Yan Li was awakened by the noise on the street. He was hiding in the library of a courtyard facing the street. He had been meditating for four hours, so he opened his eyes.
Judging from the noise, something big must have happened that shook Jianghu Town. He took out the Thousand Possibility Box and changed it into Listening Mode. He got rid of the unnecessary noise and heard the conversation of the hoodlums.
"Didn't Lord say he was going to catch a murderer? How could he die at the town gate … and in such a way …" One of the hoodlums said in fear, "The Demon Hunting Hall also asked us to find the murderer. Even if we find him, we can't be his opponent …"
"Just look for him. There won't be any results anyway." The other hoodlum said indifferently, "An expert who can make Lord die in such a way won't bother with small people like us."
Yan Li was puzzled. Luo Kaida clearly died in the palm forest outside the town. How could he be at the town gate? Moreover, he died by breaking his own heart meridian. Even a beginner coroner could see it, let alone a cultivator who was more familiar with the structure of the human body.
Thinking of this, he stopped Listening Mode and secretly followed them.
The two hoodlums searched along the street, but it was just for show. They felt at ease when they saw that their comrades were also searching in groups like them.
At this time, when they passed by a secluded narrow alley, the two suddenly couldn't move. Yan Li appeared behind them and deliberately lowered his voice, "Answer my questions obediently, and I will spare your lives."
"Sir, Sir, please ask …" The two were shocked to find that the True Qi in their Source Sea was being suppressed by a faintly discernible Sword Qi. They couldn't use even a drop of it.
"How did Luo Kaida die?" Yan Li asked.
"Sir, Lord died because all the bones in his body were shattered … even his skull …" The two seemed to recall that scene. Their faces turned green and they couldn't help but retch.
"Impossible, I saw him break his own heart meridian with my own eyes!" Yan Li said.
"Lord's chest was indeed severely injured, but it wasn't fatal …"
"Still not fatal?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows, "Where is the corpse? Take me to see it!"
"Sir, this way please …"
He followed the two hoodlums to the Hoodlum Manor's morgue.
The structure of the Hoodlum Manor was similar to that of the Dragon King Manor in the mortal world, but it wasn't as complicated as the Dragon King Manor, and it didn't have the restrictions of the Obedient Manor. Water, land, transportation, public security, taxes, robberies, murders, lawsuits, and so on were all under the Hoodlum Manor's control.
When Yan Li saw Luo Kaida's corpse, he couldn't help but be shocked. What was on the morgue was no longer a corpse. It was more like a pile of meat that had been crushed by an invisible pressure, and was barely molded into a humanoid shape.
He could still vaguely make out his appearance, but from the expression that remained on his face, he must have had a terrible experience when he was alive. How terrifying was it? It was as if he had been scared to death before he was crushed to death.
Could it be the shopkeeper of the Jianghu Inn?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was denied by Yan Li. Unless there was a relationship like the one he had with Yan Shiyi, it was impossible to achieve this.
The crux of the matter was why the murderer wanted to kill Luo Kaida.
Regarding this question, when he left the morgue and arrived at Gu Caiwei's manor, he didn't even have a conjecture. He was completely confused.
When he arrived at the manor, he saw Lotus Seat disciples hurrying in and out, as if something big had happened.
"Go look again, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find it!" Gu Caiwei's slightly angry voice came from the half-destroyed central room.
Yan Li rarely saw her angry appearance. His heart moved, and he quickened his steps.
Unfortunately, how could his footsteps escape Gu Caiwei's ears. Before he even got close to the central room, he heard her giggling. "Little cheap customer, looks like you've already found something."
Yan Li walked into the central room and brushed past a disciple who was sitting on the lotus seat with her head down. He turned around and glanced at the beautiful figure who was walking hurriedly and said, "I didn't expect that you would order people around like a lady."
Gu Caiwei said coquettishly, "Hmph, I'm the Lotus Cave's First Seat disciple of Lotus Seat. As the next Seat Master, they all have to listen to me. What's wrong with ordering them around?"
"Alright, quickly tell me the situation." Her charming eyes turned, and stared straight at Yan Li.
Yan Li went to find a chair and sat down. "I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to capture this Demon Arrest Hall Master. I can't tell how strong she is, so it's best not to act rashly."
Gu Caiwei said keenly, "It's a woman?"
"How do you know it's her and not him?" Yan Li said.
Gu Caiwei didn't answer Yan Li's question, but muttered in deep thought, "Don't tell me it's her?"
"Who is she?" Yan Li said.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you in the future." Gu Caiwei said.
Yan Li didn't mind, and said, "According to my speculation, this Hall Master has a very high position in the Dao Court. It's very likely that she's a direct disciple. There's only one way to capture her."
"What way?" Gu Caiwei said.
"When she takes action, she'll definitely reveal a flaw." Yan Li said, "However, even if she reveals a flaw, we might not be able to capture her. Unless it's in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, the sacred ground of the Court Of Sword."
"I understand." Gu Caiwei said.
"You understand?" Yan Li said.
Gu Caiwei said sweetly, "I understand what you mean. I'll patiently wait for that day to come. But, little bitch, with your cunning and stubborn personality, you've already schemed against me, haven't you? "
"How can you doubt my intentions?" Yan Li said with a smile, "I sincerely want to complete this deal. Which man in this world doesn't want to pluck the fruit of victory from you?"
Gu Caiwei said coquettishly, "Little b * tch, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial has always been your strength. Fine, as long as the result is beneficial to me, I don't mind being used by you."
"Then it's a deal. Before the Court Of Sword opens the mountain gate, I'll wait for you at the Red Moon Restaurant in White Water City." Yan Li said as he threw out a parcel, "When the time comes, you can look for me in this outfit."
"As for Fu 'er, please ask your fellow disciples to bring her back to the Lotus Seat. Be sure to take good care of her for me." He said as he stood up and looked at Gu Caiwei, "Don't let her be wronged."
"Of course, I guarantee she'll be unscathed." Gu Caiwei said seriously.
"I'll go to White Water City first." Yan Li said as he left.
After Yan Li left, Du Ziqi sneaked in quietly, "Weiwei, does Young Master Yan already know?"
"Do you really think he's a genius?" Gu Caiwei said impatiently, "Where is she? Hasn't she been found yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the round-faced girl trotted in and shouted happily, "Senior Sister Weiwei, she's been found."
