Chapter 374 Betrayal
Si Chun looked around, all her previous relief vanished.
Seeing that everyone, including the monk Bu Chi, had been tricked into the barrier by Qin Xin and then swallowed by the Yellow Spring Swamp, she felt lingering fear and regret, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing the furnace master present, any disciple of the Tribulation Yuan Palace would assume that he was an elder who would bestow protection.
If Jieyuan Palace doesn't harm Jieyuan Palace, the furnace master will likely intervene to save the remaining people.
Even if the focus isn't on saving people, at least it won't cause harm.
As for those poor souls who missed out, it was simply bad luck, and had nothing to do with the furnace owner.
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Bi not only did not help, but also lured the remaining people into the barrier together with Zhou Nanchu!
If it weren't for that barrier that blocked our escape route.
The remaining few are the elite of the elite; they might actually find a way to escape.
But now, they've fallen victim to their own people.
The furnace master, who was worshipped by the entire Jieyuan Palace, actually became an accomplice in framing his own people.
The monk Bu Chi and Chen Feng's group are still alive, but they probably won't live much longer.
Si Chun looked around; now only two forces remained.
One side consists of the Holy Realm, a powerful combination of Zhou Nanchu and Cheng Bi!
On the other side was himself, and a helpless child!
"What should we do!" Si Chun was anxious and wanted to call out to Su Yun, but then she put her hand down.
He was exceptionally talented and possessed many magical treasures.
But in the face of absolute power, none of these are of any use!
This is the old lair of Red Apricot Cliff, a secret realm that exists outside the boundaries of the Heavenly Origin Realm and the Tribulation Yuan Palace Domain.
Two more Saint Realm experts were watching, and countless powerful figures were eyeing them covetously.
If it's a situation where multiple parties are holding you back and you can't take action.
Su Yun can also use leverage against others, relying on his extraordinary abilities or hidden connections to arouse fear and make people hesitant to act against him.
But now, being in someone else's home, even with helpers, it's probably too far to do anything!
"Oh no, I'm afraid we're going to die here?" Si Chun gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter's father is the Iron-Boned Elder of Dengrongtai."
"I am willing to offer the prescription and all my possessions."
“My daughter has no prior grudges or ties with Hongxing Cliff.”
"I hope the Cliff Master and the Furnace Master will show mercy."
Zhou Nanchu said, "Iron Bone Furnace Master is indeed a remarkable person."
Si Chun was delighted. Could this be a game?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Nanchu's expression changed drastically, and she sneered, pointing out, "He is... a servant of the Desolate Corpse Emperor."
"She is a subject of the Faceless Emperor."
"He, the Great Emperor Jie Jin, is apparently his nephew?"
"He is a member of a branch of the Divine Prison Emperor's family..."
The more Zhou Nanchu spoke, the paler Si Chun's face became.
Which of those who came to raid the Yuan Mansion was an easy target?
Every student is a top-notch elite in their own field!
It has countless connections with the emperor of its realm.
And they were able to withstand the world's rejection and force their way into the Red Apricot Garden.
They were among the most elite of the elite.
They were either ministers of the emperor, or his trusted descendants, or even relatives, connected by blood!
What is Si Chun?
She's just the daughter of a furnace owner, nothing more!
The furnace master possesses the Wisdom Furnace, which has unique characteristics and is someone even the Great Emperor wants to recruit.
The ability to recruit such powerful individuals demonstrates the Emperor's supreme authority!
Zhou Nanchu sneered and said her last words: "What difference does your status make compared to theirs?"
Si Chun's status is different from those students who were beaten to death or imprisoned.
Her identity is only valid within the Jieyuan Palace, which is far from sufficient!
"I..." Si Chun's face turned pale, knowing that today's events were unlikely to end well.
She turned her head with difficulty, seeking one last glimmer of hope: "Master Furnace!"
Cheng Bi glanced sideways at the last resister in the arena.
Si Chunxin's heart trembled, and she tried her best to keep her voice calm: "The Master preached today, and all the students perished."
"If word gets out, it might damage the reputation of the furnace master!"
Her eyes flickered as she made one last attempt.
All the students today entered Hongxingyuan only after hearing the teachings of the Master of Xuncaoge.
Several people died outside simply because of the world's rejection of them.
The disciples of Jieyuan Palace are all elites, even the weakest ones who are squeezed to death.
In the lower realms, they might be elders of a sect, stewards of a family, or ministers of a dynasty.
If they die so easily, those realms will also express their dissatisfaction.
Perhaps out of fear of the Lord of Jieyuan Palace and the forces behind him, they will not act rashly.
However, it is still quite possible that they will secretly cause trouble and carry out retaliation.
Those who can withstand the world's rejection and enter the Red Apricot Garden today.
Every single one of them is a strong individual, the elite among elites.
If they are all lost, the situation will become even more serious and difficult to resolve.
Zhou Nanchu and Hongxingya are not part of Jieyuan Prefecture; they are partners.
They may not care about the Emperor's retaliation, but the furnace master needs to consider it!
Si Chun, clinging to her last hope, looked at Cheng Bi.
Zhou Nanchu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Master, the matter of the Immortal Blood Medicine must not be spread outside."
The Immortal Blood Medicine will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many, who will try to seize it.
If Hongxingyuan only had high-grade spiritual medicines, relying on the world's rejection of the secret realm, the major powers would not be willing to take action after weighing the pros and cons.
Entering the secret realm will suppress your cultivation, making your efforts less effective.
However, if the Red Apricot Garden contains the Immortal Blood Medicine, then its nature is different.
A connection to immortality is rare, and the Great Emperor will pay attention to anything related to immortals.
The Great Emperor has reached the end of his cultivation path. He could live for countless epochs, but he will eventually die.
Without becoming an immortal, there is no eternity.
The Emperor has already experienced the mortal world; everything in the world is merely a toy he can mold and control at will.
I've long been tired of everything that's readily available.
If the Immortal Blood Elixir could offer even the slightest possibility of achieving immortality, the Great Emperors would not hesitate to sacrifice everything within their realm.
As long as they know that Red Apricot Garden contains the Elixir of Immortal Blood, the Great Emperors will do anything to bring it under their control, no matter how much it costs.
Therefore, when Zhou Nanchu took out the Immortal Blood Medicine, he already had the idea of killing everyone present and using them as fertilizer.
He hadn't expected that the Immortal Blood Medicine could actually cure him, restoring him to his peak condition, or even better.
Zhou Nanchu and Cheng Bi reached a cooperation agreement to share the benefits brought by Zhe Shawei.
Hearing Si Chun's words, he spoke up to remind her.
The Immortal Blood Medicine is far more valuable than the reputation of the furnace master!
Cheng Bi remained expressionless, glancing at Qin Xin.
Qin Xin immediately understood and ascended down.
Soon, using spiritual power as a thread, they pulled up a cultivator who had fallen badly.
He was parasitized by vines, and all his major acupoints were pierced, causing him both pain and itching.
In addition to feeling sad, she had all her spiritual energy drained and fell to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Later, he was also disturbed by the secret techniques of Hongxing Cliff, which made him drowsy and caused his body to convulse uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the fact that the cultivator's physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, and that the vines were intentionally sustaining his life so that he could be used as a dissection instrument.
They're probably long dead, their souls have returned to the Western Paradise.
Si Chun frowned. What was going on?
Swish!
A red light flew from Cheng Bi's fingertip and struck the cultivator's heart.
Her voice was icy: "Who said they're all dead?"
"Ah—!" The cultivator let out a scream. His body, which had lost all strength due to the parasitic vines, began to struggle wildly again.
He let out a painful howl, his whole face contorted in agony.
"Red Talisman!" Si Chun's face turned deathly pale, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart vanished.
Hongxingya invited the students here, partly to find a way to cure Zheshawei, and partly to resolve Hongfu's abnormal pain!
This kind of restraint can control cultivators and make them work for one's own purposes.
If anyone refuses, the attack will immediately erupt, piercing the heart and tearing out the bones; even death is a form of mercy.
With this method, Red Apricot Cliff can plant red talismans on the bodies of surviving cultivators and then release them into the outside world.
With this constraint, even though they had escaped with their lives, they could only keep silent, and none of them dared to mention the Immortal Blood Medicine.
Hongxingya and Chengbi acted with meticulous care, clearly having already calculated the outcome.
The death of a few students will certainly cause some turmoil.
However, as long as the others cooperate, the conflict can be shifted.
No one would bother to cause trouble for the furnace master and the small secret realm.
Zhou Nanchu smiled and said, "That's exactly right!"
"Young lady, for the sake of the furnace master, quickly hand over the prescription."
"I can allow you to take the painkiller first, so you can avoid the pain of the red talisman!"
Now, not only are we watching ourselves, but the world is also rejecting us.
A woman named Si Chun, and the child who brought calamity to Red Apricot Cliff.
There will be nowhere to escape!
The only one who can stand up to them is the master of the furnace, with whom they have a close and seamless partnership!
hum!
At that moment, Zhou Nanchu felt a chill run down his spine.
His eyes widened suddenly, then he roared in fury: "Traitor!"
boom!
A powerful suction force appeared behind him, and even Zhou Nanchu, who was at the Saint Realm, was pulled back and staggered.
He turned his face away angrily and saw a huge light.
Wow!
A massive spatial gate suddenly appeared behind them.
