Chapter 697 Traitor! Traitor!
The heads of various noble families in the Taoist Alliance were very secretive about this and knew nothing about it.

For several months, rumors were spreading, but the Taoist Alliance did not come out to clarify.

Only Xiao Ning from the Xiao family was left. This new upstart of the Dao League who could compete with those geniuses became even more popular because of his relationship with Murong Ji.

As a result, the Xiao family's reputation continued to rise, gradually returning to its peak period.

But Xiao Wancheng no longer has the ambition he had in the past. He only hopes to live a peaceful life, that the Taoist Alliance can survive this disaster safely, and that the Xiao family can also survive this disaster.

Fortunately, Xiao Ning was not a person who was willing to cause trouble, nor was he a meddlesome person. Under the arrangement of his elders, he gradually took over some of the real power work of the Taoist Alliance.

He still followed the previous system and methods step by step, and his attention was still on honing his sword skills. This kind of neither humble nor arrogant steadiness not only made Xiao Wancheng very satisfied with him, but also many family heads such as the Wang Quan family were very satisfied with him.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo, who had fought with Tushan Honghong, fell seriously ill after returning.

He was born weak and had suffered serious injuries that could not be healed for a long time. Now, every time he swung the sword, he was almost consuming his limited lifespan.

This illness almost took away half of Wang Quan Shouzhuo's life. He barely survived the crisis, but he no longer had the energy to handle the affairs of the sect.

You can disperse your abilities and focus on recuperation.

At the same time, Wang Quanzui slowly woke up, and a few months later, under the arrangement of Wang Quan's family, she married into the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, she didn't cry or shed tears of grievance, but got married calmly and gracefully, as if the originally lively and lovely girl had grown up all of a sudden.

Murong Ji was in Tushan, but on the wedding day, one of Murong Ji's robes was used to marry him.

The remaining three members of the masked group were almost all silent and no longer as energetic as before.

After seeing how vast the world is, I realized how ignorant I was, and I regretted my impulsiveness even more.

Wang Quan Baiye has always hoped to regain his spiritual heart and meet the person dear to his heart. Unfortunately, the tragic death of his brother once again echoed in his heart and in his memory.

Under the human city wall, the words of comfort from the family heads and their heart-wrenching sobs lingered around him like a nightmare.

I can't forget, I can't forgive myself, and I'm too ashamed to see anyone.

Li Quzhuo was the same. All he could do was to refine magic weapons over and over again. Refining more magic weapons for the disciples of the Dao League...

Yang sighed. With one arm and one leg broken, his foundation was greatly damaged, and the third eye on his forehead was dug out by his own hands. He became a complete cripple.

He hid in the Yang family's yard every day. He was afraid of seeing people. When he saw people, he would cover his eyes in a hurry. Some even dug out his own eyes. He was crazy and mad.

The one who seemed to be in the best condition among the masked group was Wang Quanzui. With the help of Mang Shirui, she step by step took control of the Chen family's power, the medicine business, and the training of disciples, and became a qualified mistress of the family.

At this time, a retainer of the Chen family, Jade-faced Wind Lord, became famous in the Taoist Alliance.

The Chen family's cultivation philosophy emphasizes seeking truth from facts and never talks about empty moves. Even in their philosophy, magic weapons are just tools to improve cultivation.

It is completely different from the mainstream of the Taoist Alliance.

After Murong Ji's battle outside the circle, this view became even more popular among the younger generation of the Taoist Alliance, and some people even explored how to use magic weapons to enhance their own cultivation.

Jade-faced Wind Lord is one of the best among them.

With this help, Wang Quan saved a lot of energy and had someone to help him with many outside matters.

What has always worried everyone in the Daodao League is that no news has been sent back about Murong Ji's whereabouts and condition of his injuries.

Half a year later.

Murong Ji woke up slowly, glanced at the translucent Hongmeng Tianzhong floating above his chest, and let out a long breath.

Just as he was about to move, he felt numb all over, as if his body was no longer his own. It seemed that this was caused by excessive damage to his own spirit and soul.

Murong Ji was prepared and was not surprised by this result. He lowered his head to glance at his chest, where there seemed to be some energy that was constantly lingering in front of his chest and was draining away his life. Fortunately, there was a huge piece of wood that was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his vitality.

Murong Ji suddenly thought that this was a way to comprehend the law of time. Now, when he carefully sensed his chest, he found that it had become different.

As for how it is different, it is that it is gradually resisting the erosion of time, just like the Hongmeng Tianzhong resists the erosion of time, and eventually becomes more and more resilient.

Murong Ji suddenly thought that using this method to allow the whole body to adapt and thus comprehend the law of time is not a bad method and can be considered a labor-saving way.

After taking a quick glance at the surroundings and finding himself at the Twin Peaks of Tushan, Murong Ji's heart skipped a beat and a bad feeling filled his heart.

Quickly activate the restrictions on your body.

On Murong Ji's body, from the thighs to the lower abdomen, bursts of golden light slowly bloomed, and after confirming that there was no problem, Murong Ji let out a long breath of foul air.

It was a blessing that he had not been harmed by that fox. It was not that Murong Ji was not confident in his own methods, but that the various methods in this world were too strange.

Who can guarantee that there is no way to break through the limitations of the toad's blood?
Thinking of this, Murong Ji's face instantly became solemn, and he hurried to check his own essence. He was stunned for a moment, and his pure white essence was stained with a light green color.

It looks like it will take quite some time. After a while, it will become jadeite...

For a moment, Murong Ji wanted to cry but had no tears. He had practiced hard for many years, but it was all lost in one move. The origin was complicated. How much effort and time would it take for him to refine it again? !

Night gradually fell.

Murong Ji looked at the hole above the furnace, where the power of heaven and earth was continuously being smelted. He let out a long breath. What else could he do?
Who would have thought that Tushan Rongrong really found a way to break through the toad's blood.

Murong Ji slowly drew on Tushan's power of heaven and earth to replenish himself. This method was quite useful. [Can we also use the power of heaven and earth to refine our essence? ]

He had thought of this idea a long time ago, but the risk was too great, and he had a better way, so there was no need to suffer that pain. Now it was different, he had to find some way to improve the efficiency of smelting the origin.

Suddenly, the power of heaven and earth was cut off, and its source was gone.

Murong Ji turned his eyes and looked, and saw that the sky above the furnace was slowly covered by something, temporarily blocking the power of heaven and earth.

A vine-like branch slowly spread out from the hole.

"The giant tree of bitterness?!"

Murong Ji was confused, then he realized that he had fallen into this situation most likely because of the involvement of the Giant Tree of Bitterness, otherwise... Tushan Rongrong didn't have that ability.

Before he could make any move, he frowned. The aura of this giant tree of suffering was not right. He was very familiar with that aura. It was Tu Shan Rong Rong! !

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw it with his own eyes. The disciple he had trained so carefully was trying to find a way to infringe on his authority.

The branches of the bitter love tree stretched out like vines in front of Murong Ji's bed.

Only at this moment did he understand what means Tushan Rongrong had used to integrate her body into the giant bitter tree, and then use this method to control Tushan's power of heaven and earth to achieve her certain goals.

Everything that is shown outside is her external incarnation.

With the skills taught by Murong Ji and the Law of Heaven and Earth, no matter how she relaxes her vigilance, she cannot be assimilated by the Giant Bitterness Tree. She can even influence the rules of the Giant Bitterness Tree to a certain extent.

This is the existence of the bug. For the Red Line Fairy, she is the rule of the Bitter Love Tree.

[Only Tu Shan Rong Rong could come up with such a shameless method.] Murong Ji cursed in his heart. If he could speak, Murong Ji would have wanted to point at Tu Shan Rong Rong's nose and curse her.

The branches of the giant tree of suffering spread to Murong Ji's body, and then slowly wrapped around his body. What surprised Murong Ji was why the Hongmeng Tianzhong had no reaction?
On the branches, rich colors slowly bloomed, like a dream, gradually revealing the true form of Tushan Rongrong.

With a height of about 1.5 meters, she looked petite and cute, and still had that smiling face. As soon as she appeared, she sat directly on Murong Ji.

Her face is full of spring and tenderness, showing the woman's gentleness to the fullest.

The corners of Murong Ji's mouth twitched and his eyes rolled around.

Tu Shan Rong Rong trembled all over, and she clamped her legs tightly together in fear, her whole body tensed. This made Murong Ji frown...

Surprise, horror, panic, excitement... so many mixed emotions took turns playing out in Tushan Rongrong's emerald green pupils.

Tu Shan Rongrong then quickly calmed herself down, narrowed her eyes, pretended to be calm, and tried not to show any other emotions.

Murong Ji looked at the slender jade hand supporting his chest and narrowed his eyes slightly. If he had not clearly felt her tense body and slight trembling, he would have really been fooled by this girl.

It made him, as a master, feel that he had no authority and no deterrent effect on her.

"Oh, you're awake. You've been sleeping for half a year." Her voice was trembling, and she probably didn't even realize it herself.

Murong Ji glared at him. The numbness in his body had not subsided yet. This desperate fight consumed a lot of his soul power.

Don't think that the consumption of the Vajra Bracelet is small. This thing becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger force. The stronger Murong Ji is, the stronger its power will be. It seems that there is no upper limit.

He even suspected that as long as he was supplied with enough energy, he could easily kill the dead monkey.

After coming back to her senses, Tu Shan Rong Rong had calmed down a lot and carefully checked Murong Ji's body. "Well, it's good, you can't move yet."
