OBS Chapter 492 Poison?
Chapter 492 Poison?
On the top of the main peak of the Xingyun Sect, outside the gilded hall shrouded in clouds and mist, the Star Envoy stood with his head bowed.
That day above Huwei City, the composure he had when he single-handedly suppressed the city was completely gone at this moment, replaced by a face full of panic.
The cold sweat on his forehead slid down his angular jaw, but the Star Envoy dared not move, his eyes fixed on the white jade tiles under his feet, as if there was something on the tiles that was enough to attract his attention.
“Squeak—”
The heavy white jade door slowly opened, like a giant beast's half-open eye, revealing a gap large enough for one person to enter and exit.
The Star Envoy's whole body was tense, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty. He raised his head and looked through the crack in the door.
The hall was as dark as ink, with only faint starlight flowing in the darkness.
"come in."
An ethereal voice came from the depths of the void, carrying with it a mountain-like pressure that hurt the Star Envoy's eardrums.
He immediately bowed respectfully, then carefully stepped into the gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
The moment he stepped into the hall, the Star Envoy seemed to fall into a sea of stars.
In the thick darkness all around him, countless stars flickered like breathing, and the tiny rays of light flowed across his skin, but could not illuminate the way forward even a single step.
As the Star Envoy entered, the originally free starlight suddenly trembled violently, like the Milky Way stirred by an invisible giant hand, and quickly gathered into a human-shaped light and shadow.
The light and shadow gradually solidified, revealing a man emitting a soft fluorescent light all over his body.
The man was completely naked, but his skin had a luster like glass. Although he was completely naked, he exuded an indescribable majesty and celestial charm.
The Star Envoy didn't dare to look up, he lowered his head and was about to speak, but he saw the other party raise his hand and waved it lightly, and the words on the tip of his tongue were instantly swallowed back.
"I am aware of the interference of the remnants of the Star Gate."
The sect leader's voice seemed to come from the heavens beyond, carrying an unquestionable majesty: "Your failure in seizing the Heart of the Stars this time is understandable. However, the Nebula Sect has clear rewards and punishments. Those who fail to perform their duties..."
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding stars suddenly dimmed, and a chill ran up the Star Envoy's spine to the top of his head.
"Master! Please give me another chance!"
The Star Envoy fell to his knees, his forehead banging heavily on the cold ground. He kowtowed and shouted, "I will definitely take the head of the remnant of the Star Gate and take back the Heart of the Star!"
The corner of the Nebula Sect's leader's lips curled up into a satisfied smile, and he raised his hand in a gesture of support.
An invisible force lifted up the Star Envoy steadily like a giant hand. The Star Envoy did not show it on the surface, but he was terrified in his heart, because he felt that under this power, he could not resist it at all.
"Since you have this intention, I will lend you a helping hand."
As the leader of the Xingyun Sect finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved upwards.
As he waved his hand, the void above him was like a torn curtain, slowly unfolding a huge map.
The Star Envoy looked up and saw two tiny lights flickering like fireflies on the map. One was stationary not far from Tiger Guard City, while the other was moving slowly on the map, leaving a light golden trail.
"Ok?"
The Xingyun Sect leader's tone rarely rippled. He raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, a flicker of confusion in his eyes. He murmured softly, "Why are there two?"
He stretched out his hand again and swept it towards the huge map above. Ripples suddenly appeared on the map, but the two small dots on it still existed.
The Xingyun Sect leader's originally puzzled eyes revealed a hint of interest, and he said, "Interesting..."
He looked at the Star Envoy and said, "The one near Tiger Guard City should be the remnant of the Star Gate. Go and bring him back... As for the other one, let the disciples in the sect go. It's a good opportunity for them to gain some experience..."
"Yes!"
The Star Envoy responded heavily!
On that day, the Xingyun Sect issued the Sect Master's Immortal Order.
Anyone who regains the Heart of the Stars can be baptized by the Stars once!
This immortal order was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the Nebula Sect!
…
Jinwei City, one of the cities belonging to the Xingyun Sect.
The territory of the Xingyun Sect is really too large. Although Li Zhi has been running non-stop for days, he has not been able to escape from the Xingyun Sect's sphere of influence.
Physical and mental exhaustion finally made Li Zhi stop.
Li Zhi knew that if he continued to rush on his way like this, not only would it be easy for others to notice that something was wrong, but if anything happened, he would not be able to use his full strength to deal with it.
Therefore, Li Zhi decided to rest in the Acropolis for one night, and then continue his journey after he had rested enough.
Li Zhi dragged his already numb legs into the city under the jurisdiction of the Xingyun Sect. He didn't dare to wander around the city, nor did he have the energy to do so. He forced himself to stay awake and found an inconspicuous inn on the corner.
Li Zhi asked the front desk manager for a room upstairs, then told him to bring him a meal in the evening and hurried upstairs.
After entering the room, Li Zhi scanned the room and made sure that there was nothing unusual in the room. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
After locking the door, Li Zhi lay down on the bed.
Lying down like this, the fatigue of the past few days instantly overwhelmed him.
It was unknown how long it took for Li Zhi to come to his senses. He half-opened his eyes and glanced around the dim room, only to realize that in the blink of an eye, he had already squinted and it was already night.
Li Zhi stood up and stretched his sore limbs. He walked to the door and squinted his eyes to look outside through the gap in the door.
It was pitch black outside, quiet and deserted.
He slowly opened the door and found a meal placed at the door.
Li Zhi remembered that he had asked someone to send him a meal in the evening. The waiter must have left the meal outside because he saw that he was still asleep.
Li Zhi brought the food placed at the door into the room. Just as he sat down and was about to start eating, his movements suddenly froze, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face was instantly filled with vigilance.
For someone who is well versed in the principles of alchemy, the ability to identify poisons is the most basic.
Li Zhi noticed at a glance that the food was poisonous!
However, Li Zhi was a little surprised because he found that the poison in the food was weak and the dosage was small. It was not toxic enough to be fatal, and it was difficult to even make an adult faint.
Li Zhi frowned. Although the food was slightly toxic, he did not let his guard down.
It's a pity that Li Zhi's mosquito demon army was completely wiped out in the Black Water River. Otherwise, with the mosquito demons watching around, Li Zhi would not be so passive.
However, the mosquito demon was gone, so Li Zhi had to rely on himself.
As the thought came to his mind, his left hand moved.
In an instant, five eerie auras suddenly appeared, and Li Zhi's five little ghosts appeared out of thin air in the room.
"Go, search the surrounding area carefully and keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously." Li Zhi lowered his voice and gave the order seriously.
The five little ghosts cheered excitedly, their bodies surging with Yin Qi. Just as they were about to rush out, they were scolded by Li Zhi: "Be quiet! Concentrate your breath and don't reveal your whereabouts!"
The little ghosts immediately wilted, stuck out their tongues, and then quietly sneaked out of the room.
