let go of Liu Xu's neck. "You better not lie to me."
"I wouldn't dare …" Liu Xu whispered.
The man lifted her chin and kissed her without the slightest hint of gentleness.
By the time the man let go of Liu Xu, her face was flushed red and she looked at the man with seductive eyes.
"After you help me do this, I'll marry you." The man ignored Liu Xu's hint and handed her a porcelain bottle. "Be good. Don't ever do anything that makes me unhappy."
Liu Xu took the bottle. "Yes."
The man quickly left. Liu Xu held the bottle for a moment before leaving as well.
Shi Sheng remembered that Liu Xu had also poisoned Fu Yiyun in the original plot. This scene was the climax of the novel.
That poison was especially potent and had no antidote.
Fu Yiyun survived because the female lead and Fu Yiyun exchanged blood.
However, the female lead had become an ugly woman because of this.
In ancient times, blood exchange didn't take blood type into consideration. She was more curious about how the exchange took place.
Shi Sheng discovered that Fu Yiyun was also there. Liu Xu pretended that nothing had happened and returned to Fu Yiyun's side. The two of them were in a very intimate position.
Since they were too far away, he couldn't hear what they were saying.
The leaders stood at the very front and spoke very softly. Even with internal energy, he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Shi Sheng circled around a few times before returning the way he came.
The Demon Sect members had hunted a rabbit from somewhere and were roasting it.
These people really weren't nervous at all!
They were facing away from the other side, so they couldn't see the situation if they didn't turn around. Shi Sheng allowed them to roast the rabbit.
"Wuwuwu …" Jiang Zhan, who was tied up like a dumpling, immediately began to struggle when he saw Shi Sheng return.
Shi Sheng walked over and untied him.
"Pah! Wu Zheng, you dare tie me up? Ow! What are you doing?! "
Jiang Zhan clutched his arm and backed away.
Shi Sheng's expression was calm. "I'll prove it to you. Not only do I dare to tie you up, I dare to strangle you too."
Jiang Zhan: "…" This lunatic!
He was so despicable when he was young, and he's still so despicable now that he's grown up.
"Sect Master, eat." Ting Feng handed the roasted meat to Shi Sheng.
Jiang Zhan exploded...... "Ting Feng, I's your Sect Master!"
Ting Feng hurriedly passed a rabbit leg to Jiang Zhan.
Shi Sheng: "…"
This idiot.
…
The people on the other side didn't move until the sky turned dark.
It was a dark and windy night. Jiang Zhan slowly opened his eyes and nudged Ting Feng and Guyu, who were sleeping beside him.
Both of them were light sleepers, so they woke up easily.
Jiang Zhan raised his index finger to his lips, indicating for them not to make a sound.
Shi Sheng leaned against a tree trunk in the distance with her head tilted to the other side. Jiang Zhan observed her for a while. After making sure that her breathing was steady and she was asleep, he slowly got up and carefully moved outside.
Ting Feng and Guyu looked at each other and followed carefully.
The three of them moved to the periphery and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Shi Sheng moved his head and turned around. His eyes were wide open as he stared in the direction where they had disappeared. After a few minutes, he closed his eyes.
The next day, the group of cult members discovered that the former cult leader and the two protectors had disappeared. Only the puppy was left. The group of people was very nervous.
Who would've thought that the current cult leader wasn't nervous at all? He even told them to pack up and return home.
"Cult Leader … we're leaving just like that?" The former cult leader and protectors were both gone! Weren't they going to look for them?
"Or are we going to throw our lives away?" Shi Sheng asked expressionlessly.
Since Jiang Zhan wanted to show off so much, then she'd let him go. It had nothing to do with her.
Although the group was somewhat unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything after Shi Sheng's violent threats. They packed up and left.
…
Jiang Zhan climbed up Mt. Di that very night. The place where the building used to be was now in ruins. He searched for a long time before finding the entrance to the underground palace.
Ting Feng and Guyu were silent after entering the palace. The faint light illuminated their solemn expressions.
The underground palace was divided into several levels. Jiang Zhan went all the way down and stopped at the last level.
"Cult Leader, did the people outside come here?" Ting Feng couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Zhan looked at the rows of memorial tablets in front of him. The tablets enshrined the cult's past cult leaders and cult members.
He walked to the front and bowed to one of the tablets.
"They're looking for treasure." Jiang Zhan's eyes were cold as he turned around. "Do you know about the treasure map that's been circulating in the previous dynasty?"
Ting Feng nodded. The previous dynasty had been destroyed for almost three hundred years, but rumors about the treasure left behind by the previous dynasty had been circulating in the jianghu.
Rumor had it that one could find the treasure as long as they found the treasure map.
However, no one had ever found the treasure map. In Ting Feng's eyes, the treasure was nothing more than a groundless dream.
But now that Jiang Zhan had suddenly asked such a question, he had some guesses.
"The treasure is down here." Jiang Zhan tapped the ground with his foot.
Ting Feng's eyes widened. There really was?
Guyu was expressionless. He probably wasn't interested in these worldly things.
"The first cult leader of the Demon Cult was hunted down because of these things." Jiang Zhan's voice echoed in the underground palace. He slowly narrated a story that neither Ting Feng nor Guyu had heard before.
Back then, the first cult leader was determined to be a hero. He accidentally came across a treasure map and successfully found the treasure.
He wanted to use these treasures to help those poor people, but it was this move that brought him a fatal disaster.
In the end, he hid in Mount Di and established the Demon Cult.
After that, the secret of the treasure was passed down orally by the cult leader. Jiang Zhan only learned about it right before his father's death.
"I want to destroy this place." Jiang Zhan concluded.
"Ah?" Ting Feng hadn't finished digesting the information when he heard Jiang Zhan's words. He looked at him in astonishment.
Why destroy it?
"How?" Guyu's question was much simpler.
"There's a chance we won't be able to leave." Jiang Zhan's tone turned serious. "You still have a chance to leave."
Although Ting Feng didn't understand why he had to destroy those things, he understood his status.
"Cult Leader, we grew up with you. Naturally, we'll listen to you."
Jiang Zhan patted their shoulders. "There's already explosives buried here. We didn't have time to detonate them back then. There's a total of three directions. You just need to ignite them at the same time. There's an underground tunnel at each location. If you run fast enough … you should be able to leave."
Guyu walked in the direction Jiang Zhan pointed. Halfway there, he suddenly turned back. "Cult Leader, did you decide to let us accept Wu Zheng long ago?"
The Demon Cult wasn't that easy to subdue. If Jiang Zhan hadn't given them the order, they wouldn't have acknowledged her even if they died.
Jiang Zhan shook his head, his gaze distant. "At first … I just wanted her to have a place to shelter her from the wind and rain."
He never thought that this matter would be exposed. He thought that the Devil Sect would be burned to ashes and this matter would be buried forever. Who knew that someone would suddenly expose it?
Sometimes, there were actually many people who knew about secrets.
"Cult Leader …" Ting Feng was stunned.
Guyu turned around and continued walking without hesitation.
