Chapter 742 - Sitting Oblivion Dao
Li Huowang perked up when Liu Wan talked about the person at the peak of Sitting Oblivion Dao. “Please tell me how he became Shai Zi.”
“He became one by ruining an entire small nation. Shai Zi is amazing—he deceived an entire nation!” Liu Wan longed for the day he could do the same.
Since he tricked the Liang Kingdom, he might actually have had the chance to replace Doulao.
While thinking about it, Liu Wan reached a large estate. “This is the place.”
“How should we trick them?” Li Huowang was nervous.
Liu Wan looked at Li Huowang’s Daoist robes and smiled. Liu Wan changed his appearance to that of an old Daoist before chuckling and entering the estate. “Just react accordingly.”
The gardener tried to stop Liu Wan, but he ignored him. Instead, Liu Wan maintained an expression of worry. “Your lady has been possessed today. Do not block the way if you want her to live. Show me the way.”
The gardener was shocked and didn’t understand how the person before him knew about this.
“Stand aside! How dare you try to delay the mission of the Surveillance Bureau?!” Liu Wan pushed the gardener away. Unknown forces pinned the gardener to the wall.
Liu Wan then brought Li Huowang into the depths of the estate. They arrived safely, but they couldn't be certain that Liu Wan's fake identity as a member of the Surveillance Bureau had truly deceived them.
They had just entered the inner courtyard when they saw a room plastered with talismans and a crowd outside of it.
“Move away!” Liu Wan pushed through the crowd.
Li Huowang had barely managed to push past the crowd when he saw a young lady tied up in her bed. She was trembling a lot.
The people in the room seemed to be her family, looking at her with concern.
“Oh no! An evil entity has invaded her heart!” Liu Wan rushed to the side of the bed as he took out a strange bell. The end of the bell was a fork instead of a regular handle. He rang it wildly.
“Everyone, please don’t be afraid. We are from the Surveillance Bureau. Your beloved will be cured soon.” Li Huowang made the entire situation look even more realistic.
No one dared to ask Li Huowang any questions, fearing that it might distract him from his intense focus and put their daughter's life at risk.
“Patriarch! Patriarch! Bad news!” The gardener from before ran into the inner courtyard.
“Patriarch! The old Daoist ran out of the city! He cut off the red threads on the lady’s hair before he ran away. We couldn’t stop him even on horseback since he ran into the woods!”
“What?!” The patriarch was shocked, and his wife even fainted. Everyone suddenly glared at Li Huowang, who was holding the pagoda down.
As he looked at them staring at him, Li Huowang gently lifted the pagoda and found nothing inside.
Li Huowang realized he had been deceived! Liu Wan had never intended to work with him!
This was a trap set for Li Huowang. Liu Wan left him behind to prevent them from chasing after him! Li Huowang was just a tool.
Li Huowang smiled calmly as he stared at the people surrounding him. “Don’t worry.”
He then tore off his face and revealed the lady’s face.
Everyone fainted when they saw the lady’s face in front of them.
Liu Wan was already fifty Li away from the city when he laughed. Tears poured out of his eyes as he recalled how he had deceived Li Huowang.
“Brat, remember that the Sitting Oblivion Dao has no junior or senior relationships in your next life! Our only rule is to deceive others! Serves you right for getting deceived by me!”
“Senior Liu Wan, the lady is just a Curved One. Is there any reason to be that happy?” Li Huowang’s voice suddenly came from below his chin.
“Huh?” Liu Wan thought he was holding the lady when a stabbing pain blossomed in his chest.
Liu Wan threw the lady onto the ground. He looked down and saw a metal rod had been stabbed through his body.
He raised his head and was shocked to see the lady tearing off her face to reveal Li Huowang’s face instead!
