Wei Mingzhou's expression changed slightly. Wan Shufang observed his expression carefully, making sure that he had listened to her words and had some ideas in his mind, so she continued.

"This poisonous water is extremely toxic. When I saw Chen Changli soaking in it, I felt that it was a heart-wrenching torture."

"Unfortunately, Yanran and the others don't think so. I want to stop them, but I don't know how to do it."

"Your appearance actually gave me hope, but our situation is not very good, which led to you and me..."

"Don't say too much." After hearing Wan Shufang's suggestive words, Wei Mingzhou knew what she wanted to say and immediately interrupted her with a calm expression.

Wan Shufang obeyed and remained silent. Wei Mingzhou took out a gold-wire glove from his arms, put it on, and then took out a porcelain bottle to fill it with poison water.

"How is Chen Changli doing? Can he hold on until tomorrow?" When Old Man Xia saw Wan Shufang going to the edge of the dungeon, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

When he noticed Wei Mingzhou's actions out of the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat. Then he walked up to Wei Mingzhou and asked anxiously.

Without waiting for Wei Mingzhou to answer, he threw the poisonous insect that Yanran handed to him into the water.

As soon as the poisonous insect entered the water, the entire dungeon began to make a sizzling sound, as if something was corroded by sulfuric acid.

Wan Shufang's eyelids twitched slightly in shock, and she felt nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm on the surface and asked calmly, "What did you throw? Is it harmful to Chen Changli?"

"What I threw away is a good thing, he is blessed." Old man Xia smiled sinisterly.

I'm afraid only a madman would want this kind of blessing! As soon as Wan Shufang heard what Old Man Xia said, this thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes almost spit fire.

"Senior Xia, you can't digest too much if you bite off more than you can chew." Wei Mingzhou poured the poisonous water into a porcelain bottle and deliberately put a poisonous insect in it.

Seeing that the poisonous insect flipped around in the porcelain bottle for a while and then stayed at the bottom of the bottle, it seemed that there was nothing serious. He then realized that Wan Shufang must have done something to the poisonous water while Old Man Xia was not paying attention, which reduced the toxicity of the poisonous water.

He couldn't help but sigh that Wan Shufang's medical skills were worthy of the praise from Doctor Huang. He wanted to discuss with her to find a way to suppress the Phoenix Gu in Chen Changli's body and prevent Old Man Xia and others from getting what they wanted.

However, as soon as Old Man Xia said those threatening words, Wei Mingzhou knew that he had some doubts in his heart, and he immediately stood up and turned to look at him.

Facing his extremely cold eyes, Wei Mingzhou was not flustered at all. He smiled lightly and said, "Phoenix Gu can be said to be the king of Gu. All kinds of poisons entering the mother body only provide nutrients for it."

"But the mother is still a person after all. She is too fragile. Once some poison enters her body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to bear."

"Phoenix Gu is very dependent on the mother body. If the mother body has problems, even if the Phoenix Gu can be formed, it will only be a semi-finished product."

"If you want to live forever, you should expect the Phoenix Gu to be complete. How can you let it become a half-finished product?"

Every word Wei Mingzhou said was for Old Man Xia and the others, as if he didn't care about Chen Changli, the mother, at all.

Old Man Xia looked at him deeply, and suddenly laughed, "Chen Changli is the great general who defeated the Quanrong. He is a hero to the people of Dajing. Wei Mingzhou, you are also from Dajing. Chen Changli is right in front of you, and you don't care about him at all."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that in your heart, no matter how great Chen Changli's contribution is, he is just an outsider. How can he be as important as your family?"

His words were full of irony. Wei Mingzhou became famous at a young age and was very proud of himself.

The reason why they were willing to compromise this time was that Liu Yaoyao and others had exhausted all means, and they were also courteous and humble, and did not embarrass Wei Mingzhou. They never expected that Old Man Xia would say such sarcastic words.

Could it be that he felt that since the Phoenix Gu was about to be born, he would be dispensable?

When Wei Mingzhou thought of this, a raging rage burned in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said calmly: "Family is naturally the most important. If you don't even care about your family, then you are worse than an animal."

He directly retorted sarcastically, and without waiting for Old Man Xia to react, he mentioned Chen Changli, "The poisonous water in the water dungeon has taken effect, but the Phoenix Gu in Chen Changli's body is more powerful, and the effect of this poisonous water is minimal, so we have to change the water next."

"How is that possible?" Old Man Xia didn't believe a word Wei Mingzhou said.

This poisonous water was the result of decades of hard work, and it was mixed with a lot of blood from the Gu tribe. How could it lose its effect in less than two hours?

He suspected that Wei Mingzhou had done something secretly, which caused the abnormality in the poisonous water.

When this thought came to his mind, Old Man Xia immediately went to the dungeon to check Chen Changli's pulse.

Wei Mingzhou saw his movements and quickly stopped him. He said with a cold face: "I know that you poison masters may be immune to all poisons, but Chen Changli is the mother of the Phoenix Gu. His current state is the moment when the Phoenix Gu is taking shape at a very fast speed."

"If you run towards Chen Changli at this time, won't you just scare the Phoenix Gu?"

"Once it is frightened, the time it takes to take shape will be slowed down. If you don't see the Phoenix Gu tomorrow, you will be wrongly accusing us of not trying our best."

As soon as Wei Mingzhou said this, he looked at Old Man Xia with suspicion, as if he was sure that he would do this, with contempt revealed in the depths of his eyes.

Facing Wei Mingzhou's contemptuous look, Old Man Xia was about to explode with anger: "Don't slander me."

"Senior, let's just listen to him." Yanran deliberately glanced at Wan Shufang. Seeing that she was helping Wei Mingzhou stop old man Xia, she vaguely guessed something and decided to help Wei Mingzhou after weighing the pros and cons.

Glancing at Yanran, Wei Mingzhou said cheerfully, "It will be dawn in two hours. In these two hours, we must speed up the birth of the Phoenix Gu."

When he heard that there were only two hours left, Old Man Xia's face was as uncertain as the weather in June. Finally, he threatened Wei Mingzhou: "If the Phoenix Gu doesn't appear, I will kill your whole family."

Hearing the threat, Wei Mingzhou's face changed instantly, his voice became as sharp as a knife, and he wished he could scrape off every inch of flesh and blood from Old Man Xia's body to vent his hatred.

"If anything happens to my family, I will send you evil spirits to hell to atone for their sins."

Neither of them was willing to give in to the other, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while.

As an outsider, Wan Shufang felt an invisible pressure pressing on her when she saw the two people confronting each other, making it hard for her to breathe.

"You two, please don't argue."

Yanran couldn't stand it anymore and stepped out to persuade the two of them.

"There are too many things we can do in two hours. We have to hurry up, otherwise Chen Changli will be poisoned and die quietly. Our Phoenix Gu may be affected and die in the womb!"

"There is no way this could happen." Old Man Xia retorted without even thinking, "The Phoenix Gu must appear, otherwise you will all have to pay for it."

Yanran had never seen him look so twisted and hideous before, and was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest. "Senior, whether the Phoenix Gu will appear depends on whether Chen Changli is strong enough."
