During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Li Ji carried Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang at breakneck speed until they reached the outskirts of Nanyang City before stopping.

The two azure sailors slowly dissolved, turning into two puddles of water, and Yan Lingji and Bai Du Wang fell from the sky as a result.

Li Ji ignored the two men and focused on experiencing his current body.

After a fierce battle with Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei and five hundred White-Armored Soldiers, most of the Ming Shui True Qi in his dantian was depleted. However, with the help of the Ming Shui Seed, Li Ji estimated that the depleted Ming Shui could be fully restored within half a day.

Besides that, his left hand felt slightly frozen. It was from when he was scrambling for the three Poison Kings and his companions, when he was hit by Bai Yifei's ice shards. But with his current physique, this frostbite would heal in no time.

He himself couldn't say exactly how good his physique had become. First, he had undergone Lian Po's miraculous process of growing new hair and beard, and then his entire body had been transformed by the true energy of the Ming River. He was no longer the same as before.

Their most distinctive trait is that they seem to have inexhaustible strength in every gesture, their breathing is long and deep, and their physical strength seems limitless.

But Li Ji knew that it was just an illusion caused by a short-term surge in power. He needed time to get used to it and see how far he had gone.

Aside from his physical constitution, his strongest ability now is his ever-changing water control, which is the biggest change brought to him by the Transformation of the Serpent into a Dragon Technique. Its destructive power has surpassed the killing sword technique he honed on the edge of life and death over the past ten years. Moreover, there are many variations in this water control technique, and he has only mastered one of them so far.

The Yue Snake Transformation Technique, besides body tempering and water control, is also adept at driving away snakes and insects and neutralizing all poisons because the Yue Snake is an ancient venomous snake. However, he has only been learning this technique for a short time and has not yet figured out how to use this ability to neutralize poisons.

After experiencing the changes in his body, Li Ji began to take stock of what he had gained from entering the royal tomb.

Besides the Yue Snake Transformation Dragon Technique, which had the greatest impact on him, there were the five Fire Rain Agates, as well as the treasures that Yan Lingji and the Hundred Poison King brought out from the Baiyue King's Mausoleum.

With those five Fire Rain Agates and the Yue Snake Transformation Dragon Technique of the Baiyue royal family, he should have been able to complete the mission.

It is virtually impossible for others to learn the Transformation of the Serpent into a Dragon Technique. However, this secret technique contains multiple functions such as body tempering, water control, and poison neutralization. Even if it is broken down, it is still of great value to the Luo Net.

Only then did Li Ji remember the square jade box he had stolen from Yan Lingji.

He took out a square jade box from his bosom, opened it, and in the very center of the box lay a piece of dark blue-green jade.

It turned out to be a corpse jade.

So-called "corpse jade" refers to ancient jade formed when a corpse is buried with cold jade for a long time, and the jade is soaked in the essence and blood of the deceased and nurtured by the earth's warmth.

Judging from the color of this piece of jade, it has been nurtured for at least several hundred years.

Did Yan Lingji and her group go through all that trouble to bring this out of the royal tomb?

"This thing is useless to you." A clear voice shifted Li Ji's gaze from the Corpse Jade to Yan Lingji.

At this moment, Yan Lingji was looking at Li Ji with a complicated expression.

She never expected that this person would not only defeat the four of them so easily, but also escape unscathed from Bai Yifei and the White Armor Army. If it weren't for him, the four of them would probably have fallen into Bai Yifei's hands, making Bai Yifei the biggest winner.

But now, he has forcibly taken nearly half of the royal tombs belonging to Yan Lingji and the others from Bai Yifei.

"If this corpse jade is useless, why do you value it so much?" Li Ji didn't really understand the purpose of the corpse jade, but he was certain that it was definitely not simple.

"This Corpse Jade has absorbed the Yin energy and blood essence of corpses from the earth for many years. It is extremely Yin and poisonous. For ordinary people, it is a deadly poison that shortens their lifespan." However, what Yan Lingji did not say was that although this thing contains corpse poison, it can suppress hidden injuries and suppress the ice poison in the body of Baiyue Crown Prince Tianze.

Two years ago, Crown Prince Tianze was poisoned by Bai Yifei's methamphetamine and captured by Bai Yifei. This Corpse Jade can suppress the methamphetamine and rescue their Crown Prince.

However, their plans have now been thwarted by Bai Yi, and the most important Corpse Jade has fallen into the hands of the person in front of them, making it almost impossible to get it back.

Li Ji naturally didn't completely believe Yan Lingji's words, but the Corpse Jade was indeed useless to him, so he handed it over to the leader of Luo Wang along with the Fire Rain Agate.

Putting away the corpse jade, Li Ji glanced indifferently at the two people before him and said, "Yan Lingji, Hundred Poison King, do you know who I am?"

Yan Lingji and Bai Duwang exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison. They had become prisoners of this man, yet they didn't even know who he was. Their defeat was truly laughable.

Li Ji slowly uttered two words: "Net".

Both Yan Lingji and Bai Duwang were taken aback, and they finally understood where this madman came from.

"I've heard that the Net of Intrigue is spread throughout the seven kingdoms, and they even dare to kill nobles and powerful figures at will... Now it seems that their reputation is well-deserved." The King of Poisons coughed. The things that the other party had done in Nanyang these past few days were even more unscrupulous than those of them, the remnants of the Baiyue people.

Yan Lingji, however, didn't care about any of that. She asked, "What do you mean by telling us this?"

Li Ji looked at the two of them as if he were appraising some kind of merchandise: "No matter how good a weapon is, if it's not handy, it has to be destroyed."

He is now only one step away from becoming a top-tier assassin, and if he wants to take control of the Luo Wang organization in the future, he needs more "power".

He also needs more "weapons".

Yan Lingji is skilled in fire control and charm techniques, while Bai Du Wang is skilled in witchcraft and poison techniques. The two are exactly the "weapons" he needs.

Upon hearing Li Ji's words, the Hundred Poison King's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji leaned close to Li Ji's ear, gently blew a breath, and said, "Little brother, have you taken a liking to her? Lingji would be heartbroken if she knew, wouldn't she?"

A barely perceptible glint of killing intent flashed in Li Ji's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said slowly, "I'll give you two days to consider. In these two days, I hope you can understand your situation."

The reason it took two days was that it would take him two days to condense the two Yue Snake Life Gu.

The so-called Yue Snake Life Gu is one of the few Gu-making techniques in the Yue Snake Transformation Dragon Method.

It was created by using the essence of the Yue snake blood as a guide and the true energy of the Ming River.

This Yue Snake Life Gu can be implanted into the body of the target, controlling their life and death. However, the target needs to be nourished with Ming Shui True Qi once every three months, otherwise they will slowly die in the agony of being devoured by ten thousand snakes.

Two days later, regardless of whether the two agree or not, he will implant the Yue Snake Life Gu in them.

At that time, unless the two of them are not afraid of death, they will have no choice but to obey him.

Li Ji pushed Yan Lingji away, glanced back at Nanyang City, and then walked towards the outskirts of the city.

Now that the matter is settled, he can return to Luo Wang to report back.

But before that, there was one more thing he had to do.

It is related to Ling Ji.

He would not forget their promise: she would help him find the Holy Maiden Yan Lingji of Baiyue and the Corpse-Driving Demon's group, and he would take her and her brother away from Korea after the mission was accomplished.

Leaving South Korea was something that seemed incredibly simple to Li Ji.

But Ling Ji paid for it with her life.

Is it the fault of Yan Lingji and the Corpse-Driving Demon, who caused her to fall into the death row? Is it his fault? Lingji died for him. Or is it her brother's fault? She risked her life for him. Or is it the fault of the Baiyue Kingdom being destroyed, leaving the Baiyue people in a precarious situation?

Li Ji could no longer explain it clearly.

But he remembered what she had always been concerned about.

She took her brother away from South Korea.
