"Help, save me—"

When Zhong Lidao stuffed all the treasures in the ring into the storage bag, and then prepared to retreat, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help from beside him.

He turned his head to look, and saw that the source of the sound was the large ball of flesh that had been cut in half with his sword.

Zhong Lidao stepped forward and used his sword to pick open the outer sac of the meat ball, revealing what was wrapped inside—Ji Chengsong, who had returned to normal at some point, was lying in it.

"Why did I save you?" Zhong Lidao said lightly.

"Because, because I don't want to die yet—" Ji Chengsong said, vomiting a mouthful of blood, as if he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

Zhong Lidao pointed to the outer disciples who were slaughtered by the demons under the ring, and sneered: "You don't want to die, do they want to die?"

Ji Chengsong was stunned, his eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't seem to know what the scene in front of him had to do with him.

Zhong Lidao saw his doubts, sighed, and briefly described what happened after he became a demon.

"How can this be!" Ji Chengsong was shocked when he heard this, and his face couldn't bear it, "I hurt them?"

Ji Chengsong's reaction was beyond Zhong Lidao's expectations, Zhong Lidao thought that he would say expressionlessly: "The reason why these people will die is because their strength is too poor, what does it have to do with me?

"Could it be that he wanted me to save him, so he deliberately pretended to be unbearable. Zhong Lidao thought like this, staring at Ji Chengsong's eyes tightly, but found that the other party's eyes were extremely sincere, as if he was really annoyed that he had hurt his fellow disciples.

Zhong Lidao didn't know that although Ji Chengsong had a withdrawn personality and stayed in the Blood Sword Gate for a few years and didn't make any friends, he was not the kind of person who loved to kill at the beginning.

Ji Chengsong was born in a small mountain village, when he was herding cattle in the mountains at the age of six, he was discovered by Zhou Honghua, an elder of Jile Hall, who was passing by, and then he was taken back to Jile Tang to be cultivated as a medicine boy, and he also came into contact with Xiuzhen at this time.

Ji Chengsong's cultivation qualifications are only average, but since he was six years old, he was used by Zhou Honghua as an experimental subject for various drugs, and under the devastation, he gradually improved his perception of aura, and finally at the age of twelve, he found an opportunity to quietly steal a book of exercises from Zhou Honghua and practiced on his own.

Ji Chengsong groped by himself without guidance, and the progress of his cultivation was extremely slow, but the spiritual power in his body was also accumulating little by little. Although Zhou Honghua quickly noticed it, she didn't care, thinking that it was the result of some kind of drug experiment. In this sneaky situation, when Ji Chengsong was sixteen years old, he finally succeeded in entering the realm of foundation building.

At this moment, he couldn't hide the matter of his secret cultivation anymore.

After Zhou Honghua knew that Ji Chengsong had been hiding from him and cultivating in secret, she was extremely angry, so she threw Ji Chengsong into the blood pool at that time.

The blood in the blood pool is not human blood or the blood of other livestock, but the poisonous blood of the eight poisons, which is often used by the disciples in the Paradise Hall to practice poison skills.

Ji Chengsong's cultivation method was a trophy that Zhou Honghua snatched from other cultivators, not the practice of the Paradise Hall, so he had no tolerance for the poisonous blood in this blood pool.

But he survived.

Ji Chengsong soaked in the blood pool for three days and three nights, and it wasn't until Zhou Honghua went to collect the body that he found out that he was not dead. Although Zhou Honghua's anger had disappeared a lot at this time, he did not let Ji Chengsong go.

Now that Ji Chengsong has become a cultivator and is no longer an ordinary person, Zhou Honghua can experiment with some drugs with greater side effects on him.

Ji Chengsong's situation has not changed, the only thing that has changed is that he no longer has to cultivate secretly.

The real turning point was when Ji Chengsong was twenty-seven years old, when his cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building, and he was only one step away from entering the knot pill, but he did not have any pills in his hand that could assist him in knotting the pill, although he tried to break through the realm several times, but each time he ended in failure.

Ji Chengsong knew in his heart that if he wanted to succeed in marrying the pill, he had to get the pill.

Where can I find a sufficient number of pills?

Ji Chengsong suddenly had a bold idea.

Zhou Honghua!

As Zhou Honghua's exclusive medicine boy, Ji Chengsong naturally knew what Zhou Honghua had in his hands, and Zhou Honghua had been completing the knot for decades, so he didn't value these auxiliary pills for knotting pills very much, and he threw them in the warehouse on weekdays, and rarely counted the quantity.

Ji Chengsong plans to take a risk and steal all the pills he needs to get married!

The theft went extremely smoothly, and the people guarding the treasury didn't even ask Ji Chengsong a word.

After Ji Chengsong stole the pill, he quietly slipped out of the Paradise Hall, found a valley nearby, and began to retreat into the pill.

He originally thought that this time he would break through the realm smoothly, but he failed again.

Each of the pills used to assist in the knotting pill was highly poisoned!

"Boy, do you think I don't know your thoughts? Fight with me, you're still too tender!"

When Zhou Honghua appeared in front of Ji Chengsong, who was highly poisonous, Ji Chengsong's heart was full of despair.

Zhou Honghua took Ji Chengsong back to the Paradise Hall, nailed him to the rack with ten nine-inch-long steel nails, fed him poison pills every day, and collected poisonous blood from his body.

According to Zhou Honghua, he had already researched a new poisonous skill, but to cultivate this poisonous skill, he needed human blood that was more poisonous than the poisoned blood of the blood pool. So in the past few years, he has been waiting for Ji Chengsong to take the initiative to betray him, so that he has a legitimate reason to use Ji Chengsong to practice poison skills. After all, in the eyes of others, Ji Chengsong and Zhou Honghua have been together for decades, and the relationship between the two is extremely close, Ji Chengsong is like his personal disciple, if Ji Chengsong did not make a mistake and was treated like this by Zhou Honghua, then Zhou Honghua would have to be pointed at behind his back and gossip.

When Ji Chengsong had just stepped into the pinnacle of foundation building, Zhou Honghua's plan began.

At first, he deliberately asked Ji Chengsong to eat some pills that could reduce the aura when he was testing the medicine, completely cutting off the opportunity for Ji Chengsong to break through on his own, and then entered the warehouse, poisoned the pill, and told the guards that there was no need to check that Ji Chengsong took those things from the warehouse every time.

After doing this, Zhou Honghua's net was completely laid down, just waiting for Ji Chengsong to take the bait.

And Ji Chengsong was just as he expected, after many failed breakthroughs, he desperately stole the poison pill that he had already poisoned!
