Chapter 135 Subduing Wang Lei

"Alright, you may leave now."

If this matter is handled properly, you will certainly be included in the next stage of the antidote.

The elder bowed respectfully, not daring to delay for the slightest, and hurriedly withdrew.

Li Wenxuan immediately ordered his men to move all his belongings to the clan leader's residence.

Now, he has finally achieved his goal and taken the first step in his plan.

Next, we must devote all our efforts to developing and expanding the Blood Demon Sect.

After recounting the outcome of these events to Chen Wan'er, Li Wen quickly received her reply:

"I need to find an inside agent within the Thousand Illusions Sect to help me infiltrate it. I must personally investigate thoroughly."

If the Thousand Illusions Sect is indeed hiding something, I'll stay there as your spy and provide support from within.

Li Wen was truly surprised that Chen Wan'er, a woman, would have such courage and be willing to risk her life.

Thinking of this, his gratitude towards Gao Huohuo deepened even further.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly for Li Wen and things had basically settled down, Gao Huohuo sent a message to Wang Lei:

"I have important business to discuss with you today at the place where we first met."

Upon receiving Gao Huohuo's message, Wang Lei was immediately filled with mixed emotions.

That encounter in the underground river was like a small ripple in the long river of his life.

After all, it was just a verbal agreement between the two, and he even thought that Gao Huohuo had long forgotten about it.

When he rushed to the agreed place, he looked up and saw Gao Huohuo.

Seeing that she was still at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, a different thought quietly arose in his heart.

“My lord, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I have not heard from you at all. I thought you had long forgotten about this matter of mine.”

Wang Lei spoke first, his words still carrying a hint of respect, but also revealing a probing intent.

Gao Huohuo's gaze was indifferent; with just a light sweep, he took in Wang Lei's cultivation level—the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

No wonder his arrogance was practically overflowing.

In front of Wang Lei, Gao Huohuo calmly took out a pill, tilted her head back, and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Wang Lei assumed that she was still recovering from her injury over the past year and was trying to take advantage of her, and he was immediately filled with excitement.

But in an instant, the smug look on his face froze.

A mocking smile appeared on Gao Huohuo's lips, and then he felt a numbness all over his body.

Apart from his mouth, which could barely open and close, his limbs and bones seemed to be bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

"My lord, what... what's wrong with me?"

Wang Lei stared wide-eyed in horror at Gao Huohuo.

"It's nothing," Gao Huohuo said in a cool tone.

"I just couldn't stand the way you talk to me these days, so I'm giving you a little punishment to teach you what manners are."

Wang Lei's mind raced, and he instantly realized that this was clearly Gao Huohuo's warning to him.

Although Gao Huohuo has not had any physical contact with him since they met.

But this one move alone was enough to make him realize the truth.

Even though he was now at the advanced stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was still powerless against Gao Huohuo, who was at the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.

It would be an easy thing for someone to manipulate him.

"My lord, I was rude and offended you. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again!"

Wang Lei panicked, and his voice trembled involuntarily.

Gao Huohuo then slowly walked up to him and whispered:

"Wang Lei, from the moment you chose that path, your life has been in my hands. Did you really think you could escape my control?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei's legs went weak and his voice trembled:

"My lord, I was blinded by greed and arrogance, and I was blind to the truth. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time!"

From now on, I will follow your lead without hesitation, even at the cost of my life!

Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Gao Huohuo nodded slightly and said:

"This is your last chance. If there is a next time, it won't be as simple as just being paralyzed all over."

"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you for your mercy, sir!"

Wang Lei felt like he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly agreed.

"If that's the case, then open your heart. I want to establish a master-servant contract with you. Of course, if you are unwilling, you are free to refuse."

Gao Huohuo calmly uttered these words.

Refuse? Wang Lei smiled bitterly to himself; he didn't have the guts!

At this moment, he had absolutely no choice.

Once the contract was concluded, Wang Lei felt the restraints around him loosen, and he finally regained his freedom of movement.

He glanced at Gao Huohuo with lingering fear and quickly asked:

"My lord, what is the purpose of summoning me here?"

"But whatever your command, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Gao Huohuo turned her gaze to Wang Lei and asked softly:

"What has the saintess been doing all year?"

Wang Lei quickly lowered his head and respectfully replied:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, since the incident at the Dark River, the Holy Maiden has been living in seclusion within the Glazed Tile Sect. It is said that she was secretly harmed and has been recuperating in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but sneer inwardly. How could a dignified saintess be so pathetic and fearful?

"You've been working for the Glazed Tile School for years. In your opinion, apart from the Holy Maiden, what are the character traits of the other members of the Glazed Tile School?"

Gao Huohuo changed the subject and asked again.

Wang Lei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then cautiously spoke:

“My lord, apart from a handful of people who are close to the Holy Maiden, most of the female cultivators in the Glazed Tile Sect are generally quite upright in their conduct.”

Gao Huohuo, who had originally intended to uphold justice and punish evildoers, slumped slightly upon hearing these words, his expression showing a hint of disappointment.

It seems that major sects truly possess profound foundations and strict rules.

Apart from a few individuals with impure motives, the vast majority of disciples are of upright character and have impeccable revolutionary credentials.

"If that's the case, why did the Glazed Tile School choose Chen Wanzhen as their Holy Maiden? Could it be that there was no one else in the sect who could be chosen?"

Gao Huohuo frowned slightly, her tone full of doubt.

Wang Lei bowed slightly and explained:

"My lord, it is said that the Holy Maiden has extremely high talent."

Within the Glazed Tile Sect, she was renowned for her noble character and was deeply respected and loved by all cultivators.

"Hmph," Gao Huohuo snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "So it's because the elders and sect leader of the Glazed Tile Sect are blind."

"Fine, as long as the Glazed Tile School doesn't interfere in my affairs, I'll let them off the hook for now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei thought to himself that if someone else had said these words, it would have sounded like someone who was ignorant of their own limitations and arrogant.

But the way Gao Huohuo said it made people feel that she had the confidence and ability to make it a reality.

“Wang Lei,” Gao Huohuo’s voice interrupted his thoughts, “I’m giving you a task now: to thoroughly investigate the sects surrounding the Liuli Sect.”

Find someone who appears upright on the surface but secretly engages in all sorts of shady dealings, infiltrate their ranks, and take their place.

Of course, I will send someone to assist you. Don't choose any large sects above level three; small sects at level four or five will suffice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he asked another question with slight hesitation:

"My lord, when you say 'replacing' someone, do you mean making me the sect leader?"

Gao Huohuo glanced at him, a half-smile on his face: "Otherwise what? Do you expect me to become the sect leader?"

"No, no," Wang Lei waved his hands repeatedly in fright, "I understand."

The thought that he actually had a chance to become the leader of a sect filled Wang Lei with excitement and fervor.

Such a wonderful thing, who wouldn't be tempted by it?
