Upon hearing this, Chu Yuntian let Tong Zhan listen to the recording on his phone again. Tong Zhan immediately understood and couldn't help but admire Chu Yuntian even more. In just half a day, he had figured out Zhang Kui's mental journey.
However, Tong Zhan's temper was not as stable as Taihe's. After knowing the truth, he was so angry that he almost jumped up and said angrily: "Zhang Kui, this old guy is so cruel that he doesn't even want his own apprentice. I'm going to find him!"
Taihe quickly stopped him and said, "Tong Zhan, Sect Leader Chu hasn't said anything yet, why are you so anxious? We need to find someone now. If you go find him now, won't it mean he will send someone else? Are we going to waste time with him every day?"
Tong Zhan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry and didn't think it through. Master Chu, what are you going to do?"
Chu Yuntian was not wary of Tong Zhan and Tai He at the moment, and he directly told them his analysis, including the people he suspected. Tong Zhan volunteered, "Master Chu, although I am not very strong, I can still do this little thing. I will go and watch Luo Shigu tonight. If he makes any move, I will come to you at any time. I will guard the fifth elder Fu Yuan tomorrow, and the fourth elder will be handed over to you. How do you think?"
Chu Yuntian looked outside the stone cave, smiled and said, "It's already so late now, I don't think you will gain anything by going there. Anyway, there's nothing to do now, so come with me to Wen Dazhi's place to see if we can find any clues."
Tong Zhan thought about it and felt that what Chu Yuntian said made sense. The two of them didn't waste any time and asked Taihe to keep an eye on the two captured disciples before leaving.
The basement of Wen Dazhi's home.
Zhang Yuqi looked at everything in front of her in a trance. She had been here for four days.
At first, Wen Dazhi brought her food, but later he stopped sending her food and left her here alone. She hadn't eaten anything for three days, and her originally delicate facial features now looked very haggard.
Only she herself knew that she had been poisoned by the cartilage powder and had not eaten for three days. If she were not a warrior and her physical fitness was better than that of ordinary people, she would have died long ago.
Zhang Yuqi leaned on the ground with her arms, supporting her exhausted body, and tried to find something to eat throughout the room. The desire to survive at the moment of death made Zhang Yuqi persist. Only she knew that she might not be able to hold on for another few hours.
Last time in the hall, she felt that she shouldn't have said that about Wen Dazhi. As Wen Dazhi had always been nice to her, she came to Wen Dazhi to apologize to him. But she ended up drinking a glass of water at Wen Dazhi's house, not knowing that he had put cartilage powder in it.
Fortunately, Wen Dazhi didn't have any aphrodisiacs on him, so he didn't touch Zhang Yuqi. But recently, Wen Dazhi hasn't shown up for some reason, leaving Zhang Yuqi alone in the basement to fend for herself!
Zhang Yuqi, with her tired body, was looking for food in the dark room. Even though she was a great master, she had not reached the state of fasting. The normal operation of her body's various functions still followed the law of conservation of energy and required continuous intake of nutrients.
Zhang Yuqi searched the entire room but couldn't find anything edible. Was she really going to die
Zhang Yuqi dragged her exhausted body and curled up in the corner of the room. The spread of the poison and the intense hunger made Zhang Yuqi tremble constantly.
At the last moment of life and death, Zhang Yuqi was still thinking about survival. She was sure that someone would save her, so she wanted to save her energy just to survive.
In the end, Zhang Yuqi's body began to change color, from red to yellow, and then from yellow to black. The toxins began to spread from the heart little by little. This was a symptom of the deterioration of the cartilage powder. Cartilage powder is like this. If it is not dissolved within three days, it will deteriorate and the toxins will begin to spread rapidly. When the whole body is filled with toxins, the whole person will feel as if thousands of ants are gnawing at the heart, and will bleed from all seven orifices and die!
By then, even if the Golden Immortal from the sky came, it would be useless!
Zhang Yuqi watched her body begin to turn black. Within a stick of incense, the poison spread to her entire upper body, leaving only the area above her neck and her arms. Her lower body remained uncolored, and her entire internal organs had been infected with the poison.
Zhang Yuqi realized that she was about to die, and she began to feel drowsy, waiting for the pain of being eaten by thousands of ants.
At this last moment, she recalled the scene of her biological father's death, every little detail about her and Zhang Yiyuan, how good Fu Xinjian was to her, the righteous and heroic demeanor of Chu Yuntian, and of course, the hypocritical faces of Wen Dazhi and Lu Changsheng!
Seeing the poison gradually devouring her palm, Zhang Yuqi knew that she was about to die. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Even if she died, she wanted to die happily, because she would see her biological father soon!
Bang!
The sound of something falling broke the silence in the basement!
Zhang Yuqi thought it was Wen Dazhi, so she curled up in the corner. Even if she died, she didn't want to say a word to Wen Dazhi.
"What the hell? Sect Leader Chu, there's something else going on here. If I hadn't accidentally broken the vase, we wouldn't be able to get down!"
Tong Zhan's voice took away all Zhang Yuqi's thoughts.
The Sixth Elder? Why is he here? To save me
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqi used all her strength, but her voice was still pitifully small, and she shouted heartbreakingly: "I'm here!"
Although the voice was very small and hoarse, it still did not escape the ears of Chu Yuntian and Tong Zhan!
Bang!
Chu Yuntian walked over quickly and kicked the door open. Seeing Zhang Yuqi curled up in the corner exhausted, he felt angry and distressed. He walked over quickly, hugged Zhang Yuqi and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything is fine!"
At this time, the Sixth Elder also rushed over. After seeing Zhang Yuqi, his eyes were filled with anger and his thin body exuded a terrifying aura.
Although Zhang Yuqi and he were not related, he had watched her grow up. He knew how sensible and difficult it was for her. Such a hard-working girl was actually abused by Wen Dazhi. He immediately shouted, "Damn Wen Dazhi, I will destroy you!"
Zhang Yuqi thought of Zhang Yiyuan coming to save her, Fu Xinjian and the Great Elder, but she didn't expect Chu Yuntian to come here to save her. Her heart was filled with gratitude. She fell into Chu Yuntian's arms, looked at her palms that were about to turn black, and said with all her strength: "I will be your woman again... in the next... life..."
Chu Yuntian put his ear close to Zhang Yuqi and heard her words. His eyes became moist and he said, "If I don't let you die, you can't die!" (To be continued)
