537: Chapter 537: The Address of the Gate of Life and Death 537: Chapter 537: The Address of the Gate of Life and Death But at this moment, there was no response from outside the door.

King Qinguang furrowed his brows, slightly angered as he shouted, “Where the hell is everyone?

Come here!”

“My lord,” the person replied respectfully.

“Where are the two who were on duty at the door?” King Qinguang asked.

“I don’t know, Sir, they were just here a moment ago,” the man shook his head.

“Go find them immediately,” King Qinguang huffed, “and once they’re found, take them directly to the Punishment Hall!”

“Yes,” the man nodded respectfully, thinking to himself that these two idiots hadn’t gone off to smoke together again, he had told them so many times not to go smoke together.

Then the man called out, and several figures appeared; after searching around, they failed to find any trace of the two, the man furrowed his brows and said, “Something’s not right, they wouldn’t have left if they were just smoking!”

With that, he waved his hand, and several men ran directly toward the direction of the cave entrance.

Jing Chuli, in her haste, hadn’t hidden the bodies well enough, and soon the two corpses were carried out from the underbrush.

“Go report to King Qinguang at once!”

A moment later, King Qinguang, with his hands behind his back and his face an ashen hue, coldly said, “Start checking immediately, who else is missing.”

“It’s Jing Chuli,” the person responsible for examining the bodies said indifferently.

From the wounds, it was a broken blade; within the Gate of Life and Death, only two people used broken blades, one was Hong Luan, who was presumably dead, and the other was Jing Chuli.

The death of the two under Jing Chuli’s weapon, and the report from the people who followed, confirmed this point; Jing Chuli had already left the Gate of Life and Death.

“They have only been dead a short while; she can’t have gone far,” the examiner said.

At this time, King Qinguang’s face revealed an irrepressible rage as he said in a cold voice, “Indeed, it’s her.

Chase her, she must be found and brought back to me.”

“During the previous purge of Hong Luan, I should have cleared out everyone close to her!”

He had just reported to the Vice Sect Leader that there was a traitor within the Gate of Life and Death and was preparing to assemble everyone for an interrogation, but now that step seemed unnecessary.

However, he had miscalculated one move; he hadn’t expected Jing Chuli to leave first, presumably because she felt that without the protection of Hong Luan, her days within the Gate of Life and Death would not be easy.

He just didn’t know how Jing Chuli had managed to collude with Qin Han!

Looking at his severed palm, Qin Han snorted coldly, “Wench!

Once I find you, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

In an instant, figures stirred within the Gate of Life and Death, simultaneously exiting the main gate.

For traitors, the Gate of Life and Death had always had but one principle!

The betrayer would always be hunted by the Gate of Life and Death.

Meanwhile, Jing Chuli’s figure had already appeared in a city where, under deliberate disguise, no one could recognize her, and she boldly entered the airport, then boarded a plane that took off much smoother than expected.

This was a preparation that Jing Chuli had made long in advance, as she traveled among many countries, with numerous faces at her disposal, a disguise able to alter her appearance completely.

Similarly, she also had several identification documents from various countries.

But just before boarding the international flight, Jing Chuli took out her phone and sent a text message: “Hong Luan, I’m leaving.

The Gate of Life and Death is behind Mount Hua!”

Afterward, she turned off the phone and threw it into a trash can.

When Hong Luan received the message and called back, all she got was the shutdown tone.

Previously, she hadn’t paid much attention to it, but now it proved to be useful, saving her life at a critical moment.

Those who went out to track Jing Chuli were scolded by King Qinguang as a bunch of useless cowards when they failed to find her!

“No matter what, we must find Jing Chuli, dead or alive,” King Qinguang said coldly.

“Go check around Qin Han in Zhongzhou, see if she has gone to find her master!”

King Qinguang’s rough judgment was correct, but the one thing he did not anticipate was that Hong Luan was not dead, and Jing Chuli did not continue to stay in the Dragon Nation but chose to go abroad.

He was deceived by the ol’ bait-and-switch from Qin Han, but he did not expect Jing Chuli to pull a stealth move on him!

Immediately afterwards, King Qinguang turned and left, arriving at the Vice Sect Leader’s room.

After entering the room, King Qinguang said in a deep voice, “Vice Sect Leader, I think it’s time we changed locations.”

“Oh?

Why?” the Vice Sect Leader asked, looking at King Qinguang with suspicion in his crafty and sinister eyes.

“Once Jing Chuli meets with her master, this place will inevitably be exposed.

Her master has been investigating the whereabouts of the Gate of Life and Death all this time,” King Qinguang said lightly.

“You’re saying she’s Qin Han’s person?” asked the Vice Sect Leader.

“Eight or nine out of ten!” King Qinguang said lightly.

“Haha, King Qinguang, losing an arm has frightened you out of your wits; would he dare to act recklessly in my Gate of Life and Death?” the Vice Sect Leader sneered coldly.

King Qinguang said respectfully, “Vice Sect Leader, that man is extremely mysterious and powerful.

I’m only considering all possibilities for safety.”

“No need.

I would actually like to see if he dares to come.

If he does, I’ll take his life and rid the Gate of Life and Death of a great nuisance.

All this turmoil over just a prescription, and we still haven’t gotten it.

Does the Gate of Life and Death now have to make way for him?” the Vice Sect Leader sneered coldly.

Upon hearing this, King Qinguang bowed his head in silence, inwardly cursing: Idiot!

“You are in charge of the Jing Chuli matter.

Our Gate of Life and Death does not tolerate traitors.

We need to see her alive or see her corpse!” The Vice Sect Leader said coldly.

“Hong Luan will undoubtedly die from the injuries inflicted by the seventh elder, but we must see Jing Chuli’s body!”

“Yes,” King Qinguang said, nodding respectfully before turning to leave.

Jing Chuli’s plan was simple—taking advantage of this opportunity, she created a perfect distraction, leading the people of the Gate of Life and Death to believe she would seek out Hong Luan.

As for Hong Luan, she did not feel she had wronged her—she did not mention the intelligence after Hong Luan left the Gate of Life and Death, but telling her the location of the Gate of Life and Death this time was repayment for Hong Luan’s previous care within the organization!

At the dinner table, Qin Han didn’t speak, looking at Tang Liuyu and quietly waiting for what would come next.

After a long while, Tang Liuyu sighed and said, “I originally thought that I would never mention the matter of the heart-devouring gu in my lifetime, yet I never expected that Mr.

Qin would come this time specifically for the heart-devouring gu.”

“Master Tang, Miss Ding’s great-grandfather was poisoned with the heart-devouring gu.

I understand that there’s no cure for it, that only the person who cast the spell can lift it.

But it’s not easy in the vast Miao territory.

I just thought to ask the old master, yet I never expected you to know,” Qin Han said lightly.

“How did he come in contact with the gu?

Was it through a person or an object?” Tang Liuyu asked, lifting his head with a grim face.

Qin Han and Ding Pulan exchanged glances, both sighing inwardly, recognizing the unpredictability of events: where one intentionally plants flowers they might not bloom, yet willows planted without intent might thrive.

They had thought that Wang Pingchuan’s master, who traveled far and wide, would likely know, yet it turned out that the person who truly knew was Tang Liuyu.

“It was an object, a piece of paper!” Qin Han said lightly.

“And Ding Pulan has also been poisoned by the gu!”

As soon as Qin Han finished speaking, Tang Liuyu suddenly seized Ding Pulan’s wrist.

Ding Pulan cried out in surprise, a pang of pain shooting through her wrist, and she looked to Qin Han for help.

But before Qin Han could say anything, Tang Liuyu had already released Ding Pulan’s wrist and sighed,

“Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

After twenty years, the heart-devouring gu appears once again!”

“And it’s still…

still…”
