The Divine Soul Restriction inside the Golden Core Cultivator wasn't difficult for Lu Sangjiu to deal with, but to feign weakness, she deliberately took a little longer to completely remove it.
Finally, she clutched her chest again. "I really can't go on... Let Duoduo protect you. I need to get some good sleep to rest and recover."
Watching her feigned stagger as she left, Xie Ningyuan gave a helpless smile before turning to the Golden Core Cultivator. "See? I wasn't lying, was I? So, can you tell me who your master is now?"
The Golden Core Cultivator was overjoyed to have the restriction on him removed. True to his word, he then answered Xie Ningyuan's question without hesitation.
"It's the City Lord."
Then, without Xie Ningyuan having to ask, he explained everything.
"The City Lord's Wife contracted a strange illness. To save his wife, the City Lord somehow found an Evil Technique to cure her."
