Chapter 1918: Chapter 1918: Wang Kai Poisoned by a Poisonous Insect

Ye Shikai quickly said, fearing that if he didn’t intervene, the two women might start fighting. Chen Yuxin’s possessiveness was strong; before marriage, she was always worried that Ye Shikai might fall for someone else, and it remained so after marriage. Although Wuyan was only nineteen, she was an unparalleled beauty and a cultivation genius. With her identity as the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, her strength certainly rivaled Chen Yuxin’s. Jealousy might be a woman’s nature, Ye Shikai could understand it, as long as Chen Yuxin didn’t get overly jealous.

"Kai, I’ll wait for you in the resting area." Chen Yuxin said flatly, her gaze towards Wuyan full of warning.

"Looks like your wife is jealous of me." After Chen Yuxin left, Wuyan deliberately remarked.

"You knew but still asked, Wuyan, aren’t you deliberately putting me in a tough spot? If there’s anything private to say, you could come find me when she’s not around." Ye Shikai rolled his eyes.

"I’m not someone who enjoys idle chatter. I’m here for urgent matters that can’t be delayed."

"Then quickly, tell me." Ye Shikai asked.

"I just detected traces of worms nearby, but the number is unknown. Everyone needs to be careful. With so many people present, if they’re all infected by worm poison, I won’t be able to handle it." Wuyan said calmly, but this was no trivial matter, though she remained composed.

"Wait, you said there are worms nearby, is that real?" Ye Shikai asked urgently, if there were really worms nearby, the thousands present could be in grave danger.

"Of course it’s real."

"What kind of worms?"

"I’m not sure yet, but the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect has discovered a few rare poisonous worms in the forest outside the camp. It’s truly interesting; I’d like to see who in the world is so skilled in worm skills." The only thing that piqued Wuyan’s interest was the other party’s identity. Worm skills weren’t unique to Huaxia, but to find someone so proficient in it in North America was truly rare. After all, many people here didn’t even know what ’Gu’ was...

"Alright, I’ll immediately inform Nightmare to ensure everyone’s safety. If there’s nothing important, no one should leave the camp. Additionally, Wuyan, your sensitivity to worms is sharp, so we’ll need you to pay extra attention."

"No problem with that, but I still suggest you be more cautious. Even though you have a Lifebound Gu within you, you can’t be careless. If the opponent is a worm expert, they might have something that counters the Lifebound Gu."

"In any case, just be extra vigilant."

"Alright, thank you."

Ye Shikai didn’t expect worms to already be in the forest outside the camp. Could it be that George already knows about this operation... ℯℯ𝑙.

Late night.

"My Lord, something has happened." Nightmare suddenly burst into the office, startling Ye Shikai into standing up quickly.

"What’s the situation?"

"War God... Lord War God has been poisoned." Nightmare said hastily.

"What did you say?"

"It was just discovered; Lord War God was suddenly poisoned and has already been taken for treatment."

"Quick, take me to see."

"Alright."

Medical Department.

Ye Shikai and Nightmare arrived here, and many people had already gathered, even those from the Chen family and the National Security Bureau were present. Wang Kai was a top expert in the Underworld and one of the Main Gods, many people looked up to him. Now, with him suddenly poisoned and rushed for emergency care, it dealt a heavy blow to everyone’s morale.

"What’s exactly going on?" Ye Shikai asked as he approached, as Wang Kai was undergoing treatment, he didn’t dare speak too loudly either.

"He’s poisoned by worm poison." Wuyan said calmly.

"Worm poison, what’s going on, what kind of worm?"

"It’s still hard to determine, but it likely entered the body through food. I’ve already made an emergency rescue, and he should be able to survive, but he must rest for a long period of time; participating in this operation is impossible." Wuyan informed Ye Shikai. He saw it too, though through emergency rescue, Wang Kai was still pale and unconscious, sometimes even convulsing suddenly, all signs of severe poisoning. Ye Shikai was shocked and disappointed; the operation hadn’t even started, and Wang Kai was already poisoned. He didn’t want Wang Kai to become another Tianjing.

"I brought some healing medicine, combined with Inner Strength protection, it should have some effect." Wuyan said calmly.

"Alright, thank you then."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Wang Kai’s condition had stabilized, but participating in this operation was impossible. The members of the War God Temple could only temporarily follow Ye Shikai’s orders. Although no one said anything out loud, Ye Shikai could see it; they had begun to have second thoughts. Even Wang Kai got poisoned by worms, and their strength was less than Wang Kai’s, wouldn’t that mean certain death for them...

"Kai, are you okay?" Chen Yuxin quickly asked, as if the one who got poisoned was him, not Wang Kai.

"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine." Ye Shikai waved his hand, he had a Lifebound Gu within his body, naturally he wasn’t afraid, but others were in danger...

Wuyan mentioned, the poison Wang Kai was infected with likely entered through food, meaning the poison was placed in the food. So, this wasn’t an accident; someone did it deliberately. Otherwise, with thousands present, why was it only Wang Kai’s food that was poisoned?

But since the other party resorted to such despicable means, why only target Wang Kai, and not him? There were so many others present, Nightmare, Chen Yuxin; why target only Wang Kai?

"Kai, we should leave quickly." In the room, Chen Yuxin urged.

"Why?"

"Can’t you see, Wang Kai has already been poisoned, this is the opponent’s warning. If we stay here any longer, it won’t end well, and people don’t want to stay anymore. Disbanding by your orders would definitely fulfill their wishes."

"Xin, if we give up now, all previous efforts would be wasted. Besides, Wuyan is here. If more worms appear, aren’t you reassured by her presence?" Ye Shikai persuaded.

"Don’t mention her to me, perhaps it was her who poisoned Wang Kai." Chen Yuxin sneered coldly.

"Don’t talk nonsense, she wouldn’t do that. Besides, she has no enmity with Old Wang, she has no motive to do such a thing." Ye Shikai retorted, he didn’t believe Wuyan was behind this, or else her warning during the day would have been unnecessary.

"Kai, why won’t you listen to me?" Chen Yuxin shouted emotionally, leaving Ye Shikai a bit at a loss for words.
