Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1466: 793: Killing to Break the Seal (Part 2)

Zhao Sheng arrived at the Weng Pavilion bookshop in Mingxi Town to visit Old Shopkeeper Chen, only to learn from Manager Chen that the elder was unwell. Moments later, a panicked servant burst in, announcing the old master's sudden death in his study. Following the grieving Manager Chen to the Chen Mansion, Zhao Sheng entered the eerily tidy study, where the pale corpse sat behind the desk, and spotted a suspicious empty spot on the wall where the treasured Yellow Springs Other Shore Painting had once hung. Questioning the servant who discovered the body, Zhao Sheng uncovered that the painting was already missing, hinting at foul play amid the old man's mysterious demise.
