Chapter 689: Coercion and inducement!
"The Golden Core Family, the Cao Family?"

After leaving the side hall, Wei Hong muttered to himself.

In fact, he also expressed helplessness and depression about offending Cao Hang and the other two.

Who could have thought that just because they rejected each other, Cao Hang and the other two would be so petty and instead hold a grudge against them.

This was mainly because he had no idea about Cao Hang and the other two, which led to such a result.

But no matter what, Wei Hong would never agree to let the Cao family participate in this duel.

The Guangning Tang family is another Jindan family. Its power is almost the same as that of the Cao family. Moreover, it is able to compete with the Cao family for the ownership of a mine. One can imagine how powerful it is. Therefore, he is absolutely unwilling to offend a Jindan family because of a fight.

He enjoyed his current comfortable life in which his cultivation could improve steadily, and of course he did not want to get involved in the fights and disputes between the two Jindan families.

"But, it seems that I still offended someone, alas!"

When Wei Hong thought of the ugly and gloomy faces of Cao Hang and the others just now, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He had been trying to refuse politely at the beginning, but who knew that the other party was so tactless, not only pressing him step by step, but even threatening him in the end.

In this case, Wei Hong naturally could not compromise.

Moreover, he did not immediately regard the entire Cao family as a huge threat. After all, in his mind, rejecting the other party was just a small matter. The other party could find another person to fight for them. The only ones who were narrow-minded were Cao Hang and the other two. This matter was not a big deal and the Cao family should not take it seriously.

But Cao Hang's eyes just now still made Wei Hong feel a little alert: "I just refused the duel. He won't be so petty as to want to retaliate against me, right?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little wary.

After leaving Cang Ling Palace, he did not return to Lingzhi Garden immediately, but went to Yuan De Tang to buy a batch of alchemy materials to refine the pills he needed.

Now that he has broken through to the third level of foundation building, among the pill recipes he is familiar with, only the Zhengyang Pill can have an effect on him. Therefore, Wei Hong decided to refine Zhengyang Pills in large quantities and then continue to practice in seclusion.

The cost of refining pills by oneself is naturally much lower than purchasing finished pills directly from Yuandetang, which is one of the reasons why his identity as an alchemist was exposed.

However, Wei Hong didn't know that while he was buying the spiritual materials for alchemy, Cao Zhen, together with another member of the Cao clan, Cao Jiang, not only secretly kept an eye on his whereabouts, but also prepared to ambush him.

Completely unaware of the situation, he purchased a batch of spiritual materials for alchemy, and then went to Baoqixuan to purchase a batch of materials for drawing talismans. Then he slowly walked out of the gate of Cangshan Fairy City and flew away on his sword.

On the other side, Cao Zhen and Cao Jiang had long since hidden outside the city gate. When they saw Wei Hong flying up on his sword, Cao Zhen immediately said, "Fourth brother, this is the man. Shall we follow him now?"

Cao Jiang, who was standing next to Cao Zhen, was a middle-aged man with an arrogant demeanor and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a black robe, his hair was simply tied up, and his eyes were slightly sharp.

Seeing Wei Hong's sword light soaring into the sky, he said calmly: "You follow from behind, and quickly catch up when we are almost at the destination. I will immediately go to the ambush point. My flying speed is faster than his, so I can intercept him. Then we will attack him from the front and back, and then use the power of the formation to kill him on the spot."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Seeing Cao Jiang's arrangement, Cao Zhen not only had no objection, but agreed with excitement. Then he immediately flew up on his sword and quietly followed Wei Hong.

As for Cao Jiang, he also flew up, but he did not follow Cao Zhen. Instead, he made a slight detour and then headed for his destination at full speed.

"Hmph, boy, you dare to provoke our Cao family. You really don't know how to live or die!" Cao Jiang sneered in his heart while flying.

He was at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, so when flying at full speed his speed would naturally be faster than Wei Hong's. That was why he was confident that he could stop Wei Hong. He believed that a cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment would not be able to achieve anything in his hands.

Moreover, they had already set up a second-level inferior [Five Elements Maze Formation] on the road that Wei Hong had to pass through to reach the Spiritual Plant Garden. As long as Wei Hong fell into the formation, there was no way he would be spared, and the two of them could kill him calmly.

With this thought in mind, Cao Jiang quickly rushed towards the ambush point.

Wei Hong was flying in the air with a sword at this time, but his face looked a little ugly.

It was because he noticed something unusual not long after leaving Cangshan Fairy City.

It was only because an indescribable sense of inexplicable crisis suddenly arose in his heart and kept lingering in his mind, as if something might happen, which made him alert all of a sudden.

"Could it be that Cao Hang and the other two really want to attack me?"

Wei Hong frowned and thought to himself, "Except for Cao Hang and the other two, I don't think I have offended anyone else. Could it be that the two of them want to ambush me halfway?"

Cao Hang never expected that Wei Hong would actually guess the truth directly.

At this time, he was not sure who wanted to deal with him, but the sudden warning inspiration was definitely not wrong, and he always trusted his intuition, so he immediately became alert.

"If they want to ambush me halfway, they must have set up a formation or a trap, and there will definitely not be less than two people. From this point of view, it must be the Cao family!"

After thinking quickly in his mind, Wei Hong quickly made up his mind.

He believed that the people who wanted to attack him this time were most likely Cao Hang and his companion, and that the other party must have set an ambush.

According to his principle of doing things in a less-troubled way, although the ambush had not yet happened and was not necessarily true, with his cautious nature, he could have simply taken a detour or changed his appearance, thus avoiding the crisis.

However, Wei Hong thought again: "The Cao family has learned my true identity and knows that I am stationed at the No. 7 Spiritual Plant Garden. If they are determined to cause trouble for me, then I will definitely not be able to hide. Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to scare them directly or get rid of Cao Hang and the other two directly!"

Thinking of this, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He believed that as long as the matter was handled cleanly and efficiently, there would be no evidence left.

Wei Hong naturally did not take Cao Hang and the other two seriously. What he was worried about was the Cao family behind them.

But if he were always being remembered by the Cao family, this was not what he wanted to see.

It is said that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. There is no point in always being on guard against thieves!

If this matter is not resolved, the Cao family might bring him even greater trouble.

With this in mind, Wei Hong made up his mind and did not intend to change direction at all. Instead, he flew straight towards the Spiritual Plant Garden, secretly making a fuss in his heart:

"I want to see what Cao Hang and the other two are planning. If they really want to take revenge on me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
