At the moment the mother insect died, Huo Qianshan felt an indescribable pain sweep over his entire body, and he almost uncontrollably let out a cry of pain from his throat.

“Uncle Huo!” Jiang Wuyuan frowned suddenly, as if he understood something, and immediately reached out his hand in Huo Qianshan’s direction, “Uncle Huo, I’ll take you away.”

Huo Qianshan's entire body was being slowly corroded, but he still forcefully shook off Jiang Wuyuan's hand: "Quick... go!"

Standing opposite the two, Yingyue quietly observed their struggle.

Yingyue's confidence gave Jiang Wuyuan the opportunity to escape.

A flash of light appeared at his fingertips, and ignoring Huo Qianshan's obstruction, he stepped forward again to put his arm around the shoulder of the man who was almost unsteady on his feet: "Uncle Huo, come with me."

As he spoke, he immediately activated the space stone in his hand.

Huo Qianshan seemed to have sensed something, but he could clearly feel his life slipping away.

He might leave this world forever in a little while.

In that instant, perhaps a little regret was felt.

I regret being born into the Huo family, and I regret being unable to escape the control of this enormous vortex.

However, he ultimately did what he believed was right.

That's enough to make this life worthwhile.

Cracks gradually appeared on Huo Qianshan's face. The deep wounds, which exposed bone, did not bleed at all. Instead, the bodies of the Gu worms could be seen surging under the skin.

He used all his strength again to knock Jiang Wuyuan's hand away.

This time, Huo Qianshan really had no strength left.

As his body fell downwards, he saw Jiang Wuyuan's eyes.

For the first time since they met, those eyes, which had always been indifferent, revealed such a rich expression.

Worry, tension, surprise, and a touch of heart-wrenching pain.

Jiang Wuyuan was surprised that Huo Qianshan broke free from his grasp again, so much so that he didn't even have time to react before the teleportation function of the space stone was activated instantly.

In the last second before leaving, he understood the plea in Huo Qianshan's eyes.

They prayed that he could save Huo Ling's life if possible.

Seeing that Jiang Wuyuan was really going to escape from her sight, Yingyue immediately stopped pretending to be elegant and reached out to slap the spatial rift that had suddenly appeared.

Buzz—

A sudden burst of intense energy erupted from the spatial rift, colliding violently with Shadowmoon's attack.

The moment Jiang Wuyuan's body was enveloped by the spatial rift, Yingyue saw an extremely strong killing intent in his eyes.

It was like a sharpened sword, so sharp that even she dared not look directly at it.

"Damn it." Yingyue cursed inwardly as she watched Jiang Wuyuan's figure disappear before her eyes.

She turned to look at the man lying on the ground, almost dead, and walked towards him menacingly.

"I never imagined that during the time you were cut off from the organization, your Huo family would actually choose to betray us." Yingyue placed one foot on Huo Qianshan's chest, her slender high heel pressing directly against his chest, but Huo Qianshan remained unresponsive as if he were dead. "Have you really forgotten who gave you the confidence to live in this cultivation world back then?"

Huo Qianshan still did not react.

His body trembled slightly from the intense pain, but his eyes remained resolute.

Just like when she first met Jiang Wuyuan, the imposing yet gentle city lord of Shanhai City.

Yingyue lost interest.

Remembering Pei Feng's instruction not to kill Huo Ling, she reluctantly abandoned the idea of ​​killing Huo Ling in front of Huo Qianshan.

"Hmph." As if venting her anger, Yingyue kicked away the corpse of Huo Qianshan, who had just breathed his last. She took out a recording stone and held it in her hand, preparing to go back to report to the Holy Son.

——

Jiang Wuyuan set the teleportation point of the space stone in the dormitory of Zhantian Academy.

Fortunately, the quality of this space stone was good enough to allow him to be teleported from such a distant place as Shanhai City.

However, when Jiang Wuyuan landed, the space stone in his hand shattered out of thin air.

Jiang Wuyuan knew that this space stone was no longer usable.

But he doesn't have time to care about these things right now.

He must find Huo Ling quickly.

If that woman, disregarding everything, also triggers the Gu poison within Huo Ling's body...

Jiang Wuyuan's mind flashed back to the image of Huo Qianshan's tragic death.

He closed his eyes, feeling somewhat powerless, then resolutely opened them again.

He guessed that Night Owl would no longer target Huo Ling—because Night Owl wanted to deal with him.

The fact that Night Owl was able to trace Huo Qianshan through clues shows that Night Owl has an extremely wide network of information, so they probably still have a use for keeping Huo Ling alive.

So Jiang Wuyuan used the bracelet to quickly contact Huo Ling, who was on his friend list.

Instead of sending a message, he made a phone call.

The call was answered quickly.

"Huo Ling." Jiang Wuyuan tried to steady his voice.

He hoped that Huo Qianshan had already arranged Huo Ling's whereabouts when he was ready to confess to him, instead of letting Huo Ling continue to stay in the Huo family villa in Shanhai City. "Where are you?"

"Huh? Ice cube? It's rare for you to call me so late." Huo Ling's voice was a little smug, but also a little sleepy. "Ah... I'm at Zhan Tian Academy, I was just sleeping."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, but my dad insisted I come back early. I don't know what's gotten into him."

Jiang Wuyuan's rapidly beating heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Judging from Huo Ling's voice, he must be alright.

That's good.

Once he finds a way to cure the poison, he'll tell Huo Ling everything: "Are you in the dorm? I...."
