110: Chapter Conspiracy Emerges

They are the Giant Pincer Demon Scorpions raised by Guardian.

Old Woman He Qian looked at the insects crawling on the ground, showing no defensive movements. Those Giant Pincer Demon Scorpions also showed no intention of attacking people. They crawled around in place, found a dark crevice again, and hid themselves.

The Giant Pincer Demon Scorpion is completely black, its carapace is immune to fire, its two pincers have extremely strong biting force, and its tail has a venomous stinger whose venom has the effect of dissolving flesh and blood. It ranks 62 on the List of Strange Insects.

The cultivation method of the Giant Pincer Demon Scorpion is extremely special. After each pair of Giant Pincer Demon Scorpions mates, they will lay tens of thousands of eggs. Most of these eggs are not worthy of being called Giant Pincer Demon Scorpions. After these eggs hatch, they will enhance their Bloodline by fighting and devouring their own kind.

When the Bloodline concentration reaches a certain level, they will stop killing each other and become extremely united, and their strength will grow exponentially.

The strength of a single Giant Pincer Demon Scorpion may only rival a low-level Qi Refining Cultivator, but if tens of thousands of Giant Pincer Demon Scorpions cooperate together, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to retreat.

"Du Old Man, just put your heart at ease. The Quiet Rest Gu given by Guardian is guaranteed not to have any problems." Old Woman He Qian saw that Du Old still looked worried and said mockingly with a relaxed expression. "Besides, this place is full of demon insects raised by Guardian. Even if someone really finds this place, Guardian will know about it immediately."

"Old Woman He Qian, being careful is never wrong." After saying this, Du Old stopped talking and took out a Formation Plate from his storage bag and began to set it up.

Who would have thought that this plain-looking old man was actually a rare Formation Master.

On the other side, Hu Changqing, Lian Chilu, and several others appeared near the Small Jade Mountain spirit vein at this time.

"Everyone, Old Woman He Qian and Du Old must have already hidden the Meng Yunfan brothers by now. The next step is the most important part of Plan B."

"Later, I will go to see Meng Changxiu. You will be here to meet me. If things change, you will create chaos in the Meng Family and help me escape." Hu Changqing looked at the crowd and instructed.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, isn't this too risky? If the Meng Family doesn't give you a chance to speak, you might die at the hands of Meng Changxiu as soon as you meet." The strong man who was Hu Changqing's accomplice showed a worried expression on his face.

Plan B given by Guardian has too many loopholes. It is just the crudest way to achieve the goal and did not consider the survival rate of the few of them at all.

However, if they did not carry out the plan provided by Guardian, even if they managed to survive by chance, they would still suffer inhuman torture.

Thinking of Guardian's methods of torturing people, everyone shivered and trembled.

Hu Changqing pretended to be relaxed and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright. Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan are in our hands. Meng Changxiu will not act against me immediately because he is hesitant to take action that could harm them."

"I also have a First Order top-grade Space Breaking Talisman bestowed by Guardian here. When used, it can instantly move me several miles away. If Meng Changxiu insists on attacking, then I will rely on you all to cover me." Hu Changqing cupped his hands and said.

Compared to Hu Changqing, their task was relatively easier, just creating some chaos in the Meng Family spirit vein and not having to directly face a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Moreover, if the negotiation went smoothly, they wouldn't even need to show up. Of course, safety was relative. If Hu Changqing teleported away later and Meng Changxiu didn't chase after him, then the few of them would become tools to bear Meng Changxiu's wrath.

"Alas, we can only hope that Meng Changxiu will consider the lives of the Meng Family juniors." The few people didn't speak, but their eyes met, and none of them held any illusions about the possibility of this matter succeeding.

Among the few people, the one with the most relaxed expression was Lian Chilu, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

She chuckled, and a silver-bell-like voice rang out: "Hu Changqing, don't underestimate the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If you can't escape, we won't make unnecessary sacrifices to expose our identities."

Hu Changqing was startled upon hearing this, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about that. If I can't escape, then I can only blame my bad luck. You all can just disperse on your own."

After saying that, Hu Changqing flew towards the Meng Family mountain gate on his sword.

At this time, Meng Changxiu had just received a message talisman notification from Meng Changyi and was preparing to go to the valley location to investigate. As soon as he flew out of the Meng Family mountain gate, he saw Hu Changqing flying towards him on a Flying Sword, looking calm and composed.

"Alright, it really is finding something after searching high and low. You actually dare to come to my Meng Family. Do you really think my Meng Family is made of mud?" Meng Changxiu saw Hu Changqing's figure, his anger instantly soared, and he laughed out of extreme anger.

"You're courting death!"

Meng Changxiu, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, had profound spiritual energy, forming a powerful oppressive force that rolled towards Hu Changqing.

Hu Changqing was startled by this huge movement. He felt his breathing stop, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, making him instantly feel suffocated.

But he pretended to be calm, still looking composed and fearless.

"Uncle Meng, please calm down!" Hu Changqing cleared his throat and said, pretending to bow respectfully.

"Villain, where have you tied up my Yunfan and Yunxuan? Tell me their location obediently, and I will give you a quick death." Meng Changxiu's Foundation Establishment pressure was not restrained at all and completely poured onto Hu Changqing.

Hu Changqing was only a Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level Cultivator. How could he withstand the spiritual energy pressure of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator? He was seen swaying precariously under the pressure, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At this critical moment, Hu Changqing suddenly pulled out a message jade slip from his bosom, held it high, and shouted loudly, "Meng Changxiu, if you attack again, you will never see Meng Yunfan and Meng YunXuan again!"

When Meng Changxiu heard this, his figure suddenly paused, a few more scruples appeared in his eyes, and the pressure of spiritual energy also weakened slightly.

"Hu Changqing, you are courting death." Meng Changxiu glared angrily and roared in a low voice.

Hu Changqing felt the pressure around him ease slightly and laughed heartily, saying, "I know Senior Meng wishes he could cut me into a thousand pieces right now, but if Senior wants Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan to be safe and sound, please withdraw your pressure, and we can have a good talk."

"Hu Changqing, you are truly detestable. Speak, what is your purpose in plotting like this?" Meng Changxiu gritted his teeth and finally withdrew the pressure. He wanted to see what kind of trick Hu Changqing was playing.

To dare to kidnap the Meng Family juniors so boldly.

Seeing this, Hu Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but a smug smile appeared on his face: "Meng Family Head, there's no need to be angry. As long as you cooperate obediently, I guarantee they will be unharmed."

Meng Changxiu snorted coldly: "Do you think I will believe you? You petty villains will stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Since you dare to come today, don't think about leaving alive." As he spoke, the spiritual energy around Meng Changxiu surged again, faintly showing signs of attacking again.

Hu Changqing's heart tightened. He knew that Meng Changxiu would not give in easily, so he quickly said, "Meng Family Head, you must think clearly. If you act now, and I crush the message jade slip in my hand, your two juniors will lose their lives.

I came this time with sincerity to negotiate with you. As long as you agree to our conditions, I will definitely send them back safely."

Meng Changxiu weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Although he hated Hu Changqing to the bone, for the safety of Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan, he had to temporarily endure.

"Speak, what exactly do you want?" Meng Changxiu asked, suppressing his anger.

Seeing that Meng Changxiu's attitude had softened, Hu Changqing secretly rejoiced. He cleared his throat and said, "It's actually not a difficult matter. As long as Meng Family Head signs a spirit contract with me, I will immediately release Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan."

"Oh? Just to sign a spirit contract, you dare to kidnap my Meng Family disciples. I suppose this spirit contract isn't that easy to sign, is it?" Meng Changxiu sneered. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Changyi had just sent a message suggesting he might have found the hiding place of Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan, he wouldn't be here pretending to deal with this villain.

"Haha, Meng Family Head is indeed shrewd. That's right, this spirit contract is a death warrant for the current Meng Family, but in the future, it will be the Meng Family's iron certificate of life preservation." Hu Changqing spoke to himself.

"Hmph, speak, what is the content of the spirit contract?" Meng Changxiu looked at Hu Changqing with cold eyes, wanting to see what Hu Changqing's purpose was.

"Simple, it's just a simple alliance spirit contract." Hu Changqing pretended to be relaxed and took out a specially refined spirit contract with Dao Heart binding force from his storage bag.

"Absurd!" Meng Changxiu took the spirit contract, glanced at it, and instantly felt his heart pound with fear. An unknown fire brewed in his chest. "You are courting death. Do you think you can tie my Meng Family to your pirate ship just with the lives of two juniors?"

"If you want to court death, why do you have to drag my Meng Family along?" Meng Changxiu's tone was heavy, and he tried his best to suppress the unease and anger in his heart. "My Meng Family only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator, me. There are many Foundation Establishment families stronger than my Meng Family in the Qingya Mountain Range. Why did you choose my Meng Family?"

"Hahaha, Senior Meng, how do you know we haven't looked for other families?" Hu Changqing looked at the change in Meng Changxiu's expression and asked with a smile.

"What if I don't agree?" Meng Changxiu asked coldly.

Hu Changqing's face sank upon seeing this: "Meng Family Head, you must think carefully. The lives of Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan are in your hands. If you don't agree, don't blame me for being ruthless." After saying that, he made a gesture as if to crush the message jade slip in his hand.

However, Meng Changxiu quietly watched Hu Changqing's actions and did not stop him. The spirit sword in his hand was already ready to strike. If Hu Changqing dared to make even the slightest move again, he would risk the lives of Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan to kill this villain here.

"Senior Meng, you must think carefully. Although this spirit contract is being forced upon you by me now, in the near future, you will thank me for what I have done today."

"The Chen Family Old Ancestor's Lifespan is nearing its end. The current Chen Family is just the last brilliance of fireworks. If you insist on being tied closely to the Chen Family, or if you want to be a fence-sitter, I'm afraid the Meng Family will soon face a devastating disaster."

When Meng Changxiu heard this, his heart trembled violently, but his face remained calm. He snorted coldly and said, "Where did the news about the Chen Family Old Ancestor's Lifespan nearing its end come from? As far as I know, the Chen Family Old Ancestor is currently in seclusion attempting to break through the Nascent Soul Bottleneck, and my Meng Family has been on good terms with the Chen Family for many years. How can you provoke us with just a few words? Moreover, how dare you speak presumptuously about the life and death of my Meng Family?"

Hu Changqing saw that Meng Changxiu was still unmoved. He knew that this was a critical moment. If he couldn't persuade Meng Changxiu, not only would this mission fail, but he would also face endless pursuit from the Chen Family.

"Senior Meng, do you think the Chen Family doesn't know their situation? They are currently trying to win over various forces, but it's just to get others to be buried with them."

"Once the Chen Family Old Ancestor falls, how could those forces that have been eyeing the Chen Family normally miss this opportunity? At that time, the Qingya Mountain Range will definitely be engulfed in a bloody storm, and the Meng Family will definitely be used as a bridgehead to resist foreign enemies. How could they possibly remain unscathed?"

"Currently, the Chen Family is in a precarious situation. The news that the Chen Family Old Ancestor's Lifespan is nearing its end is not groundless. Many forces are now frantically testing the Chen Family's bottom line. For example, the Soul-Devouring Beetle incident not long ago was the work of my Guardian."

"Soul-Devouring Beetle?"

Meng Changxiu naturally knew about this matter. Even the Meng Family Spirit Field was invaded by the Soul-Devouring Beetles. He did not expect that the culprit behind the Soul-Devouring Beetle incident was this group led by Hu Changqing.

Meng Changxiu pondered inwardly. Although Hu Changqing's words seemed exaggerated, they were not entirely unreasonable.

The Chen Family has been established in the Qingya Mountain Range for over three hundred years. It is rumored that when the Family was established, the Chen Family Old Ancestor was already at the Golden Core Realm. Now, three hundred years have passed, and logically, the Chen Family Old Ancestor should indeed be nearing the end of his Lifespan.

If the Chen Family Old Ancestor dies, the Chen Family will definitely be in turmoil, and the power balance in the Qingya Mountain Range will also be broken.

"This..." Meng Changxiu was momentarily in a dilemma. At this time, he didn't want to make a choice. Whether or not to sign the spirit contract, it was not a good thing for the Meng Family.

It was just that he was truly unwilling to be threatened by a petty villain like Hu Changqing and sign this inexplicable spirit contract.

"What you said is just your speculation. Why should I believe you?" Meng Changxiu said coldly.

Although Meng Changxiu's heart wavered, his face remained as cold and hard as frost. He stared at Hu Changqing, his gaze like a tangible sharp blade: "You have no proof and just want my Meng Family to sign this spirit contract with a few alarmist words. It's simply wishful thinking."

Hu Changqing shook his head and said firmly, "Senior Meng, you must sign this spirit contract today."

They had made so many preparations, not just to see Meng Changxiu's attitude of refusal.

Meng Changxiu thought to himself, the message from Meng Changyi was still of unknown veracity. The most urgent task was to first stabilize Hu Changqing and go find Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan.

He sighed, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face: "Alright, alright, it seems if my Meng Family doesn't agree today, you won't give up. It's just that for such a big matter, as the head of the Meng Family, I need to consider it carefully. Give me some time, how about it?"

Hu Changqing rejoiced in his heart, thinking that Meng Changxiu had already relented, but he did not know that Meng Changxiu was just using a delaying tactic: "Alright, since Senior Meng is willing to consider it, that is for the best. I don't want to push things too far either, as long as Meng Family Head gives me a reply as soon as possible."

Hu Changqing was not afraid that Meng Changxiu would go back on his word. Anyway, Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan were in his hands. With this handle, even a slight delay would not matter.

Meng Changxiu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping towards the message jade slip in Hu Changqing's hand: "Since that is the case, I hope you can guarantee the safety of Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan. Do not take any drastic actions while I am considering."

Hu Changqing said with a smile, "Senior Meng, don't worry. As long as you sincerely consider the matter of alliance, I will definitely ensure they are unharmed."
