Chapter 2041 - 2041 2031 Should Not Betray

2041: Chapter 2031: Should Not Betray 2041: Chapter 2031: Should Not Betray “Young Master Feng, was it really wise to make a deal with the Blood Spirit King on your own?”

After the Blood Spirit King had left, a youth asked Lan Feng.

“There was no other way.

Although we can’t control the Blood Spirit King, I’ve made a contract with her.

From now on, she is one of us; there’s no big difference.”

Lan Feng said.

“With the Blood Spirit King’s intervention, Meng Qianning and others surely have no chance of survival, and there is nothing more for us to do.

What should we do next?”

Another youth asked.

They could no longer target the Innate Blood Fruit, so their purpose for entering the Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood had vanished.

“Besides the Innate Blood Fruit, there are other treasures in the Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood.

Let’s all rely on luck, and we can also collect more Innate Blood Essences.”

Lan Feng said.

All he needed to do now was wait for the Blood Spirit King to deliver Long Yan to him.

Subsequently, Lan Feng and the four youths split up to collect Innate Blood Essence according to their own strength and luck.

A thousand-foot waterfall hung down, with a cave hidden behind it.

Inside the cave, Long Yan was cultivating, and Meng Qianning was also focusing on healing her injuries, aided by Elixirs that sped up the recovery process.

Time passed by day by day, and soon three days had gone by.

“Fourth Rank God King, break!”

Suddenly, Meng Qianning formed a handprint and a powerful momentum burst forth from her body, carrying the breath of a Fourth Rank God King.

Having consumed several Elixirs, she had not only healed her injuries but had also broken through to the Fourth Rank God King level.

Like Lan Feng, Meng Qianning had been suppressing her Cultivation Base.

Breaking through to the Fourth Rank God King level was not difficult for her.

Soon, Meng Qianning’s momentum stabilized.

“There isn’t much time left until the Innate Blood Fruit matures, let’s hurry over.”

Long Yan said to Meng Qianning.

If they missed the maturation period of the Innate Blood Fruit, they would lose the chance to obtain it.

Now that Meng Qianning had broken through to the Fourth Rank God King, their chances of competing for the Innate Blood Fruit had significantly increased.

“If we can obtain the Innate Blood Fruit, it will be yours.”

Meng Qianning said to Long Yan.

She had promised to give Long Yan cultivation resources, and since Long Yan had saved her life, she was willing to give him the Innate Blood Fruit if they could obtain it.

“Let’s talk about it once we get the Innate Blood Fruit.”

Long Yan said, “Since you’ve advanced to the Fourth Rank God King, Lan Feng must have as well, not to mention the Blood Spirit King.

It won’t be easy for us to obtain the Innate Blood Fruit.”

Just talking about it wasn’t useful since they hadn’t yet obtained the Innate Blood Fruit.

“Mhm.”

Meng Qianning nodded and immediately left the cave with Long Yan, heading towards the direction of the Blood Pool.

“Damn it, why are these Innate Blood Spirits acting like mad dogs?”

A figure fled in a disheveled and bloody state, looking extremely solemn.

This person was Wang Wenjun.

On that day, Yang Xing had led the Innate Blood Spirits to surround them.

After Long Yan broke out with Meng Qianning, Wang Wenjun also barely managed to escape.

However, the Innate Blood Spirits did not leave him alone and had been hunting him down.

Over the past few days, he had almost been drained completely and was severely injured, almost at the end of his strength.

Suddenly, several Innate Blood Spirits swooped in and quickly caught up with Wang Wenjun.

Although these Innate Blood Spirits were not very powerful, and Wang Wenjun, at his peak, wouldn’t have considered them a threat, right now, he was no match for them.

“Could it be that I’m going to die in this godforsaken place?”

Wang Wenjun’s face was filled with despair.

The Innate Blood Spirits showed no mercy to Wang Wenjun, launching a full attack and pushing him step by step toward the abyss of death.

Just when Wang Wenjun was about to collapse, a black-clothed young man suddenly appeared.

The black-clothed young man, a Second Rank God King, slaughtered those Innate Blood Spirits and obtained the Innate Blood Essence in less than five minutes.

“Thank you!”

Wang Wenjun looked at the black-clothed young man and expressed his gratitude.

This black-clothed young man was clearly one of Lan Feng’s men.

The fact that he saved him was something Wang Wenjun couldn’t understand.

“I only did it for the Innate Blood Essence, not to save you.”

The black-clothed young man looked at Wang Wenjun, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“Do you want to kill me?”

Wang Wenjun looked at the black-clothed young man, his expression tensing up.

He could sense the murderous intent in the young man’s eyes.

“You deserve to die!”

The black-clothed young man spat out three cold words and then questioned him, “Wang Wenjun, I considered you a brother, why did you betray me?”

His voice was starkly different from before.

The voice hit Wang Wenjun’s ears, changing his expression drastically, making him tremble.

“You…

are you Qin Qiu?”

That voice was too familiar to Wang Wenjun; it was undoubtedly Qin Qiu’s voice.

He could never have imagined that Qin Qiu would appear here.

“That’s right.”

The black-clothed young man admitted outright that he was Qin Qiu.

After restoring his cultivation in the Shengdao Alliance, he had joined the Blood Shadow Sect and, by drawing close to Lan Feng, gained his trust and the qualification to enter the Secret Territory of Shadow of Blood.

After joining the Blood Shadow Sect, he had confirmed what Long Yan had told him: Wang Wenjun had indeed allied with Meng Qianning and betrayed him.

“How did you recover so quickly and even show up here?”

Wang Wenjun was puzzled, unable to comprehend.

Even if Meng Qianning provided something to resolve the Blood Shadow Curse Mark, the recovery of his cultivation wouldn’t be possible in such a short time; it would take at least half a year.

It had only been one month, and Qin Qiu had not only recovered his cultivation but had also returned to the Blood Shadow Sect and secured a spot to enter the Secret Territory, how did he manage that?

“You don’t need to know all this.

Now, I want you to tell me why you betrayed me.”

Qin Qiu said coldly.

He had considered Wang Wenjun a brother, yet Wang Wenjun betrayed him; he wanted to know the reason.

“I…”

For the moment, Wang Wenjun didn’t know how to respond.

After pausing for a while, Wang Wenjun finally spoke, “Qin Qiu, when you were expelled from the Blood Shadow Sect, I was implicated too.

You know what kind of person Meng Qianning is; he wouldn’t let me go.

While I was looking for a way to resolve the Blood Shadow Curse Mark, I was discovered.

Meng Qianning saved me.

I didn’t want to die, so I had no choice but to betray you.”

Betraying Qin Qiu was indeed out of helplessness.

If there had been any other choice, he would not have betrayed Qin Qiu.

“Even if you allied with Meng Qianning, you shouldn’t have betrayed me.

If Long Yan hadn’t saved me, I would have been long dead.”

Qin Qiu’s eyes burned with anger, his voice trembling.

“Wang Wenjun, my best brother, you shouldn’t have betrayed the brotherhood between us!”

Though Wang Wenjun had chosen to side with Meng Qianning, Qin Qiu could entirely understand that decision, but Wang Wenjun should not have betrayed him.
