Chapter 182: Chapter 181: Anything Is Fine, as Long as It’s Not the Young Married Woman, Su Qi

Of course, it was Jiang Zuo who spoke. He saw Boss He as soon as he came down, so he casually gave him a tip.

Boss He looked at Jiang Zuo, unable to believe his ears. ’Throw his daughter into the lake?’

’Wouldn’t that be killing her?’

Jiang Zuo was only offering a passing suggestion. He didn’t care whether Boss He believed him or not.

So after speaking, he turned and left.

He needed to find a place to sit quietly for a while.

Boss He looked at his daughter, then at Jiang Zuo’s receding back.

For some reason, he recalled the Daoist’s words: ’Do not have any doubts.’

In the end, Boss He gritted his teeth, waded into the lake with Xiaoye in his arms, and slowly lowered his daughter into the water.

The lake water was cold, and Xiaoye’s body was just as cold. Besides, who knew what lurked within its depths.

Putting his daughter in the water felt like throwing her into a pit of fire.

To any onlooker, Boss He must have looked like he had gone insane.

But the moment Xiaoye was placed in the lake—or rather, the instant the Array Stone she carried touched the water—it was replenished. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The Ghost Cultivation Mark was quickly suppressed. A warm current began to furiously nourish Xiaoye’s body, and her once ice-cold skin rapidly returned to a normal temperature.

Even though she was in the water, she was completely fine.

The moment he saw Xiaoye wake up, Boss He felt that the heavens were smiling down on him.

Xiaoye wasn’t cured, but at least she was alive.

The Array Stone Jiang Zuo had given her couldn’t truly cure Xiaoye, but within the Immortal Spirit Spring, she would be completely safe from the Ghost Cultivation Mark.

In the water, she could remain perfectly healthy.

If Boss He hadn’t followed Jiang Zuo’s instructions, or if he had hesitated even for a moment, Xiaoye would have been beyond saving.

Even if she had been saved, she would have been frail and sickly for the rest of her life.

So, Xiaoye’s fortune was truly remarkable.

She had encountered Jiang Zuo, and she had also encountered that Daoist.

More importantly, she had a good father.

Before long, Jiang Zuo arrived at the second-floor rest area, where unaffected ordinary people were gathered.

’I should just be able to find a seat,’ he thought.

There weren’t many people here, but a group in strange attire was the most eye-catching.

It seemed these people were being lectured by the Holy Land People.

Things like, "Stealing from ordinary people? Have you no shame? And you don’t just steal from one person, you go after their whole family! Where’s your dignity?"

It was that sort of talk, anyway.

Most of them, however, were focused on studying the issue affecting the ordinary people.

As for the problem with the Immortal Spirit Lake Water, that was for people higher up the ladder to handle.

Jiang Zuo sat quietly to one side. Soon, Chi Xue Child and the others were finally done being lectured. They had been about to leave, but then they suddenly spotted Jiang Zuo.

In the end, they came over as a group and sat down where Jiang Zuo was.

Everyone maintained a tacit silence. Then Jiang Zuo took out his phone, and the others followed suit.

Chu Qing was looking at Chu Qing’s phone.

She had a habit of smashing her own phone.

Then, everyone received a group message notification.

However, a few people’s phones still had the sound on.

Xiao Xiaomo said, "Chu Qing, turn off your sound."

Chu Qing nodded in agreement. ’Sister Xiao is like a female gangster; better not to mess with her.’

Nearby, Liu Yiyi also sensibly silenced her phone, and Liu Yu did the same.

Only then did they look at their group chat.

Po Xiao: "The two people leading the Ghost Cultivator plot are dead."

Everyone looked shocked. This news was explosive.

’The plot just started, and the leaders are already dead?’

Fairy Mo Yan was the first to type back: "Senior, did you kill them?"

Blade Master Hai Bian was right behind her: "Fellow Daoist, where did you find them?"

Liuyue Xue: "Does this mean we don’t have to worry anymore? I even told my Sect to stop fishing for the time being."

Liu Yiyi: "My fingers are too slow. A step behind. Liuyue Xue said what I wanted to say."

Chi Xue Child glanced around. He had a Sect too, but none of its members had come.

So it seemed he had no one to be concerned about.

Of course, even if they had come, Chi Xue Child would have been more than happy for them to get into trouble so they would have to come to him for help.

After all, he wasn’t afraid of the Ghost Cultivation Mark.

Meanwhile, Chu Qing glanced at the chat once before leaning directly against Xiao Xiaomo to sleep. She had no interest in any of this.

The sleeping Chu Qing looked very serene and pretty. She’d be even better if she didn’t forge iron.

That was what most people thought.

Because every year, Chu Qing would stir up some kind of trouble.

Just then, Jiang Zuo replied: "I ran into them by chance on the sixth floor. They’re dead, but their plan is still in motion.

There should be Ghost Cultivation Marks in the lake now.

The incidents with the ordinary people on the first and second floors were also caused by the marks."

At this, Xiao Xiaomo asked, "Can we inform the Holy Land?"

Chi Xue Child and the others thought to themselves: ’Obviously. Don’t you know Po Xiao is the Holy Land’s son-in-law?’

They felt everyone in the group needed a heads-up about this to avoid any mix-ups later.

Notifying the Holy Land was a given. After all, Su Qi was preparing for the ritual, and if something went wrong, she wouldn’t have an easy time either.

Then, Jiang Zuo sent another message.

Po Xiao: "Don’t go to the sixth floor lightly. I left the Heart-piercing Snake there."

Everyone was instantly speechless.

’Senior, what on earth were you just doing?’

’And in such a short amount of time, haven’t you done a bit too much?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t care what they were thinking. As for the Holy Land, he felt he had already done enough.

The Holy Land wasn’t staffed by incompetents; they would naturally know how to handle the situation.

Even if he said nothing, the Holy Land could resolve the matter. It was just a question of time.

After all, the two Ghost Cultivators were already dead, and he now controlled the Heart-piercing Snake.

Afterward, Xiao Xiaomo contacted Yue Xi, while Liu Yiyi and Liuyue Xue contacted their respective Sects. They needed to get their people over here.

They needed Chi Xue Child to check them; it would be bad if they were truly afflicted with a Ghost Cultivation Mark.

Meanwhile, deep within the Holy Land, Yue Xi immediately spoke up after receiving Xiao Xiaomo’s message. "We have news from that side. There are no other major issues. Besides the Ghost Cultivation Marks on the ordinary people and the ones in the lake, nothing else will affect anyone."

The plainly-dressed woman asked curiously, "How did their source find that out? I also received a report that the ordinary people were only afflicted with Ghost Cultivation Marks, but there was no mention of the ones in the water."

Yue Xi, of course, didn’t know how their source was so well-informed. In any case, as long as they weren’t an enemy, it was fine.

At most, they just had designs on the Saintess.

Who could blame them? The Saintess was beautiful, after all.

But even if it wasn’t about the Saintess, that was fine. As long as it wasn’t about that young wife, Su Qi, anything could be discussed.

At this moment, the noblewoman said, "I’ll deal with the Ghost Cultivators who infiltrated. You all handle the Ghost Cultivation Marks."

The plainly-dressed woman nodded. "Alright. First, we’ll set up a detector for Ghost Cultivation Marks at the entrance, then deal with the marks in the lake water.

Leave the situation on-site to Ming Yu. The necessary equipment will be sent over immediately."

Soon, the Ghost Cultivators began to be captured.

The ordinary people also began to be cured, and the mark on Xiaoye’s body was completely eradicated.

Then, the noblewoman suddenly said, "They’re saying the person in charge this time is on the sixth floor, and that there’s also a secret weapon.

But there are no Ghost Cultivators on the sixth floor. We wouldn’t have missed any this time.

They slipped in at the beginning because of a loophole in the ritual’s security, but that loophole has been patched. Yet, we still haven’t found them."
