This night, Su Minglou was not sleepy at all.
Although he knew that this sudden thought in his mind was a fantasy, Su Minglou's subconscious kept asking himself.
"What if?"
After Su Minglou told Mr. Xuan about the incident, he thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he asked Mr. Xuan to investigate carefully the whereabouts of the entire Chu family, and even Chu Mengli, before Chu Tiankuo's birthday.
Su Minglou stayed up all night, and it was not until the sun rose the next day that Mr. Xuan slowly returned.
"how?"
Mr. Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I only found out that Chu Mengli, the concubine of the Chu family, suddenly showed up at Mr. Cao's residence one night."
"In addition, before Chu Tiankuo's birthday, Chu Tiankuo seemed to have given Chu Mengli a pill recipe..."
Su Minglou crossed his hands and kept twirling his thumbs.
This is a little habit of his. Whenever Su Minglou is concentrating on thinking, he always crosses his thumbs and rubs them.
After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still asked: "Mr. Xuan, is the news true?"
Mr. Xuan nodded, "It's absolutely true, someone has seen it with his own eyes."
Su Minglou breathed a sigh of relief, if so.
Then the context will be clear.
Before Chu Tiankuo passed his birthday, he personally gave Chu Mengli a pill formula. At this time, it was not difficult to see that this pill formula should be the one that could cure hidden diseases.
Then, Chu Mengli handed the elixir to Mr. Cao and asked him for such an immortal elixir.
In the end, Mr. Cao gave the elixir recipe to himself...
After figuring this out, the huge stone in Su Minglou's heart finally fell to the ground.
The previous thought was really too ridiculous, but now that I think about it, it is indeed because I didn't cultivate my mind enough, and I suddenly lost my sense of proportion.
He took a deep breath, today was the day to enter the Eternal Secret Realm, and he should prepare.
But I don’t know why, Su Minglou actually feels... a little... weird in his heart.
But he was forced to suppress it. The eternal secret realm in front of him was the most important thing.
——
On this trip to the Eternal Secret Realm, the Chu family sent many people.
At least half of the direct descendants of the Chu family were dispatched.
Luo Yi, Lu Xiu and Wei Qing also followed.
But obviously, the Chu family did not regard Luo Yi as one of their own, and they still kept a distance from him.
Although they no longer had the previous cynicism, they all treated him extremely coldly, like a stranger.
Luo Yi was naturally happy to do so.
Just after the group of them slowly left Tiansha City, the game of chess was completely settled.
In Shakian City, a stooped merchant slowly left the city carrying a heavy pole.
He looked far away in the direction where Luo Yi and his party disappeared...
At the same time, Chen Fengyu wore a black robe and walked toward the Eternal Secret Realm with an indifferent expression.
And within the eternal secret realm, there is already a wave of killers hiding here...
These killers come from Hidden Wind Tower.
And far behind Luo Yi and his group, there was a young man following.
He was jumping around, playing with a strange-looking short knife with a smile on his face...
It is about three days' journey from Shaking Tian City to the Eternal Secret Realm.
These three days have been peaceful.
Everyone in the Chu family arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Secret Realm. It was always extremely lonely here, but this time, it was quite lively.
After all, people from many families in Shaking Tian City have already come here.
There are even people from other families, and many of them have taken the lead in entering the Eternal Secret Realm.
Chu Tiankuo no longer hesitated, and with a wave of his hand, everyone in the Chu family dismounted and entered the eternal secret realm!
Chu Mengli was still a little hesitant: "There won't be any danger in this trip, right?"
"Let's go, enter the secret realm, just be careful."
With that said, Luo Yi stepped in.
Lu Xiu has been following Luo Yi, neither far nor close, only nine steps away.
Wei Qing followed Chu Mengli.
He holds a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand.
The map of the Chu family is slightly different from that of other families, so the routes marked on the map are naturally different.
Except for the first section of the road, you can often see people from other families. At the back, you can hardly see other people.
But along the way, I did find some herbs. Although they are not very valuable, this at least proves that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this map!
Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and led everyone in the Chu family to accelerate forward again.
Because there is a location marked on the map, which is probably where everyone is currently. If you walk forward for another day, you will reach a ruins!
There seems to be a treasure hidden in this ruins.
Luo Yi didn't talk much along the way and was always at the back of the team.
Except for Chu Mengli's few words to him, Luo Yi rarely took the initiative to speak.
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Chu Mengli asked.
"Huh?" He kept thinking about something in his mind, and when he heard Chu Mengli speak, he came to his senses belatedly.
Chu Mengli frowned, looked into Luo Yi's eyes and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Luo Yi smiled and said, "No, I'm just thinking about something."
Luo Yi raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was getting dark. There was a dense forest around him, and everyone was walking through the dense forest.
Luo Yi asked: "How far do we have to go?"
Chu Mengli said: "It is marked on the map that there is a bamboo forest not far ahead. It takes half a day's walk through the bamboo forest and you will be there."
"We decided to spend the night in the bamboo forest tonight and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
Luo Yi nodded.
Chu Mengli looked at Luo Yi and always felt that he was hiding something from her.
She asked again: "Since entering the Eternal Secret Realm, you rarely speak and have been silent. What are you thinking about?"
Luo Yi said casually: "It's nothing, just random thoughts, just to relieve boredom."
Hearing Luo Yi prevarication again, Chu Mengli rolled her eyes at Luo Yi, and then walked to the front of the team.
Lu Xiu came over at this time and walked side by side with Luo Yi.
"There is someone behind you."
Lu Xiu always spoke concisely and to the point.
Luo Yi nodded. He had discovered it a long time ago, but he never told Chu Mengli.
Luo Yi waved his hand and said softly: "Go and have a look."
Lu Xiu nodded, his pace gradually slowed down, and finally he completely separated from the Chu family team.
Wei Qing also came over at this time, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"
Luo Yi nodded and said: "Remember what I told you before, I will protect Chu Mengli and Lu Xiu all the way. You must not believe it, but you must not believe it completely."
"I will leave in the middle, and you should follow Chu Tiankuo. He is in the Fusion Realm after all."
Wei Qing nodded.
Soon, everyone reached the bamboo forest and started to set up camp.
Luo Yi still kept a distance from the Chu family's team. He sat there and closed his eyes to rest.
Wei Qing found some dry branches and built a bonfire.
At this moment, Lu Xiu slowly walked out from the darkness not far away.
Luo Yi opened his eyes and saw some blood on Lu Xiu's hands.
He sat next to the bonfire and said concisely: "Assassins, seven people, four casts, three star veins."
"The realm is too low." This was the first thought that came to Luo Yi's mind.
"These people are responsible for reconnaissance. To put it bluntly, they are all cannon fodder."
Luo Yi looked at the flames in front of him and said, "There will be others later. If something happens, I will leave alone."
Lu Xiu glanced at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi also turned to look at Lu Xiu, "I can handle it myself, you just need to ensure her safety."
Lu Xiu said expressionlessly: "I am your sword attendant, not her sword attendant."
Luo Yi said calmly: "So, you can't refuse my order."
Lu Xiu frowned, but didn't say anything else.
The night passed quickly.
To Luo Yi's surprise, the night was extremely quiet and nothing happened.
The next morning, the Chu family set off again.
If everything goes well, we can reach the ruins this afternoon.
There was excitement on everyone's face.
Only Luo Yi frowned slightly.
Last night was equivalent to a night of fishing for him.
On the surface, he was on guard, but in fact, he exposed several flaws inadvertently.
However, there was still no movement.
Luo Yi has been guessing who wrote these killers.
He also asked Lu Xiu if he could tell the truth about the people he killed.
But Lu Xiu just shook his head and said something that made Luo Yi feel a little solemn.
"Those people are not from the Tyrant Dynasty."
This made Luo Yi fall into deep thought.
Could it be that I missed something?
This day was still extremely smooth.
Almost in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
Not far away, the ruins are clearly visible.
It looks like an ancient battlefield.
Broken helmets and broken halberds were everywhere.
It’s just that it’s been too long, and many of them have been eroded by their beauty.
Chu Tiankuo's face was full of smiles, there was definitely a treasure here!
Luo Yi frowned at this time, something was wrong.
This journey has been so smooth. According to the map, reaching the ruins here is equivalent to reaching the outer edge of the secret realm.
Going forward, we are almost reaching the center.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't go so smoothly.
Luo Yi squatted down slightly, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
Then, his expression immediately darkened!
Chu Mengli was standing next to Luo Yi at the moment. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Yi said sternly: "Let the Chu family come back! Something is wrong here!"
"This ruins has been abandoned for many years. Logically speaking, the soil on the ground should be old soil."
"But I just took a look. The soil looks a little old, but it is moist."
"Someone has been here before, and the soil was dug up."
Luo Yi stood up suddenly and looked around with eyes like a hawk.
"This is not the old soil, this is the new soil!"
Wei Qing's expression changed, "No wonder the journey was so smooth, there wasn't even a strange beast! Someone got there faster than us, and someone has already been here..."
Wei Qing has been with Luo Yi for many years, and has participated in battles big and small.
Of course he knows what this means!
There might be an ambush here!
Lu Xiu's eyes also changed, and his right hand gently rested on the hilt of the sword.
Chu Mengli's expression also changed slightly. She didn't dare because she knew that Luo Yi was a famous young general in the Luo Dynasty.
I am very experienced in marching and fighting!
She quickly shouted to the excited Chu family members: "Don't go any further!! There is danger here!"
