Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 609: Wuhan’s Rage!
After seeing Captain Blacksword off, Noah made his way deeper into the castle, straight towards the room where he could feel Wuhan's energy coming from. Noah decided to use a stealth spell to hide his presence as he moved with ease.
Not a single guard or worker of the palace could sense him with his cultivation and mastery of the spell.
Soon, Noah found himself in the personal quarters of the Emperor. Wuhan was sitting in his study, going through the reports he had received from his personal guards, who were in charge of the purge of the Empire.
"You seem busy." Wuhan's hands, which were flipping through sheets of paper, came to a halt as he placed them down.
"What happened?" Wuhan raised his head and looked at Noah with a worried gaze. "You came all the way here to tell me something instead of using a voice transmission. It must be something bad…"
"We were attacked…" Noah was not surprised that Wuhan was able to deduce something from his actions. He would not be an Emperor if he could not even guess something like that. "It was the Red Dawn Cult. They brought an army to the sect because I destroyed one of their strongholds and left the name of the sect there."
Wuhan's gaze fell as he prepared himself for the worst possible scenario. "How many casualties?"
Noah paused, seeing Wuhan was trying to keep himself composed, but noticing the slight tremble of his hands showed how much he really cared for everyone in the sect.
"Zero."
"...Huh?" Wuhan, who was staring at his desk, unwilling to look Noah in the eye, blinked in confusion for a few seconds. "What's going on?"
"No one was killed, but Song Liu left with the enemy." Noah walked towards the nearby wall and leaned against it. "They sacrificed all of their power just to take her away."
"What's going on…" When Wuhan heard what Noah said, his voice fell as he asked in a cold tone, "Tell me everything that happened in detail."
...
"..." Wuhan stayed silent for a while after Noah finished briefing him about everything that happened word for word. "How did they even find the location of our sect? Even if they found it, there were camouflage arrays around the area that could keep the sect isolated from the world. They could not have located the sect easily."
As he spoke, Wuhan's eyes fell on Noah as they narrowed sharply. Seeing this, Noah sighed out loud before confirming what he had been thinking.
"During the competition we held a while ago, there were some rats of the Red Dawn Cult hiding in the shadows. My participation in the competition caught their attention, and they called for backup to attack me and Xin Yan."
"Naturally, they were killed by us, but before dying, they planted something to locate the sect on me as a final struggle against me. Even though I knew about it, I left the device there so that I could lure their leader there and extract information about the cult from his mind after killing—"
Boom!
Before Noah could finish, a huge aura escaped Wuhan's body, pressuring down on him. Noah, feeling the weight on his body, let out a small groan, but that was all.
"You placed the lives of the people of the sect on the line just to get information out of some brainwashed fanatic who would rather die than say anything?" Wuhan did not hold back his aura a single bit, but it did not affect Noah at all; instead, it alarmed the guards outside.
"Your Majesty! Is there an intruder?" All the guards and the shadow forces gathered around his room in an instant, ready to barge inside, but before they could, Wuhan stopped them. "I am fine. No need to come in until I tell you so. Make sure to not let anyone else in as well."
The more he thought about what Noah did, the angrier he got. Even his voice came out colder than usual, causing the guards outside the room to tremble in fear.
"Who angered His Majesty so much that he lashed out like that?" The people in the shadow guard, who knew Wuhan better than anyone in the palace, could tell the man was angry. They immediately backed away from the area, complying with his wishes.

The rest of the guards hesitated but finally chose to obey as well.
"Now that you put it that way, it does seem like that, but I had no intentions of harming the others, as I had prepared for everything." Noah knew what he did could have gone wrong if he had no precautions in place.
Wuhan's anger did not ease upon hearing his words. He let out a scowl. "Oh! Please explain to me what countermeasures you had in place to make sure all the disciples and elders were safe and not one of them was 'taken away' by the people of the Red Dawn Cult."
Sigh. "Firstly, I had left a trace of my soul power in each one of your disciples and the girls I brought back—the ones I told you about on the talisman. Then, I had several fixed-point teleportation arrays to this place in the sect. If I felt like there was something we could not deal with, they would all have been teleported here." Noah listed all the countermeasures he had in place one by one. The more Wuhan listened, the more his lips twitched. "And lastly, if I had no time to activate all of those, there was a huge killing seal covering the sect that could be activated. Things would have gone well if Song Liu had not left the sect out of her own volition."
Just when Wuhan was getting annoyed at Noah for not telling him all of this before making his move, the last sentence the man spoke left him baffled.
"What do you mean she left by herself? How can she leave with them when she knows they are the enemy?" Wuhan immediately rushed towards Noah and asked, his voice rising without him even knowing.
"Exactly what I meant. She chose to go along with them." Noah let out a sigh. "Had I tried to stop her, things would have gone out of hand."
"No... What I am asking is, why would she go with them when the curse is not even working on her? Isn't that what you told me?" The shocking revelation of Song Liu's secret had made Wuhan agree to let the girl leave her cell, but now he was regretting his decision.
