PS: Update complete, I'm really sorry.
Chu Li nodded slowly and glided up to a loft on the stone wall. He saw the coffin in the middle of the first floor.
The temperature in the loft was very low and there were huge ice blocks all around.
Shu Qingdie lay quietly in the coffin as if she had fallen asleep.
Chu Li looked at her face. He felt guilty and regretful, heavy and angry.
After a long time, he collected his thoughts and took a deep breath to cheer himself up. The only thing he could do was to take revenge and kill her murderer!
He used the Omniscient Mirror to see through Shu Qingdie's body. He wanted to know what kind of martial arts was used to kill her and find the murderer to avenge her.
Unfortunately, other than the knife marks on her body, there were no other external injuries. She did not even have any internal injuries. It was obvious that she was killed in one strike.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
It was obvious that the opponent's martial arts was far better than hers or she was caught off guard. She did not expect the opponent to kill her, or someone close to her.
Footsteps were heard. Chu Li did not turn his head but the Omniscient Mirror had already seen the person approaching.
Li Hanyan was dressed in a light green gown. She had a slender figure and a face as white as jade. She stepped into the loft and stood behind Chu Li. "Brother Chu …"
Chu Li turned to look at her and nodded.
Li Hanyan wrung her slender hands and lowered her head. "Brother Chu, it's my fault. I couldn't protect Sister Su."
Chu Li turned to look at her.
Li Hanyan said, "I wanted to go with her but Sister Su said that the two of us would attract too much attention. So, she left the valley by herself. I couldn't insist on going with her. In the end …"
Chu Li said, "What does she want?"
"To send a letter." Li Hanyan said, "It's a letter written by the pavilion leader herself."
"To whom?" Chu Li asked.
Li Hanyan shook her head. "Only Sister Su knows."
Chu Li nodded. "Where did you find Miss Su?"
"In a forest twenty miles away." Li Hanyan said.
"Who found her?" Chu Li frowned.
Li Hanyan said, "It was me."
Chu Li stared at her.
Li Hanyan lowered her head in embarrassment. "I wanted to go out and take a look."
She knew that the disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion were holed up because Du Feng had killed King An. The Emperor had issued an order to hunt down and kill Du Feng. Since the Snow Lunar Pavilion and Du Feng were involved, they would become public enemies, so it was best for them not to go out.
However, deep in her bones, she had an urge to pursue excitement and adventure. She sneaked out without telling her seniors, but she did not expect to find Shu Qingdie's corpse by accident.
Chu Li said, "Bring me there to have a look!"
"Yes." Li Hanyan quickly nodded.
The two of them exited the valley of the Snow Lunar Pavilion and entered a forest.
It was already early winter, but the forest was still lush and green. Chu Li furrowed his brows and scanned his surroundings. He noticed that there were more than twenty martial arts masters hiding in the dark. They were all staring at the ravine from afar.
Although they could not enter due to the protection of the formation, they did not give up. Every one of them was filled with murderous intent and wanted to ambush the disciples of the Snow Lunar Pavilion.
Chu Li's face was gloomy. He glided onto the treetop, his eyes were like lightning. He shouted in a deep voice, "Anyone who enters within a hundred feet of the Snow Lunar Pavilion will be killed without mercy!"
He had been suppressing his raging anger. He wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson. Now that he saw more than twenty martial arts masters secretly staring at the Snow Lunar Pavilion, he was even more furious. He had a strong urge to cripple these people.
"Hey!" A few cold snorts came from the forest.
Chu Li swept his gaze over and said coldly, "You can try!"
"Then let's try." A young man glided out and appeared in front of Chu Li. "Who are you?"
Chu Li said coldly, "Chu Li."
"Du Feng of the South and Chu Li of the North. Ha, I've heard of your name for a long time!" The young man sneered disapprovingly. "But what do you have to do with the Snow Lunar Pavilion? Why are you working so hard for them?"
"Why did you come to the Snow Lunar Pavilion?" Chu Li scoffed. "Is it to find out Du Feng's whereabouts? There's no need to go to the Snow Lunar Pavilion. Du Feng has already escaped from the Ji Dynasty and fled to the Fu Dynasty. Even if you flip the Snow Lunar Pavilion upside down, you won't be able to find Du Feng! "
"Really?" The young man was stunned.
Chu Li said, "You have one more step and you'll be within a hundred feet!"
"Chu Li, although you're famous, we're not to be trifled with. I'm going to step on you!" As he said that, he glided three steps forward. He had already stepped into the hundred feet dividing line and looked at Chu Li proudly.
Chu Li swung his arm.
Suddenly, a 'chi' sound was heard. The flying blade hit the young man.
The young man flew out and crashed into a pine tree. He was motionless.
The flying blade pinned him to the tree like a nail. He immediately fainted.
Chu Li glanced at the rest of the people who were hiding and sneered. "If you're not convinced, come out. I want to see who dares to behave atrociously in the Snow Lunar Pavilion!"
His move shocked everyone.
The young man who came out earlier was a genius. He was already a Grandmaster at such a young age. His cultivation level was profound and not weaker than the rest of them. Yet, he could not even withstand one move from Chu Li. They were shocked and thought that they would only be humiliating themselves if they came out.
Chu Li scoffed coldly and glided forward with Li Hanyan.
Li Hanyan praised, "This is how we should deal with them. These people are too despicable. They're like hungry wolves that can pounce on us at any time. Yet, we can't do anything to them. We have to be on guard!"
Chu Li said, "Next time, we'll just kill them directly!"
"They hide far away. They run away as soon as I chase after them!" Li Hanyan said helplessly, "Those who come here are all top-notch in Light-body Technique. Once they start running, I can't catch up to them. How annoying."
Chu Li frowned and nodded.
The two of them finally arrived at an empty spot in the forest.
Chu Li saw the bloodstains on the withered grass and a few trees that were also stained with blood. He could tell that Shu Qingdie had died a horrible death. Fresh blood gushed out, and it made him even angrier. His killing intent soared.
Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, everything on the ground was clearly visible.
Li Hanyan stood at the side and looked at him in confusion.
Chu Li scanned the surroundings and shook his head in disappointment. He could not find any trace of the murderer. It was as if this person had never appeared. Moreover, he did it cleanly and left no traces.
Li Hanyan asked softly, "Big Brother Chu, can you find the murderer?"
Chu Li shook his head. "He should be lying in ambush here and killed Miss Shu with a single slash. So … where should he be hiding …"
He looked around and finally stopped on a hollow tree. He glided into the hollow tree and scanned every inch of the tree with his electric gaze. Finally, he found a strand of hair and suddenly, a cold smile appeared on his face.
With this strand of hair, he would be able to find the owner of the hair. Then, he would know whether Shu Qingdie was killed or not.
"Let's go!" Chu Li waved his hand.
Li Hanyan walked over in confusion.
Chu Li grabbed her wrist and disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in a forest. A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged opposite of him. He was eating his rations. When he saw the two of them, he immediately grabbed his long knife.
"Who are you?" Chu Li asked in a deep voice.
He squinted his eyes and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He noticed the force of the Heavenly Demonic Energy. The middle-aged man in front of him was a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
"Did you kill Shu Qingdie?" Chu Li continued to ask.
"Who is Shu Qingdie?" The middle-aged man frowned and was on guard.
Chu Li said coldly, "Why did you kill Shu Qingdie?"
