The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 90. Night Dark
"Aaaakkhkh....Oh yeahoo!!!
One night at the Zhang family residence, suddenly a woman's shrill scream came from Lu Jia Li's room. The woman who screamed was none other than Zhang Qiaofeng.
Instantly, all the warriors who were there quickly jumped out of bed and dashed quickly towards the source of the sound. Lin Tian and Zhang Hongli were no exception.
These two master disciples were already like demons alone that could disappear and appear somewhere far away. A few seconds after the echo of the voice disappeared, these two people had already reached their destination. Even Lin Tian was already wearing a white mask and the Snow Goddess Sword, a sign that this young man was not playing around and was ready if he had to face a fight.
"What's wrong Miss!!?" lin Tian exclaimed as soon as he had arrived in front of Lu Jia Li's room door that was wide open.
There was a look of Zhang Qiaofeng who fell down with eyes glaring and tearful. His face was pale and his lips were trembling violently.
Zhang Hongli who saw the awkwardness, quickly moved towards the bed. And what he saw was both beyond reason and appalling.
"What's this...?" this grandfather muttered while looking at Lu Jia Li's body.
Lin Tian had already come closer and spontaneously let out a stifled cry upon seeing the sight before him. This young man really felt shocked and a little horrified.
Seen in that bed, Lu Jia Li was stretched out with a stiff body and his entire body was deathly pale. His eyes bulged wide and his mouth gaped until it spit out foamy saliva.
The veins on her neck were greenish-black and protruding tensed all over the girl's neck. His hair is very messy and it appears here and there are gray hair that is not small in number.
"What the fuck? Why did Miss Lu get to this?" exclaimed Lin Tian.
Coinciding with that, Lu Jia Li's room had already been visited by many people. Be it the guards or the family warriors. They looked surprised and astonished as soon as they heard the screams just now.
"Surge! Move!!" there were loud noises coming from behind the crowd. It turned out that this was Lu Tuoli, Lu Jia Li's real father.
"There's ap- Li'er!!!!!" lu Tuoli shouted hysterically as she looked at her daughter's body.
"What's this about? why is my daughter like this?" asked the old man somehow to whom with reddened eyes held back tears.
"Relax, your son has been exposed to an extraordinary evil poison. But it's okay, I'll try to expel the effect of the poison." Zhang Hongli said soothingly as he patted Lu Tuoli's shoulder.
The old man looked at Zhang Hongli, who knew what the view meant, but it was obvious that the father of one was very worried.
"Just calm down, leave it to me." Zhang Hongli said calmly.
Lu Tuoli nodded and stepped aside to make room for Zhang Hongli. Then the first elder of the Zhang family quickly held the girl's wrist to check her pulse.
After a few seconds, Zhang Hongli's countenance changed. His forehead was wrinkled and looked at his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Hem..really bad, a very nasty and vicious poison!" he muttered alone.
Then while everyone was shocked by the statement, Zhang Hongli had already placed the left palm on the neck and the right hand on the navel of the girl. He closed his eyes and slowly, out the inner energy of the two arms containing the energy of Yang.
After a while, slowly but surely, the black color on the neck disappeared. But slowly, Zhang Hongli's right hand that was holding towards the navel turned black.
"Gohh!" erang Zhang Hongli with a wrinkled forehead and was covered in sweat.
They all looked up to see the sight. For those who are silat experts, you know that the grandfather was transferring poison from the girl to his own body. What a dangerous rescue! But that seems to be the only way that can be done right now.
"Prepare the container!!" zhang Hongli's orders in a tone of pain. Slowly, the black color that was previously on the right hand moved to the chest and then continued up to the neck.
Hearing this command, Lu Wen, the Lu family's third son quickly ran to retrieve a container made of metal.
"Give me!" back Zhang Hongli spoke while seizing the metal container. His voice sounded heavier and hoarse.
Then suddenly...
"Uuhhuuekk...uhhuukk...uhuk!"
Zhang Hongli spewed out an extremely viscous liquid that was greenish-black in color. That was the poison that had previously gnawed at the body of Lu Tuoli's daughter.
Zhang Qiaofeng who saw the event grew even more horrified and subconsciously he had grasped Lin Tian's right hand firmly.
"It hurts Nonaaaa....!!" lin Tian screamed inwardly who felt how much the hand that Zhang Qiaofeng grabbed felt almost crumpled his bones.
"Ohuk!!" suddenly Lu Jia Li coughed in blood and fainted instantly. His breathing had returned to order, completely different from the previous one whose breathing seemed disjointed.
Zhang Hongli who was still bored closed his eyes trying to calm himself down. Then said this grandfather after a long sigh, "Everything is fine. Go back to each other's rooms. Except for the family higher ups, come with me!!"
Zhang Hongli brought them all to the meeting room. There sat Zhang Hongli, Zhang Qiaofeng, Lin Tian, Minghao, the Lu brothers, and Ang Bei, Lu Tuoli's best friend.
They sat in their respective places while waiting for what the first elder was about to say.
"It's strange.it's very strange." said Zhang Hongli who had just been silent.
"This poison is very violent and cruel, of course the maker is a clever swordsman. But...how can we fail?"
"On each side of the house was firmly awake by the cunning Heavenly Crow army, inside were me, Lin Tian, and Minghao even elder Gong Fai with his students. Why can we be so careless like this? Why don't the Heavenly Crow troops sound a danger sign if a stranger infiltrates?" said wondering.
"There is only one possible elder" Lu Tuoli said.
"What's that?"
"There are.traitors here!"
Instantly the situation became quiet and tense. Lin Tian and Minghao had already quietly prepared with all the possibilities. A person who is able to injure Miss Lu Jia Li without being caught by anyone, is certainly a clever one! And if there really was a traitor, that person was certainly one of the people in this room! Because these people are classified as the strongest warriors of the family. That's how they think.
After a few minutes of awkwardness that never goes away, Zhang Hongli immediately voiced to melt the atmosphere, "Ah. If Lu Jia Li is already conscious, we will ask him directly."
They agreed with that statement. What a wise decision!
"All right, now come back and rest!" he said it briefly before getting up on his feet followed by the others.
The next day, Lu Jia Li had yet to show any signs of awakening from his stupor. The next day was still the same, the eyes were still tightly closed. Until the day after, the daughter of the leader of the Heavenly Crow Association finally realized from her dreamland.
"Sister Lu....!!" zhang Qiaofeng shouted as he ran towards the girl and hugged her tightly.
"You worry me." she said in that tight embrace, crying.
Zhang Hongli, Lin Tian, Minghao and the Lu brothers were there. After being told by the servants that the girl was awake, the eight men rushed over to this room.
"How are you, Miss?" asked Lin Tian.
There's no answer. Only the blank stares from the two eyes of the Lu girl alone became the answer.
"Miss?" this time Minghao asked.
There was no sound from those beautiful lips. Until Zhang Qiaofeng took off his embrace and shook both his shoulders.
"Sir..sister..answered Lin Tian's question!!"
Still same. Only a blank look appeared on Lu Jia Li's beautiful face.
After a few seconds of silence there was no sound as everyone was overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, Lu Jia Li suddenly shed tears. His chest was sobbing up and down.
"Sister...sister...you're why!??" zhang Qiaofeng cried out in alarm.
"Yes.aaa...aaa"
Finally the girl replied. But those are the only words that come out, which are spoken with gago and unclear.
"Miss Lu, don't-don't because of the poison, you.." said Lin Tian who was surprised to accept this fact.
"He's mute. The poison nearly broke his vocal cords." Zhang Hongli suddenly said.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiaofeng and Lu Tuoli cried loudly at how the beautiful girl was no longer able to speak.
While Lu Jia Li was also surprised to hear this reality. So her cries grew louder and the girl hugged Zhang Qiaofeng tightly, crying silently in Miss Zhang's arms.
"This must be a traitor!! Even though we were all sleeping at the time, the guard outside was so tight that it was impossible for outsiders to enter here without being discovered. Presumably Elder Lu's words were true, that there was indeed a traitor here!!" inner Minghao who had already hot his heart.
As for Lin Tian, he only silently revealed an expression that was difficult to decipher. But his hands clenched tightly until he bleed as a result of piercing his own nails.
