Chapter 187: Retaliation: Exterminating the Black Magic Practitioners
“I had no choice—this is an emergency. I had to come to find you. Do you know what Ye Jiuge told Dongfang Yao after her return?” Su Junqing asked.
He’d racked his brains to win over Zhang Peng, spending money and using magic on him. He would only use this pawn as a last resort.
But right now, Brother Jiang had been killed, and Liu Yunfei was missing. He was starting to feel slightly anxious.
“They are still having a secret meeting in the tearoom. Other than Li Zijun, the others could not enter the place.” When Zhang Peng mentioned Li Zijun, jealousy flashed in his handsome face.
He regarded himself as being on par with Li Zijun, whether in terms of cultivation level, character, or pill production mastery.
Unfortunately for him, Great Master Dongfang favored Li Zijun. He’d not only accepted him as a Final Disciple, but he’d also entrusted him with the Medicine Refinery Hall.
Zhang Peng has spent more than twenty years in the Medicine Refinery Hall. He had invested himself mentally and physically. However, he was forced to remain a mere Nominal Disciple. His status would be lower than Li Zijun’s for eternity. This upset him.
“As long as you find out everything about their next move, Li Zijun won’t stay alive for long. Then, you will be the highest-ranking disciple in Medicine Refinery Hall.” Su Junqing dangled a carrot in front of him.
He made use of Zhang Peng’s hatred of Li Zijun to gain his support.
