Liumu Bingjian nodded slightly and said, "The Heavenly Measures Tower began ten years ago. I remember that on the day that the Demon-Buster Conference ended, that person came to us and proposed to build the Heavenly Measures Tower together. You already know that the structure of the Heavenly Measures Tower is very simple. It is divided into the Tower Master, the Walker, and the spy. The Tower Master can share information unconditionally; the Walker has to pay a certain price; the spy has the weakest authority and does not have the right to access information, but the Heavenly Measures Tower will provide funds to ensure all kinds of benefits before and after his death. Apart from the Tower Master, everyone else's life belongs to the Heavenly Measures Tower. "
"I think you understand," she sighed softly, "We, the Tower Masters, are the relatively outstanding disciples of the Eight Schools of Confucian orthodoxy."
"Why the Eight Schools?" Yan Li asked.
"Back then, Feng Jiu rejected that person's invitation, so the Court Of Sword is not part of the Heavenly Measures Tower's system," Liumu Bingjian said.
"What about the Human Realm's Heavenly Measures Tower?" Yan Li asked.
Liumu Bingjian said, "Seven years ago, I took the lead in the Human Realm and gathered a group of people to build the Human Realm's Heavenly Measures Tower. I have always believed that an organization should not exist by depriving individuals of their will. I hope that all of them can be free. "
"The Ice Beauty is also an idealist," Yan Li said.
"Excuse me," Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "One last question. Who is the so-called 'that person' that you speak of?"
"Emperor Han," Liumu Bingjian said.
"Emperor Han, ranked second on the Heavenly Star List?" Yan Li said.
"The First Star of the Big Dipper in the history of the Dao Court, the most dazzling genius in the Celestial World, the one and only," Liumu Bingjian said.
"Is Eldest Senior Brother Feng Jiu not as good as him?" Yan Li said.
"Of course," Liumu Bingjian said.
"I would like to hear the details," Yan Li said.
"Because he is a Tier 1 Starlord." Liumu Bingjian said faintly, "For thousands of years, ever since the Dao Court's Patriarch passed away, the first-grade Starlords have vanished without a trace. Among the cultivators, the first-grade Starlords are the most talented. Unless Feng Jiu's real name is a first-class sword master. "
Yan Li recalled the scene when he was enlightened.
Liumu Bingjian slowly raised his head and looked at the crescent moon that was as thin as a cicada's wing. In a trance, he said, "Since he has grasped the 'Godly Swordsmanship' technique, he is known as the Sword Emperor. His expertise in swordsmanship is as good as Feng Jiu's. Right now, he is also the only candidate who is likely to surpass my master and become the most powerful Sword God."
"I see," Yan Li said.
"Why do you suddenly ask about this, Brother Yan?" Liumu Bingjian asked.
"Because I suspect that you already have doubts," Yan Li said.
"What do you mean?" Liumu Bingjian asked.
"I suspect that you already have doubts, ever since your letter," Yan Li said.
"What do you mean!" Liumu Bingjian raised his eyebrows.
The tone of these two questions were completely different. The former was a pure question, while the latter was an affirmative one.
Yan Li lowered his voice and said, "There are spies from the Fengtian Sect in the Heavenly Policy Tower, so you dare not act rashly."
Liumu Bingjian's heart skipped a beat and her beautiful eyes flickered. She almost misunderstood that Yan Li could read her mind and read her thoughts.
However, when she saw the other party's probing expression, she realized that she had been tricked. She could not help but smile bitterly, "Brother Yan, you are really …"
Yan Li smiled faintly and said, "You rejecting my invitation was not part of my plan. You caused me to have to readjust, so it's not too much to trick you. "
"You came at the right time."
"What do you mean?" Liumu Bingjian asked.
Yan Li said, "After this battle, you might be able to answer some of the questions in your heart. Help me witness it."
"Witness what?" Liumu Bingjian asked.
Yan Li's lips curled up slightly. "The Yanshan Robber is a righteous robber who fights against evil forces."
Liumu Bingjian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What kind of robber flaunts himself as righteous?"
"Now you've seen it," Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian was about to speak when they suddenly heard a loud whistle.
The two of them looked at each other and rushed over at the same time.
When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw Qin Sufang standing beside a well facing the street. When she saw the two of them coming over, she quickly said, "Dragon Head, come take a look, there's something wrong with this well."
The two of them ran to the well and bent down to look into it. After looking for a long time, they could not see anything wrong.
"Isn't this just an ordinary abandoned well?" Yan Li said.
Dry soil was filled up to a distance of two feet from the mouth of the well. Even the stone cracks were covered with weeds, so there was really nothing wrong with it.
Qin Sufang said, "I'll let you know, Dragon Head. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to abandon a well next to a market. This is because every major festival, the streets need to be cleaned, and people need to get water nearby. Those who have the means to dig a well will never fill it with soil. Moreover, these weeds are not weeds at all. They're a type of herb called Dragon Sword. Its specialty is that it grows very fast, and it's very common in my hometown."
This "common knowledge", even to Yan Li, was a fantasy. How could they, as cultivators, come into contact with the common folk's affairs?
"My father used to be the workshop manager, he told me all of this." She was afraid that the two of them did not believe her, so she added.
"You're saying that someone deliberately faked it as an abandoned well?" Yan Li said.
"Yes," Qin Sufang said.
"What do you think, Brother Yan?" Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li thought for a while, then said, "Dig!"
"I'll do it." As soon as Liumu Bingjian finished speaking, he gestured for the two of them to step back. His clothes fluttered even though there was no wind, and strands of Qi flowed out. She raised her jade-like hand and aimed at the mouth of the well. Her palm naturally emitted an icy white Qi.
The dry soil was visibly frozen. As she clenched her fist, it turned into dust and disappeared, revealing a deep and bottomless cave.
Yan Li walked over, picked up a stone and threw it down. After a while, it fell to the bottom with a "thud".
"There really is a mystery. I'll go down first, wait for my news."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the Leaving Cliff Sword and jumped into the well.
The two of them stared at the mouth of the well, ready to help at any time.
"There's a secret passage. Come down." Yan Li's voice was heard.
Hearing that, Liumu Bingjian immediately jumped down.
Qin Sufang looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no other unusual sights, she also jumped down.
This was a spacious but crude tunnel. It was built very deep underground, and no one knew where it led to. There were many messy footprints on the dry soil.
"Look, these footprints, could they be the secret behind their disappearance?" Yan Li lit a torch to illuminate the ground.
Liumu Bingjian said in disbelief, "That simple?"
"Usually, it's just a simple trick that blinds our eyes." Yan Li said.
He held the torch and led the way deeper into the tunnel.
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived in front of a stone door.
