Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1998

"metropolitan!"

Everyone present was taken aback.

The three awakened elders looked reproachfully at the Fifth Elder, but ultimately said nothing in accusation.

This day was a devastating blow to the Star Devouring Sect.

Not only did they offend the Great Black Buddha Mother, but they also lost so many pills. More importantly, they even lost Yi Jun's Bone, which was a crucial support for the Star Devouring Sect's strength to this day.

Without Yi Jun's bone, the Star Devouring Sect's strength will be greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to maintain their position among the top sects of the Great Black Heaven.

Three days later, Mo Chen, who had been unconscious for so long, finally woke up.

Upon waking, he immediately summoned the Fifth Elder and questioned him:

"Wasn't the Tenth Elder always guarding the alchemy room? How could he have allowed someone to steal the pills of my Star Devouring Sect?"

Mo Chen naturally knew that the Tenth Elder was guarding the alchemy room.

He stayed there to find out who killed his nephew, and with him there, Mo Chen felt more at ease.

Even so, the pills were still stolen by the thieves, which made Mo Chen feel heartbroken.

After hesitating for a moment, the Fifth Elder said:

"Sect Master, on the night the pills were lost, the token of the Tenth Elder in the Elder Hall suddenly shattered. He was very likely also killed by that scoundrel."

hiss~

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen, whose body was already weak, almost fainted again.

He forced himself to sit up, his icy voice echoing throughout the entire hall.

"Investigate! Find out exactly who has the audacity to do this!"

"He killed my elder and seized the foundation of my Star Devouring Sect that has stood for thousands of years. I, Mo Chen, am irreconcilably opposed to him!"

This was the first time the Fifth Elder had ever seen the Sect Master lose his temper like this. He dared not linger there and carefully left after receiving his orders.

Inside the main hall, Mo Chen had already stood up.

He paced back and forth in the empty hall, and finally spat out another mouthful of blood, his entire state extremely weak.

From this day forward, the entire Star Devouring Sect was plunged into an even more somber atmosphere.

All disciples were questioned, and every corner of the Star Devouring Sect was thoroughly searched.

Li Lan, who was directly involved, didn't care at all.

No matter how they search, as long as they don't actively expose themselves, they won't be discovered.

However, he also has a rather troublesome matter to deal with right now.

Because of the deep relationship between Yi Junzhi and Xiao Rong, she was subjected to the most severe questioning by Mo Chen.

Xiao Rong was imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the Star Devouring Sect as a result, and she probably won't be released until the truth of the theft is found out.

Fortunately, Li Lan did not act in his original identity that day, but instead transformed into the appearance and aura of a follower of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

This way, Xiao Rong was spared much suspicion, and her soul was not searched by Mo Chen.

Li Lan knew that Mo Chen had a trace of Xiao Rong's soul imprint in his hands, so he needed a suitable opportunity to rescue her.

If Mo Chen discovers that she has escaped, it will only arouse his greater suspicion, and he might even execute Xiao Rong directly, which is an outcome that Li Lan does not want to see.

Li Lan can only think of two solutions right now.

One option is to take direct action, kill Mo Chen first, and then rescue Xiao Rong.

Once Mo Chen is killed, Xiao Rong's wisp of soul imprint will detach on its own and return to Xiao Rong's body.

However, Mo Chen is currently in a weak state, and there are quite a few experts protecting him.

Li Lan had previously investigated carefully and discovered that there were not only three elders guarding Mo Chen's side, but also two clan elders at the quasi-god level.

Therefore, it is clear that assassinating Mo Chen is extremely risky and could very well lead to the worst-case scenario.

The other method, while relatively safer, is more extreme and involves an element of luck.
