I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Li Yingyi was an orphan who almost died in the snowstorm that year.

To survive, they became shadows of the Jiang family.

He was young then and didn't know what a shadow meant; he only knew that he had plenty to eat and drink and could live in a tall building.

Later, the Jiang family sent him to the Xuantian Sect.

With his talent and the resources of the Jiang family, he became a true disciple in just three years.

After this period, Li Yingyi no longer had to worry about hunger and cold, and his mind began to wander.

The "Yi Wood Divine Technique" is not something an ordinary person can master, which means that Li Yingyi possesses extraordinary talent.

If one comes from a first-class family, one is capable of becoming a god-like figure.

If it had been the Xuan Tian Sect instead of the Jiang family who found him, he would have stood out from thousands of disciples and distinguished himself.

Unfortunately, he was an orphan.

An orphan with no one to rely on can only become someone else's shadow with a bright future!

Even the name Li Yingyi was given to him by the Jiang family.

He was unwilling to accept this and wanted to take control of his own destiny.

He has been working on this for years.

The Jiang family placed a divine lock on him, a restriction planted deep within his soul.

Any external force that breaks through will cause damage to the soul and result in immediate death.

Li Yingyi searched through all the classic texts of the Xuantian Sect, hoping to find a way to save them.

The result is naturally nothing.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better when a small incident sparked his thinking.

Li Yingyi's "Yi Mu Divine Technique" has miraculous effects in healing injuries and detoxification.

One day, a disciple who had been poisoned was brought to him for treatment.

The moment Li Yingyi was refining the antidote, he suddenly realized that the poison was like a restriction in his mind, and he could use the antidote to threaten others.

The Jiang family planted a restriction on his soul, forcing him to become a shadow.

Then he could use the Ten Deadly Poisons on the Crown Prince to force the Jiang family to lift the restrictions!

This idea terrified Li Yingyi so much that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.

The Jiang family is a first-class family in the Northern Region, and their position is unshakeable.

Before that, Li Yingyi was always thinking about how to break free from the constraints and dared not be his enemy.

Poisoning the crown prince would be catastrophic if exposed!

"I'll drag the Jiang family's heir down with me even if I die!"

In his fear and panic, Li Ying steeled his resolve and suddenly felt the vastness of the world around him.

This is also why he kept trying to find the Jiang family's heir after he guessed that he was in the Xuantian Sect.

A perfect opportunity to poison him!

Last time, Wu Daoqing said that none of the people on his list were the heirs of the Jiang family, so he conducted a reverse investigation and selected four people.

With four options, Li Yingyi wasn't entirely confident, so he planned to poison everyone!

Among the four people was Xuan Tianzi.

Just like last time, Li Yingyi thought Shen Ming was unlikely to be a candidate. With such terrifying talent, the Jiang family would secretly cultivate him as a divine child, so there was no reason for them to send him to the Xuantian Sect.

But he dared not gamble; what if he did?

If the Jiang family feared that external enemies would eliminate Shen Ming at any cost because of his extraordinary talent, they sent him to the Xuan Tian Sect.

All of these are possible, so Li Yingyi decided that it would be better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

The problem is that Shen Ming is the Xuan Emperor, a person of special status.

The other three were all inner disciples, and he was able to find opportunities to poison them even within the sect.

The only exception was Xuan Tianzi; Li Yingyi dared not make any moves within the inner domain.

Just as they were worrying about this, news of the Taiyi Treasure Vault arrived.

Upon learning that Shen Ming was about to take action, Li Yingyi could not contain himself; it was a golden opportunity.

The Shangqing Jade Gourd he gave to Shen Ming did indeed contain a magical antidote.

It can cure most rare poisons, even the Ten Deadly Poisons of the Ten Deadly Sects.

However, the spirit wine contains small ginseng fruit.

It is colorless, odorless, and even non-toxic; it is only used to enhance flavor.

However, if the Soul-Slaying Poison of the Ten Absolute Sects is mixed in, it will form a deadly poison in the body: the Twin Calamity.

Li Yingyi not only wanted to poison the body, but also wanted to shift the blame to the Ten Absolute Sect.

Otherwise, the Xuantian Sect would not tolerate him.

Anyway, at this moment, the group of seven found a new treasure room.

This time, no one tried to get in, and we were able to enter smoothly.

The interior space exceeded expectations, with the high dome seemingly touching the sky.

Mysterious star maps are painted on the dome, and the ground is paved with smooth, mirror-like jade, each piece of which emits a soft glow and is extremely valuable.

However, they did not see any rare or precious materials, so the seven people would not bother to pry up the jade on the ground.

"There are two doors here! This is the Dragon Tiger Gate!"

The Jiao siblings stepped forward, using their strengths to their advantage.

The two doors are almost integrated with the wall and will not be noticed unless you look closely.

The brother and sister walked back and forth in front of the two doors, making various hand seals.

"Go through the Tiger Gate!"

Soon, they stood in front of the door on the left, eager to get started.

Li Yingyi, Li Xiaoluo, and another Xuantian Sect disciple named Fang Zheng didn't think much of it.

"Let's go this way."

Shen Ming pointed to another door and said bluntly, "The door on the left has many restrictions and traps inside."

Upon hearing this, Li Yingyi and the other Xuantian Sect disciples looked at each other speechlessly.

The Jiao siblings' faces showed displeasure.

"You mean we're going to harm you and send you to your deaths?" Jiao Qing said bluntly.

She was naturally an impatient person, not to mention that her brother Jiao Fei's eyes were practically glued to Li Miaozhen, who was traveling with Shen Ming, the whole way.

"I wonder if this junior brother has any insight?" Jiao Fei said coldly.

Throughout the journey, Li Miaozhen only responded to Shen Ming, which made him jealous.

“I have the Eye of Truth, and I can see what’s behind the door,” Shen Ming said.

"The Eye of Insight? I've never heard of it," Jiao Qing said frankly.

"Perhaps there is such a magical secret technique, but you are still young and may not have mastered it yet."

Jiao Fei's words weren't as direct, but they were even more scathing.

"Our Jiao family's great supernatural ability, 'Qiankun Insight,' is renowned throughout the Northern Region."

“Supernatural powers are the methods of the Heavenly Sovereign. Senior Brother probably hasn’t mastered them, or perhaps the Taiyi Sect knows about your Jiao family’s abilities and is deliberately plotting against you,” Shen Ming said.

He spoke very seriously and sincerely.

The Jiao siblings were furious and nearly jumped up in anger.

"Senior Brother Li, whose advice are you listening to?!"

The brother and sister looked at Li Yingyi and the others.

Li Yingyi remained silent, while Li Xiaoluo and Fang Zheng clearly favored the Jiao siblings.

The Jiao family's ability to discern the universe is indeed renowned.

“Let’s decide by vote,” Li Yingyi said.

Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen narrowed her eyes. Whether it was a vote by seven people or a vote by three people, the result was already predetermined.

Li Yingyi is not as simple as he seems!

Li Xiaoluo and Fang Zheng didn't think much of it and sided with the Jiao family.

"Junior brother."

Li Yingyi did not express his opinion, but looked apologetic.

"It's alright, Senior Brother, please be careful." Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen entered the Dragon Gate.

The attitude towards the Demonic Sect in the past, and now knowing about the differences, made Shen Ming determined to split up and act separately.

This was something the other five hadn't expected.

"Your junior brother here is quite unique," Jiao Fei said with a half-smile.

"Really, it's a shame that my senior brother even gave him a gourd."

Li Xiaoluo felt that Shen Ming's behavior made Li Yingyi lose his authority in front of the Jiao siblings, and she became angry with him.
