With his Omniscient Mirror and Heaven's Eye, he was able to see Zhao Haiyuan's death.
"Let's go and take a look!" Chu Li said.
He did not care about Zhao Haiyuan's life or death, but he did not want to be the scapegoat. If he blamed Zhao Haiyuan's death on him, it would be fine if he killed him, but he would not be happy if he was the scapegoat.
He grabbed Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue and disappeared.
Fu Caiwei shook her head and disappeared too. She could catch up with Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue.
The four of them appeared in a dense forest. At this time, the sun had already set. The evening mist was heavy, and light smoke was everywhere.
A handsome young man stood beside Zhao Haiyuan, looking down at him. The sword in his hand was still stained with blood.
"Junior Brother Lu?" Fu Caiwei was surprised.
Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue fist saluted. "Senior Brother Lu!"
The handsome young man was dressed in a purple robe. His expression was dignified and solemn. He glanced at the four of them and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve. He gently wiped the blood off the long sword, and the sword returned to its sheath.
Then, he fist saluted and looked at Chu Li without looking at Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue.
"Junior Brother Lu, this is Chu Li," Fu Caiwei said.
She then said to Chu Li, "This is Lu Zhongshan, a disciple of Taihao Peak."
Chu Li nodded as a greeting.
Lu Zhongshan looked at Fu Caiwei. "Senior Sister Fu, why are you here?"
"Why did you kill Zhao Haiyuan? Do you know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into?" Fu Caiwei frowned and said angrily.
"I killed him. Can't I kill a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion?" Lu Zhongshan smiled faintly and said disapprovingly.
"I didn't kill him if I could." Fu Caiwei sighed. "Our relationship with the Heaven Shaking Pavilion has always been tense. Now that things have changed, the Heaven Shaking Pavilion will not forgive us and will take your life."
"Taihao Peak is not to be trifled with." Lu Zhongshan scoffed. "Do you think we can take their lives just because they say so?"
"Why must they kill Zhao Haiyuan?" Fu Caiwei asked. "Is there a deep grudge?"
"He asked for it!" Lu Zhongshan said, "He stole the fortuitous encounter from me!"
Fu Caiwei looked at him in surprise.
Lu Zhongshan said, "Senior Sister Fu, I originally saw a monastery on a mountain, but I didn't expect it to be empty. I didn't get anything. I only saw Zhao Haiyuan's shadow. He even smiled at me proudly before escaping."
"… Who asked you to be a step too late." Fu Caiwei sighed.
"Senior Sister Fu, don't you feel guilty for saying that?" Lu Zhongshan snappily said: "Zhao Haiyuan must have calculated that I would have a fortuitous encounter, so he took a step ahead of me. He's really courting death!"
He did not wait for Fu Caiwei to speak and snorted, saying, "I know that the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Tower have this bad habit of snatching other people's fortuitous encounters, but I never thought that they would be so bold as to dare to snatch it from us. If I don't kill him, the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Tower will definitely take advantage of us and look down on us more and more. If this continues, it might be the Heaven Shaking Tower that is stronger than us!"
"You're thinking too far ahead!" Fu Caiwei stared at him with a faint smile, the corners of her white lips curled.
She knew that most of what he said was nonsense. Junior Brother Lu was only angry at Zhao Haiyuan for snatching his fortuitous encounter, so he wanted to kill him. After killing him, he found an excuse and talked about righteousness.
Lu Zhongshan knew that he could not hide it from Fu Caiwei, so he said helplessly, "Senior Sister Fu, it's too late to say anything now. If the Heaven Shaking Tower really dares to come after us, we can still stand. It's their fault for snatching our fortuitous encounter first!"
"It's useless for you to say this to me. You should talk to the Peak Leader!" Fu Caiwei waved her hand.
She looked at Zhao Haiyuan, then at Chu Li.
Chu Li sighed. "Seems like resurrection? There's a limit to the number of times. "
If that was the case, Zhao Haiyuan's death was related to him. If he had not killed him twice, Zhao Haiyuan would have been able to escape death this time.
He suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
A few rays of light flashed in the void, then six elders slowly appeared.
They were all wearing green robes, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were cold.
"Who killed Zhao Haiyuan!?" A thin old man snorted in a deep voice.
"Me!" Lu Zhongshan raised his hand and said proudly, "Are you the elders of the Heaven Shaking Tower?"
The four elders' eyes suddenly lit up and became colder.
"Who are you?" The thin elder asked.
"Lu Zhongshan of the Heaven Shaking Tower!"
"Heaven Shaking Tower!" The four elders' eyes changed again.
The thin elder glanced at Fu Caiwei and the other three and frowned. "The four of you are also disciples of the Heaven Shaking Tower?"
"That's right," Fu Caiwei said. "Fu Caiwei."
"The four of you attacked together?" The thin elder asked, his eyes burning like a torch.
"I killed Zhao Haiyuan alone." Lu Zhongshan scoffed. "It has nothing to do with Senior Sister Fu and the others. Why would we need to work together to kill Zhao Haiyuan?"
Fu Caiwei said, "Actually, Zhao Haiyuan wanted to do something to me. Junior Brother Lu saw it and attacked out of anger."
The thin elder sneered. "What a joke!"
No matter how impulsive Zhao Haiyuan was, he would not dare to be rude to Fu Caiwei. Fu Caiwei was the youth champion and one of the top masters in the world. Zhao Haiyuan would not dare to do anything bad to her.
"Senior Sister Fu!" Lu Zhongshan yelled.
Fu Caiwei's words had tarnished her reputation, but it had lessened his sin.
Seeing someone trying to harm a Senior Sister of the same sect and killing her out of anger, no matter in the eyes of the sect's elders, it was something that could be easily brushed aside and even encouraged.
Even if there was a punishment, it would just be a gesture and not a heavy one.
He was extremely grateful and shook his head. "Senior Sister Fu, you shouldn't have said this!"
Chu Li looked at Fu Caiwei.
She was ruthless. Zhao Haiyuan died and was accused of molesting her. Although Zhao Haiyuan had bad intentions, he treated her wholeheartedly. She did not hesitate to frame him. This made Chu Li afraid.
Fu Caiwei glanced at him and said faintly, "Junior Brother Lu saved my life."
Lu Zhongshan shook his head and did not argue anymore. Otherwise, he would ruin Senior Sister Fu's good intentions.
Chu Li did not say anything.
Sun Mingyue said coldly, "If you can't have it, then destroy it. Is this the tyranny of a disciple of the Heaven Shaking Tower?"
As soon as she said this, the four elders frowned.
They were originally sure that Fu Caiwei was talking nonsense but after Sun Mingyue said this, they were skeptical.
Zhao Haiyuan was an elite disciple of the Heaven Shaking Tower. He was used to having a smooth life and always kept his word. If he wanted something, he would do anything to get it. However, Fu Caiwei was not a woman who could get what she wanted just because she wanted it.
Zhao Haiyuan must have lost his patience. His love turned into hatred, and he wanted to kill her.
Under these circumstances, it was possible that he was blinded by greed. Plus, Zhao Haiyuan had many fortuitous encounters and obtained powerful treasures. It was not impossible for him to kill Fu Caiwei.
Fu Caiwei stepped forward. "If you want to kill Junior Brother Lu, you'll have to get past us first!"
Chu Li turned to look behind him again.
As the void twisted, another six elders in green appeared. Their expressions were cold and their eyes were like ice. They were the elders of the Heaven Shaking Tower.
