Mu Ziyu's description of Ye Qingshuang was full of regret.

When Ye Qingshuang first entered Zhenwu Academy a year ago, she was deeply impressed.

Afterwards, she learned from her master that Teacher Xu Yun had been killed, and that almost all of Ye Qingshuang's elders were gone. She had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers by herself, and came to Zhenwu Academy only after suffering so much.

Later, her beauty and talent quickly amazed the entire Zhenwu Academy. She was supposed to be a star among the stars, but she didn't expect to be targeted by many young masters from aristocratic families because of her lack of background.

Those young masters believed that she was from a poor country, so they must be very easy to deal with, and they showed their courtesy frequently.

Under normal circumstances, a little girl from a barbaric land would easily lose herself in the huge bustling, but she didn't.

She refused the attention of any male students, and even did not hesitate to offend the forces behind them, and devoted herself to cultivation.

Her cultivation was far more arduous than those of her peers. In just one year, she entered the inner courtyard with far less cultivation resources than the children of other aristocratic families.

Mu Ziyu has always admired her very much, so even if she is cold, he usually takes good care of her.

Who would have imagined that this time she was injured so seriously, but the master said that she might have died just a little bit.

She fled back to Zhenwu Academy by herself, and she collapsed as soon as she reached the entrance of the academy. Her body was covered in injuries, which made people gasp.

How ruthless a person is, and what reason does she have to put her to death?

"Aside from talking about her master, she didn't say anything else?"

Gu Chen asked.

Tao Yu and Ye Qingshuang are like mother and daughter. It is not unusual for her to subconsciously call her when she is unconscious, but this is not what he wants to know.

"Yes, there is a word she calls out more times than calling her master, but none of us understand what it means."

Mu Ziyu replied.

"Which word?"

"It seems to be... an isolated city?"

Mu Ziyu said uncertainly.

There was a ripple in Gu Chen's heart, and he looked at Ye Qingshuang in surprise for a moment.

"Gucheng Gucheng, what do you mean by her? Does this have something to do with the murderer?"

Mu Ziyu muttered.

Gu Chen didn't respond, and stepped forward to grab Ye Qingshuang's hand, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into her body.

I don't know how many meridians in her body were broken, and even viscera were obviously damaged.

He found some residual alien energy in her meridians, with neutral attributes, not cold or negative.

"It's not like what the killers of Hades Palace..."

Gu Chen murmured in his heart, he had already guessed who the person who attacked Ye Qingshuang was, but the result still puzzled him.

He has dealt with the killers of Hades Palace, most of their practices are dark and negative, and the symptoms of the injured people are somewhat different from those of Ye Qingshuang.

Most importantly, Ye Qingshuang came back alive, a killer who is proficient in killing, shouldn't make such a big mistake.

"So, what is your relationship with Hades Palace?"

Gu Chen murmured, put down Ye Qingshuang's hand, turned and left.

"Hey, have you found any clues?"

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, Mu Ziyu asked angrily.

"No, I can't see anything either!"

Gu Chen spoke concisely, and Mu Ziyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"This little bastard, you fooled me before you dared to love!"

...

Gu Chen returned to the Shuzang building, and he almost understood the whole thing in his heart.

Now that Ye Qingshuang was attacked, it meant that the other party couldn't hold back anymore, and he believed that he would become a target soon.

Right now, waiting is the best option.

"Little guy, from now on you are hiding in the dark, and my wealth and life will be handed over to you."

Gu Chen said to Bai Yuan, and handed over a storage ring to it.

The white ape blinked and gestured a few times.

"It's not clear whether Jiang Yige is dead or alive. It's too early to report to Heaven. Besides, he knows about Ba Gu. If he is still alive, I hope I will be the first person to contact him."

Gu Chen understood what it meant and replied.

The white ape was thoughtful, didn't say any more, put the storage ring on his hand, and then disappeared in place in a blink of an eye.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, stayed quietly in the book building, as if nothing had happened.

At night, someone came to the door.

"Chen Zhun Daozi, we have found new clues about Jiang Daozi!"

It was Zhu Yilun who came, and he said excitedly as soon as they met.

"Oh? What clue?"

Gu Chen's expression perked up.

"My Heavenly Court Killer found a broken magic weapon in the Great Flame Mountain, twenty miles east of Zhenwu Academy. After identification, it was the Qiqiao Tongyou Pagoda that Jiang Daozi once used!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and handed over a magic weapon in the shape of a broken small tower!

Gu Chen took a look, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sure enough, it's the Seven-Aperture Tongyou Pagoda. Where did you find it? Lead the way!"

He said immediately, looking excited and eager.

"Obey!"

Zhu Yilun lowered his head and said, a hint of teasing flashed in the depths of his eyes.

So he led Gu Chen, left Zhenwu Academy, and flew to the Great Flame Mountain twenty miles away.

Twenty miles was very short for the two monks, and they arrived in a short while.

The Great Flame Mountain was densely forested, Zhu Yilun led Gu Chen around the mountain for a while, and then entered a secluded valley.

"The Seven-Aperture Tongyou Pagoda was discovered here?"

Gu Chen stepped into the valley unhurriedly, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"no."

Zhu Yilun, who had been very respectful before, suddenly straightened up, and his tone became indifferent.

"No? If not, what did you bring me here? Don't you know I'm busy?"

Gu Chen was immediately displeased.

"People are dying, what else is there to be busy with?"

At this time, a handsome young man came out from the depths of the valley with a gloomy tone.

"He Fangzheng?"

Gu Chen looked at him with a look of surprise. "Why are you here? Could it be that you..."

He looked at Zhu Yilun in shock, his expression changed several times.

"Yes, you know too late, idiot!"

Zhu Yilun suddenly blocked the way out of the valley, his smile became ferocious.

"Throw out Sun Jinming at will to fool you, but you really believed it unexpectedly, and gave us a few more days to arrange."

"Do you know that when you suddenly appeared in the Izumo Tower, it really scared me into a cold sweat."

Gu Chen's expression became ugly, and he asked.

"You spy, it seems that Jiang Yige's disappearance has something to do with you! Are you not afraid of severe punishment from the Heavenly Court?"

"So what? You know too late!"

Zhu Yilun tore off the disguise and sneered. "Ye Qingshuang is already half-dead, you go die too, in that case, Heavenly Court will never know the truth, why would you trouble me?"

"Ye Qingshuang was originally harmed by you, so here..."

Gu Chen looked around nervously.

"This is where you will be buried!"

He Fangzheng said indifferently, and raised his hand.

Hum——

On the ground of the valley, formations of formations surfaced for a moment, forming a huge killing formation in a blink of an eye, besieging Gu Chen in the middle!
