Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Inside the Misty Forest.

"Hey, the Ning guy behind us, can you please walk faster? We still have to catch spirit beasts, can you please not hold us back?"

A tall and strong man with a sonorous voice in the group showed impatience and urged the young man at the end of the team.

"Third Brother, I'm sorry, I'm too badly injured, and I can't mobilize my internal energy to catch up with you for the time being."

"It's okay, you go ahead and mark the way, I'll catch up later."

The speaker was a handsome, thin, and humble young man.

His surname was Ning, and his name was Zhengze.

He naturally exuded a kind of affinity that made it difficult for people to feel disgusted, and he was very kind.

But at this moment, his condition looked a little bad.

His clothes were stained with blood, his black hair was messy, his steps were weak, and his breath was weak and intermittent.

It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

The man called the third brother had no sympathy for him at all.

With his arms folded across his chest, he looked calm, his eyes were cold, and he said in a cold and inhuman way: "Humph, it should have been done long ago."

"This time the Misty Forest is open, all the independent cultivators and sects are racing against time to find the spirit beast."

"Are all of us going to miss this rare opportunity because of your personal reasons!"

Faced with the aggressive and harsh words of the third senior brother, Ning Zhengze did not refute angrily, but chose to remain silent.

And none of the other male and female disciples in the team, as well as the elders and strong men who accompanied him, spoke for Ning Zhengze.

The third senior brother named Gong Yangxia snorted coldly and said to an old man beside him: "Master Tao, let's not worry about him, speed up, if we go a step later, the spirit beast will be captured by other sects."

The peak master is in charge of the main peak of the sect and all internal affairs.

His status is above the hall master, and even above the elders.

The peak master surnamed Tao nodded lightly.

At this moment, Dong Qingyu, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress and was beautiful, spoke up, "This is not good. There are many poisonous beasts in the misty forest, and he is seriously injured. How can we leave him here alone?"

Master Tao's face sank, but he didn't say anything.

The stern and cold look on Gong Yangxia's face immediately disappeared, and he turned to look at Dong Qingyu, with a pleasant face and tenderness.

"Qingyu, we came to the Misty Forest this time with a heavy responsibility, and we need to race against time. We must not delay the big things because of a trivial matter."

Dong Qingyu frowned, "Human life is at stake, is it still a trivial matter? Third Brother, he is our junior brother after all, can you really bear to leave him here alone and let him fend for himself?"

Gong Yangxia sighed and said, "Alas, I don't want to, but in order to complete the palace master's entrustment, someone must make sacrifices."

"Even if you don't want to make sacrifices, I won't force you, but you can't drag everyone down, Junior Sister Qingyu, do you think what Senior Brother said is right?"

Dong Qingyu disagreed with his point of view, thinking that what he said was all perverse, so she refuted.

"The master's entrustment is important, but human life is also not cheap."

"Senior Brother, I know you have always been prejudiced against Junior Brother..., but you can't take revenge at this time."

As soon as this was said, everyone in the team looked a little strange, and they all turned their heads away.

Gong Yangxia heard this, the smile and patience on his face faded, and he returned to indifference again.

He and Ning Zhengze did not get along, and the fundamental reason for his grudge was from the inner palace alchemy test two months ago.

At that time, the inner gate of the Liuding Liujia Palace held an alchemy competition called the inner palace alchemy test.

The inner palace alchemy test is held once a year, and its purpose is that the senior elders want to take the opportunity to motivate the disciples and encourage them to practice harder and study harder.

This year's inner palace alchemy test coincided with the retreat of the eldest and second disciples of the Liuding Liujia Palace, so the third disciple Gong Yangxia, who had never won the championship, naturally became the only candidate to win.

And the rewards given by the palace master for this year's inner palace alchemy test were also quite tempting.

In addition to rich cultivation resources and powerful secret magic, he also gave a copy of "Alchemist's Notes" written by him and the recipe of the Heavenly King Pill.

There is even a cluster of strange fire called Jiuming Yanqi.

For an alchemist, these three rewards are extremely tempting.

Especially the strange fire.

The improvement of the strange fire to the alchemist is very huge.

It's a pity that the strange fire is relatively rare, and the high-quality strange fire is even rarer. The general alchemist does not have it at all.

The reward for this inner court trial of the pill is the most generous in decades.

Countless disciples are extremely jealous and eager.

But they know in their hearts that these tempting and generous rewards are destined to be out of their reach.

Even Gongyang Xia and think that they have a sure win.

Looking at the entire Liuding Liujia Palace, among the younger generation, in the field of alchemy, except for the eldest disciple and the second disciple, he believes that no one can surpass him.

Even Dong Qingyu, who is called an alchemy genius by the palace master, Gongyang Xia is confident that he can beat her.

At least for now, he can beat her. Although she is gifted, she has been in contact with alchemy for too short a time, and there is no comparison at all.

This Nine Nether Flame Qi, he is determined to get it.

During the pill test in the inner palace, Gong Yangxia was in excellent condition and successfully refined a perfect quality Qianbao Pozhan Pill.

The quality was so perfect that even the Palace Master of Liuding Liujia Palace nodded repeatedly, very satisfied.

Just when everyone thought the champion was set, the elder who tested the pills opened the copper cover of an unknown disciple's alchemy furnace.

That disciple was Ning Zhengze.

The result is predictable. Ning Zhengze won the championship as a dark horse and made a big splash.

From then on, he became famous and was fought over by several peak masters, all of whom wanted to accept him as a disciple.

Gong Yangxia, who was deprived of the honor and reward, was naturally unwilling and gnashed his teeth. From then on, he hated him.

The reason why the Tao Peak Master disliked Ning Zhengze was because he had offered him an olive branch at the beginning, but the other party did not agree.

This made the Tao Peak Master feel very embarrassed. Although he did not show it on the surface, he already disliked Ning Zhengze in his heart.

During the operation in the Misty Forest, Ning Zhengze was attacked by a spirit beast and accidentally injured.

Gong Yangxia took the opportunity to target him and take revenge.

Master Tao saw it all, but instead of trying to dissuade him, he secretly fanned the flames, trying to trick Ning Zhengze.

Gong Yangxia said coldly: "Junior sister Qingyu, don't wrongly accuse me. I don't like him, but I'm not taking revenge. I'm just thinking about the overall situation."

"Before leaving, the palace master repeatedly told us to find the Lihuo Golden Cicada. If you delay things because of your womanly kindness, who will take the responsibility, you?"

Dong Qingyu said: "Junior brother is already Master Zhang's direct disciple. If he has an accident, how can we explain to Master Zhang?"

Gong Yangxia Ang He raised his head and said indifferently: "The Misty Forest is full of dangers, and casualties are inevitable. Whether to live or die depends on one's luck and ability."

"If he dies, that's his fate."

"If he doesn't die, it proves that he is not destined to die. This is such a simple truth. Master Zhang Feng is highly respected and knowledgeable. He must understand it more thoroughly. There is no need for Junior Sister to worry about it."

"You!"

Dong Qingyu was very angry at his sophistry. Her chest heaved and her silver teeth clenched.
