Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 30: There may be a thief in the city
Wei Xingying walked without stopping, and within an incense stick of time, he had arrived at a hidden high wall not far from the Ruoye Tribe's palace. Although Ying Lili was several feet away, she could see clearly with the help of the Life Spirit Technique. Wei Xingying suddenly stopped under the high wall, and then she saw him waving in her direction...
What's going on?
She subconsciously looked around and found that there seemed to be no one except herself. Could it be that this damn old man knew that she was following him?
She continued to disappear into the darkness calmly. She couldn't let her guilty conscience show until she was sure that Wei Xingying had really discovered her.
However, Wei Xingying looked very impatient, almost glaring at her. Suddenly, Ying Lili felt a silver light flying towards her. She quickly dodged it and the silver needle hit the wall behind her. Then, Wei Xingying's divine voice came: "You stupid girl, I'm here, why are you pretending! Come out now!"
At this moment, she was finally sure that Wei Xingying had really discovered her, but she didn't know when he had revealed his true identity. Ping Lili thought she had been quite cautious all the way here, so how did the old man discover her? She pouted and jumped in front of Wei Xingying.
After thinking about it, he still didn't understand, so he shamelessly replied with his divine mind: "How do you know I'm following you?"
"Because I never thought of hiding it from you. Do you think I'm stupid? Knowing that you know the Life Spirit Technique, why did you make such a big fuss?" Wei Xingying lowered his head and glanced at Gong Lili with an expression that said, "Girl, you are too naive."
Ping Lili blushed, but she didn't act coy. She changed the subject and got straight to the point: "Then why did you bring me here? You don't want to take me to climb the wall, do you?"
"There is still a thief in Yonghui City!" Under the night sky, Wei Xingying's lowered eyes suddenly emitted a faint purple glow, which was fleeting. The words conveyed by divine thoughts made Gong Lili's heart horrified, and he almost couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Fortunately, Wei Xingying covered his mouth in time.
"What's going on?" she asked anxiously with her divine sense.
"I have read the memory of Yan Yun from the Kongming tribe before, but there is one thing I have never figured out. Who was the person who attacked me from behind and rescued Yan Yun that day?"
Ping Lili had already guessed something. She suddenly raised her head and met Wei Xingying's eyes, which were sometimes bright and sometimes dark. "Could it be that you mean that he is also from the Ruoye tribe?"
"That person is very strange. He seems to know everything about Yonghui City and our Ruoye tribe. Even the place where he hid after rescuing Yanyun is known to few people. Moreover, the strangest thing is that in Yanyun's memory, that person has never appeared face to face. He just rescued Yanyun and abandoned him somewhere before mysteriously disappearing. He did not follow Yanyun back to the Kongming tribe..."
"So, that person is still in Yonghui City!" A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Ping Lili's golden-brown eyes. If this is true, then this person is really an extremely dangerous nail. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. No one knows what terrible things this nail will do!
Throughout history, there have been many bloody lessons about spies and internal traitors in those so-called major battles.
Ying Lili finally understood Wei Xingying's intention at this time. Her mind raced and she understood Wei Xingying's intention: "So you brought me here because you want me to use the Life Skill to investigate something? Or do you already have someone you suspect?"
Wei Xingying's wrinkled old face relaxed slightly, and a hint of approval appeared in his eyes, but it soon dimmed: "There are indeed two candidates, but I'm not sure which one it is, or..." Before he finished speaking, Wei Xingying sighed deeply.
Ping Lili seemed to sense Wei Xingying's hesitation, and she asked tentatively: "What are you afraid of?"
Wei Xingying was stunned. She had not expected that Ying Lili's senses would be so sharp. This girl had indeed made progress.
He closed his eyes slightly. "Before, in the underground secret room, I was attacked from behind when I was about to interrogate Yan Yun. What I can't figure out is that I was unconscious at the time. Tell me, since that person killed everyone around him, why didn't he just kill me with a knife? And only spared my life?"
"You mean he let you go on purpose?"
"At first I thought it was because Uncle Long Yu arrived in time that the man didn't have time to do his job. But, do you remember what Qingluan said to me when she was sitting next to me at dinner today?" Wei Xingying was talking when he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another thing for no reason.
Ping Lili was startled, and after thinking about it, she had some impression, because Qingluan's words at that time were very abrupt, which made everyone stunned for a moment. Before she sat down next to Wei Xingying, she muttered to herself: "Where did the evil spirit come from?"
At that time, Ping Lili was sitting on Qingluan's right hand side. She thought that Qingluan was talking about the demon-binding ring in her hand, so she didn't take it seriously, because Qingluan just said it lightly and there was no further news.
But what does this have to do with Wei Xingying? Ying Lili looked back at Wei Xingying in surprise.
"Qingluan's senses are very sharp. There is indeed a demonic aura, and it is on me. If she hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have thought of this ." When Wei Xingying said this, Ying Lili was stunned on the spot. Demonic aura? Isn't Wei Xingying a living human? When did he become a demon?
"There is no need for me to hide it from you now. Qingluan is the disciple of the Holy Mother of Mount Li in Penglai Fairyland. She is an expert in demonic arts. She said there was a demonic aura, so she was not lying." Wei Xingying said as he slowly rolled up his sleeves. "You probably didn't notice that she was staring at my arm while we were eating."
At this time, Wei Xingying had already stretched out one of his arms, but it was pitch black all around with only a faint moonlight. How could Ping Lili see anything clearly? She was just wondering when she heard Wei Xingying's mind continue, "That thing cannot be seen under normal circumstances, so I have never discovered it. In addition, that thing is well hidden. If we hadn't returned to Yonghui City and strengthened its demonic power, even Qingluan would have been almost deceived. But if you inject spiritual power into your eyes and look carefully, you can find clues."
Ping Lili thought about it and it seemed that there was such a spell in her memory. She tried it in the same way. Sure enough! At this time, Ping Lili clearly saw that the dark blue 'uI' totem on Wei Xingying's arm looked even more weird under the moonlight...
"'uI'! Is this the poison technique of the Kongming tribe?" Yinglili's golden-brown eyes suddenly widened and stared at Wei Xingying's arm.
"That's right. Seeing this, I suddenly realized that this was the real reason why that person let me go. He was playing the long game to catch a bigger fish!"
Yan Lili's scalp tingled, and she suddenly remembered the maid named C. That woman also had a totem on her chest. Yan Zheng once said that it was a kind of poison used by the Kongming tribe to control her body and mind! Could it be that that person also cast a poison on Wei Xingying?
However, what made Ying Lili feel even more strange was that she had seen the mark of the c before. The 'uI' pattern was on the chest and could be seen at a glance, while the one on Wei Xingying's body was on the arm. Moreover, it even required the gathering of spiritual power to be discovered. Could it be that the power of this Gu was even stronger and more hidden than the one on the c?
The Kongming Clan has gone to such great lengths, and their purpose is obvious! Indeed, this is indeed a plan to cut off the source of the fire! Probably no one would have thought that Wei Xingying, Long Yu's most trusted relative, is actually a time bomb that is most deeply buried!
If the other party used witchcraft to control Wei Xingying at the critical moment of the siege, with Wei Xingying's identity, he could do a lot of things. The consequences were unimaginable. Fortunately, although the other party was cautious, they missed a move. No one expected that Long Yu was reluctant to leave Wei Xingying here and wanted to send him out!
By chance, he met Qingluan, who was good at restraining demons, and reminded Wei Xingying, which led to such a change. Wei Xingying discovered the poison in his body early. Fortunately, it is not too late to discover it now .
"Is there any way to cure this poison?" Ping Lili suddenly thought of the most crucial question.
"I have heard a little bit about it. I have asked Qingluan to find the necessary things for me to remove the poison. However, before that, I have something more important to do." Wei Xingying retracted his arm and turned to look in the direction of the Ruoye Tribe's palace: "Before removing the poison, we have to find out who the thief is!"
Listening to Wei Xingying's calm talk about Qingluan, Ying Lili remembered the figure who had mysteriously disappeared with the invisibility technique. That person was indeed Qingluan. It turned out that she was looking for something to cure the poison for Wei Xingying, but why did she deliberately use the invisibility technique? Ying Lili always felt that this matter might not be that simple. However, everything has its priorities. Everything will be clear after Qiongqi returns. What she needs to worry about now is Wei Xingying's intention.
"But you said before that the other party is from the Ruoye tribe. Why does he know the poison technique of the Kongming tribe?" Ying Lili felt that countless puzzles were pouring in at this moment, making her brain unable to react in time, but fortunately she finally sorted out the most crucial things.
"The demon poison was not planted by the traitor. To be precise, it was bred from the demon poison in his body." Wei Xingying's eyes were getting colder...
