Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 195: Curse Investigation (22)

Elder Cai...

Upon hearing these three words, Chen An's emotions fluctuated, and his gaze towards the man walking in from outside the door turned cold.

He didn't say anything, just silently sizing up the man's appearance, while also using his clairvoyance to peek at the man's name and cultivation level.

[Cai Xu: Ninth level of Gold Core]

"Qingyi, is this the husband of the alchemy hall stewardess that you always talk about? He seems to be a bit inferior compared to me."

Cai Xu walked in and saw Chen An holding Shen Qingyi's hand, and couldn't help but mock in a soft and feminine voice.

Chen An didn't want to conflict with him, so as not to be suspected when he was cursed later. He pulled Shen Qingyi's hand and walked away from him.

Cai Xu didn't stop the couple, but rather smiled ambiguously and said to Chen An, "Fellow Daoist Chen, your wife exudes a heroic and chivalrous aura that suits my taste. As long as you are willing to give her to me, I can help you become an elder of the alchemy hall within thirty years."

"Of course, if you don't want to, I can always put in some effort to snatch her away in the future. By then, I will thank you in a special way and make you regret not willingly giving your wife to me."

...

Chen An didn't respond and silently flew away with Shen Qingyi.

Judging from Cai Xu's arrogant attitude just now, the power of the Nine Elders in the Heaven and Earth Sect was far more formidable than imagined.

They could even openly snatch someone else's wife.

They weren't afraid of chilling the hearts of the disciples in the sect.

They weren't afraid of being held accountable by the sect master afterwards.

The power of these Nine Elders could be seen, even more exaggerated than the emperors in the secular world.

After a while, they returned to the Cave Mansion.

Shen Qingyi pulled Chen An into the room and asked with a worried expression, "Husband, if things don't work out, should we leave the Heaven and Earth Sect as a family?"

She was frightened by what Cai Xu said to her in the law enforcement hall just now.

For the sake of their family, she chose to leave the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Chen An calmly said to her, "It's not a big problem, don't worry. I will handle this matter properly. However, in the future, you may not be able to pursue your ideals in the law enforcement hall for a long time."

"Husband, the law enforcement hall of the Heaven and Earth Sect is rotten to the core, I disdain to go there."

"That's true, but it's alright. After I uproot the law enforcement hall in the future, I will let you become an elder of the law enforcement hall."

"Well, I believe in you, husband."

Shen Qingyi didn't know if she truly believed or pretended to believe, but at this moment, her gaze towards Chen An was full of trust, mixed with a hint of increasingly strong affection.

As a man and a woman living together, Chen An felt that things were progressing quickly.

He didn't think too much and carried Shen Qingyi to the bed, deepening their marital bond.

...

Days passed one by one.

Chen An had been enduring without taking action against Cai Xu, but he secretly investigated his information every day.

He knew that someone like Cai Xu, who looked down on others, must have frequently offended people and had conflicts with them.

And now, he was waiting for an opportunity for Cai Xu to have a fierce conflict with someone else, and then he would use the Book of Curses to curse Cai Xu, not only to retaliate against him, but also to divert suspicion and minimize his own suspicion.

And so, over a month passed.

One night, Chen An finally got such an opportunity.

Cai Xu had a conflict with an elder of the law enforcement hall.

The elder of the law enforcement hall was on the side of the sect master and had long endured Cai Xu. That night, because Cai Xu publicly humiliated him, he couldn't hold back and directly attacked Cai Xu.

Afterwards, Sect Master Xiao Qingyue and Cai Xu's birth mother arrived, and the matter was temporarily resolved.

Although the matter was temporarily resolved, the conflict between Cai Xu and the elder of the law enforcement hall became deeper.

Cai Xu wanted to use his father's power to bring down the current elder of the law enforcement hall and become the elder himself.

However, the current elder of the law enforcement hall relied on the support of the sect master, and with the other eight elders not willing to watch the power of the Nine Elders grow, he wasn't very afraid of Cai Xu.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

Everything was silent.

Chen An prepared his emotions for a while, feeling that it was almost time, and then he took out the Book of Curses and started cursing from a distance.

"Cai Xu..."

"Cai Xu..."

"Cai Xu..."

Chen An was thinking about Cai Xu's appearance deep in his mind, murmuring his name.

He cursed him for more than an hour.

Then, a prompt message suddenly appeared in front of him.

[You have successfully cursed Cai Xu, causing him to have a sudden massive leakage of essence while having intercourse with a gender-neutral female cultivator in the Hehuan Building. His body was instantly emptied, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious on the female cultivator in the Hehuan Building. His soul was severely damaged, and his cultivation level dropped to the Gold Core stage.]

"So powerful?"

Chen An looked at the prompt message that popped up in front of him, his face full of surprise.

In the following days, he continued to pay attention to news about Cai Xu.

Almost every day, he heard the same news that Cai Xu was lying unconscious in bed, resembling a vegetable from his past life.

During these days, the Ninth Elder's family was in chaos.

Chen An felt great satisfaction.

But he could only enjoy it secretly, without making it known.

...

Three days later.

In Shen Qingyi's room.

Chen An finished plowing the land and lay on the bed, holding Shen Qingyi in his arms, enjoying this moment of tranquility after the storm.

Shen Qingyi nestled in his embrace and after some thought, she asked, "Husband, is it your doing that Cai Xu suddenly fell unconscious and hasn't woken up until now?"

"What makes you say that?"

"I didn't say much, maybe it's the sixth sense of a woman, but I always feel that this matter is related to you."

"You're thinking too much. In the past month, besides satisfying you sisters, I spent most of my time refining pills. I don't have the time to deal with Cai Xu."

Chen An didn't admit that he was the one behind it.

He felt that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Not because he was worried that Shen Qingyi would let it slip, but because he was afraid that one day the people from the Ninth Elder's family would investigate and use certain secret methods to interrogate or search their souls.

Chen An had strong mental power and could resist most spells, so he wasn't worried about it.

But Shen Qingyi couldn't.

...

At the same time.

In front of the Grotto-Heaven entrance of the Ninth Elder's family.

A woman with outstanding beauty knelt in front of an ancient stone door covered in runes, her voice filled with pleading, "Husband, our son is about to die. Please come out of seclusion early and save his life!"

This was already her twenty-seventh day of kneeling.

However, there was still no response from inside the stone door.

Just as the woman was despairingly getting up to leave.

A sigh came from inside the stone door.

Then, the door opened.

In the next moment, a man who appeared to be only in his forties or fifties but had actually lived for thousands of years, slowly walked out of the stone door.

He was the Ninth Elder of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Cai Ziyin.

Seeing her husband, who possessed vast divine abilities, come out, the woman burst into tears of joy and hurriedly said, "Husband, please save our son, he's on the verge of death!"

"Why are you crying!" Cai Ziyin glared at the woman fiercely, angrily saying, "That useless bastard who can only cause trouble for me, if he can't make it, he might as well die early and be reincarnated!"

He scolded, but after all, it was his own son.

Soon, Cai Ziyin went to the room where Cai Xu was and checked his son's condition.

As soon as he checked, his brows furrowed, and he angrily said, "How dare he!"

"Who is the idiot who dares to secretly curse the descendants of my Cai family!"

"I will find you and flay you alive!"

Although Cai Ziyin looked down on his useless son, he was still a person who protected his own. Discovering that someone dared to hide behind and use curses to harm his son, he, who was used to being domineering, couldn't tolerate it and immediately used secret techniques to trace the person behind the curse.
