Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

396: Soul Wounded”What was going on with that formation disk just now? How could that formation disk behave like that! Could someone be controlling it?”

Yue Xiaojie was the first to react, her eyes fixed sharply on Chen Tianming; she suspected Chen Tianming had tampered with it.

Chen Tianming was the closest, and his attention had been on that object the whole time.

Could all of this be Chen Tianming’s doing?

Wu Wenlong also thought of this possibility, and his expression changed.

”Brother Chen, you were closest to this formation disk; do you know anything about it?”

Chen Tianming shook his head and said, ”You are suspecting me, but this thing definitely wasn’t my doing. If you want to suspect me, then go ahead.”

Wu Wenlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he forced a smile and said, ”How could that be? How could I suspect you, Brother Chen?”

”That’s good.”

Chen Tianming didn’t say anything more and continued walking forward.

They had seen that the formation disk was a bit unusual just now, so no matter what, they had to find its weakness. No one could stop them.

Chen Tianming continued walking forward, and this time, they did not encounter any danger.

Seeing that there were no more poisonous insects around, Chen Tianming asked curiously, ”That’s strange. Logically speaking, the poisonous insects should be nearby.”

”Brother Chen, what do you mean when you say there should be poisonous insects here?” Zhou Xun asked, puzzled.

They had to know that they hadn’t encountered any poisonous insects along the way; in fact, it wasn’t even certain if such things existed here at all.

”Although those poisonous creatures from just now caused some explosions and harmed us, do you think someone’s plan would consist of just a single explosion?”

Listening to Chen Tianming’s suggestive words, Zhou Xun fell into an even longer silence.

Wu Wenlong wasn’t stupid either; he knew Chen Tianming was saying this on purpose.

However, Chen Tianming’s statement was absolutely correct; if it were a single person, they wouldn’t have such a plan.

Thinking of this, Wu Wenlong worried secretly.

If their physical condition was poor, or if they had been poisoned by something, they might die here.

The key was that they had run out of medicine in their hands.

”Sigh, Brother Chen is right. If there were poisonous insects, there certainly wouldn’t be an explosion of this magnitude. So, is someone watching our every move?” Zhou Xun said with a bitter smile.

However, it was useless to think so much now; they just had to hurry up and leave this place.

Yue Xiaojie spoke up, unwilling to let it go, ”What about these things?”

”Miss Yue can take them if she wants, but I won’t be responsible for any damages incurred.”

Chen Tianming directly relinquished ownership of these treasures, and Yue Xiaojie was instantly rendered speechless.

Thinking that these treasures were of little use to her and could only be kept, she agreed with Chen Tianming’s suggestion.

Because they weren’t feeling very well physically right now, they had to pause their journey and rest for a while first.

Chen Tianming and the others found an open space to sit down, and everyone prepared to take a rest.

Whether they were actually injured or not could only be known after their injuries had recovered, rather than by guessing.

Chen Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground to heal his injuries, circulating his martial arts to heal while refining the true qi inside his body.

The formation disk explosion just now had caused quite a bit of impact, so they all chose to heal.

Wu Wenlong couldn’t sit still in the end, so he found Chen Tianming, intending to have a private word.

”Brother Chen, be honest with me: do you think cooperating with Zhou Xun is better than cooperating with me?”

”Brother Wu, that’s a bit laughable. Isn’t it just about what you and I can bring to the table?”

Chen Tianming wouldn’t fall for the other party’s trap; from beginning to end, his goal had been very clear.

”I know Brother Chen wants to find that person, but you don’t even know what that person looks like yourself. It won’t be easy for us to find them, so you have to be understanding of me!”

”I’ve given you time, and you are free to search. In any case, these are the conditions I have. No matter what you choose, what I offer others is the same; it’s not directed at any one person.”

Chen Tianming spoke candidly; after all, he truly had no ill intent toward the other party. His conditions were the same for everyone.

Wu Wenlong also knew that Chen Tianming’s conditions were the same for everyone, but he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it in his heart.

It was clearly him who met Chen Tianming first; logically speaking, this treatment should have been his.

”Brother Chen, you are being a bit excessive. Can’t our relationship allow you to make such a concession?”

Wu Wenlong looked at Chen Tianming coldly.

He didn’t believe Chen Tianming would be so shameless as to deliberately lie to deceive people here.

Chen Tianming shook his head and said, ”I am being sincere. If Brother Wu wants to compete with me, you can find someone else.”

”Hmph, then I’ll just find someone else.” Wu Wenlong snorted coldly.

It was a clear tug-of-war. Chen Tianming didn’t care about Wu Wenlong’s thoughts and stared at Wu Wenlong with a calm gaze.

Under these circumstances, Wu Wenlong had no other options, but he still wouldn’t give up.

Zhou Xun noticed this scene and frowned tightly. He felt Chen Tianming’s strength; if they couldn’t get Chen Tianming to help, they definitely wouldn’t be able to get out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but say to Wu Wenlong, ”Wu Wenlong, stop making pointless challenges. When Yue Xiaojie appeared, you should have known that you no longer have any value in this mission.”

Hearing Zhou Xun’s such merciless words, Wu Wenlong felt somewhat broken.

”Zhou Xun, is this how you treat our friendship of so many years?”

”It is precisely because of our friendship that I am saying this to you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have any need to say such things to you.”

Even so, Zhou Xun ignored Wu Wenlong. If the other party kept dwelling on it, that was their own business.

After adjusting their breathing, everyone’s condition had recovered by half.

”Let’s set off immediately now; the crises we’ll encounter won’t be that many.”

Chen Tianming stood up and dashed forward.

Wu Wenlong, Zhou Xun, and Yue Xiaojie followed closely behind, rushing forward together.

Suddenly, a wave of killing intent attacked them.

Zhou Xun’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used his spiritual power to resist that wave of killing intent.

But he was still too late; he was hit by the killing intent, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

”Ah!”

Zhou Xun covered his chest and cried out in pain.

Seeing Zhou Xun injured, Wu Wenlong immediately rushed over, ”Zhou Xun, what’s wrong?”

Zhou Xun gritted his teeth and touched his chest where he had just been hit, but he didn’t feel any wound.

”No wound? Could it be an illusion?”

But the pain brought upon his body made him feel that it was all real.

”It’s not that there’s no wound, but that the wound is in another place, which is why you can’t detect it! The injury is on your soul!”
