Chapter 35: Poisoned
The people watching the excitement were all frightened by Gao Huohuo's fierce performance, and they were talking about it one after another.
"Isn't she a young girl in the Qi Refining Stage? How could she stab herself with a knife without any hesitation?"
"Yeah, he's even more ruthless than the evil cultivators! I wonder which sect he belongs to?"
"It's better to avoid her next time you see her. You can't afford to offend someone like her. Didn't you see that even Nascent Soul cultivators were humiliated in front of her?"
Gao Huohuo felt very comfortable stabbing with a knife, but it was Liu Mei who was suffering. Now she was lying on the ground like an octopus.
He faintly called out, "Mother, mother...save me, I don't want to die yet."
Liu Mei was already regretting it at this time. If she had known earlier, she would not have come. Now that she had failed to avenge herself, she not only lost face, but was also almost bleeding out.
Seeing that Liu Zhi didn't react, Gao Huohuo picked up the dagger and prepared to stab him directly in the chest.
Liu Mei was so scared that she closed her eyes. If this happened again, she would die.
As soon as Gao Huohuo picked up the dagger, Liu Zhi was so scared that he begged for mercy.
"Don't move, please don't stab me again. I'll do whatever you want, but I just ask you not to hurt yourself anymore."
Gao Huohuo smiled complacently, "It's very simple. At this time tomorrow, prepare spiritual stones equivalent to your daughter's life, and I will cure her poison."
Poison? No wonder it's so powerful? It seems that I have to go back and find the miracle doctor in Liucheng to see him, otherwise his Amei will be tortured to death.
After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, he turned around and left, but he did not return to the Shadow Moon Sect. Instead, he wandered around the market town.
After finally getting rid of the tail behind him, he headed towards the Shadow Moon Sect.
Liu Zhi took the dying Liu Mei back and hurriedly sent someone to invite Liu Cheng.
When Liu Cheng arrived and found Liu Mei badly injured, he was shocked. Isn't Liu Zhi a Nascent Soul cultivator? Who could beat her like this?
Could it be that the person who beat her was a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage?
When her mother saw her precious daughter injured like this, she was heartbroken.
"Amei, who hurt you like this? Tell me, I will avenge you."
Liu Mei said with a dying breath, "A cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage."
What? A Qi Refining cultivator? One of you is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other is at the Nascent Soul stage. You were beaten by a Qi Refining cultivator?
"Liu Zhi, what on earth is going on? How could you not care about your daughter being injured like this?"
Liu Mei thought that it was because he cared too much that she became so miserable. If her stepfather continued to care about her, she would probably not be able to come back today.
So she quickly started to defend her adopted father, "Mom, it has nothing to do with Dad. It's just that little witch's tricks are too powerful."
After that, Liu Zhi recounted what happened today one by one.
When Liu Cheng heard that there was a poison in Liu Mei's body, his expression became serious for once.
He secretly glanced at Liu Mei's mother, as if he couldn't bear to tell the truth.
"This poison is not like ordinary poison. Only the person who poisoned it can cure it. Moreover, if the person who poisoned it dies, the person who was poisoned will die with him."
Liu Zhi asked dissatisfiedly, "Is there no other way?
As a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, can I only watch my own daughter suffer?"
Hearing their biological daughter's words, the other three people in the room lowered their heads in tacit understanding.
But Liu Zhi didn't notice it and was still angry about not being able to remove the poison.
It seems that he can only prepare spirit stones tomorrow, otherwise that little witch will probably torture his daughter again.
Liu Mei's mother took the opportunity to ask, "Husband, how many spirit stones do you plan to give to that little witch tomorrow?"
Liu Zhi thought about it and thought that giving three thousand low-grade spirit stones to a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage was enough to show his sincerity.
"Three thousand low-grade spirit stones."
When Liu Mei's mother and Liu Mei heard this, they knew that Liu Zhi was reluctant to spend the spirit stones. He could obviously give ten thousand, but he only wanted to give three thousand.
She suddenly felt that Liu Zhi was a heartless and ungrateful person. Her mother had been devoted to him for so long, but in his heart, she was only worth these few spirit stones?
On the other side, Gao Huohuo returned to her yard at night and found that because of Liu Zhi's attack today, there was one less hero on her honor roll.
There were quite a lot of people last time, and many people died in the siege of the Evil Demon Sect.
As a result, the only people left on her honor roll are Li Erniu and Wu Liang who are in the Jindan stage, Liu Mei who is in the foundation-building stage, and her father Liu Zhi who is in the Yuanying stage.
There was originally a Jindan stage cultivator, but he was just sent away by Liu Zhi with a palm strike.
At the same time, the remaining people in the Evil Shadow Sect were all thinking about what their next step would be.
Just now, their sect leader had been seriously injured and died, and some fellow disciples who were seriously injured also passed away just now.
"A good sect is gone just like that, what should we do next?"
A disciple asked this question, but unfortunately no one answered because they didn't know what to do next.
Only a few with quick thinking had already started looking into the sect leader's room.
So after a night passed, not a single person from the Evil Shadow Sect had disappeared, and only the corpses that had been searched through the house proved that there had been people here.
The next day, Gao Huohuo went to Xie Feng's shop again in a swaggering manner, and even looked more arrogant than yesterday.
Fortunately, she had already made it clear to Xie Feng in the jade slip yesterday.
"Just pretend you didn't see what happened to Boss Xie these past few days. Don't worry about me. I can handle it myself."
When Xie Feng received her message, he was about to ask the Seventh Young Master for help.
After all, the Blood Demon Sect still has a great influence in this area, and as the Blood Demon Sect's chief elder, he has many subordinates.
However, after receiving her message, Xie Feng did not look for the Seventh Young Master again, but prepared to wait and see how she would respond.
When Gao Huohuo arrived, he sat down on the stool with a casual look.
In fact, he was extremely nervous inside, and he opened the names of all the people on the list, and kept his mind aware of the movements around him.
What if Liu Zhi was doing something sinister in secret and she had no time to prevent it?
Moreover, she ran out secretly today, and none of her senior brothers and sisters knew about it.
If Third Senior Sister knew that she was so bold and presumptuous as to challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator alone, she would definitely scold her to death.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Liu Zhi and Liu Mei finally appeared, accompanied by a beautiful woman, who must be Liu Mei's mother.
"Hey, my dear daughter is here. Did you bring the spirit stone?"
Liu Zhi waved his hand, and his subordinates came in carrying a box. When they opened it, they found it was full of low-grade spirit stones.
Gao Huohuo waved to the shop assistant and said, "Please help me count the items. This is your reward."
After saying that, he casually threw a storage bag filled with spirit stones to the shop assistant.
The guy walked over and counted them, and found that there were exactly three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
"My dear daughter, you are worthless in your father's eyes!
I'm afraid it's not your stepfather, he wants to buy your life with thirty medium-grade spirit stones, it seems your life is not worth much! "
When Gao Huohuo said this, Liu Mei, who was already suspicious, became even more certain. Could it be that her real identity was really discovered by her adoptive father?
Her mother also looked around with a timid look in her eyes, not daring to look at Liu Zhi. Only Liu Zhi refuted Gao Huohuo's provocation and said:
"You little girl, stop talking nonsense here. Three thousand low-grade spirit stones are already a lot.
As a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, have you ever seen so many spirit stones in your life?"
Gao Huohuo sneered, stepped on the box and said:
"What does it have to do with you whether I've seen you or not?
What we are discussing now is your daughter's life. How much is it worth to you?
If it's only worth three thousand, then sorry, I'll have to get some interest back."
After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out a pill and slowly put it into his mouth.
Liu Mei thought that she would not be stabbed today, but then her whole body became stiff, her face turned pale, and blood began to flow from all her orifices.
The whole person looked creepy, as if the dead had come back to life and was eating the living.
Seeing this, everyone around him began to attack Liu Zhi.
"How could you, a Nascent Soul cultivator, only have so few spirit stones?"
"Yes, I heard that he is the Grand Elder of the Blood Demon Sect. Now he can't even save his own daughter. He is worse than a beast."
But another person next to him said, "What do you know? Maybe this daughter is not his own, why waste money?"
Don't you realize that this girl doesn't look like her father at all?"
When the people around heard this, they all began to look at them carefully, and even Liu Zhi himself began to stare at Liu Mei.
Liu Mei's mother was frightened and quickly hid Liu Mei behind her.
"You gossipers, be careful of retribution."
Gao Huohuo spoke at the right time, "It seems that she is really not his daughter. Her mother is feeling guilty."
As he finished speaking, Gao Huohuo secretly opened Liu Zhi's name, and then found a new name on the list. It seemed that it should be Liu Mei's mother.
