February 15th, the third day after Lu Li left the Gu family.
In a guest room in the Wangfeng Tower in Beiyin City, a young man in blue robe who looked to be in his thirties sat and stood up. From time to time he walked to the window and looked at the street below, looking very anxious.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door. The young man in blue robe looked happy and ran towards the door in a few steps. However, when he came behind the door, he suddenly stopped and asked in a deep voice. Said: "Who!"
"It's me!" A slightly older voice came from outside the door.
The young man in blue robe heard the sound and quickly opened the door, "Master, please come here."
The person who came was an old man with a hooked nose wearing a dark golden robe. He looked like he was in his sixties and had some light wrinkles on his face. Hearing this, he glanced at the young man and walked to the table to sit down. , and then he said calmly, "What's the matter, are you in a hurry?"
The blue-robed young man followed and said respectfully with deep joy, "Master, there is news about the Sky-Shaking Hammer!"
"oh?"
The old man was shocked when he heard this, "So fast?!"
"Well, the disciple received a tip the day before yesterday that a man in white came out of the Gu Family Artifact Building and handed the Sky-Shaking Hammer to Gu Chungang. Gu Chungang also demonstrated it on the spot. It's absolutely unmistakable."
"Very good!"
The old man slapped the tabletop excitedly and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that someone in the Gu family can really refine the best magic weapon. My hard work is worth it."
The young man in blue robe said, "The man in white doesn't seem to be from the Gu family. It is said that he left the Gu family after refining. Maybe he was someone invited by the Gu family from outside."
"Not from the Gu family?" The old man frowned, "This is not easy to handle. Do you know where that person is going?"
The young man in blue robe suddenly showed an uneasy look when he heard this, "This... the informant was eager to report and did not follow the man's whereabouts. He only said that he was heading south of the city. I went out to search for him, but he didn't find anyone. That person."
"Bastard!" The old man was furious, "You actually let him run away. If this matter is leaked, there will be no place for you and me in this world!"
"This, this..." the young man in blue robe stammered, "Maybe, Gu Chun just met that person, we..."
"Well, that's all we can do now. Let's get the Skyshaker first. By the way, where is the informant?"
The blue-robed young man looked relieved, "Master, don't worry, I have already dealt with that person without leaving any traces!"
"What! When did you get rid of it?"
"The day before yesterday?"
"You bastard! Are you pretending to be shit? Three days ago, do you know what it means to scare the enemy away from the grass? Ah? If the Gu family realizes something is wrong and runs away with the Sky-Shaking Hammer, I will kill you!"
"Master, don't worry. That person was carefully selected by the disciples. He has no status in the Gu family. His presence or absence will have no impact at all. Even if he doesn't show up for a year, the Gu family will not have any impact. Influence."
Hearing what the young man in blue robe said, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, "You'd better pray that he's okay, otherwise, you know the consequences, and it will be a long night and a lot of dreams, so let's take action tonight."
"Yes, master."
The young man in blue robe bowed respectfully and asked tentatively, "Master, what are you going to do with that kid?"
The old man in golden robe snorted coldly, "You think I am a fool like you? Don't worry, that boy has been destroyed by my master, not even a hair is left."
"Early?" The young man in blue robe was startled, "Didn't the master say before that he would have to wait until the things are in hand..."
"Did you get the thing? That boy made a lot of noise all day, which made me very annoyed. I let him live for so long, which is an advantage for him. Besides, I never thought of trading him for the Sky-Shaking Hammer. It is better to die early than to die later... "
"..."
On the other side, Lu Li, who had been traveling for two days, was already more than 20,000 miles away from Beiyin City. This was certainly not his ultimate speed. If he used all his strength to drive the Nine-Turn Lotus Platform, he could reach up to three thousand miles in one hour.
However, in this case, it was possible that because he was too fast, Qian Ji would not be able to react in time, so Lu Li always kept his speed down.
At this time, he was in the jungle opposite a cliff, staring at an inconspicuous cave on the opposite cliff.
There is a large green bush growing in front of the cave. If you don't look carefully, you can't find that there is a cave behind the bush.
Of course, Lu Li was able to discover the cave not because he paid special attention to the cave, but because the Thousand Machine Guide in his hand emitted a weak light, and at the same time, the pointer pointed in the direction of the cliff.
Only then did Lu Li feel that Gu Tiechui was probably in this cave.
However, the light of Qian Ji Yin seemed to be too weak and was likely to dissipate at any time. This made Lu Li a little confused. Could it be that the other party was escaping?
Or is this cave very deep?
After staring at the cave and thinking for a while, Lu Li used the Nine-Turn Lotus Platform again and stepped on it. This place was only two or three miles away from the cave, and he did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness to scan, otherwise he would be in trouble.
After slowly approaching, Lu Li discovered that there were indeed traces of someone walking behind the bush. He immediately became extremely vigilant and carefully put away the lotus platform. He also used the Hidden Breathing Technique to block his cultivation, and then he sneaked close to the cliff. Touch the ground and look inside.
Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but be surprised.
Because this cave is too shallow, less than ten feet in total, you can see the head at a glance, and there is nothing inside except a simple stone bed.
However, it can be seen from the clean floor that someone has indeed lived here, and the cave is located halfway up the mountain, with a height of a hundred feet, and there are no roads to the left and right. If it is not a foundation-building monk, it is difficult to reach here easily.
Therefore, Lu Li deduced that foundation building masters must have lived here.
After checking carefully to make sure that no one was lying on the roof of the cave waiting for him to fall into a trap, Lu Li walked in cautiously.
At this time, the light that was about to disappear on Qianji Yin became slightly brighter again, which made Lu Li even more confused. Looking left and right along the way, Lu Li soon reached the end.
But at this moment, Lu Li's expression suddenly changed, "Not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately squatted down nervously.
It wasn't that there was an enemy attack, but he found that the color of the stone slabs on the ground was different from the outside. It looked like it had been burned by fire. Seeing that the light on Qianji Yin suddenly became a little brighter, Lu Li's expression suddenly changed. It looked ugly.
There is no doubt that Gu Tiezhui was killed!
He looked carefully at the traces of fire again, and finally saw a layer of scraped skin and a trace of dried blood on the edge of a thin stone crack, which must have been scraped out by Gu Tie's hammer when he struggled.
"He actually killed Gu Tiechui. Could it be that he doesn't want the Heaven-Shaking Hammer anymore? Or..." Lu Li frowned and thought deeply. After a moment, he was suddenly startled, took out the lotus platform and disappeared into the cave...
