Betrayal?

Even if it’s forced, betrayal is not a good choice in the Hidden Star World, unless he has another way to leave this realm.

Jiang Wang thought, still hiding in the red-dressed mirror, not moving at all.

Even when the middle-aged man quickly walked out of the Red-Dressed Mirror’s range of sight.

After waiting for about half an hour, the middle-aged man reappeared in his sight.

At this time, he looked a bit disheveled, with injuries on his body, but he was flying very fast. He was not flying at high altitude, but flying close to the ground, with the soles of his boots less than a foot away from the ground.

Behind him, a gray giant wolf taller than an adult was chasing after him relentlessly.

Jiang Wang noticed that the middle-aged man seemed to be in a state of panic, but his route was very clear from beginning to end – what he was planning was already obvious.

The man and the wolf quickly ran to the edge of the Nine Whirlpool Quicksand.

The gray giant wolf seemed to be a little wary of the Nine Whirlpool Quicksand, but in the end, it couldn’t resist the yearning for “food.”

It approached step by step.

Tian He retreated directly behind Liu Si’s corpse.

As expected, the gray giant wolf didn’t stand on ceremony with him, swallowing Liu Si’s corpse clean in two or three bites, leaving nothing but some bloodstains.

After eating the woman, it yearned for this kind of “food” even more, looking at Tian He with lingering desire, and letting out a threatening growl.

Tian He put away the small knife and pretended to flee in a panic.

As expected, the gray giant wolf pounced swiftly, tearing several wounds deep enough to see the bone on his back with one claw.

Tian He turned around expressionlessly and pressed the gray giant wolf’s head.

The gray giant wolf, bearing this press, bit forward fiercely.

Teeth interlocked, tearing a piece of flesh from Tian He’s abdomen.

But because the distance was under Tian He’s control, this bite looked terrifying but wasn’t fatal.

The gray giant wolf succeeded in succession, becoming even more manic, roaring and continuing to bite.

“Get lost.”

Tian He looked at its eyes coldly.

The gray giant wolf didn’t have much intelligence, but it instinctively felt a great fear. It turned around, tucked its tail, and fled.

Tian He carefully looked at the scene, making sure that the traces were all what he wanted. Only then did he stir up his Tongtian Palace, creating the appearance of a huge Dao Yuan consumption.

He painstakingly treated his wounds, creating the effect that he was treating them very carefully, but he was unable to do so and was very reluctant.

After finishing all this and making sure that everything was foolproof, he slumped down wearily.

The rest was to wait for Tian Chang and others to come out, and he would faint just before that.

Let them find the clues and answers themselves.

For him, this was not risky. He knew Tian Chang very well, knew everyone in the team, and knew what kind of inferences they would make.

Killing Liu Si was not a difficult thing, but if this woman hadn’t provoked him again and again, he wouldn’t have acted at all. He was not a person who was willing to take risks.

From beginning to end, Tian He’s face never changed while doing all of this.

It was always so dull, as if he could endure anything.

He slumped down, silently thinking about his plans. Then he saw a figure carrying a sword approaching, from far to near.

This person was covering his head, covering it very tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Very young eyes.

He was carrying a sword in his hand, a snake-tongue-like sword. It looked like a soft sword, but it was very straight at this time. His fingers were slender, but his knuckles were distinct, fair, but very strong.

His sword must be very fast.

Tian He thought.

Tian He didn’t make any movements, just watched.

It was difficult to deceive Tian Chang, so he didn’t “deceive”. He was really seriously injured and really consumed a lot of Dao Yuan.

Of course, he still had trump cards, but the reason why trump cards are trump cards is because they are not often revealed.

He chose to endure.

The person who came could only be Jiang Wang, of course.

Walking closer, he was even more impressed by this middle-aged man’s state of mind.

So calm.

His appearance was obviously very unexpected and obviously very dangerous. But this person was still terrifyingly calm.

This required an extremely persevering heart, an extremely strong will, and the confidence to face everything.

This person was definitely not simple.

He shouldn’t just be an attendant of the Tian Clan.

“Sorry.” Jiang Wang stopped at the most suitable distance for him to launch an attack and said very politely, “Can I ask why you killed her?”

Tian He was still that taciturn person, and said in a muffled voice: “She’s too stupid.”

“Stupidity is indeed an unbearable thing.” Jiang Wang nodded in agreement, and then said firmly: “You should be very smart.”

“Not too hasty.” Tian He said, looking into his eyes: “Otherwise, how could I have given you a chance?”

“I know you must have trump cards, but I can definitely kill you.” There was a trace of calm smile in Jiang Wang’s eyes: “You should know why I didn’t do it, right?”

“You are very confident.” Tian He looked at him with a dull expression.

Jiang Wang raised his sword casually: “Maybe you are too.”

Tian He was silent for a while, and finally shook his head lightly.

He said: “Gongyang Lu followed his father out of the famous Gongyang family of the Qin State since he was a child. The Tian family took them in. His father is crippled, but he is very talented and is a master of formations. If nothing unexpected happens, the Nine Whirlpool Quicksand will definitely not be able to stop them.”

“The location of the Hidden Star World was deduced by Duke Anping. The purpose of our trip is to obtain a native treasure of this realm. I don’t know what it is specifically, but it should be a life-extending treasure that has never been seen in the world, and it should be here.”

“The Tian family is preparing to use this treasure to befriend an old monster.”

“As for who this old monster is and what the Tian family wants to do next, with my current position, I am not qualified to know yet.”

“Among these people, the strongest are Tian Chang and Tian Yong, both at the peak of the Tenglong stage. Gongyang Lu specializes in formations, and his combat power is also very good. The Tian Clan’s trump card for this trip is a set of killing arrays. The array plate is on Gongyang Lu. Ten people can form an array, which can fight against an Internal Palace powerhouse. The rest of the people are all candidates for the killing array because they didn’t know what the situation would be in this world in advance and whether the team could be put together.”

Tian He was indeed a smart person. Once he decided to compromise, he told all the information Jiang Wang wanted to know without waiting for Jiang Wang to ask. It saved a lot of trouble.

Jiang Wang thought for a while and said: “I want to seize that treasure and don’t want to reveal my identity. You have to help me.”

“Okay.” Tian He agreed very decisively: “But I can’t make it too obvious.”

“It seems that you plan to stay in the Tian family for a long time.”

“This should be beyond the scope of our transaction.”

“Of course.” Jiang Wang didn’t try to anger him: “I fully respect your privacy. Look, I didn’t even ask your name.”

Of course, there was no need to ask his name. These were the only people from the Tian family who entered the Seven Stars Tower this time, and this was the only one in his forties. It was too easy to find out.

After hanging out with Zhong Xuansheng and Xu Xiangqian for a long time, nothing else happened, but he learned to say more good things.

Tian He glanced at him, seemingly finding his flattery ridiculous.

“I have spent forty-three years of my life in the Tian family.”

Jiang Wang originally thought that this person was going to say something about deep feelings, but he continued: “It’s better to do something you’re familiar with.”

So he didn’t plan to leave the Tian family.

This was to continue showing Jiang Wang his cards in exchange for a certain degree of trust.

“I admire people with firm goals. Our transaction is only limited to today. As for what you do in the future, I will not interfere with you.” Jiang Wang reciprocated and made a promise.

Tian He didn’t speak, didn’t say he believed it, and didn’t say he didn’t believe it.

But Jiang Wang understood that if this person was confident, he would definitely kill him here. Under this person’s dull skin, there was a cold and tenacious heart.

Because he had witnessed this person killing Liu Si, he had grasped his weakness. Anyone with long-term goals would not allow their weakness to be held in someone else’s hands if possible.

“Observe the quicksand.” Jiang Wang said.

Tian He didn’t say anything and directly turned his head to stare at the Nine Whirlpool Quicksand.

Behind him, Jiang Wang stood in place and silently put on the Concealment Robe.
