CHAPTER 592: CHAPTER 208: THE DECLINE OF SOCIAL MORALS, OH HOW THE WORLD’S MORALS HAVE DECLINED (6K)_4

Just as he was feeling agitated, a guard disciple’s report suddenly came from outside.

Luo Hou lifted his head abruptly, a hint of suspicion flashing across his originally grim face, and countless thoughts instantly flooded his mind: "Someone wants to see me? And there’s an Imaging Stone? Could it be footage of the transaction?"

His heart tightened suddenly. After all, the people sent for the transaction were trusted confidants he had secretly trained for many years. They operated extremely discreetly and had almost never appeared in public. Even if they were captured on film, no one should be able to recognize them.

Perhaps, there will be clues about that man in white.

"Let him in!" Upon thinking this, Luo Hou tidied his clothes, attempting to appear more composed, then strode to the main seat and sat down, his gaze fixed tightly on the great hall’s entrance.

However, after a brief wait, the reporting disciple returned.

"Elder, I went out just now and found that the person had already left, leaving the Imaging Stone behind!"

As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the Imaging Stone.

Luo Hou, puzzled, summoned the Imaging Stone, causing it to fall into his hand.

Upon injecting Spiritual Power to activate it, familiar scenes instantly appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the images inside, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, his eyes filled with terror and anger. The Imaging Stone nearly slipped from his grasp.

Upon hearing the unbearable sounds, the disciple kneeling on the ground instinctively lifted his head slightly. Though he couldn’t see anything clearly, he immediately lowered his head in fear.

Luo Hou abruptly glared at him, his eyes seeming to spit fire, and shouted angrily, "What does that person look like? What’s his cultivation level?"

He stood up abruptly, his heart pounding, and his eyes sharp like a hawk’s, staring directly at the reporting disciple.

The disciple trembled in fright and hurriedly said, "Very young, quite handsome, cultivation level unknown..."

"Swish!" Before the disciple finished speaking, Luo Hou’s figure swiftly appeared before him like a ghost, a finger pointing at his forehead, immediately initiating a Soul Search.

Soon, he saw Zhou Qing’s appearance in the disciple’s memory.

"Damn it!" Luo Hou cursed, and a terrifying ghostly shadow suddenly appeared behind him, instantly drilling into the disciple’s body. Amidst a bloodcurdling scream, the disciple was reduced to a skeleton.

Without saying a word, Luo Hou immediately dashed towards the mountain gate.

"Which direction did the young man leave from?" Luo Hou’s face was panicked, his voice carrying a hint of uncontrollable urgency.

The guard disciple pointed to the western direction. Just before Luo Hou set off in pursuit, he caught the sight of another disciple beside him, his face pale and trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Luo Hou’s eyes narrowed, he turned around, his cold gaze like a sharp blade piercing the disciple, and he said icily, "That young man handed you the Imaging Stone just now?"

"Y-Yes, Elder." The guard disciple’s voice trembled, beads of sweat rolling down continuously.

"Did you watch it?"

"N-No..."

Before he could finish, Luo Hou slapped him, instantly reducing him to a bloody pulp. Such a bloody scene made the other disciples’ expressions immediately tense.

Luo Hou’s cold gaze swept over the faces of the others, confirming that there was nothing unusual before he turned and left.

Were it not for the two late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm elders guarding the barrier behind them, none of these people would have survived to completely cover up the secrets.

Within less than half an incense stick’s time, following the trail marked along the way, Luo Hou quickly closed in on Zhou Qing, who was fleeing swiftly ahead.

Instantly, his expression turned murderous, his Spiritual Power surged, and he suddenly accelerated.

Zhou Qing turned his head and saw the other’s cold, piercing gaze, as if being stared at by a venomous snake. His heart tightened, and he quickly sped up.

"After all these years, still only at late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm, looks like the path ahead will truly be difficult!"

Zhou Qing sighed and hurriedly fled.
