Chapter 22

He Qingge was surprised to hear this news.

This Foundation Establishment expert’s strength was about the same as Zhu Zheng’s. The two of them should be fellow disciples.

He Qingge had a clear understanding of the situation.

Zhu Zheng found the Heavenly Demon Charm Body because he wanted to use it to forge a better Dao foundation.

If he wanted to build a new foundation, he would have to shatter his original Dao foundation. Usually, shattering one’s Dao foundation would leave behind Dao injuries, and one would probably not be able to advance an inch for the rest of one’s life. Even if it was the best Dao foundation, what use was it?

Dao injuries were not ordinary injuries. If one wanted to treat them, one had to find peerless immortal medicine.

Not to mention Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, even Soul Formation Realm big shots would not have much chance of finding such peerless immortal herbs.

Therefore, Zhu Zheng wanted to find a secret technique that could melt his Dao foundation.

Coincidentally, his senior brother, Xu Muqi, found out about this and set a trap for him.

He wanted to directly use Zhu Zheng’s Foundation Establishment spiritual item on his disciple.

He Qingge’s thought of escaping quickly faded away.

No matter what, there was no way he could escape from this place.

Whether it was Zhu Zheng or Xu Muqi, they probably would not let him go.

The best way for him now was to wait for them to fight. It would be best if both of them were injured. Perhaps he could still pick up the spoils of the war.

Of course, this was the best scenario. It was already the best outcome if he could escape safely.

What he was conflicted about now was whether Zhu Zheng knew that he had been schemed against.

If he knew and his defensive measures were even stronger, it would be very difficult for He Qingge to survive. Even if Zhu Zheng did not know about his senior brother’s schemes, it was still hard for He Qingge to survive.

If he fled now, he would definitely die. No matter if it was Zhu Zheng or Xu Muqi, they definitely did not want their plans to fail.

The only way to survive was to squeeze out of the crevice and watch the tigers fight.

However, he was afraid that he would die before the two tigers fought.

It seemed that the reason why he and the rest were tied up here was to activate some kind of array. Moreover, it looked like a sacrificial array.

He Qingge let the Sound-Gathering Butterfly play a light lullaby. Its voice was very soft, as if it was whispering in their ears.

The spiritual energy in these people’s bodies was all sealed. They could only be considered ordinary people. At most, their physical fitness was a little stronger than ordinary people.

After so many days, their spirits had long been low. As soft whisper rang in their ears, and they slowly fell into a deep sleep.

After everyone fell into a deep sleep, He Qingge still did not move.

He was not sure if Xu Muqi and Zhu Zheng had any way of monitoring the situation here, so it was better to be careful.

“Don’t make a sound, don’t turn your head, don’t move, and remain silent. I can help you escape. If you can hear me, slightly move your right pinky.”

He Qingge’s voice rang clearly in Wan Wan’s ears.

After contracting the Sound-Gathering Butterfly, the ability to transmit sound was almost instinctive. He did not need to cultivate any technique to master it.

Moreover, He Qingge had trained in this method for a long time when he was in seclusion, so he was quite familiar with it.

Wan Wan’s eyes were a little confused and stunned. She even thought that this was all an illusion.

He Qingge repeated it two more times, bringing it to a total of three times. His voice sounded very clearly in her ears.

Only then did Wan Wan realize that she might not be hallucinating. Moreover, so what if it was a hallucination? It was just a twitch of her pinky finger.

Wan Wan shook her right pinkie three times without batting an eyelid.

He Qingge stared at Wan Wan the whole time and only relaxed when he saw her pinkie moving. It seemed like she could hear him.

“Do you want to get out of here? If you do, move your right pinkie a few more times. If you don’t, you don’t have to move it at all.”

Wan Wan obediently moved her pinkie a few times and was quite excited. After suffering for such a long time, she could finally escape the sea of suffering.

After such a long time, she was not a fool. She already knew that Zhu Zheng’s so-called immortal cultivation was definitely not normal immortal cultivation.

Instead, he wanted to use her as a Foundation Establishment spiritual item. In the end, her consciousness would probably be erased, and she would become a spiritual item without any consciousness.

She shuddered at the thought of such an outcome.

“I can help you unlock your magic tool, but not now. I hope you can calm down and remain calm. If you can accept it, shake your right pinky twice, not once.”

Wan Wan obediently shook her pinkie twice.

“Can you speak now?”

Wan Wan shook her right pinky twice.

“Do you know his purpose?”

He was referring to Zhu Zheng.

Wan Wan was a little hesitant, not knowing if she should wave her finger twice.

She did not know much, but she was not completely clueless.

The first time she had received the baptism of the enormous essence energy, it had opened the first stage of the Heavenly Demon Charm Body for her, and it had made her wish she was dead.

She begged Zhu Zheng to let her go. She did not want to cultivate with him anymore.

It was obvious that Zhu Zheng did not care about her thoughts at all.

She was extremely intelligent and knew that she was in a bad situation.

What happened next was even more outrageous. More than 300 people from the Zhu family died in front of her.

There was a river of blood, dying the array that was drawn in advance. All the Qi and blood were burning. Finally, the Qi and blood merged into her body.

Forcefully helping her cultivate, that kind of pain was simply indescribable. It hurt deep into her soul.

He Qingge saw that Wan Wan did not respond for a long time and asked tentatively, “You know a little, but not much?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Wan’s little pinky moved twice.

He Qingge heaved a sigh of relief and briefly explained their situation.

Of course, he only said that Zhu Zheng wanted to use her to build his foundation again and did not expose Zhu Zheng’s senior brother.

He Qingge did not completely trust Wan Wan.

Who knew if this was all an act to deceive him? Although Wan Wan’s cries were very miserable every time the spiritual energy entered her body, He Qingge still did not trust her completely.

Moreover, he did not know if the Foundation Establishment expert had any perverted methods of controlling people. If he could firmly control Wan Wan and make her loyal to him, then his identity would be exposed.

He could head to hell ahead of time.

He only had one life. The more careful he was, the better.

He Qingge briefly told Wan Wan about the points to pay attention to when building one’s foundation again.

For example, if one wanted to re-forge it, one would have to melt one’s current Dao foundation. One’s strength would decrease, and one would even suffer great damage.

Even with the method of melting one’s Dao foundation without injuries, one would still be weak for a long time.

Moreover, this method of melting the Dao foundation had been tampered with by Zhu Zheng’s senior brother, Xu Muqi. Who knew whether Zhu Zheng would die directly when it was time to melt his Dao foundation?

However, a powerhouse that could get into the Foundation Establishment Realm would definitely not be fooled so easily.

Even so, Xu Muqi had also vowed that he would definitely succeed. He was also a Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

There were less than three days left of the seven days that Zhu Zheng had mentioned.

He Qingge briefly explained his rescue plan.
