"Hu"
I didn't expect that statue to be so strange. The Qilin Beast, despite being a divine beast, had suffered such severe injuries. However, it seems the perpetrator's strength is not to be underestimated; upon reflection, it somewhat resembles Eerie?
After the Qilin Beast was injured, it immediately fell unconscious. I had hoped to gather some clues from it, but that plan has now been temporarily cut off.
Pushing open the window of the room, Li Rui let the fierce wind whip against his face; the painful sensation helped him concentrate his thoughts a little.
Moonlight spilled onto the walls of the house. At this hour, everyone was nearly asleep, except for Li Rui, who was deep in thought.
"What exactly is obstructing my investigation?"
He recalled the scene from that night when they fought. Their movements were completely unlike those of a normal person; they even resembled puppets—confused, stiff-limbed, silent, relying solely on brute strength to swing their fists.
Puppets?
Li Rui seemed to grasp something, but his mind became muddled again, and he couldn't remember anything.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Li Rui immediately became alert and rolled away, cautiously asking, "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside, "Skull requests your presence. All esteemed guests are to come to Skull's residence immediately."
"Alright, I understand!"
At this late hour, Li Rui was momentarily puzzled about why he was being summoned. Whatever the reason, he decided to go first!
After packing some things and properly settling the Qilin Beast, Li Rui wasted no time and headed straight to Skull's residence.
What he never expected was that in addition to himself, there were thirteen other people present as well. Each of them wore a bewildered expression. Li Rui thought to himself: Could it be that Skull has lost his mind and wants to engage in some romantic escapades with these big men?
Haha. What time is it now, and I still have such a magical thought in my mind? Li Rui is even more impressed with himself. Jokes aside, Li Rui calmed down, held his breath, and directly activated his Jade Eye.
"Swish!"
The Jade Eye not only has the ability to turn people to ashes with its Black Flame but also grants the owner powerful visual capabilities. Upon inspection, these thirteen individuals showed no signs of True Qi operation, indicating that there might be some danger. Li Rui thought this way when the Head appeared.
Sure enough, the Head had already been severely injured by him, and it was evident that he felt weak upon emerging. Everyone gasped in surprise:
"Skull!"
They seemed very worried, but Li Rui didn't know who among them was genuinely concerned; perhaps only they understood their own feelings. To put on a show, Li Rui pretended to shout out in concern as well.
The Head waved his hand and asked in a weak voice, "Hmph! Last night I was ambushed; that villain's strength was on par with mine. I caught a beast trying to steal our critical information but unfortunately, due to the sheer number of villains, I couldn't hold them off and allowed that shameless scoundrel to escape."
Li Rui sneered inwardly; he claimed there were many villains, but didn't he know which side had more people?
After a moment, the Head surprisingly continued, "Now, I seriously suspect that one of you fourteen is the villain!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. However, the Head's next words felt like a reassurance, making Li Rui curse him internally for being such a fool. Heh, someone like this truly doesn't deserve to be anyone's leader; he has a big ego but lacks real strength.
Regardless of what others might think or if anyone felt pressured due to recent injuries, Li Rui was actually the least worried among this group. Why?
He had mastered the art of playing dumb while hiding his true strength. The Head Skull thought Li Rui was also severely injured; it was all an act put on by Li Rui to mislead him, aimed at lowering their guard and facilitating his own actions.
Let him check; after the inspection, Li Rui could completely clear himself of suspicion and then act even more boldly! With this realization, Li Rui completely relaxed and quietly awaited this foolish Head's examination.
"Everyone now take off your upper garments. Last night I used my Dragon Spring Sword to refine a thousand-year cold poison. Once this poison contaminates someone, it will cause their skin to rot and spread until death. Now that twelve hours have passed, I believe the villain's back must be completely rotten!"
Haha. Li Rui wanted to laugh upon hearing this. That broken Longsword couldn't even pierce his protective Source Qi. As for that so-called laborious child’s millennium cold poison, it was completely just ice powder, which suppressed True Qi in ordinary people. For Li Rui, whose entire body’s True Qi had transformed into enticing Source Qi, it was nothing at all.
Sure enough, Skull began to check each person one by one, and everyone confidently bared their backs. However, a few big men were surprisingly shy, drawing Head's attention.
"You! Yes, you! What are you looking at? Take off your clothes right now; I need to check properly!"
This statement sounded so awkward that Li Rui felt a chill run down his spine. Why did it feel like the atmosphere was a bit off?
Closing his eyes, Li Rui boldly exposed his smooth and muscular back. Years of training had given him excellent physical condition; his body was well-defined, and his developed yet not intimidating muscles immediately attracted the attention of many present.
After Skull checked everyone’s bodies, he found that everyone had some injuries to varying degrees, all of which were old wounds—except for Li Rui.
Li Rui knew this was all thanks to his previous training. Many people focus on exercising their chest, abdomen, and legs to showcase their muscles but forget about training their backs, which leads to insufficient strength.
After the inspection, aside from receiving envy from a group of big Masters, Skull found nothing wrong with Li Rui.
