Time goes back to the moment when thick smoke was billowing and filling the air.

In the stands, Zheng Jikun was looking forward to seeing Fu Ling'er being killed by a fatal blow. He was in a state of extreme excitement.

At this moment, his mood was like a taut bowstring, counting down silently in his heart nervously.

"five four three two one."

However, the moment that made him extremely excited and expected did not come as expected. Zheng Jikun opened his eyes wide in disbelief, turned his head suddenly, and fixed his eyes on the window on the third floor not far away, where Gui Yi ambushed.

His eyes swept across that direction anxiously and angrily, and finally fell back on Fu Ling'er who was still safe and sound. Seeing this scene, Zheng Jikun's anger was instantly ignited, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clattering, and his face was flushed.

Zheng Jikun is brainstorming.

Guiyi actually failed! What happened? Did he accidentally reveal a flaw and was discovered by others?

If this is true, then at this moment there must be a pair of eyes hiding in the dark, closely watching their every move.

Who was it? Could it be Fu Ling'er's people? Yes, those people today, especially the purple-haired boy, were not in the stands. Could they have stopped Gui Yi?

Zheng Jikun felt a chill rising from his spine and spreading all over his body in an instant. He never expected that his carefully planned action had been exposed under the eyes of that bitch, and all their actions seemed to be completely under the control of the other party.

Faced with such a situation, Zheng Jikun knew that he could not act rashly. Although he was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, he still tried his best to suppress the strong urge to immediately go to where Guiyi was to check the situation.

Because he knew that if he was not careful, the situation might get worse and even bring disaster to himself.

He has not yet become arrogant enough to think that he is invincible.

The head of the Zhu family noticed Zheng Jikun's restlessness. He frowned and asked,

"Brother Zheng, what happened to you?"

"It's okay, things are still under control," Zheng Jikun said calmly.

"That's good, Brother Zheng. Don't worry about my Zhu family's work. The people we lend you are all Jingwei carefully trained by my Zhu family. Just let them do it and I guarantee they will do it for you." The head of the Zhu family was still able to show such a polite attitude at this time, entirely out of his remaining little sense of contract.

However, beneath that seemingly calm face, his heart was actually filled with resentment and unhappiness.

The original agreement reached between the two parties was that the other party promised to help the Zhu family win the championship in this competition, and take this opportunity to make the Zhu family's reputation and status reach new heights. At first, everything went smoothly and the situation was very good. The Zhu family was indeed highly regarded among the aristocratic families, and it seemed that they were only one step away from the final victory.

Who would have thought that in this most crucial match, He Hongming would suffer a crushing defeat, like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, instantly extinguishing all the hope they had ignited. The advantages and good momentum accumulated previously came to an abrupt end without any warning.

After returning home yesterday, the head of the Zhu family was furious, and the anger in his heart was like a volcanic eruption that was difficult to suppress. He rushed straight into the study and smashed all the books, pens, inkstones, and various precious ornaments inside. The entire study suddenly became a mess, as if it had been baptized by a terrible storm. The head of the Zhu family stood in the ruins, gasping for breath, his eyes red, and still could not calm the anger in his heart.

At that time, he had already considered withdrawing from the cooperation with Zheng Jikun, but some people in the Elders' Hall said that since they had already received a lot of benefits from him, they should cooperate to the end. It would be rude for the Zhu family to withdraw at this time. The Zhu family would also fall into a credit crisis. Who would dare to cooperate with the Zhu family in the future?

The head of the Zhu family calmed down and thought about it carefully. This made sense. For the sake of the Zhu family's reputation, he endured it.

But he couldn't curry favor with Zheng Jikun. At most, apart from the previously agreed loan of people, he couldn't provide any more help to the other party.

"Then I'll take advantage of Brother Zhu's good words," Zheng Jikun didn't want to chat with Zhu Jiazhu. He was now trying to find a way to inform Gui Er and the others that since Gui Yi's plan had failed, he would start another plan.

It was impossible to take out the communication jade slip. He saw that the man with Fu Ling'er had glanced at him a few times. The cold light in his eyes made his heart tremble.

Sure enough, how could anyone who could get together with Fu Ling'er be a good person? He didn't dare to move rashly, and pretended to be calm and continued to watch the alchemy.

However, at this moment, with the sudden arrival of the pill tribulation, the fear in his heart became more and more intense. He saw that the pill tribulation was like a violent dragon, slashing down fiercely.

What is amazing is that in the face of such a ferocious pill tribulation, Fu Ling'er was able to control it with ease and control the transformation of the divine pill.

What kind of precise control is this?

He stared at the scene with wide eyes, and was extremely shocked. Looking at Fu Ling'er's calm and effortless attitude, he suddenly realized.

Suddenly I understood why the top leaders wanted to kill him at all costs. How could people not be afraid of such a terrifying person?

Especially when he knew that Fu Ling'er had only ascended to the divine realm for a few years, the powerful strength and extraordinary abilities she had demonstrated were enough to scare everyone. Such an astonishing talent and growth rate were beyond imagination, as if she was born to subvert the entire world.

Zheng Jikun is confused about his future at this moment. With his ability, can he get rid of her?

But escape is impossible. Being in his position, there are some things that he cannot avoid even if he wants to.

Zheng Jikun thought a lot of things in his complicated mind. Since he couldn't escape, he had to bite the bullet and fight.

Ha! He has been working hard in the Fourth Heaven for so many years. He has reached his current position, so he is not someone who will give up easily.

Humph! Let's wait and see.

Fu Ling'er's magic pill was ready, and all of a sudden, the audience was in an uproar.

People shouted in shock and surprise, the sound was deafening, and they rushed forward to catch a glimpse of the magic pill.

Fu Ling'er did not disappoint them. She slapped the lid of the furnace with a graceful movement, and a rich fragrance of elixir immediately came out, followed by a string of divine pills shining with light quickly flying out.

"Ah... look, the magic pills are flying, catch them quickly, oh my god, do the magic pills have consciousness?" Someone exclaimed, pointing at the flying magic pills.
