Chapter 2574
Assured by the compliment, Karen's smile widened as she continued, ''Isn't Lady Chang Er now
learning the ways of Taoism in the Holy Saint Sect under Grandmaster Chun Yang? I propose that we
send a few men pretending to be disciples of the Holy Saint Sect to Zhu Bajie and tell him that Lady
Chang Er is asking to see him. Judging from his personality, it is certain that Zhu Bajie wouldn't say
anything to Darryl Darby, or anyone else for that matter, so we wouldn't have to worry about him
having backup.'' She looked up to Zhang Jue as she spoke, grinning proudly.
''Haha!'' Zhang Jue was extremely pleased at the idea. Approval filled his expression as he
complimented, ''Excellent idea. Good, very good.'' He had been right about Karen, the girl was smart
and vigilant, one of his best disciples for being able to provide such a brilliant idea. He immediately
leaped into action by sending two elite disciples to head towards the Yach family and lure Zhu Bajie

''Master!'' It was then when Paul strode over to Chester with faked concern and asked, ''What should
we do? If Zhu Bajie gets captured, Sect Master Darby will be in danger.'' He made a point to look
around cautiously as he spoke in order to look secretive.
Sigh! Chester sighed with a troubled expression, feeling like he was about to lose his mind in panic.
''Of course, I am aware of that, which is why we need to do something. We can't just wait around any
longer.11 Every instinct in Chester was telling him to head towards the Yach family immediately but
he knew that as soon as he was gone, Zhang Jue would realize that he had been lying and that could
easily put Dax and the others that were still locked in the cell, in danger.
What he didn't know at the time was that Zhang Jue had learnt of his fake surrender long before this from Paul.
''So what's the plan, Master?'' Paul came closer and asked.
Chester was thoughtful for a moment before saying decisively, ''How about this, go to Zhang Jue later and tell him
in person that you want to volunteer to lure Chang Er out from the Holy Saint Sect. Once you are at Lady Chang
Er's presence, you need to inform her on the situation and ask for some spiritual pills that can facilitate power
recovery.''
Chester could tell that Zhang Jue was an extremely ambitious man, who wouldn't stop at simply having Zhu Bajie
captured, but would also turn his target to Chang Er once he was done with the prior. Therefore, Paul must take
the initiative and head towards the Holy Saint Sect, pretending like his intention was to lure her out when actually,
he was there to seek help from Chang Er for elixir. Dax and the rest were weakened to the point where they
needed elixir in order to recover. Unfortunately, Chester couldn't refine elixir even if his life depended on it. On the
other hand, the Holy Saint Sect where Chang Er resided was the holy ground of Taoism, obtaining elixir from them
should be an easy task. Chester wanted to send someone to the Yach family without anyone noticing to have
Darryl himself refine the elixir, but he had always been a cautious man and he was well aware that if Zhang Jue
was to find out about it, all hell would break loose. This would put everyone, including himself, in danger.

Paul's eyes glittered with schemes at Chester's plan, he replied unctuously, ''What a well thought-out plan you
made, Master.'' He smiled reassuringly before continuing, ''rest assured, I will carry out your plan as told.''
Despite the respectful expression, Paul's mind was cold with viciousness as he thought to himself, 'Oh, Chester,
you are digging your own grave here. Don't blame me for what's about to happen.' ''Go!'' Chester replied
calmly.
Paul made a sound to acknowledge the order and immediately turned to stride towards where
Zhang Jue was resting. As soon as he reached the door, he paused at the sight of Zhang Jue meditating.
''Master!'' Paul whispered cautiously.
Zhang Jue opened his eyes at the sound and asked, ''What is it?'' If Zhang Jue had to be completely
honest, even after his claim of loyalty, he never quite liked unstable men like Paul, who could never
pick a side.
Paul forced a smile and paced in before reporting respectfully, ''Master, Chester is on the move and
has come up with a plan earlier.'' Paul kept his expression modest as he spoke.
''Oh?'' Instantly, Zhang Jue's interest piqued and asked hurriedly, ''What plan?''
