During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Li Ji had a premonition that this might be the work of Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang.

Before entering the village, he told Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang to wait for him outside the village for half an hour.

As a result, a fire broke out just half an hour later.

If those two cannot provide a reasonable explanation, he will make them experience the excruciating pain of being devoured by a snake.

Upon seeing that the village was on fire, and that it was very likely his own home, Ahe felt a pang of anxiety and ran down the mountain without a second thought.

However, the mountain road was rugged and the mountain was covered with vegetation.

In her panic, Ah He tripped and lost her balance.

She staggered forward a few steps, but ultimately lost her balance and fell heavily onto the uneven gravel path.

Elbows and knees scraped against the rough stones, a sharp pain surged up, but he still struggled to get up immediately.

At that moment, a large hand reached out.

It was Li Ji who arrived, and he said, "I'll take you down the mountain."

Ah He bit her lip and grabbed Li Ji's hand.

Li Ji picked up Ahe, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and leaped several feet.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The village at the foot of the mountain was already engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky and sparks flying everywhere.

"My mother is still inside." Ahe pointed in one direction with her left hand, while her right hand gripped Li Ji's arm tightly.

"I understand, you can come down now."

Li Ji's words made Ahe blush slightly. She quickly got off Li Ji and looked at the sea of ​​fire, feeling lost and unsure of what to do.

With a fire this big, it will take a long time to extinguish.

At that time, her mother might...

Thinking of this, Ahe's eyes reddened and tears fell.

Li Ji ignored Ahe beside him, a fleeting glint of dark blue light flashing in his eyes.

The seed of the Netherworld in his dantian circulated rapidly, and in the next moment, a surge of powerful Netherworld True Qi erupted forth.

The moisture in the air was quickly absorbed and transformed into a fine, water-shaped net.

The large, water-shaped net fell from the sky and then pressed down in the direction Ahe pointed.

The fire will be extinguished upon contact with water.

In a short while, most of the fire was completely extinguished, leaving only wisps of white smoke and charred houses.

Ah He, standing to the side, watched this scene in disbelief. Such a method of extinguishing the fire was simply unheard of.

When the fire was extinguished, Ah-He immediately reacted and rushed into a charred house.

The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated when Ahe, completely disregarding the lingering heat and the crumbling walls around her, staggered and pushed open the broken wooden door.

The interior was a mess, with ashes everywhere, and Ah He was extremely anxious.

Finally, next to the collapsed wooden beams, a huddled figure was spotted.

Ah He was shocked. She rushed forward and carefully brushed away the ashes and wood fragments covering the person, and saw that it was indeed her mother.

The other person's eyes were closed, their breath was weak, and they had already fainted. Although they had burns all over their body, they were still breathing faintly.

Ah He's eyes instantly reddened. Suppressing her fear and sobs, she gently helped her up and then helped her out of the house.

Li Ji, who was outside, saw all of this.

Li Ji left without saying goodbye to Ahe.

All he wants to know now is whether the fire was caused by Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang.

Upon arriving at a large tree at the village entrance, Li Ji found only Bai Du Wang and Wu Yun sitting there, while Yan Ling Ji was nowhere to be seen.

Li Ji approached the Hundred Poison King expressionlessly and asked, "Where is Yan Lingji?"

The King of Poisons quickly stood up and replied awkwardly, "This... I don't know either."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Ji's eyes turned cold. "Is this your explanation?"

Just as the King of Poisons was about to say something, he saw a faint blue light emanate from Li Ji's eyes.

The next moment, excruciating pain suddenly exploded.

The King of Poisons boasted that his poison skills were unparalleled in the Yue region and that he could endure all kinds of poisons, but the pain he was experiencing now was completely different.

The pain wasn't in the skin or bones, but spread from the deepest part of the heart.

It felt as if countless cold, slippery little snakes were swimming along my veins, coiling around my heart layer by layer.

The King of Poisons hurriedly tried to resist by circulating his internal energy, but it was like adding fuel to the fire. His meridians quickly spasmed and contracted, and his internal energy even began to flow in a disordered and reversed direction.

The small snake inside her body seemed to be nourished, becoming several times more ferocious than before.

The King of Poisons trembled violently in pain, his fingers clenched tightly, and veins bulged across his neck and forehead.

Then, the King of Poisons collapsed to the ground in pain, his usually cold and aged face twisted and deformed.

Li Ji simply watched coldly until a quarter of an hour later when he stopped sensing and controlling the Yue Snake Life Gu.

When the pain subsided, the King of Poisons was covered in cold sweat, which had soaked his robes.

At this moment, his gaze toward Li Ji was filled with terror and fear.

He was completely unaware that he had been poisoned by a Gu curse, which was the most terrifying part.

With his sorcery, he remained completely unaware, much like a highly skilled physician who suddenly discovers he has a terminal illness.

At this moment, the King of Poisons began to have deep doubts about his own poison techniques.

At the same time, his attitude towards Li Ji completely changed. He used to have the same lazy attitude as when he was in Korea with Yan Lingji and others. In his eyes, it was just that he was now obeying someone else.

But now he discovers that the other party is not human at all, but a tiger that could devour him at any moment.

"Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger," the Hundred Poisons King instantly understood.

Perhaps this is the true bloodline of the Baiyue royal family, rather than the indecisive Crown Prince Tianze.

"I think you should know how to explain this to me now," Li Ji's icy voice interrupted the thoughts in Hundred Poisons King's mind.

The King of Poisons quickly got up and explained to Li Ji what had happened after he left.

It turns out that after Li Ji left, Yan Lingji told Wu Yun that it was actually Li Ji who killed her sister.

Wu Yun didn't believe it and argued with Yan Ling Ji, but how could she possibly win an argument with Yan Ling Ji?

In a fit of anger, Wu Yun limped away.

Seeing this, the King of Poisons had no choice but to go find Wu Yun instead of saying anything more to Yan Ling Ji.

When he and Wu Yun returned, they found that Yan Ling Ji was gone, and at the same time, the village in front of them was ablaze.

After hearing the explanation from the King of Poisons, Li Ji's expression darkened.

"It seems I was too lenient with you before, and Yan Lingji was taking advantage of my leniency."

Upon hearing this, the King of Poisons fell silent, wondering what connection the word "mercy" had with this person.

However, Yan Lingji was indeed too bold.

In the eyes of the Hundred Poisons King, Yan Lingji's escape and arson of the village were merely "bold" acts, because he had seen Yan Lingji do even more outrageous things.

However, Li Ji didn't think so. Yan Lingji had already crossed the line he had set for her.

In the Net of Deception, defection is one of the most serious crimes.

Li Ji left to chase after Yan Lingji.

Before leaving, he handed a bronze plaque to the King of Poisons.

When Yan Lingji fled, the King of Poisons did not follow her, which to some extent earned him some of Li Ji's trust.

He instructed Bai Du Wang to use this token to settle Wu Yun in the Qin Kingdom.

As for Wu Yun, Li Ji did not explain her sister's death to her; he no longer wanted to talk about Ling Ji with anyone.

After most of the day of tracking, it had gotten dark.

Based on his sensitivity to the poison of the Yue Snake.

Li Ji finally found Yan Lingji in a forest.

More precisely, her clothes were discovered first.

Moonlight filtered through the branches and fell onto a small lake in the woods.

Yan Lingji's iconic red dress was scattered along the lakeside.

She stood in the shallow part of the lake, the water reaching her waist, her long black hair hanging down, the wet hair clinging to her snow-white skin, outlining her perfect figure.

A gentle evening breeze rustled through the water, causing Yan Lingji's hair to sway lightly.

The figure was faintly visible beneath the lake water.

Li Ji stood expressionless on the treetop, watching the entire process of Yan Lingji taking a bath.

When Yan Lingji finished her pleasant bath and dressed, she noticed an unusual shadow under the tree.

Yan Lingji looked up and saw Li Ji looking down at her with a blank expression.

A flicker of panic and annoyance flashed in Yan Lingji's eyes as she stared at Li Ji and said, "I didn't expect you to have a penchant for peeping at people bathing, little brother?"
