Chapter 168 Betrayal (Two Chapters in One)

The wooden king tripod was placed on the flat ground in the valley. Zhou Qing stored the newly refined Yuanhun Jinye and then put the ice silkworm Gu worms into it.

Buzz!

The ice silkworm Gu worms seemed to see some delicious food on earth and rushed to throw themselves into the Yuanhun Jinye.

Kakaka!

They became stronger with the feeding of Yuanhun Jinye. Some of the ice silkworm Gu worms could not withstand the ice soul cold air contained in the Yuanhun Jinye and were directly frozen to death on the spot, and their bodies turned into a piece of ice crystal.

However, the power in their bodies was not wasted. The surviving ice silkworm Gu worms would eat the ice crystals transformed by the ice silkworm Gu worms as soon as possible, and the ice soul cold air inside was absorbed by them.

The number of ice silkworm Gu worms was rapidly decreasing, but the remaining individuals were getting stronger.

These stronger individuals were more eager for the power of Yuanhun Jinye, so they began to fight each other.

Their hard shells were enough to withstand the slashing of high-quality weapons, but when facing sharper mouthparts, they only needed a few bites to break the defense.

When the carapace of an ice silkworm worm is damaged, several ice silkworm worms will rush up and attack it.

It will take only a few breaths for the ice silkworm worm with a damaged carapace to become food for other ice silkworm worms.

In the end, including the first mutant ice silkworm worm, Zhou Qing only had three ice silkworm worms left.

The three ice silkworm worms were all first-grade top-grade worms, and each of them had a powerful combat power that could rival a martial artist in the bone refining realm.

Buzz!

The three ice silkworm worms stood in three directions and did not continue to fight.

Two of the ice silkworm worms were relatively close, forming a cornering trend.

"What a strong and fierce nature!" Zhou Qing looked at the ice silkworm worm that exuded a fierce aura, and his eyes condensed.

Among the three ice silkworm worms, the strongest mutant ice silkworm worm, after being refined by his true essence, absolutely obeyed his orders, but the other two first-grade top-grade ice silkworm worms were originally under the control of the mutant ice silkworm worm.

Now that the two ice silkworms have evolved to the first-grade extreme, they have already had the idea of ​​escaping from the control of the mutant ice silkworms.

As for Zhou Qing, he can only sense the existence of the two ice silkworms through a weak blood connection, so it is a bit unrealistic to want to control them.

Of course, the two ice silkworms did not escape Zhou Qing's control on the spot because they were suppressed by the mutant ice silkworms.

As first-grade extreme insects, their wisdom is not low.

Whether it is Zhou Qing, Wei Hongyu on the side, or the Zhimu Ling corpse, they can pose a fatal danger to them.

In addition, the powerful ice spirit coldness in the mutant ice silkworms and the Zhimu Ling corpse also attracted the two ice silkworms.

The instinct of evolution drove them to stay.

Whoosh!

Before the two ice silkworms resisted, Zhou Qing took the lead and took them into the Wood King Cauldron.

Then, he came to Wei Hongyu's side.

"Senior sister, you can stop, and continue tomorrow."

"Okay" Wei Hongyu stopped releasing the true essence, and her face turned slightly pale.

Consuming a large amount of true energy, even though Wei Hongyu was a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm with a deep foundation, she felt weak under her feet and weak in her body.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior sister." Zhou Qing saw Wei Hongyu sweating on her forehead, her hair wet with sweat and sticking to her delicate cheeks, and was deeply touched. She really helped him with all her strength without reservation.

Zhou Qing took out a square towel from his arms and handed it to Wei Hongyu to wipe her sweat.

Then, he took out a pot of fire toad wine from the storage space.

"Senior sister, this is fire toad wine, which contains the power of drug poison. Drinking a little can replenish your physical strength."

"Okay." Wei Hongyu took the wine gourd without hesitation, raised her head and drank a sip.

"Cough cough cough!"

The next moment, Wei Hongyu coughed violently, and the bright yellow wine overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back to help her breathe.

Wei Hongyu was choked with tears in the corners of her eyes and her face flushed.

"What a strong wine! The medicinal power is very strong!"

"." Zhou Qing was speechless for a moment. Could it be because of the alcohol bug? Now when he drinks a lot of good wine, he feels very refreshing. Although the taste is different, it is mainly the fragrance. As for whether the wine is strong or not, he is not sure.

Seeing Zhou Qing not talking, Wei Hongyu thought he was deliberately teasing her and rolled her eyes at him.

"Give it back to you!"

Wei Hongyu pushed the wine gourd into Zhou Qing's arms.

"Sister, keep it. This wine is called Fire Toad Wine. It is very helpful for practicing poison skills and refining the body. The next few days are the critical moment. Success or failure depends on this. Please help me, sister."

Zhou Qing did not explain, and said seriously.

"Sister, I will help you go back to rest."

"I'm not that fragile!" Wei Hongyu waved her hand and put away the Fire Toad Wine.

The two returned to the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall in Heishan Town.

In the next few days, Wei Hongyu stayed indoors during the day to recover her true essence, and followed Zhou Qing into Black Wind Mountain at night to nourish the Wood Spirit Corpse with her true essence.

Late that night, Zhou Qing carried the exhausted Wei Hongyu back to Baiyun Martial Arts Hall. When they reached the back door, Wei Hongyu spoke.

"Put me down."

"Yes." Zhou Qing half-knelt down and put Wei Hongyu down from his back.

After consuming a lot of true essence for several consecutive days, Wei Hongyu could no longer bear it.

In fact, Zhou Qing's steps were also weak and his body was soft. In order to ensure that everything was safe, he had recently fed a lot of true essence back to the Wood Spirit Corpse.

Fortunately, we can officially start refining the second-level Ice Evil Gu tomorrow, and all the efforts will usher in the moment of harvest.

"Big sister, sixth junior brother, where have you been?"

Zhou Qing and Wei Hongyu just pushed open the back door, and a young man with thick eyebrows and a resolute face appeared in the yard. It was Wei Mingcheng.

And behind Wei Mingcheng followed a young man with ordinary appearance, which was Wan Jiang.

The two looked at Wei Mingcheng and Wan Jiang with strange expressions.

"." Zhou Qing fell into silence. It seemed that he and Wei Hongyu consumed too much true energy, and their steps were weak and unable to cover their tracks, so they were discovered by the two.

"Of course it's something important." Wei Hongyu was startled when she saw Wei Mingcheng and Wan Jiang at first, but she quickly regained her composure. She took out the style of a senior sister and had no intention of explaining.

"Big sister, I." Wei Mingcheng was stunned when he saw the attitude of the eldest sister.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's rest early." Wei Hongyu frowned slightly, resisted the weakness, and walked towards the wing room.

She walked to the corridor and saw Zhou Qing was still there. She turned around and said, "Ah Qing, what are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

"I'm coming." Zhou Qing reacted, bowed to Wei Mingcheng and Wan Jiang, and followed Wei Hongyu.

When the two disappeared at the end of the corridor, Wan Jiang's eyes flashed with a strange color, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Wei Mingcheng looked at Wan Jiang on the side and hurriedly explained, "Brother Wan, the eldest sister is with the sixth junior brother..."

"It's normal for men and women to love each other. No one can force it." Wan Jiang looked calm.

"Oh, it's all my fault." Wei Mingcheng was a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to match the eldest sister with Brother Wan, but he didn't expect to make things worse. He didn't realize that the eldest sister was so close to the sixth junior brother Zhou Qing. Fortunately, Brother Wan didn't care.

"Rest early." Wan Jiang smiled faintly.

The next day, at night.

Zhou Qing and Wei Hongyu left Baiyun Martial Arts Hall quietly.

Shortly after the two left, Wan Jiang also left Baiyun Martial Arts Hall under the cover of night, but his direction was exactly the opposite of the two.

He went to Zhongliu County, south of Heishan Town.

He came to a dilapidated house outside the county town.

As soon as he walked into the fenced yard, a fire suddenly lit up in the originally dark main room, and the bright yellow fire illuminated the inner room.

"Since you are here, why don't you come in and have a chat?"

Wan Jiang's eyes fixed, paused, then walked to the door of the main room and pushed it open.

I saw a middle-aged man in a green robe and elegant appearance sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes to rest. It was Mu Renjie.

When Wan Jiang walked into the main room, Mu Renjie opened his eyes.

"Meet Uncle Mu." Wan Jiang bowed respectfully to Mu Renjie.

"Nephew Wan, do you still think I am your uncle?" Mu Renjie smiled faintly.

"Uncle Mu left the Five Poison Sect because of the dispute between the Five Poisons and the Baiyun lineages, which had no conflict with our sect master's lineage. There is nothing wrong with me calling you uncle." Seeing Mu Renjie's close attitude, Wan Jiang's tense body relaxed slightly.

"As expected of Brother Wan's son, you are really watertight in your words." Mu Renjie smiled, but his words were slightly sarcastic.

"I wonder if what Uncle Mu said before still counts?" Wan Jiang didn't care and went straight to the point.

"Yuan'er approached you many times before, but you didn't agree. Why do you change your mind now?"

Mu Renjie narrowed his eyes, and an amazing momentum rose from his body.

Boom!

The air in the hall seemed to stagnate, and Wan Jiang's body tightened, but he didn't resist, just looked at Mu Renjie quietly.

The next moment, the suffocating and terrifying pressure dissipated instantly.

"It's a different time now. Without Chen Hong, Wei Hongyu still doesn't like me. The Wei family is so arrogant, I want them to pay the price!" Wan Jiang explained.

He has always liked Wei Hongyu. In his early years, he had Chen Hong, so he buried this thought deep in his heart.

Recently, when Wei Mingcheng mentioned it, he recalled that he had been tossing and turning for Wei Hongyu and couldn't sleep all night.

Unfortunately, there is now an irreconcilable conflict of interest between the Wei family and the Wan family.

His father, Wan Guiliu, the head of the Wan family, ordered him to keep a close eye on Wei Mingcheng and use it to deal with Wei Sheng when necessary.

The ancestor passed the Wan family's heirloom magic weapon to Wei Mingcheng, and Wan Jiang was not jealous of Wei Mingcheng.

But the ancestor now wants to hand over the Five Poison Sect to Wei Sheng, allowing the Baiyun lineage to completely replace the sect master's lineage, which is something that the entire Wan family cannot accept.

Originally, Wan Jiang could still convince himself that for the sake of his good brother and his beloved woman, he had to mediate to prevent the two families from breaking up completely.

But after more than a year of practice, he was stuck at the Perfection of Bone Refining Realm and could not make any progress.

Now, he suddenly figured it out.

Compared to becoming stronger, brotherhood and women, what does it matter.

His father will take action against Wei Sheng sooner or later, and then he will still be at odds with Wei Mingcheng and Wei Hongyu.

Rather than doing that, it is better to take the initiative.

When the magic weapon merges with him, he will be the next head of the Wan family, the leader of the Five Poison Sect, and a giant in the future county city.

"You have always been good friends with Wei Mingcheng. Will you break up with him for Wei Hongyu? How can you prove that you are not deceiving me?" Mu Renjie thought.

"I am here, this is the best proof." Wan Jiang said frankly.

"But from what I know about you, you are not a person who will turn against Wei Mingcheng for a woman." Mu Renjie pondered.

"My life and death depend on Uncle Mu's thoughts." Wan Jiang opened his arms, "Compared to my friendship with Wei Mingcheng, I care more about whether my thoughts are clear."

"Uncle Mu doesn't want to know what Wei Hongyu has been doing recently?"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Mu Renjie became interested.

"Wei Hongyu has been hiding during the day and going out at night with Zhou Qing recently. Although I didn't follow them, they should have gone to Black Wind Mountain.

When they came back yesterday, their steps were weak and their breath was disordered.

Even Wei Hongyu, a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm, could not hide her weakness.

She must have done something that consumed a lot of physical strength and true essence."

Wan Jiang explained.

"Hidden during the day and went out at night?!" Mu Renjie's eyes changed slightly.

He thought of the Zhimu Spirit Corpse at the first time. Could it be that Wei Hongyu wanted to use her own true essence to nourish the Zhimu Spirit Corpse and help it break through to the fourth blood exchange and the realm of blood and qi smoke.

If so, then things would be more difficult.

After taking the Great Rejuvenation Pill, after a month of recuperation, his injuries have stabilized, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with ordinary Qi and Blood Veil Realm.

Even if Wei Hongyu has a second-level magic weapon, he can deal with it.

But if the Zhimu Spirit Corpse breaks through, it will be difficult to deal with it.

He can use his body skills to bypass the Zhimu Spirit Corpse to deal with Zhou Qing, because although the Zhimu Spirit Corpse has a strong body, it is only equivalent to a great martial artist who has exchanged blood three times, so it is not as flexible and fast as him.

But if the Zhimu Spirit Corpse breaks through and its speed increases greatly, it will be difficult to deal with Zhou Qing directly.

What's more, Wei Hongyu seems to be advancing and retreating with Zhou Qing now.

Zhou Qing can control the Zhimu Spirit Corpse and fight him at all costs, but he can't be without scruples.

If his injuries keep recurring, even if he recovers in the future, it will probably be difficult to make further progress.

"What do you want?!" Mu Renjie asked with a quick mind.

"The magic weapon in Wei Mingcheng's body belongs to my uncle, and the magic weapon in Wei Hongyu's hand belongs to me."

Wan Jiang said in a deep voice.

"The second-level magic weapon in Wei Mingcheng's body is the Wan family's heirloom magic weapon, so you should take it. As for the magic weapon in Wei Hongyu's hand, it belongs to me." Mu Renjie looked at Wan Jiang deeply.

If the Wan family's heirloom magic weapon was taken away by him, I'm afraid the ancestor of the Five Poison Sect would not let it go.

He didn't want to be targeted by another top master at the peak of the blood exchange realm.

As for taking away Wei Hongyu's magic weapon, it would only offend Wei Sheng.

He and Wei Sheng had been fighting to the death, so there was no question of making enemies again.

"You tricked Wei Mingcheng here to show your sincerity. When I capture Wei Mingcheng alive, I can force Wei Hongyu to surrender, so that it will be foolproof." Mu Renjie pondered.

"Then wait for my news, uncle." Wan Jiang bowed respectfully.

The two discussed some details, and then Wan Jiang left the hall.

"Mingcheng, don't blame me!"

Wan Jiang looked back at the hall where the fire was extinguished, and sighed deeply in his heart.

"If you want to blame someone, blame the ancestor."
