Capítulo 1550: Chapter 1550: Su the Beauty Arrives
“You were investigating that person behind the scenes earlier, weren’t you? It’s him.” Gu Zhiqi said, turning her head to glance at Ling Yuxuan, “What, haven’t you followed up on the matter?”
She had already gotten the answer when she asked earlier.
Elder Lu was afflicted with fire poison and needed the Flowing Jade Cold Lotus to suppress the fire poison.
Ling Ruoyan was the one he sent to the Poison Technique Trial Realm.
The reason he knew the Cold Lotus was in Gu Zhiqi’s hands was because soone nad Bao Conglu had inford him in secret.
Bao Conglu had entered the Trial Realm and had seen Gu Zhiqi in Yan City. Elder Lu found an artist, and based on Bao Conglu’s description, had a portrait of Gu Zhiqi drawn.
After obtaining the portrait, Elder Lu tracked it down to Gu Zhiqi and happened to learn that the Cold Lotus had been given to Qiao Qingshu by her, so he went to the Qiao Family.
Ling Yuxuan and Ling Zhiyu listened, their expressions sowhat complicated.
Ling Yuxuan appeared a bit dazed and said, “I suspected many people, but I never suspected him.”
If it were in the past, she might have suspected him, but in recent years, Elder Lu had beco increasingly imrsed in the study of dical skills and alchemy, living secluded and only engaging in alchemy or dical research, rarely interacting with outsiders.
So, when she began investigating the leadership of the Immortal dical Alliance, the first person she excluded was Elder Lu.
Later, after the Great Elder’s video appeared, correlating it with the Great Elder’s anomalies in the days leading up to the Grand Competition, Ling Yuxuan shifted the focus of the investigation to the Great Elder.
Unexpectedly…
To the side, Ling Zhiyu turned her head, looking at Gu Zhiqi, and asked, “Does he… have fire poison?”
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
Ling Zhiyu furrowed her brows lightly, “But… I checked his pulse earlier and didn’t notice any fire poison.”
Not only Elder Lu, but almost everyone in the sect’s leadership had had their pulse checked by her.
Gu Zhiqi said, “He’s skilled in dical arts. Changing his pulse signs isn’t difficult for him.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu fell silent.
“His disciple isn’t dead yet; we should be able to glean sothing from him.” Gu Zhiqi finished saying this and was about to leave.
But as she took a few steps, Ling Zhiyu’s voice ca from behind, “Wait.”
Gu Zhiqi turned back, looking at Ling Zhiyu.
“Items from the Trial Realm can’t be taken out, he…”
Gu Zhiqi replied, “Sorry, it’s inconvenient to discuss that with you.”
She had asked about it earlier as well.
By chance, Elder Lu ca across an ancient book that recorded many ancient evil techniques.
Among them was an evil formation. As long as 36 people were sacrificed in a blood ceremony, combined with special formation hand movents, a space-traversing formation could be set up.
Elder Lu intended to use this formation to bring out the Cold Lotus.
The reason Ling Ruoyan sought so many disciples to accompany her was under the instructions of Elder Lu.
From the start, Elder Lu never intended for those disciples to co out alive.
Gu Zhiqi casually flipped through that book before destroying it.
She didn’t know Ling Yuxuan or Ling Zhiyu well and naturally wouldn’t share such harmful techniques with them.
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s answer, Ling Zhiyu was montarily startled, then lightly nodded, asking no further questions.
**
After obtaining the Cold Lotus, Gu Zhiqi didn’t linger and left directly.
Once out of the Immortal dical Alliance, Gu Zhiqi took out her phone to contact Su Yunling.
She hadn’t forgotten that Su Yunling had ssaged her last night, asking her to contact him once she reached the Immortal dical Alliance.
Lowering her eyes, Gu Zhiqi sent the ssage, and as soon as it was sent, she sensed a figure appear in front of her.
Instinctively, Gu Zhiqi looked up and, upon seeing the person’s appearance clearly, remained silent for a mont.
Su Yunling smiled at Gu Zhiqi and said, “Only now did you think of contacting your brother?”
