Chapter 890: The human heart is never known
Fang Qiong and Zhu Yan's expressions were not very good-looking, after all, although the clansmen they sacrificed were already clansmen who had no more room for development, they were also the mainstay of the entire Wu clan, leaving only one Lan Zhi, and the injury was not light.
What made Chu Feng cry and laugh was that Bing Zhiqi didn't seem to be in a hurry to break through, and he sat firmly in the cold ice and never wavered, thinking that he wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to properly digest the fragments of the Condensing Knife in his body.
Chu Feng didn't bother, but entrusted Bing Zhiqi to Fang Qiong, Zhu Yan and others to take care of, and it was expected that there should be no big problem.
And the people of the Wu Clan watched Fang Qiong, Zhu Yan and the others return, it was a busy matter, so naturally there was no need to say more.
And Chu Feng hurriedly returned to the Wu Clan's settlement, entrusted Bing Zhiqi to the Wu Clan, and healed Lijuan, busy with the urgent things at the moment, and was just about to take a look at the situation on the side of Suolongtan, when he finally remembered a very serious matter.
He forgot about the spirit carrot in the demon world.
At that time, several people were in a hurry, and they had something on their minds, so no one remembered that they also had a spirit carrot with them.
When Chu Feng remembered, Chu Feng, Lijuan, and Chu Zi'er looked at each other even more, and then they all laughed.
Chu Feng hurriedly sent the calibrated cross-border talisman to Ling Hongluo, and he had to be glad that at that time, in order to facilitate the future convergence, he handed over the broken chisel of Liwan to Ling Hongluo, otherwise it would really be a big trouble to let Ling Hongluo come back at this time.
Fortunately, they didn't delay much, but half a day had passed, and Ling Hongluo didn't care too much about what she had forgotten, and when she came back, she just glared at Chu Feng fiercely, expressing her dissatisfaction, and then gave up.
After Ling Hongluo came back, she pestered Chu Zi'er and Lijuan to ask for a while, asking everything that happened clearly, but her face was a little strange.
Chu Feng looked at Ling Hongluo, wondering what Ling Hongluo was thinking, but Ling Hongluo had already looked around at the surrounding mountains and fields, and made sure that there was no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think it's a little weird?"
Chu Feng was stunned, knowing that Ling Hongluo should be regarded as the most delicate person among them, and the strangeness he said at this time was not conclusive, but he was afraid that it was not groundless.
Ling Hongluo paused before she whispered, "Isn't Lan Zhi's summons strange?"
Chu Feng thought about it, he had always felt that Lan Zhi's communication was a little strange, both in terms of time and content, it was a little difficult to explain.
Lan Zhi should know him, if he doesn't trust him, then why bother asking for help?
If you believe him, why make up facts like that?
Even if you don't trust him, but have the attitude of giving it a try, why not wait for a while after sending the message, but insist on continuing to rush forward during this time?
Lan Zhi's matter, there are too many doubts, Chu Feng can't figure it out.
But Chu Feng didn't doubt Lan Zhi's position, he thought more that it was the Wu clan's calculations, or some of Lan Zhi's thoughts.
But at this moment, as soon as Ling Hongluo said it, he also felt that something was wrong.
If it was really the witch clan's calculation, why did he use this way of self-destructing his strength?
Chu Feng hesitated a little and frowned slightly, but he didn't know how to explain.
Liwan and Chu Zi'er's reactions were sharper than Chu Feng's, and they actually had doubts in their hearts, but when Ling Hongluo said it at this moment, the doubts also rose, revealing a somewhat thoughtful look. But it's hard to say if they actually had something in mind.
"Master, as you said, the space in the Spirit Snake Cave is locked. Ling Hongluo's eyes widened, and she said word by word.
Linghongluo is very good at grasping some inconspicuous details, which is an instinct that she has cultivated over the years of her life.
She may not be sensitive to other schemes, but she has an astonishing instinct for this kind of intrigue.
This sentence immediately made Chu Feng fall into an ice cave.
The space under the Spirit Snake Cave is locked, and a more powerful space bridge like the Transgression Talisman can't be built, so how does the chisel transmit the message?
Chu Feng only felt a chill in his vest, and he looked at Lijuan and Chu Zi'er, both of whom looked incredulous.
"So...... The news came from before she entered the underground of the Spirit Snake Cave. Liwan's eyes widened, and he said with some difficulty, as if he was out of breath.
Before entering the underground of the Spirit Snake Cave, Chu Feng and the others were sure that Lan Zhi had not encountered any enemies.
All the people were attracted by Chu Feng and the others, and Lan Zhi and the others should have taken an unimpeded path.
Then why did she send this message before entering the Spirit Snake Cave?
"Master, do you remember...... Qin Xia seemed surprised that you didn't do anything to herβdoes that mean...... Qin Xia thinks that even Lan Zhi shouldn't know her identity?" Ling Hongluo asked again.
If it is said that Qin Xia has been in the Spirit Snake Cave for a long time and does not know the situation of the Wu Clan, then what about Qin Xue, Qin Xue should know, why does she feel a little surprised?
Does this mean that for the Wicans...... In fact, the identities of Qin Xia and the drama have never been exposed, and the only ones who know the true identities of the two of them are Fang Qiong, Zhu Yan, Qin Xue and Wu Lingfeng?
Where did Lan Zhi find out?
The more Chu Feng thought about it, the more he felt a cold sweat soaking through his clothes, making him feel extremely panicked for a moment.
Who is Lan Zhi?
What exactly is Lan Zhi doing?
Chu Feng didn't dare to think about it, because he found that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person he knew turned out to be so strange.
"There are still three years, three whole years for her to do nothing, why did she believe it as soon as you said it, master, and acted so simply and decisively, without any suspicion. Is it because she believes in you, master, or for some other reason?" Ling Hongluo asked again, causing a look of panic on the faces of the three of them.
Both Chu Zi'er and Chu Feng knew that Lan Zhi was not a person who would be unsuspicious for reasons of extreme trust.
Therefore, Lan Zhi's actions, I am afraid that there are indeed other reasons.
Ling Hongluo paused, pursed her lips, and then continued, "But she shouldn't have betrayed the Wu Clan. β
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?"
"If she betrays the Wu Clan, she doesn't need to act at all, as long as she doesn't believe your words, Master, she doesn't need to make such a big move at all. β
"So, I don't think she betrayed the Wu Clan. But apart from the Wu Clan, she has some connections with some other people, so she knows what is happening in the Spirit Snake Cave, so she also needs the help of the master - or rather, it's not that she needs it, but that person needs it. β
Chu Feng was stunned, looking at the spirit carrot, his expression was a little sluggish.
"So I'm more inclined to think that she made a swap with someone. There was also a hint of hesitation in Ling Hongluo's words, obviously not completely convinced of his own inference, after all, everything was their conjecture, and there was no evidence.
"Who?" asked Liwan as she blurted out.
"In this incident, whoever needs the master the most is who it is. Ling Carrot said dryly.
A name appeared in the hearts of several people in an instant, and almost at the same moment, several people blurted out: "Spirit Snake Prince." β
"Yes, I think it's the Spirit Snake Boy, too. Ling Hongluo said.
Chu Feng's brain was blank, and the look on his face when he looked at Ling Hongluo was more confused, and Chu Zi'er and Liwan's eyes were more shocked.
If you follow the inference of the spirit carrot, it is actually not without loopholes, not only there are no loopholes, but there are many more.
Chu Feng also paused, and then asked rhetorically: "If it is the Spirit Snake Princess's alliance with Lan Zhi, then the Spirit Snake Princess's and Lan Zhi should know that there are not many of us, and the cultivation is not high, if it weren't for the sudden rupture of the World Meditation Knife in Bing Zhiqi's hand, I am afraid that he would die in the hands of the Ghost Mansion at that time." β
Ling Hongluo couldn't help but be silent for a moment when she heard this, because this was indeed a huge hole, and it was difficult to completely fill it.
"But if you enter the Ninth Order, how sure are you that you can fight to a draw with the Spirit Snake Boy of the lower Ninth Order?"
Chu Feng thought for a while, and then said, "Although I may not be sure enough, I have the opportunity to give it a try." β
Since Chu Feng's cultivation recovered, it was difficult for the cultivators of the same cultivator to be Chu Feng's opponent, and Chu Feng almost always fought against his opponent across one or two small realms, so even in the face of She Junqun in the lower ninth order, he still had some confidence.
"So...... If you enter the ninth order, or take a ninth-order master, She Junqun will have no capital to coerce you. And once there is no capital to coerce you, his plan cannot be carried out. Chu Zi'er added.
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Chu Zi'er and Lijuan's analysis really seemed to have some truth, and there was not much difference from the facts.
"So he had to take a risk. Liwan asserted.
"It doesn't have to be an adventure. Ling Hongluo thought for a moment and added, "Master, do you remember the incident in the East China Sea, when you said that She Junqun once asked you to assassinate the Ghost Tower?"
Chu Feng was stunned again, and his expression became more and more frightened, could it be that since that time, he had already fallen into the calculation?
"I think at that time, She Junqun should be assessing your ability. When you were fighting with the Ghost Tower, She Junqun had been watching from the sidelines, I don't think he had been thinking about it for so long, and when it came to this most critical part, he would choose to watch from the sidelines, so he should also have a back move, and he could try to defeat the Ghost Tower. It's just that he didn't expect that at a critical time, Uncle Bing would break out. β
Ling Hongluo said, sniffing, obviously satisfied with her reasoning.
Chu Feng was silent for a long time, and asked the last question: "If she really joined forces with the Spirit Snake Prince, why did she act so urgently in the end, not just waiting for two days later?"
