BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122 - 122 Gem
Seeing that Chao Bai’s expression was amiss, Kong Rui asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with that box?”
Chao Bai frowned and replied in a low voice, “There’s demonic energy inside.”
Kong Rui looked at the wooden box in surprise, but she didn’t sense any demonic energy.
“Why can’t I feel it?” Kong Rui was about to ask when she saw that Chao Bai had already made a move.
Kong Rui didn’t expect Chao Bai to be faster than her!
She was about to snatch the box from Yin Ling’s hand to see what was going on when she saw Chao Bai grab the box from Yin Ling’s hand.
The man in black and Zhang Xuan reacted at the same time and grabbed the box.
Chao Bai grabbed Kong Rui’s hand and rushed towards the box.
Just before Zhang Xuan and the man in black touched the box, Chao Bai grabbed it.
Before the two of them could react, Chao Bai had already muttered a teleportation curse and instantly left the ancestral hall.
The two of them arrived near the secret room and saw that the secret guard who was tracking Yin Ling had already left. He must have gone to report Yin Ling’s movements to the Li family’s patriarch.
“The thing you’re looking for should be here!” Chao Bai handed the box to Kong Rui.
Before Kong Rui could ask what this box was, Chao Bai’s expression changed slightly as he asked, “Can we leave now?”
Kong Rui knew that they must have alarmed the Li family. If they were surrounded by the Li family’s patriarch and the others, they wouldn’t be able to escape so easily!
“Let’s go!” Kong Rui didn’t hesitate and grabbed Chao Bai.
The corners of Chao Bai’s mouth curled up in satisfaction. His fingers moved slightly and drew a faint golden halo under the two of them.
The halo moved slightly, and Kong Rui felt as if her body was sucked in by a huge force.
She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the rapid movement of the air around her.
When everything returned to stillness, Kong Rui opened her eyes.
As she looked at the antique wooden table and chair in front of her, she smiled and said, “You have to teach me this cultivation technique when you have time.”
“It’s just a small array. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you,” Chao Bai said, since he didn’t intend to hide anything. Then, he walked to the window and gently pushed it open.
“Do you think Yin Ling and the others know who stole their things?” Kong Rui knew that Chao Bai had used a spell that could make him invisible, but she wasn’t sure if this spell was effective towards Zhang Xuan and the man in black.
Chao Bai shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. In any case, they won’t be able to see our true faces.”
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment. Then, she understood that under the invisibility technique, Chao Bai must have changed their appearance as well.
What a meticulous freak!
It seemed that she should refrain from offending him. If this person became an enemy, how terrifying would he be?!
As Kong Rui was thinking, Chao Bai gestured with his chin at Kong Rui. “See if the thing in that box is what you’re looking for.”
Only then did Kong Rui remember the box she had snatched from Yin Ling.
Chao Bai was so certain that this was what she was looking for. What was it?
As Kong Rui looked at the purple crown pattern that symbolized the royal family, she immediately became nervous.
“Wait!” Chao Bai said. He formed a seal with one hand and set up a barrier around the two of them before nodding at Kong Rui.
She opened the wooden box gently. Inside, there was a completely black gem. Black gas was constantly circulating in the gem. Kong Rui could clearly feel that the gem was filled with demonic energy. The density was even comparable to that of the deepest demonic forest in the Demon Abyss!
How could there be such a thing in the Li family’s residence?
Was this the most important secret the Li family wanted to hide?
The royal family’s purple crown pattern…
Did that mean that this gem filled with demonic energy belonged to the royal family?
