Chapter 1020: How Did I End Up Taking the Blame?

At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Brahma Society seated around the conference table were frantically breaking wind!
Their stomachs rumbled like thunderous roars!
This fart was super powerful! Trousers shattered was a must!
Even Pepper couldn't hold it anymore, his face pale, sweat pouring down his forehead like rain!
☁︎(͜。‧̣̥̇˃᷄﹏˂᷅‧̣̥̇。͜)☁︎
His entire body leaned forward on the table, unable to hold it back but not daring to let it all out either!
Behind him, white smoke billowed, and faintly, a melodious flute sound could be heard!
Pepper's face was now extremely dark!
"It's! It's that wine just now! There's poison in the wine!"
Under such circumstances, if Pepper still couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't be alive anymore!
Chen Daoyi watched the scene, his heart jolting!
Good heavens! Those bastards from the Brahma Society really didn't have any good intentions!
There really was something wrong with the wine!
To poison me, they actually didn't hesitate to sacrifice themselves to dispel my suspicions?
That fat pig was ruthless enough to himself!
Hmph! Luckily, I was clever and kept an extra eye out!
I simply didn't drink that wine!
And at this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Chen Daoyi!
Because he was the only one in the entire room who hadn't broken wind and even had the mind to make sarcastic remarks!
Pepper gritted his steel-like teeth, glaring at Chen Daoyi with hatred!
"You old bastard! You poisoned the wine we drank? I treated you sincerely, and you set me up?"
"Speak! What method did you use to poison the wine? We didn't notice a thing!"
"You urged us to drink tirelessly earlier, just for this purpose, right?"
Chen Daoyi: ???
His expression froze instantly!
"You're full of shit! Don't pin this on me! The wine was yours, the problem is with you! What poison did I put in?"
"Are you even using a bitter meat trick just to haggle with me?"
Pepper's eyes bulged: "You're still talking? Obviously!"
"Trying to talk your way out? Then why are you the only one not poisoned when all of us are?"
"Isn't it because you're the one who poisoned it?"
Chen Daoyi snapped back: "Nonsense! I didn't drink it, so how could I be poisoned?"
Xingyao Wei clenched her white teeth.
(✡°᷄益°᷅) "You didn't drink? Good! The poison was definitely put by you, otherwise why wouldn't you drink?"
"Speak! What's your real intention?"
Chen Daoyi was so angry he stood up abruptly. Was he never going to be able to explain this?
"It wasn't me! I didn't! Oh, right! My eldest son!"
"My son also drank the wine, broke wind just now, and went to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet!"
"If I really poisoned it, I wouldn't throw my own son under the bus, would I?"
Pepper's eyes instantly locked onto Chen An's empty seat, his heart trembling!
Where did Chen An go?
He went to the bathroom earlier and never came back!
A wave of poisoned wine took down all the Brahma Society high-ups? Chen An pretended to be poisoned and escaped via fart?
Then Chen Daoyi was stalling with him here to buy time for Chen An?
Thinking back to Chen Daoyi's earlier rampage in the underground city, the real purpose was to lure him out of the Brahma Palace!
Using the negotiation as a cover for Chen An to infiltrate the Brahma Palace and get the mother vine?
In an instant, all the clues in Pepper's mind came together!
Luring the tiger away from the mountain? A feint from the east, a strike from the west?
Two veins bulged on his forehead, flames of rage blazing in his eyes!
The aura of a Five-Star Dao Heaven exploded fiercely!
"You old crook tricked me! Just you wait!"
Worried about the mother vine, Pepper didn't care about anything else!
His massive, mountain-like body crashed straight through the conference room wall!
Bursting out of Godun Tower, he charged straight toward the steel tower, smashing through all buildings along the way!
He grabbed the vertical shaft elevator, hurling it over a thousand meters away!
His body plunged straight down the elevator shaft!
This showed just how anxious Pepper was right now!
Chen Daoyi was dumbfounded. Wasn't this just a negotiation? How did he trick him?
Speaking of which, where was his eldest son? Fell into a pit?
Why wasn't he back yet?
Seeing how utterly enraged Pepper was, the uneasy Chen Daoyi quickly followed after him.
At this moment, Liu Mang was frantic, calling out to Jiangnan in his mind!
"Nan Shen! Hurry! Pepper is charging toward the Brahma Palace! There's no time left!"
And in the Brahma Palace's domed hall, the mother vine was on the verge of breaking free from the paralysis restraint, enraged to the extreme!
Jiangnan felt like he was about to explode from the vine marrow pushing against him! His eyes bloodshot!
He kept coughing up blood, his aura extremely violent!
(ꐦᵒ̌ཀᵒ̌ꐦ)
"Got it! Fourth Brother, get ready! Quick!"
Jiangnan could even hear the crash of Pepper landing in the elevator shaft!
In the room, Li Si yanked the spirit-binding bullet embedded in Chen An's chest!
Then he removed the hood covering his face!
"Ready!"
Chen An's spirit power instantly recovered, his eyes red as he leaped up, charging at Li Si!
"Die!"
But at that moment, Jiangnan teleported directly, grabbing Zhang San's shoulder!
"Spatial displacement!"
This time, the displacement was directed at the mark left on Chen An earlier!
Chen An's vision blurred, and the wooden thorn in his hand stabbed fiercely into the mother vine's main trunk in front of him!
He looked around in confusion!
A giant blood vine radiating dazzling red light? Where was this?
Sigh, such rich spirit energy!
Pepper, like a madman, barged into the spirit-binding zone, relying on his terrifying physical strength to brutally smash through the long, narrow corridor!
Along the way, the spirit-binding turrets and various high-tech weapons couldn't even scratch him!
He went straight through, punching the steel door!
"Boom!"
The dozens-of-tons heavy steel door was sent flying violently, crashing heavily to the ground!
In an instant, Pepper's eyes turned red!
The treasury was empty, not a single scrap left!
Most importantly, the mother vine had a hole in its body, with spirit mist leaking everywhere!
Its rank had also dropped from Starlight Peak to Eight-Star Starlight!
No need to think, every last drop of vine marrow was gone!
And now Chen An was standing right next to the mother vine's hole, the wooden thorn still stuck in the vine!
Pepper's mind buzzed, his heart consumed by fury!
"Chen! An! You dare touch my stuff? You father and son teamed up to screw me over?"
"Die! Body collapse!"
Murderous intent burst from Pepper's eyes, a faint gray light shimmering on his fist as he aimed directly at Chen An's head!
Chen An: ???
How did I screw you over?
Hey hey hey! I didn't do anything!
Suddenly, Chen An saw Chen Daoyi following closely behind Pepper!
"Dad, save me!"
Chen Daoyi was also frantic now. Although he didn't understand what was happening,
he couldn't just watch his eldest son die before his eyes!
He dashed forward, overtaking Pepper, and placed himself in front of Chen An!
"Spirit silk garment!"
"Boom!"
Pepper's fist slammed solidly into Chen Daoyi's spirit silk!
The terrifying collapse force instantly shattered Chen Daoyi's spirit silk, bending both his arms out of shape!
His body flew backward like a cannonball!
Chen Daoyi coughed up a mouthful of old blood from the shock, his expression extremely ugly!
"Vitality regeneration!"
His body suddenly glowed green, and the broken arms healed in an instant!
His gaze fell on Chen An!
"What happened? Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why are you here?"
Chen An was panicked: "I didn't, I..."
"Prrrrrttt..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a fart that came with liquid and gas!
Pepper was still in his punching pose, frozen in place,
sweating profusely from his forehead!
レ(‧̣̥̇͜。꒪ж꒪。͜‧̣̥̇)ヘ=З
That punch just now, he had used all his strength, core tightened, but he pushed too hard!
He completely lost control. At this moment, Pepper exuded a heady fragrance, reminiscing about the warmth of his childhood...
Just then, the Brahma Palace guard troops rushed into the domed space in a flurry!
They saw Pepper's cool back view from behind, just catching the "Prrrrrttt" moment!
Each one showed a disgusted expression, quickly averting their eyes, whispering among themselves!
(¬益¬٥) "Eww... did... did our chairman just shit himself? Oh my god!"
(๑˃᷄ก˂᷅) "That punch was way too hard! It was so hard that... sigh, how pissed off must he be?"
"Shh! Shh! Stop talking, our chairman still has face to save!"
Chen Daoyi's mouth twitched: "Brother, maybe you should take care of your personal issue first? Take a shower, change your pants? Then we can..."
Pepper: !!!
At this moment, there were even tears in Pepper's eyes, veins bulging on his forehead!
"You rob my treasury! Cut off my path! Wipe out my vine marrow! And make me shit my pants?"
"And over there, the Chinese Spirit Martial forces are robbing my blood bank? All planned out, right?"
"Chen Daoyi! What a scheme you've got! I swear I'll fight you to the death today!"
In his fury, Pepper no longer cared about the shit-his-pants issue!
His mind was completely shattered, and he charged at Chen Daoyi like a madman!
Chen Daoyi was terrified!
"Don't... don't come near me! Are you trying to get dirty with me?"
"There must be some misunderstanding! I really came to talk cooperation!"
Chen Daoyi didn't dare to engage Pepper, just kept running!
Not because he was afraid of Pepper, but because he was afraid of getting covered in shit!
"Chen An! What the hell is going on?"
Chen An was dazed: "I... I didn't do anything! When I came to, I was already here!"
"Oh, right! Someone kidnapped me!"
Chen Daoyi's eyes widened. Was someone setting him up?
They screwed Pepper over and made him take the blame?
But even now, Chen Daoyi still couldn't figure out how he ended up carrying this pot!
This was truly yellow mud in the crotch of his pants!
But what was in Pepper's crotch definitely wasn't yellow mud!
At this moment, the mother vine also fell into a frenzy!
Its wound healed rapidly, and the escaping spirit energy was reabsorbed into its body!
Even the half-spirit pearl was restored!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the mother vine erupted completely. The main trunk, already five hundred meters long, grew wildly!
Roots dozens of meters thick swung like demonic snakes!
Not just in Brahma City, but all the mother vine roots sprawling beneath the entire Fog Swamp Restricted Zone!
Even triggering a violent earthquake in the restricted zone!
