Chapter 1063 - 890: Old Man Murong_2

After meeting with Huang Yingying and San, they immediately turned around and left, directly heading to find the trapped Nanshan forces.

The day after they left, Murong Wuai was brought into the Yanfu Continent by Shi Chun.

Currently, the five major forces are watching each other at the entrance and exit of the Yanfu Continent, monitoring one another. Murong Wuai's sudden departure, along with his associates stepping back a little, immediately drew significant attention from the other factions.

Whenever Shi Chun filled the entrance with smoke and haze, he would inadvertently involve Bian Weiyin and Situ Zhen, forcing them to cast spells to dispel the smoke at the entrance of Yanfu Continent, essentially acting as helpers.

Once someone inside reported the situation, Wei Mo and Lu Xun had a brief conversation before summoning Bian Weiyin over.

Wei Mo had his own methods of handling Bian Weiyin. He was very familiar with the situation of the sects in Sheng Province. The purpose of calling Bian Weiyin was simply to have her go to Shi Chun and gather intel. Even though they knew she might not uncover anything, they couldn't ignore the unusual situation with Murong Wuai.

Indeed, they didn't see Shi Chun's smoke and haze as unusual. In their eyes, Murong Wuai's departure was the anomaly.

Bian Weiyin had no choice but to grit her teeth and go. She entered the smoking wooden hut, navigating through the swirling smoke to sneak into the underground tunnel, holding her nose and mouth as she approached Shi Chun, who was stirring something by the pot. This scene was not new to her, as she knew Shi Chun was smoking to heal injuries.

Thus, even though she hated the unpleasant smoke, she was mentally able to accept it.

"Murong Wuai has entered the Yanfu Continent," Bian Weiyin spoke first.

Shi Chun responded with a hum and a smile, already expecting East Victory would send her; he had been waiting.

Bian Weiyin continued, "He also withdrew some distance with his men guarding the entrance inside. Is there... any sudden change? Do you need my help with anything?"

Shi Chun stopped stirring with the stick, tossed it into the bottom of the pot as kindling, and turned to face her.

The two locked eyes for a moment before Shi Chun suddenly embraced her and kissed her.

Bian Weiyin initially hesitated but then somewhat reciprocated; however, when Shi Chun's hand started wandering to remove her clothes, she quickly broke free, blocking his advances, saying, "Not here, we'll be discovered."

She still had her dignity to maintain.

Shi Chun chuckled, then pressed his cheek against hers, kissing her earlobe, and whispered softly, "Find an opportunity to leave here, either get out or enter the Yanfu Continent. In any case, avoid this smoke."

Bian Weiyin looked up in astonishment. She had already gotten used to the smoke and haze; now asking her to avoid it—what did that mean? She couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with this smoke?"

Even a fool could tell there was a problem; naturally, she was no exception.

Shi Chun, with his hands on her waist, softly responded, "It's actually a chronic poison, a rare toxin. Once it reaches a certain threshold, it will become toxic, almost incurable. I planned to inform you later, but since you're here, just keep this to yourself and don't tell Lu Xun and the others."

The shock in Bian Weiyin's eyes was evident. She truly didn't expect this person to dare poison members of the major forces here. If it were her at Wukang Mountain, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

She nodded slightly and then was held and teased by Shi Chun for a bit before leaving.

As he watched her disappear into the entrance above, Shi Chun's face flickered in the firelight. He was almost certain that Bian Weiyin would turn around and betray him because as long as she cared about Wukang Mountain, she had no choice.

If Bian Weiyin wanted to avoid the outbreak of poison, she couldn't disregard the survival of Lu Xun and the others. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to clear her name with the East Victory Royal Court, and the consequence was something Wukang Mountain could not afford, so she could only betray Shi Chun.

Being betrayed was something Shi Chun was very experienced with; he had long grown accustomed to it. In the East Nine Plain, even Wu Jinliang had betrayed him multiple times just to survive. So in his view, making the right choice in one's own interest when forced into a corner wasn't a problem.

If someone's betrayal could truly threaten you, then it's your own problem, so he didn't have moral dilemmas regarding right or wrong in this aspect.

After Bian Weiyin left, another figure descended; Situ Zhen came again. Shi Chun instinctively glanced at her abdomen where the Magic Source was located. Earlier, his Right Eye Superpower revealed that this woman's Demon Essence had become quite abundant. How long since the Battle of Great Pardon? The speed of this woman's cultivation was astonishing, making him secretly alarmed.

To maintain Zhener's consistent behavior, Situ Zhen directly embraced Shi Chun and kissed him, although she felt nauseated, especially sensing the scent of another woman on Shi Chun's lips.

Without Murong Wuai causing trouble, Shi Chun didn't miss the opportunity presented by this proactive approach.

Situ Zhen's purpose for coming was the same as Bian Weiyin's. After the embrace served its purpose, she also asked a similar question, and Shi Chun's response was also similar.

Inside the small wooden hut on the surface, Bian Weiyin's heart was tormented, but she still revealed the truth in the end.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun and Wei Mo's expressions changed drastically. After being poisoned for so long, it was hard not to react strongly. No wonder Murong Wuai left nonchalantly.

"What audacity, he dares openly poison several families here?" Lu Xun bellowed in outrage.

Wei Mo chuckled bitterly, "Who could identify poison in this smoke? We were on guard and examined it before. In other words, who can prove it was his doing? I've seen medicinal smoking for healing, but never such thick hazy smoke. It likely wasn't even aimed at us initially. He was cornered here by the Nanshan group; wanting to knock them out is normal, and he inadvertently got us involved as well."

Lu Xun gritted his teeth, "That old scoundrel Murong Wuai, purposely stayed here for over a month, accompanying us in this poisonous fog, and then left pretending nothing happened. Truly ruthless!"

Cursing aside, there was no need to verify the truth. They couldn't find anything before; how could they expect to find something now? Who dares stay here and gamble? Besides, if Shi Chun didn't leave the barrier, staying here was no different from staying inside the Yanfu Continent. The decision was obvious.

They left immediately, without even enduring to cover for Bian Weiyin a bit longer. Knowing it was a rare toxin, who could bear staying longer?

There were no excuses or pretexts; once in the Yanfu Continent, they directly ordered the East Victory Army to withdraw, which effectively betrayed Bian Weiyin, leaving her quite upset, unsure how to face Shi Chun again.

Over at Beiju, Situ Zhen didn't initially plan to betray Shi Chun. She claimed to be fine, saying most poisons didn't affect her water flame physique. Yet Shi Chun mentioned it was a rare toxin, likely effective on her too.

Seeing East Victory's reaction, she couldn't risk herself for Shi Chun and decisively betrayed him for her own safety.

For her, ending the relationship with Shi Chun wasn't difficult either. Being constantly dragged into chores because of Shi Chun was actually quite annoying for her.

Upon hearing her report, new and old grudges overwhelmed Lan She, and he cursed aloud, "That scoundrel is still despicable, can't be easily forgiven!"

"Accompanied us in this for a month, that old scoundrel Murong is ruthless..." Xie Lingao cursed Murong Wuai for his exit, demonstrating that even cursing must be apt.

In front of the West Niu wooden hut, repeatedly receiving reports from Yanfu Continent, You Ben and Niu Qian stood amidst the lingering smoke, utterly baffled. Why was everyone running? Something must be wrong, yet they couldn't grasp the problem...
