Chapter 100 - Crafty Escape Plan, Desolate Land
"Zhao Hede! You ruined my plan!"
Jiang Yuncheng angrily shouted.
In his mind, the hatred in the fairy's eyes before she left could be seen.
It was over!
It was all over!
Not only did he not obtain the token, the beauty was also gone!
"How so?"
Zhao Hede only coldly snorted.
Qin Wentian sighed. "Second brother Jiang, you are still too impatient. If we waited for them to leave the Gu Immortal Sect's territory, you might be able to succeed."
"Stop running your mouth."
Jiang Yuncheng's expression was unfriendly, and he vented all his emotions on him.
He didn't dare to provoke Zhao Hede. Even when the eight of them fought together, they weren't able to defeat him, so how could he have the confidence to challenge such an existence?
At that moment, he could only take this loss.
He didn't expect that so many famous forces would come this time.
In the end, the thing was taken away by someone from a reclusive clan.
Even if they wanted to try and see if they could share the item, they didn't know where to start.
The eight of them felt a little melancholy in their hearts. However, what was even more difficult for them to accept was the battle with Zhao Hede.
So many Fusion Realm experts had joined forces, yet they were still defeated by Zhao Hede in such a short period of time. It was truly...
Sigh!
It would be a disgrace if word of this got out.
Jiang Yuncheng and Qin Wentian remained silent as they departed with heavy hearts.
The others could only bid their farewells one after another, no longer having any conflicts with Zhao Hede.
Zhao Hede could see the expressions on their faces.
After everyone left, the corners of his lips curled up.
"Little junior's crafty escape plan was truly exceptional."
Following that, he walked into Fanshu City.
Not long later, he found Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou, who had changed back into their clothes.
"How is it, Senior, they are not suspicious, right?"
Li Tongzhou asked immediately.
"Neither of you have appeared by my side, they have no reason to be suspicious."
Zhao Hede smiled warmly. "This time, I obtained what Master wanted, and the other forces have not shown any hostility towards the Gu Immortal Sect. Little junior should take the credit."
Fang Yuan's voice was weak. "I don't care about the credit, I am feeling bad for that Divine Escape talisman. It was originally meant to protect my life, sigh..."
Using the Divine Escape talisman completely emptied him out.
The seven to eight meters deep liquid spirit essence sea in his acupoints was left with only a shallow layer. He didn't know how long he would need to cultivate to recover it.
The majestic spirit essence was Fang Yuan's guarantee to fight enemies of a higher level and to continue fighting.
If he didn't have the liquid spirit essence, he wouldn't be able to fully activate the power of the talisman to deal with hundreds of people.
Zhao Hede patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll tell your second senior later. If there are enough materials, he'll make another one for you."
Fang Yuan forced a smile. His head sank and he fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Hede was shocked and quickly helped him up. After an examination, he found that it was only the exhaustion of his spirit essence that caused his body to weaken. He was fine.
Li Tongzhou also heaved a sigh of relief. "Senior Fang hasn't had much rest these few days. Shall we let him have a good sleep?"
"Yes, let's talk outside."
Zhao Hede gently placed him on the bed, covered him with the blanket, and left quietly with Li Tongzhou.
When they came out, Li Tongzhou handed the token to Zhao Hede.
"Martial Uncle Zhao, Senior left this thing with me previously. Now that the matter has been settled, it's better to send it back to the sect as soon as possible so that it won't be too late."
Zhao Hede nodded and said, "That's true. I'll head back to the sect soon. You take good care here."
"Of course, I will…"
Li Tongzhou laughed, and he rubbed his hands. "Martial Uncle, you see, this token cost a lot of primeval stones, and Senior Fang and I also helped to pay for it, so..."
Zhao Hede did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, when we return, I will naturally ask Master to reward you."
"Thank you Martial Uncle for your kind words!"
Li Tongzhou bowed, then his eyes turned, and he said, "But for this token, Senior Fang missed out on a Gold quality Gu worm, it is truly a pity. If it is possible, Martial Uncle, why don't you ask the sect master to reward him with another Gu worm of the same quality?"
"Don't worry, Little Junior has done a great deed in this mission, I will naturally tell master the truth."
Zhao Hede gave Li Tongzhou a deep look. He felt that Li Tongzhou was a good person, but he did not say anything more and said his goodbyes.
...
...
When Fang Yuan woke up, a day had already passed.
After he sorted out his thoughts, he sat up.
Li Tongzhou was sitting on a chair not far away. He narrowed his eyes as if he was also resting.
Fang Yuan did not disturb him and walked out of the room.
Now that the matters of the sect had been settled, the only thing left was the enmity between him and Zhang Wenbin, as well as the trouble with Vice City Lord Xu.
After doing all this, he could return to the sect and help Wan Qian clean up the cold poison once more.
He did not know what reward the sect would give him.
Fang Yuan was still somewhat looking forward to it. Last time, his master had helped him get the fire congealing fruit that could increase his cultivation efficiency. Could it be a high-grade Gu worm this time?
It was a pity that he did not get the True Heart Gu at the auction.
The main reason was that he did not expect the premium for a support Gu worm to be so high. A few people fought over it and the price soared.
However, if he forcefully got the True Heart Gu, he would not have had enough primeval stones to buy the subsequent token.
It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Fang Yuan turned around and went to room number four opposite his room, using the True Sight Gu to look inside.
Zhang Wenbin was not there.
Thus, he turned around and went downstairs, asking the front desk manager.
In the end, the other party clearly said that Zhang Wenbin did not go out, at least not through the main door.
Fang Yuan immediately had a plan. He guessed that Zhang Wenbin went to look for Bai Yao again.
He injected a wisp of spirit essence into the sealed Yearning Gu. Instantly, a vague feeling appeared in his mind.
It was as if there was a guiding force that was pushing him in a certain direction.
Fang Yuan knew that it was Bai Yao's location.
He followed his senses and left Fanshu City, entering the mountain forest.
Gradually, he arrived at a desolate land.
The air was filled with the smell of death and blood.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly. How could there be such a place outside Fanshu City?
The feeling in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. He seemed to be very close to Bai Yao.
Could it be that Bai Yao was refining Gu here?
With her methods, it was normal for her to have such a murderous aura.
At this time, the screams of the living were heard, and they were extremely painful.
Fang Yuan quickened his pace.
Not long later, an evil laugh came from ahead.
"Hahahaha, it's done, it's finally done!"
"As expected of the Gu Demon Sect's secret technique, it's so powerful!"
"Fang Yuan, so what if Gu Zhenren protects you!"
"With such a powerful Gu worm, even Zhao Hede can't do anything to me!"
Fang Yuan walked out from a corner of a cliff, laughing coldly.
"You really think highly of yourself."
