A cold sneer flickered in his eyes.
"Hall Master, Ling Tianhe is provoking us."
Lei Mo said, looking at Ling Tianhe.
"He has the qualifications to provoke us now. If you're not satisfied, you can go and exchange blows with him."
Lei Mu said coldly.
His heart was still pounding.
He had only seen a flash of blade light just now.
With one flash of the blade, Mo Beiming was cut in half.
Mo Beiming was a Mid-stage Spirit Refining expert.
The highest talent in their Lei Hall was Innate Peak Stage. Facing him, it would probably only take one strike.
"Hall Master, actually, we don't need to worry too much. The cost for Ling Tianhe to hire such an expert must be quite high."
"If the person he hired could attack so easily, he wouldn't have tolerated Lei Ao's provocation earlier!"
Lei Gu said from the side.
Hearing Lei Gu's words, the breathing of the people in the private room became calmer.
They had been terrified by Bai Tianyu's strike.
Thinking back now, it was indeed true. Their minds calmed down.
"Second Master, you should go and see Young Master Qin now to see what he instructs. I'll go and bring back Mo Beiming's corpse."
Lei Gu said.
Hearing Lei Gu's words, Lei Mu nodded.
Lei Gu then stepped out of the restaurant and quickly arrived in front of Mo Beiming's bisected corpse.
He reached out his hand towards the wound. Before he could touch it, his bone-like palm felt a stinging sensation.
"Such sharp and domineering Blade Qi. However, judging from this wound, it's not the same person who killed Lei Ao last night!"
His palm turned iron-colored, blocking the Blade Qi. He then merged the two halves of the corpse together and quickly left.
Although Mo Beiming was now just a bisected corpse, they could still get a lot of information from it.
With Mo Beiming's corpse taken away, the blood on the ground gradually disappeared as it was washed away by the rain.
In a short while.
People gradually reappeared on the street, restoring the previous scene.
At this moment.
At the top of a teahouse.
Qin Hao and Old Xue were standing on the upper floor.
Looking at Bai Tianyu and Ling Tianhe entering the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, Qin Hao said, "Old Xue, how is this person's strength?"
"He killed Mo Beiming with one strike. This person's strength is very strong, but he didn't display much of it. I can't analyze his realm from this."
Old Xue said in a deep voice.
Bai Tianyu's attack was just one strike, and it was fast with sharp Blade Qi.
This made it impossible for him to discern Bai Tianyu's realm.
"Can Old Xue dodge this strike?"
Qin Hao asked.
"I can't dodge this strike, but this strike cannot break my defense."
"As long as I can block this strike, I can counterattack. As for who wins or loses after that, we'll only know after the fight."
Old Xue said.
"However, Young Master, Ling Tianhe was able to find such an expert. He is more troublesome than we imagined!"
"It will be difficult to capture Kongming Mine now, especially with the people from Zitan Palace arriving soon."
Old Xue then said in a deep voice.
"You go and investigate this person first. I want to know who he is."
"Also, arrange for me to meet Su Chen. I want to see him."
"With such an expert helping Ling Tianhe, Su Chen must be trembling with fear right now and urgently needs someone to cooperate with."
"I don't mind lending him a hand!"
"Mo Beiming was the final nourishment I prepared for the Blood Demon Flower. Now that Mo Beiming is dead, I'll use this Bai Tianyu to replace him."
A cold glint flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.
Killing intent permeated the air.
Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, Fifth Floor
Su Chen slowly returned to his seat.
His expression was calm.
After a short while.
Ling Tianhe and Bai Tianyu came to his room from the hidden chamber.
After Bai Tianyu entered the room, he turned and went into the adjacent room.
"Master, after Mo Beiming was killed, the people from Lei Hall shouldn't be looking for me for now. I'll speed up my arrangements and investigate the situation behind them!"
Ling Tianhe said.
"Handle it yourself. Give me information about that Madam from Yuchun Courtyard."
Su Chen commanded.
He was meeting the Madam that evening, so of course he needed to understand her situation.
Ling Tianhe accepted the order and quickly handed the Madam's information to Su Chen.
Su Chen carefully read the intelligence report about the Madam from Yuchun Courtyard.
There wasn't much content.
This Madam was named Liu Wumei, the third disciple of Changhen Palace's Left Protector Gong Nanyan. She came to Qingcheng City three years ago. Her purpose was unknown, and her specific strength was unknown. Her martial arts and cultivation techniques were suspected to be the Heavenly One Divine Water Art, Yin Yang Bliss Technique, and Profound Nether Yin Fiend Palm.
Looking at the information in the report, Su Chen felt that Liu Wumei seemed to be a more difficult opponent than Mo Beiming, the demonic cultivator expert from the frontier who had just died.
"For someone of this caliber to want to see me, her intentions must be significant!"
Su Chen closed the report.
Changhen Palace, Left Protector's third disciple, this identity was definitely not ordinary. She had been in Qingcheng for three years.
There were only two possibilities:
First, Liu Wumei had a purpose for coming here.
Second, she was exiled to this remote frontier.
Putting this matter aside, Su Chen flipped through some historical records about Great Zhou.
Regarding this world, His memory was fragmented, so he needed to use books to understand the situation here.
As evening approached, Su Chen left Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, got into a carriage, and headed in the direction of Ziyun Lake, the location previously agreed upon with Liu Wumei.
Ziyun Lake.
A very large lake with many towering boats moored on it.
At night, every tower ship was brightly lit.
Boat Number Fifteen.
Madam Liu Wumei from Yuchun Courtyard was sitting inside her cabin.
There were two other people in the room.
One was the Madam from Yuchun Courtyard, the madam, and the other was a young woman dressed in black.
"How is the investigation into the information about the swordsman Ling Tianhe invited?"
Madam Liu Wumei asked.
"There's no news about this person at all. It's as if he appeared out of thin air!"
The madam said in a deep voice.
"Such a master, and no information?"
Hearing the madam's words, Liu Wumei frowned slightly.
"Then don't investigate him anymore. It's a waste of unnecessary effort."
"Investigate through Mo Beiming. He appeared at Lei Hall, and Lei Hall has been very close to Qin Hao recently. They should be planning something."
"I want to know what they are doing?"
Liu Wumei said.
"Madam, do you think they might be after the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform?"
The other young woman in black asked.
Hearing the young woman's words, a glint flashed in Liu Wumei's eyes.
"Xiao Zi, your mind works fast. Mo Beiming, Third Young Master Qin, and the newly appeared Bai Tianyu, none of them are simple."
"They probably wouldn't care about ordinary items. If it's the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform, it could indeed make them eager."
Liu Wumei said softly.
"Investigate thoroughly. Mo Beiming's previous whereabouts, and the Lei Family and Qin Hao. As long as I get treasures like the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform, this old lady can leave this cursed place, Qingcheng City!"
A smile appeared on Liu Wumei's face.
At this moment.
A maidservant reported from outside the cabin, "Madam, the Pavilion Master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, Su Chen, has arrived."
Hearing the maidservant's voice, the smile on Liu Wumei's face vanished.
"Please invite楼主 Su onto the ship!"
She did not get up to greet Su Chen.
Su Chen's current status was not worth her personally welcoming him.
