Chapter 185 Betrayal
Three more cultivators in the late stage of Qi training came out from the dense forest.
Two of them were elders of the Liu family, and the other was a person secretly sent by the Shi family to protect Shi Nantian.
When Liu Bailin saw this scene, she immediately cried out with tears in her eyes: "Dad!"
However, compared with Liu Bailin's misery, Shi Nantian curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Uncle San, why are you here? Didn't I say that I would go out alone to experience this time!"
"Hmph, you stinky boy never considers the consequences of doing things on weekdays. How can your father trust you to go out alone to experience."
"Just like this time, if I hadn't come out in time, you would have died here today and no one would know!"
Shi Zhen immediately scolded his nephew, looking like he was disappointed with him.
Hearing the scolding of his uncle, Shi Nantian had to shrink his head in dismay and dared not talk back.
However, the atmosphere of the Liu family suddenly became solemn.
Two elders of the Liu family surrounded him, and Liu Bailin's father Liu Santong's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
"Hongyuan, the family treats you well, why do you want to betray the family?" Liu Zhan asked coldly.
Liu Hongyuan clenched his fists, and he sneered, saying disdainfully: "Treat me well? If the family really treats me well, I should have achieved the foundation-building stage 22 years ago!"
"It's just because of my background that the foundation-building pill was given to Liu Haide."
It turned out that Liu Hongyuan was not from the direct line of the Liu family. His father was an outsider cultivator who married into the Liu family.
Although he also had half of the blood of the Liu family, he was obviously not as qualified as Liu Haide, who was a direct line at the time, to take the foundation-building pill.
The other two elders of the Liu family just kept silent, didn't say much, and didn't deny this fact.
At that time, there were three people in the Liu family who were qualified to take the foundation-building pill, Liu Haide and Liu Hongyuan were among them.
Even if we only talk about cultivation, Liu Hongyuan entered the late stage of Qi Refining faster and had a more solid foundation.
However, the one who had the right to distribute the foundation-building pill was the head of the previous generation, Liu Haide's uncle, after all, they were more closely related by blood.
Seeing that the two were silent, Liu Hongyuan continued to sneer:
"I could have tolerated it just like that. Later, in the battle with Liangguo's immortal cultivation world, I made many achievements, and even my only offspring with spiritual roots died on the battlefield."
"At that time, Liu Haide, who took away my qualification to take the foundation-building pill, promised me repeatedly that the family would find a way to raise a second foundation-building pill for me."
"As a result, this preparation took more than 20 years, and there was not even a shadow of the foundation-building pill!"
"Now that I have finally collected a Rongyuan fruit, the family secretly let my niece Bai Lin take it to Tianhe Market without telling me. I am curious, why is this?"
At this point, Liu Hongyuan's fists creaked.
As soon as the three words "Rong Yuan Fruit" came out, even the two people from the Shi family next to them were slightly moved.
In today's world of immortal cultivation, although most of the foundation-building pills use the demon cores of second-level demon beasts, the main ingredient of the original foundation-building pill recipe is Rong Yuan Fruit!
Shi Zhen glanced at the people from the Liu family with some surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that the Liu family could still get the almost extinct Rong Yuan Fruit.
But it was obvious that the next thing was the private matter of the Liu family, and it was not easy for him, an outsider, to stay here.
"Nantian, leave here with me!" Shi Zhen called his reluctant nephew away.
In response, Shi Nantian still wanted to continue listening. He was very interested in the secrets of other families.
But since his third uncle had spoken, Shi Nantian had to leave honestly.
"Fellow Daoists, I won't bother you with your family affairs. I'll visit the Liu family again when I have the chance. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Shi Zhen clasped his fists towards the Liu family members, then quickly left with his nephew.
After all, it was about the main material of the foundation-building pill. Even if he was not too interested in it, it was hard to guarantee that the two late-stage Qi-refining cultivators of the Liu family would have any bad intentions in order to keep the secret.
Seeing Shi Zhen leave, Liu Zhan and Liu Santong looked at him gratefully.
Then, they once again locked their eyes on Liu Hongyuan, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Brother Hongyuan, you have to know that every decision of the family is for the betterment of the family!"
Liu Hongyuan laughed disdainfully: "Hahaha, bullshit for the betterment of the family, the betterment of the family, can it make me better?!"
"Don't think I don't know that my niece Hanyue suffered a great setback in exchanging for the foundation-building pill in Tianhe Sect. I'm afraid that the foundation-building pill made from this Rongyuan fruit will not fall into my hands at that time?"
"Hahaha, it's really ridiculous. I, Liu Hongyuan, have paid so much for the family and made countless contributions and hard work, but now I have ended up with such a result!"
"Hanxin, it's really chilling!"
After the voice fell, Liu Hongyuan's eyes were completely filled with anger and murderous intent.
He waved his palm violently and directly activated the Jade Seal, a top-grade magic weapon, with all his strength!
Buzz!
Circles of emerald green ripples that could reduce the magic power of cultivators swept out immediately, which were even more powerful than the ripples that attacked Shi Nantian and Liu Bailin just now!
Seeing this, Liu Zhan and Liu Santong's faces changed slightly, but they were not too panicked.
Obviously, they had made sufficient preparations to deal with Liu Hongyuan's betrayal.
The next moment, the two of them used their protective magic weapons!
However, to their surprise, Liu Hongyuan, who was so aggressive just now as if he wanted to die with them, took away the magic weapon without thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Hongyuan's figure disappeared from the spot!
"Wood Shadow Escape?!"
When Liu Zhan saw this scene, his eyes darkened. He was bluffing and trying to escape.
"Hmph, don't think you are the only one who can use Wood Shadow Escape!"
"Lin'er, give the storage bag to your uncle Zhan, and then recover your spiritual power as soon as possible and return to the family."
Liu Santong's eyes turned cold. His daughter almost died in Liu Hongyuan's hands. He obviously didn't want to let him go easily.
As soon as the voice fell, Liu Santong's figure also disappeared from the spot.
In this way, some trees in the mountains and forests began to shake abnormally.
If someone were to observe, they would find that the shadows of these trees became very strange, some looked like human figures, and some looked like trees.
Wood Shadow Escape, this is a unique skill of the Liu family, and it is very useful in such terrain!
The older Liu Zhan did not learn this escape technique, but after taking the storage bag from Liu Bailin, he chased after him as soon as possible.
There was a traitor in the family, and for such a shameful thing, the Liu family was determined to eliminate the other party.
If he really betrayed the family and lived freely, the Liu family would really have no place to put his face.
Liu Bailin looked at this scene, and his tense spirit finally relaxed.
On the other side, Li Qing, who had no intention of watching the show, fled far away.
After making sure that he was far away from the battlefield of the Liu family, Li Qing released the rice bucket from the beast bag again, and then rode the tiger and ran towards the direction of Tianhefang City.
