"A wet-behind-the-ears kid is telling fortunes?" Qing Yangzi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Chen Duxuan, standing beside him, also frowned slightly. He pinched his fingers together for a calculation and was shocked to find that the youngster's prediction was correct. His eyes imdiately filled with incredulity.
This is going to be difficult. Chen Duxuan's expression turned ugly.
He had originally planned to use this shop to divine Xia Liang's true residence, but it turned out this youngster was also a mber of the Taoist School. He was montarily stumped.
Just as Chen Duxuan was considering whether he should beat a retreat, a figure walked past him. The woman was extrely beautiful and dressed lavishly. The most eye-catching thing about her was the platinum necklace she wore, which featured an Angel with spread wings and was inlaid with a yellow gemstone.
This was Zhou Ruo, who had just finished shopping with her best friend and was on her way ho.
Seeing this, Chen Duxuan's brow furrowed. Judging by Zhou Ruo's features, she didn't seem to be a person of wealth. Yet her attire suggested great wealth. Most importantly, Chen Duxuan sensed sothing familiar about her.
He imdiately pinched his fingers for another calculation, and beads of sweat ford on his forehead. After a long mont, Chen Duxuan sighed in relief. It had been difficult, but he managed to glean a piece of information about Zhou Ruo: she was connected to Xia Tian. She was his lover!
This was the only piece of information Chen Duxuan obtained.
"Follow her!" Chen Duxuan made a swift decision.
However, they were unaware that the mont they started following Zhou Ruo, a man behind them had noticed. He was one of Zhou Ruo's protectors. Qingxue, Xi Yiqian, and Luu Qi all had such people by their side. After all, Xia Tian's identity was anything but ordinary.
Looking at Chen Duxuan in his Taoist attire, the protector thought for a mont and then made a call.
It was Xia Tian on the other end. "Don't worry about him," he said casually. He had already perford his own calculations.
Chen Duxuan wouldn't dare to make a move on Zhou Ruo on the street, especially since she was carrying sothing given to her by Xia Liang. It was far more than a simple peace charm.
Before long, Chen Duxuan followed Zhou Ruo to a villa complex.
Watching Zhou Ruo enter, Qing Yangzi finally spoke up. "Master, why are we following this woman?"
"She is Xia Liang's lover."
"Huh?" Qing Yangzi was clearly taken aback for a mont, an expression that quickly turned to envy.
Chen Duxuan was very pleased to have found Zhou Ruo's address. He glanced at the sky. It was seven o'clock in the evening, and since it was already November, the sky was completely dark.
Divining Zhou Ruo's fate was difficult, but divining an ordinary person's was much simpler. After a brief calculation, Chen Duxuan determined the optimal ti to sneak in.
He slipped into the villa complex and made his way to the Central Villa.
Looking at the enormous villa before him, even Chen Duxuan was a little stunned.
Qing Yangzi inhaled sharply. "Just how rich is this Xia Liang? To think even his mistress lives in a villa like this."
"Hmph! It doesn't matter! This ti, I will bring ruin to his entire family!" Chen Duxuan snorted coldly.
With his two disciples in tow, he covertly infiltrated Xia Tian's backyard and began to set things up. What he didn't realize was that while he believed he had evaded all the surveillance caras in the villa complex, Xia Liang had secretly installed one of his own. It captured his every move.
"Hm? Isn't that Chen Duxuan?"
"What's he doing here?"
"Is this the person Master Xia Tian was talking about?"
"That's right," Xia Tian nodded. "It's one thing for him to co after as part of a Taoist School conflict. But when he realizes he can't beat and decides to target my family instead... that's crossing the line."
In the backyard, Chen Duxuan gave the area a quick look. "Bring out the items."
"Yes, Master!"
His two disciples imdiately opened their bundles and took out five glass jars.
Upon seeing this, Cha Bin sighed. "I never thought he'd be this kind of person... to set up sothing as vicious as the Five Poisons Sha."
HISS...
...
The Five Poisons Sha, as its na suggests, is a malevolent hex created using five types of poisons. Once it takes effect, it brings complete ruin to a family, whose mbers all die incredibly grueso deaths.
While the onlookers lanted, Chen Duxuan had already begun his work.
The others were growing anxious.
"Master Xia Tian, aren't you going to go out and stop him?"
"That's right! We've all seen what he's doing."
"It'll be a disaster if he finishes setting it up!"
...
"Then please, everyone, co out with ."
"No problem."
Xia Tian flipped a switch, and a bright spotlight suddenly bathed Chen Duxuan in its beam.
I've been discovered! Chen Duxuan's heart leaped into his throat.
His expression turned exceedingly ugly as he watched Xia Tian walk out. "Xia Liang! Why are you here?"
"Heh." Xia Tian sneered. "What's the matter? You don't have the guts to face directly, so you ca to harm my family instead? That's a clear violation of the Taoist School's rules of engagent."
Chen Duxuan's face grew even uglier upon hearing this.
But Xia Tian gave him no chance to explain. He clapped his hands, and Cha Bin walked out with the others.
It's over. Chen Duxuan instantly realized he had fallen into Xia Tian's trap. Once word of this got out, his reputation would be destroyed. There would be no place left for him in all of Qingyun City.
A venomous glint flashed in Chen Duxuan's eyes. Since you're determined to ruin , I'll make sure you live a life worse than death! He might not be as powerful as Xia Liang, but it's not the thief who steals once that you fear—it's the one who never stops plotting. No matter how strong you are, everyone has monts of weakness!
"Hmph," Xia Tian said calmly, observing Chen Duxuan's expression. "Do you really think you still have a chance?"
Without waiting for a response, he turned to Cha Bin.
"Since he has broken the rules of the Taoist School, I'm permitted to use other thods to deal with him, correct?"
"Of course."
