As Kong Rui listened to that person’s description, she felt that Stone’s situation was somewhat similar to that of the second elder of the Li family back then.

However, the Li family’s ancestral hall had already been destroyed by her. Where did Stone absorb the spiritual energy to extend his lifespan?

The more Kong Rui thought about it, the more baffled she felt. Suddenly, she heard someone exclaim, “Look! What’s that?!”

Kong Rui looked in the direction the person was pointing in and saw black-red liquid gradually seeping out of Stone’s body.

Something seemed to be squirming in the liquid, and it looked even more terrifying in the foul-smelling liquid.

At this moment, the old man had already arrived beside Stone to check on him.

The old man raised Stone’s arm and checked it for a while before saying to Xiao Jiao, “Send him to the second floor!”

With that, the old man turned to Kong Rui and said, “Come up with me!”

Kong Rui nodded and followed without hesitation.

Since it was related to the Li family and this person’s situation was strange, she wanted to investigate.

When the two of them arrived at the second floor, the old man instructed Xiao Jiao and the others to leave.

After closing the door, the old man said to Kong Rui, “Girl, this person’s injuries are very creepy. Come and take a look.”

The old man didn’t avoid Kong Rui.

Kong Rui knew that the old man trusted her, and this matter probably had something to do with her.

Kong Rui went forward to look at the place the old man was pointing at and saw a strange wound.

Kong Rui frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn’t think of what had injured him.

Seeing that Kong Rui didn’t say anything, the old man said, “This injury was caused by a spirit beast.”

“Moreover, it’s an ancient spirit beast, the Phoenix!”

Kong Rui’s eyes widened when she heard this and she looked at the wound again.

The wound was neat but deep to the bone. If one didn’t have some knowledge, one would probably think that it was caused by a heavy sword.

However, the flesh inside the wound was exposed, and there seemed to be traces of a hook-shaped structure.

The old man looked at Kong Rui inquiringly.

Kong Rui narrowed her eyes slightly and said after a while, “How did you know that this was caused by a phoenix? Could it be that you’ve seen a phoenix?”

The old man smiled. “1 didn’t have the chance to see the phoenix, but I know that a phoenix has appeared in the imperial capital.”

“This Phoenix appeared in the Imperial City. Although its whereabouts are unknown, it was probably taken away by the royal family.”

“After all, only the former princess was able to give birth to phoenix essence!”

When she heard the old man’s words, Kong Rui’s expression didn’t change at all, but the nails of one hand were already dug into her palm.

The old man didn’t look at Kong Rui’s reaction anymore. He only looked at the other wounds on that person’s body and said, “The injuries on this person’s body are strange to begin with. He’s also from the Li family. With the relationship between the Li family and the royal family, it’s not surprising that he saw that Phoenix.”

“However, it’s a little strange why he was injured by the Phoenix.”

“Look at this wound. It’s been a few days, but it doesn’t seem to have been infected at the same time as the creepy aura on his body.”

Kong Rui recalled what the insider had just said and immediately asked, “Mentor, do you mean that this person was injured by the Phoenix after being tainted by the creepy aura?”

As Kong Rui spoke, her eyes flickered.

In other words, this person had been injured by the little Phoenix recently!

He had seen the little Phoenix!

Seeing Kong Rui’s anxious expression, the old man continued, “I’m just guessing. Let me try to wake this kid up. It’s best if you ask him in person!”

Kong Rui looked at the old man, her eyes filled with anxiety. “Can we wake him up? Didn’t that person just say that he has been out of his mind for a long time?”

The old man, on the other hand, looked smug.. He shook his head and said, “I don’t have any other abilities, but it’s not difficult to clear one’s mind!”
