"...This was far too impossible to guard against. The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became." Bian Chunchou even felt his hair stand on end. "If I hadn't left the Rogue Cultivator Alliance back then, would they have simply silenced me?"
Or rather, had the original owner actually been silenced?
A chill crawled up Bian Chunchou's spine. Thinking carefully, though the original owner had been frail, since his adoptive father had been Shu Wenzhou, there was no way Shu Wenzhou would not have left his adopted son a secure path forward. So... could it really be true?
Wen Xu immediately furrowed his brow, unwilling to entertain such a possibility. Before he could speak, however, Chen Zui protested, "Why are you always building up others' prestige and crushing your own spirit? You're not dead now, so they should be the ones worrying. I'll help you when the time comes! Let's see who dares try to silence you!"
"That's right, you're right!" If the original owner had truly died at those people's hands, then he would certainly have to avenge him, as well as avenge his adoptive father for having his body stolen. How could he be knocked down by nothing more than a guess? "If that's the case, they began laying the groundwork far too early. Is this Pill Formation really only set up in Pill Fragrance City?"
Wen Xu thought that was not necessarily so. If it were only Pill Fragrance City, his master and the others might already have acted. Now, not even the slightest whisper from the outside could get in, which only proved that things outside might not be so peaceful either. But there was no need to say such things. For one, they lacked the ability; for another, they could not get out.
