Chapter 142: ‘Bite’ Advanced

In front of the gate of Jiuli Palace.

Just as Yang Shining was about to enter, she was stopped by the guardian outside the door:

"Your Highness the Saint, the leader is discussing important matters with the elders. No one is allowed in unless invited."

At this time, Yang Shining had calmed down. She just glanced at the protector coldly and said nothing.

When she first discovered that Master Bai Zhi was missing, she was still very panicked.

But considering the connection between himself and Master Bai Zhi with the "spiritual liquid", since he is still fine, Master Bai Zhi should be fine for the time being.

She just stood outside Jiuli Hall and waited for a long time.

Finally, about two hours later,

Li Yuan, wearing a curtain hat and gray robe, walked out of Jiuli Hall surrounded by eight elders.

Li Yuan stopped when he reached the door. As if he didn't see Yang Shining, he said to the elders: "I will send you here. Go back and recuperate, and be ready to deal with it."

"Yes, leader." All the elders nodded.

At the same time, he glanced at Yang Shining with suspicion.

What does the saint want from the leader?

"Teach, leader..." Yang Shining looked at Li Yuan deeply and finally spoke.

She swallowed and said in a concentrated voice: "Do you... know where my contracted spider has gone?"

The pace of the eight elders who were about to leave slowed down.

Li Yuan turned around and glanced at Yang Shining, his tone as calm as ever: "I know."

There was no intention of hiding it at all.

Of course, this was not what Yang Shining had expected. In her impression, the leader had always disdained lies to his subordinates and often showed contempt for conspiracies.

He believes that only strength is the measure of everything, and it is also the fundamental cornerstone of the rise of the Jiuli Sect.

Li Yuan looked in the direction of Qiu Shan again, looking far away and said: "You are talking about Bai Zhi, right?"

"Well, I met her once and talked quite a lot. She is very interesting and strong."

"As for where she is now... you just need to know that she is safe now. From the bottom of my heart, I treat her as a guest of Jiuli Dongtian."

Yang Shining's mind froze, and a bad premonition emerged.

She didn't expect that the leader even knew Lord Bai Zhi's name, "But...the traces of the battle in front of my mansion..."

Li Yuan shook his head slightly and said to himself: "She has some misunderstandings about me, so some friction is inevitable. I have been careful enough with her to prevent her from being harmed."

"The leader has sealed her away...I can't sense her position at all. Why on earth do you treat my contracted monster like this?" Yang Shining stopped probing and pointed it out directly.

The air became stagnant and suddenly became quiet.

"Shi Ning, since you know clearly, why do you ask?"

After the heavy words fell, Li Yuan's momentum suddenly changed, and a fierce energy spread.

So much so that the eight elders who were watching and eavesdropping not far away were all shaking and their eyes were stunned.

When had they ever seen the leader treat a saint like this?

No, even the saint is not normal, she dared to say such disrespectful words just now!

Yang Shining was only three steps away from Li Yuan. She faced the huge pressure and the urge to kneel down, bit her lip and said: "Can the leader let her go? There must be some misunderstanding... ..."

The eight elders were even more confused when they heard this.

"alright!"

Li Yuan suddenly interrupted Yang Shining's words and said without any doubt: "The catastrophe of Jiuli Dongtian is coming. I must control all factors that may threaten Jiuli Sect."

"Not to mention her unknown origins and strange aura, just the fact that she bewitches you is enough to prove her danger."

"Just now, I discussed with the elders about setting up defensive barriers to avoid the risk of instability. But now it seems that the unstable factors...even include you!"

"Don't think that I can't see the changes in your body. To some extent, you have shown signs of being 'contaminated'."

"Just be quiet! I'll talk to you in detail about this later."

Li Yuan's tone was no longer thick and restrained, and he directly pronounced the outcome of the matter in an extremely strong manner.

After saying that, without giving Yang Shining a chance to speak, the shadow of a red gold dragon head suddenly appeared behind Li Yuan. As a clear dragon roar sounded, Yang Shining's consciousness suddenly fell into chaos and he fell unconscious.

Looking at the saint who fainted on the ground, Li Yuan ordered:

"Qiangwei, you send the saint to Siguofu. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."

Qiangwei stepped forward and lowered her head to hide the shock on her face:

"Yes, leader..."

Qiangwei helped up the pale Yang Shining. Just as she didn't know what to say, Li Yuan's figure disappeared from the place.

At this time, the other seven elders came up and lowered their voices suspiciously:

"I wonder if it is affected by the impending catastrophe, but I never thought that the leader would be so cruel to the saint..."

"Yeah... In the past, even if the saint did make some mistakes, she wouldn't be like this."

"Stop it now." Qiangwei shouted in a low voice,

"Don't talk about the leader in private anymore. The saint may have really made some mistakes and violated the leader's bottom line. Besides, it's not a bad thing to be punished, especially now that the enemy may invade Jiuli Cave Heaven at any time!"

The others immediately stopped talking.

...

The bottom of the abyss.

Bai Zhi kept absorbing the spiritual essence from the crystals released from the sealing stone pillar.

He was oblivious to the outside world, and knew nothing about the undercurrents in the outside world, nor did he care.

At the moment, only one thing was important -

Becoming stronger, grabbing the polluted spiritual essence, and becoming stronger.

"The seventh evolution..."

"Getting closer!"

In front of Bai Zhi, the illusory characters about "vitality" jumped from time to time, giving Bai Zhi a great sense of security and satisfaction.

730,735,740......

Bai Zhi absorbed the spiritual essence and converted it into vitality faster and faster.

When it stayed at the bottom of the abyss for a whole day, its vitality increased to 750!

It has exceeded Li Yuan's vitality.

Ding!

The system prompt came:

[Skill "Bite" is advanced to "Gluttony"! ]

Bai Zhi's mind moved, and the relevant analysis of the new skill emerged.

[Gluttony]: New awakening skill, advanced from the full-level skill "Bite". In addition to the fangs, the limbs, spider silk and other main bodies and their products can all absorb blood essence, spiritual power and spiritual essence, and the efficiency of grabbing is greatly improved.

After reading the analysis, Bai Zhi was immediately delighted.

Hiss...

Spider silk shot out, and the mysterious energy flowed into the sea along the spider silk like a river, gathering into Bai Zhi's body.

Snap...

The number of gray crystals on the stone pillar increased, and turned into gravel and fell.

Originally, it took several hours to increase 4 to 5 points of vitality at the bottom of the abyss, but now only one hour is enough.

Moreover, Bai Zhi can shoot 5 spider silks at the same time to grab the spiritual essence in the crystal stone, and no longer needs to bite it.

760,

770,

780!
