Chapter 495 What a pity
Chapter 495 What a pity
Li Zhi quickly bowed, feigning courtesy and casually asking, "Then, may I ask this extraordinary young lady, what is the relationship between the Xingyun Sect and the Star Gate? Why have I never heard of the Star Gate?"
Seeing this, Anu couldn't help but laugh at Li Zhi's pretentious appearance, and let out a clear and pleasant laugh, like a silver bell.
After the laughter subsided, Anu slowly spoke, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Since you ask so sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you..."
She paused briefly, as if gathering her thoughts, and then continued, "Xingmen is the predecessor of the Xingyun Sect..."
"Back then, the Star Gate was not comparable to the current Xingyun Sect. Back then, the Star Gate was awe-inspiring, powerful, and influential..."
"Unfortunately, later... civil unrest broke out within the Star Gate, causing the entire Star Gate to fall apart and eventually collapse completely..."
"When the entire Star Gate collapsed and all the disciples scattered like birds and beasts, one person from within the Star Gate stood up. He united the scattered disciples of the Star Gate, absorbed the remaining heritage of the Star Gate, and then... established the Nebula Sect..."
Li Zhi's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that the establishment of Xingyun Sect actually had such a story.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis about the Xingyun Sect. After all, he was currently wanted by the Xingyun Sect. The stronger the Xingyun Sect became, the more dangerous his situation would be.
"This is the relationship between Xingmen and Xingyun Sect. I wonder if Brother Li is satisfied?"
Anu winked playfully.
Li Zhi lowered his brows, not wanting Anu to see the strange look in his eyes, and said, "Then I wonder what story this Meteorite Forest... holds?"
Upon hearing this, Anu looked around naturally before slowly saying, "Meteor Forest..."
"Back then, the man who absorbed the Star Gate's heritage and founded the Nebula Sect was so powerful that no one could match his brilliance. However, even with his strength, not everyone was convinced of his loyalty."
"At the time, many people didn't believe him. This was because some suspected... that he was the mastermind behind the civil unrest at Star Gate. The so-called Nebula Sect... was actually the Falling Star Sect!"
There seemed to be a hint of indignation in Anu's words.
"Those people knew full well that this man was meticulous and extremely powerful. Dealing with him would be no easy task, but they didn't back down. They secretly united, hoping to find an opportunity to expose the truth and overthrow the Xingyun Sect. However, they never expected that their actions had already been discovered by that man."
"Under that person's orders, the entire Xingyun Sect launched a frantic hunt for them..."
"Finally, they were forced into a desperate situation and trapped in this meteorite forest..."
Anu paused here, and seemed to find it difficult to continue.
Li Zhi listened quietly until now, and he naturally understood the direction of the next story.
Those people will probably not be able to escape the fate of being surrounded and killed in the end.
Li Zhi subconsciously raised his head and looked through the dense jungle to the sky.
Under his Qi-gazing technique, the thick red mist above the jungle was particularly eye-catching. The red mist seemed to be formed by the convergence of countless resentments, so thick that it was impossible to ignore.
After a moment, Li Zhi's gaze fell on Anu from above.
Li Zhi stared at Anu without any concealment and said in a deep voice: "What you said involves the secrets of the Xingyun Sect. How did you know? Could it be..."
Anu smiled slightly, looked directly at Li Zhi and said, "Yes, I do have some connection with those people back then... My mother is a survivor of what happened back then..."
As Anu spoke, memories welled up in her eyes. She continued, "My mother was later adopted by the Zhao family. In order to obtain some magic spells from my mother that were not even included in the Xingyun Sect, the Zhao family hid my mother in the Zhao family and did not hand her over to the Xingyun Sect..."
"Later, my mother was bewitched by Zhao Qingtong and became completely obsessed with him... In the end, she ended up dead!"
Li Zhi's eyes flickered when he heard this. He looked at Anu and said, "So, Zhao Qingtong is your father? Your father actually sent his own daughter to Medicine King Valley to be a medicine slave?"
"Oh! Yes, he is indeed my father!"
Mentioning Zhao Qingtong, Anu's eyes once again flickered with resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "He never considered my mother his wife or concubine, nor did he ever consider me his daughter... In his eyes, we are nothing more than objects to be exploited!"
Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, that's why you want to kill Zhao Qingtong?"
Anu's beautiful eyes flushed red, and she said fiercely: "If I don't die, I will make him die in this life!"
Feeling the resentment and hatred emanating from Anu, Li Zhi sighed, his Adam's apple rolling: "What a pity..."
Anu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked up at Li Zhi abruptly, as if he didn't understand what Li Zhi meant by "what a pity".
Li Zhi's eyes fell on Anu's pretty face, and he said softly: "It's a pity... you don't have the chance to take revenge..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind came from behind Anu without warning!
Anu's face changed suddenly.
However, the moment the cold wind hit Anu, his entire figure disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, a little ghost with a ferocious face and a murderous aura pounced on the place where Anu had originally stood, but missed.
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes, as if sensing something, and quickly turned his gaze to the other side.
Under Li Zhi's gaze, Anu's figure emerged from the ground.
Anu's face was pale, as if she was frightened by the attack just now. Her eyes were full of confusion, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Brother Li, what do you mean?"
Li Zhi stared at Anu coldly with a determined look. He did not say anything in reply, but just pointed at Anu.
In an instant, four gusts of dark wind rose up and attacked Anu again.
Seeing this, Anu did not dare to be careless at all. She shook her body and used the earth escape technique again, and was about to drill into the ground again.
However, this time, Annu had just drilled into the ground when he jumped out of the ground in a hurry.
There was a trace of fear on Anu's pretty face. She jumped high as if there was something terrifying below.
Sure enough, the ground suddenly exploded, and the hundred-eyed insect twisted its ferocious body full of eyes and rushed towards Anu like an arrow.
Anu frowned. She didn't expect that Li Zhi had deliberately ambushed a monster in the ground. It was obvious that he had known that she could use the earth escape technique and was specifically guarding against her magic.
Looking at the hundred-eyed insect below with its bloody mouth and a mouth full of jagged fangs.
Anu's eyes widened, she shouted tenderly, and stretched out her hand towards the hundred-eyed insect.
