Chapter 1168: Gambling on Life
"Lier, take a quick look, is there anything wrong with these meals?" Princess Cai Yue looked at Yan Li.
"No need to look. The food has been poisoned. There are also people hiding in the dark and staring at us. They probably want to see if we will eat the food." After saying that, Yan Li picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.
"Li'er, since you knew it was poisonous, why did you still eat it?" Princess Cai Yue panicked when she saw this.
"Have you forgotten that we have taken the anti-poison pill?" Yan Li said and started eating as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, the others also started eating as if nothing had happened.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, a trace of medicinal powder floated out from Yan Li's fingertips.
When the powder flew towards everyone, their faces turned blue-gray.
"Li'er, what happened to us?" Princess Cai Yue looked at Yan Li curiously.
"We've been poisoned." Yan Li winked at Princess Cai Yue.
Everyone understood immediately after hearing this!
"Lier, what symptoms should we show after being poisoned?" Liu Ao looked at Yan Li curiously.
"Except for the face turning blue-gray, there are no other symptoms. After all, we haven't reached the point of a full-blown outbreak yet." Yan Li said with a smile.
Everyone:...
It seems that I don’t have to act for the time being!
Those people who were staring at Yan Li and the others in the dark left with satisfaction after seeing their faces turn blue-gray.
After those people left, Yan Li and the others sat aside and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
They knew that the head of the Gu family would arrive soon.
Sure enough, not long after those people in the dark left, the head of the Gu family arrived with the elders.
"Master Gu, it's so late, is there anything else?" Young Master Yan Yu looked at Master Gu.
"Don't you realize that something is wrong with you?" When these people saw that Yan Li and the others were showing signs of poisoning, they instantly became less polite.
His tone began to sound fearless.
"Isn't it? After arriving at this yard, our faces suddenly changed color for some reason." Yan Li sighed.
"That's because you have been poisoned. The name of this poison is Qing Yuan. If the poisoned person cannot take the antidote in time, he will die." The head of the Gu family said.
"Master Gu, we have no grudge against each other, why did you poison us?" Liu Ao's face was full of anger.
"If you want the antidote, you can exchange it for this jade pendant. What do you think?" The head of the Gu family took out the jade pendant that Yan Li had given him before.
"So you wanted to embezzle our jade pendant." Princess Cai Yue said.
"This is not embezzlement, this is an exchange, and what is exchanged is your lives." The great elder of the Gu family said coldly.
"Oh..." Yan Li suddenly sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" The head of the Gu family looked at Yan Li.
"I have had a certain physique since I was a child." Yan Li said.
"What kind of physique?" The head of the Gu family looked at Yan Li.
"That is, if anyone wants to embezzle my things, he will be struck by lightning." After Yan Li said this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Boom!
Just after Yan Li finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the head of the Gu family, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"It turns out that it was Patriarch Gu who wanted to embezzle my jade pendant." Yan Li looked at Patriarch Gu coldly.
"It's not just this patriarch who wants to embezzle the jade pendant. They all do." Patriarch Gu said, pointing to the elders, with the idea that if they were to suffer, they should suffer together.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
As soon as the head of the Gu family finished speaking, several bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking the elders to pieces, leaving them burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Master, how could you betray us?" The elders touched their dark faces with resentment.
"What the head of this family said is the truth. I did not betray you." Seeing that all the elders of the Gu family were killed, the head of the Gu family suddenly felt balanced.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? If you embezzle my things, you will be struck by lightning." Yan Li looked at them.
"I don't believe it. You must have used some evil magic." The head of the Gu family didn't believe that there were people with such a physique in the world.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Yan Li said and sighed.
"This patriarch will not return this jade pendant. What can you do?" The head of the Gu family shouted at Yan Li.
Boom!
As soon as the head of the Gu family finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky on his head again.
The power of this heavenly thunder was obviously much greater, and it directly knocked the head of the Gu family to the ground.
"We don't have it, and we don't want that jade pendant anymore."
"That's right, we no longer have any desire for greed."
"Yes, I don't want it at all, please let me go."
……
When the elders saw Yan Li glance at them, they spoke quickly.
Princess Cai Yue: ...
It seems these elders have learned to be honest!
"You really don't want it anymore?" Yan Li looked at them while holding back a smile.
"We don't want it anymore. We don't want it anymore." The elders waved their hands when they heard this.
"Since you don't want it anymore, just give us the antidote." Yan Li looked at the elders.
"Only the head of the family has the antidote for Qing Yuan. We don't have it." Upon hearing this, the eldest elder of the Gu family spoke hurriedly.
"You don't have it?" Yan Li glanced over with a cold gaze.
"We really don't have it. The antidote for Qing Yuan has always been in the hands of the head of the family." The elders were about to cry.
They never want to be struck by lightning again!
"Will you give it to me?" Yan Li looked at the head of the Gu family who was standing beside her.
"You can't even think about getting an antidote." The head of the Gu family had a cold expression on his face.
Boom!
As soon as the head of the Gu family finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck him again.
"You will die soon. When you die, this family master will not be struck by lightning, and the jade pendant will still belong to this family master." The head of the Gu family continued.
Boom!
As soon as the head of the Gu family finished speaking, he was gloriously struck again.
puff……
This time, the head of the Gu family was struck so hard that he vomited blood!
"Master, please don't insist. Give them the antidote quickly, otherwise it's hard to say who will die first." Upon seeing this, the eldest elder of the Gu family hurriedly shouted to the master of the Gu family.
"No, I just don't believe it. Without the antidote, do they dare to kill me?" The head of the Gu family roared.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning from the sky told the head of the Gu family that if he didn't have the antidote, he would be struck to death.
Yan Li: ...
I didn’t expect that the head of the Gu family was so stubborn!
He was betting with himself on who would die first!
"Master Gu, why are you so obsessed with that jade pendant?" Yan Li looked at Master Gu lying on the ground.
"This jade pendant can guide us to meet the main god of the Corpse Mountain." said the head of the Gu family.
"You risked your life just to see that old man?" Yan Li was speechless when he heard that.
"Old man? He is the main god of the Corpse Mountain. My grandfather wanted to ask him a few questions, but in the end he failed to meet the main god and left with regret." The head of the Gu family sighed after he finished speaking.
"So you want to meet that old man just to fulfill your grandfather's last wish?" Yan Li said and looked at the head of the Gu family.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Gu nodded weakly.
