Chapter 115: Poisoned?
While Kong Rui was in a dilemma, Chao Bai walked to Kong Rui’s side and frowned, as if he was conflicted about something.
It was rare for him to have such an expression, so Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai with confusion. “What are you thinking?”
Chao Bai thought about it and finally sighed softly before saying, “The Li family seems to have planted poison in Li Ling’s body. They’re looking for her all over the city!”
“Poison?” Kong Rui was shocked. “Why didn’t I feel it when I was in Li Ling’s body?”
Chao Bai gritted his teeth. “This poison is hidden very deeply. Even I didn’t sense it!”
Kong Rui looked puzzled. “But we’ve already destroyed Li Ling’s original body. What else can they find?”
Chao Bai looked deeply into Kong Rui’s eyes with a helpless expression as he said, “Although this poison was planted in Li Ling’s body, there were signs of it seeping into her primordial spirit.”
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched her face. “Are you saying that the poison is with me now?”
Chao Bai shook his head. “The poison didn’t really transfer to you, but your primordial spirit was tainted with the poison’s aura. The Li family is probably relying on this remnant aura to find you.”
Kong Rui’s expression darkened, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked, “Will the Li family find this place soon?”
Chao Bai thought for a moment before shaking his head again. “It can’t be that easy! They can’t find the poison directly, so there’s no way to determine that the person they’re looking for is you!”
Although Chao Bai had said that the Li family wouldn’t find her so easily, there was still some risk.
It seemed that the Li family’s matter had to be resolved quickly!
Kong Rui thought for a moment and said, “I want to enter the palace. Do you have a way to send me in?”
Kong Rui remembered the teleportation array that Chao Bai had set up. It should be able to send her directly into the palace.
“Why do you want to enter the palace?” Chao Bai frowned even more. It had not been easy for her to escape from that place. Why was this woman still thinking of going back? Did she want to die?
Kong Rui smiled. “I have something to confirm!”
“I’ll go with you!” Chao Bai said without thinking.
Kong Rui was about to refuse when she saw Chao Bai staring straight at her, as if he wouldn’t send her into the palace if she dared to refuse.
Kong Rui was a little helpless. “You can go in with me, but don’t stop me from doing what I want to do, okay?”
Hearing Kong Rui’s gentle tone, Chao Bai nodded in satisfaction. “I can help you!”
“You just have to watch me,” Kong Rui emphasized seriously.
Chao Bai didn’t say anything. He only shrugged and didn’t intend to make any promises.
Kong Rui felt vexed, but she didn’t want to waste any more time. “I’ll do some preparations before we set off!”
Chao Bai didn’t know what Kong Rui was referring to. He felt bored, so he studied a small item that he had secretly stolen from the Li family’s home.
It was a palm-sized stone. It was completely black and there was a faint dark red gas lingering around it.
“This thing is rare. It seems that the Li family must have spent a lot of effort to get it,” Chao Bai said indifferently as he played with the stone with one hand.
Kong Rui walked into the inner room and took out a demon crystal she had brought from the Demon Abyss.
This crystal could find the location of the demonic energy and guide Kong Rui to find the hidden demonic energy.
Back then, when Kong Niang handed the crystal to Kong Rui, she was only worried that Kong Rui would encounter the remaining forces of the demons outside. With the crystal, Kong Rui could find them.
The demons didn’t have to take care of Kong Rui, but Kong Niang wanted Kong Rui to be able to escape safely.
Kong Niang wasn’t sure if there were still demons outside the Demon Abyss. After all, the queen had spent a lot of effort chasing them all into the Demon Abyss.
