Chapter 359: The True Identity of the Legendary Witch Lich
Li Wei looked at Savinia.
He averted his gaze, looking down at the table before him.
Li Wei shook his head and said, "You overestimate me. Since the Goddess’s Tears are kept in the Saint Hall of Light, how could I possibly have the ability to get them?"
"Your information is as good as useless."
Savinia gave a cunning smile.
"Hehe, I came to find you because I naturally have a way to obtain the Goddess’s Tears."
"Oh, is that so?" Li Wei said nonchalantly.
Savinia looked at Li Wei and demanded, "You don’t believe me?"
Li Wei remained silent.
He was contemplating something deeper.
’Is the Legendary Witch Lich really using me to gather the materials needed for the Reincarnation of the Impure World?’
’If that’s the case, then I really can’t take this drop of the Goddess’s Tears.’
When Savinia saw that Li Wei wasn’t answering,
she huffed in annoyance. "Hmph!"
"Don’t you have the most potent poison in the world? Give it to me, and I’ll release it in Storm City. When that happens, the Light Divine Sect will definitely have to bring out the Goddess’s Tears to deal with it."
After Savinia finished speaking, she noticed Li Wei was staring at her, his eyes ice-cold.
His gaze was like ten-thousand-year-old ice.
"What are you doing?" Savinia trembled and asked hastily.
The coldness in Li Wei’s eyes dissipated, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
’So, things are still heading in that direction after all.’
Li Wei had collected many clues.
And all of them pointed to an unacceptable conclusion.
Torresta was the Legendary Witch Lich.
The Legendary Witch Lich was Torresta’s true form.
Torresta was the one who had sent him to retrieve the Poison Dragon Pouch.
’So why would Savinia, thousands of miles away, know about this?’
Connecting this with the previous clues, Li Wei confirmed the suspicion in his heart.
There was plenty of other evidence.
Torresta was a Dream Weaver, and so was the Legendary Witch Lich.
The Golden Bone Ring and the True Dharma Ring were clearly from the same source.
The Legendary Witch Lich’s attitude toward him had always been strange, not at all like that of an enemy.
Although Li Wei had long suspected it, he still found it hard to accept now that he truly knew.
He leaned back in his chair, feeling powerless.
He stared blankly at the ceiling.
He didn’t know if Torresta sending him to the Elemental Tower was also part of the plan.
’Probably.’
After learning the truth,
Li Wei had the illusion of being a marionette in Torresta’s hands.
His every move was within Torresta’s predictions and control.
The feeling was incredibly unsettling.
Watching Li Wei, Savinia began to feel restless.
She felt that Li Wei was like a volcano, silent but on the verge of erupting.
The calm before the storm.
She sat in her chair, not daring to make a sound or to rush Li Wei into accepting the plan.
After a long time, Li Wei looked at her again.
He said, "Leave. I won’t agree to this."
Unleashing the Poison Dragon Pouch’s toxins in Storm City might force the Light Divine Sect to use the Goddess’s Tears as an antidote.
But it would kill countless people.
Li Wei was not the kind of person who was ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals.
Seeing this, Savinia stood up and sighed.
"Just as I expected. You’re exactly as the master described."
"However, whether you do it or not is not up to you," Savinia said.
Li Wei’s eyes narrowed, and he stared daggers at her.
"What do you mean?"
Savinia smiled slyly. "You’ll find out soon enough."
Li Wei frowned and moved to grab Savinia, intending to force the answer out of her.
Savinia’s figure vanished directly into the dream.
Li Wei snapped his gaze to the area outside the Dream Bubble.
He searched for any trace of the Legendary Witch Lich.
There was nothing.
If he didn’t want to be found, only another Dream Weaver of the same level could find him.
Li Wei looked at his Great Dream Traveling Skill.
[Great Dream Traveling Skill (Tier Three)] 3245/10000
It had been a long time since the Great Dream Traveling Skill had been upgraded.
A sense of urgency grew in Li Wei’s heart.
’To fight a Dream Weaver, I must have the Power of a Dream Weaver.’
The Great Dream Traveling Skill was his only hope.
But before that, Li Wei exited the Dream World.
He returned to the real world.
Li Wei quickly checked his Spatial Ring and discovered that the box containing the Poison Dragon Pouch was gone.
His pupils contracted sharply.
"How did he do it?"
Li Wei scanned his surroundings but found no trace of anyone.
He understood.
Savinia had come to him merely as a cover for the person who stole the Poison Dragon Pouch.
Li Wei couldn’t understand how that person had managed it.
First, he was in the Celestial Realm.
This was one of the safest places in the Elemental Tower.
Back when the Undead were attacking the Floating City, the Purple Level Class students in the Celestial Realm could still focus on their Cultivation, ignoring the outside world.
Furthermore, the entrance and exit to the Celestial Realm were inside the Elemental Tower.
Even the Legendary Witch Lich couldn’t possibly slip past everyone in the Elemental Tower to enter the Celestial Realm unnoticed.
Unless... that person was a student of the Purple Level Class.
Second, he had placed a special spiritual lock on his Spatial Ring.
It was like an encrypted safe.
No one could break the spiritual lock he had left without shattering the safe itself.
If anyone had tampered with the spiritual lock, Li Wei would have definitely sensed it.
But he had felt nothing.
The item inside his Spatial Ring had vanished into thin air.
Besides, he was in a private space within the Magic Hall.
Anyone who wanted to enter his room needed his permission; otherwise, it would directly trigger the Magic Hall’s alarm system in the Celestial Realm.
And yet, none of that had happened.
Li Wei was utterly bewildered.
After the confusion came a wave of fear and worry.
If the Poison Dragon Pouch really did end up killing countless people in Storm City, then he would be inextricably linked to the matter.
He was the one who had brought the Poison Dragon Pouch to the Elemental Tower.
Even if it was stolen, he still bore responsibility.
Li Wei didn’t want something like that to happen.
A single thought surged through his mind.
’I have to stop Savinia from poisoning Storm City!’
’Otherwise, I’ll live with a guilty conscience for the rest of my life.’
BAM!
Li Wei slammed his fist into the wall, leaving a deep dent.
"Dammit! I sensed something was wrong long ago, why didn’t I react sooner?!"
Li Wei regretted listening to Torresta and bringing the Poison Dragon Pouch to the Elemental Tower.
After a moment of self-recrimination,
Li Wei sprang into action.
He left the Elemental Tower and used a Teleportation Array to head for Storm City.
He needed to find Lancelot, the Grand Archbishop of the Divine Hall of Light in Storm City.
When Li Wei arrived in Storm City via the Teleportation Array,
he found it under attack by the Undead.
Only then did he remember that Storm City had been in a state of war for over a month.
The war had been going on for quite some time.
Li Wei had just appeared on the Teleportation Array.
when a massive Arrow Rain descended from the sky.
It was a mix of iron arrows from Storm City’s defenders and Bone Arrows from the Undead Archers.
These arrows weren’t aimed at him.
Li Wei was just caught in the crossfire.
He paid them no mind; things like these couldn’t hurt him.
Li Wei quickly reached the base of the city walls.
Storm City had already activated its City Defense Magic Array, making it impossible to fly directly over the walls.
Li Wei saw a squad that had been out fighting the Undead returning to the city, and he quickly fell in behind them.
