But unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly woke up, slapped the man in black robes, and then hurriedly ran away.
All of this happened so suddenly that he hasn't even had time to process it yet.
"Hmph, once I'm healed, we'll bring that old bastard back!"
The man in black robes snorted coldly.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on healing his injuries. The intense pain in his body came from time to time, causing beads of cold sweat to seep from his forehead.
Just then, a cloud of black mist suddenly rose from the void.
After the black mist dissipated, two white figures appeared.
Chapter 783 Waiting for a Rabbit to Fall into a Trap
Chaoyin Cave on Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.
The man in black robes was sitting cross-legged, healing his wounds, while the white elephant remained completely bewildered.
Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air.
The next moment, two white figures appeared in the black mist.
It was Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you're finally back!"
"We've just captured that old bastard Zhen Yuanzi!"
"I never expected that Zhen Yuanzi would actually manage to escape!"
"Moreover, the black-robed protector was also injured by Zhen Yuanzi!"
As soon as Bai Xiang saw Li Yao, he immediately spoke.
He had witnessed Li Yao's prowess and knew that Li Yao held a superior position in Wutian's court, so he dared not show any disrespect to Li Yao.
"The man in black robes was injured by Zhen Yuanzi?"
"What exactly happened?"
"Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi sensed something was wrong and didn't drink the poisoned tea you prepared?"
"I just saw him return to Wuzhuang Temple!"
Li Yao saw the man in black healing his wounds on the ground, frowned, and asked.
"This has nothing to do with me!"
"I have already tricked Zhen Yuanzi into drinking the poisoned tea according to the Black-Robed Protector's plan!"
"Zhen Yuanzi had already collapsed, but for some reason, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up!"
"Then he injured the black-robed protector and ran away in a hurry!"
"It must be the poisoned tea from Ayinava that's the problem!"
"No wonder he could only ever be an Arhat his whole life, he really was a good-for-nothing!"
"Once we get back this time, we must make sure that the Buddha Wutian punishes Ayinava!"
"That damned good-for-nothing! It's all because of him that Zhen Yuanzi escaped!"
The white elephant rambled on and on.
He felt that his acting skills today were already very good, and he had completely fooled Zhen Yuanzi.
Therefore, he blamed Aynara for today's failure.
This way he can evade responsibility.
"Zhen Yuanzi drank the poisoned tea, yet he wasn't poisoned?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes slightly; he already understood what was going on.
"yes!"
"These two cups are poisoned tea prepared by Ayinavar!"
"Look, Zhen Yuanzi has already finished his cup, but I haven't touched mine at all!"
The white elephant pointed to two teacups on the table; one was empty, and the other was full.
Li Yao nodded slightly, then walked to the table, picked up the full teacup, and took a small sip.
Bai Xiang was shocked. He was about to speak to stop him when he saw Li Yao had already taken a sip of the poisoned tea.
However, a moment later, Li Yao was completely unharmed and looked perfectly normal.
"This poisoned tea was indeed useless!"
"That Aynava is such a useless piece of trash!"
When Bai Xiang realized that Li Yao had no reaction at all, he started cursing Ayinava again.
He even picked up the cup of poisoned tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"You drank poisoned tea?"
Li Yao looked surprised when he saw the white elephant drink the poisoned tea.
"Yes, I drank it!"
The white elephant nodded.
How are you feeling?
Li Yao smiled gently.
"I feel a little dizzy!"
White Elephant's expression suddenly changed.
No sooner had he finished speaking than, with a thud, the white elephant collapsed limply to the ground.
"ah?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, what's going on?"
The man in black robes, who was healing his wounds nearby, looked puzzled when he saw the white elephant suddenly collapse to the ground.
"This tea is poisonous, and not just any ordinary poison!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"Then how come you're completely unharmed?"
The man in the black robe was even more puzzled.
"Hmph, Ayinava's poisonous tea can't possibly poison me, not even in my next life!"
"However, his poisoned tea could poison even ten white elephants!"
Li Yao chuckled softly.
"That white elephant is really stupid. He actually dared to drink Aynara's poisoned tea!"
Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side, smiled and said.
"???"
The man in black robes looked at the white elephant lying on the ground with a complicated expression, his mouth opening and closing, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, Li Yao's thoughts were focused on Zhen Yuanzi.
There's definitely something wrong with this Zhen Yuanzi.
He probably already knew about what was happening in the Three Realms.
The white elephant's impersonation of Guanyin was probably seen through by Zhen Yuanzi long ago.
Before his passing, Dipankara Buddha probably told Zhen Yuanzi not only the whereabouts of the seventeen relics, but also something else.
Perhaps all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the Buddha.
Of course, these are all just Li Yao's speculations.
However, he is now quite certain that Zhen Yuanzi knows some inside information.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what should we do now?"
The man in black glanced at the white elephant lying on the ground and asked a question.
"Let's go back to Lingshan first!"
Li Yao glanced at Xiao Bai.
Immediately, the two of them transformed into two golden rays and disappeared.
"Hmph, you idiot!"
The black-robed man's wounds have almost healed.
He stood up and kicked the white elephant.
He then instructed his subordinates, saying, "Take this fool back to Mount Ling."
Then, he transformed into a golden ray of light and flew towards Mount Ling.
Before long, Li Yao and the others returned to Lingshan.
"Black Robe, how's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
Inside the main hall, Wutian sat cross-legged on a black lotus. Seeing the man in black robes return, he asked indifferently.
"Reporting to Buddha, we had already tricked Zhen Yuanzi into going to Mount Luojia..."
The man in black robes recounted the entire situation to Wutian in detail.
Of course, he emphasized the fact that he had massacred the Wuzhuang Temple, hoping to receive Wutian's reward.
To his surprise, Wutian didn't even react, which made him very disappointed.
"I never expected that even Ayinava's poisonous tea couldn't poison Zhen Yuanzi!"
