Chapter 160 Struggle

"What's wrong with you?"

In the guest room, Dian Ding looked at Dian Chu who was struggling in pain, and hurriedly asked.

Then he realized that the other party's current state seemed to have something to do with him.

"Brother, my head hurts so much!"

"It's okay, I'm here, just bear it."

Dian Ding's heart was bleeding at the sight of his brother's suffering, but he could do nothing but comfort him with words.

"Ah - I will listen to my brother and bear it all the time, ah -"

Dian Chu said this, but he was still tortured by the huge pain from his head.

"Lord Emperor, I can't betray you..."

"No, I'm the second in command of the Sea Demon Gang, what a bullshit emperor..."

"Ah - I can't be disrespectful to Lord Emperor -"

Dian Chu only felt that there were two voices in his mind colliding with each other, fighting fiercely, without caring about his life or death.

So much so that he couldn't bear it, and shouted out these two views to divert the pain brought by the collision between the two.

Fortunately, this room is well soundproofed, so Wang Changlin, who was traveling with him, would not hear it.

The Demon Cultivator Alliance issued an order not to make enemies with the Wang family for the time being, and not to let him know what happened.

Otherwise, if he informed Yuehua Xiancheng, it would be bad.

Dian Ding planned to keep Yuehua Xiancheng in the dark, and when the alliance army arrived, he would crush the so-called emperor's son to pieces.

But he really couldn't bear to see his brother suffer, so he left the room.

"Fellow Daoist Dian, I wonder if your brother's condition is better?"

As soon as the door was closed, Wang Changlin, who lived on the lower floor, appeared at the stairs and came forward to inquire about the situation.

Dian Ding certainly knew that this person seemed to care about his brother, but actually came to inquire about the situation.

After all, Dian Chu suddenly broke out during the voyage, and he would definitely notice something wrong.

"It's much better now, and I'm resting."

So he didn't tell the truth.

"That's good. I bought this Holy Blood Fruit when I was shopping just now. Maybe it will help your brother. I'll go and deal with the trade first."

Wang Changlin's expression remained unchanged. He took out a blood-red fruit from his storage bag, handed it to Dian Ding, and left.

After he walked away, Dian Ding raised the fruit and prepared to smash it hard, but thinking of the importance of the Holy Blood Fruit to physical cultivation, he gently put down his arm.

Although he hated Wang Changlin, there was no need to vent his anger on the fruit.

After putting away the Holy Blood Fruit, Dian Ding also left the inn and walked into the base of the Demon Cultivation Alliance with a clear goal.

The guard seemed to know him, nodded to him gently, and did not stop him, allowing him to walk in.

Dian Ding walked straight forward in this base and soon reached the innermost room.

"Boss Dian, Deacon Lu is entertaining guests, you can't go in now."

When he got here, someone stopped him, but now Dian Ding couldn't care so much, he kicked the wooden door in front of him and walked in angrily.

There were two people in the room.

One was the steward of this stronghold, Lu Yuantao.

He had never seen the other person before, but judging from his clothes, he should be a high-ranking member of the Demon Cultivation Alliance.

At this time, Dian Ding had realized that he was impulsive, but since things had come to this point, and thinking of his brother's miserable condition at the moment, he still shouted loudly: "Deacon Lu, I have done my best for the Alliance. The so-called recovery pill you gave me is useless. My brother's condition has become worse after using it!"

"Dian Ding did my best? The Alliance asked you, the Sea Demon Gang, to dig up the holy relics. What did you do? You made trouble and provoked the Wang family with the golden elixir and the mysterious Yuehua Fairy City, and let them know the Alliance's plan. Is this what you mean by doing your best?"

Lu Yuantao's face was as hard as iron. He was entertaining a distinguished guest, but Dian Ding came to disturb him at this time. It was simply unforgivable.

If he didn't want to make a fool of the distinguished guest, he would have slapped this man to death.

"This..."

Dian Ding was speechless.

Although the Wang family and Yuehua Immortal City only wanted to do business with the alliance and had no ill intentions, the efficacy of the holy object was indeed known to the two families.

It is not difficult to guess the alliance's plan from this.

This also forced the Demon Cultivation Alliance to postpone its counterattack plan against the Immortal Gate.

If the Demon Cultivation Alliance did not really need the Sea Demon Gang, a large-scale physical cultivation force, and seemed to have reached some agreement with the Wang family's Jindan cultivator, otherwise they would never have spared his life.

"Why are you still standing here? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Get out of here!"

Seeing Dian Ding's reaction, Lu Yuantao's disgust on his face became more obvious, and he waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly.

"Yes, yes."

At this moment, Dian Ding's blood had cooled completely.

He realized what he had done.

No matter what, Lu Yuantao was a demon cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and it was easy to kill him.

Although the alliance's top leaders said that his life was still useful, even if Lu Yuantao really killed him, there would not be any major consequences.

He was just an insignificant chess piece, and there were plenty of people in the Sea Demon Gang who could take his place.

"Wait a minute, the Rejuvenation Pill didn't work, that's interesting, can I go see your brother?"

Dian Ding was about to leave when he was stopped by the man he didn't know.

But his words made Dian Ding not know how to answer, and he just stood there in a daze.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you see the envoy asking you a question?"

Lu Yuantao reminded Dian Ding of this man's identity with an impatient look on his face.

"Oh, it's the envoy. Of course, no problem. My brother is still in the inn."

With Lu Yuantao's reminder, Dian Ding also nodded quickly and agreed to the man's request.

"Then lead the way. Deacon Lu, do you want to come with us?"

The envoy drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up, and did not forget to ask Lu Yuantao.

"I won't go. There are still some things to deal with here."

Lu Yuantao also stood up. His tone and attitude were completely different from when he spoke to Dian Ding. He was extremely respectful.

Then he turned to Dian Ding and said, "Why don't you lead the way for the envoy? I tell you, the envoy is of noble status. If you offend him, not to mention you, even the Sea Demon Gang will be wiped out."

The envoy just smiled, neither admitting nor objecting.

But this smile made Dian Ding's scalp numb, and he hurriedly did as he was told: "Yes, envoy, please come this way."

The two left the base of the Demon Cultivation Alliance one after another, returned to the inn, and entered Dian Chu's room.

"Ah——I am the dog of Lord Emperor——"

"What bullshit Emperor, I am the second in command of the Sea Demon Gang, ah——"

As soon as he entered the room, Dian Chu's voice went straight through his mind. If there were mortals here, they would probably see stars just by hearing this voice.

Fortunately, Dian Ding and the envoy were not ordinary people, so they were not affected much.

Seeing him like this, Dian Ding was worried and didn't care about being afraid. He carefully asked the envoy who followed him: "Lord envoy, do you know what's going on?"

"You said he used the Rejuvenating Pill?"

The envoy did not answer, but asked directly.

"Yes, yes!"

Dian Ding nodded like pounding garlic.

"That's it, his soul was once covered by another consciousness, and the Rejuvenating Pill awakened his original consciousness. The two consciousnesses struggled in his mind, and this situation occurred."

The envoy then expressed his judgment.

"Is there any way?"

Knowing the reason, Dian Ding was overjoyed and asked quickly.

"Of course there is. Let me take a closer look."

After saying that, the messenger waved his hand and Dian Chu stood still, motionless.

First update today, there will be another chapter next.
