And while Lu Li was practicing and waiting for darkness, Sihai City suddenly became a little uneasy.
A dozen figures hurriedly walked out of the Zhong family's mansion and ran towards the four-sided city wall!
Then, all the city gates closed with a bang!
The sudden scene made people inside and outside the city a little confused.
Not long after, a large number of Zhong family disciples took to the streets and placed photo beads in the center of major squares, projecting scenes of people flowing into the city.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of news that shocked everyone spread like wildfire: Zhong Yu, the son of the eldest son of the Zhong family, Zhong Qingyi, was killed! Anyone who can provide clues to the person who recorded the image bead will be rewarded with 300,000 medium-grade spiritual stones!
As soon as the news came out, everyone went crazy instantly. Three hundred thousand middle-grade spiritual stones! Just providing clues.
Some people didn't even know they were in the photo-bead scene, so they came to join in the fun.
While everyone was looking around, someone was recognized in an instant. Before these people could figure out the situation, they were caught by the Zhong family's masters and taken back to the Zhong family without any explanation.
"This person looks so familiar..."
Cao Mang had nothing to do and happened to come to the square next to Ziyun Tower. When he turned his eyes, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure emerging from the image on the left.
Then he frowned, thought for a moment, and left the square calmly.
Boom, boom, boom!
A rapid knock on the door sounded outside Lu Li's room.
When Lu Li left the door and took a look, he found that it was a middle-aged man he didn't recognize. The man was wearing a blue uniform and was almost the same as the guard beside Zhong Yu before.
He couldn't help but frowned and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing Lu Li, the man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, bowed slightly and said, "Senior, our Zhong family invites you."
"Zhong's family? Sorry, I don't have time." Lu Li said expressionlessly and prepared to close the door.
"Senior, wait!"
The middle-aged man saw this and said quickly: "Something happened to our Zhong family. In order to eliminate suspicion, senior should follow me. Otherwise, it will be bad if there is a misunderstanding."
"Hmph! The Zhong family is great, get out!"
As Lu Li spoke, his whole body surged with momentum. The middle-aged man instantly flew backwards several feet away and landed on the corridor with a loud thud, vomiting blood and saying, "If you bother me again, I'll kill you!"
"Yes Yes Yes..."
The middle-aged guard was so horrified that he rolled and crawled away from the fifth floor in panic.
"How friendly you are."
Just when Lu Li was about to return to his room, an old voice suddenly sounded from the end of the passage.
Lu Li turned his head and saw that it was the old man who was talking to Lanqun Muyu before. He couldn't help but frowned and said calmly: "Fellow Taoist is not bad either."
"How about we chat?"
"Not interested in."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he walked directly back to the room and closed the door with a bang without giving the other party a chance to say anything more.
The old man in Taoist robes narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something interesting, and suddenly showed a playful smile, and then walked towards the door of Lu Li's room.
Immediately afterwards, there was another knock on the door.
"What do you want to do, fellow Taoist!"
Seeing that it was the old man in Taoist robes again, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was not familiar with this person, but this person was holding on to him. It was obvious that he had an agenda.
At this sensitive moment, he didn't want to offend these irrelevant people.
The old man in Taoist robes was not angry. He turned his little eyes slightly and said, "That Zhong Yu was killed by you, Taoist friend."
"Fellow Taoist, you must be here to cause trouble." Lu Li said with a serious look on his face.
"Ahem, I don't like hearing what my fellow Taoist said. I really mean well. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It just so happens that I don't want to deal with the Zhong family. If you and I join forces, big things will happen. Really?" After the old man in Taoist robes finished speaking, he looked at Lu Li quietly.
Someone who doesn’t deal with the Zhong family?
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but think, but he still said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency has found the wrong person. I have nothing to do with the Zhong family. The action I took just now was just to punish that person for his rude words."
"haha, really."
The old man smiled noncommittally, "I heard that Zhong Yu likes to keep pets, and he also has a very rare spirit tracking dog. Do you know about this, fellow Taoist?"
"I never care about other people's business." Seeing that this person refused to leave, Lu Li sat down at the table without greeting him, wanting to see what this person was like.
The old man in Taoist robes did not see anyone outside. When he saw this, he waved his hand and closed the door. He sat down opposite Lu Li very familiarly and said with a faint smile:
"Speaking of which, this tracking dog is really good. Not only is it particularly sensitive to elixirs, but... it can easily tell who has come into contact with its owner just by smelling it with its nose..."
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged:
"So what? If you think that I killed Zhong Yu and want to blackmail you, then you are probably looking for the wrong person. I can tell you very clearly that Zhong Yu's death has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with you! Also, you and I have never met each other. If you have nothing else to do, please come back. I am going to practice..."
Hearing this, the old man in Taoist robes finally put away his smile and stared at Lu Li in silence for a moment: "Fellow Taoist, do you really have no grudges against the Zhong family?"
Lu Li didn't even respond.
Seeing this, the old man in Taoist robes couldn't help but frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have an opportunity here, but it's not very safe if I take it alone. If fellow Taoist is willing to help me, I will share this opportunity with you, fellow Taoist." how?"
Finally couldn't hold it any longer?
Lu Li sneered secretly and said sarcastically: "Wouldn't it be better if I said this earlier? Why bother beating around the bush to try to influence me?"
The old man in Taoist robes looked embarrassed: "Ahem, it's my fault. I apologize to fellow Taoist here, but you..."
"Let's talk about it first."
"It's no problem, but this opportunity is very important. I hope fellow Taoist you won't leak the news to others after you get the news. Is that no problem?" the old man in Taoist robes said solemnly.
"Don't worry, even if I can't help you, I won't reveal this information to anyone else." Seeing the solemn look on the other party's face, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little interested.
Doesn't the path of spiritual practice depend on chance? No one will be indifferent to chance. It just depends on whether they have the ability to get it.
Seeing what Lu Li said, the old man in Taoist robes stopped trying to be too pretentious and said bluntly:
"Actually, this opportunity is related to one of my disciples. Her family ancestors left behind a unique treasure, but for some reason, the place where the treasure was hidden has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
If you, fellow Taoist, are willing to join hands with me to retrieve the treasure, I will take the initiative and give 30% of the treasure to fellow Taoist as a reward. How about that? "
