Chapter 2340 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Forty)

Quan Chumeng asked, “Elder Nie, were you in this underground room before?”

He clearly knew that Nie Huihao had not been in the basement for a long time, but he did not want Nie Huihao to think that he had known it for a long time. Because if that happened, Nie Huihao might doubt that he had stopped performing the ritual for a long time, and might doubt whether what he said before was true.

However, Nie Huihou asked: “Don’t you know?”

Quan Chumeng immediately said, “I was in a hurry to perform the ritual, so I naturally didn’t care too much.”

“How could you perform this ritual for so long? You didn’t even pause in between?” Nie Huihou looked at him with a puzzled look.

Quan Chu thought: I can’t tell Elder Nie that I didn’t pause. It was such a long time. Who would believe me if I said I didn’t pause? I have to say that the pause time is very short. This way it will be credible and will not cause Elder Nie to doubt whether the anxious method I mentioned before is true.

“Of course I paused, and I paused more than once. I saw that Elder Nie was not in front of me, and I didn’t know if Elder Nie was behind me. I called Elder Nie, but I didn’t hear his voice. The basement was so dark, and I didn’t light more candles. I didn’t know if Elder Nie was practicing some kind of martial arts attentively or fell asleep in a place where I couldn’t see him. I didn’t dare to call him again, so as not to disturb Elder Nie.” Quan Chumeng said, “Since I didn’t know what Elder Nie was doing, and I was anxious to perform a ritual to find out what happened in Muxi Pavilion as soon as possible, I immediately continued the ritual.”

After saying this, Quan Chumeng stood up and said to Nie Huihou: “I am back to normal now.”

The two men exchanged a few more words, and then Nie Huihou let Quan Chumeng leave the basement first.

Nie Huihou took a candle and shone it on the candles on the ground that he had stepped on. After picking them up, he took something out of his bag and wrapped them up, preparing to throw them away after he went out.

Before leaving the underground room, Nie Huihou thought about what happened during the time he was not in the underground room, and found it incredible. [Chapter 242]

Before this, when Quan was performing the ritual, Nie Huihou left the basement without saying a word to him.

He did not return to Zonghuang Palace.

He has something to do and it would be best to do it that day.

After finishing his work, he saw Le Yu walking with a few other people from afar on his way back to the basement.

When he saw Le Yu, he recalled what happened in the past with Nie Yangwei, and also recalled how he had tried to punish her but failed every time. He was filled with hatred and wanted to know what she was doing to see if there was a chance to secretly cause trouble for her to vent his dissatisfaction with her.

Since Nie Yangwei passed away, Nie Huihou, who was always impulsive, sometimes became confused and more likely to do things impulsively.

At this moment, he had a sudden impulse and without thinking much, he immediately followed Le Yu and his group for a while. He did not find anything unusual about Le Yu. He felt that it would not be easy to cause trouble for Le Yu at this time.

At this time, his mind became clearer. He quickly thought of Quan Chumeng in the basement and thought: Forget it! Although I get angry when I see Le Yu, I don’t have to choose this time to punish her. Quan Chumeng is still in the basement. I wonder if he has found out what happened to Muxi Pavilion. What if I can practice while he is performing the ritual and increase my power quickly? Practicing is important. Don’t delay it!
