Chapter 34: The Betrayer is Finally Betrayed

"That bitch Wang Yuyao actually lent him this pair of High-grade Magical Artifact level shoes!"

Seeing these familiar shoes, a thought flashed through the minds of Liang Chen and Qian Yu simultaneously.

The next moment, both shoes exploded at the same time.

A violent force stirred up a storm, instantly engulfing the two of them.

Liang Chen was better off; because a Spirit Palm Print had blocked it for a moment, his injuries were lighter.

Qian Yu had it quite miserably, as the whole person was blown away by the explosion.

Their clothes hung on their body in strips like rags, and their skin was charred black.

On the contrary, the weakest ones, Niu Shouren and Chen Jiaojiao, suffered the least impact because Liang Chen and Qian Yu were blocking in front.

They were only blown away by the aftermath of the storm and were otherwise unharmed.

When the storm subsided, the four gathered together again.

Looking ahead again, Wang Jianqiang had long since vanished.

The expressions of Liang Chen, Qian Yu, and Niu Shouren all turned ugly.

Chen Jiaojiao, however, for some reason, actually felt a sense of relief.

……

"Liang Chen, Qian Yu, is it? Grandfather has remembered you."

"And those two ungrateful wretches, Niu Shouren and Chen Jiaojiao."

More than ten miles away, Wang Jianqiang restrained his aura and walked among the vegetation formed by ice.

After the battle just now, the remaining Spiritual Power in his body had been completely exhausted.

He stuffed a Spirit Recovery Pill into his mouth.

The recovery of Spiritual Power was very slow.

"This won't do, I must quickly find a place to recover in peace."

"Otherwise, the way I am now, I'll be done for if I encounter any danger."

Wang Jianqiang swept his gaze around, then looked at an ice mound in front, his eyes brightening.

The ice mound was over ten zhang high, and at its base grew ice grass as tall as a person.

Behind the ice grass was a pitch-black cave entrance.

If it weren't for the fact that his current angle was just right, it would have been truly difficult to discover this cave entrance.

"I'll recover right here."

Wang Jianqiang made his decision immediately, quickened his pace, and walked into the cave.

The cave entrance was less than one zhang in diameter, very narrow.

But after he walked inside from the entrance, he discovered that the space within the cave was unexpectedly spacious, as large as a normal room.

What was even more surprising was that an Array was actually set up inside the cave.

It was just that the Array seemed not to have been activated for a long time and looked very old.

Wang Jianqiang tried tossing some Spirit Stones into the Array eye.

The Array actually began to operate successfully.

"It can still be used!"

"And it's a Concealment Array at that!"

Wang Jianqiang's expression was joyful.

Under the concealment of this Array, the cave entrance had already completely disappeared.

At this moment, the cave seemed to have been isolated into an independent world.

Even a Qi Refining Consummation Cultivator would be unable to detect the existence of the cave even with their full perception.

With this Array, the safety here would be greatly improved.

His nerves, which had been tense the whole time, finally relaxed completely.

He sat cross-legged and swallowed another Perfect Spirit Recovery Pill, beginning to recover.

As he refined it with peace of mind.

The medicinal power of the Perfect Spirit Recovery Pill dissolved rapidly, and a cool current flowed into his limbs and bones.

Wherever it passed, wisps of Spiritual Power were rapidly generated.

Within his empty meridians, Spiritual Power recovered rapidly.

The recovery speed was more than thirty times faster than before.

Two hours later, Wang Jianqiang slowly opened his closed eyes.

At this moment, his Spiritual Power had completely recovered.

Thinking of Liang Chen and Qian Yu, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

A gentleman does not wait to take revenge.

He was no kind-hearted person.

As early as when he self-detonated the Magic Tool earlier, he had already tampered with it.

A wisp of his Spirit Sense had already mixed into the power of the explosion and attached itself to the two of them.

With the guidance of this wisp of Spirit Sense, as long as they were within a certain range, he could clearly perceive the other party's location.

Making it impossible for the other party to hide!

"To think you dared to target me; I won't let you live past today!"

……

While Wang Jianqiang was hiding in the cave recovering his Spiritual Power, Liang Chen and the others had already searched the entire area for dozens of miles around.

Unfortunately, because of the existence of the Concealment Array, the four of them did not discover Wang Jianqiang's hiding place.

"Impossible, that old fellow's strength is so weak, he couldn't have run far."

Niu Shouren said with an unwilling expression.

Liang Chen was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Niu Shouren and Chen Jiaojiao, lingering on Chen Jiaojiao for a moment.

His gaze was filled with lewdness, extremely presumptuous, making Chen Jiaojiao feel a wave of discomfort.

She frowned, unable to help but cross her arms over her chest and take two steps back.

Liang Chen smiled meaningfully at Chen Jiaojiao, then shifted his gaze to Niu Shouren, "But the fact is, Wang Jianqiang has already escaped."

Liang Chen's gaze did not hide anything as he looked at Chen Jiaojiao.

Niu Shouren was right beside them and naturally saw it all.

His expression stiffened, and he stood in front of Chen Jiaojiao without a trace, forcing a smile, "Brother Liang Chen, don't be anxious. The Secret Realm has only been open for a month; we will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Liang Chen gave a sinister smile, "That's right, Brother Qian Yu and I certainly have plenty of opportunities, but whether you two have any depends on whether you, as a married couple, know how to play along."

"What does Brother Liang Chen mean by that?" Upon hearing this, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Niu Shouren's heart.

"Brother Niu, what are you playing dumb for?"

Liang Chen sneered, his gaze sweeping greedily over Chen Jiaojiao, "If you didn't have such a beautiful Dao Companion, do you think that with your meager strength, Brother Qian Yu and I would bother associating with you?"

"It is no secret that Brother Qian Yu and I enjoy taking care of our friends' wives and daughters; I don't believe you, Niu Shouren, wouldn't know."

"Since you knew, and still took the initiative to accept the Pills we gave you, isn't that a tacit agreement?"

"You accepted their Pills!" Hearing Liang Chen's words, Chen Jiaojiao looked at Niu Shouren in disbelief.

She had not been familiar with Liang Chen and Qian Yu before and did not know their temperaments.

She only knew that some time ago, her husband had suddenly become good friends with them.

She had thought they could rely on this connection to rise in the world, never expecting such a shady deal to be hidden within it.

Niu Shouren looked at Chen Jiaojiao, his expression struggling, "Jiaojiao, you have to believe me, I did accept their gifts, but I never thought about selling you out."

"Ridiculous!" Liang Chen snorted coldly, "Since you knew our style of conduct, if you weren't willing, why did you accept our Pills?"

"Did you want to get our things for free? I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word 'death'."

"I..."

Niu Shouren opened his mouth.

He did indeed know their style of conduct.

But at the time, they had given too much, and they hadn't stated it clearly, only saying they wanted to be friends with him, so he had accepted it while harboring a sliver of wishful thinking.

The reason his cultivation was able to reach the Qi Refining Ninth Layer was precisely because of the help of these Pills.

Yet he never imagined it would bring about today's disaster.

Just as Niu Shouren was hesitating, Liang Chen's voice continued, "Now, I only give you two paths: either die, or get out of the way and enjoy the show."

Feeling the killing intent on Liang Chen, Niu Shouren felt a chill in his heart.

Between death and his Dao Companion, he ultimately chose to submit.

Seeing Niu Shouren step aside, Chen Jiaojiao's heart was filled with despair, "Niu Shouren, with my appearance, I could have easily found a Qi Refining Consummation cultivator to be my Dao Companion, but I didn't do that."

"And every time I obtained resources from Wang Jianqiang, I would share half with you."

"Speak with a clear conscience: without me, would you be where you are today?"

"I was loyal to you, yet you sold me out for a pittance of profit; you deserve to die!"

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Wang Jianqiang.

In the past, she had looked down on Wang Jianqiang for being a loser with a bad reputation.

But thinking about it carefully now, Wang Jianqiang really hadn't treated her badly.

It was only later that she had been far too excessive, which led to Wang Jianqiang's personality changing drastically.

Now, she too had encountered betrayal.

She finally understood Wang Jianqiang's feelings.

Her heart was filled with regret.

She shouldn't have cut ties with Wang Jianqiang, and even less should she have schemed against him!

But everything... seemed to be too late.

Seeing Liang Chen and Qian Yu approaching step by step, a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

She had a temper too.

Although she was no virtuous woman, she absolutely did not want these two people who schemed against her to succeed.

Flipping her palm, a Flying Sword appeared in her hand.

Then, she fiercely stabbed it into her own chest.
