Gao Fei returned to Shicheng and asked around, but none of them knew the exact location of the mining area and shook their heads.
"Young man, it is said that the place has been occupied by the people of Heifeng Village. Even the Xuanwu family has nothing to do with them. You must not cause more trouble, lest you invite death." An old man with white beard and hair advised Gao Fei. .
"Of course I won't provoke the strong men of Heifeng Village. I just want to find my mining relative and hope he is still alive." Gao Fei kept sighing, forced out a grimace, and shook his head.
"Well, you go to the slums in the east of the city and ask where most of the Li family's miners come from." The old man pondered for a moment, raised his hand and pointed in one direction.
Gao Fei was overjoyed and knew that he would definitely gain something this time. After bidding farewell to the old man, he strode towards the east side of the city.
After a while, Gao Fei found an old miner in a dilapidated house in the east of the city. He was about fifty years old. Maybe it was due to years of mining. The skin all over his body was dark and wrinkled.
"You want to know the location of the mining area?" The old miner squinted his eyes, and his eyeballs looked very cloudy. This was caused by not seeing light for many years.
"Yes, I want to go to the Li family's mining area. I wonder if it would be convenient for senior to tell me the exact location?" Gao Fei took out more than a dozen medium-grade spiritual crystals and put them in his hand, and said softly.
"No need, I don't know the exact location of the mining area at all." The old man was frightened and quickly pushed the spiritual crystal back.
"What's going on? You are all miners who have been evacuated from the mining area. Why don't you know the exact location of the mining area?" Gao Fei frowned, but he didn't expect that even the gift could not be used?
"Evacuate?" The old man suddenly trembled all over, with a look of horror on his face and a trembling tone in his voice, saying: "We really don't know the exact location of the mining area. You'd better ask the Li family to find out. Only they know. "
"What's going on? What happened?" Seeing the old man's state, Gao Fei became even more confused.
"Because the miners were blindfolded and escorted in by members of the Li family, my grandfather really didn't know the location."
At this moment, a thin, slender young man walked in and looked at Gao Fei warily. His face was sallow and his blood was not abundant. It was obviously caused by malnutrition due to long-term lack of food.
It's just that he put on a guarded look, which made Gao Fei feel weird. It seemed like he didn't show any murderous intention, right?
"Are all miners the same?" Gao Fei looked at the young man slightly, but there was nothing special about him.
"It's all the same. Please go find someone from the Li family and ask." The young man didn't want to say more, but his tone of caution only grew stronger.
Gao Fei asked for the location of the Li family and left twenty spiritual crystals. He walked out of this dilapidated house with air leakage everywhere. For some reason, a dark cloud fell over his heart.
"Did you sense anything?" Gao Fei was very confused. He had great mental power, but he didn't find anything special.
"There is a feeling that I can see something. It's very faint, and ordinary Xuanwu practitioners can't sense it at all." The skeleton responded in a deep voice.
But even if it was a skeleton, she couldn't tell what it was. She could not detect anything except for dilapidated houses and piles of garbage everywhere. No.
Gao Fei searched many places in succession, and when he left the east side of the city, his doubts became more and more serious.
"How could this happen? So far, not one of the 200 miners who entered the mining area has come back." Gao Fei said coldly.
"Perhaps the mining area is still being excavated. Let's go to the Li family to have a look. According to my guess, the Li family must have discovered something in advance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escort the miners in blindfolded, not wanting others to know the location of the mining area."
Skeleton said.
The Li family is less than two miles away from Shicheng. It occupies a very large area and is built on the back of a mountain. There is a natural lake less than 300 meters in front of it. The environment is pleasant. Before the bandits came, the Li family was the only one in Shicheng.
Xuanwu family.
When Gao Fei arrived here, he found that the entire Li family had been destroyed, and all the buildings within a mile were reduced to rubble.
All the corpses here have been carried away. Only the blood stains left among the rubble of the collapsed houses have been dried, which makes people feel that a massacre has occurred here, and everyone, old and young, was wiped out!
"It's Tongtian, it must be him. He was too ruthless and killed everyone in the Li family." Gao Fei instantly became extremely sinister.
"In order to prevent the Li family from leaking the location of the ancient treasure, they exterminated the entire Li family. They were ruthless. This bastard is indeed a person who does great things. Plus, with the support of the elders of Tianxuan Sect, no wonder this guy is so arrogant."
The skeleton also sneered, feeling extremely ashamed of Tongtian for doing such a thing!
"Now that all the clues are broken, what should we do now?" Gao Fei looked around and asked aloud.
"Go back to Shicheng to find the old man. Maybe you can ask me something. I always feel like I've missed something." The skeleton said thoughtfully: "When the old man spoke, his eyes flickered a little and his words were a little hesitant..."
"Yes, I also feel like they are hiding something and are unwilling to say it." Gao Fei was about to drive the winged beast away, but at this moment, his expression changed, he raised his head and stared into the distance, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Got up.
"roar!"
Suddenly, there was a roar like a dragon's roar in the distant sky, which spread for dozens of miles, causing the mountains to roar. In mid-air, a silver horse was seen reaching its limit, heading this way.
Coming through the air.
"Someone is coming." Gao Fei's expression changed drastically, and he immediately drove the winged beast to evacuate the place and hid in the nearby mountains.
"Could it be that people from Tongtian are searching for the orphans of the Li family and trying to kill them all?" Gao Fei said coldly.
"Those who deserve to be killed have been killed long ago. With Tongtian's ruthlessness, people related to the Li family should not be allowed to survive. There may be someone else coming, but I don't know which force it is." The skeleton does not think it is.
A man who reaches heaven.
A moment later, a young man wearing mink fur and feathers rode a silver phoenix horse through the air and appeared in mid-air.
"It's him! Why did he appear at the Li family ruins?" After seeing the person clearly, Gao Fei's pupils suddenly shrank.
This man was the young man Gao Fei met inexplicably in Shicheng. The two had not yet had an inexplicable fight, but this man's appearance in the sky above the Li family ruins made Gao Fei feel a little strange.
"It seems that there is one more person who is interested in ancient treasures. It seems that you have many opponents." The skeleton also said in surprise.
"This guy should have gotten the news that the Li family has unearthed ancient treasures. If he joins in the robbery, I'm afraid a war will be inevitable. He and Tongtian are both the same type of people. Both of them are equally arrogant and arrogant.
"Gao Fei snorted coldly.
"Wouldn't this be great? If Tongtian personally guards the mining area, lures him there, and lets them fight to the death."
Gao Fei didn't say much, but his gaze became sharp as he stared at the young man in the air.
In the mid-air, the silver lin horse's four hooves were surging with clouds and mist, and it was walking in the air. Its hoofs trampled in the void, making a roaring sound.
It is covered with silver scales, and each scale is surrounded by a bright divine light, as if surrounded by silver flames. The blood is billowing and fills the long sky, like a demon god coming across the void, with an overwhelming momentum.
"Humph!" The young man sitting on Yinlin's horse snorted coldly, his tone extremely cold.
"This man is very powerful. With the help of Silver Linma and Lingbao, he will explode into full force. He will definitely be a life-or-death enemy." Gao Fei's eyes were gloomy.
However, the young man did not stay long. He drove the Silver Lin horse in a circle over the Li family ruins and left quickly. The man and the horse turned into a bright silver stream of light and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
Gao Fei said nothing and watched the young man leave. He immediately returned to the stone city and strode towards the east of the city.
When Gao Fei returned to the slums in the east of Shicheng City, it was already dark. He came to the broken house where the old man lived and found that the thin young man was feeding the old man herbs. Under the yellowed oil lamp, the whole
The house is filled with medicinal fragrance.
"A potion that nourishes the mind and calms the mind?" Gao Fei looked at the bowl in the young man's hand, sniffed hard, and immediately frowned.
"This is honeysuckle, which is generally used to treat mental weakness caused by fright, but the effect is not good. It seems that this old man has been frightened." The skeleton also said in a deep voice: "In addition, this man's flesh and blood are withered. If he is not treated well,
, I’m afraid he will die soon.”
Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh, strode into the house, and said, "Your grandpa cannot be cured by honeysuckle alone."
"Is it you? Why are you here again? You can leave, we don't know anything." The young man's face changed slightly, looking a little uneasy.
"Young man, only the Li family knows the location of the mining area. You'd better go find them." The old man opened his eyes slightly, then slowly closed them. His face looked a little haggard, and his complexion was much worse than an hour ago.
few.
"Grandpa, don't talk. Relax." The young man took a spoon and put the cooked herbs into the old man's mouth. His movements were very slow and focused, although it could be seen that he was wary of Gao Fei.
But there was no panic.
"All the miners have not come back, except this old man..." Seeing the old man sitting on the chair with a haggard look, Gao Fei had a flash of inspiration in his heart. He quietly retreated outside the house without disturbing the two of them.
After waiting for a moment, the young man came out, looking a little lonely, and said to Gao Fei: "Grandpa let you in."
Gao Fei nodded and followed the young man into the dilapidated house. The old man was sitting in front of the table, looking much more peaceful. However, he was too weak. Under the yellowing oil lamp, his body looked like a withered body.
The blood is getting weaker and weaker.
"Have you been to the Li family? I heard that there was a conflict with Heifeng Village because of the treasure, and there were heavy casualties?" the old man asked.
"There is no one left in the Li family. The place has become a ruin. Everyone was killed by Black Wind Village." Gao Fei shook his head.
"What!" The old man suddenly turned pale with fright, his whole body started to tremble, and the blood drained from his face with a swipe.
The news seemed to come too suddenly, and even the young man standing behind the old man had an extremely complicated expression on his face that looked a little young at this moment.
There is anger, ridicule, and an unforgettable sadness.
"Did I make a mistake? How old is this boy, yet he shows such complicated emotions?" Gao Fei couldn't help but frowned.
"It seems that their relationship with the Li family is very unusual. Otherwise, as a miner, the Li family would never let him out easily. Otherwise, if the news of the ancient treasure spread, no one would be able to bear this responsibility.
"The skeleton said in a deep voice.
The old man seemed to be lost in memories, but the young man was stubborn and did not want to speak, and both of them became silent.
A full half an hour passed before the old man woke up from his memories, but his eyes became even more cloudy. Under the yellow light, he burst into tears and said, "You have something to ask?"
Just say it."
"Grandpa doesn't want it. He has killed many people and is not a good person." The young man looked at Gao Fei uneasily and said.
"There are a few people who practice Xuanwu who don't kill people. Don't make a fuss. The Li family has been destroyed and we don't have to hide anything." The old man turned to Gao Fei and asked, "Can you tell us your identity?"
Gao Fei's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and threw a jade token onto the table.
"Tianxuan Sect's outer disciple badge?" The old man saw the badge on the table clearly and was so excited that his whole body started to tremble.
"Yes, to be precise, with my strength, I should have been promoted to an inner disciple long ago, but due to various reasons, I have not participated in the assessment, so I have not been certified as an inner disciple of Tianxuan Sect." Gao Fei nodded and dismissed the old man.
doubts.
"Who are the people of Tianxuan Sect? Do they need to show such an excited expression?" the skeleton said angrily.
"Of course, Tianxuan Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, and its power is huge. To ordinary people, it is completely giant." Gao Fei licked his lips, not bothering to say anything to such an outrageous antique like a skeleton.
"That's because they are ignorant. Many people in Tianxuan Sect are nothing. If it were Tongtian and knew that he had entered the mining area, he would have chopped them into pieces with one knife." Skull said with disdain.
"It turns out he is an expert from Tianxuan Sect. How pitiful God is." The old man stood up quickly and wanted to kneel down in front of Gao Fei.
"You don't have to be like this, old man. You have something to say." Gao Fei quickly supported the old man and helped him back to the chair and sat down again.
"Since the young master is a master of Tianxuan Sect, I have nothing to hide." The old man slowly calmed down, with a look of deep contemplation on his face, as if he was considering which part to start his narration.
