Chapter 29

: The Two Hundred Million Divine Medicine is Deadly Poison! I Pointed Out the Poison with

This is a poisonous strain cultivated by the Wuji Sect Master using a secret method, with the aim of luring out the top tycoons in the Jiangdong region who are willing to pay to save their lives.

Once the target takes the pill, the offspring gu enters their body and they become a puppet controlled by the mother gu.

At that time, Wuji Sect will be able to seize his vast fortune without bloodshed.

They have long since mastered such insidious schemes.

"One hundred million!"

Song Yunfei glanced at Wang Guocheng, and knowingly pretended to raise the price.

"Young Master Song, this item is of vital importance to the life of one of my elders. Please do me the favor."

Wang Guocheng stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Song Yunfei, and made a very respectful gesture.

"Since Master Wang has spoken, I will certainly grant him that request!"

Song Yunfei sighed with feigned regret and put down the number plate.

As soon as the charade ended, the audience erupted in commotion.

"The Song family of the capital has actually given up!"

"Doesn't that mean our chance has come?"

Seeing that even Young Master Song sat down reluctantly, the atmosphere of the entire auction was completely ignited.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

A very well-maintained and beautiful woman held up a sign.

"One hundred and thirty million!"

……

Ultimately, this "Nine-Leaf Ice Lotus" was acquired by a wealthy coal mine owner from western Shanxi for a staggering 200 million yuan.

The coal mine owner was so excited that his face was flushed. He immediately asked Tianbao Pavilion to provide a secret room so that he could take the miraculous medicine that would allow him to live for decades more!

The entire audience cast envious glances.

Only Xiao Hongli's beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised disappointment and resentment. She didn't understand why Zhou Ran had stopped her.

Just then, Zhou Ran suddenly stood up.

"Boss, I advise you not to touch that stuff."

Swish!

All eyes in the room instantly focused on Zhou Ran.

The coal mine owner froze, his joy vanished, replaced by deep displeasure.

"Kid, what do you mean?"

"Sour grapes?"

Wang Guocheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to spout nonsense and disrupt the order of Tianbao Pavilion! Third Master Qin, get this person out of here immediately!"

Song Yunfei found an excellent outlet for his laughter, which was sharp and piercing.

"Haha, if you don't have money, you don't have money, so why pretend to be a master?"

I think you're just jealous!

"I can't afford it myself, and I don't want others to have it easy!"

Master Qin looked troubled. Although he was wary of Zhou Ran, Zhou Ran's actions were indeed disruptive and broke the rules.

Zhou Ran ignored everyone's ridicule and doubts, his gaze fixed only on the coal mine owner, his tone indifferent.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

"I'll just say one thing: the lotus flower before you is actually a manifestation of the 'Mother-Child Heart-Connecting Gu.' If you want to hand over the family fortune accumulated by your ancestors over several generations, then go ahead and consume it."

"Nonsense!"

Wang Guocheng stared intently at Zhou Ran, his heart churning with turmoil.

If he hadn't known beforehand, even he himself wouldn't have been able to see through the disguise of this Mother-Child Heart-Connecting Gu. How did this kid know it at a glance?

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! A mother-child bond gu?"

Do you think this is a novel?

Song Yunfei laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

Everyone stared at him as if he were a fool; no one believed Zhou Ran's words.

Xiao Hongli's heart leaped into her throat. She clenched her fists, unable to understand why Zhou Ran would put her against everyone else.

Zhou Ran remained silent.

He simply extended two fingers and gently touched the ice lotus in the glass dome from a distance.

A barely perceptible wisp of demonic energy quietly seeped in.

"open!"

Time passed by, second by second.

The atmosphere inside the venue gradually shifted from initial mockery to something rather eerie.

"Don't worry, the Gu worms will be out soon."

Zhou Ran's voice rang out again, carrying a sense of complete control.

The coal mine owner's forehead began to sweat. He looked at the surface of the ice lotus and saw that there really were wisps of black energy swirling around it, which made him feel uneasy.

Wang Guocheng's face also darkened completely, and an ominous premonition grew wildly in his heart.

Could this kid really know some secret techniques from the Southern Frontier?

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Zhou Ran began to calmly count down.

When he counted to "three", something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a tiny black dot appeared on the very top petal of the once crystal-clear Nine-Leaf Ice Lotus.

Immediately afterwards, the black spot spread wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like ink dripping into clear water!

In just two or three breaths, the entire lotus plant went from being pure and flawless to being as black as ink!

"Splash!"

The nine leaves and the lotus platform shattered simultaneously, turning into a pool of viscous, poisonous water emitting black smoke, and a stench mixed with rotting flesh and sewers exploded out!

After the poisonous water drained away, a hideous black worm, about two inches long, was left wriggling on the jade plate!

One of the closest maids in a cheongsam, after inhaling just a wisp of the scent, had her eyes roll back, foam at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground!

The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their pupils dilated violently, and extreme horror froze on every face!

Really...

It really is a Gu worm!

The coal mine owner was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

If he had been just one step faster, it wouldn't be that maid lying on the ground now, but his own rotting corpse!

After the deathly silence came a roar of exclamations!

"Amazing! He's truly a god!"

Countless gazes, filled with awe and admiration, were cast upon the young man who had stood calmly throughout.

Xiao Hongli covered her mouth, her clear, cold phoenix eyes sparkling with a strange light, her heart pounding wildly.

He saved himself once again!

If he hadn't stopped her, it would have been Xiao Hongli who was hit right now!

"Thump!"

The coal mine owner scrambled to Zhou Ran's feet, then knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

"Master! Deity! Thank you for saving my life!"

"If it weren't for you, I would be dead today!"

"I'm kowtowing to you!"

As he spoke, he began to kowtow repeatedly to the ground.

Zhou Ran slightly turned to avoid him, her gaze passing over him and piercing Wang Guocheng like a sharp sword.

"Saving you was just something I did on a whim."

On the other side, Wang Guocheng felt his scalp tingle from Wang Guocheng's gaze, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent!

The plan has been ruined!

More importantly, he sensed a demonic energy from Zhou Ran that was of the same origin as the Ghost Hand, but even more domineering and pure!

it's him!

The culprit who killed Ghost Hand and destroyed the Yin Gathering Array is this person!

Wang Guocheng kept quiet, knowing he was no match for them.

He snorted coldly and silently retreated into the chaotic crowd.

He quickly pulled out his phone, sent an encrypted kill order, and then disappeared into the night without looking back.

The auction ended abruptly.

Amidst countless awe-inspiring gazes, Zhou Ran took the hand of Xiao Hongli, whose mind was still racing, and led her towards the parking lot.

He could feel several malevolent gazes from the shadows, like maggots clinging to his bones, fixed on him.

"Old Deng, looks like we've got another workout to do tonight."

"Hehe, this is a good opportunity for you to test your Qi Condensation Level 4 skills."

Remember, in the demonic path, revenge is absolute; eliminate every grudge!

Ye Futian's voice echoed in his mind.

Sitting in the Ferrari, Xiao Hongli was still not calmed down from the shock she had just experienced.

She started the car and drove away from Tianbao Pavilion.

The vehicles merged into the traffic flow, passed through the bustling city center, and gradually headed towards the riverside highway leading to the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

She had already messaged Chen Ya, and now she was going to pick her up.

This stretch of road was extremely remote and sparsely populated late at night.

Just as the Ferrari rounded a bend, two blindingly bright high beams, like the giant eyes of a ferocious beast, suddenly lit up from ahead!

A heavy dump truck was parked across the middle of the road, completely blocking the way.

Xiao Hongli's heart skipped a beat, and she slammed on the brakes!

"Squeak—!"

The ear-piercing screech of brakes cut through the night sky.

At the same time, four black SUVs suddenly appeared from the rear and side roads, instantly surrounding the Ferrari in the center.

The car doors opened in unison.

Eight men, each wielding a Tang sword and dressed in black, filed out.

A chilling murderous aura permeated the silent riverbank.
