Chapter 475: Chapter 466: Exploration Mission Incomplete

Right now, there are two choices before us.

Rescue, and the deliberately hidden Wu Jue will be discovered by Yin Chong. Yin Chong will suspect Wu Jue’s purpose for being here, and may even further guess that they are planning to head to the Ancient Capital Ruins in the desert. Once Yin Chong knows, if he sends the information back to the sect, it would mean the Changcang Sect knows as well. By then, the two sides are very likely to encounter each other inside the ruins. No need to think to know what both sides’ reactions will be when facing an enemy.

Not rescuing, Wu Jue’s presence won’t be detected by Yin Chong, meaning no one will know about their desert Ancient Capital Ruins exploration plan, making it much safer and smoother.

But, this choice doesn’t actually require choosing.

A human life is right in front of us, even though the three present know in their hearts that it’s impossible for Yin Chong to really take Wei Minmin’s life. Not to mention later, even for now, if anything happens to Wei Minmin, whether it’s her role or her identity, this drama can no longer be filmed.

But, what if?

That thing is in her brain after all, and to say that Wei Minmin truly suffered an undeserved disaster this time.

Wu Jue held a copper bowl just below Wei Minmin’s ear, Jiang Lingxi watched as he tapped a few times on Wei Minmin’s head, and on that white, tender ear of Wei Minmin, an additional winding red line appeared, extending all the way to the corner of her tightly shut eye.

The crease in her brow deepened again.

"While it’s still uncertain whether Yin Chong knows that the Changcang Sect discovered the Ancient Capital Ruins, you all must prepare for the worst-case scenario." As Jiang Lingxi said this, she considered the possibility of going directly to silence Yin Chong, but it was clearly unrealistic, so she abandoned the idea. "I previously mentioned that more materials for resisting the cold should be prepared, now there should also be more usable weapons added."

Shen Yunqing likewise looked solemn, and only relaxed after hearing this advice, sipped a bit of water, and nodded, "Alright."

While the two talked, they both were looking at that red line on Wei Minmin’s face.

In just a moment, the previously motionless red line suddenly wriggled, a sight that was indeed quite eerie.

"That thing bit through the blood vessel in the ear and burrowed in, and it also has a paralyzing effect. This young woman is an ordinary person, so she wouldn’t detect anything."

Since it crawled in through a blood vessel, it would also crawl out through a blood vessel now.

Soon, three pairs of eyes watched a drop of blood drip from Wei Minmin’s ear, followed by another drop, but in this latter drop of blood, a thin, white line could clearly be seen.

"Plop!"

The two drops of blood landed almost simultaneously into the copper bowl, Wu Jue quickly sealed the lid, "Done."

Jiang Lingxi took a tissue to wipe the wound on Wei Minmin’s ear and then watched as the blood line disappeared, "When she wakes up, will she remember what she did tonight?"

"She’ll just think it was a dream, and she should forget about it all when she wakes." Wu Jue said as he tapped the copper bowl with a ’hiss’ sound coming from it, "This thing, based on Yin Chong’s habit of naming, should be called Dream-making Gu, forcibly inserting a dream and controlling the person to turn the dream into reality. Not very powerful, but quite annoying."

"Gu insect?"

Wu Jue glanced at Shen Yunqing, who was still quietly sipping water, "Yin Chong holds a high position in Changcang Sect, his greatest trump card is a Life Gu, bestowed upon him by the Sect Leader. He has concocted many small gadgets using this Life Gu, of which the Dream-making Gu is one."

Jiang Lingxi lifted her eyes to look at him quietly after hearing this.

Wu Jue’s heart skipped a beat under her gaze.

"It’s getting late, I’ll take the young lady back, you two should also rest early." With that, he placed the copper bowl in a cloth bag, then hoisted Wei Minmin back onto his back, and hurriedly left.

Shen Yunqing followed behind to close the car door.

Turning around, he was met with a pair of eyes containing a faint smile.

"It’s unknowingly past ten, indeed time to rest. I’ll go wash up first, by the time I’m done, you should have organized what you want to say to me, right?"

This evening, things happened one after another, she hadn’t even had the chance to freshen up.

"...Alright."

*

The candlelight in the tent was suddenly extinguished.

Representing that the Dream-making Gu which had just been planted in Wei Minmin’s brain hadn’t completed its mission, and had met an untimely death instead.

Yin Chong’s face turned pale, and he suddenly stood up.

Luan Hua watched with eyes wide open as the candle before them was extinguished. There wasn’t the slightest wind in the tent; it was as if an invisible hand had suddenly pinched it out.

Sitting right across from the lord, she couldn’t help but break out into a cold sweat upon witnessing the scene.

"My lord, this..."

The flame was burning well, how was it suddenly extinguished!

"The Dream-making Gu died." Yin Chong said as he was about to walk out of the tent but stopped suddenly after a few steps, "Wu Jue is here."

"Wu Jue?" Luan Hua didn’t immediately understand, but upon realizing, she instinctively stood up, "Isn’t Wu Jue dead? How could he be here?"

"Changning, and that Zhang Ying." Yin Chong let out a curt, cold laugh, "I should’ve thought of it earlier, Shen Yunqing and Jiang Lingxi probably have a significant relationship with Wu Jue. He deliberately remained out of sight, probably not wanting me to know. This time, he had no choice but to expose himself."

"As for his purpose in coming to the desert, hasn’t he always been trying to stop the Sect Leader’s immortality plan? This time should be no different. By the way, has there been any task from within the sect recently related to the desert here?"

Luan Hua quickly pulled out a specially-made phone, unlocked it, and opened the only software on it.

"Address search, Liangchuan, desert, got it, it’s an exploration mission of the Ancient Capital Ruins. The mission was accepted some time ago, marked as still in exploration, incomplete. Strange, it’s been several days..."

Yin Chong directly took the phone from her hand, using his own permissions to find out who accepted the mission, "It was Chong Jiu who accepted it, his strength is not inferior to mine."

So the question arises.

The casualty rate for exploration missions is not particularly high, although the mission location this time is in the desert, with Chong Jiu’s capabilities, it shouldn’t take so many days and still be incomplete.

Could it be he died unexpectedly inside?

If Wu Jue’s visit is also regarding this Ancient Capital Ruins, then how did he know about it?

The more he thought, the more confused he felt, so Yin Chong simply made a call to Chong Jiu’s phone.

Their phones can only connect within the sect, and even if others get them and try to connect, it will automatically self-destruct if any discrepancies are detected.

It was possible to get through, but no one answered.

After hanging up, he also tracked Chong Jiu’s phone location, but upon seeing the location displayed on the phone, he was first stunned, then furrowed his brows even tighter, "How could it be at a hotel in Liangchuan City?"

This person didn’t tend to the task ahead and ran to a hotel for pleasure during the mission?

But the Chong Jiu he knew wouldn’t behave like this!

"Luan Hua."

"Here."

"You head to this hotel overnight, check whether Chong Jiu’s phone is with him. If not, bring out the person holding Chong Jiu’s phone!"
