Chapter 229: The Pervasive Malice

Diao Yuanzheng heard the private chatter of the cultivators, but he immediately stopped them and said,

"Wait a minute, stop talking nonsense, and work harder for me. Don't stop."

However, even he himself seemed to feel that something was wrong. Taking advantage of the break between turns, he took out a detoxification pill from his arms and ate it silently.

The Five Friends of Mengshan and others also noticed the changes, but subconsciously thought that this was just a test from the secret realm.

In addition, they all had the triple recovery pill refined by Mo Juren. After taking it, the consumption of spiritual energy was not very serious.

Hong Jin, who had the highest level of cultivation, seemed to be fine. He was trying his best to exert his strength and attack the spiritual power wall.

Seeing that the light of the formation was getting dimmer and dimmer, and it was not far from the final breaking of the formation, he became more focused and took the Qi-regenerating pill more and more often during his rest times.

In the end, seeing that the spiritual power wall was getting dimmer and dimmer and was about to be broken, some independent cultivators finally couldn't hold on any longer and actually fainted on the ground.

Not only those who fell to the ground, but the rest of the wandering cultivators around them all looked the same, their faces were ashen, their lips were pale, and they couldn't help shivering from the cold.

Everyone couldn't help but sit on the ground and practice hard, trying to recover some magic power. They had no intention of launching any more attacks.

Seeing this, Diao Yuanzheng's face darkened and he said,
"It seems like you guys won't cry until you see the coffin. Have you forgotten the power of the Corpse Bug Pill right away?"

The casual cultivators complained one after another,

“Senior Diao, it’s not that we can’t help… our magic power has run out, and we feel cold all over. We can’t even recover our spiritual energy… Please, Senior Diao, save us…”

Seeing that all the casual cultivators were like this, Diao Yuanzheng said in a low voice with anger,
"Humph! You are all a bunch of useless trash. Just wait here to die!"

After saying that, even the four strong men who carried him fell to the ground with cold faces. Diao Yuanzheng had to stand up himself and launch the final attack on the spiritual power wall.

Including Hong Jin and the five friends of Mengshan, each of them felt cold and had a sinister feeling in their hearts, but seeing that they all looked the same, they did not arouse any suspicion.

In addition, seeing that the formation was about to break through, they could not afford to stop and cause more trouble. They all wanted to hold on for a while longer, and that they would be the winner if they persisted.

Finally, the spiritual power wall was hit by Diao Yuanzheng's black fire spell, and it made a crisp cracking sound like ice cracking, and then collapsed.

Seeing this, Hong Jin jumped up suddenly and was the first to enter the small stone cave.

After taking a look at all three passages, he finally laughed and chose the middle passage. He walked in without looking back and headed downwards.

As his figure disappeared, the middle passage immediately closed itself.

The five friends from Mengshan also hurried to the passage on the left, but when they got there they found that there was a blocking formation in front of the passage and they could not break through at all.

Diao Yuanzheng looked back slowly at the large group of wandering cultivators lying behind him with a look of disdain.

Then he walked towards the small cave in a leisurely manner, and said to the anxious Five Friends of Mengshan with a wicked smile,

"So, you five chose the wrong passage, right? Do you want me to switch with you, hahahaha..."

Wang Zhuo and others tried for a long time, but ultimately could not break through the foundation-building isolation formation. In the end, they could only return in disappointment and gave up the passage.

Diao Yuanzheng walked to the left passageway with great pride and laughed loudly,
"I have consumed many years of my life and put in a lot of effort to predict the opportunity in this passage on the left. You few Qi-refining cultivators still want to snatch the opportunity from me? It's simply wishful thinking, hahahaha..." After saying that, he passed through the cultivation isolation array at the entrance of the passage, entered the passage, and then went up along the passage impatiently.

As the left channel was automatically closed, the Five Friends of Mengshan had no choice but to look at the last channel on the right.

I saw that this passage was not blocked by any extra formations, but at first glance, it was empty and did not look like there were any treasures inside.

But since they were already here, there was no reason not to go and explore, so the five friends of Mengshan supported each other and went in.

Mo Juren fell beside a group of wandering cultivators and pretended to be dead for a long time.

He had the Nuan Yang Jade in his arms and showed no symptoms of poisoning at all.

Because the poison that these people were infected with was all spread by him on purpose.

It was the sand that he had previously buried in the flame array, mixed with a large amount of "poisonous tomb sand" that had leaked from the Mo family's ancestral land.

This white arsenopyrite was mixed with ordinary sand and no one suspected anything. However, it is actually a poisonous substance that can release colorless and odorless poisonous gas into the air.

Except for Mo Juren who was able to resist these poisons with the help of the Nuan Yang Jade, the other cultivators were all severely poisoned after using their magic power at full strength.

Even Hong Jin and Diao Yuanzheng, two foundation-building cultivators, might not be able to escape the harm, but they had profound cultivation and were able to suppress it forcefully.

When Mo Juren and the others saw no more movement around, he jumped up and walked towards the small stone cave.

Diao Yuanzheng had entered the real place of inheritance. If he took the treasure and left, then the opportunity passed down by his ancestors would be wasted.

However, Mo Juren thought of Diao Yuanzheng's performance when he challenged the level before, and he was probably unaware of Yao Zong's true ability, and it might not be so easy for him to succeed. This made him feel more at ease.

Walking into the small stone cave, Mo Juren went straight to the secret compartment which contained the three-dimensional array diagram of the entire inheritance land.

At this point he had made up his mind and decided to activate the self-destruct switch.

Instead of letting Diao Yuanzheng and others inherit the inheritance, it is better to destroy the entire place of inheritance first!
Let it be buried deep underground, so that it can be reopened when it has been successfully cultivated in the future.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Just as Mo Juren was about to take out the Nuan Yang Jade to open the secret compartment, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from the stone cave behind him!
Mo Juren turned his head suddenly, and saw that old man Hong Jin suddenly reappeared in the middle passage, looking at Mo Juren with a smile.

Hong Jin said coldly,

"Fortunately, I had my suspicions early on and didn't rush down to look for treasure. I guessed that one of you had a trick up your sleeve, but I didn't expect it to be you, Mo Juren."

"Tell me, was it that old guy Wang Zhuo who came up with this idea?!"

Mo Juren was shocked. This Hong Jin was indeed an old shrewd man. He had clearly entered the passage and the treasure was right in front of him, but he was still able to suppress his desire and hide inside until he was exposed.

But fortunately, he still thought that all this was the work of the Five Friends of Mengshan. It seemed that they did not take him seriously at all, so he pretended to be surprised and said,

"I don't know what Senior Hong is talking about, but the Five Friends of Mengshan have entered the passage on the right and haven't come out for a long time."

Hong Jin looked around and indeed did not see the Five Friends of Mengshan. He immediately frowned...
