However, Leng Shiqi didn't act rashly because there were more than a dozen Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators around Ji Gu, as well as one who was more than 10 times stronger than him!
Leng Shiqi swallowed his saliva and thought, "That's You Jinyu, a true Spirit Pulse Realm expert!"
Not long after, those people dispersed, and Yoshitsugu also entered a room alone.
Leng Shiqi knew that his chance had come!
Ji Gu had been living in an abyss of suffering during this period of time.
At first, he failed to protect Bao Pengyi and failed the mission. At worst, he would just return to the sect to be punished.
However, he didn't think that Qu Xinran would dare to kill them!
When he fell into the hands of the city guards, he thought he was dead for sure, but in the end, he became a chess piece in Qu Xinran's hands.
When he returned to the sect, he was still severely punished according to Qu Xinran's instructions, but this was nothing.
Later, when he learned of Qu Xinran's death, he realized what despair was and what the pain of waiting for death was!
If Qu Xinran died, who would give him the antidote?
Recently, he would feel intense pain in his body every once in a while. Each time, it would get worse and worse. If it happened a few more times, he was afraid he would die from the pain!
Just two days ago, Heavenly Cloud Pavilion learned about Marquis Boyuan's tomb and immediately sent people to Shang Yang City. Because Ji Gu had stayed in Shang Yang City before, he was familiar with the place, so he was brought along to make up for his mistake.
Ji Gu naturally wanted to come to Shang Yang City. Only here would he have a chance to find the antidote. Although the chances were slim, it was better than waiting for death.
At this moment, he walked into the room arranged for him by the City Lord Mansion. He felt physically and mentally exhausted. The pressure of running for a long time and slowly approaching death almost made him collapse.
Ji Gu whispered, "Sigh, I don't know if I can find the antidote."
Perhaps it was because he had been wandering on the edge of death, but at this moment, Ji Gu suddenly felt a strong killing intent lock onto him!
He immediately turned around and was about to shout, but he didn't expect a dagger to be pressed against his throat!
Yoshitsugu was horrified. "When did this person appear?!"
However, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He could only look at the person behind him from the corner of his eyes. He felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was.
The person who made the move was naturally Leng Shiqi.
Originally, Leng Shiqi wanted to kill Yoshitsugu with his full power, but after hearing Yoshitsugu's words, he changed his mind.
Yoshiya was looking for an antidote. What antidote was he looking for?
Leng Shiqi recalled that Mao Cai had mentioned to him that Qu Xinran deliberately let one person go in order to frame him for killing Bao Pengyi and the Four Spiritual Guards!
With Qu Xin Ran's methods, how could he let Yoshiko go so easily?
Leng Shiqi quickly guessed that Qu Xinran most likely used poison to control Yoshiya!
Qu Xinran's belongings were all with the Leng Shiqi. He rummaged through the mustard seed bag and found a bottle of poison called 'Ant Devouring Poison Pill'.
After swallowing this poison, the whole body would be in severe pain every once in a while, as if countless ants were gnawing on it.
And every time it happened, it would be more painful than the last. If the antidote wasn't taken within a month, the person would eventually die from the endless pain!
Coincidentally, he also had the antidote.
So Leng Shiqi changed his mind about assassinating Yoshiya. He whispered, "Yoshiya, right? We're old acquaintances."
As soon as Leng Shiqi spoke, Yoshiya immediately remembered who this person was!
He was the assassin who killed Bao Pengyi!
Although that person only said one sentence to Qu Xinran, Yoshiya still remembered it clearly.
However, he did not expect that one day, he would also become the target of assassination. Thinking of this, he smiled dejectedly and said, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. In any case, I don't have many days left to live. Just give me a quick death."
Leng Shiqi took out a pill and said with a sigh, "Well, since you want to die, then this antidote will be wasted. What a pity."
When Yoshiya saw the pill, he seemed to have guessed what it was. His eyes suddenly lit up, and endless hope of survival rose in his heart.
He hurriedly asked, "What antidote is this?"
Seeing this, Leng Shiqi smiled and said, "Naturally, it's the antidote to the Ant Devouring Poison Pill in your body."
"Hoo!"
Yoshiya's breathing instantly became heavier. He trembled and said, "Really?!"
"Hey, I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can take one now." Leng Shiqi said as he handed the pill to Yoshiya's mouth.
Yoshiya hesitated for a moment, but immediately opened his mouth and swallowed it. Then he closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of joy. He could clearly feel that the poison in his body was rapidly fading!
The antidote was real!
However, Yoshiya knew very well that the other party would not give him the antidote for free, so he said, "What do you want? Just tell me."
Leng Shiqi took back his dagger and sat down on a chair next to him. He said, "No wonder Qu Xinran chose you. You're really a smart man.
The Ant Devouring Poison Pill is not so easy to detoxify. You must take three antidotes in a row within a month to completely detoxify the poison. The remaining two antidotes are in my hands. "
Yoshiya's eyes flashed when he heard this. He had understood what Leng Shiqi meant. The other party wanted to use the poison to control him, just like Qu Xinran did!
At this point, Yoshiya couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but in order to survive, he had to answer, "Yoshiya understands. I'll do my best to fulfill your orders."
Leng Shiqi knew that it was done. He said in a serious voice, "You only need to do three things. First, don't expose my identity.
Second, tell me the information about your Heavenly Cloud Tower.
Third, do one thing for me after entering Boyuan Houzhi's mausoleum. As for what it is, we'll talk about it later.
As long as you agree to these three conditions, I can give you another antidote now. I'm much more sincere than Qu Xinran. "
Yoshiya began to twitch when he heard this.
He could fulfill the first condition of Leng Shiqi, but the second condition was tantamount to leaking the intelligence of the sect. If he was caught, his cultivation would be abolished and he would be expelled from the sect, or he would be executed directly!
And the third condition, if the other party asked him to attack his fellow sect members, what should he do?
Leng Shiqi seemed to see what Yoshiya was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, the information I want is only the basic information about your Heavenly Cloud Tower. I can get it by asking around. It's just that my legs are not good enough, so I don't want to make a few more trips.
As for the last condition, I will never let you do anything that will make the heavens angry. "
Leng Shiqi's words finally dispelled Yoshiya's worries. He nodded and said,
"I promise you."
