I, Chu Xinghe, Will Help You Come Up With an Even Bolder Plan!
Watching Chu Xinghe refine pills with his own eyes was a real treat for Wu Erhan...
And right before Wu Erhan's eyes, Chu Xinghe's refining process finally reached its final step. At the very moment the pill was activated, lightning flashed across the sky!
Divine pills...
As expected, Chu Xinghe always uses divine pills...
Both are divine pills, but the divine pills refined by the Muyue Kingdom do not attract lightning because the divine pills of the Muyue Kingdom are still somewhat different from the ultimate divine pills refined by Chu Xinghe.
Even the highest-grade pills refined in the Muyue Kingdom rarely produce a lightning strike.
However, once Chu Xinghe's elixir is born, it will be the ultimate of the ultimate, and it will surely attract a tribulation of lightning!
As the tribulation lightning dissipated, the divine pill was formed. Chu Xinghe grabbed the divine pill in his hand and then walked directly to the side of the Wuj iang Holy Mother under everyone's gaze.
The elixir transformed into a stream of light in Chu Xinghe's hand and entered the body of the Wuj iang Holy Mother. As the divine elixir entered her body, the Wuj iang Holy Mother's originally pitch-black body gradually began to return to its normal color.
Seeing this, Chu Xinghe slowly nodded and said, "It's done. The Holy Mother's snake venom has been neutralized, and she will soon fully recover!"
As soon as Chu Xinghe finished speaking, Wu Erhan hurriedly stepped forward to observe. Seeing that the poisonous gas on her body had dissipated and she was even beginning to regain her Wuj iang Holy Mother, Wu Erhan's expression looked slightly unnatural.
But Wu Erhan quickly said, "Lord Xinghe's alchemy skills are truly unfathomable! He can even cure the venom of the Nine-Eyed King Serpent. It's something I've never heard of or seen before!"
"Chief Wu Erhan, you flatter me. It's their problem if others can't cure the Nine-Eyed King Serpent's venom, but I, Chu Xinghe, can easily do so. Don't you agree?"
"Ah... right..." Wu Erhan said, walking to the side as well.
Just as Wu Erhan turned around, Chu Xinghe spoke again, "Chief Wu Erhan, in my opinion, the Holy Mother will be fully recovered in about half a day, so... the time left for Chief Wu Erhan may not be much!"
"Lord Xinghe... what... what do you mean by this...?"
"It's meaningless. Once the Holy Mother awakens, as long as she tells Xinghe that it was indeed Wu Erke who attacked him, then Chief Wu Erhan, you won't need to attack West Ridge. Our Vast Heaven Holy Land will personally kill Wu Erke and everyone involved in this attack. Chief Wu Erhan, you should prepare in advance. Once Wu Erke is destroyed, you will be taking over West Ridge..."
Chu Xinghe spoke with a smile, but upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Wu Erhan's previously calm face began to break out in a cold sweat.
"So Chief Wu Erhan will soon be able to take control of the entire Wuj iang. You must be very happy!" Chu Xinghe said slowly again.
But this time, not only Wu Erhan, but all of Wu Erhan's men around him looked at Chu Xinghe with flickering eyes.
"Happy... happy..." Wu Erhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Wu Erhan, aren't you going to make a move? If you wait any longer, once the Holy Mother awakens and the Big White, you'll really have no chance!"
Chu Xinghe stared at Wu Erhan with a faint smile on his face.
"Chu Xinghe, what... what do you mean... I... I don't understand..." Wu Erhan's gaze swept over all his subordinates, as if he had already made his decision!
"Don't understand? Alright... I, Chu Xinghe, especially love listening to stories, and I also love telling stories. How about I tell you a story I just made up, and see if it's right?"
"Whether the merging of Wuj iang into Vast Heaven Holy Land is a good thing or a bad thing is hard to say, but as the leader of East Ridge, what you care about is who will control Wuj iang in the Future... handing it over to that inexperienced little girl, Feng Yuqing? As the leader of East Ridge, can you accept this?"
"But that's the Vast Heaven Holy Land after all. You, Wu Erhan, aren't stupid. You know that in the face of the Vast Heaven Holy Land's power, neither you nor your East Ridge are able to resist... So you secretly approached the Holy Mother many times before, hoping to manage the entire Wuj iang before Feng Yuqing inherits Wuj iang, so that both East Ridge and West Ridge would become your subordinates. But the Holy Mother... her thinking is too old-fashioned. She actually rejected you, her top general, time and time again!"
"What makes you think you have the right Wu Erhan? I've shed blood for Wuj iang, so why can't I control East Ridge and West Ridge? If Wuj iang is handed over to you Wu Erhan, you can use the time to forge Wuj iang fortress. Even if Feng Yuqing wants to take over Wuj iang in the Future, she'll only be holding the title of King of Wuj iang, while you, Wu Erhan, are the true King of Wuj iang... But have you forgotten that the Holy Mother has controlled Wuj iang for so many years? Doesn't she understand what kind of person you are Wu Erhan?"
"The Holy Mother knew your thoughts all along, but because you had contributed to the Wuj iang, she was too lazy to expose you!"
"To be honest, you, Wu Erhan, are quite clever. After your request was rejected, you wanted to resort to drastic measures. But you also know that although East Ridge is powerful, it won't be easy for them to take West Ridge in a short time. Even if they could, would Vast Heaven Holy Land let you off the hook? So why not use someone else to do the dirty work? Let West Ridge make the first move?"
"You withheld most of the resources originally intended for West Ridge, giving West Ridge only a very small amount. But Wu Erke is very stubborn, just as you expected. Given his personality, he won't go to argue with the Holy Mother; instead, he'll bring the people of West Ridge to cause you trouble. The moment Wu Erke makes his move, half of your plan to use someone else to do your dirty work will have succeeded."
"If you completely shift the blame for the internal strife to West Ridge, the best outcome will be that the Vast Heaven Holy Land will be furious and wipe out Wu Erke without any regard for the facts. In that case, you will take over the entire West Ridge and become the true King of Wuj iang... The worst outcome is that the Wuj iang Holy Mother will personally come to handle this matter."
"But given the level of trust you, Wu Erhan, have in the Holy Mother will surely believe you and send you to suppress West Ridge. In this way, although you cannot use someone else to do your dirty work, you can still become the King of Wuj iang with the power of East Ridge. However, everything went as you expected, except for the Holy Mother. You did not expect that this time the Holy Mother did not completely trust you, but instead chose to go to West Ridge to inquire about the reason."
"Once the Holy Mother arrives at West Ridge, all your plans will be exposed."
"But you Wu Erhan, are so clever. You foresaw all of this long ago. You secretly abducted their guardian totem beast, the Nine-Eyed King Serpent, from the West Ridge long ago!"
"Why don't you just go all the way and use the Nine-Eyed King Serpent to try and poison the Holy Mother, then pin all the blame on West Ridge? After all, the Holy Mother's death and the wrath of the Vast Heaven Holy Land are something West Ridge can't withstand."
"But you never imagined that I, Chu Xinghe, could actually revive the Holy Mother... So, isn't my story exciting?"
Chu Xinghe finished speaking in one breath. At this moment, Wu Erhan's eyes were bloodshot, and all of Wu Erhan's subordinates around him were also filled with murderous intent!
Looking at Chu Xinghe before him, Wu Erhan felt as if he were being stared at by a monster. Was this the cunning and scheming Chu Xinghe?
How could he possibly know so much?
"Are you wondering how I know? It's simple. You underestimate my Chu Xinghe Voodoo Arts. You told me that after the Holy Mother was poisoned by snake venom, you immediately notified the Vast Heaven Holy Land. But let me tell you, my Voodoo Arts clearly tell me that the Holy Mother has been poisoned by snake venom for a full two days!"
"Alright... perhaps I misjudged the situation these past two days, but you, Wu Erhan, kept shouting that you wanted to kill your way to West Ridge to steal the Nine-Eyed King Serpent's gall to save the Holy Mother. Where were you all this time? You knew all along that this was the antidote, so why did you wait for me to come?"
"Fine... even if all of that makes sense, that Earth Chief has exposed you again... Wu Erhan, I once heard Sister-in-law Jiuli say that you once obtained three top-grade Earth Chief, which you treasured like precious gems. Even if you used some in your cultivation, it's impossible for you to have used all three. But you're telling me you can't find Earth Chief? Haha... isn't that hilarious!"
"Enough!" Wu Erhan's face was contorted with rage. He never dreamed that his meticulously planned and seemingly flawless scheme would be so easily exposed by Chu Xinghe!
"That's not enough, Wu Erhan. Now I'll give you two choices: bind yourself and wait for the Holy Mother to wake up so you can deal with it yourself. Then we'll see if the Holy Mother takes pity on you and lets you live... Of course, you have an even more exciting option... take me, Chu Xinghe... I, Chu Xinghe, am just a Ninth Rank, while you, Wu Erhan, are Martial God. You also have several Half-Step Martial Gods under your command. If you join forces, killing me Chu Xinghe, shouldn't be difficult. Then you can blame West Ridge for killing me!"
"Of course! The bolder the man, the greater the harvest... If you were even bolder, you could completely capture me, Chu Xinghe. Believe me, as long as I'm still in your hands, even the Vast Heaven Holy Land wouldn't dare to touch you in the slightest. The Vast Heaven Holy Land will grant you any reasonable or unreasonable request. You could even empty the Vast Heaven Holy Land of its coffers, you wouldn't be without a chance!"
Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, even that fool Wu Erhan showed a hint of attraction on his face!
"Chief, don't listen to his nonsense! Our only way out is to kill him!" One of Wu Erhan's Half-Step Martial Gods didn't say much. He swung his warhammer, which left a terrifying afterimage, directly at Chu Xinghe!
The enormous phantom of a warhammer instantly locked onto Chu Xinghe's head, but facing the falling warhammer, Chu Xinghe remained seated and motionless...
Just as the warhammer was about to strike Chu Xinghe's crown... a blade of light appeared in the void!
The blade light carried a strong aura of death. In the blink of an eye, the head of the Half-Step Martial God who attacked Chu Xinghe fell to the ground!
After the flash of the blade, everything returned to calm. The blade seemed to come from beyond the realm, and its owner could not be seen at all!
"Snap!" Chu Xinghe snapped his fingers lightly and then said, "Kill them!"
As soon as Chu Xinghe uttered the words "Kill them," countless blades suddenly appeared in the room. With each flash of light, one of Wu Erhan's men fell...
This blade of light is the scythe of death! Nothing can stop it in its path!
As Wu Erhan watched the constantly appearing blades of light, he knew at that moment that these blades came from the Dark Moon Clan, a race whose existence was said to be so powerful that even the Main Gods might not be able to sense them!
Chu Xinghe came to Wuj iang alone? Knowing full well that the Wuj iang Holy Mother was in trouble, he went alone?
What? Do you think Chu Xinghe is an idiot, or do you think the Grand Elder is an idiot?
Why did the Wuj iang Holy Mother get into trouble? The Grand Elder told Xinghe to save people first, but whether the Wuj iang Holy Mother was in trouble or not was unknown. However, the Grand Elder absolutely could not allow Xinghe to suffer any mishap.
So, although it seemed that Chu Xinghe went to Wuj iang alone, the entire Dark Moon Clan was actually hidden around Chu Xinghe. No one but Chu Xinghe could see the existence of the Dark Moon Clan.
With the entire Dark Moon Clan by Chu Xinghe's side, let alone Wuj iang, even if you send Yuan Ying in person, the Great Sage can ensure that Yuan Ying never returns for the rest of his life!
The Grand Elder was incredibly shrewd and calculating. He sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard about the incident with the Wuj iang Holy Mother! Would he really give a guy like Wu Erhan, who was all brawn and no brains, any chance?
Whether it was Wu Erke or Wu Erhan who caused the chaos was completely unimportant to the Grand Elder; what mattered was the safety of Xinghe!
Countless of Wu Erhan's companions fell before Wu Erhan. Wu Erhan's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to fight to the death, but before he could even make a move, the Great Sage slapped him into the ground!
Wu Erhan lay on the ground, his face filled with despair. Just as Wu Erhan was in despair, Chu Xinghe walked over.
"Wu Erhan, I have even more despairing news for you. Actually... the pill I just used couldn't save the Wuj iang Holy Mother; it could only delay the onset of the poison. And the effect of that pill was merely to make Holy Mother appear normal... Of course, I do have a cure for the Nine-Eyed King Serpent, but it's too troublesome to refine..."
"You've delayed the Holy Mother for too long. If she were really waiting for my elixir, she might not have made it in time. If you had stubbornly denied it just now, I really wouldn't have been able to take action against you... But since you admitted it yourself, it saves me a lot of trouble... I can just ask you for the Nine-Eyed King Serpent's gall bladder!"
