Chapter 577 Thirteen Culprits
The Guo family raises a pair of white eagles.

This pair is not only psychic, but can also recognize people. They are the main means used by Guo Jing and his wife to convey messages to Huang Yaoshi and other people from Peach Blossom Island.

After Cheng Ying sent the message via the white eagle, she returned to the lobby.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard my cousin Lu Wushuang giving advice to the others: "In fact, we might be able to find someone to help us."

Yang Guo asked doubtfully: "I wonder what Miss Lu is talking about..."

"It's Lu Ping!"

Lu Wushuang said with great energy: “I remember that you two have a very good relationship, right?”

"Now that his friend is in trouble, how can he not help?"

Yang Guo fell silent after hearing this.

In fact, hasn't he ever thought about asking Lu Ping for help?

At the beginning, the two of them, together with Duan Yu, said many things in Yanziwu, such as "I am lucky to make two friends in this life, and I have no regrets." Their friendship was so deep that they were just short of kneeling down to become sworn brothers.

However, the two had not been in contact for a long time. At the same time, Lu Ping had become a top figure in the martial arts world, and was the organizer and referee of this chess match. Yang Guo was really unsure of his attitude.

What's more, if you want to see Lu Ping, you must first climb up to the Eight Stars Terrace on the Wangbei Chaonan Peak.

However, Yang Guo had learned from Wang Chongyang that it was quite difficult to do this, and he was not sure whether he could make it.

Of course, compared with Lu Ping's attitude, the issue of whether or not he could get up there didn't seem to be a big deal.

After all, even if he really can't get up, he can still find someone who can help.

After careful consideration, Yang Guo made up his mind: no matter whether he could go up or not, and no matter what Lu Ping's attitude was, he would just go and try it first.

"Miss Lu's words make sense. I will go ask him right away. I'll trouble you to take care of the Guo residence."

After Yang Guo finished speaking, he returned to the room to visit Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and gave a few instructions to Xiaolongnu and Guo Fu. Then he faced north and south before going out.

Xiao Long Nu has always been obedient to Yang Guo. Although she is not familiar with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, she still agrees to all of Yang Guo's requests.

As for Guo Fu, after the death of Wu Da and Wu Xi, her personality has become much calmer than before.

Now that both of her parents, whom she had always relied on, had fallen ill at the same time, she suddenly became depressed and weak, and her past stubbornness and willfulness were reduced by 70% to 80%.

Half a day later, Yang Guo arrived at the North-facing South Peak.

After more than half a month of settling down, Hunyuantai is no longer as lively as it was at the beginning. Only a few nails left here by major forces are left, always paying attention to the changes.

It’s just that Lu Ping never came down, so these people’s work was fruitless, and no useful information could be passed back to the leader behind them.

Yang Guo first tried to climb the mountain, but as expected, he was knocked down by sword energy halfway.

The 'Heavenly Net Style' of the Ancient Tomb School is indeed a good physical skill, which can play a considerable role when fighting against the enemy. However, this light skill is not good at lifting and jumping, so Yang Guo is still unable to use it to climb up the Qi formation on the stone wall.

Fortunately, Yang Guo came well prepared this time. Seeing that the method of climbing the mountain didn't work, he simply set off fireworks.

Fireworks set off in broad daylight always attract attention.

Yang Guo's behavior soon attracted criticism from the onlookers.

"What is this kid doing? Why is he setting off fireworks in broad daylight?"

"Why would he come here specifically to set off fireworks? I just saw him trying to climb the chains, and now he's setting off fireworks. It's obvious that he wants to see Lu Ping."

"We have been guarding here for more than half a month, and we haven't even seen Lu Ping. Would he come down just because of a bunch of fireworks?"

"Who can say for sure? Have you tried it before?"

"……No."

"Neither do I, so who can guarantee that he won't come down? Maybe he's already tired of staying on the Eight Stars Terrace alone, and is just waiting for us to use various methods to get him to come down."

"But...but, using fireworks to attract people is a bit too childish, isn't it?"

"This method is indeed simple, but none of us thought of such a simple method before, right?"

Everyone was speechless, staring at the Eight Star Platform above, waiting for the result. Three seconds later, instead of waiting for Lu Ping to descend from the sky, everyone saw Yang Guo, who had been waiting with them, suddenly disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.

"What the hell?! The person is missing?!"

"What the hell is this magic trick??!"

"I know, that person must have been picked up!"

Yang Guo’s disappearance instantly caused an uproar among the spies.

Everyone's eyes widened, shocked at Lu Ping's methods, and curiously looked left and right at the place where Yang Guo had stood before, guessing his whereabouts.

"Is this an earth escape technique? Or some kind of space transfer technique?"

"So we can really get up this way?! Damn it... We wasted so many days here for nothing! If I had known this method would work, I would have done it a long time ago!"

"It's not too late now, you guys, go back and prepare the fireworks!"

"You are stupid. The first person to set off the fireworks can go up, but the second and third may not be able to do so."

"I have to give it a try. It won't hurt anything. What if I really get in?"

"Then you should think about how to get down next time."

Just as everyone was discussing and preparing to go back to prepare fireworks, Yang Guo had already arrived at the Eight Stars Terrace.
He only felt a flash before his eyes and his head felt dizzy, and then the scenery in front of him changed. The scene around him was completely different from the previous second, and a long-lost voice came from behind him.

"Long time no see, Brother Yang."

The moment he saw the fireworks flying up from Hunyuantai, Lu Ping knew that someone must be looking for him.

He came to the edge of the Eight Star Terrace and looked down, and found that the person below was Yang Guo. He immediately realized that he used this method because he could not get up.

Lu Ping then waved his hand and used magic to bring the person up.

"You came out at this time and came here to set off fireworks to find me. Did you encounter an emergency?"

"There is indeed an important matter that requires your help. I heard the details..."

Yang Guo did not hold back and directly recounted everything that the thieves had done when they broke into Guo's residence last night.

"...Now Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo are seriously injured in bed, the two children are unknown whether they are alive or dead, and the enemy has disappeared without a trace. I can only come to you for help."

Upon hearing the bad news, Lu Ping fell into deep thought.

"A Knife That Travels a Thousand Miles, Iron Umbrella Scholar, Hand-holding Scholar, Poisonous Hand Champion, Knife That Does Not Leave a Soul, and the Ghost Talisman Sect's leader who uses the 'Three-foot Sky Lock'..."

"If I remember correctly, they should be members of the organization called 'Thirteen Evils'."

Yang Guo didn't expect to gain anything, and asked hurriedly: "Thirteen culprits? What kind of organization is this?"

"The Thirteen Killers... This organization has been established for a long time and consists of thirteen killers with mysterious identities."

"It is unknown whether these people have been replaced or whether there is another leader behind them, but they have committed many brutal crimes in the past twenty years and are wanted by officials in the Song Dynasty."

In fact, although the Thirteen Murderers committed many major crimes, few people in the world knew of their existence because they always wore masks to hide their identities when committing crimes and always handled them cleanly afterwards.

Even the government of the two Song dynasties, although they knew that there was such an organization in the world, knew nothing about the identities of its members.

Fortunately, the person Yang Guo found was Lu Ping, who was able to answer his questions at this time. If it were anyone else, he would be doomed to return with regret today.

Yang Guo had little experience in the martial arts world, and he did not realize for a moment how Lu Ping knew the identity information of each person since the identities of the thirteen culprits were mysterious. He was stunned again after hearing these things.

"If that's the case, they are now targeting the Southern Song chess warriors. Could it be that they have already colluded with the people in the Northern Song court?"

Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "It's possible."

"But if there is another culprit behind the 'Thirteen Evils', then their position may not necessarily be on the side of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"After all, openly assassinating the Southern Song Dynasty chess warrior will definitely provoke conflict between the two sides again, so this incident may be caused by a third party, who wants to play a 'fisherman profiting from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam'."
