Chapter 88 Separation
Wang Shu watched as Wei Chen and Zhu Que exchanged ambiguous glances, spoke freely, and acted with unexpected generosity.
This is no longer a solid ally, is it?
Wang Shu thought about it more and more and it seemed very likely. She immediately became angry and said, "Did you send Zhuque to deceive the Star Clan?"
The two men froze, and Wei Chen quickly denied it. "No!"
"no!"
This matter must not be admitted, otherwise the glorious image that has been painstakingly built in Wang Shu's mind will surely collapse instantly.
Wang Shu pursed her lips and said nothing more. Judging from the two people's reactions, the answer was already obvious.
Wang Shu had already roughly guessed the relationship between the two. Without Wei Chen's permission, how could Zhu Que disregard her existence and deceive the Star Clan?
Wei Chen and Zhu Que exchanged a glance, knowing that the truth had been revealed, but since Wang Shu was not going to expose them, they would not make things difficult for themselves.
Wei Chen awkwardly changed the subject: "How is the battle between the Star Clan and the Beast Clan going?"
"The ferocious beasts have retreated!" said Zhuque.
"They retreated?" Wei Chen blinked, disbelievingly saying, "How is that possible? The ferocious beast clan came with great force, showing no sign of stopping until they took down the Star Clan. How could they suddenly retreat?"
"I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason either," Zhuque said, shaking her head in understanding.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment, then turned to Wang Shu and asked, "What are your thoughts on this?"
Wang Shu frowned, her expression shifting several times, but ultimately she remained silent.
Seeing this, Wei Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Are you still angry?"
Zhuque remained calm and composed, her fiery red lips slightly upturned, displaying an expression of anticipation for a good show.
"Why did you do this?" Wang Shu asked. She was also a member of the Star Clan and didn't understand why Wei Chen would collude with the Vermilion Bird, and why he wouldn't even spare her. This was what puzzled her the most.
All of Wei Chen's resources were given to her. Since he gave them to her, why did he collude with others to steal them?
Wang Shu became more and more confused as she thought about it, unable to believe it was true, but the facts were right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe it.
“Well…” Wei Chen organized his thoughts and said, “All of this is because of Suzaku…”
"Hmm!" Zhuque narrowed her eyes. This was a difficult scapegoat to take. If she admitted it, she would not only offend Wang Shu, but also make enemies of the Star Clan.
"Ahem~" Wei Chen was extremely embarrassed, realizing that he could not shirk responsibility, but he himself could not admit it.
"How could I have done something so harmful to myself and others?" Wei Chen thought regretfully. He knew he had dug his own grave this time, and he had no choice but to take the blame.
A myriad of schemes flashed through Wei Chen's mind like lightning. Finally, his eyes lit up, and he pondered, "There's nothing we can do about it. The ferocious beast race is too strong. If the two sides go to war, there will definitely be heavy casualties."
"The Vermilion Bird Clan has too many powerful enemies in the south. Once it falls into a weak position, the major powers in the south will gradually erode its foundation. Therefore, we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure to give the Vermilion Bird some compensation."
As Wei Chen spoke, he suddenly sighed, "The prehistoric world is too dangerous. One careless move and you could be tricked by others and forced to leave the prehistoric world."
"You must be well aware of the reasons why the top powers of the Primordial World are not coming to support the Star Clan. If the Vermilion Bird Clan's strength were suddenly halved, do you think the major powers in the South and the Primordial World would let them go?"
Wei Chen looked at Wang Shu and said solemnly, "I cannot let the Vermilion Bird Clan fall into utter ruin just because I am helping you."
Upon hearing this explanation, Wang Shu's doubts were immediately dispelled.
Wei Chen is absolutely right. The Vermilion Bird Clan has offended the top powers of the prehistoric world and ruined the plans of the Beast Clan. If the Vermilion Bird Clan suffers more than half of its strength in casualties, how could those powers possibly let the Vermilion Bird Clan go?
The Vermilion Bird Clan may suffer a great calamity as a result. Even if they are not wiped out, their future will not be easy.
Thinking of this, Wang Shu looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"
"It's alright, it's alright, as long as you understand my good intentions." Wei Chen waved his hand with a smile, feeling relieved.
Zhuque's dark eyes darted around, and she thought to herself, "What a pity, such a good show has come to an end."
Seeing Zhuque's expression, Wei Chen immediately understood what she was thinking. He secretly transmitted his voice, "Don't forget that you are the beneficiary, and I am the victim. If you dare to say anything out of line, see how I deal with you later."
"How could that be?" Suzaku replied.
"Sister Wangshu, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we are good sisters from now on." Zhuque wisely changed the subject.
Wei Chen was extremely satisfied with this and asked with a smile, "Wang Shu, what are your thoughts on the retreat of the ferocious beast race?"
“I think a large part of the reason for this is because of you,” Wang Shu said thoughtfully.
"Why?" Wei Chen asked with a smile.
"Because your formation is too powerful; one person alone can kill billions of ferocious beasts."
Wang Shu has a dignified demeanor, with a fair and full forehead that sparkles with wisdom, delicate eyebrows like willow branches, and bright, lively eyes.
She slowly explained, "This also shows that if you alone can kill billions of ferocious beasts, then how much worse can the Star Clan be? The Star Clan is the strongest race besides the ferocious beast race, and it is also the race of destiny in the primordial world. Its foundation and strength are unfathomable."
"Of course, the biggest reason that made the Beast Clan retreat was because of the Star Clan's trump card. The Beast Clan must have seen this out, so they retreated when faced with difficulties."
After speaking, Wang Shu looked at Wei Chen, raised her beautiful face, and waited for his evaluation.
"Good!" Wei Chen exclaimed, "You guessed perfectly. I know your intellect is no less than that of the strongest beings in the primordial world; all you lack is experience."
Wang Shu smiled happily upon receiving the praise. In her heart, nothing could compare to Wei Chen's compliment.
……
After a long conversation, it was time for the three to part ways.
After giving some instructions, Wei Chen took out five Pure Spirit Rejuvenation Fruits and gave them to Wang Shu, telling her to cultivate diligently.
Wei Chen watched as she gradually disappeared, and sighed inwardly.
"Are you really willing to let your little woman leave? Aren't you afraid she'll be tricked by someone else?" Zhuque teased.
“Sigh, I don’t want her to leave either! But the karma I carry is too heavy, and I don’t want to harm her,” Wei Chen said.
"Is there any way to resolve this?" Suzaku asked worriedly, knowing the terrible consequences of cause and effect.
"No!" Wei Chen sighed. "Originally, I wanted to draw out the Destruction Lightning Tribulation, intending to use the ferocious beasts and the great formation to help me overcome the world-destroying tribulation and wash away all my karma. Unfortunately, now everything has come to nothing!"
"This is too dangerous, let's try another method," Zhuque advised.
"Hmm!" Although Wei Chen had never seen a destructive lightning tribulation, he could guess a thing or two. That kind of lightning tribulation could definitely kill a perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Although the destructive lightning tribulation is terrifying and boundless, its benefits are also astonishing. Only by passing through the tribulation can one's karma and karmic burdens be washed away, thus gaining a new life.
