My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 140 - 139: Soul Lamp

"Boom!" went the sound.

The solid wall instantly shattered, and only then did Gao Fei clearly see the true face of that object—it was a small knife, about the size of a pinky, pitch-black and seemingly very sharp. Gao Fei's face twitched fiercely. Dongfang Dadao was indeed a talent, to have hidden a small knife in his mouth. Had it not been for his quick reaction just now, he might have actually been struck.

So sharp was the knife that, even if it didn't claim his life, it would have caused him serious injury.

Gao Fei muttered to himself, Dongfang Dadao was really something, daring to hide a small knife in his mouth. Wasn't he afraid of cutting off his own tongue?

"You're so lucky!" Seeing that Gao Fei had escaped disaster, a hint of disappointment flashed in Dongfang Dadao's eyes, "However, you won't live for long! My master will come to seek revenge on you soon!" As he spoke, Dongfang Dadao spat out another small knife, "Swoosh!" The knife spun in the air and then stabbed towards Dongfang Dadao's head.

"Puchi!"

Dongfang Dadao's head instantly burst, and the headless body trembled violently a few times before stopping altogether.

He was dead, a once outstanding man had died just like that!

"Dead?" Gao Fei was stunned, "Committed suicide?" Gao Fei's brows slowly furrowed. Now there was trouble: Dongfang Dadao was a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, and now that he was dead, the Yin Yang Sect certainly wouldn't let the matter rest.

Over a dozen elders at the Inedia Stage, and a Sect Leader at the Golden Core Stage... This power was something Gao Fei couldn't contend with.

Dongfang Dadao had just played a trick and had not told Gao Fei about the Sect Leader being in seclusion. He wanted to intimidate Gao Fei, to make him hesitate and be afraid! Now, it seemed his objective had been achieved; Gao Fei indeed began to harbor deep concerns. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Stay calm, I must stay calm! Think slowly, think carefully, there must be a solution." Gao Fei took several deep breaths, forcefully calming himself down, "The simplest and most effective way is to increase my cultivation. As long as I can increase my cultivation, I don't have to fear the Yin Yang Sect's revenge, but... advancing in cultivation takes time... a lot of time...

"First, I'll give my parents a call." Gao Fei picked up his cellphone from the bed and quickly dialed a number, "Mom, I need to tell you something important... I've offended some people recently, and they might target you, so you need to move quickly, find a hidden place to hide... Don't ask too many questions, just do as I say...

You don't have to worry, I can handle it, as long as you're safe, then I can focus on dealing with the enemy... Right, leave quietly under the cover of darkness, don't tell anyone... Yes, call me if anything happens... Okay, that's it."

Gao Fei was unfamiliar with the Yin Yang Sect's actions, but if they were a sect that didn't hesitate to achieve their goals, then they might target his parents. That's why he was so anxious to call his parents and have them hide immediately.

His parents were his only weakness. As long as his parents were safe, he could deal with the Yin Yang Sect calmly.

"Since it has already happened, I must face it squarely." Gao Fei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Yin Yang Sect, if you know what's good for you, don't come after me. Otherwise, I'll make sure you suffer immensely!" Gao Fei had the confidence, for he possessed the Demon God Heritage. Given enough time, he could grow into an unparalleled overlord!

"Brother Fei... have you finished..." Lu Hao's muffled voice came from the next room.

"Coming." Gao Fei opened the door and walked in, then poked Lu Hao, "There, you can move now." When Dongfang Dadao had burst in, Gao Fei had sealed Lu Hao's body and locked him in the room. He did this for two reasons: first, to prevent Lu Hao from getting accidentally injured; second, so Lu Hao wouldn't find out that he was a cultivator.

"Ouch... that was really unpleasant just now." Lu Hao climbed up from the ground, raising his arms and stretching his legs, loosening his numb body, "Brother Fei, what happened to that guy?"

"He's dead," Gao Fei said indifferently.

"Ah?" Lu Hao was taken aback, "Dead? Did you kill him?"

Gao Fei shook his head, "He killed himself."

"Suicide?" Lu Hao was confused, "Why would he commit suicide? Is he an idiot?"

"The man is already dead. What's the use of talking about this now?" Gao Fei didn't want to continue the topic, "Pack up and go back to the capital."

"Eh? You're sending me away? What did I do wrong that you're sending me away?" Lu Hao was displeased.

"You didn't do anything wrong!" Gao Fei waved his hand, "It's just that I have an urgent matter! I'm about to leave, and there's no use for you to stay here alone. Better head back to the capital."

"What?" Lu Hao was stunned, "You're leaving? Where to?"

"Don't ask so many questions, hurry back home."

"Brother Fei, are you in some kind of trouble? Tell me, I'll help you sort it out."

"You can't sort it out."

"Brother Fei..." Lu Hao was about to speak when Gao Fei cut him off.

"Alright, stop talking, let's hurry up and go," Gao Fei said, leaving no room for argument.

Driven by Gao Fei's forceful urging, Lu Hao could only pack his luggage and return to the capital. Before leaving, Lu Hao told Gao Fei to call him if he needed help, ready to come at a moment's notice.

After seeing off Lu Hao, Gao Fei canceled the reservation for the presidential suite and quickly left the hotel. He then rented an apartment in the suburbs. Before leaving the hotel, Gao Fei packed up Dongfang Dadao's corpse in a bag and buried it in a vacant lot.

Having done all this, Gao Fei called Xia Tao, "Old Xia, someone just attacked me, but I managed to subdue them. However, the guy was tough and chose to commit suicide... I've buried the body, but the incident has caused quite a stir... I suspect the hotel staff will call the police..."

"Leave it to me to handle," Xia Tao said, "I'll smooth things over for you. No one will come looking for trouble with you."

"I appreciate your help," Gao Fei thanked him.

"Have you figured out the identity of the assassin?" Xia Tao asked with concern. "If you need my help, just say the word! Don't be polite!"

"It's the son of an old enemy of mine. Don't worry; I can handle it myself," Gao Fei casually said, though some things he knew better to keep to himself. Although Xia Tao held significant power, he was still just a common man, utterly incapable of contending with a Cultivate Immortality Sect. The trouble was his own doing, and he had to resolve it by himself; he absolutely could not involve Xia Tao.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Gao Fei ended the call.

"I need to speed up my cultivation! Only by increasing my cultivation can I better deal with the Yin Yang Sect." Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the inner core of a wolf-headed monster in his hands, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

...

Southwestern Barren Mountains.

Yin Yang Sect.

Seventh Elder Lu Sanyang was sitting in the living room, slowly reading a secret manual. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would furrow his brows, ponder it carefully, and smile once he figured it out.

"Master, it's terrible, a major incident has occurred!" A middle-aged man ran in, flustered. His name was Wang Yang, the prized direct disciple of Lu Sanyang, and a well-respected senior within the Yin Yang Sect.

Lu Sanyang put down the secret manual and looked up. "What major incident?"

"The soul lamp of our little junior brother... suddenly went out," Wang Yang said hurriedly. The "little junior brother" he mentioned was Dongfang Dadao, who was the last to join and thus the junior.

"What did you say!" Lu Sanyang stood up abruptly, "Say that again!!!"

Wang Yang took a deep breath, "The soul lamp of our little junior brother has gone out..."

"Impossible! This cannot be!" Lu Sanyang roared, "You must have seen it wrongly! Yes, you saw it wrongly!" When Dongfang Dadao joined the Yin Yang Sect, he used his own soul to create a soul lamp. The extinguishing of the soul lamp meant Dongfang Dadao had died.

Not only Dongfang Dadao, but all disciples had their soul lamps, and these lamps were kept in a special room guarded by designated disciples. If any of the lamps went out, it signified the death of a disciple. This method was incredibly accurate and had never failed before.

A thousand years ago, when the Yin Yang Sect was first established and still weak, to expand the sect's influence, the Ancestral Master sent out numerous disciples to widely promote the Yin Yang Sect, essentially advertising it. By making the sect's name known, more people would join.

As it turned out, advertising was indeed very effective. In just a few years, thousands came to join the Yin Yang Sect. After a selection process, several hundreds with high cultivation talent were kept, and these disciples later achieved great success...

Later on, many Yin Yang Sect disciples were murdered while on missions, and their deaths were only discovered after a long time had passed, with nothing left but bones. The long delay made it difficult to investigate the murderers.

The Ancestral Master ruminated deeply and ultimately invented the soul lamp. Anyone who joined the Yin Yang Sect had to leave behind a soul lamp. As long as a lamp broke, it indicated the disciple's death, prompting the Yin Yang Sect to immediately deploy forces to avenge the disciple, often dealing with a recent event, thus making it easier to find the murderer.

Afterward, the Ancestral Master also established a rule that disciples must report to their elders before going out, explain the reason for their departure, and secure permission before leaving. This way, the Yin Yang Sect could better track their disciples' whereabouts.

Using the soul lamps to know the life and death of disciples and the sect's rules to control their whereabouts, it must be said that the founder of the Yin Yang Sect was indeed very cunning.

Although the Ancestral Master had passed away, the soul lamp invention remained intact and was passed down through the sect.

Now, with Dongfang Dadao's soul lamp extinguished, it meant that he was dead.
