Looking at the snow-white strand of hair in his hand, its texture smooth like silk, glistening faintly under the sunlight... Chen Mo could almost instantly discern that it was the hair of that white-haired girl, Ye Henshui!
"No wonder I didn’t see Ye Henshui at the Imperial Music Bureau last time. I thought she was too shy to show up. So something happened to her?"
"It seems this incident in Linglan County is indeed aimed at me..."
Chen Mo’s eyes darkened slightly.
He had many confidantes, yet they specifically chose someone he barely knew, indicating they didn’t know him well. It basically ruled out the Princely Heir as the culprit.
That left only the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan would deal with him for only two reasons—
Either for Dragon Qi, or for You Ji!
At this moment, a figure flew from the city, it was a disciple of the Kuixing Sect stationed at the medical center.
"Mr. Chen, something else happened!"
As soon as the person landed, he said anxiously, "Those civilians you cured earlier have suddenly started aging rapidly again, and this time aging even faster than before! Judging by the looks of it, they probably won’t hold on much longer!"
"How is that possible?!"
"Didn’t Mr. Chen already cure them all!"
Qin Yi and the others exclaimed in shock.
Chen Mo was already expecting this, and said, "I didn’t sense any Demon Energy in them, indicating it’s not as simple as demonic possession. It should be a curse."
"Unless we can find the caster, restoring vitality is pointless."
Ling Ningzhi frowned and said, "But where do we find this caster?"
Chen Mo smirked coldly and said, "Since they’re targeting me, they will naturally guide me."
Shhh—
Just as he finished speaking, the white hair in his hand spontaneously combusted.
With the flickering flames, wisps of blue smoke rose, swirling briefly in the air before drifting toward the upper reaches of the Canglan River.
Ling Ningzhi’s heart tightened at this sight.
Were they actually being monitored the entire time?!
"This matter involves the Demon Clan, it might be dangerous. Maybe I should inform Uncle Yuan first?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The adversary is obviously well-prepared. If we report back to the Capital, those civilians and Ye Henshui might not survive."
Perhaps fearing Ye Henshui’s influence was insufficient, they involved the civilians of Linglan County as well.
Causing dozens of lives to vanish without a trace is a testament to their sinister means... it’s both an intimidation and a warning that if I don’t cooperate, it won’t just be dozens of people.
Perhaps the entire Linglan County would be nearly empty!
Ling Ningzhi’s brows furrowed deeper, "So what should we do now?"
Chen Mo said, "Since they’re targeting me, only I can resolve this... You all stay here, I’ll follow and see what they’re up to."
Ling Ningzhi said with determination, "I’ll go with you, at least we can watch each other’s back."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone!"
