236: Luo Qingcheng took the initiative.

Inside the cave.

Jun Muqing was playing around with a man!

And that man's face...

Was actually his own?!

No, that's not right!

Gu Yun reacted instantly.

Someone had transformed into his appearance and was defiling his Muqing!

“Pfft—!”

In a fit of extreme rage, Gu Yun spat out another large mouthful of fresh blood, and his vision went black in waves.

He wanted to rush inside, but his heavily injured body couldn't even stand up; he could only desperately claw at the ground with his hands, his fingernails sinking deep into the soil.

Inside the cave, Cao Bu seemed to sense something and glanced toward the entrance, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he directly reverted to his original appearance.

“Gu Yun, be gentler.” Jun Muqing's eyes were hazy, completely immersed, entirely unaware that the “Gu Yun” before her had already reverted to Cao Bu's form.

While the real Gu Yun was outside the cave, watching all of this with his own eyes.

Seeing the true face revealed by “Gu Yun,” Gu Yun's pupils constricted sharply!

In an instant, all past memories surged back like a tide.

Gu Lingshuang's framing, Li Xinxue's betrayal... everything.

So the one who framed him really was Cao Bu!

“Cao Bu—!!”

He roared through gritted teeth, his voice carrying blood and tears, then exerted all his strength trying to stand up and rush into the cave.

But as soon as he stood, his figure staggered and he collapsed heavily to the ground again.

He could only arduously claw at the ground with his hands, crawling toward the cave step by step, his eyes filled with despair.

He wanted to kill Cao Bu; he must tear Cao Bu into ten thousand pieces!

Right at that moment.

Under this commotion, Jun Muqing also regained a bit of her senses.

When the face before her was no longer Gu Yun's.

She suddenly screamed: “Ah! You... who are you?!”

The corner of Cao Bu's mouth curled slightly: “Your husband, of course.”

“Muqing.”

Suddenly, a familiar and weak voice came from the cave entrance.

Jun Muqing turned her head sharply, her pupils instantly contracting!

She saw Gu Yun covered in wounds, his breath faint, lying on the ground, using his last bit of strength to look at her.

He wanted to crawl, but he could no longer move, only able to stare fixedly at Cao Bu with blood-red eyes.

“Gu Yun?!”

Jun Muqing screamed, wanting to break free from Cao Bu, only to find her body was completely out of her control.

As soon as her Great Emperor Peak aura flashed, the Law she wanted to mobilize instantly collapsed!

In an instant, she completely panicked, looking at Cao Bu in terror: “You, what did you do to me?!”

“What else could it be?” Cao Bu smiled playfully: “With your intelligence, you should be able to guess.”

Jun Muqing's pupils shrank as she reacted instantly: “It was that diagram just now. That wasn't a diagram beneficial for our Cultivation at all, but something to control me!”

Cao Bu nodded with a smile: “Very smart. However, I am curious how you managed to Cultivate to the Emperor Realm when you trust others so easily.”

Jun Muqing's fists were clenched tight, her knuckles turning white.

She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling: “It's you, you cheated my trust in Gu Yun!”

After saying that, she struggled violently, but it was still to no avail; her body felt as if it didn't belong to her.

She hurriedly reached out a helping hand toward Gu Yun, her voice carrying a sob: “Gu Yun, save me.”

“Cao Bu! If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!!”

Gu Yun roared through gritted teeth, yet he couldn't even crawl an inch, only able to watch helplessly.

Cao Bu didn't speak, only focused on his Cultivate.

Time passed minute by minute.

Gu Yun closed his eyes, a deep sense of despair welling up in his heart.

Looking at that cruel scene not far away, he finally couldn't help but cry, tears of blood streaming down.

“Cao Bu, let go of Muqing, I beg you, let her go.”

His voice was hoarse, every word carrying blood.

First there was Li Xinxue, and now Jun Muqing; he felt his entire world was collapsing.

Just then.

Cao Bu's gaze pierced through the cave entrance, looking out a million miles away.

In an instant, an even crazier plan surged into his mind.

The next moment, with a thought, he put Jun Muqing into the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram.

Then he waved his hand and threw the dying Gu Yun into another sealed space within the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.

Then he quickly put on his clothes, transformed back into Gu Yun's appearance once more, took out a bottle of passion potion from his storage ring, and tilted his head back to swallow it all.

Immediately, Cao Bu felt his whole body burning with unbearable heat, his consciousness nearly swallowed by the surging desire.

Cao Bu cursed inwardly: Fuck, I swallowed too much.

He suppressed the discomfort, gave a few instructions to Fang Ruodan inside the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, and then lay weakly on the ground, putting on a look of painful struggle.

All of this was completed almost in an instant.

The next moment, a powerful Divine Sense swept over Cao Bu's body.

In the following moment, a graceful figure appeared before Cao Bu.

It was precisely Luo Qingcheng.

“Yun'er! What happened to you? Why are you covered in wounds?!”

Luo Qingcheng saw Cao Bu's heavy breathing, scattered consciousness, and burning body, and was immediately anxious as if on fire.

Using Gu Yun's tone, Cao Bu spoke intermittently: “Mother, save me, I've been poisoned by a love poison, I'm about to die.”

“What?!” Luo Qingcheng turned pale with fright, hurriedly grabbing Cao Bu's hand and pouring her Destruction Law into his body, instantly feeling a massive and strange love poison crazily devouring Cao Bu's Primordial Spirit.

“Yun'er, what exactly is going on?!”

Cao Bu gritted his teeth, explaining with difficulty: “It's the Time Emperor. I saved her, but she returned kindness with enmity, gave me this love poison, and left.”

Killing intent rose in Luo Qingcheng's eyes, her Emperor's pressure unconsciously spreading.

She indeed felt another dissipating Emperor Realm aura within this cave.

It should be the Time Emperor Cao Bu mentioned.

“Yun'er, don't worry, this poison shouldn't be too powerful, I'll save you now.”

After saying that, Luo Qingcheng immediately circulated her cultivation, her majestic Emperor's power pouring into Cao Bu's body, attempting to forcibly dispel the love poison.

However, in the next moment, she felt another extremely strange force appear within Cao Bu's body, actually preventing her from neutralizing the love poison and even rebounding her Emperor's power!

Instantly, Luo Qingcheng's brows locked tight, and her expression became very ugly.

After a quarter of an hour, Luo Qingcheng's face was so dark it could drip water.

She still hadn't neutralized the love poison in Cao Bu's body!

Instead, Cao Bu's Primordial Spirit was growing weaker and weaker, and the love poison was spreading faster!

Cao Bu gritted his teeth hard, his eyes bloodshot; looking at Luo Qingcheng before him, his desire could no longer be suppressed, and he lunged directly at her.

“Yun'er! What are you doing! Let go of Mother!”

Luo Qingcheng was both shocked and anxious, wanting to push him away but afraid of hurting him.

Using his last shred of reason, Cao Bu said with difficulty: “Mother, the Time Emperor said that to neutralize this poison, one must Cultivate, otherwise I will surely die.”

Luo Qingcheng's face turned pale, and she instantly panicked: “Yun'er, wait! I just sensed Heart Snow and the others nearby, I'll have her come and neutralize the poison for you!”

Cao Bu gritted his teeth, his voice growing weaker: “Mother, it would have been fine just now, but there's no more time. I must Cultivate within one breath, otherwise my Primordial Spirit will collapse.”

As he spoke, Cao Bu's last shred of reason was completely swallowed by desire.

He pushed Luo Qingcheng down again.

Feeling Cao Bu's Primordial Spirit that was almost about to dissipate, Luo Qingcheng instantly believed his words.

Even if she could snatch Li Xinxue from across the distance, it would take at least three breaths of time.

Though it was short, for the current Cao Bu, one breath was the gap between life and death!

A thousandth of a blink passed.

A hundredth of a blink passed.

A tenth of a blink passed.

Half a breath passed.

Finally, a flash of angry helplessness and determination crossed Luo Qingcheng's eyes.

With a wave of her hand, she set up a barrier that isolated everything, a sky-toppling resentment and pain welling up in the depths of her eyes.

Damn Time Emperor, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!!
