When Steward Zhan said this, Liu Xiaolou felt a little bad. It seemed that this guy was not the same as Zhao Ruyu?

After thinking about it, he refused in a louder tone. "Steward Zhan, please don't ask me to violate Formation Master's rules, otherwise I won't be able to gain a foothold in this industry in the future. If you have any questions, please ask Steward Zhao. I'm sorry that I can't obey!"

The voice was not soft, but it did not arouse Zhao Ruyu who was hiding in anticipation. Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Steward Zhan was still smiling, but in his palm was a short knife as thin as a cicada's wing. The short knife floated in his palm and began to spin, spinning up and down, left and right, and turned into a ball of light.

With a buzzing sound, the ball of light left his palm and began to rotate around Liu Xiaolou. Needless to say, this hand had demonstrated Steward Zhan's cultivation - similar to Zhao Ruyu, or at least Qi Refining Perfection. This was the best threat.

"Do you want to lure someone named Zhao here? I'm afraid there's no chance. I'll tell you one last time. Answer these three questions and let you go."

Liu Xiaolou didn't speak, just stared at Steward Zhan, following the flash of the knife spinning around in the corner of his eye, ready to protect himself at any time.

Steward Zhan asked, "Firstly, how did Zhao Ruyu find you? Was it by himself or through others? Secondly, what is the weakness of the formation? Did you see it, or did he tell you? Thirdly, after you repaired the formation, what did he promise to give you?"

Liu Xiaolou thought for a moment and said, "The road here is right in the middle, with ventilation on all sides, which is not conducive to talking. Steward Zhan, why don't you and I find a secluded place... Are there any caves or similar nearby? Or houses built by your sect?"

Steward Zhan smiled again, said "Follow me", and walked towards the southeast side of the mountain road. Liu Xiaolou followed him, turned a few corners, and saw a cave as expected.

This cave is semi-ventilated, but it is much stronger than before. Liu Xiaolou raised his wrist slightly and said, "To answer Steward Zhan's question, I have to talk about the purpose of this junior's coming to Jade Goose Peak. It's a long story, Steward Zhan don't dislike it."

"You said."

"I have a friend who is a junior. His friend once told him that there are ancient pine trees on Jade Goose Peak that are ten thousand years old. My friend was very puzzled and said that Jade Goose Peak is Luofu Sect What's so surprising about the presence of heavenly and earthly spiritual beings? My friend's friend asked, "Do you want to break a pine branch? This pine branch has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, been struck by countless lightning strikes, and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon..."

Liu Xiaolou began to tell a story, and the story went further and further away. He didn't get back to the topic after a long time. Hearing this, Steward Zhan frowned, and suddenly felt irritated in his heart. He shouted, "Speak of yourself, don't ramble! Just say... did you come here on your own, or... did Zhao Ruyu find you?"

Liu Xiaolou asked, "Steward Zhan, I don't think your three questions are at all fundamental. What exactly do you want to ask?"

Steward Zhan took a deep breath, feeling that the irritability in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and said, "Just tell me, what did Zhao Ruyu tell you? How much does he know about Earth Gate Formation?"

Liu Xiaolou was stunned for a while. "How much does Steward Zhao know about Earth Gate Formation? Steward Zhan, your question is really puzzling for me."

Steward Zhan already felt unbearable heat in his body. He was upset and wanted to slap Liu Xiaolou, but suddenly he woke up and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Poison me?"

While he was talking, a rope suddenly wrapped around his body, covering more than 140 acupuncture points in Meridians. At the same time, Three Xuan Sword of Liu Xiaolou also suddenly appeared in his palm, and the tip of the sword spit out a sword light about a foot long and went around Steward Zhan's neck.

Unexpectedly, half of Steward Zhan's neck was immediately wrapped around Three Xuan Sword's. In a state of shock and anger, a shining light and shadow fell from the edge of his bun. It was an unknown treasure, inserted right into the inside of Three Xuan Sword Aura.

Obstructed by this light and shadow, Three Xuan Sword Aura's last pull on his neck failed, leaving only Chuyi blood marks on his neck. The sword light was forced away by the light and shadow, bounced up diagonally, and wiped off his two earlobes, leaving two blood shadows.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolou figured out Steward Zhan's cultivation level - Qi Refining Perfection, not Foundation Establishment.

Taking action against a Qi Refining Perfection can achieve success in one fell swoop. This time Bewitching Incense is really domineering!

But that was all. Xuanzhen Rope and Three Xuan Sword did not dare to delay. In the blink of an eye, they were taken back by Liu Xiaolou. Immediately afterwards, he ran away, shouting as he ran, "Killed! Someone is pretending to be Luofu Sect Officer, killing people..."

He didn't dare to use the formation disk indiscriminately. Using the formation disk meant that he would also be trapped here. He really had no confidence that he could rely on the formation disk to fight this Steward Zhan. When the formation was forcibly broken by others, but his true energy was exhausted, he would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.

The way he ran and called at the same time was really unbelievable to people like Luofu Sect who were born in the Renowned Great Sect. Steward Zhan was obviously not used to it and was immediately escaped by Liu Xiaolou more than ten feet away.

But he quickly came to his senses, and the smile that usually hung on his face had long disappeared. He touched the blood all over his neck, and his heart was filled with rage and irritation. The evil fire was rising. Although he knew that practice should be steady and quiet, and that anger should not be lightly touched, he couldn't suppress it.

I don't care about anything at the moment, and I don't bother to ask any questions. I just want to chop the shameless Formation Master in front of me into pieces and then hurry up!

A ball of sword light chased behind Liu Xiaolou, speeding up and slashing away from time to time. If it were on a flat land, ten Liu Xiaolou would also be hit, but here is Azure Mist Valley, with dense forests, ancient trees, rugged mountains and dense slopes, and Steward Zhan did not reach Foundation Establishment. At such a point, the sword light could no longer come and go freely. Liu Xiaolou dodged left and right, and the several sword lights he struck in succession failed, either cutting off trees or smashing rocks. It was always just a hair's breadth, making Steward Zhan's eyes red and blood boiling.

Steward Zhan gritted his teeth and simply knocked out the other life-saving hairpin on his body, preparing for a two-pronged approach.

Seeing the light of swords and hairpins outflanking him from left to right, when he was about to take down the thief in front, his eyes glowed brightly, and a "buzz" sounded in his ears.

Steward Zhan tried to take back the hairpin to save his life, but it was too late. His waist was brushed by a green light and he was severely injured.

An ancient bronze sword flew ten feet away with a cloud of blood, cut off two Pine Cypress trees, then spun back, pressing on Steward Zhan's neck so tightly that Sword Edge was almost pressed into the flesh, and the blood stains were looming under Sword Edge.

Zhao Ruyu floated down from a big tree above and stepped on Steward Zhan's waist. The real energy poured into his body and immediately sealed it tightly, and also stopped the bleeding on his waist.

"I didn't expect it, Brother Ruoshui, it turned out to be you!"

Steward Zhan smiled miserably, coughed several times, and was too lazy to argue. He just closed his eyes and waited for treatment.

Zhao Ruyu glanced at the direction in which Liu Xiaolou was escaping, struggled internally for a moment, and finally did not pursue him. Instead, he picked up Steward Zhan and rushed to Upper Realm Peak.

When he arrived at the cliff courtyard on Left Peak, he threw Steward Zhan on the ground, bowed to the main house and reported, "Elder Lu, we have captured it, and it turns out it is Zhan!"

After a while, a soft sigh came from the room, "It's hard to guard against house thieves, so give Solitary Dwelling Cave first, and tell Steward of Punishment... to lock him up for ten years first."

Zhao Ruyu bowed and accepted the order, "Yes."

Elder Lu in the room said again, "You also go down and make preparations early. You will perform well when the inner disciples are selected in the middle of the month."

Zhao Ruyu felt a burst of ecstasy, feeling that the past few months of being exposed to the sun, rain, and having day and night reversed were all worth it.

Just as I was rejoicing, I heard Elder Lu say again, "Family scandals must not be made public. Has that Formation Master been dealt with?"

Zhao Ruyu was filled with anxiety and reported, "The disciple was negligent. In order to capture Steward Zhan, the disciple tried his best. By the time he thought about Li Mu, he had already fled without knowing where to go."

Elder Lu was silent for a moment and said, "It's just your kindness, that's all. It's not an important matter. You can think about it yourself."
