Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 426
Cen Lizhui paused for a moment. If he used the residual power on this piece of cloth to search, what he might be looking for could be Chen Muxue’s whereabouts after invoking the gods.
But at that time, did Chen Muxue really still have the ability to invoke the gods again? And what was the motive behind invoking the gods? Could it be that she encountered a major crisis? That’s unlikely, as Lin Qing described, he was just standing at the door and couldn’t have failed to notice...
Or maybe, it wasn’t actually the Summoning God Technique?
Since childhood, it was the first time Cen Lizhui’s mind was so confused.
"Try it." Chu Wuyi handed the piece of cloth forward to Cen Lizhui again, something flashed in his eyes.
Chen Muxue could use such powerful black energy, although this black energy was somewhat different from the one that harmed the Chu Family, but essentially, it stemmed from the same root, and probably belonged to the Demon Clan, always something sinister.
Cen Lizhui couldn’t think of any other methods at that moment; he thought even if it was a summoning, it was summoned onto Chen Muxue herself, which would provide at least some clue to her whereabouts. Taking unforeseen measures, he extracted a trace of black energy from the cloth and inserted it into the Thousand Paper Cranes.
He wondered if it was his illusion, for a moment, it seemed that trace of black energy came alive.
The Thousand Paper Cranes were incredibly efficient. As soon as the black energy was in place, it flew decisively along the route Chen Muxue took to leave the palace, Cen Lizhui and Chu Wuyi following behind. When they saw the cranes fly into the Huo Family’s Villa, both fell silent.
"She actually returned on her own?" Chu Wuyi frowned.
Cen Lizhui’s heart sank with a thud; he had another hypothesis. If that "god" was summoned but didn’t leave, gaining its own consciousness it forcibly occupied Chen Muxue’s body, then this version of Chen Muxue, returned to the unsuspecting children...
Those figures shrouded in black mist, Cen Lizhui couldn’t believe they would be friendly.
Unexpectedly, Cen Lizhui, while pondering over the incorrect "summoning theory," managed to step closer to the truth; it was quite astonishing.
Upon realizing this, Cen Lizhui couldn’t afford further hesitation and rushed into the Huo Family’s Villa with anxiety; the children should be safe, right?!
Chen Muxue cared deeply about those children. If the children were hurt because of her, or even... how would she blame herself once she regained consciousness?
Just imagining this, Cen Lizhui felt a pang in his heart, and with unbelievable speed, he dashed into the Huo Family’s Villa to check, but found no sign of any children, let alone Chen Muxue.
Fortunately, there were no signs of a struggle here; everything was quite tidy, almost as if they had all gone out for a trip.
Cen Lizhui contemplated using the Thousand Paper Cranes again, the ones previously infused with black energy stopped on Chen Muxue’s bed and, as light particles dispersed.
It seemed that the summoned "god" had temporarily departed from this place.
Thus, Cen Lizhui took out another Thousand Paper Cranes, not needing to use spiritual power derived from Chen Muxue. He was able to simulate spiritual power ninety-nine percent similar to Chen Muxue’s using his memory alone.
The Huo Family had torn off their facade, and Chen Muxue didn’t intend to stay much longer.
After receiving ten thousand silver notes, she obtained the so-called Wuyou Fruit that could supposedly counter the black energy; she pinched a bit from the small pill and tasted it before slightly frowning.
"For this, I’m not settling accounts with you for now." Chen Muxue looked at Huo Lian, her gaze falling on him and Changgui holding hands as if they were father and son, "Yet your Huo Family’s Villa will have to accommodate us for a little while longer."
