Chapter 230

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

She had a deep impression of Ye Qingshuang when she first entered the True Martial Academy a year ago. At that time, she was lost and travel-worn.

After that, she learned from her master that Xu Yun's teacher was killed. Ye Qingshuang's sect elders were almost all gone. She crossed thousands of mountains and rivers alone and suffered a lot before she came to the True Martial Academy.

Later, her beauty and talent quickly stunned the entire True Martial Academy. She should have been surrounded by stars, but she didn't expect that because she had no background, she was targeted by many young masters of aristocratic families.

Those young masters believed that she came from a barren land and must be very easy to deal with, so they frequently tried to please her.

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

She refused the attentions of any male students, and even offended the forces behind them, and devoted herself to cultivation.

Her cultivation was much more diligent than her peers. In just one year, she entered the Inner Court under the circumstances that her cultivation resources were far inferior to those of other aristocratic families.

Mu Ziyu had always admired her, so even if she was cold, she usually took care of her.

Who would have thought that she would actually suffer such a serious injury this time? Her master had said that if she had been just a little bit more, she might have lost her life.

She escaped back to the True Martial Academy by herself, and as soon as she reached the gate of the academy, she fell down. The injuries all over her body made people gasp.

Just how ruthless would a person have to be? What kind of reason would they have to put her to death?

"She didn't say anything else except talking about her master?"

Gu Chen asked.

Tao Yu and Ye Qingshuang were like mother and daughter. It was not strange that she subconsciously called her when she was unconscious, but this was not what he wanted to know.

"Yes, there is a word she said more often than calling her master, but we didn't understand what it meant."

Mu Ziyu replied.

"Which word?"

"It seems to be … Gu Cheng?"

Mu Ziyu said with uncertainty.

Gu Chen's heart rippled, and he looked at Ye Qingshuang in surprise.

"Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng, what do you think she means? Does this have anything to do with the murderer? "

Mu Ziyu muttered.

Gu Chen did not respond. Instead, he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Qingshuang's hand, while his Spiritual Sense seeped into her body.

It was unknown how many meridians in her body were severed, and even her internal organs were clearly damaged.

He found some residual foreign energy in her meridians. It was neutral, not cold or negative.

"It doesn't seem like the work of an assassin from the Nether God Palace …"

Gu Chen murmured in his heart. He already had a guess as to who had ambushed Ye Qingshuang, but the result still puzzled him.

He had dealt with the assassins of the Underworld God Palace before. Most of the techniques they cultivated were dark and negative, and the symptoms of those who were injured were somewhat different from Ye Qingshuang's.

Most importantly, Ye Qingshuang had returned alive. An assassin who was proficient in killing should not have made such a huge mistake.

"So, what exactly is your relationship with the Nether God Palace?"

Gu Chen murmured. He put down Ye Qingshuang's hand and turned to leave.

"Hey, did you find any clues?"

Mu Ziyu saw that Gu Chen did not say much from the beginning to the end, so she asked impatiently.

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

Gu Chen's words were concise and to the point, which made Mu Ziyu gnash her teeth in anger.

"This little bastard, he was fooling me before!"

…

Gu Chen returned to the library, and he had already understood the whole matter.

Since Ye Qingshuang was attacked, it meant that the other party could not hold back, and he believed that he would soon become the target.

At the moment, waiting for the rabbit to come to him was the best choice.

"Little guy, from now on, you will hide in the dark. My life is in your hands."

Gu Chen said to the white ape as he handed over a storage ring to it.

White Ape blinked and gestured a few times.

"Whether Jiang Yige is dead or alive is still unknown. It is still a bit early to report to the Celestial Court. Moreover, he knows about Tyrannical Bone. If he is still alive, I hope that I will be the first person to come into contact with him. "

Gu Chen understood what it meant and replied.

White Ape thought for a while and said no more. He put the storage ring on his hand and disappeared on the spot.

As for Gu Chen, he stayed quietly in the library, as if nothing had happened.

At night, someone came to the door.

"Chen Zhun, we found a new clue about Jiang Daozi!"

It was Zhu Yilun, who said excitedly as soon as he saw Chen Zhun.

"Oh? What clue? "

Gu Chen's face lit up.

"My Celestial Court's assassin found a broken artifact in the Great Flaming Mountain, 75 miles east of True Martial Academy. After identification, it is the Seven-Orifice Netherworld Pagoda that Jiang Daozi once used!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and handed over a broken artifact in the shape of a small pagoda!

Gu Chen took a look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It really is the Seven-Orifice Netherworld Pagoda. Where did you find it? Lead the way!"

He said immediately, looking excited and eager.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhu Yilun lowered his head and said, a trace of mockery flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Therefore, he led Gu Chen away from True Martial Academy and flew to the Great Flaming Mountain, which was 75 miles away.

75 miles was a short distance for the two cultivators, and they arrived in a short while.

The Great Flaming Mountain was high and dense with forests. Zhu Yilun led Gu Chen around the mountain for a while, and then entered a secluded valley.

"The Seven-Orifice Netherworld Pagoda was found here?"

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

"No."

Zhu Yilun, who had been very respectful earlier, suddenly straightened his back, and his tone became cold.

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

Gu Chen's face was immediately filled with displeasure.

"You're about to die. What's there to be busy about?"

At this moment, a dignified young man walked out from the depths of the valley, his tone sinister.

"Fangzheng?"

Gu Chen looked at him in surprise. "Why are you here? Don't tell me you … "

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

"That's right, you found out too late, idiot!"

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

"I randomly threw out Sun Jinming to fool you, but I didn't expect you to really believe me and give us a few more days to make arrangements.

"Do you know that when you suddenly appeared in Chuyun Tower, I was really scared out of my wits?"

Gu Chen's expression turned ugly as he questioned him.

"You spy, it seems like Jiang Yige's disappearance has something to do with you! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Celestial Court for being such a traitor? "

"So what? You've found out too late! "

Zhu Yilun tore off his disguise and sneered. "Ye Qingshuang is already half dead. You should die too. That way, the Celestial Court will never know the truth. Why would they find trouble with me?"

"So Ye Qingshuang was killed by you guys. In that case, this place …"

Gu Chen looked around anxiously.

"This will be your burial ground!"

He Fangzheng said coldly and raised his hand.

Buzz —

On the ground of the valley, lines of formation patterns emerged and formed a vast killing formation in the blink of an eye, trapping Gu Chen in the middle!
