Mu Ziyu's description of Ye Qingshuang was full of regret.
Ye Qingshuang was deeply impressed when she first entered Zhenwu Academy a year ago. At that time, she was devastated and exhausted.
After that, 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 traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers alone and endured all kinds of hardships before arriving at Zhenwu Academy.
Later, her beauty and talent quickly amazed the entire Zhenwu Academy. She was supposed to be the star of all the stars, but she didn't expect that because of her lack of background, she was targeted by many young masters from aristocratic families.
Those young masters believed that she came from a poor place, so she must be easy to deal with and would be courteous to her frequently.
Under normal circumstances, a little girl from a barbaric land would easily lose herself in the huge prosperity, but she didn't.
She rejected the solicitude of any male students, even at the expense of offending the forces behind them, and devoted herself to cultivation.
She practiced much harder than her peers. In just one year, she entered the inner courtyard even though her training resources were far inferior to those of other children from aristocratic families.
Mu Ziyu has always admired her, so even though she was cold and cold, he always took good care of her.
Who would have thought that she would be so seriously injured this time, but the master said that she might die if she was just a little bit away from it.
She escaped back to Zhenwu Academy by herself, but she collapsed as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the academy. Her body was covered with injuries that made people gasp.
How ruthless a person must be, and what kind of reason would he have to put her to death?
"Apart from talking about her master, she didn't say anything else?"
Gu Chen asked.
Tao Yu and Ye Qingshuang share the same love as 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 one word that she calls more often than she is called master, but we don't understand what it means."
Mu Ziyu replied.
"Which word?"
"It seems like... an isolated city?"
Mu Ziyu said uncertainly.
Gu Chen's heart rippled, and he looked at Ye Qingshuang in surprise.
"Gucheng Gucheng, what do you mean by her? Does this have anything to do with the murderer?"
Mu Ziyu muttered.
Gu Chen didn't respond. He stepped forward and grabbed 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 her internal organs were obviously damaged.
He found some residual alien energy in her meridians, which was neutral in nature and not cold or negative.
"It's not like what the killer from Hades Palace did..."
Gu Chen murmured in his heart that he had already guessed who the person who attacked Ye Qingshuang was, but the result still made him a little puzzled.
He had dealt with killers from Hades Palace. Most of the techniques they practiced were dark and negative, and the symptoms of the injured people were somewhat different from Ye Qingshuang's.
The most important thing is that Ye Qingshuang came back alive. A killer who is proficient in killing should not 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 beginning to end, Mu Ziyu asked angrily.
"No, I can't see anything!"
Gu Chen's words were concise and concise, which made Mu Ziyu grit his teeth in anger.
"This little bastard, you fooled me before you dared to fall in love!"
…
Gu Chen returned to the library building and already understood the whole thing in his heart.
Now that Ye Qingshuang was attacked, it meant that the other party could no longer keep his composure, and he believed that he would soon become a target.
Right now, waiting and waiting is the best option.
"Little guy, from now on you will hide in the dark, and my life and fortune will be left to you."
Gu Chen said to the white ape and handed it a storage ring.
Bai Yuan blinked his eyes and made a few gestures.
"It's still unclear whether Jiang Yige is dead or alive. It's still too early to report to heaven. Besides, he knows about Ba Gu. If he is still alive, I hope the first person to come into contact with him is me."
Gu Chen understood its meaning and replied.
Bai Yuan was thoughtful, said no more, put the storage ring on his hand, and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, stayed quietly in the library building, as if nothing had happened.
At night, someone came to the door.
"Chen Zhun Daozi, we found new clues about Jiang Daozi!"
It was Zhu Yilun who came, he said excitedly as soon as he met.
"Oh? What clue?"
Gu Chen's expression perked up.
"I, the Heavenly Court Assassin, discovered a broken magic weapon in the Big Flame Mountain, twenty miles east of the Zhenwu Academy. It was identified as the Seven Orifices Tongyou Pagoda that Jiang Daozi once used!"
As he spoke, he turned his hand over and handed over a broken magic weapon in the shape of a small tower!
Gu Chen took it and took a look, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Sure enough, it's the Seven Apertures Tower. Where was it found? Lead the way!"
He said immediately, looking excited and eager.
"As you command!"
Zhu Yilun lowered his head and said, a hint of joking flashed deep in his eyes.
So he led Gu Chen and left the Zhenwu Academy and flew to the Great Flame Mountain twenty miles away.
Twenty miles is very close to the two monks, and they will be there in a short time.
The Dayan Mountain has high mountains and dense forests. Zhu Yilun took Gu Chen around the mountain for a while, and then entered a secluded valley.
"Is this where the Qiqiao Tongyou Pagoda was discovered?"
Gu Chen stepped into the valley unhurriedly, raised his eyebrows, and asked.
"no."
Zhu Yilun, who had been very respectful before, suddenly straightened his back and his tone became cold.
"No? If not, why did you bring me here? Don't you know I'm very busy?"
Gu Chen immediately looked unhappy.
"People are dying, so what else is there to do?"
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 surprised look on his face. "Why are you here? Could it be that you..."
He looked at Zhu Yilun in shock, his expression changing several times.
"That's right, you knew it was too late, idiot!"
Zhu Yilun suddenly blocked the way out of the valley, and his smile turned ferocious.
"I just threw up Sun Jinming to fool you, but you actually believed it and gave us a few more days to make arrangements."
"You know, when you suddenly appeared in Izumo Tower, you really scared me into a cold sweat."
Gu Chen's expression turned ugly and he asked.
"You spy, it seems that Jiang Yige's disappearance has something to do with you! Aren't you afraid of severe punishment from heaven if you cheat like this?"
"So what? You knew it was too late!"
Zhu Yilun took off his disguise and sneered. "Ye Qingshuang is already half dead. You should die too. In that case, Heaven will never know the truth. How can it cause trouble for me?"
"Ye Qingshuang turned out to be harmed by you, so to speak..."
Gu Chen looked around nervously.
"This is your burial place!"
He Fangzheng said indifferently and raised his hand.
Buzz——
On the ground of the valley, arrays of formation patterns emerged for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, they formed a huge killing array, trapping Gu Chen in the middle!
