"Refuse to eat? If you don't want to eat, I can send you on your way right now!"
Lin Chen said nothing more and made as if to unleash the Spirit Sword Art again.
"Wait! Wait! I'll eat, alright? Isn't that enough?"
Seeing Lin Chen draw his sword at the slightest disagreement, Wu Gang had no choice but to pick up the dark-looking pill and swallow it whole.
For a moment, his throat was filled with various rustling things, as if they were indeed insect eggs!
"Now that's more like it."
"Don't worry, as long as you behave from now on, I'll give you the antidote on time."
"And, if you perform well, perhaps you'll become the next Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect!"
Seeing Wu Gang swallow the pill, Lin Chen immediately began to comfort him.
"Uh... Thank you, Master..."
Wu Gang's face was ashen, and his address to Lin Chen had changed directly.
He knew very well that from this moment on, although he was the Grand Elder of the Outer Court of the Blazing Fire Sect, he had also become the pawn of the young cultivator before him.
Calling him Master was not excessive.
"My name is Lin Chen. From now on, you can just call me Mr. Lin."
"Also, in front of outsiders, you will pretend not to know me."
"You are a smart person, you should know what I want to do, right?"
Lin Chen looked at Wu Gang and stated his requirements.
He believed that this Wu Tie was a smart person and would definitely understand his intentions!
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I understand..."
Wu Gang sighed and subconsciously agreed.
At this point, how could he not know what Lin Chen wanted to do? This was clearly trying to make him an inside informant to take down the entire Blazing Fire Sect!
"Oh, and by the way, I'm kindly reminding you that this Ten Thousand Insects Bone Corrosion Pill was personally refined by my master."
"Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage will not be able to detect any signs of your poisoning."
"You can try to guess what my master's cultivation level is."
"And also try to guess how I, with only my Core Formation early stage cultivation, was able to kill your Supreme Elder Wu Quan Gui!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen smiled mysteriously.
"This..."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Wu Tie was stunned.
Although he was useless, he was definitely not an idiot!
If cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage couldn't detect his poisoning, did he still need to guess the cultivation level of the person who refined this poison pill?
It must be a legendary Nascent Soul mighty figure!
Otherwise, how could it have such an incredible effect?
Coupled with Lin Chen's previous Core Formation early stage cultivation killing Wu Quan Gui, his methods could be described as miraculous. There must be a powerful figure and a great force behind him.
Otherwise, how could he possess a sword art with a soul attack?
"Alright, you're a smart person, you should know who is behind me."
"I'll say it again, work hard, and the future Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect will be you!"
"Senior Sister, retract the formation."
After finishing his instructions to Wu Gang, Lin Chen turned to look at Zhang Ying.
"Okay!"
Zhang Ying nodded and waved her hand. The Nine Stars Formation instantly disappeared from the sky, and she directly collected the formation and formation disks into her storage bag.
"Wu Gang, right? Memorize my phone number and keep in touch with me from now on."
"Remember to remind me every month to give you the antidote, lest I forget."
After Zhang Ying removed the formation, Lin Chen looked at Wu Gang again and instructed.
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Mr. Lin, your subordinate will remember!"
At this moment, Wu Gang nodded repeatedly, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Seriously, Lin Chen had already explained how terrifying the Ten Thousand Insects Bone Corrosion Pill would be when it acted up.
Even if Lin Chen didn't say it now, he would definitely find Lin Chen for the antidote on time in the future, wouldn't he?
"Here is my phone number. Memorize it and then leave."
"If Wu Zhixiong asks, tell him you separated from them while chasing me and got lost."
After giving Wu Gang the phone number, Lin Chen directly told him to leave.
"Yes."
Wu Gang agreed and slowly turned to leave.
After Wu Gang left, Zhang Ying approached Lin Chen with a face full of curiosity and asked proactively, "Junior Brother, this Ten Thousand Insects Bone Corrosion Pill, is it really my dad who refined it?"
At this moment, Zhang Ying was filled with curiosity. How could she not know that her father could refine pills?
And such incredibly effective pills!
"Hehehe, of course not. I've only seen this Ten Thousand Insects Bone Corrosion Pill in an ancient book, and I don't know how to refine it at all."
"However, the unknown is always the most terrifying."
"I learned this trick from Master!"
Lin Chen smiled mysteriously and explained to Zhang Ying.
Earlier in Zhejiang Province, when Master subdued the He family, didn't he also deceive the He family by saying he had given them some kind of poison pill to eat?
But in reality? It was clearly just a small mud ball he had casually rolled, with no actual effect whatsoever.
Yet, the He family now firmly believed it, and no one dared to have any second thoughts!
It was precisely because of this that he understood that such an "non-existent" poison would pose the greatest threat to others!
"Alright, Senior Sister, we need to get ready."
"The battle below the valley won't end so quickly. Hurry up and repair the formation."
"This time, we're going to be the real mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
Lin Chen stood on the mountain peak, looking down at the mist-shrouded valley below, with a cold smile on his face.
"Okay!"
Zhang Ying nodded and agreed.
As long as she was given enough time, repairing the formation would be no problem!
At the same time, Wu Gang quickly returned from the mountaintop to the depths of the valley and met Wu Zhixiong, who was directing the battle in the valley.
"Hmm? Grand Elder, why have you returned? Where is that young man who killed my son?"
Seeing Wu Gang return, Wu Zhixiong's eyes lit up.
Three late Core Formation cultivators went to chase a middle Core Formation youth; it was surely a sure thing, right?
"Reporting to Sect Master, the mist on the mountaintop was too thick, and I got separated from the Second Elder and Third Elder."
"That brat also disappeared. I was worried about Sect Master's safety, so I came back to protect you!"
"As long as that brat is in the secret realm, we'll eventually be able to kill him!"
Hearing Wu Zhixiong's question, Wu Gang quickly told Wu Zhixiong what he had planned.
"So that's how it is."
"But as you said, as long as this brat is in the secret realm, with so many of us, we'll eventually kill him!"
"It's good that you're here. Let's both make a move and kill this Dragon Winged Serpent first!"
"Once we kill the Dragon Winged Serpent, all the treasures in the valley will be ours!"
As he spoke of this, Wu Zhixiong's eyes were filled with greed.
Although Zhang Ying and Lin Chen had already collected half of the medicinal herbs, the remaining half in the depths of the valley were the truly rare heavenly treasures in the outside world!
As long as they obtained these medicinal herbs, even if the news of his father's death was revealed later, the Blazing Fire Sect would still have the strength to maintain its current situation!
