Chapter 160 Struggle
"what happened to you?"

In the guest room, Dian Ding looked at Dian Chu who was struggling in pain, and hurried forward to ask.

Then he realized that the other party's current condition seemed to have something to do with him.

"Brother, my head hurts so much!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here with you. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Dian Ding's heart bleeds when he sees his brother in agony, but he can do nothing but comfort him with words.

"Ah - I will listen to my elder brother and endure it, ah -"

Dian Chu said this, but he was still tortured by the severe pain in his head.

"My Lord, I cannot betray you..."

"No, I'm the second in command of the Sea Demon Gang, what the hell is the emperor's son..."

"Ah——I can't be disrespectful to the emperor——"

Dian Chu only felt that there were two voices in his mind colliding and fighting each other fiercely, without caring about his life or death at all.

So much so that he could not bear it any longer and shouted out these two views out loud to divert the pain brought by the collision between the two.

Fortunately, the room was well soundproofed so Wang Changlin, who was traveling with us, wouldn't hear it.

The Demon Cultivator Alliance issued an order not to make enemies with the Wang family for the time being and not to let him know what happened.

Otherwise, if he informs Yuehua Fairy City, it will be bad.

Dian Ding planned to keep Yuehua Fairy City in the dark until the alliance army arrived and crush that emperor's son to pieces.

But he just couldn't bear to see his brother suffer, so he left the room.

"Fellow Daoist Dian, I wonder if your brother's condition has improved?"

As soon as the door was closed, Wang Changlin, who lived on the floor below, appeared at the stairs and came forward to inquire about the situation.

Of course Dian Ding knew that this person seemed to be concerned about his brother, but actually came to inquire about the situation.

After all, Dian Chu suddenly exploded while sailing, and he would definitely notice something was wrong.

"I feel much better now and am resting."

So he didn't tell the truth.

"That's good. I bought this Holy Blood Fruit when I was shopping just now. Maybe it will be helpful to your brother's condition. I will go and take care of the trade first."

Wang Changlin's expression remained unchanged. He took out a blood-red fruit from his storage bag, handed it to Dian Ding, and then said goodbye and left.

After he walked away, Dian Ding raised the fruit and prepared to smash it to pieces, but thinking of the importance of the Holy Blood Fruit to physical cultivation, he gently put down his arm.

Even though he hated Wang Changlin, there was no need for him to vent his anger on the fruit.

After putting away the Holy Blood Fruit, Dian Ding left the inn and walked into the stronghold of the Demonic Cultivator Alliance with a clear goal.

The guard seemed to know him as well. He nodded slightly to him and did not stop him, allowing him to go in.

Dian Ding walked straight forward in this stronghold and soon reached the innermost room.

"Boss Dian, Deacon Lu is entertaining guests, you can't go in now."

When he got here, someone stopped him. However, Dian Ding couldn't care less now. He kicked open the wooden door in front of him and walked in angrily.

There are two people in the room.

One of them is the deacon of this base, Lu Yuantao.

He had never seen the other person before, but judging by his clothes he should be a high-ranking member of the Demon Cultivator Alliance.

At this time, Jian Ding had already realized that he was impulsive, but since things had come to this point, and thinking of his brother's miserable condition at the moment, he still shouted loudly: "Deacon Lu, I have done my best to work for the alliance. The recovery pill you gave me is completely useless. My brother's condition has become worse after using it!"

"Devoted your all? The Alliance asked you, the Sea Demon Gang, to dig for the holy relics, and what did you do? You went out of your way to provoke the Wang family, who has a golden elixir, and the mysterious Yuehua Fairy City, and even let them know the Alliance's plan. Is this what you call devoted your all?"

Lu Yuantao's face was as hard as an iron stone. He was entertaining a distinguished guest, and Dian Ding came to disturb him at this time. It was simply an unforgivable crime.

If he hadn't wanted to make a fool of himself by revealing his identity to the distinguished guest, he would have slapped the man to death.

"This……"

Dian Ding was left speechless.

Although the Wang family and Yuehua Fairy City only wanted to do business with the alliance and had no ill intentions, the efficacy of the holy object was indeed known to the two families.

It is not difficult to guess the alliance's plan from this. This also forced the Demon Cultivation Alliance to postpone its counterattack plan against the Immortal Sect.

If the Demon Cultivator Alliance didn't really need the Sea Demon Gang, a large-scale physical cultivation force, and seemed to have reached some agreement with the Wang family's Jindan cultivator, they would never have spared his life.

"Why are you still standing here? Aren't you ashamed enough? Get out of here now!"

Seeing Dian Ding’s reaction, the disgust on Lu Yuantao’s face became more obvious, and he waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.

"Yes Yes."

At this moment, Dian Ding's blood had completely cooled.

He then realized what he had done.

No matter what, Lu Yuantao is a demon cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it would be easy to kill him.

Although the alliance's top brass said that his life was still useful, even if Lu Yuantao really killed him, there would not be any major consequences.

He is just an insignificant chess piece, and there are plenty of people in the Sea Demon Gang who can take his place.

"Wait a minute, the Rejuvenation Pills don't work, that's interesting, can you let me go check on your brother?"

Just as Dian Ding was about to leave, he was stopped by someone he didn't know.

But his words made Dian Ding not know how to respond, and he just stood there in a daze.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you see the envoy asking you a question?"

Lu Yuantao reminded Dian Ding of this man's identity with an impatient look on his face.

"Oh, it's the envoy, of course no problem, my brother is still in the inn."

With Lu Yuantao's suggestion, Dian Ding quickly nodded and agreed to the man's request.

"Then lead the way. Deacon Lu, do you want to come along?"

The messenger drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up, and did not forget to ask Lu Yuantao.

"I won't go. I have some things to deal with here."

Lu Yuantao also stood up, his tone and attitude were completely different from when he spoke to Dian Ding, he was extremely respectful.

Then he turned to Dian Ding and said, "Why don't you lead the way for the envoy? I tell you, the envoy is of noble status. If you offend him, not only you, but even the Sea Demon Gang will be wiped out."

The messenger just smiled, neither admitting nor objecting.

But this smile made Dian Ding's scalp tingle, and he hurriedly did as he was told: "Yes, yes, envoy, please come this way."

The two of them left the Demon Cultivator Alliance's base one after the other, returned to the inn, and entered Dian Chu's room.

"Ah——I am the dog of the Emperor——"

"What the hell is this, I'm the second in command of the Sea Demon Gang, ah——"

As soon as I entered the room, Dian Chu's voice went straight into my mind. If there were a mortal here, he would probably see stars just by hearing this voice.

Fortunately, Dian Ding and the envoy were not ordinary people, so they were not greatly affected.

Seeing him like this, Dian Ding was worried, and he didn't care about being afraid. He carefully asked the messenger who followed him: "Sir Messenger, do you know what's going on?"

"You said he used the Rejuvenating Pill?"

The messenger did not answer, but asked directly.

"Yep!"

Dian Ding nodded his head like pounding garlic.

"That's it. His soul was once covered by another consciousness. The Soul Restoring Pill awakened his original consciousness. The two consciousnesses struggled in his mind, and this situation occurred."

The messenger then expressed his judgment.

"Is there any solution?"

Upon learning the reason, Dian Ding was overjoyed and quickly asked.

"Of course, let me take a closer look."

After saying this, the messenger waved his hand, and Dian Chu stood still, motionless.
