238: The situation is not good

Looking at his junior brother, who was now on the ground, writhing in pain, they no longer felt the same sympathy they had just moments before.

If sacrificing one person's safety could protect everyone, then that was all they could do.

"From today onwards, everyone will act in pairs. You must never go alone, or you might bring disaster to the entire sect. I don't think any of you want to see that outcome, do you?"

Lei Li's words were indeed effective; the others present all nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, then be careful and cautious these next few days. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Starting tomorrow, I will completely leave this place."

As he spoke, Lei Li's expression became even more solemn.

The closer he was to the sect, the more unsafe it became. To ensure his own safety and that of the other disciples in the sect, the best course of action was for him to leave.

If Chen Tianming and his group couldn't find his whereabouts, they would just have to accept their fate.

However, he was certainly unwilling to let things end like this!

"To be deleted by that guy... I must settle this score with him properly!"

Lei Li's hands were clenched into tight fists, and he already had a general idea in mind.

The continuous good weather finally ended at dusk. Accompanied by a muffled thunderclap, heavy rain poured outside. Pedestrians on the road hurried home.

The once bustling street now appeared deserted.

Inside the room, Chen Tianming let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes, feeling his body filled with strength.

If he missed out on such a good cultivation spot now, he would regret it later when it was too late.

"Husband, it's raining so heavily outside. Are we still going out today?"

Ding Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, asking with curiosity.

The number of pedestrians on the road had visibly decreased. Even if they went out, they might not gain anything, so it was better to stay home and recuperate.

However, Wan Yue shook her head.

"Every day we are here must be used effectively. I think that person indeed has some ability. If we track him in time, we might even uncover a big fish. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid..."

"Are we going out in this heavy rain then?"

The two women had different opinions on this matter.

Finally, they both looked at Chen Tianming, waiting for his reply.

"You two, don't argue for now."

Chen Tianming said, immediately using his internal energy to track Lei Li's location.

He was still in the cave at this moment.

He was probably injured by him yesterday, which is why he hid back and didn't dare to come out.

As long as he wasn't active, they had nothing to fear.

"Let's stay in the room and rest well for now. This is a good opportunity to recuperate. After leaving Southern Xinjiang, we won't have such a good opportunity again."

A smile immediately appeared on Ding Xiaoyu's face, and she then glanced at Wan Yue.

Wan Yue didn't speak, directly coming to sit in front of Chen Tianming.

"If you need dual cultivation, just tell me. Two people cultivating together will achieve twice the results with half the effort."

Chen Tianming did not refuse this.

Just as he had said before, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to make himself stronger.

It was Ding Xiaoyu who missed the best timing instead.

At this moment, she could only watch them both dual cultivate with longing, while she herself was excluded.

"If I had known this, I should have snatched Husband first."

Chen Tianming was a genius in this aspect.

Dual cultivating with him could also make one's internal energy advance by leaps and bounds.

She was also unwilling to miss the opportunity to cultivate, so she immediately closed her eyes, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowing in.

Suddenly, an urgent phone ring broke the atmosphere in the room.

Chen Tianming frowned deeply.

Who was this? Not too early, not too late, but precisely at this moment.

Wan Yue temporarily withdrew her power, her voice calm and gentle.

"You go answer the phone first. What if it's something important? We'll be staying here for at least a few more days, so it's not like we don't even have time to answer a phone call."

Chen Tianming nodded lightly, then answered the call.

Gao Zhiman's voice on the other end of the phone was exceptionally excited. Even through the phone, Chen Tianming could imagine the expression on her face.

"Husband, are you still in Southern Xinjiang? When can you probably come back?"

"There are already some clues, but it will take a few more days of thorough investigation. Is something wrong?"

As soon as she heard that Chen Tianming couldn't return anytime soon, Gao Zhiman was so anxious she almost cried, her voice full of grievance.

"Husband, after you left, I carefully took care of everyone as you instructed. Except for work hours, I was almost always guarding the manor, just fearing something would happen here, but I didn't expect something still happened..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianming's face immediately turned cold.

"What happened?"

"Since last night, everyone in the family has been experiencing varying degrees of diarrhea and vomiting, but it doesn't seem like food poisoning. We took them to the Hospital, but they couldn't find anything. I was truly at my wit's end, so I thought of calling you."

Gao Zhiman said, so agitated that she was almost crying now.

"Husband, what do we do now?"

She had never encountered such a situation before. Now Chen Tianming had entrusted the entire household to her alone, yet she had handled things like this.

Gao Zhiman felt both nervous and wronged.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"What did you say?"

Chen Tianming frowned slightly.

But soon he realized his reaction just now had been a bit too strong.

"Don't worry first. We will rush back as soon as possible. Before that, no one is allowed to leave the manor, do you hear me?"

Gao Zhiman was already extremely flustered at this point, and upon hearing Chen Tianming's words, she immediately nodded.

Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue, who were nearby, also sensed the abnormality.

After Chen Tianming hung up, the two immediately gathered around him.

"Husband, what happened?"

"Yes, your face looks terrible, as if you've encountered something tricky. Why don't you tell us? Perhaps the two of us can help you."

Chen Tianming had no choice but to relay the contents of the phone call to the two women in detail.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaoyu's face immediately changed upon hearing this.

"If it's not an illness, then it's very likely that the surrounding aura has changed. Previously, on the mountain, the masters paid most attention to this, and the sect also conducted regular inspections, fearing being plotted against by others. In my opinion, during the time we were away, someone must have taken advantage of the situation and entered!"

This was quite similar to what Chen Tianming had suspected.

"Damn it, to be raided!"

Chen Tianming's face was incredibly grim.

Wan Yue was the calmest at this moment, "If that's the case, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we're going back."

On this issue, Chen Tianming's attitude was also exceptionally firm.
