Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 221

Hearing this, some of the elders felt something was amiss. "What do you mean by you and Feather knowing each other? We all know him too! After all, he used to be our Senior Brother!" They exclaimed.

However, a thought suddenly came to Elder Chai, and his face changed greatly. He stared at Elder Hu sternly and shouted, "You mean that you've been in touch with Feather all the time? You are the hidden traitor that he arranged in our clan?"

Elder Hu's expression changed. Finally, he nodded and cried, "Back then, Feather asked me to steal the booklet and pills from Master's room with him. I didn't dare go. I didn't expect that he would kill Master and Senior Brother that day."

"At that time, Feather, who was preparing to run away, gave me some herbal medicine and asked me to help him escape by being his eyes and ears here. I didn't agree at first, but he threatened me. I was so scared that I had no choice but to agree."

"So, when we were chasing after Feather, I occasionally revealed some information to him."

Hearing this, all elders looked ferocious and glared angrily at Elder Hu.

"Now we know why we didn't catch Feather in the end. It turns out that you, the hidden traitor, had been sending him messages!" They exclaimed.

"He colluded with a traitor, he's a traitor too. Arrest him right now."

Fade looked at Elder Hu and said faintly, "You are in touch with Feather, so when you heard that he has been killed, you were worried that he had told me about you."

"So, you deliberately made things difficult for me. You wanted to make other elders distrust me so that I can avoid revealing that you are the traitor. Am I right?" Fade looked at Elder Hu and said in a

low voice.

Elder Hu was silent for a while. He then nodded and said, "Yes."

As the head of punishment for the clan, Elder Chai's face turned cold when he heard these words. He shouted, "Arrest him and lock him up in the dungeon. The Guardian will deal with him after he is done with his selfisolation."

Two elders then walked over and started to grab Elder Hu.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the whole side hall seemed to be shaken.

Everyone was shocked and quickly rushed out, looking at the place where the explosion occurred. There were caves built on the mountain side behind the Cloud Clan building. From one of the caves on the mountain, flame and smoke was billowing.

Upon seeing this, the expressions on the elders faces immediately changed. They cried out in alarm, "Oh no, Guardian, he..."

"What's going on?" Fade asked.

As he walked, Elder Chai explained to Fade, "Half a month ago, Guardian Zhuo was preparing to produce the Inner Strength Pill to reward the disciples who had outstanding performances, as well as to those who requested for this medicine."

"We didn't expect that when the Guardian was refining the medicine, a very precious herb suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by another kind of herb. After the herbs were put into the furnace, a violent reaction happened, which almost caused the whole furnace to explode."

"The Guardian was shocked and used all kinds of means to control the furnace. But he couldn't bear to waste the pills, so he manipulated the furnace with his powers, and then ordered us to

locate the lost herb immediately."

After listening to Elder Chai's explanation, Fade came to a realization. "And because you have to look for the herb, you have stopped allowing in those people who are requesting for medical help."

Elder Chai sighed and said, "That's true. We can't do anything about it. It will be more difficult to find the herb if there were more people coming in and asking for medication."

At this moment, Fade suddenly noticed that Elder Hu, who was being pressed to the ground, had a cold smile flashing across his face.

Immediately, Fade's eyes darkened. He stepped forward and shouted coldly, "What do you know about what happened to Guardian Zhuo?"

Elder Hu's face darkened, he looked surprised, and then he fell silent.

Fade gave a fierce grunt. He raised his palm, and said coldly, "Do you want me to force it out of you?"

Elder Hu was shocked. His body trembled for a moment before he stuttered, "I, I was the one who switched Guardian Zhuo's precious herbs." "What? How could you do that?" Elder Chai shouted angrily, he was appalled.

Elder Hu lowered his head and said, "I heard that Feather has been killed. I was worried that my identity would be exposed. So I made another preparation."

"You, you..." The elders around him were so angry, they wanted to kill Elder Hu on the spot!

On the contrary, Fade asked calmly, "Where is the herb you took?"

Elder Chai and the others suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly asked, "That's right. Where's the herb?"

Elder Hu smiled and said, "I've already refined and consumed it."

"How dare you..." Elder Chai and the others were boiling with anger!

At this time, there was another explosion from the cave on the mountain wall, and the billowing smoke was massive.

When Elder Chai and the others saw this, they grew anxious. "Oh no, the furnace might have gone out of control. The Guardian is in danger."

"Take him away!" Elder Chai asked for two elders to escort Elder Hu back to the dungeons. The rest of them rushed towards the cave, and Fade followed suit.

Soon, the group of people arrived outside the cave where Guardian Zhuo was.

The cave was built into the mountain wall, equipped with a Magic Furnace, a source of fire, a storage room, and other items. These items were specially designed for Guardian Zhuo to perform his pill refining operation.

At this moment, the large cave was filled with thick smoke. A huge medicinal cauldron was placed on a fire. From time to time, explosions could be heard from within the Magic Furnace. Beside it, a long-haired man with a darkened face was doing his best to control the situation. It was as though he wanted to rescue the medicinal pills from within the Magic Furnace.

However, the explosions from the Magic Furnace kept injuring the long- haired man, causing him to tremble violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Elder Chai and others were very anxious. They rushed into the cave and shouted simultaneously, "Guardian, it's dangerous. Come out quickly." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

When the Guardian saw this, he bellowed, "Don't come over. The Magic Furnace has lost control. If I leave, there will be a huge explosion. I'm afraid that the entire cave system behind the mountain will be destroyed. The Cloud Clan cannot afford

such losses."

The hearts of Elder Chai and the others sank. There were dozens of caves in the mountain, some of which were used to refine pills and some to store priceless treasures. Many of the clan's precious herbs and weapons were at stake. There were also some outstanding disciples who were practising in the caves at this moment.

If the caves were to really be destroyed, the Cloud Clan would definitely be greatly weakened, and their skill level would fall the from Black Level immediately. There would be no chance for them to rise again.
