Chapter 25 Someone dared to scheme against her
Wu Zhao found it utterly absurd.
No one has the same power as her.
Because there is only one divine shaman in this world, and that is her, Wu Zhao.
She guarded the gates of the underworld for three thousand years before being resurrected. How could it be her?
“I… I’m not entirely sure either, but your auras are really very similar,” He Hua emphasized. “I swear I’m not lying, when we saw you before, we all thought it was Mr. Ning!”
"However, we later discovered that you and that Mr. Ning are different."
Wu Zhao remained silent.
She always felt like she had forgotten something very important.
Could it be that his memory has deteriorated because he guarded the gate to the underworld for too long?
"Maybe it's just my perception," Wu Xingyun said casually. "Sometimes I even feel like you're a member of the Wu family. Maybe it's because I find your face very familiar."
Wu Zhao: "..."
Is this silly child something the Wu family picked up from outside?
As for that Mr. Ning… Wu Zhao’s eyes darkened.
She had a feeling that she might have some kind of connection with this person.
This feeling made her inexplicably wary.
"Lin Lele, the girl who ran away in the underpass, have you met her father?" Wu Zhao suddenly asked.
He Hua nodded bitterly: "Of course I've seen him. All the undercover agents he caught are just like that man."
"He's incredibly tough; even if you break him, he'll never utter a word."
Recalling the spirit he had only met once, Wu Zhao said, "Indeed, he was a hero."
Wu Xingyun thought of the police and military personnel he had met with his older sister and couldn't help but say, "They are the elite of the elite, the best soldiers."
"That person... after arriving on the island, he collected some evidence, and he wasn't discovered at first. But later, Mr. Ning saw him by chance when he was questioning about that finger bone..."
He Hua recalled.
“When he was arrested, his name was Ye Xin. After he was arrested, Hei Xiaoshuai’s men couldn’t find anything on him. They interrogated him for a long time, but in the end they still couldn’t get his real name out of him.”
"We don't know where those pieces of evidence are hidden. Hei Xiaoshuai... said he'd feed them to the sharks. Even if they're hidden somewhere on his person, the sharks will still eat them."
He discovered the undercover agent's identity with just one glance?
Is this Mr. Ning also a highly skilled esoteric practitioner?
Wu Zhao slowly turned the ring on his finger, remaining silent.
Gu Chen noticed her suspicion and asked, "Has this Mr. Ning you mentioned ever been to the island?"
“No.” He Hua shook her head. “Although everyone on the island who knows this Mr. Ning calls him Mr. Ning, I’m not sure whether he is a man or a woman.”
"All of Hei Xiaoshuai's actions were guided by this Mr. Ning."
Mr. Ning is the key figure behind this island.
"So... how are these undercover agents' spirits dealt with?" Wu Zhao suddenly asked.
The three spirits froze upon hearing her question.
One of the spirits opened its mouth, but before it could utter a sound, the entire spirit suddenly began to swell.
"A spirit-suppressing spell!" Wu Zhao exclaimed in surprise. She hissed, "Get out of the way!"
She first stuffed the two bewildered spirits into the ring, then kicked Wu Xingyun away.
“—Zhao Zhao!” Gu Chen grabbed her hand tightly as she reached out to push the wheelchair away.
Purple energy surged in instantly.
Wu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Seale it for me!"
She bit her fingertip until it bled, then pressed it directly onto the little paper figure that floated out.
The blood-stained paper figure was quickly pasted onto the forehead of the vengeful spirit that was about to explode.
With a soft "poof," the spirit shattered on the spot.
A blinding flash of blood erupted instantly.
"Close your eyes!" Wu Zhao turned around and covered Gu Chen's eyes, accidentally smearing the blood from his finger onto Gu Chen's face.
It took quite a while for the bloody light to completely disappear.
Wu Xingyun got up from the ground and spat twice: "My great ancestor, the spirit-suppressing technique is too sudden."
"Are you alright?" Wu Zhao asked, putting his hand down.
Seeing the blood on his face, she wiped it with the back of her hand: "Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush just now."
The gemstone on the ring gently brushed against Gu Chen's face. Gu Chen turned his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for what you just said."
Wu Zhao looked at the spot where the Yin Spirit had just been, his expression somewhat grave.
"This technique is so vicious; after the Yin spirit shattered, nothing was left behind." Wu Xingyun walked over and touched the ground, his fingers bearing faint traces of ash.
Wu Zhao said, "They were cursed without their knowledge, and the curse was used to destroy the evidence."
These evil spirits were indeed discovered very early on, but they were not dealt with.
Mr. Ning cast a spirit-sealing spell on these three spirits, which would cause them to self-destruct if any key information was mentioned.
They were kept alive for two reasons: first, to threaten Count Black Night; and second, in case a sorcerer discovered the evil spirits around Count Black Night and used them to destroy the evidence.
More importantly... it was Mr. Ning's warning to Earl of the Night!
It seems that Earl of the Night's desire to monopolize the island is growing stronger, and Mr. Ning discovered this and used the evil spirits to subdue him.
No wonder Count Night sought the help of the sorcerer.
That makes sense now.
The person who bought the jade that day was a sorcerer, but Mr. Ning probably had something happen between him and the sorcerer, which caused the sorcerer to leave in anger.
The corpse driver was Mr. Ning's man, while the sorcerer was hired by Earl of the Night to deal with the three evil spirits.
Wu Zhao and his group landed on the island because of the jade, which led them to confront the sorcerer.
Mr. Ning is quite the schemer!
They actually used her as a raft and easily dealt with the disloyal Earl of the Night!
Having figured this out, Wu Zhao slowly clenched his fist.
This Mr. Ning, whom she had never met, had figured her out very well.
What a familiar feeling, what a ruthless opponent...
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked, noticing her tense expression.
Wu Zhao suddenly raised his head and asked, "Qing Yao...why didn't you come?"
Gu Chen was taken aback: "What?"
“Right, why hasn’t Qingyao come yet?” Wu Xingyun also noticed something was wrong.
Oh no! Wu Zhao thought to himself, "This is bad!"
He rushed out at lightning speed: "Azure! Crimson!"
She ran upstairs calling out, "Lin Lele!"
The open room on the second floor was empty, and the curtains fluttering in the wind by the open window seemed to mock her.
"What happened? Where did Qingyao, Hongyao, and Lin Lele go?"
Wu Xingyun, who followed, was completely bewildered. "He...he vanished into thin air?!"
Wu Zhao closed his eyes briefly, a cold smile curving his lips.
A chilling aura emanated from her.
"Very well, you have successfully angered me."
"No matter who you are, I will find you and make you pay!"
"Boom——"
A clap of thunder echoed through the clear sky.
