Yu Xiao glared at Zhao Li with resentment, "You only know how to play with your little tricks. You're so short-sighted."
After being reprimanded by his Sect Master, Zhao Li sniffed and said, "Disciple was wrong."
His attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good.
"Disciple will send a message to Fellow Daoist Yi Ye and tell him not to come," Zhao Li said.
"You've already sent an invitation, how can you tell him not to come? Wouldn't that make Heaven Expanse Sect disciples untrustworthy? "
Zhao Li said, "Fellow Daoist Yi Ye is very easy to get along with. I'll explain the whole story to him and he should be able to understand. Once this storm passes, he can quietly come again."
"No need, he's already at the station." Yu Xiao waved his hand. He had just received a message from a disciple saying that Blue Blood Sect's Lu Yi Ye had already arrived at the station and had been settled down.
"That doesn't matter, disciple will go find him now," Zhao Li said and turned to leave.
"Come back!" Yu Xiao shouted.
The little old man Bai Qian stretched out his foot at the same time. Zhao Li didn't react in time and almost fell over, but he quickly turned around and obediently stood up.
"Heaven Expanse Sect disciples, you can't go back on your word. No matter what, you can't go back on your word. If Myriad Devil Ridge learns that that little fellow has come to our Sect, they will definitely target us. At worst, we'll just abandon our station. "
"Sect Master …"
Yu Xiao's sharp gaze softened, "I know you're thinking for our Sect. Our Sect's position in the Spirit Stream Battlefield isn't very good, and we've been surrounded by Myriad Devil Ridge from three sides. It hasn't been easy for us to develop these past few years. You have great ambitions, but you must remember to think twice before you act in the future."
"Yes."
"In addition, our Sect has some ties with Blue Blood Sect. In the past, many of our Sect's experts were subordinates of that person. If it weren't for that person, our Sect wouldn't have its current status. A fifth-grade Sect isn't bad."
Zhao Li didn't know who the Sect Master was referring to, but he understood the meaning behind the Sect Master's words. The Sect Master didn't want him to feel too much of a psychological burden. Even if it was because of their relationship with the Blue Blood Sect, Heaven Evolution Sect wouldn't drive Lu Ye away.
"Go to the station and make preparations. Our Sect might face a disaster." Yu Xiao waved his hand.
Zhao Li bowed and retreated.
After he left, Yu Xiao sighed. Although he had made up his mind, he still couldn't help but feel heartache. If things went as he expected, his family's base would be destroyed.
"Is it serious?" Bai Qian asked.
"I heard some rumors." Yu Xiao nodded and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Lu Yiye's talent in Formation Dao, Old Bai?"
Bai Qian pondered for a moment and said, "According to what Zhao Li said, that little fellow's natural talent is extraordinary. Moreover, he has many wonderful ideas. There's only one thing that I don't understand now."
"What is it?"
"That little guy is only at the Eighth Order Spirit Stream Realm. How did he see through the nodes of the Spirit Array? His various methods must be targeted at the nodes for them to be effective. Logically speaking, even if his talent in the Dao of Spirit Arrays is pretty good, it's useless if he can't find the nodes of the Spirit Array. It's really strange."
"Perhaps Elder Bai can test him in person?"
"This old man thinks so too. Let's wait for him to come over. When the time comes, let him come and see this old man."
Sky Expanse Sect's station.
In the small building where Lu Ye lived, Zhao Li arrived late and hurriedly apologized. He also ordered the disciples to prepare a banquet to welcome Lu Ye.
Although Lu Ye really wanted to see the Hundred Array Pagoda, he couldn't refuse when others were so enthusiastic, so he just let Zhao Li be.
Soon, the banquet was ready. Lu Ye and Ju Jia sat down, accompanied by Zhao Li.
As an apology, Zhao Li first punished himself with three cups of wine before making a toast.
Lu Ye drank a cup with him. As for Ju Jia, he was already stuffing himself with food …
"Brother Yi Ye, has the journey been peaceful?" Zhao Li asked as he poured wine.
"It's been smooth, but …"
When Lu Ye spoke up to here, he suddenly stopped speaking and frowned.
Because he didn't know why, but there was something strange in his body. He quickly immersed his mind to investigate. Under Introspection, he saw that the Talent Tree had taken root in his Source Spirit Aperture. Its leaves were burning fiercely, and beside the Talent Tree, there was a grey aura constantly spreading out.
Normally speaking, there was nothing abnormal about this situation.
Every time Lu Ye took a spirit pill, the Talent Tree would have this reaction because the pill poison in the spirit pill would be burned by the Talent Tree, allowing him to obtain extremely pure spirit energy.
But now, this situation was clearly not right. He hadn't taken a spirit pill yet.
Moreover, under his observation, the grey mist rising from the Talent Tree was extremely dense. It wasn't a reaction that should be caused by burning pill poison.
This was the first time Lu Ye had seen something like this.
"Brother Yi Ye?" Zhao Li looked at him in confusion, not knowing why Lu Ye's expression was slowly turning grave.
Lu Ye raised his hand to press down on Ju Jia's chopsticks and looked at Zhao Li. After a brief analysis and hesitation, he said in a low voice, "There's poison in the wine!"
And the poison was very strong. But from Zhao Li's reaction, the poison didn't act quickly because there was nothing abnormal about Zhao Li.
Of course, it was also possible that Zhao Li had poisoned him, but the possibility wasn't high. After all, this was the Sky Expanse Sect's encampment, and Zhao Li was a guardian. If he poisoned himself, the consequences would be dire. This was also why Lu Ye had spoken so bluntly.
At the same time, it was also Lu Ye's way of probing.
Under his observation, Zhao Li's expression was clearly a little stunned, and he said weakly, "Brother Yi Ye, are you joking?"
Lu Ye didn't say anything.
"But I don't feel anything." Zhao Li was a little flustered.
Lu Ye turned to look at Ju Jia, who slowly shook his head. He also didn't feel anything, but Ju Jia hadn't drunk any wine. He had just been eating, so he didn't know if there was poison in the food.
Lu Ye continued to examine the Talent Tree. The dense grey mist had dimmed in a short period of time. It was clear that the poison had been burned away.
He didn't know that the Talent Tree had such a strange effect, but it wasn't strange. The Talent Tree could even burn away pill poison, so it could naturally burn away other poisons.
After a dozen or so breaths, no more grey mist drifted out, making Lu Ye unsure if his speculation was correct.
After thinking for a moment, he poured himself another cup of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Zhao Li stared at him in a daze, "Brother Yi Ye?"
He didn't understand what Lu Ye was doing. Just now, he had said that there was poison in the wine, but now he had downed another cup. This … Was he really joking with him?
"There really is poison." Lu Ye once again saw the dense grey mist drifting out from his Talent Tree.
Zhao Li was completely dumbfounded. For a moment, his mind couldn't wrap itself around the situation. His thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that he wasn't feeling too well …
Then, he saw Lu Ye pick up another dish with his chopsticks and eat it. After a moment, he said, "There's poison in the food too."
"Brother Yi Ye!" Zhao Li was about to cry.
"Spit it out!" Lu Ye turned to Ju Jia, who immediately stood up and walked to the side.
Lu Ye raised his hand and tapped his battlefield imprint, sending a message out. He then looked at Zhao Li, "Brother Zhao, please send an order to seal off the base. No one is allowed to leave. Also, check if anyone has left the base in the past two hours. If there is, please send someone you trust to bring them back!"
Hearing this, Zhao Li also realized the seriousness of the situation. Lu Ye didn't seem to be joking with him. There really was poison in the wine and food.
After a moment of surprise, Zhao Li hurriedly sent out a message.
At the Blue Blood Sect's main sect, Shui Yuan hurriedly rushed into the Sect Master's residence, alarming the Sect Master who was meditating.
"Lu Ye has been poisoned!"
A cold light flashed in the Sect Master's eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Where is he?"
"The Heaven Expanse Sect's base!"
The Sect Master immediately stood up, and after a few breaths, two figures turned into streaks of light and shot into the sky.
At the Heaven Expanse Sect's main sect, Yu Xiao's face turned ashen when he received the news. He slapped the armrest of his chair to pieces and gritted his teeth, "Bastard!"
The Blue Blood Sect's Lu Yi Ye had been poisoned not long after arriving at their base. This was clearly the work of someone in the dark. However, Yu Xiao didn't expect that there would be people from the Myriad Demon Ridge in the Heaven Expanse Sect, and that they would act so quickly.
The two camps had been at odds with each other for so many years, and it was common for them to plant spies in the other camp. No one dared to say that their own Sect's disciples were completely innocent.
Some spies might not expose their identities for the rest of their lives, but once they made a move at a critical moment, they would definitely cause great losses to the enemy.
For example, when the Head Teacher brought Lu Ye back to the Blue Blood Sect's main sect, they were ambushed on the way. That ambush was caused by a spy from the Myriad Devil Ridge. Moreover, that spy was a True Lake Stage cultivator. Although Pang Zhen was able to find clues and eliminate that spy, if it weren't for their good luck, Lu Ye would have died long ago.
Both sides spent a lot of effort and paid a price to nurture spies. Generally, even if they were successfully planted, it was very likely that they would be found out. Those spies that could be hidden were all extremely important. Unless it was a critical moment, they would not be easily used.
But this time, the Myriad Demon Ridge was obviously forced into a corner. In order to deal with an Eighth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, they did not hesitate to use a spy planted in the Heaven Expanse Sect.
Soon, Great Elder Bai Qian returned with a serious expression, "What's the situation now?"
"It has been confirmed that he was poisoned. As for who did it, we are still investigating for the time being, but we have roughly identified a few candidates."
"No matter what, we have to find the person who poisoned him. Only then can we determine what kind of poison it is and prescribe the right medicine," Great Elder said in a deep voice.
"I think so too. That Lu Yi Ye had already made this arrangement, and Zhao Li also acted according to the other party's arrangements."
"They are so calm at such a young age?" Bai Qian was a little surprised, "How are they now?"
"Zhao Li said that the symptoms are not very obvious. It should be a very hidden poison, but the toxicity is very strong."
"The symptoms are not obvious, but the toxicity is very strong?" Bai Qian frowned. This was obviously not right. If the toxicity was strong enough, the symptoms should be very obvious. These two characteristics should not appear at the same time.
