Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: What a Vicious Thought, Setting a Trap

Zhou Haozhe fell to his knees with a plop.

“Master, I’m innocent!” After saying that, he looked at Fang Qinyu with a pained expression.

“Junior Sister Fang, I didn’t expect that you would actually disregard our friendship as fellow disciples and get him off for an outsider. You actually framed me like this. What did I do to you?”

“Master, please believe me. I definitely didn’t do such a thing. Junior Sister Fang said this in order to protect Gu Xi. Now that Junior Sister has been bewitched by this Kid, she can’t tell right from wrong. This Kid is really detestable. Master, please punish him severely.”

Compared to Fang Qinyu, Fang Qingshan obviously believed Zhou Haozhe’s words more. After all, Fang Qinyu had previously said that she would use the Jade Dew to treat Gu Xi’s illness.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingshan became even more displeased with Gu Xi. His face was covered with dark clouds.

Zhou Haozhe saw all of this. The corners of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible arc, but the expression on his face was full of righteousness.

It was not in vain for him to think of a way to move those guards away. Fang Qinyu fell into the trap, but was completely unaware. She thought that she was lucky and did not attract anyone’s attention.

Little did she know that he was the one who secretly arranged everything,

‘I’m sorry, Junior Sister. This is for your own good.’

…

“Junior Sister, even if you hate me and frame me, for the sake of Moyu Tower’s safety, I have no choice but to expose you. This Kid is really too dangerous!”

Fang Qinyu was so angry that her face turned red. She looked at Zhou Haozhe, who had turned the truth upside down. “You!”

“Father, you must not believe the words of this villain. Even if I gave Brother Gu the Jade Dew, it was all because of him who added fuel to the fire –”

Before she could finish her sentence, Fang Qingshan flew into a rage. “Enough! Qinyu, I thought you were just a little willful and arrogant. I didn’t expect you to steal a precious treasure for an outsider and even frame a fellow disciple. Do you know what kind of crime this is?!”

Looking at the dark clouds on Fang Qingshan’s face, she was stunned. She had never seen him like this before. Fang Qinyu was stunned on the spot and almost forgot to refute.

“Father…”

Fang Qingshan looked at Gu Xi with killing intent in his eyes, “Men, pass down my order –”

Fang Qinyu seemed to know what he was going to say, “Father, don’t!”

Fang Qingshan just glanced at her coldly before saying, “This man seduced a disciple of the Moyu Tower and stole the most precious treasure. His crime is unforgivable. He will be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane, and then he will go to the clifftop to be punished by a month of lightning.”

Hearing this, the curve of Zhou Haozhe’s lips became wider and wider.

Fang Qinyu’s pupils constricted, and she said in shock, “Father, you are taking his life!”

Not to mention the punishment of the cane, Gu Xi was only an ordinary person and had lost all his cultivation. He could not bear the punishment of caning, let alone the punishment of lightning. Even a disciple with strong spiritual power would not survive the punishment of lightning for dozens of days.

Even if he survived, he would have lost more than half of his life. If it were Gu Xi, he would be turned into ashes in less than a day.

Fang Qingshan’s face was cold. “Do you know that there is only one drop of the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew every year? This bottle of yours has almost consumed a hundred years’ savings of the Moyu Tower. You have disappointed me greatly.”

“You should also reflect on yourself and watch this Kid be punished by the lightning! It will teach you a lesson!”

Fang Qinyu bowed and knocked her head against the ground, her forehead turning red. However, she could not change Fang Qingshan’s mind. He forced himself to turn his head and said coldly, “Men, take them away.”

Gu Xi looked at the disciples walking over and had already made a plan in his heart. He would summon Little Jin and Little Nine to protect him from Moyu Tower. At this point, there was nothing he could do even if he exposed Little Jin’s identity as a divine beast.

After all, regardless of whether it was the cane or the lightning punishment, based on his current physical condition, he would not be able to endure it. Perhaps he could wait until he was on the road to the punishment before taking action. At that time, there would not be so many people, so it would be much easier.

At this moment, a disciple rushed over with a hurried expression.

“No, not good, Tower Master!”

“What’s the matter? What’s making you so anxious?”

The disciple swallowed his saliva and stammered, “Bugs, bugs! There are so many Winged Golden Black Bugs!”

Hearing this, Fang Qingshan’s expression changed drastically, “What! How did the Winged Golden Black Bugs come to us?”

Although the Winged Golden Black Bugs were very aggressive, they were all active in the vicinity of the Phantom Forest and were sensitive to the auras of strangers. However, they rarely came to the territory of human cultivators, and even if there were, there were only a few that got lost.

At this moment, they did not have time to care about Gu Xi. They only left two disciples to watch Fang Qinyu and him, and the others all followed behind Fang Qingshan.

When they arrived at the door, they realized that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.

Not far away, the sky was dark and blotted out the sun. Even the light of the sun was blocked, as if it had turned into night.

Looking at the gloomy sky above him, Fang Qingshan’s expression did not look too good either. He muttered to himself, “How could this be…”

There were so many Winged Golden Black Bugs that they were no worse than the ones that Li Junyan and the others had encountered earlier. One could not help but wonder if all the Winged Golden Black Bugs had come out in full force.

With so many bugs, even if they were far away on the horizon, the buzzing and flapping of their wings could still be heard incessantly. From far to near, the pressure almost suffocated everyone.

“What should we do now? There are so many of them. We can’t resist them at all.”

“What’s wrong with these Winged Golden Black Bugs? Why did they suddenly run out of the forest?”

“It’s over. Don’t tell me we’re all going to die at the mouth of the bugs. I don’t want to die so soon.”

Li Junyan’s expression was unsightly. “Master, what do you think about the current situation?”

Fang Qingshan’s expression was solemn. “Even if we activate the Mountain Defense Formation, we can only hold out for a while based on the attack power of the Winged Golden Black Bugs. We won’t be able to hold out for too long.”

It was not that the Mountain Defense Formation of Moyu Tower was too weak. It was just that the Winged Golden Black Bug was too powerful, not to mention such a huge swarm of bugs.
