Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 645: She Ain’t The One.

"The reason I am telling you all this is because I believe that you are innocent, and you are also being used as a scapegoat for all these murders by one of the unorthodox factions."

"An Unorthodox Sect?" Gu Chen mumbled in shock. He knew about the unorthodox faction. The sects who have no qualm with committing evil to have their way.

They were also called evil sects who did everything and committed all kinds of sins just so they could grow stronger. Even though the Evil Sects were not bold enough to act in the open, they did several nefarious deeds in the shadows.

Drinking or bathing in blood.

Killing left and right whoever gets in their way or opposes them.

Using the lives of those weaker than them as livestock.

Murdering babies to increase their power.

Those from the unorthodox faction do all of these kinds of things and promote them for others in their sect.

They feel the effects of the instant rise in their cultivations using such vile methods so alluring that their sense of morals and the bottom line became so faded with time that they stopped existing.

Such people live for themselves and themselves alone.

But not everyone thinks the same way. Those from the righteous faction despise such thinking and hunt those who are from the unorthodox sect to bring peace to the world.

The illusionary Lotus Sect was one of the sects in the righteous faction.

The fact someone from the demonic sect would try to frame a subsidiary of the righteous faction to commit such a sin made him realize that they were growing stronger and bolder with time.

"They have grown some balls to dare frame me!" Gu Chen scowled, "But I wonder, why me?

They could have just kept everything a secret in some remote place where no one was looking…

And where did they get the resources to get a Rank 6 Array formation?"

There was nothing that he could think of that would tie him to the murders. Why would he need something like a soul-extracting array, especially made of mortal souls?

What would he even use it for?

"We should go down there and free the innocent souls from their sufferings. Every moment we spend here, the more they suffer." Noah reminded him softly and stood up from his seat.

The others also stood up, and Gu Chen nodded seriously, "Even though I want to help, I don't know where these souls are kept. I don't even know that there is a place to hold someone below my house, let alone know souls were trapped in there." freёnovelkiss.com

"No need to worry about that." Noah turned to leave the room. "I have already found the location of the secret room."

"They used a powerful talisman to conceal the entrance."

When the four of them walked out of the room and stepped into the open courtyard, the guards stationed outside raised their weapons and surrounded the place.

Some of them were even standing on top of the building to cut off any routes to escape.

"Stand down!" Only after seeing them did Gu Chen recall his previous plan. Take a deep breath, he ordered coldly. The guards lowered their weapons without any hesitation.

"Return to your stations. These two are now the guests of the Gu family!" The guards bowed in acknowledgment before leaving the area at once.

"Please lead the way to the secret dungeon, senior." Turning to Noah, the city lord made a small gesture with his hand.

With Noah and Xin Yan leading the group, they made their way deeper into the mansion.

'Did you find anything?' Xin Yan secretly started conversing with Noah, 'I also noticed the souls underground, but I also sensed something else beyond the souls.'

'Yes, their plan runs deeper than they were letting on on the surface. There is one contingency plan after the othe'r.

'You mean?' Her eyes widened in shock.

'Yes, they used the array to extract the souls only to form a protective barrier around what they really wanted. Even a foundation-level cultivator is helpless before the souls of such numbers unless they have a proper way or Yang skill to counter the sou'l.

'This is just… cruel.' Her hands clenched into a fist just thinking about the dark fate the innocent kids and the people who were killed had to bear for no reason just because someone felt like using them.

"Are we going in the right direction?" Gu Chen suddenly spoke when they entered the innermost courtyard with a pathway surrounding a beautiful garden that was well maintained.

"Why do you ask?" Noah nodded quizzically, looking over his shoulder. It's right around the corner.

Gu Chen did not say anything until they stopped before a two-way opening door with intricate patterns and gold engravings.

Even Gu Ren looked at the gate like a deer looking at the headlight.

"This is Father's and Mother's room." He muttered shakily. 'This is bad? Did he really do it? I never knew my father was such a badass.'

While Gu Ren was jumping inwardly, Gu Chen looked at the room with a complex look on his face.

Noah did not say anything and opened the door after giving him one last look.

Stepping into a luxurious and elegant-looking room, Noah asked. "Where is your wife, city lord?"

Gu Chen lowered his head in dismay while his son looked around in confusion for a while before his eyes widened and his mouth went agape in realization.

'No way? My mother? Isn't she…? He almost blurted it out but forced himself to stay away from getting Noah's attention.

Just when Xin Yan thought he was about to confess something, the city lord went and said something that made her and Noah frown in doubt and confusion.

"Senior…" Gu Chen muttered with a complicated look in his eyes. "My wife had passed away a year ago. She was ambushed by bandits on her way back from her mother's home and was… killed along with the rest of the guards protecting her."
