Chapter 758: Catch a Ready-Made One
Unable to discern Wei Ruo’s true intentions, Zhong Niangyao did not ask any questions, and left directly after bidding farewell.
Lu Yichen was still handling affairs, so she didn’t plan to return so quickly. Therefore, she slowly made her way back.
It was halfway there that she suddenly saw a shadow flash by. A glimmer of perplexity crossed her eyes as she immediately followed it.
Chasing the shadow, Zhong Niangyao arrived at a secluded place. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the shadow. However, just as her hand touched the shadow, it vanished like dust, dissipating into thin air.
At the same time, she saw a figure lying on the ground not far away, which seemed to be no longer moving.
Ordinary people would have hurried away from such a scene. Otherwise, if someone were to see them later, they would be unable to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
But Zhong Niangyao was no ordinary person. After looking around, the corners of her mouth curved upward in a significant arc, as if she had thought of something amusing, and her Bead eyes rotated slightly.
Thereupon, she leisurely walked to the figure lying on the ground.
Upon seeing the fallen figure, a piercing light flashed in her eyes, and a chilly aura emanated from her being.
It was because she saw the Little Immortal on the ground, shriveled and devoid of any immortal energy. Clearly, someone had drained all cultivation from them.
She didn’t have to guess to know it was the perpetrator’s doing.
Before, she and Lu Yichen had theorized that the culprit had abducted so many Little Immortals to perform some Forbidden Technique. Now seeing this Little Immortal’s tragic state, what else could she be confused about? The culprit had taken so many Little Immortals to suck away their immortal power. Without thinking, she could guess the fate of those who had disappeared.
