Chapter 448: Mutual Schemes
"Isn't it just that you're afraid to face this reality?"

"Hahaha, I'm going to tell you anyway that your beloved died because of you!"

"She died because you didn't notice the poison in her!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Huo Jinchuan laughed arrogantly, wantonly provoking Chief Huo.

He wanted to make Chief Huo lose his mind, so that he could attract the insects and cause Chief Huo to go into a state of demonic possession!
But Chief Huo became strangely quiet, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated.

A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he asked meaningfully, "Huo Jinchuan, have you always thought that your slow progress is due to a lack of mental fortitude?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jinchuan's smile vanished instantly.

His eyes widened, his shock and anger reaching their peak almost instantly.

"You—you tampered with it???"

Huo Jinchuan was greatly shocked. In his previous life, he had fallen ill at the end, which caused him some psychological problems.

That's why he always felt that his mentality wasn't strong enough and he couldn't change, which affected his leveling up.

But Chief Huo's words undoubtedly told him that it wasn't his problem!

"Huo Yang!! You old bastard, what exactly did you do to me?"

Huo Jinchuan's mentality collapsed for a moment. He simply couldn't believe that his efforts over the past few hundred years had been maliciously imprisoned.

But Chief Huo just smiled cruelly.

"What could I do? I just transferred the poison from Meng'er's body to you."

"You extended Meng'er's life, so you must also inherit the toxins, right?"

"Hahahaha—you say I failed to detect Meng'er's poison, but what about you?"

"You've lived for hundreds of years, have you ever noticed?"

"Hahaha--"

Chief Huo laughed loudly, feeling that Huo Jinchuan was a joke.

The poison in Meng'er was very insidious; otherwise, it wouldn't have been discovered only during childbirth, by which time it was too late.

The alchemist also clearly stated that if Meng'er did not have children, she would not be poisoned.

At the very least, we can survive!
So how could he not hate Huo Jinchuan?

Now, Huo Jinchuan himself is experiencing the pain of the poison. With such great talent and such good fortune, his progress is slow...

They deserve it!
"Huo Yang—"

Upon hearing this fact, Huo Jinchuan felt as if a string in his heart had snapped completely.

"You're not human! You're not human!!!"

He's their son! How could Huo Yang poison him the moment he was born?!

That's absolutely vicious!

"Hmph, the only reason I've kept you alive until now is to revive Meng'er, but you've joined forces with outsiders to destroy her. So your death is inevitable."

Chief Huo smirked, his eyes appearing clear yet sending chills down one's spine.

"You—you're a madman!"

Huo Jinchuan roared and launched an attack on the Huo clan chief, looking utterly ridiculous.

Chief Huo sneered, clearly determined to kill. He raised his longsword and aimed it at Huo Jinchuan, who was lunging at him.

If this sword strikes, Huo Jinchuan will surely die.

However, the next second, the spiritual energy within his body suddenly became chaotic.

In the blink of an eye, it surged about like a rushing wave, darting about uncontrollably.

His meridians swelled up instantly, and the pain caused Chief Huo to cough up blood and become mentally unstable.

Huo Jinchuan, who had been acting crazed, instantly regained his senses, took out his magic weapon to break the formation, and fled quickly. He disappeared in no time.

He had long known that he would one day fall out with Chief Huo, so he always carried many escape tools with him. Now it seems that all his preparations were correct!
Emerging from the secret passage, he nervously glanced around before choosing a direction and fleeing at full speed.

Although Chief Huo's spiritual power temporarily surged, it didn't cause him to go mad, so the riot wouldn't last long.

He had to escape as fast as he could and couldn't let that old bastard catch him again!
However... the poison in my body must be removed, otherwise I will be restricted for the rest of my life.

A figure suddenly flashed through Huo Jinchuan's mind—it was Song Wanning.

Song Wanning possesses superb alchemy skills and astonishing luck; she must have a way to detoxify herself.

He must find Song Wanning and use the promise of helping them leave the Central Region as bait to get her to refine pills to cure his illness.

She'll definitely agree in order to save her life!
……

Inside the secret passage, Chief Huo had finally managed to stabilize the turbulent spiritual energy. His killing intent was now almost tangible, and his dark eyes were filled with menacing malice.

"Damn it, it actually tampered with me?"

Chief Huo's heart sank; his intuition told him that Huo Jinchuan must have done something to him.

But he couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, and this discovery made him uneasy.

If we don't find it, it's like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"It must be a time of divine punishment..."

Only when he was busy dealing with the heavenly lightning could Huo Jinchuan have an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Chief Huo felt a little embarrassed as he recalled what he had just said to Huo Jinchuan.

They even mocked Huo Jinchuan for not realizing he was poisoned, only to be proven wrong themselves, truly losing face!

He closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and thoroughly sorted out the spiritual energy before taking out the map again.

The red dot on the map is still moving rapidly, but it looks much slower, suggesting that the injury is quite serious and has affected the speed of escape.

Chief Huo's eyes held a cruel glint, as if Huo Jinchuan were a monster struggling before its death, desperately trying to escape.

But once they're in his hands, no one can expect to survive.

He grabbed the map and chased after them at top speed.

……

Inside the Demon God's Tomb, Song Wanning had found a place to rest for the time being. The Demon God's Tomb was vast, but almost nothing grew there, and after wandering around for several days, she hadn't seen a single sign of life.

She decided not to rush on her journey and instead took a rest.

She took out the Three Lives Mirror from her storage ring and finally had time to examine it closely.

From the outside, the Three Lives Mirror seems unchanged, but it can now automatically generate maps of intruders.

No, it's not just the intruders, it's the map of the entire spirit world.

It even clearly marks the name of each location, as well as the greatest potential dangers, etc.

This must be some kind of function of the system.

The Three Lives Mirror devoured the system and absorbed its energy, which is how it evolved new functions.

Song Wanning's lips curled up slightly. Now, no matter where Huo Jinchuan hid, she could easily find him.

It truly is a divine artifact, incredibly powerful!
only……

Song Wanning frowned suddenly, staring curiously at Huo Jinchuan's location, a look of doubt in her eyes.

Huo Jinchuan's location suddenly shifted rapidly, the red dot jumping around constantly, looking extremely panicked.

Is it possible...

Did Chief Huo really go after him?
