Chapter 644 (2/2)

“Focus on the lightning pythons!” said the elder coldly, cutting off his words .

Gui Zong trembled and immediately shut his mouth . At the same time, he cut off his sensation of sound .

Long Chen’s gaze s.h.i.+fted, and he icily said, “Huo? So you were actually someone from the Pill Tower’s Huo family! Hm, the color of your face doesn’t match your neck . This kind of appearance-changing technique is far too lacking .

“Hehe, I know . You must have applied face-changing medicinal water . There was no problem before, but your mixture contained the Ninewood Poplar’s flower . Ninewood Poplar is extremely weak to thunderforce . Even just getting infected by a trace of its aura will cause it to break down . It’s no wonder your face has become so ugly . ”

The elder’s expression didn’t change, but he was incomparably shocked inside . This face-changing liquid he had used was an extremely particular formula . Even the people closest to him wouldn’t be able to tell who he was .

But Long Chen had managed to see through him . And his words were entirely right . This formula truly did contain the Ninewood Poplar’s flower .

Ninewood Poplar was most afraid of lightning . It was unable to survive outdoors, and only grew in covered places like caves . It was an extremely unknown kind of medicinal ingredient .

Although he couldn’t see his own face, he knew he was exposed . But he still didn’t say anything .

“Tell me, how could your Huo family be so shameless? You’re part of the Pill Tower, the representative of Pill Valley . But again and again, you partic.i.p.ate in the struggle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths . Are you really not afraid of Pill Valley’s investigation?” asked Long Chen .

“Hmph, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“Keep acting . Just how long can you keep acting? The Huayun Sect already has the Meridian Opening Pill-” Long Chen hastily shut his mouth .

“You… you know about the Meridian Opening Pills?! Speak, where did the Huayun Sect obtain the Meridian Opening Pill’s formula?!” raged the elder .

But then seeing Long Chen’s sinister smile, he immediately realized he had fallen for a trap .

“Hehe, as expected . The Huayun Sect’s Meridian Opening Pills haven’t been revealed to the outside world yet, because the Huayun Sect always sets things up in the best way possible, and they have to make all kinds of preparations .

“However, there are some people aware of it in the Huayun Sect . Considering how cla.s.sified this secret is, who else could you be but someone from the Pill Tower? Who do you think you were trying to trick? Wasn’t it your spies in the Huayun Sect that told you this?” sneered Long Chen .

Considering how enormous both parties were, it only made sense for them to have spies between them . Long Chen had intentionally acted as if his tongue had slipped, and as a result, this old fellow really had taken the bait and exposed himself .

“Brother Huo, there’s nothing to worry about . Even if Long Chen could grow wings, he can’t fly away today!” said one of the Corrupt Sea Expansion experts . He no longer bothered trying to cover it up .

The expert from the Huo family didn’t say anything . He simply helped the Corrupt experts block the lightning pythons . It went without saying that Sea Expansion experts were incredibly powerful . Long Chen didn’t know how they were doing it, but each wave of their hands released powerful astral winds that caused the lightning pythons to explode . They didn’t even have to use their true strength .

“Is Huo Wufang still alive?” Long Chen asked suddenly .

“Long Chen, your mouth is truly detestable!” raged the Huo family expert .

“Oh, it seems Huo Wufang has a close relations.h.i.+p to you . If you aren’t his daddy, then he’s your father . ” Long Chen suddenly realized he had misspoken, and corrected himself . “If you aren’t his daddy, then you’re his father . ”

“Long Chen, when this heavenly tribulation is over, I’ll definitely make you live a life worse than death, one you’ll beg me to end!” Killing intent erupted from the Huo family elder . He was clearly truly infuriated .

“Alright, then I’ll wait for you . ”

Long Chen smiled slightly, no longer saying anything . This elder had not been able to control his fury when he had mentioned Huo Wufang, meaning the two had to be closely related .

That made this matter extremely clear: everything that had occurred had been urged on by the Pill Tower’s Huo family from behind the scenes . As for Long Chen, he was someone the Zhou family, the Corrupt path, and the Huo family wanted dead .

Only the Huo family could use their status as part of the Pill Tower to give some pressure to the Xuantian Dao Sect . The Xuantian Dao Sect would also not wish to offend the Pill Tower over one disciple .

Sending a disciple to serve a penal sentence for three months in order to give face to the Pill Tower was worth it . To the Xuantian Dao Sect, this was just a minor matter . Furthermore, the four families had all been given benefits by the Pill Tower . The Shui family also considered this a small matter, and so there was no need to offend the Pill Tower . Even Shui Wuhen hadn’t had any solutions .

As for the Corrupt path, they were the ones who had killed all the Righteous disciples and stolen all the ore . In the end, all the guilt would be placed on them .

The Corrupt path was naturally not afraid of that . As long as they could kill Long Chen, they would be willing to do anything . Unlike the Huo or Zhuo families, they wouldn’t need to give an explanation for their actions .

Buzz…

Suddenly, the lightning pythons began to lessen . The Corrupt experts almost cheered in relief .

“Long Chen, get ready to die!”

The Huo family elder was just about to attack when he suddenly became absolutely still, and then slowly raised his head to look up at the sky .
