Chapter 172 Detoxification
The third continent, east of Liberty City, suburbs.
In a dilapidated wooden house, Zhao Li circled around the table repeatedly, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
His expression alternated between panic and sluggishness, and the right hand holding the phone turned white from exerting force for a long time.
"Answer...why don't you answer the phone..."
He kept repeating this sentence, but the only response he received was the "unable to answer" mechanical voice on the other end of the phone.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a sudden knock on the door from outside. Zhao Li was so frightened that he almost jumped out of the window.
"Sir, it's me!"
When he heard the voice of the visitor clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door nervously.
A middle-aged man in his fifties walked in. His temples were a little white, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face looked tired. This man is his driver.
"Sir, the house is destroyed... Madam may have..."
The man's words made Zhao Li's heart sink to the bottom.
After escaping from the villa that night, he fled all the way in a car, finally got rid of the pursuers behind him, and hid in this broken house on the outskirts of Liberty City.
"It's gone, it's all gone..."
Zhao Li muttered these words in despair and fell down on the chair with a dejected look on his face.
He always acted according to his mother's instructions and did whatever Liu Yun said. Now that his mother is gone, he suddenly doesn't know what to do.
"Sir, I'm stupid and can't say anything comforting, but since the person is dead..."
The man slowly came to Zhao Li's side and stretched out his hand as if to pat him on the shoulder.
But a ferocious sword light suddenly lit up in the sleeve!
Looking at Zhao Li who lowered his head and said nothing, the man's eyes showed a ruthless look. He tightened his grip on the dagger and stabbed him in the neck.
However, just when the dagger was about to touch Zhao Li's body, the man found that he could no longer swing it. The dagger seemed to be fixed in the air, and he couldn't move it even with all his strength.
"...A mere mortal dares to covet an immortal!"
Zhao Li raised his head and saw the man's shocked face.
With a wave of his hand, the man vomited blood, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing not long after.
"Idiot." Zhao Li took a deep breath. His subordinate's defection made him sober up.
This person has been with me for a long time, and he is probably not a workman of Maowei Company. It seems that this guy is just trying to make money.
It’s really a wall that everyone pushes against.
The sadness in his belly turned into boundless fire of anger, burning more and more in his heart.
My mother is dead... This is all thanks to Chu Yao!
Elder Chu, you should never have let me go!
Just wait and see, I will make you pay thousands or hundreds of times the price!
Just when he was secretly making up his mind, another cell phone in his pocket rang, and he picked up the phone:
"Xiao Zhao, I have something urgent here. Can you work overtime today?"
"No problem, Mr. Gao, I'll be there right away." Zhao Li changed his voice and replied as calmly as possible.
Putting down the phone, he picked up a spell. After a flash of inspiration, he transformed into another person. His appearance became much more mature than before.
"Xiao Zhao" opened the door, identified the direction, and walked towards the station not far away.
But what he didn't know was that a figure was already following him from a distance.
——
The third continent, Xindu Airport.
The special plane contracted by Maowei Company suddenly landed at the designated location.
The hatch opened, and Bai Yuejian and Lu Xiaoye walked down the stairs.
The little girl flew for the first time and was so happy all the way. After all, despite her status as a monk, she is still a seventeen-year-old child.
"Master, can I fly around in the sky like this in the future?"
"Of course. If you become a golden elixir, you can fly in the air without a magic weapon."
The two chatted while walking towards the vehicle parked not far away. Seeing the person picking up the plane, Bai Yuejian's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Those were Gong Xiaoran and Xu Bing'er, both of whom were her acquaintances.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is always a joy.
Bai Yuejian couldn't help but sigh that the junior sister was really capable of bringing back so many people.
"Senior Bai, you have worked hard all the way." Gong Xiaoran saluted, "Xiaoran will never forget the kindness of saving him in the past."
"Fellow Taoist Palace, you're welcome. You and I are old acquaintances, and my junior sister is your best friend. There is no need to be so outspoken. Just call me by my real name."
"Then I overstepped my bounds." Gong Xiaoran smiled slightly, "Without further delay, why don't we get in the car first and chat while walking?"
"good."
Compared to Gong Xiaoran's calmness, Xu Bing'er seemed a little embarrassed. After everyone got in the car and said hello briefly, they drove in the direction of Princess Ye.
She dared to make jokes with Chu Yao, but she was a little scared when facing Bai Yuejian. This elder Lingxian has never been seen in the Tianyin Sect's Shenlong. Many people have heard of it but have never seen it.
The sports car was speeding on the flying track surrounding the tall buildings. Lu Xiaoye kept looking at the bustling scenery outside the car window with bright eyes.
"Is this your first time riding a flying car, little sister?"
"Yeah! I've only seen it on TV before - why is there a building that looks like a hammer over there?"
"That, that is the branch of the Kukai Business Alliance..."
Bing'er began to introduce Xiaoye. Seeing the two people talking, Gong Xiaoran and Bai Yuejian looked at each other and smiled.
Bai Yuejian pondered for a moment and spoke softly:
"Sister Xiaoran, I wonder what happened to my junior sister?"
Gong Xiaoran smiled bitterly and recounted the grudges between Chu Yao and Liu Yun.
"Liu Yun is a duplicitous person with evil intentions. She ended up like this because of her own greed." Bai Yue saw the conversation change.
"You just said that Junior Sister was poisoned by her? What are the symptoms?"
"This..." Gong Xiaoran seemed to be thinking about what to say, "As soon as she came back, we asked us to lock her in a dark room. No one was allowed to come near her. We don't know the specific situation."
"Nothing happened?"
"No, she has been here for three days as of today, and there is no sound at all... She doesn't reply to any messages. Everyone is very anxious."
Bai Yuejian nodded seriously. No wonder Gong Xiaoran and the others were looking for him so eagerly.
The sports car quickly arrived at the door of Princess Night.
Bai Yue saw more familiar faces. After greeting them one by one, he came to the door of the darkroom without stopping.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his consciousness instantly penetrated the locked iron door, swept across the room, and saw Chu Yao huddled on the floor.
Bai Yue's heart tightened. She really couldn't imagine what kind of pain her junior sister was suffering.
Don't worry, senior sister is here to save you!
Without using a key, Bai Yuejian came to the center of the darkroom with a slight wall penetration technique.
As soon as she landed and stood firm, Chu Yao turned into a black shadow and rushed toward her.
