Qu Li suppressed the smile on his face, and his eyes became sharper.
"Those who do evil will eventually perish! Do you really think that by scheming against everyone, you can realize your dream of unifying the Three Kingdoms?"
There was a surge of anger in the high priest's eyes.
"Ever since I avoided the Twin Gu, your plan was doomed to fail! Now, you think that by trapping all the court officials here and getting rid of Ayi and Xiao Xian, you will have no more obstacles! You are wrong!"
The last two words, with the force of thunder, were like a huge rock falling on his heart.
"Although I can't say I'm omnipotent, I can still make you, this scourge, completely disappear from this world!"
The high priest is not indestructible, and she can blow his head off with just one bullet.
"Qu Li, you're even more ruthless than your mother! And smarter too!"
"Thank you for the compliment! Everyone likes to hear compliments, but you've already praised me so many times today that my ears are almost callused!"
Qu Li frowned, his tone full of impatience.
The high priest sneered, "I really wouldn't take any risky action without being fully prepared."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qu Li's heart skipped a beat and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged over him.
The next moment, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Lingyue were brought up.
Since Qu Li has revealed all his ambitions, the high priest has nothing to worry about.
If you can't go left, you will be the winner!
"Cousin, please save me and grandpa!" Changsun Lingyue struggled hard, her hair disheveled and her eyes red.
She regretted it!
She thought Caiyue was really doing this for her own good.
Little did they know that Caiyue had already been the high priest's subordinate.
During this period of time, she deliberately sowed discord between her and Qu Li, making her hate him more and more.
It eventually led to a disaster!
It was not until she and Changsun Wuji were held hostage by the high priest's men that she suddenly understood everything.
Qu Li's pupils constricted, and his grip on the gun tightened.
The high priest's eyes were cold. "You said that all my plans were doomed to fail the moment you avoided the Twin Gu! So, what do you think now?"
He knew very well Qu Li's attitude towards his relatives.
Take care, take care!
It was this kind of emotion that gave her a soft spot.
Changsun Wuji was mute-pressed and couldn't speak. He just stared at Qu Li with worry in his eyes.
Qu Li closed his eyes tightly, and when his eyes swept across Changsun Lingyue's face, he wished he could tear her into pieces.
If she knew that Changsun Lingyue was so stupid, she would never have let it go for the sake of Changsun Li.
Changsun Lingyue was shaking like a sieve at this moment, and there was not a trace of blood on her face.
Qu Li pursed her lips tightly.
Changsun Lingsi has always believed in Changsun Lingyue's words and regards Changsun Lingyue as a treasure.
Now Changsun Lingyue is being held hostage by the high priest's men, but Changsun Lingsi and others are nowhere to be seen. It is unclear whether Changsun Lingyue sent them away in advance or they are also controlled by the high priest's men.
Changsun Lingyue sobbed incessantly, making the already irritable person even more agitated.
Changsun Li looked at Changsun Lingyue in disbelief and was about to rush forward. The sword across Changsun Lingyue and Changsun Wuji's necks pressed deeper, and blood oozed out.
"Since everything has been completely exposed, there's no need to be hypocritical any longer! Just detoxify me and I won't harm anyone in the Changsun family!"
Hearing this, Changsun Li was furious.
"Shut up!"
Changsun Lingyue's eyes were bright, like a drowning person who had grabbed the only life-saving straw.
Her eyes were red and she begged in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, please save us!"
Qu Li felt even more annoyed.
"Shut up!" Changsun Li shouted.
Zhang Sun Lingyue sobbed, "Dad, if my cousin hadn't saved us, my grandfather and I would have died."
She knew very well that Qu Li would definitely not care about her for what she had done before.
Fortunately, she and Changsun Wuji were held hostage together. Qu Li cared so much about Changsun Wuji that she would definitely not stand idly by.
No matter how outrageous the mistakes Changsun Lingyue had made in the past, Changsun Li always remembered that she was his daughter and was always tolerant of her.
Now she is actually using Qu Li and Changsun Wuji. He is really disappointed.
Everything around seemed to be paused.
Except for the high priest who looked relaxed, the others all had serious expressions.
Xiao Xian seized the opportunity and prepared to capture the high priest.
But he was stopped by Qu Li.
"Do you think I don't know the principle of capturing the leader first?" She looked sharp.
"If we continue to waste time, it will not benefit us at all."
"Go out during the chaos and see if the other members of the Changsun family have been detained or captured."
"You want me to leave you here alone?" Xiao Xian's eyes were cold and his tone was deep.
"Xiao Xian, what time is it now?"
The high priest's full attention was on her, and it was not easy for her to withdraw. Otherwise, how could she ask him for help?
Xiao Xian pursed his lips.
Qu Li didn't waste any more time talking to him, but turned his gaze back to the high priest's face.
"Okay, but you have to release him first!"
The corner of the high priest's mouth curled up, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
Qu Li sneered, "I'm not a three-year-old child! What if I detoxify you but you refuse to let me go?"
Xiao Xian looked at her deeply and slowly retreated to the corner.
The high priest frowned, "That depends on whether you care more about their lives!"
"How about this! We should both take a step back. Have your people take them to the tree on the other side of the rockery, and I'll give you the antidote."
The high priest looked towards the rockery, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Okay!"
Qu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The high priest raised his hand, and the guards who were holding Changsun Wuji and Changsun Lingyue led them towards the rockery.
The little emperor was very worried.
He estimated the distance in his mind and felt that he could let Zhao Yidao go over to rescue people.
Zhao Yidao had a sullen face and showed no intention of following orders.
"Zhao Yidao, you don't even obey my orders?"
Zhao Yidao said calmly, "Your Majesty, I am solely responsible for protecting Your Majesty's safety! Furthermore, since Miss Qu has made such a decision, she must have already believed in her chances of success."
He just saw clearly that Xiao Xian wanted to capture the high priest, but was stopped by Qu Li.
She seemed threatened, but in fact, she had her own rules.
The little emperor was so concerned that he didn't understand what was happening.
The situation is dangerous now. If either the high priest or Qu Li relaxes his guard, he will lose the chance of winning.
The high priest was obviously ambitious and wanted to kill the little emperor. If he tried to save him at this time, he might fall into the trap of the high priest.
Just when the little emperor was about to get angry and forcefully ordered him to rescue Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Lingyue had already been taken away.
