Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The henchmen below dared not utter a single word of dissent, and they all nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice.

"I just heard you say that Mount Buzhou was only recently created. What exactly is going on?"

When Li Xiu asked this question, the henchmen below were also confused and stared at each other blankly.

Li Xiu is only in this mountain, and no one knows where he is.

The henchmen were quite surprised that Li Xiu didn't even know about such worldly affairs.

After all, not long ago, for some unknown reason, a seven-colored ray of light shot into the sky from Mount Buzhou, and it could be seen in various parts of the world.

Moreover, a line of words was faintly visible within the glow of the sunset.

"Mount Buzhou has appeared in the world."

There is actually a second half of the sentence, but very few people can see clearly what it says.

However, those who saw it clearly were all utterly astonished.

After all, only the most seasoned old monsters could decipher those words.

The sect leader of the Giant Strength Sect can also be considered one of them.

When Mount Buzhou appeared in the world that day, right at his own mountain gate, such a huge celestial phenomenon occurred. How could the sect leader not be shocked?

Add to that the allure of the second half of the sentence, and you can only err on the side of caution.

That's why they went to such great lengths, sending out nearly all the disciples of the mountain sect to explore Buzhou Mountain!

Li Xiu was unaware of this background, but the group of henchmen realized that the guy in front of them seemed to be quite out of touch with the world.

They recounted everything they had seen to Li Xiu, word for word.

After hearing what these henchmen had to say, Li Xiu had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Looks like I've caught a lucky break!"

"second question."

"Who are you people, and what is the Giant Strength Sect?"

Upon hearing this second question, the henchmen below were no less surprised.

The guy in front of me doesn't seem like an idiot, so why is he asking such simple questions?

Of course, these people could only talk about it; they dared not say it aloud.

The relatively clever henchman explained, "We are all disciples of the Giant Strength Sect, but we are all peripheral members. We were sent here to search the mountain to see if anyone has gotten there first."

"And the Juli Sect is the closest sect to Buzhou Mountain. If you are walking up the mountain, you will definitely see our sect."

Li Xiu nodded, having also gained a general understanding.

However, he still had some doubts.

The reason given for searching the mountain to see if anyone else was far too weak.

So Li Xiu also transmitted his voice to Li Duotian, saying, "Give this guy some extra strength."

The next moment, the leader's scream rang out again.

"Why am I always the one who gets hurt?" the leader thought to himself.

“It’s understandable that the people below don’t know the news,” Li Xiu said innocently.

"So, I'm here to ask you."

"Brother, you said it, I would never lie about anything." Even your leader was scared.

These two guys are just being incredibly unreasonable.

They resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, and they even bully the weakest among the weak, showing no dignity whatsoever as a master.

"Listen carefully, if I think you're lying, I definitely won't let you off easily." Li Xiu was just trying to scare the guy first, to make him think twice about what he was going to say.

The leader quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"Alright, then listen carefully, why have you come to Buzhou Mountain?"

When the leader heard Li Xiu ask that question, he immediately froze.

He didn't want to talk about it, after all, this was something the sect leader had repeatedly reminded him of, forbidding him from mentioning the situation on the mountain to strangers.

When Li Xiu saw the leader standing there in a daze, he knew that this trip up the mountain would not be so simple.

Li Xiu showed no mercy to those who tried to lie to him.

Li Xiu gave Li Duotian a look, and Li Duotian increased the pressure on his hand a little more.

At that moment, the leader felt that if he used even a little more force, his fingers would be broken.

The excruciating pain also made him break out in a cold sweat.

Pain, threats, and other factors combined, finally got the leader to relent and say, "I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Our boss told us to go to Buzhou Mountain to search for treasure, saying that a treasure will be found there."

"It's just treasure hunting, nothing shocking, why hide it?" They thought they'd hooked a big fish, and this is all?

Li Xiu was also very unhappy. His expectations had been so much lowered, which was really frustrating.

It's understandable that Li Xiu, having been accustomed to so much deceit and treachery, would find it difficult to adapt to such simple and honest folk customs.

And the leader was telling the truth. Their boss had ordered them to go up the mountain to search for treasure, and bringing back news of any treasure would be considered a meritorious deed.

They take this matter very seriously, not just as a treasure hunt, and they obey all orders given to them without question.

In particular, the leader has already said that if you encounter people who are not from your sect, do not tell them what you are doing.

And it was for this simple reason that the leader did not immediately tell the truth when he was threatened again.

Another point is that when I saw Li Xiu and Li Duotian, I felt that these two people were too ordinary.

The leader thought these two were easy to bully, so he went up to cause trouble.

I just didn't expect to run into a brick wall.

Seeing that his superior's thinking was too simplistic, Li Xiu had no choice but to take the initiative to ask questions and analyze the consequences of this information.

"Besides your team, how many other teams are going up the mountain to search for treasure?"

"There are probably over a hundred teams," the leader answered the question with considerable pride.

After all, the Giant Strength Sect is no joke.

By recruiting many disciples, he could be considered a local tyrant.

"Any news from other teams?"

"I really don't know," the leader said.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu immediately gave Li Duo a wink.

Seeing that Li Duotian seemed about to exert himself again, the leader hurriedly pleaded, "Big brother, big brother, I really didn't know!"

Chapter 1339 Coming to the Door

"I knew it. Some of their teams brought back news of the treasure and received very generous rewards, that's all!"

"We don't know where the other teams went or where they started from."

The leader was terrified by Li Xiu's methods and quickly revealed everything he knew.

"If it were just treasure hunting, the Giant Strength Sect wouldn't be making such a big fuss," Li Xiu thought to himself.

"It seems we need to find some more sensible people."

Li Xiu turned his gaze back to the captured leader and asked, "You report news every day?"

“That’s right, brother. There’s a temporary camp on the mountain where an elder is responsible for receiving our feedback.”

Upon hearing this answer, Li Xiu burst out laughing.

Just when I was feeling sleepy, someone handed me a pillow.

Originally, Li Xiu did not want to confiscate the property.

After all, we are all cultivators, and any opportunities we have depend entirely on fate.

Now, Li Xiu realizes that things are not so simple, and he also harbors murderous intent.

Li Xiu will not come down the mountain until this matter is clarified.

After all, that's just Li Xiu's personality; he has to get to the bottom of things.

Moreover, Li Xiu had a premonition that this world was likely his last chance to break through.

If I can't break my own limits this time, then no matter how many times I try to travel through time in the future, it will be in vain.

"Looks like it's time to put my treasure-hunting skills to good use!"

"But right now, we need to take care of these clueless bastards first."

Li Xiu was not the kind of person to hesitate. He sent a message to Li Duotian, and the next moment, Li Duotian also acted swiftly, sending away all the Juli Sect guys who had come to cause trouble.

Li Xiu stared at the group of people expressionlessly, thinking to himself, "Looks like I'm going to make a name for myself this time."
