In the Celestial Star Sect Great Assembly Hall, Seat and the other two were in the middle of a discussion, when a disciple came to report that the Gu Family Merchant Group had delivered a batch of food.

Didn't they just deliver it three days ago? Who sent them?

Returning to the Seat, not our people but the people who sent the food over, saying that they sent the wrong food last time and mistook the ordinary food sold to the poor for high quality food to be delivered here, this time to exchange.

Initially, the three Seat s were not required to handle small matters like buying grains for the day. However, due to the recent special period, the three Seat s were required to report to them no matter what happened, regardless of size.

As a result, as soon as the caravan entered the Skypiercing Mountain, Barrier immediately informed the disciples of their origins. The disciples of the guarding mountain immediately came to report to the three of them.

Let them change, then, said another voice, but let them be followed along the way, and do not let them wander about.

Yes.

After the Mountain Guarding disciple left, the left Seat spoke out: "Coming over at this time to exchange food, I don't think it's that simple. Why don't you ask more about the situation?"

There was nothing to ask, they had already entered the Barrier. Even if there was something deceptive about it, it was already too late to stop them.

The left Seat nodded his head and said: "The words of the upper class make sense. Who do you think is playing tricks this time? Could it be Fenggu Zhengyun?

Fenggu Zhengyun did not have much contact with the Gu family. There was only one person who could get them to help.

Right Seat nodded his head: "I also heard from the rest of the kids that the Gu family's daughter and Li Qingniu have some sort of relationship, and among the disciples that have recently left the Heavenly Star Mountain, there are only Fenggu Zhengyun and Li Qingniu.

Seat Zuo smiled and said, "Don't forget, there's still one more Yun Tian."

Him? Hmph, how could a stray dog have the guts to come back? The left Seat said noncommittally.

Upper Seat thought for a moment, then said: "If it was Li Qingniu who came, we would have to be more careful. I heard that his strength has long surpassed Fenggu Zhengyun."

Seat Zuo laughed, "What need is there for you to have the will of others to sit at your place?" No matter how strong he is, he's just an expert in the way of Starry Sky Level. If one can't control him, then there's two of them. If two can't control him, there's three of them. If three can't, then we can use ten.

Right Seat said: I agree that it's better to be careful, I heard that Li Qingniu has many martial spirits in his body, although they are not fully developed, but he seems to have other special abilities, and many of them came from the top ten strongest, so it's very difficult to measure his true strength.

The upper class nodded his head: That's exactly the case, immediately send more people to watch Ling Yun, since he is willing to come back and wade through this muddy water, he would definitely not ignore the safety of my Master.

After Li Qingniu followed the food delivery team into the Celestial Star Sect place to store the food, while the surveillance personnel were at the entrance to guard the place, he opened one of the bags of food he had just delivered, and immediately a person came out. This person's figure, height, build, clothes, and figure were all extremely similar to the current Li Qingniu.

The two of them nodded at each other, then Li Qingniu climbed onto the roof. Very quickly, the group of people finished exchanging their food, and left the Heavenly Star Mountain with their food.

Oh? Did you guys see it clearly? They really didn't do anything, just changed the food and left? After hearing the report from the person in charge of surveillance, the left Seat frowned and said.

Reporting to Seat, from the moment they entered the mountain to the moment they left, our men had been keeping a close watch on them.

Right Seat said: Did the number of people who came before compare with the number you left behind?

We confirmed the number several times. There were thirteen people when we came back, and thirteen when we went back. There was no problem.

Alright, you guys go down first. If anything else happens, report back quickly.

Yes, disciple will take his leave.

Seat Zuo frowned and asked: Were we overthinking it? Were they just here to exchange for food?

At a critical moment, be careful. Let's not let our guard down.

Li Qingniu sneaked out of the room that contained the food, using a movement skill that was lightning fast, avoiding all eyes and ears, and sneaked into the Lingyun Hall.

The inside of the Lingyun Hall was cold and cheerless. On top of the originally unending stream of people training their Martial Ground, there were only two to three disciples that Li Qingniu had never seen guarding it before.

There were also few people walking around in the backyard. However, there were more people standing guard in front of the gate. There were one or two people standing guard outside every room.

Suddenly, the sound of a zither began to sound out, and it entered into the ears of the crowd. They looked around, but after half a day, they still didn't know where the sound of the zither came from.

On the other hand, Li Qingniu borrowed the sound of the zither and without anyone noticing, entered Murong Lanyu's room.

Inside the room, Murong Lanyu was looking at a portrait and sighing, as though she was trying to pour out her worries.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps from behind, Murong Lanyu suddenly turned around, when she saw that it was Li Qingniu, her eyes immediately filled with tears, almost shouting out loud, Li Qingniu immediately made a hand gesture to keep quiet.

She then suppressed the happiness in her heart, laughed and lowered her voice: "Brother Li, how did you come back?" The people outside didn't stop you? Oh right, they can't stop you at all, it's good enough that Brother Li is back. Due to her excitement, she had already begun to speak incoherently.

Li Qingniu explained the process of Fenggu Zhengyun finding him, as well as the purpose of this trip, and asked Murong Lanyu about the location of the Master.

Upon mentioning the Master, Murong Lanyu couldn't help but sigh: "It's all because of us, if not for us, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the Master. After sobbing twice, she continued, "After the Master was taken away by them, we were locked inside our rooms, and were not allowed to go out. We were completely unable to find out anything about the Master.

Then do you know where Miss Gu is locked up? Li Qingniu continued to ask.

Elder Sister Ruo Qing? Is she also in Heavenly Star Mountain? I don't know, why is she here? If Big Sister Qing Qing wasn't someone from the Celestial Star Sect, they wouldn't have had any reason to capture her.

Li Qingniu knew that the meeting hall must have ordered for all their information to be sealed, so he couldn't get anything out of them. Thus, he patted his shoulder and said: Don't worry, I will make everyone safe.

With that, Li Qingniu's body flashed, and disappeared from the room. At the same time, the melodious zither music sounded once again, and floated in the Lingyun Hall backyard.

Everyone who could not find the source of the zither's sound could only send someone to report to the three Seat s about this matter.

If there was any disturbance on the mountain, they would have to inform the council chamber. Before this, there were already people who were severely punished for being negligent. They did not want to be punished again because of the sound of a zither.

The sound of a zither? Did Li Qingniu know how to play the zither? Seat asked doubtfully.

Right Seat shook his head. "I don't know, I've never heard of him, but if it really was him, he should have thought of a way to hide his presence.

Maybe he wanted to attack from the east and attack from the west, so he set up some kind of strange array. No matter what, send people to keep a close eye on Lingyun Hall, I'll see what else he can do.

Yes.

Right Seat thought for a moment, then said: I think it's still necessary to send Kong Qiang and Bao Qing down the mountain.

Well, do as you say.

Li Qingniu walked around the Celestial Star Sect for a long time, and practically went through every single place he knew, but he still could not find any place that held Elder Ling Yun and Gu Ruoqing.

Master, we can go to the pantry and wait. The Mr. Jian said.

The kitchen? Yes, as long as the people who brought them food can find a place to imprison them, but … Nine Halls are separated, and normally only the people in their own kitchen go to the grain depot to gather food, then come back to cook. How do we know which place is in charge of bringing them food?

The Mr. Jian chuckled: Definitely not at the Nine Halls, but at the Grand Hall. Otherwise, they would never be at ease no matter who it was handed over to.

Li Qingniu felt that the Mr. Jian's analysis was reasonable, so he followed his guidance and sneaked into the vicinity of the General Hall kitchen to observe.

As noon approached, the fragrance of food drifted in the air. Not long after, a disciple came out of the kitchen with a big box in his hand.

Just as Li Qingniu was about to move, Mr. Jian said: Master, wait a moment, it shouldn't be this.

Sure enough, not even a moment later, another person walked out carrying a small, half-empty, and somewhat shabby looking food box.

The previous box was large and gorgeous, and the fragrance that drifted out was also very rich, so it was unlikely that it was given to the prisoners to eat. This was much simpler, the vegetables and rice buns along with two bowls of porridge must have been sent to them.

How do you know what's in it?

Hehe, I just got my soul out of my body and sent it into the food box to have a look.

You never said it could be like this before? Li Qingniu rolled his eyes and said.

Mr. Jian laughed: Hehe, all of the problems previously could be easily solved with master's power. Only by relying more on yourself would master be able to improve faster. Master, it's better to follow them quickly so that they don't get lost later on.

Li Qingniu knew what prioritization was, so he did not pursue the matter any further and lightly leapt behind that person.

After passing through a long corridor, passing through a winding mountain path and turning several corners, the man entered a stone room that was tightly guarded from the front and back.

In the surroundings of the stone room, within one could see, there were at least thirty over Fighter s on standby.

Furthermore, from the auras they gave off as well as their gazes and auras as they stood there, it was obvious that none of them were ordinary people. The lowest should be at least at the fifth level of Star-moon or above.
