I wish you good luck! Hehehe. " Li Shu didn't show any dissatisfaction because Nie Li pushed her away. Instead, she chuckled. Her curved eyebrows were filled with shyness and restraint. Nie Li snorted.
"My luck has always been pretty good," Nie Li said coldly as he walked past Li Shu. Seeing Nie Li's actions, dissatisfaction flashed across Li Shu's face. Her eyes were filled with malice.
Nie Li arrived at Bo Gui's study. Bo Gui didn't lower his head to investigate the case. Instead, he leaned back in his chair with his head resting on the back of the chair. His eyes were closed, and his fingers were gently tapping on the armrest.
"Do you remember what you told me yesterday?" Bo Gui didn't speak for a long time. Nie Li continued to stand there. Suddenly, Bo Gui slammed his hand on the table, his five fingers imprinted on the wood.
"I wonder what my Lord is talking about?" Nie Li looked down and continued to feign ignorance. He knew that he couldn't mess things up.
"Then let me ask you. Someone told me that you intercepted a batch of weapons in the Black Valley. How do you explain that?" Bo Gui raised his head and looked into Nie Li's eyes. However, there wasn't the slightest hint of panic in the latter's eyes.
"I don't know what Your Lordship is talking about. If Your Lordship believes that I did it, then find that person and confront him." Nie Li looked at Bo Gui with confidence, his tone as if he wasn't afraid of anything.
"I can't tell you who it is. However, he did tell me the exact location of the weapons! Even if you don't admit it, as long as my men find the items, you won't be able to escape punishment. " Bo Gui wasn't stupid enough to bring the informant to confront Nie Li. He couldn't guarantee that Nie Li wouldn't silence him.
"I didn't do it. Naturally, I'm innocent." Nie Li's heart skipped a beat. If he was really discovered, he would be in a dangerous situation. Nie Li was worried that the item that had mysteriously disappeared today had been taken away by Bu Gui's men. If it wasn't, then he wouldn't be in any danger.
"Do you know how important that batch of goods is to His Highness? If it was really intercepted by you, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect you. "Bo Gui looked at Nie Li earnestly.
"Reporting, my Lord." At that moment, someone knocked on the door. "The people I sent have returned. Nie Li, do as you see fit!" Bo Gui said to Nie Li, then let the people outside in.
After the scout entered, he first looked at Nie Li, then deliberately kept a distance from him. "What's the situation like?"
"Yes, sir. There's nothing here. " Nie Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Indeed, that batch of goods was taken away by someone else. As for who it was, Nie Li couldn't figure it out.
"Okay, you can leave for the time being!" Bo Gui fell into silence. He never thought that Nie Li was actually innocent.
Seeing that he hadn't been discovered, Nie Li took the initiative to ask, "My Lord, what crime have I committed?" Bu Gui's expression was somewhat awkward as he sighed.
"I've wronged you. This thing was given to you by His Highness. Tengjiao's blood, don't underestimate it. The Tengjiao is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth. Although it's only a drop of its blood, it's enough for you now. Take this as your reward. " Bo Gui took out a wooden box from a drawer. It was wrapped in gold and tossed it to Nie Li. Nie Li caught it and carefully examined it. He realized that the gold was actually part of the wooden box itself.
"Thank you, His Highness." When Nie Li saw the box, he knew that the item inside was definitely not ordinary. He tucked it into his clothes and walked out.
After Nie Li left, Bo Gui said, "Come in!" The scout who had just left appeared in Bo Gui's study once again.
"Where's that batch of goods?" Bo Gui asked. "My Lord, when I arrived, the goods were no longer there. However, there were traces at the scene. Nie Li must have sent someone to move them. "The scout reported the results of the investigation.
"That's good. At least that kid is smart. No wonder he was so fearless earlier. " Bo Gui breathed a sigh of relief. If the scout he'd sent had discovered the goods, he would've probably lied. His anger was just an act.
"Also, get rid of that person from the fourth squad. I don't want anyone who isn't mine. "Bo Gui's tone turned cold and murderous.
"Understood." After the scout finished speaking, he left. Bo Gui looked at the empty study. "Seven Kills, huh? It's getting more and more interesting."
Nie Li walked out of Bo Gui's study, feeling relieved. Although he'd avoided a calamity, he also understood one thing: some of his subordinates were disloyal. Or rather, they weren't loyal to him to begin with.
In the future, he would slowly deal with his subordinates. Nie Li thought to himself. Now, he wanted to return to his room and have a good taste of the things Bo Gui had rewarded him. He believed that they could improve his strength by another step.
Nie Li returned to his room and took out the elixir that Bo Gui had rewarded him. Then, he took out the item that His Highness had rewarded him. Although he didn't know what it was, he could guess that it wasn't simple just by looking at the box.
When Nie Li opened the box, a dense blood aura permeated the air. Deep roars resounded in his ears. Nie Li looked inside the box and saw a blood-red elixir. However, its bright and glistening appearance made it look like a ball of blood.
With such a rich bloody aura and a deep beastly roar, Nie Li guessed that it was the blood of a beast. However, with such medicinal strength, it was definitely an extraordinary monster. Nie Li gently pinched the elixir with his fingers. It was very soft, as if it would shatter if he used any force.
He raised his head and stuffed it into his mouth. The elixir melted in his mouth and a warm current flowed from his throat to his lower abdomen. Nie Li suddenly felt as if a wild beast was running around his body. His head was filled with deep roars.
Nie Li endured the tyrannical power in his body. The veins on his forehead bulged and his face turned ferocious. At this moment, he felt as if his body would explode at any moment. "Roar! Roar! Roar!" The demonic core rapidly trembled as it frantically absorbed the bloody aura in Nie Li's body. After it was relieved, Nie Li let out a series of roars.
The demonic core also slowly fed back the bloody aura that it had absorbed to Nie Li. After the blood was completely absorbed, Nie Li opened his eyes. His eyes flickered with a red glow that disappeared into his black pupils. Nie Li lightly spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He propped himself up and stood up. The clothes on his body had already disappeared because of the tyrannical power.
Nie Li looked inside his body and circulated his internal force. Although there was no substantial increase in his internal force, Nie Li felt that his body and meridians had become extremely tough. Even if he didn't use the Three Kowtows, his body's strength wouldn't be any weaker.
Clenching his fists, Nie Li waved them around a few times. A few explosions sounded in the air. Not only had his body strengthened, even his strength had increased. Strength was Nie Li's shortcoming when he stepped into the Xiantian realm. Unless he used the Demonic Transformation, Nie Li's strength wouldn't be much stronger than those in the same realm.
At this moment, Nie Li took out the elixir that Bu Gui had given him and stuffed it into his mouth. If it was before, he wouldn't have had such courage. However, the blood of the beast had strengthened his meridians enough.
Therefore, Nie Li dared to do such a crazy thing.
The majestic elixir quickly flowed through his meridians. Nie Li guided his internal force to fuse with the elixir. Furthermore, his meridians had widened. Nie Li didn't suffer any backlash from the elixir. Instead, he felt very relaxed.
The absorption of the elixir was very fast. A portion of it was absorbed by the Demonic Core, while the rest was used to increase his strength. Nie Li had also stepped into the late Xiantian realm as he wished. Although his realm had only increased by a small realm, because of the Tengjiao's blood, his overall strength had increased by a large margin. Nie Li felt that even if he were to face Yang Fuzhao now, he wouldn't lose.
Nie Li took out his clothes from his ring and put them on before walking out. The door was filled with food, some of which had already rotted. Nie Li estimated that he had been in seclusion for quite some time.
"My lord, you've finally come out." Nie Li walked to the front yard. When the Demon Disciple saw Nie Li appear, he strode over.
"How long have I been in seclusion?" Nie Li asked. "My lord, three days. Three whole days." The Demon Disciple raised his finger.
"What? Did something happen in these three days?" Nie Li saw the Demon Disciple's anxious look. Something must have happened.
"Yes, one of the members of the team was killed by Lord Bu. The crime seems to be slandering my lord. " The Demon Disciple hesitated for a moment before speaking. Nie Li didn't say anything after hearing it. The person who had been killed must have been the one who had complained to Bu Gui.
"Alright, I got it." Nie Li wouldn't feel pity for a traitor.
"Also, Lord Bu said to look for him when you come out of seclusion." After the Demon Disciple finished speaking, Nie Li's figure disappeared. Seeing Nie Li leave, the Demon Disciple gulped. Nie Li's aura was too strong. It was even more oppressive than before.
"Lord Bu, I'm coming in." Nie Li quickly walked to Bu Gui's study and knocked on the door. A response came from inside. When Nie Li walked in, he realized that Bu Gui wasn't the only one inside. There were also three other commanders.
"You really made us wait for a long time." Bu Gui looked at Nie Li. At first glance, he also noticed the changes in Nie Li's body. Among the four of them, Nie Li's strength had already caught up to the other three.
"Sorry, I lost track of time when I was in seclusion." Nie Li cupped his fists to express his apology.
"Diligent cultivation is a good thing, but pay attention to rest. This time, I have a mission that requires all of you. "Bu Gui looked at the four of them. Furthermore, for four people to be summoned at once, the mission definitely wasn't simple.
"My Lord, just say it! What is it? "Yan Kuo asked. Since Bu Gui said so, the mission definitely wasn't simple.
"Prison break," Bu Gui said. After Nie Li and the others heard this, their hearts trembled. In the past, they had always acted in secret. This time, they were actually fighting against the government.
"The day after tomorrow, an execution will take place in the Song Capital. Our mission this time is to rescue this person," Bu Gui said simply. However, the difficulty of this was obvious. Openly robbing a prisoner in the Song Capital.
"My Lord, may I ask who it is?" Nie Li asked directly. What kind of person would require them to mobilize so many people?
"Imperial Uncle, Du Ze." Bu Gui didn't hide anything.
Aside from Nie Li, everyone present revealed a look of understanding. Only Nie Li didn't know this person.
"Therefore, I need all of you to head to the Song Capital today. Deploy as soon as possible and discuss a plan. This mission only requires success. Failure is not an option. Even if everyone from Shadow Killer dies, including me, we must rescue Du Ze. "Bu Gui's eyes were resolute as he spoke righteously.
This mission was to succeed or die.
