Chapter 497: Dragon Vine
Mocking the Black Lotus, venting online, just one sentence made Wenren Shu fall silent.
Don't even mention it, you really shouldn't mention it, this possibility does exist.
The Wenren Family is currently deeply embroiled in the vortex of war, and it is possible that they rely more on the Beichen Family. It is also possible that the Beichen Family does not want to fulfill the marriage contract.
Moreover, Wenren Shu's identity has not been defined yet. Whether he is the culprit or the victim, because Wenren Shu has been hiding, the truth has always been elusive.
In fact, all the forces involved already have the answer in their hearts. Otherwise, Lengyue Feng would not have targeted Wenren Shu so clearly.
He locked onto the target and then collected the clues.
Unfortunately, he has found the Wenren Family's loophole, but underestimated the Wenren Family's determination.
When it's time to take action, the Wenren Family doesn't hold back at all.
And Lengyue Feng's roar, for those who doubt whether Wenren Shu is the culprit or the victim, can almost be determined.
Who would believe that Lengyue Feng died in the Wenren Family's territory for no reason?
It must be that something has progressed with Wenren Shu's situation.
However, without evidence, even if they all tacitly understand, there is no way to bring it up.
This also doesn't guarantee that the Beichen Family won't have any ulterior motives.
They specially sent a copy and specifically named that it must be handed over to Wenren Shu. Are they really trying to give Wenren Shu an opportunity, or are they trying to send Wenren Shu to his death?
After being exposed by the Black Lotus, Wenren Shu realized that once this idea arises, it cannot be suppressed.
Obviously, she also believes more in the Black Lotus's opinion.
However, seeing her father so happy, Wenren Shu didn't voice her doubts, just smiled and said, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely bring glory to our Wenren Family and to you."
"Good, if there's anything you need help with, just tell me."
"There is indeed one thing."
Wenren Shu took the opportunity to say, "Originally, I planned to meditate in seclusion for a few days, but the Blood Battlefield is about to open, and I still can't perfectly control my ghost clan aura, so..."
"I understand, I will bring it to you later."
Both father and daughter had smiles on their faces, as if they were anticipating a bright future.
But when Wenren Zhao turned and left, his expression became much darker.
Is the Beichen Family really so loyal?
After dealing with the Beichen Family for so many years, Wenren Zhao knows them better than anyone.
They are just a group of high and mighty rats, enjoying the offerings from the Wenren Family for many years. If they want to get something from their hands, they have to pay a great price.
Would they do good deeds?
I'm afraid this Secret Realm spot is not an act of goodwill.
However, Wenren Zhao has no other choice.
He can only pretend to be moved by the Beichen Family's loyalty, and he doesn't even dare to tell Wenren Shu.
He's afraid Wenren Shu will be upset.
However, Wenren Zhao has not given up yet.
The battlefield has not yet opened, and Wenren Shu still has a chance.
After leaving the secret base where Wenren Shu was placed, Wenren Zhao returned to his own home.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard his gentle wife crying and rushing towards him with tears in her eyes.
"Zhao Lang..."
"Shuang'er, what's wrong?"
Seeing his beloved so heartbroken, Wenren Zhao's heart also ached.
Wenren Zhao's second wife, Gu Qingshuang, was a delicate and gentle woman. She was wearing a white dress, with tears streaking down her face, her eyes red and swollen. There was a sense of broken beauty about her, evoking pity in anyone who looked at her.
"I heard that the Beichen family has sent a spot for the Secret Realm. Is Shu'er going on another adventure?"
"Don't worry, with Young Master Beichen taking care of him, Shu'er will be fine."
"Really? Can he not go? I've already lost Xuan'er, I can't lose Shu'er too."
Gu Qingshuang's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry again.
Wenren Zhao felt anguish in his heart as he held his wife in his arms, his gaze gradually turning dark.
"Shuang'er, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to our child."
After comforting his wife to sleep, Wenren Zhao cautiously made his way to an underground secret chamber.
The chamber was surrounded by secret enchantments, only accessible to those with the unique key.
As Wenren Zhao arrived, the chamber lit up with a bloody glow.
The chamber was sparsely furnished, with walls covered in various eerie and mysterious runes. Against the eastern wall, there was a shrine.
On the shrine was a pitch-black idol, made of an unknown material. At first glance, it gave off a sense of filth and terror, and prolonged exposure could cause one's senses to distort.
Wenren Zhao had a high level of cultivation and was able to withstand the mental impact.
As Wenren Zhao arrived, the idol emitted a sharp and piercing laughter.
"You've finally come, my good friend."
Wenren Zhao's face immediately turned ugly. He knew that he had been manipulated by these people all along, but they not only manipulated him, they also wanted him to know.
And he knew that cooperating with these anomalies would inevitably lead to the destruction of Myriad Tribulations, but he had no choice but to seek their help.
Compared to the future destruction of Myriad Tribulations, it was better to avoid the present disaster first.
"Your Highness."
Wenren Zhao felt humiliated, but still paid his respects to the idol.
The person behind the idol was not to be trifled with.
He was the Rakshasa Crown Prince, a Ghost Emperor-level powerhouse.
It is worth mentioning that he is the biological son of the Rakshasa Heavenly Ghost Sovereign, so his status in the Ghost Clan is also very high.
It should be noted that the Ghost Clan does not have children, so the children left behind before becoming ghosts are the only bloodline.
The Rakshasa Crown Prince is also a Ghost Emperor powerhouse, but he does not use the title of Ghost Emperor because the title of Crown Prince carries more weight than Ghost Emperor.
Even some Heavenly Ghosts who are not as powerful as the Rakshasa Heavenly Ghost Sovereign have to give the Crown Prince some face.
The Rakshasa Crown Prince is also the most trusted right-hand man of the Rakshasa Heavenly Ghost Sovereign. He helped establish the idol in the mortal realm and used his thoughts to descend upon the mortal realm, all with the assistance of the Heavenly Ghost Sovereign.
The Rakshasa Crown Prince does not hide this identity, and Wenren Zhao knows that he cannot be disrespectful to the Crown Prince.
"Alright, my friend, tell me what you want to trade. Let me guess, your daughter wants to appear openly in front of people? I can help you with that."
Wenren Zhao's face turned dark.
The matter of Wenren Shu becoming a ghost was all thanks to the Rakshasa Crown Prince's handiwork.
He knew all of this, but he was helpless and had nowhere to reason.
The Rakshasa Crown Prince left a divine thought in Wenren Shu's body. When Wenren Shu was in danger, he used the power of the Crown Prince to exchange for Wenren Shu's fall into becoming a ghost.
It was a transaction that Wenren Zhao couldn't refute.
He knew that all of this was the other party's calculation, in order to prevent him from leaving the Ghost Clan's ship of thieves.
Now, Wenren Zhao had resigned himself to his fate.
Wenren Shu's experience, he already knows, he doesn't think it's Wenren Shu's fault, those people deserve to die, especially the people from the Leng Family.
It's just her poor daughter, who has been subjected to so much humiliation, and now someone wants to harm her life.
"As for the perfect disguise, Your Highness, you don't need to worry. It's another matter. Shu'er has obtained a spot to enter the Blood Arena, and I can't refuse. So, I would like to ask Your Highness to secretly take care of her and protect her life."
"Interesting, interesting! It seems that your daughter has been eating well during this time. I have high hopes for her, and I accept your request! Coincidentally, I will also participate in this Blood Arena. Since you have asked me, I will personally protect her."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
This expression of gratitude is sincere.
The Rakshasa Prince is a Ghost Emperor-level powerhouse and the highest level that can enter the Blood Arena. Moreover, the ghost race is inherently stronger than other races. With the protection of the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, Wenren Shu will surely be safe and sound.
"I accept your request, so what price are you willing to pay?"
"I am willing to serve Your Highness like a loyal dog."
Wenren Zhao has nothing left to sell, so he can only sell himself.
The Rakshasa Prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "My old friend, when you first came to me for a trade, did you ever think that today you would have nothing left to sell? However, I am actually more interested in your other daughter. If you are willing to give me some useful information, I can spare you from being my servant. How about it?"
"Your Highness, I assure you that I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
"Very well, then let me ask you, if you wanted to kill Wenren Li, what method would be the most reliable?"
Wenren Zhao: "..."
The ghost race actually despises Wenren Li to such an extent, even the Rakshasa Prince is so concerned about her.
After thinking about it, Wenren Zhao decided to betray Wenren Li.
If Wenren Li doesn't die, he won't be able to sleep or eat in peace. It's just as well to let the ghost race kill her and save himself the trouble.
But to say that he knows how to deal with Wenren Li, that's pure nonsense.
Before, he thought Wenren Li was emotionally attached and cared the most about her birth mother, but in the end, he only gave her a clue and lost Wenren Tingyu.
At this point, Wenren Li has reached a state of ruthlessness and lack of morality. Such a person has no weaknesses.
Besides killing her head-on, what other methods are there?
However, the Rakshasa Prince may not necessarily know this.
Now, he can only try for now.
Wenren Zhao took out a scroll from his storage ring, unfolded it, and there was a portrait of a woman on it.
"This is a portrait of Wenren Li's birth mother. It's the only thing she cares about, and it might be useful in a critical moment of battle."
"A good prop, I like it."
After Wenren Zhao presented it, the scroll disappeared.
"Today's transaction is complete. However, my old friend, we will meet again in the mortal world at the latest in half a year. Look forward to it!"
Wenren Zhao: "..."
The ghost race is about to descend?
This news is truly shocking.
When the Demon Race and the ghost race were exiled, it wasn't because they were weak, but precisely because they were too strong and violated some kind of taboo existence.
And this time, if the Demon Race and the ghost race return, having learned from their previous failure, can the human race really defeat them?
Moreover, the human race is currently in internal turmoil, the battle is not over yet, and the Seven Pillars of Heaven each have their own ambitions. How can they resist the two demonic races?
Wait, is this something I should worry about?
He didn't help the Ghost Clan open the portal between the two realms, which is already quite conscientious, right?
Wenren Zhao had prepared himself mentally and was secretly considering whether or not to join the Ghost Clan's team.
When the ghost comes, it means it wants to eat people.
But now Wenren Shu has already boarded the thief ship, and he can't get rid of the Ghost Clan. So...
Thinking of this, Wenren Zhao once again returned to the secret room, unaware that the Prince of Rakshasa had never left and was waiting for him to turn around!
Asking him for help requires payment, but if Wenren Zhao begs to join the Ghost Clan, it's like offering payment for him to do things.
After being a ghost for so many years, the Prince of Rakshasa was already shrewd.
After the private conversation in the secret room, when Wenren Zhao returned, he no longer had the initial gloom and fear.
He felt that his future was bright!
Meanwhile, the lost evil spirits burst into eerie laughter.
"Why should humans like this be able to defeat our Ghost Clan?"
The Ghost Clan is not as arrogant as the human race, but the rule of survival of the fittest is openly displayed.
Unlike the human race, who speak of unity and mutual assistance on the surface but secretly calculate and harm each other.
Now is the perfect opportunity for the Ghost Clan to rise!
The various races in the human world are in turmoil due to the opening of the blood-colored battlefield, while Zhang Chi, who is in the Secret Realm, is trapped in a desperate situation without any support.
He believed that the enemies he could defeat, Wenren Li and others could easily defeat as well.
However, no matter how much he searched in the small forest, he couldn't find their traces.
Surviving alone in the Secret Realm was not difficult for Zhang Chi, after all, he was an expert at survival. Without the constraints of teammates, he could still live well.
What worried Zhang Chi was that they encountered something they couldn't solve.
Or perhaps they were transported to another place, and he couldn't find their traces through his guesses.
Zhang Chi could only rely on this stroke of luck, exploring while leaving his unique mark.
If they were still alive, they would naturally be able to find his message through the mark. If something happened to them, Zhang Chi could only resign himself to fate.
All he could do was to do his own things well.
Fortunately, there were no dangers in this forest. The most powerful enemy he encountered on the first day was the vine monster. The rest were just insignificant creatures. Under Zhang Chi's swordsmanship, some of the small animals in the forest ended up in Zhang Chi's stomach.
What surprised Zhang Chi was that after eating these small animals, he felt that the dragon blood in his body became more concentrated.
Indeed, this was a Secret Realm related to the Dragon Race, and treasures were everywhere.
However, Zhang Chi didn't dig up too many treasures to avoid slowing down his exploration progress.
He didn't reach out for things that weren't very valuable.
Until he saw a thousand-year-old medicinal plant called the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine.
This vine was completely red and shaped like a Flood Dragon, entwined around a tree, and had gained sentience.
Near the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine, there were carcasses of animals that had been attracted to it. This medicinal plant could find its own food.
And Zhang Chi's dragon blood resonated with this medicinal plant. The dragon blood he had obtained boiled with desire for the medicinal plant.
Opportunity and risk coexisted. Endure it, don't get too close.
Although Zhang Chi didn't sense any enemies nearby, he chose to retreat cautiously.
And at that moment, he heard a familiar voice.
"Here, there's actually a mature Crimson Blood Dragon Vine..."
