Chapter 677 Drink It
“If you dare to interfere with our tribe’s business, we are going to kill you right away.”
The blue-armor pract.i.tioners were extremely overbearing. One of them unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the tip of the Machete Loli’s nose.
An invisible murderous vibe filled the air.
“Wait, wait, don’t be angry… They are the Heavenly Legends selected by the divine temple, and they have special ident.i.ties.” Sensing that there was something wrong, the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, hurried over to mediate and temporarily stopped the blue-armor pract.i.tioners.
After that, he turned his head, tried every possible way to persuade the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black, and attempted to pull them back. If they didn’t know what the right thing to do was, they might cause big trouble, because the people from the Green Fox Tribe had always been very overbearing.
“No way. If they take Miss Bi Yan away without giving a reason, how should I explain to Li Yidao after he comes out of seclusion?” The Machete Loli was very determined and refused to give in.
The young swordsman in black didn’t want to give in at all. He said, “They’ll have to give us a reason for taking Miss Bi Yan away.”
Dongfang Piaoliang got irritated right away.
“How could the two of them be so stubborn? They are just oblivious to the situation.”
The blue-armor pract.i.tioners over there had already become a little impatient.
Two of them took action directly.
These two pract.i.tioners had entered the General Realm. With a couple of moves, they knocked down the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black who had been injured but had not recovered. Considering the ident.i.ty of the two of them as Heavenly Legends, they did not deal a death blow, but they surely taught the two of them a lesson.
“Now that you want to know the reason, we might as well tell you. Our master wants this girl, but he has no intention to harm her… The Green Fox Chiefs never explain to others about their missions and we will kill anyone standing in the way. So… don’t do it again.” The leader of the blue-armor pract.i.tioners stared at the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black on the ground, feeling a little moved when he found that they still looked obstinate and determined though they were injured.
In the end, he took out two pills for wound hilling, handed them to the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, and then took the little fox girl away from the inn together with other blue-armor pract.i.tioners.
Dongfang Piaoliang carefully examined the two wound healing pills in his palm, and shock flashed across his eyes.
“What kind of medicine have they given us?!”
At this moment, the “Immortal Saint”, the “Saint of Blood Sea”, and other Heavenly Legends came over from their residences after hearing the news. When they saw the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black lying on the ground, severely injured, they couldn’t help gloating.
In the past few days, the Heavenly Legends from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region had disintegrated.
The root cause of the disintegration was naturally Li Yidao.
The more powerful Li Yidao was, the more embarra.s.sed the Saint of Blood Sea and the others would be.
As the only two Heavenly Legends tending to stand on the side of Li Yidao, the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black were pushed out by others. The other Heavenly Legends from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region couldn’t help judging them, making some sarcastic remarks, and laughing when they saw that the two of them were beaten so badly by the Green Fox Chiefs just because the two of them wanted to protect one of Li Yidao’s maidservants.
The Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, shook his head as he looked at these Heavenly Legends pitifully.
They had no idea what pills the leader of the blue-armor pract.i.tioners left to the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black.
They would probably freak out because of jealousy if they knew.
However, Dongfang Piaoliang did not say anything. He just ordered the posthouse guards to help the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black get back on their feet, take them to his quiet room, and give them the pills to heal their internal injuries.
As soon as the two of them took the pills, the pills were immediately dissolved like purple clouds in their bodies.
Numerous beams of glowing runes circulated in the bodies of the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black like penetrating divine light and condensed between their muscles and bones. The waves of energy were surging inside them like stormy waves.
Dongfang Piaoliang had been guarding the two of them very quietly.
He did not leave the quiet room until the pills had completely melted in their bodies and there was no possibility of any other accident.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the quiet room, a posthouse guard reported that someone came with another letter of challenge. The challenger wanted to challenge Li Yidao, the top Heavenly Legend in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, and threatened to cut off Li Yidao’s head and use it as a chamber pot.
“A dragon will be teased by a shrimp in shoal water, and a tiger will be bullied by a dog on a treeless plain!”
Dongfang Piaoliang sighed with emotions as he took the letter of challenge on behalf of Li Yidao.
It was the 67th letter of challenge that came in after the ones received in the past twenty days.
In the past few days, delivering a letter of challenge to Li Yidao seemed to have become a common practice and a form of entertainment for many Heavenly Legends who ranked below him. They knew that Li Yidao was in closed-door training and was unable to fight, but they still enjoyed doing so.
Many of them thought that Li Yidao might be dead anyway and it wouldn’t matter much to challenge him for fun.
Unknowingly, Dongfang Piaoliang came to Li Mu’s courtyard.
He pushed the gate open, walked in, and came to the door of the secret room in which Li Mu was staying for closed-door training. He reached out to push the door, but it was motionless.
“Alas, heroes are always envied by heaven.”
Dongfang Piaoliang let out a sigh.
“When will you come out of seclusion, Young Master Li?”
He smiled wryly.
He had placed a lot of hope in Li Yidao.
Today, he began to suspect that the rumors out there were true. It was probable that Li Yidao had really encountered some problem, so he had to close the door for such a long time. It had been too long.
“Um? Haven’t you found the murderer yet?”
The “Blighting Dark Demon” looked a little angry.
“After such a long time, the aura of the Cursing Black Snake seems to have vanished all of a sudden. Why? It shouldn’t be like that. Even one at the King Level might not be able to suppress the aura of this cursing force.”
The young man in black scale armor wondered, frowning.
There had been no message from the Green Fox Tribe these days, which made the situation even odder.
The Green Fox Tribe was the second-largest tribe in the Heavenly Fox Clan. They had searched in the Imperium Vulpes using the Black Snake Coin for such a long time, but they were unable to find any clues. This made the “Blighting Dark Demon” feel angry and somewhat puzzled. Undoubtedly, the Dark Yellow Army ambushed his younger brother, but there was a question. Was there still a king in the Dark Yellow Army?
What on earth was going on?
“What… what are you doing?”
The little fox girl, Bi Yan, stood in front of a cyan sculpture of the Fox G.o.d, staring at the approaching figures with a scared look on her face.
The leader was a very young man with Adam’s apple, but his eyes and brows were beautiful as if they were drawn in the picture. He had glowing skin and delicate facial features that looked even better than those of many young women. When he smiled, he gave people the impression that he was as gentle as a spring breeze and as smooth as polished jade.
“Young master, here she is.” The leader of the blue-armor pract.i.tioners, who took Bi Yan here by force, respectfully followed the beautiful young man.
The man called the young master looked Bi Yan up and down with a smile. His eyes became brighter and brighter.
“Who are you?” the young fox girl, Bi Yan, stared at the young man and said, “why did you bring me here? Let me go. I have to go back to serve my Young Master.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe shook his head and said, “Your Young Master, are you talking about Li Yidao? Come on. Li Yidao should be dead now because he has been a.s.sa.s.sinated in the secret chamber. You don’t have to wait for him anymore.”
“What?” Bi Yan was stunned, trembling slightly. She said, “You said… Young Master Li, you… are lying to me.”
“Other people are just guessing, but I know something they don’t know. Therefore, I can tell you with certainty that Li Yidao is dead.” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked at Bi Yan and said slowly and solemnly.
Bi Yan staggered, leaned against the sculpture of the Fox G.o.d, and then fell feebly to the ground.
The news struck her like a bolt from the blue.
In an instant, mixed feelings of agony, despair, and rage surged through her like tides.
“Who is it?” she stared blankly at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and asked, “who sent the killer to a.s.sa.s.sinate my Young Master? Tell me. Who is it?” She grabbed the stone sculpture and dug her nails into it. Her knuckles turned white because she exerted too much force.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe felt a little surprised.
The little fox girl was on the verge of a nervous breakdown the moment she heard that Li Yidao was dead, but now she suddenly became strong and determined, as if some mysterious power was injected into her tiny body.
“Do you want to take vengeance for him?”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe asked, looking at Bi Yan.
“Your current strength… Tsk, tsk, tsk, is far too weak. As one in the Mortal Realm, you won’t cause much trouble even if you really want to take vengeance for Li Yidao…” As he spoke, a blue jade bottle slowly appeared in his palm.
He threw the blue jade bottle to Bi Yan.
“Drink it, and perhaps you will be able to take revenge for him.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said.
Bi Yan subconsciously caught the jade bottle, opened it, and took a sniff. An indescribable strange scent came to her face. She looked up at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and asked, “What’s in it?”
“Something that can completely transform you, or a poison that can take your life… In short, the choice is up to you,” the young master of the Green Fox Tribe said, “it might be very painful, but it’ll depend on whether you have the courage or not.”
Bi Yan stared fixedly at him.
After a while, she drank all the liquid in the jade bottle without hesitation.
If the liquid in the jade bottle could really enable her to take revenge for Young Master Li, she had to drink it.
If Li Yidao is really dead, it would be meaningless for her to live on alone. Even her biological father did not accept her, so she might as well die so that she might be able to stay with her Young Master forever.
This was Bi Yan’s simplest thought.
However, the natural qi in her body soon began to surge violently.
A wonderful change gradually took place in the little fox girl’s body.
After some unknown time, Li Mu slowly woke up from coma.
The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately recalled what happened before he pa.s.sed out.
“Um?”
Li Mu got up right away, still feeling a little confused.
He actually pa.s.sed out because of the pain. At that moment, the pain in his right arm was terribly acute. Li Mu felt ashamed that as a strong man, he pa.s.sed out because of the pain in his right arm.
“My arm…”
He looked down at his right arm, which should be covered by green mist. He was taken aback when he took a look at it.
Li Mu was shocked.
A strange change had taken place in his right arm.
