Chapter 2727: Coincidentally Meeting Zi Chong
Li Lingtian was very fast. The Zi family member who had just fainted suddenly opened his eyes under Li Lingtian’s control. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
He looked at Li Lingtian with a panicked expression. He could still remember Li Lingtian’s fist shadow, which was so fast that he felt suffocated.
To be able to knock out a Ninth-Order Stellar-level powerhouse like him with a single punch required a certain level of strength.
Li Lingtian looked at the Zi family and said coldly, ""If you cooperate with me, you still have a chance to live. If you don’t want to live, you can do so."
As Li Lingtian spoke, he took out a black pill from his Infinite Space Ring and forcefully tossed it into the purple-clad man’s mouth.
Only then did he release the Zi family’s mute acupoint. The Zi family immediately held their throats with their hands, wanting to retch.
However, he had already absorbed the pill. Li Lingtian said coldly, ""Don’t do useless work. Let’s take a break."
His family member looked at Li Lingtian in panic and asked, ""What did you feed me?"
"It’s a tonic, a great tonic. However, it’s better for you to keep your voice down. Otherwise, I’ll do something bad to you." Li Lingtian threatened.
The Zi family naturally knew that they had eaten something bad. They lowered their voices to the lowest possible level and said,"We don’t know each other. Why do you want to harm me?"
"Yes, I’m not trying to harm you. I just have something to ask of you, so I want to ask you for help." Li Lingtian replied matter-of-factly.
The Zi family was speechless. Was this the attitude of a beggar? He was a little confused.
However, he knew that he had been threatened. The matter was not as simple as Li Lingtian had made it out to be.
"How should I address you?" Li Lingtian asked the Zi family.
"Zichong."
"Do you know Zi Yang?"
"You’re Li Lingtian!" Zi Chong immediately guessed Li Lingtian’s identity.
Li Lingtian looked at Zi Chong and smiled. " You’re not bad. You guessed it just like that? " Not bad, so I wonder if you can help me with something?"
Zi Chong looked at Li Lingtian’s unbridled behavior and recalled the food that Li Lingtian had given him. He immediately said, ""I will not betray my family."
"So loyal?"
Li Lingtian activated his Divine Consciousness and the God-Destroying Flame appeared in his hand before he placed it on Zi Chong’s neck.
Zi Chong looked at Li Lingtian and his body trembled. He was a timid person to begin with. He was a direct descendant of the Zi family and was used to being pampered.
The Zi family had heard of Li Lingtian’s strength. He was a Domain Lord Tier One. Hence, when they guessed that it was Li Lingtian, they were in despair.
He knew that he was no match for Li Lingtian. Looking at the God-Destroying Flame on his neck, which was still burning hot, he shivered.
"You have to think carefully. If you protect your Zi family, can the Zi family protect your life? It’s better to let yourself live, don’t you think?"
Li Lingtian’s threat was perfect, especially when the God-Destroying Flame was placed on his neck.
As Li Lingtian spoke, he used the Flaming Blade Aura to draw the blade closer to Zichong. The blade did not cut into his flesh and blood oozed out.
Zi Chong panicked as he looked at Li Lingtian and hurriedly said, ""I’ll do as you say."
It was only then that Li Lingtian retracted the God-Destroying Flames in his hand. He looked at Zi Chong and said, ""You’re smart."
"Then when will you give me the antidote?" Zi Chong hurriedly asked.
"Don’t worry. I won’t die for a while. I’ll give it to you after I’m done." Li Lingtian released Zi Chong.
The two of them walked toward the Zi Residence together. During this time, Li Lingtian looked at Zi Chong and asked, ""Can you bring it to the Zi family for me?"
Zi Chong had already admitted defeat. He could only save his life first. He immediately said,"Sure."
"What is your status in the Zi family?"
I’m Zi Yang’s younger cousin and also a direct descendant. "
" It’s fate. But Zi Yang is already dead. What happened to the Zi Yang that appeared later? " Li Lingtian asked about something he was more concerned about.
"I know Zi Yang went to kill you. I don’t know anything else. After all, my status in the Zi family doesn’t allow me to come into contact with core secrets."
Upon hearing Zi Chong’s words, Li Lingtian had a rough idea. As long as the one who killed him was the real Zi Yang, the video he saw that day must be fake.
The two of them were still very fast. They arrived at the entrance of the Zi family’s house. There were 20 guards patrolling in front of the door.
When he saw Li Lingtian and Zi Chong walking over, he immediately said, ""Young Master Zi, you’re back."
"Yes, the mission that the family head gave me has been completed."
Although Zi Chong was not a core member of the Zi family, he did have a certain status. After all, he was a direct descendant.
He did not say anything else and let the two of them enter.
After entering the Zi family, one could see many palaces. In the Zi family, there were small teams patrolling everywhere.
Li Lingtian finally heaved a sigh of relief after entering the Zi family.
"Where is the place where your Zi family is researching the killing machine?"
When Zi Chong heard the word ’killing machine’, his expression changed and he panicked. He immediately said, ""This is the core secret of the entire Zi family. To be honest, I’ve never seen a killing machine before. I don’t know what it looks like."
Seeing that Zi Chong was not lying, Li Lingtian said in disdain, "" Zi Yang, you’re my cousin. He can even activate a killing machine. You haven’t even seen it before, and you still have the cheek to say it. "
" He’s a peak Stellar-level powerhouse, while I’m just an ordinary Stellar-level Ninth Order powerhouse. The difference is huge, alright? "
Zi Chong retorted when he saw Li Lingtian’s disdainful gaze.
Suddenly, Zi Chong remembered that he still had to submit the mission to the Zi family head when he returned to the Zi family.
Some people already knew that he had returned to the Zi family. If he did not submit the mission, it would not be good.
Zi Chong looked at Li Lingtian and said, " I might have to leave first. I’m going back to the Zi family to look for the family head first. They already know I’m back. If I don’t look for the family head, I’m afraid you’ll be implicated. "
Li Lingtian recalled how busy Zi Chong was when he came back and felt that it might be true.
Moreover, it could be seen that this Zi Chong was not too bold. Moreover, he even gave Zi Chong a Soul Severing Pill.
This was not a fatal pill, but as long as the antidote was not found within three days, the soul would have an unimaginable result, and the end result would be worse than life and death.
"Sure, but don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you left. You can use your AI to check if a domain lord can break the pill."
As Li Lingtian had instructed, Zi Chong immediately searched the AI and found out the terrifying aspect of the Soul Severing Elixir. It was also noted that only World Lords could break it.
Originally, he really had some hope. If the family head could crack the poison pill, he would not have to betray him. But now ...
