Bone Piercing was used on Lu Ping, but right now, Fifth Liu's mood also seemed to have been plundered by Bone Piercing. The feeling of helplessness caused him to lose the calmness and confidence he had when he was with Zhuo Qing.
His plan was still foolproof. Lu Ping was lured to the Octagonal Pavilion. Hidden sentries and barriers were set up everywhere, making it clear that no one would disturb him.
Since things had progressed to this stage, he thought that it was already a success. As for dealing with Lu Ping, that was not part of his plan from the start. Why would he need to plan to deal with a youngster who could not even use his soul power?
In the end, the situation occurred at this stage.
After being persuaded by Zhuo Qing, Fifth Liu stopped using Bone Piercing. His words were tough, but he was actually taking advantage of the situation to go downhill. This was because he realized that his soul power was actually exhausted after using Bone Piercing continuously. He thought that Lu Ping would not be able to hold on, but he did not expect that the one who could not hold on was actually him.
In the end, Fifth Liu still did not want to take Lu Ping's life just like that. Digging out information about Guo Youdao from Lu Ping was his first mission. According to the warrant that Qin Qi, the director of the Institute's Commission, had personally sent to him, the group of people on the wanted list had been scattered, and Lu Ping and Guo Youdao had been thrown off the cliff together. Lu Ping was probably the only person who knew anything about Guo Youdao.
Fifth Liu did not clearly tell Lu Ping what he wanted to know, because he was afraid that Lu Ping would grasp this point and oppose him. In the end, his torture could not pry open Lu Ping's mouth.
If this continued, it would not be good to kill him.
Liu Wu would also find some comfort in his heart. But now that he could not get any information from Lu Ping, how to deal with it was a thorny problem. This was the North Style Academy, not the prison of the Law Enforcement Division, where people could be locked up indefinitely and interrogated slowly.
In the North Style Academy, luring Lu Ping to the Octagonal Pavilion and torturing him was something that Liu Wu had planned for a long time. Once he was done, he would silence the witness. It would be clean and easy, but Liu Wu really did not have the confidence to keep hiding such a living person. Especially recently, the North Style Academy was already jittery. Lu Ping was also involved in that incident. Now that he had disappeared, it would inevitably lead to an extremely strict investigation.
He couldn't kill them, nor could he hide them. He couldn't release it either.
In that case, the problem became much simpler because Liu Wu had no other choice.
Suddenly, he pointed his finger in the air and used his remaining Spirit Force to strike the back of Lu Ping's head. Lu Ping's body suddenly sank. Without any support, he collapsed to the ground.
Zhuo Qing was startled and thought that Liu Wu had killed him. But then he sensed that Lu Ping wasn't dead yet. He was just knocked unconscious.
"We have to send him off the mountain," said Liu Wu.
They couldn't kill him, hide him, or release him. Then, moving Lu Ping was the only choice. Zhuo Qing had just arrived and only knew the surface of the Black Army Empire's influence in the North Style Academy. Naturally, he couldn't help with this matter. Liu Wu only told him a few things and immediately started to make arrangements. But he was still regretting in his heart: If I knew that this Lu Ping would be so troublesome. Then I should have lured him out of the Big Dipper Mountain and not to the Octagonal Pavilion.
With the remaining Spirit Force, he could still send a message to everyone. Bringing a person out of the North Style Academy without anyone knowing was easy, but it was also difficult. Liu Wu was also planning in his heart. Suddenly, he had a thought.
"Someone is coming … …" He suddenly said. But after saying these three words, his body stiffened.
From the Octagonal Pavilion to the Eastern Mountain Residence, they had set up a total of three barrier points. Every point was guarded in secret. If someone tried to barge in, they would be discovered. Liu Wu was on the Octagonal Pavilion. He could even directly receive the message from the barrier point.
Just now, someone had entered the first barrier point. But Eastern Mountain Residence was still a place of residence. Although the time Liu Wu chose was rather late, it didn't mean that there was absolutely no one there. As such, Liu Wu was not too anxious after just passing through the first barrier. He was mentally prepared for it. He was prepared, and then he would wait for the people at the barrier point to send more accurate information before making a decision. The purpose of setting up three barriers was to ensure that they could be prepared, but not to the extent of panicking.
Just now, it was the first time someone had passed through the first barrier point. Liu Wu received the message and naturally had to be careful. But, "someone is coming." He originally wanted to say these four words to Zhuo Qing. In the end, he only said these three words when the second and third barrier point sent messages.
"Someone is intruding!"
"Intruder!"
"Careful!"
The message from the barrier guards came one after another. But in the blink of an eye, they had already passed through three barriers. What kind of speed was this? With this speed, they would probably reach the Octagonal Pavilion in the blink of an eye!
Liu Wu didn't even have time to remind Zhuo Qing. He was already on full alert.
Where was the opponent?
He sensed all around. Zhuo Qing, who had only heard "someone is coming," saw Liu Wu's extremely guarded expression, and didn't dare relax. He immediately paid full attention to his surroundings. Seeing that Liu Wu was paying more attention to the mountain pass in front, his gaze wandered elsewhere. Maybe the opponent would break in from another place?
Left, right. Zhuo Qing looked left and right. He didn't find any disturbances. His gaze turned back to Liu Wu, and he suddenly thought of something.
Right … right …
His gaze suddenly turned to the right, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
"Senior Liu Wu," he called out.
"Careful, there's an expert," Liu Wu said.
"He's already been here," Zhuo Qing said.
"What?" Liu Wu suddenly turned his head, but other than Zhuo Qing, he didn't see any traces of anyone.
Anyone, including Lu Ping on the ground.
"Where's Lu Ping?" Liu Wu asked in shock.
Zhuo Qing shook his head.
He looked left, looked right, and only cared about the enemy. At first glance, he didn't notice. When he turned his head, he suddenly realized that Lu Ping, who had been lying on the ground, had disappeared.
So he didn't say that someone had come.
He said that someone had come.
Someone had come, and taken away Lu Ping.
Right under their noses, right beside them.
He didn't sense it, and neither did Liu Wu.
Would it be difficult for such an expert to take the lives of the two of them along the way?
Liu Wu's face was as pale as Zhuo Qing's, who had been frightened by his torture.
He stood there in a daze, looking at where Lu Ping had disappeared. He didn't speak for a while. Until two more people jumped up the mountain pass. Zhuo Qing hurriedly made preparations to face the enemy, but Liu Wu waved his hand. The ones who had charged up the mountain pass were their own people, the ones who had been guarding the barrier at the foot of the mountain.
The two who came saw that Liu Wu's expression wasn't right. They looked around and found that Lu Ping, who should have been here, was gone.
"What's going on?" The one who came asked.
Liu Wu's expression was extremely solemn. He took out the sound track he had snatched from Lu Ping earlier and played with it in his fingers. He thought for a while.
The sound track was used for communication. It could transmit a specific sound message. Even if there wasn't any specific message, it was still a kind of signal.
Although Lu Ping didn't succeed in using it, his intention to ask for help was shown.
Someone was protecting Lu Ping from behind. Liu Wu had thought of this from the start.
And right now, Lu Ping was rescued by someone. Liu Wu didn't know if this person was the one who could communicate with the sound track. Liu Wu didn't know how this person knew that Lu Ping was in danger at the Octagonal Pavilion. Who was this person? Liu Wu didn't know either.
He only knew that this person was very powerful, far more powerful than them.
He took away Lu Ping from their side as if he was a feather. He didn't even feel it.
Even in the North Style Academy, there weren't many people with such strength.
This was the scariest part!
An expert that was rarely seen even in the North Style Academy, what level was he?
Liu Wu clenched his teeth and crushed the sound track.
