"Please forgive me, Mr. Huang. I am really busy right now. Let's go out and look for medicine together next time we have a chance!"

When sending Huang Tianheng to the door, Wei Hong smiled and explained a little more to him.

Huang Tianheng forced a smile, then bowed to Wei Hong and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

"I'm sorry I can't see you off. Take care, fellow Taoist."

Wei Hong also clasped his hands and bowed.

Huang Tianheng turned and left without any hesitation.

Only after Huang Tianheng left did Wei Hong turn around and return to the yard.

He sat down at the stone table, muttering to himself, "We have no relationship, no merit, and he came to look for medicine during this turbulent and sensitive period. How could there be no trick? Who would believe that there is no problem?"

Even if he didn't see the blood light coming out of Huang Tianheng's body through the Lingguang Treasure Mirror, facing Huang Tianheng's strange behavior, anyone who was not stupid could see that something was wrong, not to mention that the blood light directly exposed Huang Tianheng's identity.

In this case, how could Wei Hong agree to go out with him to look for medicine?

It can be seen that Huang Tianheng was somewhat disappointed when he left. He was obviously unwilling to fail to seduce Wei Hong, but Wei Hong's determination made him helpless and he could only leave with reluctance.

Wei Hong thought more and more: "Is the Blood Spirit Sect going to start deploying chess pieces on a large scale? Even alchemists like us have been targeted. It seems that their next move will be big."

"Huang Tianheng wants to lure me out of the Immortal City. He has two purposes. One is to assassinate me, and the other is to control me so that I can work for the Blood Spirit Sect."

"Now that I have rejected his invitation, I don't know who he will target next."

The more Wei Hong thought about it, the more uneasy he became. At the same time, he was also very curious about Huang Tianheng's next move.

So he waited for more than two hours, and then quietly left his courtyard.

Another hour later, he returned to the courtyard again.

At this time, Wei Hong's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. He seemed to be thinking about something difficult to decide, and his expression became increasingly heavy.

"As expected, Huang Tianheng definitely has bad intentions. He even contacted some other alchemists. I don't know how many times he has said that, but there are still people who believe him. It's really unbelievable."

Wei Hong sighed helplessly, but he couldn't change anything.

Because in just that one hour, he visited several familiar alchemists one after another, and the information he got was extremely consistent, that is, after Huang Tianheng left him, he contacted as many as seven or eight alchemists, and they were all the people who usually got together to exchange alchemy experiences.

The most important thing is that Wei Hong learned from them that what Huang Tianheng said to those alchemists was exactly the same as what he said to Wei Hong, without any changes.

Faced with Huang Tianheng's strange behavior and obviously wrong invitation, some smart alchemists naturally refused directly like Wei Hong did.

But there are always people who are blinded by profits. They are not fools, but their eyes are confused by the benefits Huang Tianheng painted, or they fell into Huang Tianheng's trap. So three alchemists were successfully lured by Huang Tianheng and went out with him to look for medicine.

After learning the news, Wei Hong stopped asking questions and went straight back to his own courtyard, with a very bad premonition in his heart.

"Forget it. Since those people are so obsessed with profit, they deserve to be in trouble. Others can't save them even if they want to. I'd better take care of myself!"

Wei Hong shook his head, knowing that it was useless to think about it now.

So he pretended that he knew nothing and did what he was supposed to do every day without showing any abnormality, except that he became a little more reclusive.

Three days later.

Wei Hong had been paying attention to the news about Huang Tianheng and his companions. Today, he finally learned from an alchemist that Huang Tianheng and his companions had returned safely.

"Back? And all of them returned safely?"

Wei Hong was secretly surprised and seemed a little surprised by the result.

But according to his speculation, if these people returned safely, then it would most likely be the second possibility he had thought of before, that is, those people might have been secretly controlled by someone.

Thinking of this, Wei Hong immediately began to quietly observe the whereabouts and movements of those people.

The next day, he met the three alchemists who went out with Huang Tianheng to look for medicine.

After just one look, Wei Hong was shocked.

"Sure enough, as expected, these three people were actually tricked!"

The scene that appeared before his eyes shocked Wei Hong greatly.

It was because there was blood light lingering in the bodies of those three people, but there was clearly no blood light before they went out a few days ago.

In this way, it is self-evident when this layer of blood light appeared.

Obviously, these three people were tricked when they left the Immortal City. They either didn't realize it or had already become pawns of the Blood Spirit Sect.

After figuring this out, Wei Hong did not show anything unusual. Instead, he said hello and turned away as usual, behaving very normally.

After returning to his own courtyard, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Those three people have indeed been tricked. How did the Blood Spirit Sect do it? They were able to trick three Foundation Establishment alchemists without any resistance, and there was nothing unusual afterwards. This must be a simple matter!"

Wei Hong's face became serious as he began to think carefully.

He observed that the three people did not show any abnormalities after being hit, and were no different from before. They continued to make pills as usual and give lectures as usual. There was no sign of anything wrong at all.

Wei Hong recalled some deeds and rumors about the Blood Spirit Sect, and he guessed in his heart that it was very likely that the Blood Spirit Sect was using special means to attract talents. This special means was extremely powerful, but difficult to detect.

Anyone who is hit may seem to have no changes, but it is very likely that they have been attacked by strange and evil magic, and may gradually become distorted in character, cruel in mentality, and then slowly be completely controlled by the Blood Spirit Sect.

Such a process should be the ability of the Blood Spirit Sect to arrange chess pieces.

"Hiss!" Wei Hong gasped in shock, and then thought to himself: "This Blood Spirit Sect is not only omnipresent, but also extremely strange. If you don't pay attention, you may not even know when you are attacked. It is really dangerous."

When he thought of this, he secretly thanked his luck that he did not accept Huang Tianheng's invitation, otherwise, he might have become one of the pawns of the Blood Spirit Sect.

"It seems that I can't trust anyone now. Even with the Spiritual Light Treasure Mirror, I may not be able to see through the disguises of those evil cultivators. I absolutely cannot leave Danwang Pavilion in the short term!"
