Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
He had an impression of this Phoenix Tree Faction. Back then, at the Leisure Cloud Pub, a bunch of guys who provoked them had their legs broken by Zhao Ying.
It was said that they never went to the Leisure Cloud Pub again. Perhaps they were too ashamed to go there. Zhao Ying's cultivation was not considered top-notch among the Innate Rankers, but her swordsmanship was superb. Ordinary Innate Rankers could not stop her.
Xue Ling said, "Master also remembers this Phoenix Tree Faction, right?"
Chu Li grunted. "Of course I remember!"
"I reckon they'll have to settle the score with the Phoenix Tree Faction this time." Xue wrinkled her nose and scoffed, "They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. They should be taught a lesson!"
The Phoenix Tree Faction had recently risen and it seemed that quite a number of Innate Masters had appeared. They were insufferably arrogant. They did not even put the High Duke's Public House in their eyes and dared to provoke the High Duke's Public House.
Last time, it was at Leisure Cloud Pub. This time, he was killing people in the city. He was getting bolder and bolder!
Chu Li's fingers lightly tapped on the tiger bone casket. A strange sensation came from the pad of his finger, and his heart became calmer. His mind was filled with thoughts, and in an instant, a few thoughts appeared and disappeared.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew about the strength of the High Duke's Public House. The Phoenix Tree Faction was not a fool. No matter how much they wanted to provoke them, they had to have a sense of propriety. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, they could not do it this way. Killing people in the city would be a disaster!
The High Duke's Public House would directly pay a visit to ask for the person. If the person was handed over, the Phoenix Tree Faction would lose all its prestige. If the person was not handed over, the High Duke's Public House would directly destroy the Phoenix Tree Faction and would not be courteous at all.
However, it was unlikely that he was framed. The Third Lady, Xiao Qi, was a perceptive person, so he could not hide anything from her.
"I'll go take a look!" Chu Li stood up and put away the tiger bone box.
Xue's eyes lit up. "Sure."
The two of them arrived at the Stargazing Tower. Suru was coming downstairs, her apricot yellow gown fluttering in the wind.
"Chu Li, what's the matter?" She pointed at the armchair and gestured for him to sit down. "The Lady is resting."
Chu Li sat on the armchair while Xue stood behind him.
"Chief, was there a murder in the city last night?"
"Yes, Lady Xiao has already dealt with it." Su Ru rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
"One of the killers has been caught. Where is he?"
"Put him on the Thunder God Island."
"I want to see this person."
Su Ru put down her hand. Frowning, she glared at him. "What are you doing? Young Miss has already interrogated him. He's a disciple of Phoenix Tree Sect! "
"Doesn't Chief feel that something is wrong?" Chu Li shook his head. "Does the Phoenix Tree Faction's disciple really have such guts?"
"When these guys are impulsive, what can't they do?"
"I want to see why they would do such a thing. I can't help but feel restless. "
"As long as they dare to kill people in the city, they deserve to be killed." Suru said disapprovingly, "No matter what the reason is!"
"Chief, accompany me to Thunder God Island!" Chu Li said.
Su Ru sighed and looked at his calm expression. She said helplessly, "Eldest Master has already sent out the Protectors. Perhaps he has already caught the other murderer. What else is there to pursue? "
Chu Li closed fist saluted and said nothing more.
"Alright, alright." Suru saw his persistence and sighed. "You're a third-rank now, I'll listen to you!"
Chu Li laughed.
In terms of rank, Suru was not as good as him. However, no one in the fu dared to talk about rank in front of her. No matter how high her rank was, for the sake of Third Young Miss, they could not order her around.
Su Ru sighed. "I'll inform Lady Xiao."
Chu Li nodded.
She went upstairs and came down quickly. It was obvious that Xiao Qi did not want to see Chu Li.
The three of them stepped onto the small boat and it shot out like an arrow. They traveled west on the lake for fifteen minutes and arrived at a small green island. It was Thunder God Island.
Thunder God Island was planted with pine trees and it was green all year round.
From afar, Chu Li could feel the murderous aura. Although the security of Thunder God Island was not as good as Jade Guardian Island, it was still very tight. Ordinary masters could not break in.
Su Ru picked up her waist tag and said, "Su Ru from Jade Guardian Island greets the owner of Thunder Island!"
"Hehe …" A long laugh rang out, like a muffled clap of thunder rolling over.
Chu Li raised his eyebrow. What a profound cultivation level, a Grandmaster!
The small boat docked on the shore. A short and fat middle-aged man was already standing on the shore.
His round face was red. His small eyes were bright. It was the owner of Thunder God Island, Lei Zhen.
"Miss Su, what brings you here?" Lei Zhen laughed. His deep voice was like a subwoofer in the future, shaking people's blood.
Su Ru closed fist saluted, "Thunder Island Owner. I want to see the culprit that was brought here yesterday! "
"The kid from Phoenix Tree Faction?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Yes," Su Ru said.
Lei Zhen said, "Follow me!"
He glanced at Chu Li and Xue Ling but did not ask anything. Chu Li closed fist saluted and did not say anything.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to look around. The island was full of flowers and green trees. The scenery was great.
Lei Zhen brought them down from an entrance. They came to a depth of thirty meters underground. There were many spacious stone rooms. Each room was about a hundred square meters. Most of the stone walls were full of potholes. It was like a training room.
Along the way, Chu Li saw people in five rooms. They were all young and strong. They were all cultivating and looked no different from ordinary people.
They stopped in front of a stone room. Lei Zhen took out a key and opened the iron lock. He pushed open the iron door and entered the stone room.
A young man in black was lying on the stone bed. He was not moving.
Lei Zhen said, "This guy always wants to commit suicide. We can only seal his acupuncture points."
Su Ru nodded and said to Chu Li, "It's this guy. Ask away!"
Chu Li looked at the young man in black and shook his head, "He's a death warrior. He's loyal!"
The young man in black was slender and handsome. His eyes stared at Su Ru with hatred. His resentment made people feel cold.
Su Ru ignored his gaze and turned her head, "He's from Phoenix Tree Faction?"
Chu Li nodded slowly and waved his hand.
Su Ru sighed, "Alright! Island Master Lei, let's go out and wait. "
Lei Zhen looked at Chu Li and looked at the young man in black. He smiled, "Alright, let's go out!"
He was actually a little worried. He was worried that Chu Li would kill them. Then, his responsibility would be heavy. Luckily, Su Ru was there.
When everyone left, only Chu Li was left. He casually glanced at the young man in black. "You entered Phoenix Tree Faction when you were young?"
"You have a grudge with the House of High Duke?"
"Have you seen your faction leader?"
"There are many masters in the faction, right?"
"Why did you kill those two?"
"Hey, that's interesting! What kind of masters are there in the faction? "
The young man in black did not move. He glanced at him with contempt.
As Chu Li asked questions, his face gradually became gloomy. He went straight out of the stone room. Su Ru and the other two were waiting outside.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Thank you, Island Master Lei. Chief, let's go!"
"Let's go." Su Ru turned and walked out.
She knew that Chu Li had the same ability as Lady Xiao. He could see through the details and see through people's hearts.
Chu Li's footsteps were hurried. Su Ru saw that his expression was strange and hurriedly quickened her pace. She just stepped on the small boat and Chu Li's figure flashed and disappeared.
"Looks like it's really urgent." Su Ru shook her head.
She and Xue Ling drove the small boat together. Under their joint efforts, the small boat was as fast as a gust of wind. It took a quarter of an hour to come and only five minutes to go back.
Chu Li appeared on the third floor of the Stargazing Tower. Xiao Qi was channeling on the couch and opened her eyes.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and said, "Lady Xiao, Phoenix Tree Faction is a trap!"
"Hmm —?" Xiao Qi looked at him calmly.
Chu Li said, "The Ren Public House has Grandmasters waiting in Phoenix Tree Faction … How many did the Public House send to Phoenix Tree Faction?"
"Ten Innate Masters." Xiao Qi frowned.
"Xi Wu from the Ren Public House is in Phoenix Tree Faction!" Chu Li shook his head and sighed, "Last night's case was also planned in advance. The couple were assassins."
