"Is that so?" Chu Chen's eyes were staring straight at Gongsun Liangcai, like a sharp sword ray.
"Chu Chen, what's wrong?" didn't understand and asked. Just now, Chu Chen was still normal, but why did his face change all of a sudden?
"Good talent. I, Chu Feng, should treat you well, no?"
"It's not bad, no matter whether it was when you founded the Spirit Sect or now, you have never treated me unfairly. Chu Chen, why did you suddenly say these words, something does not seem right." Gongsun Liangcai laughed dryly, wanting to break the frozen atmosphere.
"Since you're not weak, why did you want to harm me?" Chu Chen suddenly shouted and his voice immediately grew louder, causing both Bai Yuhan and Gongsun Liangcai to shake at the same time.
"Chu Chen, you think that the good talent will harm you?" Bai Yuhan's face was filled with surprise. The reason for the sudden change, was it because he noticed something?
"There's something wrong with this goblet of wine. Furthermore, there's something big going on. Even I didn't realize that there was something wrong with it from the start." Chu Chen said as he glanced at Bai Yuhan, then shifted his gaze towards Gongsun Liangcai: "You better give me an explanation."
Gongsun Liangcai's face stiffened, he tried his best to maintain his calm, and revealed an embarrassed smile: "Chu Chen, what are you talking about, why do I not understand, I bought this wine from the outside, how could there be a problem, and it would not harm you."
"You're still lying to me. Do you really think I'm a three year old child?" Chu Chen's voice was incomparably cold and detached, and a cold aura emerged from his eyes, causing Gongsun Liangcai to tremble inwardly when he took a glance.
He had seen through it and could not continue to lie. He was very clear about Chu Chen's character.
Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Liangcai retracted his smile and looked straight at Chu Chen: "You're right, but I have a question, how did you discover it?"
"Gongsun Liangcai, you really wanted to harm Chu Chen. Is there a problem with the wine?" Bai Yuhan's surprised face, suddenly turned cold. What Chu Chen said was right, Gongsun Liangcai actually wanted to harm him.
A few days ago, Bai Yuhan had already noticed that something was wrong with Gongsun Liangcai. There were a few times when he openly requested for the Spirit Sect to elect a new boss or rely on other forces. Although he had noticed something at that time, he did not expect Gongsun Liangcai to do something like this.
"I didn't discover it. It was it." As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a very small Demonic Beast appeared beside him. It was the little wolf.
Gongsun Liangcai came to visit late at night, saying that he was wishing to defeat Pu Jingtian tomorrow.
Since it was a blessing, and they even brought fine wine, why didn't he call Lion Devil, Fang Qu, Su Yingxue and the others over?
When he saw Bai Yuhan at first glance, Gongsun Liangcai's reaction was stunned, a look of hesitation appearing in his eyes. To Chu Chen, who was good at observation, this could not be a lie.
When Gongsun Liangcai came to the table and sat down, and spoke, his eyes did not dare to look Yun Che in the eye. This made Chu Chen certain that there must be a problem with the place Gongsun Liangcai had come to tonight.
Until just now, when Gongsun Liangcai had raised his glass to drink, Chu Chen was sure that there was a problem with the wine. However, the one who realized this was not him, but the little wolf.
Amongst the Storage Ring, the little wolf released a series of hurried, low growls, conveying the news that there was something wrong with the wine.
If the little wolf were to act in such a manner, Chu Chen would not be so sure, but adding that he had already discovered that something was amiss with Gongsun Liangcai, he could basically be certain that there was a problem with the wine.
The cold shout from before was also purposefully giving Gongsun Liangcai some pressure, he never thought that Gongsun Liangcai would admit it.
Gongsun Liangcai's eyes narrowed. It was not Chu Chen himself who saw it, it was this Demonic Beast. According to his knowledge, Chu Chen had never had a Demonic Beast, so where did this little wolf pop out from?
"Now, what else do you have to say?" Chu Chen asked coldly, his eyes staring straight at Gongsun Liangcai.
"I have nothing to say, but I was forced to do so. I did not think that I would harm you." Gongsun Liangcai shouted.
"You've pledged your allegiance to Wolf Fang? They told you to do it? "
It was obvious that he had some sort of relationship with Pu Jingtian, and Pu Jingtian, on the other hand, had quite a good relationship with Wolf Fang. Both of them were in the same group, and it was Wolf Fang who bribed Gongsun Liangcai, or it could be said that they were both Pu Jingtian's friends.
Gongsun Liangcai's face changed. He did not need to say it, Chu Chen had already guessed it right.
"That's right. After I found out that you died, I turned to Wolf Fang. Without you, the Spirit Sect would have perished one day. However, I didn't expect that you would actually return."
Gongsun Liangcai had always been an expert in scheming, but now, in front of Chu Chen, he realised that all excuses were useless. Chu Chen was too smart, he had guessed everything.
"You also killed Chong Ning?"
Chu Chen's body already revealed a trace of killing intent, as it invisibly trapped Gongsun Liangcai. But because he knew that had died, Gongsun Liangcai chose to rely on Wolf Fang, and had never made it public, clearly because he was worried about Bai Yuhan, and wanted to cooperate with him from the inside and completely destroy the Spirit Sect.
I misjudged this person. I can only blame myself for not being able to see through his fake mask.
"I didn't kill him." Gongsun Liangcai immediately denied.
"It seems that you don't want to expose everything. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to be courteous to you." Chu Chen's body flickered, he instantly rushed to Gongsun Liangcai's side, his hand aiming straight for Gongsun Liangcai's neck.
"What do you want?" Gongsun Liangcai was shocked. Chu Chen's speed was too fast, he did not even have the chance to dodge.
"You want to kill me? Why are you asking me now? What a joke. Of course it's to clean up the mess." Chu Chen laughed out loud, his spirit energy rushing forward, the power in his hands doubled, almost to the point of suffocating.
"There's a problem with the wine, but you aren't sure that it's poisonous right? How can you be sure that I'm going to kill you? As for Chong Ning, he was also not killed by me. If you want to kill me, you have to think about it, this is inner court.
Gongsun Liangcai used all of his Origin Energy to resist Chu Chen's palm as he struggled to speak with a painful expression. So what if he was seen through, so long as he did not admit that he wanted to kill someone, what could Chu Chen do to him?
This was also Gongsun Liangcai's only chance. If he grabbed it, he would be able to live.
"You want to play this with me?" Chu Chen sneered, "You think a mere rule like that could stop a person that I, Chu Chen, am determined to kill? At most, it would just close the Thunder Valley, but I want you to give up completely."
After he finished speaking, Chu Chen's soul force dispersed, and a white arc of light suddenly shot into the wine cup. Under the refinement and decomposition of the soul force, the wine completely evaporated, and that strand of soul force was also then withdrawn by Chu Chen.
"Blazing Desire Grass, Meridian Shattering Pill."
Chu Chen's eyes turned cold. The Flaming Desire Grass was a type of medicinal herb, and the Meridian Destroying Pill was a type of profound beast with incomparable poison. Once consumed, the body's meridians would gradually crack, and the worst case scenario was that it would erupt only after a night's rest.
Gongsun Liangcai mixed the Flaming Desire Grass and the Meridian Shattering Pellet together. Very clearly, after Chu Chen drinks the plan, it was very likely that he would make a cruel move against the inner court's little brother.
During the competition the next day, with all the meridians broken, at that time, Chu Chen would also die in a bad name, and no one would bother to investigate the root cause.
This plan could only be described as ruthless.
"You even used a rare medicinal herb like the Burning Desire Grass, as well as a pill as vicious as the Meridian Shattering Pill. Isn't this what you meant by wanting to kill me?" Chu Chen asked Gongsun Liangcai coldly, causing his expression to freeze.
Whether it was the pill or the medicinal herbs, once they were crushed, they would melt into liquid or be refined into pill. To distinguish the materials required a strong soul force to decompose them bit by bit.
The reason why Gongsun Liang seized on the excuse that he didn't want to kill Chu Chen was because he felt that although Chu Chen knew that there was something wrong with the alcohol, he didn't know what was inside.
However, Gongsun Liangcai did not expect that after all his scheming, at this moment, it had all gone down the drain. Chu Chen actually used his soul force to separate the wine, and even said out the Burning Desire Grass and Shattered Pulse Pill.
In the Spirit Sect, it could be said that he understood Chu Chen a lot, but he didn't know that his soul force was this strong.
"You said that you didn't want to kill me and thought that I wouldn't dare to touch you. But now, the truth is right in front of your eyes, you want to kill me, and now I'm going to kill you. After that, the elders won't blame me for anything, right?"
Chu Chen's voice was incomparably cold and detached, and killing intent had already surged in his heart. If it was only a nerve numbing poison, then it would still be alright.
Tonight, Chu Chen will not let Gongsun Liangcai go.
