Stars fall and locust trees grow

When Li Chi opened his eyes again, it was already the next day at noon.

Gu Chuanlin was not in the room. There was only him sleeping in a strange posture and a ball of fur with its four hooves facing the sky on the bed.

The feeling of hunger and pain in the body had long disappeared, and even the blood-stained clothes had been replaced with new ones.

Li Chi was deeply gratified by this.

so far so good.

It was a close call, but there was no danger. He was not destined to die. If he really survived a great disaster, he will surely be blessed in the future.

When the fur ball lying on its back saw that Li Chi had woken up, it nimbly rolled in front of him, licking his face fiercely and wagging its tail desperately.

"My fur ball is still the cutest!"

Li Chi picked up the ball of fur and kissed it hard a few times before climbing up from the bed.

I finally put on my shoes amid the tearing of the fur ball. Just as I walked to the door of the room, I heard the voices of Zeng Muchan and others outside.

"After you junior brothers have packed up, we can set off to escort them back to Mingyuejian... Huaiyi and Liujing are at the highest level, so they will stay behind to protect Brother Li and Brother Wei..."

"My little master and I will be able to return at noon tomorrow at the latest. Then we will go to Jiangzhou together and treat it as going out for training."

Aha? !

Gu Chuanlin, Wei Li and Zeng Muhan are actually going to Jiangzhou with him?

And what about the grumpy Gu Huaiyi and the baby-faced Liu Jing?

Li Chi was inwardly surprised when he heard Zeng Muhan continue to say, "I heard that the chief disciple Fu Xiling sent out by the Changsheng Palace is also missing."

Fu Xiling?

Isn’t that the Senior Brother Fu that Zhu Weiqing mentioned who can use a sword to attract lightning?

Li Chi pushed the door open with one hand.

"You just said that Fu Xiling from Changsheng Palace is missing?! What happened?"

Gu Chuanlin, Zeng Muhan and Wei Li all turned around.

Wei Li asked: "Are you awake? Do you still feel any discomfort?"

Li Chi said: "I feel comfortable all over, and I have no discomfort! By the way, what on earth were you talking about just now?"

Zeng Muhan said, "Yesterday evening, a disciple from the Changsheng Palace reported that several sect members who came to attend the ceremony were attacked on their way back. This incident should be related to the group of black-robed men who entered the city the day before yesterday. It is said that Fu Xiling was sent by the Changsheng Palace to monitor them."

Li Chi stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"There were only nine black-robed men we saw that day. Not to mention that there were many people from various sects who came to this ceremony, and their strength was not weak, but the directions of their return journeys were all over the world. It was impossible for the nine of them to move around between the various sects at such a fast speed to pursue and launch a surprise attack. So, is it possible that there are more than nine black-robed men?"

Furukawa Lindao: "These nine people should be just one of many teams."

Li Chi nodded, "That's right! There must be other black-robed men lying in ambush around Shuozhou City. By the way, what are the characteristics of those sects that were attacked?"

Zeng Muhan said: "They are all low-level sects whose names I have never heard of. There is nothing special about them."

Li Chi was puzzled: "Are they deliberately targeting these low-level sects?"

Furukawa Lin: “No.”

"That means these sects were unlucky and happened to pass by their ambush location..."

Furukawa Lin: "So, it should be random."

"But what is their purpose in attacking these unknown low-level sects? Also, what was the purpose of the group of people who blatantly entered the city the day before yesterday..."

Gu Chuanlin: "Maybe there is something in Shuozhou City that they are interested in."

Li Chi pondered: "Could it be the Palace of Eternal Life?"

Gu Chuanlin: "The Hall of Eternal Life was not attacked."

Wei Li said: "Perhaps, a sect or a person who came to participate in the ceremony has something they want."

Li Chi suddenly understood.

"You fat guy, you usually look greedy, mean and unreliable, but you hit the nail on the head at the critical moment! I just don't know who their target will be this time."

At this time, Gu Huaiyi and Liu Jing happened to come back from outside after getting news.

Gu Chuanlin asked directly: "How many sects are there in the city that have not left yet?"

Gu Huaiyi replied, "Because many sects are from other continents, in order to return as quickly as possible, most of the sects set out after the ceremony ended yesterday, and the rest of the sects also set out this morning. Currently, in addition to us, there are only five sects left in Shuozhou City that have not yet set out."

"Which five?"

"Twenty-Nine Mountains, Nine Nether Phoenix Feather Pavilion, Langli Academy, Xilin Valley, and Tianxian Pavilion. However, except for the Twenty-Nine Mountains who plan to stay for a few more days, the other four sects will also set off soon."

Li Chi said: "This is quite interesting."

Gu Huaiyi said disdainfully: "What do you know now?"

Li Chi said: "As a disciple of Mingyuejian, you must have learned the history of spiritual cultivation."

"That's natural!"

"Since you've learned it, you must know about Tian Dao Yuan!"

"nonsense!"

"Who has the five holy weapons that flew out when Tian Daozi suddenly realized the Heavenly Gate now?"

!!!

Gu Huaiyi said: "So, you think it is related to the holy weapon?!"

Li Chi turned to Gu Chuan Lin and said, "Gu Chuan Lin, what do you think?"

Gu Chuanlin groaned and said, "It's not impossible."

Zeng Muhan said, "However, the people sent by the Twenty-Nine Mountains, the Nine Nether Phoenix Feather Pavilion, and the Langli Academy to attend the ceremony are all important figures in the sect. If the group of black-robed people want to attack them, I'm afraid they won't get any benefit. Moreover, their actions have already alerted the enemy. I'm sure these sects must have made sufficient preparations when they left."

Li Chi said: "Even if they are fully prepared, there is no guarantee that there won't be one or two unlucky disciples who get caught. If they are tortured, they might be able to force out the location of the holy weapon."

Gu Huaiyi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Since you are here for the holy weapon, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to stay here."

Li Chi snorted, then glanced at the fur ball that was grinding its teeth on his shoes, and then said to Gu Chuanlin: "Um... can the fur ball stay here?!"

Furukawa Lin said: "Okay."

Li Chi grinned: "Thank you, little master!"

After the important matter was resolved, Li Chi thought of Zhu Weiqing again.

That girl seems to admire Fu Xiling very much. Now that Fu Xiling is missing, she must be very worried. Why not contact her and ask about the situation?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth again: "By the way, where is the jade balance that Qingqing gave me?!"

Zeng Muhan gestured for him to look at his fingers.

Li Chi lowered his head in confusion, and then he found that he was wearing a transparent crystal ring on the middle finger of his left hand. The material of the ring was very similar to the crystal bracelet worn by Gu Chuanlin, and it seemed that they should be a set.

Zeng Muhan said: "That is the Tianjing Jade Ring that Junior Master doesn't use. Your Yuheng and map are inside it."

"Sky Crystal Jade?!"

Seeing his confused look, Gu Huaiyi said with some jealousy: "Tian Jing Yu is the jade crystal hidden in the meteorite from outer space. You don't even know this, what a waste of natural resources!"

Jade crystal from meteorites from outer space?

Isn't that very rare and very expensive?

Li Chi secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of Gu Chuanlin! He is really rich and powerful.
