Chapter 2231 Super Unlucky
Fifteen minutes ago.
Anyi Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Guan Zhaotang had been inside his residence, attempting to break through to the level-14 spiritual realm.
However, just as he was at the critical juncture of his cultivation, he got bitten by the watchdog he had personally nurtured.
Guan Zhaotang truly did not expect Qi Lianhai to backstab him.
!!
That strike did not hit his vitals, and the energy current around him even sent Qi Lianhai’s saber flying.
However, this interruption caused the spiritual energy in his body to diverge.
Unluckily for Guan Zhaotang, this caused him to instantly enter vital energy deviation. His spiritual energy ran amok, and his orifices all bled at once.
Just as he struggled with all his might to suppress his rampaging spiritual energy, that d*mned Qi Lianhai actually stabbed him in the back again.
Just as Guan Zhaotang turned around, he felt two cold lights fly into his eyes. He reflexively howled and started striking blindly.
One of his. .h.i.ts landed on Qi Lianhai and sent the latter flying.
Even though Guan Zhaotang could not see, he could still utilize his spiritual conscious.
Therefore, he swifty lunged over without another word and finished Qi Lianhai off with his sword.
By this time, Guan Zhaotang’s eyes had become a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. He was agitated since he suspected that he would most likely lose his sight.
Head Steward Hu braced himself and asked, “Pre-Prefecture Lord, th-the Tower of Wondrous Treasures has been looted…”
“Ah!” Anger consumed Guan Zhaotang, and he struck out at Head Steward Hu at once.
He turned around with disheveled hair, and he glowered at Head Steward Hu with bloodied eyes.
Head Steward Hu jolted from fright. He made an effort to get up from the ground and scrambled to Guan Zhaotang’s feet. He wept, “Sir Prefecture Lord, there truly is something fishy about this incident! We subordinates conducted multiple searches outside the Tower of Wondrous Treasures, but we did not find a single trace! Yet, yet all the items inside the Tower of Wondrous Treasures have, have actually vanished!”
Guan Zhaotang sent Head Steward Hu tumbling with a kick to the latter’s back.
“Ah, ahh!!” Guan Zhaotang was agitated and furious. He made large strides forward before suddenly stopping and rapidly returning to Qi Lianhai’s side.
Guan Zhaotang lifted up Qi Lianhai’s corpse and examined it with his spiritual conscious.
Upon checking, his body shook fiercely for a while.
It turned out that Qi Lianhai’s body had already corroded from poison. No wonder he could not retaliate after getting struck several times.
Who? Who was controlling Qi Lianhai from the shadows?
“Prefecture, Prefecture Lord.” Head Steward Hu called out to him with fear and trepidation.
“My lord, are you alright? You really did scare me to death just now… ah.” Madam Hua had wanted to come over and console Guan Zhaotang, yet Guan Zhaotang was not in the mood to flirt with her. He pushed Madam Hua to the floor without even sparing a glance. Guan Zhaotang quickly led Head Steward Hu and the rest toward the Tower of Wondrous Treasures.
He turned a deaf ear to Madam Hua calling out to him from behind.
Guan Zhaotang “looked” back and forth with a contorted expression. He hurried to the Tower of Wondrous Treasures’s entrance with Head Steward Hu and company.
Head Steward Hu looked up at the blackened Tower of Wondrous Treasures, and fearfully stole a glance at his lord Guan Zhaotang.
At this time, Guan Zhaotang did not talk to him and directly walked into the Tower of Wondrous Treasures.
Using his spiritual conscious the entire way was exhausting Guan Zhaotang’s mental energy.
