Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 515 Movements In The Dark!
"Are you sure you heard it right?" In the middle of a well-lit room, two men prostrated themselves in front of a huge, body-sized mirror that displayed the figure of a young woman dressed in the outfit of an Alchemy Pavilion inner disciple.
One of the two men raised his head a little before answering.
"I can swear in the name of the lord that what I said is true." The man trembled, feeling the coldness even through a mere projection of the woman. "The boy said he was from the Benevolent Guardian Sect."
Even while answering, he dared not look the woman in the eye.
"I will believe your words…" the woman spoke in a calm tone, which soon shifted to a colder and cruel one. "But you dared to swear in the name of our lord? Who do you think you are!"
Splatter!
Following her enraged tone, the man's head blew up like a watermelon, painting the wooden walls red.
"You…" The woman shifted her eyes from the dead man to the only man left in the room, her eyes containing a hint of disgust. "Keep an eye on the boy and monitor his every move. I want to know when he leaves the capital."
The man, whom the woman was speaking to, glanced at his dead teammate with a hint of disgust before bowing to the woman. "As you wish, master! I will not let the boy out of my sight."
'That bastard dared to use the name of our lord like that? He truly deserved to die.'
Wei Rui nodded at the man in satisfaction, "I am sure the general will be happy to know that the sect that dared to oppose us has finally come out of the rat hole."
At the mention of the general, both the man and the woman herself shivered. She could still recall the punishment she received because of the death of her underlings.
'I wonder if he will be able to forgive me after I give the head of the boy from that shitty sect to the general.' Thinking of this, the woman could not help but shiver in anticipation.
"Report any important information through the jade slip I gave you. I will be contacting the general in these days.." Saying that, the woman in the mirror vanished, making the mirror appear to be a normal accessory.
The man stood up from his initial kneeling position and kicked his dead teammate before burning his body. Shifting his clothes to ones similar to those assassins who moved at night, the man vanished from the room without a trace.
The mirror had also magically vanished from its previous position, leaving a silent, bloody room painted with the innards of a dead man.
…
In the depths of the capital city,
Sitting in his study room behind a luxurious table, Wuhan rubbed his head while listening to the report his subordinate had just given him.
It was only after a while that he opened his mouth to speak, "Did you check the whole forest? Were there any traces?"
"No, Your Majesty… we believe that Ah San died at the hands of a formidable enemy that he was following." The shadow guard replied with a hint of coldness in her voice.
"Did you report everything to that guy?"

"…I did before coming here," the woman replied after a bit of pause, as if recalling her meeting with Noah.
"What did he say?"
"He said that there is no need to pursue this matter any longer as they will show themselves to us when the time is right."
Wuhan narrowed his eyes as he sensed a bit of deeper coldness in her voice. 'It looks like she is annoyed by his words. To think that guy would make a shadow guard show emotion.'
"What he said is right," Wuhan said while carefully observing her reaction. "The capital might soon get chaotic."
Hearing his words, the woman raised her head suddenly, "Is His Majesty referring to the missing reports from the city? I heard many people vanished without a trace from the capital today."
"Indeed…" Wuhan nodded. Even though he was behind the disappearance of those people, he acted like it had nothing to do with him.
"We have to make sure nothing happens during tomorrow's event. Make sure to increase the security at that time. As for the death of Ah San, that guy will take care of it himself."
"He will?" The shadow guard sounded shocked but then realized what she had just done. "Ah! Forgive me, Your Majesty, I have spoken out of line!"

She hurriedly knelt before him, her forehead dripping with sweat.
"It appears that your training is still not complete. I expect better from my shadow guards." The woman shivered to hear the cold and commanding tone from Wuhan.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I will make sure to train even harder and not to let your expectations down."
"Leave for now." Seeing her seriousness, Wuhan waved his hand indifferently, signaling for the woman to leave. She also did not refute his wishes and left the place.
"I wonder just what kind of forces are backing this guy…" Wuhan's voice echoed in the room as he looked down at the scroll on the table which showed Long Xiang's information.
His eyes gazed outside the room at the full moon in the sky, wondering what the future had in store for his empire. With his thoughts distracted by the darkness of the world, Wuhan failed to notice the slight fluctuation in the depths of the second floor of the empire.
Chained by several chains emitting a Dao rhythm, the mysterious coffin trembled before its lid shifted a little, showing a dark gap inside of it.
"The forces of the shadows have started to make their moves… the cult is also progressing at a fast pace. It looks like the impending doom will be close at hand." A cold and eerie voice escaped the coffin as it echoed in the room. "I wonder how the little emperor will react to so much pressure."
"But these things have nothing to do with me… the seal is starting to get weaker. I have to take the chance to regain my strength~" The voice cracked before a wisp of dark qi escaped the coffin, and the chain around the coffin showed signs of decaying, even though it was only at a molecular level.
Everything happened so fast that Wuhan, who was distracted, did not notice anything at all, while those weaker than him had no chance of even sensing something like that.
