Things were supposed to develop according to the plan. However, on the fifth day, a piece of news came and completely disrupted Yan Li's plan.
In the early morning of this day, he woke up from his meditation and prepared to bid farewell to everyone with Fu 'er and go to Muye Longxiang Mountain to visit Shen Liuyun. At the same time, he asked the experts of Longxiang Mountain to help take a look at Fu' er's condition and inquire about the whereabouts of the True Scripture of Guangwei.
Huang Chengyan rushed in, "Junior Brother, bad news!"
"What happened?" Yan Li woke Fu Er, who was sleeping soundly, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the golden armor in your room was stolen again?" There were many spiritual beasts in the mountain. They were born from the Spiritual Qi of the cave and were different from common animals. There was a kind of naughty monkey that loved to steal things and put them in a hidden place for the owner to find.
"Oh, no, it's your friend!" Huang Chengyan panicked.
"My friend?" Yan Li was stunned.
Huang Chengyan explained, "Didn't I take the duty of patrolling the White Water City? When I went down the mountain this morning, I heard many people talking about Prince Qing and the second prince at the ferry. They said that Prince Qing and the second prince encountered the murderous demon Li Ku. Prince Qing died on the spot and your friend was seriously injured. He jumped into the water to escape. His whereabouts are unknown."
"Oh?" Yan Li's expression changed slightly.
Huang Chengyan was surprised to see that he was not in a hurry. But he soon realized that the relationship between the second prince and Yan Li was not as deep as the former said. He smiled, "I heard that Li Ku found him as soon as he set foot on the land of the human world and before he could leave Luojing City."
"Oh?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows, "How did the Hatred Palace respond?"
Huang Chengyan knew that he was close to the Hatred Palace and was very concerned, "I haven't heard of that. But I think if Li Ku wanted to deal with the Hatred Palace, he would have done it long ago."
"Even if that is the case …" Yan Li's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said, "Who exactly is this Li Ku? Why are so many people talking about him? "
Huang Chengyan said, "I only know that he graduated from the Great Corner Academy and was in the same period as the Overlord of Polu. Before the Fallen Gods Battle, he was known as the Su Beike of the human world."
Su Beike of the mortal world, in other words, the strongest sword immortal in the mortal world?
Yan Li was shocked and said, "Then how did he become a murderous demon king?"
"I heard that during the Battle of Fallen Gods, he betrayed the Sacred Dynasty and slaughtered many soldiers. He also killed all the experts who surrounded him and then disappeared." Huang Chengyan paused and looked at the sky. "I don't have time to tell you the details. Eldest Senior Brother Feng Jiu doesn't like people to be late. I'll ask around for you when I get to White Water City. If there's any important information, I'll send a message back." With that said, he trotted away on his sword.
"Master, is there anything to eat?" Fu 'er asked sleepily.
"I'll bring it to you. Get up and wash up first." Yan Li stood up and walked to the kitchen. On the way, his mind was still immersed in what he had just heard. Ji Wuyu was seriously injured and missing. It was hard to say whether he was alive or not. Should the deal continue?
Li Ku probably didn't attack them for no reason. If he knew that Yanshan Robber killed for Ji Wuyu, he might be targeted. If Yanshan Robber was targeted by such a terrifying person, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace. He would have to cancel his previous plan.
But what was the new form of Ji Wuji's saber? He was so worried that he didn't hear Cao Zijun's greeting from the dining table. He only woke up after the third greeting.
"Yan Li?"
"Elder Cao." He stopped with a bitter smile and cupped his hands.
Cao Zijun smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Li said, "Elder Cao, do you know about the Essence of Moon Soul?"
"That kind of treasure can only be found by chance. Why are you asking about it?"
"I want to ask about the specific use of the Essence of Moon Soul."
"I see."
Cao Zijun thought for a while and said, "The Essence of Moon Soul is evolved from a Moon Demon Stone. It is said that only one in a million Moon Demon Stones can absorb the power of the moon and evolve. Its final form is the Essence of Moon Soul."
"A million!" Yan Li was shocked. That was a huge number. If it was converted into soul stones, it could probably fill up the entire palace.
"That's right." Cao Zijun said, "Its biggest use is to fuse two different artifacts into one. Secondly, it can improve the artifact's quality. For example, an artifact that can only reach the Profound Grade will have the potential to become an immortal artifact after being refined by it."
Hearing this, Yan Li understood. Ji Wuji must have fused some kind of treasure with his blade. But what kind of treasure could threaten an expert on the Heavenly Star List? Ignoring everything else, Crimson Moon Qingchen had an immortal artifact. What kind of treasure could compare to an immortal artifact?
Artifacts were still external forces. Apart from immortal artifacts, they couldn't produce any qualitative changes. Unless …
His eyes flashed and he said, "Can the Essence of Moon Soul be fused with something other than artifacts? For example, the Sword Quenching Quartz. "
Cao Zijun thought for a while and said, "This, I have never heard of it. If you want to know more, you can go to the Imperial Sword Peak and ask the Peak Lord. He likes to tinker with artifacts. There should be nothing he doesn't know about artifacts."
Since it was related to Yan Shiyi's safety, Yan Li naturally had to get to the bottom of it. He brought some food to Fu 'er and told her not to run around. Then, he rode his sword to the Imperial Sword Peak and told the guarding disciple why he was here.
The disciple recognized him and was very courteous. Soon, he was invited in to meet Lord Yangquan.
After greeting him, Lord Yangquan invited Yan Li to sit and politely looked at the tea.
Yan Li immediately asked.
Lord Yangquan laughed and said, "Of course it's possible."
This was what Yan Li guessed. Unless Ji Wuji found an immortal artifact, it was unlikely to be a Bejeweled Artifact. There shouldn't be many artifacts or Sword Quenching Quartz that could threaten Fei Yue Qing Chen. He then asked, "May I ask the Peak Lord, what artifacts or Sword Quenching Quartz could threaten the top three experts of the Heavenly Star List?"
He didn't ask if there were any artifacts or not. Instead, he asked what they were. This was equivalent to asking two questions at once.
"The top three experts of the Heavenly Star List?" Lord Yangquan was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "If you are talking about the top three experts, they are not much weaker than us. There shouldn't be any that could threaten us."
"No?" Yan Li was suspicious. Could it be that Ji Wuyu was exaggerating?
Lord Yangquan smiled. "Unless it is the legendary Seed of Chaos. But it is just a legend."
"Thank you, Peak Lord, for your explanation." Yan Li stood up and left. He returned to the Cangjian Peak and wrote a letter to the Purple Mountain. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, it was better to be prepared. With Yan Shiyi's character, it was impossible for him to give up on the duel.
Thinking about what he had to do, he walked to Cao Zigu's door and knocked.
Cao Zigu came out to welcome him. "Junior Brother, what's the matter?"
The two sat in the yard. Yan Li said, "I haven't had the chance to ask. Senior Brother, do you know Shen Wanzhou?"
"That abandoned disciple? Yes, I do." Cao Zigu said.
"I want to ask about him." Yan Li said.
"Him?" Cao Zigu searched his mind and shook his head. "I don't know much about him. I only know that he was the most outstanding disciple of the Soul Sword Peak …"
At this time, Luo Fangshuo's voice sounded. "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I want to go to the hostel. Do you have anything to bring?"
Yan Li called out from afar. "I have a letter. Please help me send it out, Senior Brother."
Luo Fangshuo walked over and took the letter from Yan Li's hand. He smiled and said, "I'll go then."
For some reason, Cao Zigu suddenly winked at Luo Fangshuo's back.
"Senior Brother, please continue." Yan Li said.
Cao Zigu smiled mysteriously. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who Little Fatty hates the most? It's not someone who bullies him often. You can't imagine it. "
"Who?" Yan Li asked curiously.
"Shen Wanzhou!" Cao Zigu said.
"Really?" Yan Li was surprised. "But the two of them have nothing to do with each other. How could there be a conflict?"
"It's not a conflict." Cao Zigu's expression became a bit complicated. "It's a bit ridiculous. Shen Wanzhou was driven out of the Court Of Sword because of this."
"What on earth?" Yan Li faintly felt that he had grasped the key point.
Cao Zigu looked around nervously. Then he said in a lower voice, "Once, Little Fatty found that Shen Wanzhou was peeping at Beauty Lu taking a bath …"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Yan Li came to realize that he had been working in the wrong direction at the beginning. He took it for granted that Shen Wanzhou was driven out because he had feelings for Ye Qinglan that he shouldn't have. He never expected that Shen Wanzhou actually liked Lu Fengxin!
It was no wonder that Ye Qinglan would say such a thing.
Cao Zigu chuckled in a low voice. "Only Chief Ye was told about this. She drove Shen Wanzhou out of the sect on the spot. That was the only time Little Fatty was brave in his life. He challenged Shen Wanzhou to a duel no matter what."
"Beauty Lu!" Yan Li exclaimed, "Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Shen, I don't know what to say!"
"Why do you suddenly ask about him?" Cao Zigu said.
Yan Li didn't hide anything and told him the whole story.
Cao Zigu was stunned at first. Then he laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
"Is it so funny?" Yan Li rolled his eyes helplessly.
Cao Zigu wiped his tears and said, "Junior Brother, I really admire you. You even dared to accept this kind of thing. You even wrote a love letter to Chief Ye on behalf of Shen Wanzhou? You are so talented. I, I … hahaha … "He slapped the table and almost laughed to the end.
Yan Li sighed and said with melancholy, "I feel like it's getting more troublesome."
Cao Zigu rested for a while and said, "Don't think about it. If Little Fatty knows that you are going to be a matchmaker for them, he will definitely turn against you!"
Yan Li nodded. He couldn't ignore Luo Fangshuo's feelings just to take Shen Wanzhou under his command. This matter really had to end here.
"He's back. Remember, I didn't say anything." Cao Zigu still couldn't suppress his laughter and quickly ran back to his room.
The sword light landed in the courtyard. Luo Fangshuo walked to Yan Li and said, "Junior Brother, there's a letter for you."
"Letter?" Yan Li took it and saw that the sender was Ji Hyun-woon. He frowned. This tomboy was just like him. They wouldn't write letters for no reason. Yan Li had a bad feeling.
