Chapter 145 Elder 3 still wants to slip away unnoticed?
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er instinctively turned her gaze to the Fourth Elder.
His face was as pale as paper, and he was barely breathing, clearly indicating that his injuries were extremely serious.
However, what puzzled her was that she had previously seen the Fourth Elder's lifespan was nearing its end, almost completely depleted.
At this moment, however, it was as if shrouded in mist, and one could not see through it at all.
This is a very strange thing, and it is really puzzling. How could lifespan increase instead of decrease after being injured?
I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it with my own eyes.
Chen Wan'er was extremely anxious and hurriedly used her supernatural powers to send a message to Zhong Hanshang to inquire about the situation.
The moment my finger touched the messaging interface, I suddenly realized that I was now a clone.
Zhong Hanshang was unaware of the existence of this clone, and had no way to contact it.
Left with no other choice, they could only send Gao Huohuo, the original owner of the body, to inquire.
Fortunately, a response came shortly afterward.
After reading Zhong Hanshang's explanation, Chen Wan'er's gaze fell once again on the Fourth Elder on the ground.
Chen Wan'er narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully examining the person in front of her.
The gaze was almost tangible, as if it wanted to pierce straight through his body and see through all the secrets in his heart.
Judging from this situation, the others around are clearly unaware of the true situation hidden here. This Third Elder is truly remarkable!
Chen Wan'er wondered to herself, could he be trying to pull off that "golden cicada shedding its shell" trick in front of everyone?
If such a treacherous and cunning person is allowed to leave this place alive, I fear that many more innocent lives will be tragically lost in the future.
Moreover, where exactly did these three elders find all these evil and unorthodox methods?
After a long while, as if sensing something, the Fourth Elder's originally weak and powerless gaze slowly swept towards the direction where Chen Wan'er was hiding.
Chen Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not delay any longer, quickly averting her scrutinizing gaze.
Silently shifting its body, it hid behind the Third Elder like a nimble raccoon, disappearing into the darkness once more.
The Fourth Elder's gaze remained fixed on that direction. Even though there was nothing in front of him, he still felt as if someone had been watching him from the shadows.
He had doubts, so he secretly channeled his spiritual power, sending it like a fine rain of needles sweeping in that direction. However, after searching, he found nothing.
However, the unease in his heart continued to grow wildly like weeds. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quickly took out another magic item from his storage magic item.
He carefully scanned every nook and cranny of the dark room and, thankfully, found no one else, which put him at ease.
We're almost at the final stage, so we absolutely can't afford any mishaps at this crucial moment.
He was just waiting for the right moment to kill everyone here. Then, wouldn't the Thousand Illusions Sect have to obey his orders?
If he hadn't been accidentally exposed a few days ago, he would have planned to hide for a while longer and absorb all the extracted cultivation into himself.
Once he successfully breaks through and becomes a high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivator, who in the Thousand Illusions Sect would dare to oppose him?
Thinking of this, he glanced contemptuously at the sect leader and the first elder, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He scoffed inwardly: The identity of a dying man is really useful!
He was clearly the one most likely to arouse suspicion, yet everyone believed him without question, which was utterly absurd and incomprehensible.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside, startling the people in the underground chamber, who were filled with suspicion.
No one has set foot in this place in the past few days. What is going on with such a big commotion today?
Chen Wan'er was also filled with doubts, secretly speculating:
It's unclear whether those from outside are the Second Elder and his group, or the Blood Demon Sect members led by Li Wen.
The Fourth Elder on the ground glanced at the Third Elder standing to the side as if by chance. The Third Elder understood immediately and got up to go out and check the situation.
The sect leader looked at the First Elder and the Fourth Elder, and eagerly suggested:
"Quickly, while someone is coming, everyone hurry up and activate the talismans on your bodies to restore your spiritual power."
"The sect leader is absolutely right. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to escape and expose the Third Elder's crimes to the world."
The Fourth Elder on the ground pretended to agree, but his absent-mindedness was quite obvious.
Chen Wan'er seized the opportunity, quietly circled behind the Fourth Elder, and with lightning speed, directly affixed a immobilization talisman and a puppet talisman to his body.
Hmph, let him be arrogant! Does he still think everything is under his control?
Let him taste the bitterness of being the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
The Fourth Elder keenly sensed something amiss the moment Chen Wan'er's fingertips touched him.
However, he was wary and afraid of being discovered by the sect leader and others. He hesitated for a moment, and Chen Wan'er succeeded.
His heart was filled with shock and disbelief. He wondered: Could there really be other people in this dark room?
Moreover, this person was able to cleverly evade his layers of checks. Just who is he?
However, after he calmed down a bit, he quickly figured out the key points.
Judging from the appearance, the person hiding in the shadows is not unfathomably powerful, otherwise they would not have resorted to such methods.
However, he couldn't figure out this person's purpose, nor could he see the other party, which really messed up his plans.
Fortunately, he relied on the power of his soul to control his original body; otherwise, he would truly be at the mercy of others.
But why hasn't his main body returned after being gone for so long? Seeing that the sect leader and the grand elder were about to recover their spiritual power, he was extremely anxious.
"Fourth Elder, how is your spiritual power recovering? Let's go out and take a look."
Upon hearing the First Elder's call, the Fourth Elder was unable to respond.
However, the next moment, everyone heard a voice coming from his mouth:
"Elder, you and the Sect Master should go first. I was seriously injured before and want to take this opportunity to recover properly."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader and the first elder felt that what he said made sense.
"Then, Fourth Elder, you can rest here in peace. We'll go out and investigate the situation."
Don't worry, we'll definitely come back to rescue you once we find a chance to escape.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and quickly stood up, saying:
"Actually, I'm fine. Why don't we go out and take a look together?"
The First Elder and the Sect Master were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance and both felt that the Fourth Elder's behavior today was quite strange.
He was clearly worried that they would abandon him and leave him behind.
After working together for so many years, is there really no trust between us?
The key point is that the Fourth Elder doesn't usually act this way; on the contrary, the Third Elder, who went out, is usually more suspicious.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder was being manipulated by Chen Wan'er to walk outside, his heart filled with complex and indescribable feelings.
He was both glad that he was able to go out and find out what was going on, but he was also furious with himself for what he had just blurted out. Wasn't he just afraid that others wouldn't suspect him?
After the three left, Chen Wan'er quickly began searching the dark room.
However, after searching for a while, she couldn't find what she was looking for, so she had no choice but to go out with them.
As soon as she stepped out of the dark room, Chen Wan'er froze on the spot.
Who exactly are these people in front of us?
Judging from their appearance, they are neither Ma Qi and the Second Elder nor Li Wen and his party.
But who exactly are these people, making such a big fuss?
Chen Wan'er didn't dare to delay and immediately activated her supernatural powers to quickly send a message to Li Wen: "Have you arrived yet?"
Soon, she received a reply from Li Wen: "It's already in the yard, didn't you see it?"
Chen Wan'er was full of doubts. She did see a group of people, but they didn't look like members of the Blood Demon Sect at all.
After all, how could the Blood Demon Sect have an old lady in her seventies or eighties?
Chen Wan'er quickly scanned the people nearby on the magical artifact and, sure enough, saw Li Wen there.
Could this be Li Wen and his group in disguise? If so, their disguise skills are impressive!
