Chapter 267: #267 - Preliminary Study

Having done such a thing, death would not atone for it, and death is certain.

Instantly, he thought of the Demonic Sect.

Even if the Worry-Free Sect disciples were arrogant, they wouldn't do something that would certainly lead to death.

This is something only Demonic Sect disciples would do.

"Join the Demonic Sect..." Chu Qingyan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. The disciples of the four major sects look down on the Demonic Sect disciples and have always looked down on them. They wouldn't join the Demonic Sect."

"Uncle, what attracts people most to the Demonic Sect's cultivation methods is their speed. They don't require long periods of arduous training and can easily obtain tyrannical power. Some disciples will always be unable to resist the temptation, whether it's the former four major sects or the current four major sects, it's unavoidable."

"No," Chu Qingyan hesitated, "The price of shortcuts is too high, they all know it, they won't mess around."

"I'm just afraid that some people are too arrogant and think they can resist the influence of the Demonic Sect's cultivation methods," Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, "Many such people have died, right?"

"There haven't been any in recent years, but that was indeed the case in the beginning."

"Uncle, people are forgetful. So many years have passed, they have forgotten the lessons of the past."

"If a Worry-Free Sect disciple joins the Demonic Sect... which sect would it be?"

"I'm afraid that's the case," Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Then it will be troublesome. By the way, have you caught the person?"

A Demonic Sect that uses schemes and tricks is the most terrifying.

The most terrifying people are often brave and resourceful. Those Demonic Sect disciples are often only brave, but lack resourcefulness.

Now that they have made up for their lack of resourcefulness, the Demonic Sect is like a tiger with wings.

"We haven't been able to catch the person," Chu Qingyan slowly said.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him in confusion.

Chu Qingyan glared at him: "He hid in Worry-Free Peak, there's no way to go in and catch him."

He really didn't want to say this himself, but this kid wasn't being clever when he should be.

"Even a Grandmaster can't?"

"No."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "This is relying on having backing... Then how can we catch the person?"

Chu Qingyan snorted: "We can only tell the Worry-Free Sect and let the Worry-Free Sect deal with him. We can't go in and catch him."

Chu Zhiyuan's face darkened.

This is like a lawless land, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if his territory had been snatched away, and he couldn't wait to snatch it back directly.

"Will the Worry-Free Sect protect him?"

"If the Worry-Free Sect figures out this kind of thing, they will never tolerate it, they will only punish him even more severely, making it unbearable."

".... It always feels awkward," Chu Zhiyuan said, "How to deal with it is entirely up to the Worry-Free Sect, the imperial court can't decide."

"There's no way around it. Without the original four major sects, we wouldn't have today's Great Jing, and we wouldn't have the good days of our Chu family. We can only endure it."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's true, it's really not appropriate to kick away the ladder after crossing the river... So... is that the end of it?"

"That's all we can do about the Xunzhou City matter," Chu Qingyan snorted, "We must severely punish those officials!"

This is venting his anger.

The anger that was supposed to be vented on the Worry-Free Sect disciple was also added to these officials.

Chu Zhiyuan could imagine that none of these officials would probably be left, and they would all be driven away.

The lighter ones would be demoted and transferred, and the heavier ones would be directly dismissed and never be employed again, which meant that their lives were over and they could no longer be officials.

"Uncle, the matter of the Worry-Free Sect disciple is small," Chu Zhiyuan said, "If a new Demonic Sect really emerges, then it will be no small matter."

Chu Qingyan also realized the seriousness of the matter and said in a deep voice: "I will report this to the Emperor."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Chu Qingyan said: "Yuan'er, do you really want to go with Li Hongzhao to Lu Yaofeng's cave?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Haven't the Grandmasters found it yet?"

After he reported it earlier, the Grandmasters of the Grandmaster's Mansion have already been dispatched.

The Grandmaster's cave also has an attraction for the Grandmasters.

Chu Qingyan said helplessly: "If this cave was easy to find, it would have been found long ago, and we wouldn't have waited until now."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "If the Grandmasters are following behind, they won't be able to hide it from Su Qiuyan. I'll go over and take a look myself first, and scout the way." He couldn't wait for several Grandmasters to follow behind and save him at critical moments.

The feeling of danger is still present.

But things have reached this point, and he can't avoid it. He is very curious, is the source of this danger the Worry-Free Sect, or Lu Yaofeng's cave? Only by finding the source of the danger can he completely eliminate the danger, and he can feel at ease.

"Uncle, let Huang Cheng follow me."

"Okay, I will tell the Emperor, and the Emperor will probably agree." The sun is shining brightly in the sky.

At the top of a towering giant peak, Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao stood side by side.

Li Hongzhao was dressed in a fiery red robe, as if she was in a flame, and her beautiful face added a bit of glamour, captivating people's hearts. Chu Zhiyuan was dressed in a blue-green robe, and he was handsome and compelling.

In order to avoid danger, he didn't bother to dislike that it was stripped from Zhang Youling, and after cleaning it thoroughly, he still put it on. Around them was a dense pine forest.

They were standing on a giant stone on the top of the mountain, a smooth bluestone that had been polished by wind and rain. Overlooking the entire pine forest.

The mountains were like floating islands, floating in the white clouds. "Is this where the cave is located?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the cliff outside the pine forest. Below the cliff was a steep, vertical mountain wall.

It was almost impossible for the cave to be on this mountain wall, but thinking of Lu Yaofeng's identity, he felt that it was okay to be here. "It's right here." Li Hongzhao said triumphantly: "Didn't expect it, did you? Couldn't find it, could you?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked around and sighed: "No wonder you couldn't find it."

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse was following far away, five hundred meters away, ready to rush over and carry him away at any time. Various flying knives were hidden in the White Cauldron, and there were also a few spiritual pills for detoxification and healing.

Chu Zhiyuan floated to the three pine trees on the edge of the cliff.

The strong wind went up along the stone wall, causing the three pine trees to tremble, and the pine needles were whistling.

They stood proudly against the strong wind, and the bark of the trees was cracked like tortoise shells, indicating that they were very old. Chu Zhiyuan reached out and supported one of them.

His eyes blurred for a moment, and he transformed into a green pine tree, starting from a small sapling, gradually growing up, witnessing the changes of this mountain peak, witnessing the mountain wall becoming steeper and steeper. After a while, he supported the second pine tree.

Then it was the third one.

Watching him press this tree, then press another, pressing all three trees, Li Hongzhao smiled and said: "Do you like pine trees?" Chu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at her, his eyes like cold stars.

Li Hongzhao felt that he had suddenly become extraordinarily radiant, making people unable to look directly at him. Li Hongzhao asked with a smile: "What's different about these three pine trees?"

"They have witnessed half of Lu Yaofeng's life," Chu Zhiyuan slowly said.

Lu Yaofeng didn't die here. After the woman died, he left here and disappeared. And when he left for the last time, his eyes stared at the cave on the stone wall, and he let out a sneer. This sneer contained too much killing intent.

From this, Chu Zhiyuan could infer that he had set up an ambush here. It should be an extraordinary ambush.

He felt that the source of danger was in this cave. This made him both worried and excited.

Finally, he was going to solve this threat!

Li Hongzhao said: "Then shall we go down?"

"It's best to scout the way first," Chu Zhiyuan said, "I'll do it."

"How are you going to scout?" Li Hongzhao smiled secretly in her heart.

As expected, he was a greedy guy.

With a flip of his hand, a snow-bright flying knife appeared in Chu Zhiyuan's palm.

Li Hongzhao couldn't help but laugh and said: "I forgot that you also have a superb flying knife technique!"

The flying knife in Chu Zhiyuan's hand turned into a stream of light, going down along the mountain wall. When it reached the waist, it suddenly turned and stabbed towards a mountain wall, drilling into the cave along the cracks in the mountain wall. After a moment, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed.

There was a feeling of connection between the flying knife and himself, but at this moment, this connection was suddenly cut off.
