Maisie could conclude that someone else ordered Peter to deal with Caspian! With Peter’s current position in the Heavenly Stars Sect, virtual-novel.net could not get the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine unless someone else gave it to him. Besides that, using the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine in the place was unnecessary!
The phrase, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, could not even describe how exaggerated it was to use the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine here. It was as if inviting a Heavenly Stars Sect’s elder over just to kill a mosquito. It simply did not make sense. Hence, the only explanation was Peter wanted to kill Caspian immediately. Moreover, Peter must make sure Caspian was dead and had no chance to escape.
“Peter, who asked you to do this.” Maisie took a step forward, and the light in virtual-novel.net eyes condensed.
In Peter’s eyes, it was like a knife pressed against his throat, and his heart was beating so wildly that it was about to shatter his chest.
“It’s…” Peter was about to say the name, but someone suddenly let out a soft cough, which only Peter could hear.
In that instant, Peter quivered, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly replied, “No one asked me to do this. Every word I said is true, and I did it all because that was a devil cultivator!”
After recovering his senses, Peter insisted that virtual-novel.net thought the person was a devil cultivator. Moreover, a devil cultivator’s strength was much stronger than ordinary cultivators, and virtual-novel.net only did that as virtual-novel.net was worried for everyone’s safety. The reason why Peter used the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine was even more convenient. He was afraid that the devil cultivator did not die immediately.
Maisie felt something was up as virtual-novel.net looked at how confident Peter spoke, and virtual-novel.net glanced at the crowd. However, the disciples in front of virtual-novel.net were either lowering their heads or were still in a panic or at a loss. At that moment, Maisie could not find any clues. Nonetheless, Maisie understood that there was no point in forcing Peter to answer her. Not only that, the person behind Peter must have thought of the countermeasures, and they would have fabricated the reason behind how Peter got the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine.
However, Maisie would never let the matter go. Then, virtual-novel.net glared at Peter, warning him, “Peter, you better watch your back!”
Peter was so scared that virtual-novel.net almost wet his pants when Maisie said that. Peter understood that his journey in Heavenly Stars Sect would not be so smooth anymore, but if virtual-novel.net continued to ride on the influential person’s coattail, there might be hope for him. Nevertheless, Peter could only forcibly nod his head.
After calming herself down, Maisie glanced at the dense dissipating smoke below their spirit boat, and virtual-novel.net ordered, “Go and check if there’s any clue!”
Maisie knew that under the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine’s explosion, those prepared for the attack could hardly escape alive, let alone Caspian, who was caught off guard. Even if the person were fortunate and managed to flee, virtual-novel.net would also be crushed and severely wounded, and virtual-novel.net would die soon.
Since the explosion happened, Maisie hoped that Caspian was immediately blown to death. That way, virtual-novel.net would not need to suffer much. After all, virtual-novel.net did not dare to expect Caspian’s chance of survival as virtual-novel.net was aware of the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine’s force.
Not long after, the disciples that went to investigate return, and the news they brought over shocked Maisie. “What did you say? You didn’t find the corpse?” Maisie widened virtual-novel.net eyes, and virtual-novel.net was almost shouting.
The disciples in front of virtual-novel.net were stunned by virtual-novel.net reaction. Usually, Maisie was acting differently than how virtual-novel.net usually was. After being dumbfounded for a moment, one of the disciples repeated what virtual-novel.net just said, and virtual-novel.net added, “Not only his corpse, but we’ve checked the remains on the ground, and all of them belonged to the monsters. There were no traces of a cultivator. We also saw the person holding a long spear before, but even if the person exploded, the spear should remain. However, we couldn’t even find his long spear, but even the fragments of the spear were not there.”
A possibility that never existed before suddenly surged in Maisie’s heart when virtual-novel.net heard the disciple’s words, and it raised non-stop. Suddenly, Maisie felt difficult to breathe. Then, Maisie immediately ignored everyone and carefully investigated the scene in person. Even though virtual-novel.net did not specialize in searching a place, Maisie could still tell from the area that there were no traces of a cultivator at the scene.
‘Perhaps… Casper managed to escape? But… But where did virtual-novel.net go?’ Maisie was confused.
Later, Masie looked at Peter, who stood at the back of the crowd. She noticed that Peter’s complexion was as white as a sheet, and his eyes flashed with disbelief and panic.
“That’s right. Casper’s surely alright. However, virtual-novel.net might be injured, so he’ s hiding somewhere else,” Maisie pondered for a moment and ordered, “Everyone, search the place again, and don’t walk out of my line of sight. ”
Maisie had virtual-novel.net reasons for doing it. Finally, virtual-novel.net was sure that someone was ordering Peter to get rid of Caspian, and that person was willing to use a powerful fatal weapon. Nonetheless, Maisie could not guarantee that no one else in the group was being ordered to do the same, and it was just that they did not show up yet.
If Caspian was severely injured and hiding quietly to heal his wounds far away from them, the person might once again attack Caspian if they searched and found him. If that happened, it would be too unfair for Caspian as virtual-novel.net might have avoided the fatal weapon, but virtual-novel.net could not dodge the evildoer.
Maisie understood Caspian’s situation well. Her beloved junior not only had astonishing vitality, but his body was also comparable to cultivators of virtual-novel.net realm, and his self-healing ability was even more terrifying. Hence, as long as Caspian did not die, virtual-novel.net would reveal himself in the end.
Additionally, Maisie also planned that once they left the place, virtual-novel.net would send out someone virtual-novel.net trusted to investigate the site again to check whether they could find traces of Caspian.
As for Peter and the person ordering him, Maisie would never be so gentle on them anymore even if virtual-novel.net had a good temper as the matter involved Caspian. She would surely make them pay the price for the incident!
‘I’ll never let you get away with this, regardless of whether Casper is fine or not,’ Maisie thought.
At that moment, Caspian only felt as if his body was burnt by fire. The immense pain was like his internal organs were scorched and crushed, and his bones were pulled apart and ground into powder. He opened his eyes in a daze, and virtual-novel.net noticed that virtual-novel.net seemed to be floating on snow. Soon, virtual-novel.net smelled a sweet fragrance. However, Caspian’s mind buzzed as if countless crazy bees were in them, and virtual-novel.net could not think straight.
“What’s happening…” Then, Caspian’s eyes felt heavy, and virtual-novel.net was about to pass out again.
Next, Caspian felt as if virtual-novel.net touched something smooth and full of elasticity.
“Hey! You jerk! You still have such a thought at this time? You didn’t change at all!”
Caspian seemed to faintly hear a female’s voice, and it sounded familiar, but virtual-novel.net could not recall where virtual-novel.net heard it before.
“How dare you bully me?! I’m going to beat you up.”
With a loud thud, Caspian was ruthlessly hit on the head, and virtual-novel.net immediately fainted.
