Chapter 180 Assassination

In the next few days, Chu Li stayed in the Tianlingyuan, concentrating on catalyzing the Tianling tree.

Every time the tree grows an annual ring, its power becomes stronger and it absorbs more spirit energy from heaven and earth. The air in the small courtyard becomes fresher, the spirit energy becomes more abundant, the spirit grass grows faster, and staying in the small courtyard becomes more comfortable.

In the early morning, after Chu Li had finished practicing, Xue Ling had already served breakfast.

The two sat in the kiosk and ate together, four dishes and one soup, all delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

"My lord, it's very strange. I've been practicing kung fu for the past two days and I've progressed very quickly." Xueling wore a white shirt, her demeanor became colder and more like Xiao Qi's, but it was less refreshing and more air-conditioned.

"Yeah." Chu Li casually took a sip of wine.

"I suddenly became enlightened?" Xueling tilted her head to look at him: "Is it because I have a deeper understanding of Taiyin formula?"

Chu Li smiled.

Xueling said angrily, "Why on earth?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know." Xue Ling shook her head: "It feels very good. It seems that the facial features are more acute, the air is fresher, and the internal energy is more pure. There is nothing wrong with it, so the entry becomes faster."

Chu Li smiled and said, "It's because of the Sky Spirit Tree."

"Sky Spirit Tree?" Xueling turned her head to look at the taller Sky Spirit Tree: "Because of it?"

Chu Li said: "This is the mystery of the Tianling Tree."

"Doesn't that mean that if you stay with the Sky Spirit Tree, your martial arts will advance faster than others?"

"Um."

"This day's spirit tree is amazing!"

"So shut up and eat well."

"Then it's the same over the Observatory?"

"The effect is a little bit worse, but it has also improved."

"We get the most benefit?" Xueling smiled brightly like a flower blooming.

"Miss has reached the extreme level of cultivation and does not need the blessing of the Heavenly Spirit Tree," Chu Li said.

Xiao Qi's Tianwaitian cultivation base has been perfected, no matter how much she can improve, there is a limit to it, just like the cup is already full of water and can't be filled anymore.

I was also close to consummation, but this time I was promoted to the second floor of the Kurong Jing, and my physique is stronger. For example, if I replace a small cup with a big cup, there will be more room for improvement in my cultivation base.

Moreover, he has the White Tiger Alchemy Yang Chart, and he is constantly improving his physique. The cup is getting bigger and bigger, but he can't be perfect for a while.

Xueling smiled and said, "I want to catch up as soon as possible!"

"His ambition is commendable, work hard." Chu Li nodded and drank another glass of wine.

"Young Master, I heard from Big Brother Jiang that there is a big case in Cangliang City." Holding the jade pot in her hand, Xue Lingsu filled the white jade cup for him: "The city lord was assassinated."

Chu Li looked up at her.

Xueling put down the jade pot: "Brother Jiang took the task to investigate, but found no clues, only know that it was done by a master from the sky, he struck him neatly, and killed all six guards."

"The master of the sky..." Chu Li frowned.

Masters of Heaven and Earth are the top masters in the world. They are the head of a sect in the martial arts, and they are enshrined in the forbidden palace or the government's mansion in the imperial court.

It is as easy for such a top expert to kill people as to drink water.

Xueling pursed her red lips tightly, and her face was dignified showing anger. She hated this kind of people the most, and it reminded her of her father's death.

Chu Li said: "How did the house arrange it?"

"Brother Jiang and the others have already transported people to the mansion, and they want the priests to examine the wounds themselves." Xueling frowned and said, "My lord, do you want to go and have a look?"

Chu Li nodded: "It's good to have a look."

Xue Ling showed a smile: "We must never let the murderer go!"

Chu Li nodded.

Killing the court officials is the way of death. If the murderer cannot be brought to justice, then the deterrent to the martial arts will be lost.

——

Just as Chu Li finished his breakfast, Xiao Qi and Suru came over. Xueling had a fixed time for cooking, so they could order over.

Xiao Qi's white clothes were like snow, her gaze was cold: "Have you heard about that case?"

Chu Li said: "The Lord of Cangliang City was assassinated?"

"Let's go, follow me to have a look." Xiao Qi said: "We have to find that guy."

"What kind of master from beyond the sky would do such a thing?" Chu Li sighed: "It's puzzling whether you think you are invincible or have blood feuds."

"People in martial arts are very bloody and impulsive." Xiao Qi said: "With a hot head, you can do anything,...so there must be enough deterrence to make them feel scruples, and the murderer must be found."

The two left the courtyard, Suru and Xueling followed behind.

"Did the second lady make sense?" Chu Li asked casually.

The four of them walked through the woods and onto the boat.

The boat fluttered like a leaf on the lake.

The surface of the clear lake is sparkling, and the lake breeze comes slowly, like touching the face.

Chu Li and Xiao Qi stood at the bow of the boat, while Suru and Xueling stood at the other end.

"No." Xiao Qi said lightly: "But it will always make sense, and the elder brother also agrees to let you accompany me."

"The Eldest Young Master agrees that the Second Miss will marry into Prince An's Mansion?"

"So what if you don't agree?" Xiao Qi snorted, "Second Sister has sent someone to Prince An's Mansion privately, and it is estimated that people from Prince An's Mansion will come over soon!"

Chu Li shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Qi said: "No one can beat Second Sister, she has been like this since she was a child, and she is used to it."

Chu Li frowned and said, "What other arrangements does Eldest Prince have?"

"Brother knew that you were going to go there, so he was half-hearted. He would accompany more maids and a few guards." Xiao Qi said lightly: "Actually, the guards are useless."

Chu Li said: "Tianwaitian guard?"

"Impossible." Xiao Qi said: "Second Sister will not agree, besides, the guards of the palace are strong enough, no matter how much you fight, your life will not be endangered."

With the support of the Duke's Mansion, the battle in the harem will never hurt lives, otherwise the Duke's Mansion will never give up, and it is inevitable that they will die together.

Tianwaitian's guards are the pillars, rather than being placed in the Wangfu, it is better to be in the Duke's Mansion. Now that the Guogong's Mansion is weak, the Tianwaitian's guards are already stretched.

Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.

"If you enter the palace, you have to be careful." Xiao Qi said, "You can't hurt people's lives."

Chu Li said: "What if the second lady doesn't make sense?"

"I have a solution, you don't have to worry." Xiao Qi glanced at him lightly: "Your wish will always be granted."

Chu Li laughed: "Miss, I don't want to go."

Xiao Qi looked into the distance and said no more.

Chu Li shook his head helplessly.

The small boat stepped onto the martial arts training ground by performing the martial arts hall, and everyone's eyes cast their eyes on it.

They will never forget that earth-shattering scene of thunder falling violently.

They had seen Chu Li fight against the sky thunder with their own eyes, and was hit by a small lightning and fell down. They didn't expect to be alive so quickly. He was indeed a legendary figure with a big life.

Xiao Qi didn't take the passage made aside by the guards, walked around the side of the martial arts field, and walked to a palace next to the martial arts hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, there were seven corpses on the ground, and there were four old men looking over and over, sometimes frowning, and sometimes discussing with the people next to them.

Xiao Tieying stood aside with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, and Lin Quan stood behind him.

Seeing four people coming in, Xiao Tieying nodded: "Chu Li, have you recovered?"

Chu Li clasped his fists together.

"Look at it too, this guy has used several kinds of martial arts!" Xiao Tieying said: "I can't find out what he used."

Xiao Qi lowered her jaw, squatted under a corpse, looked at the wound, and found a black fist imprint on her heart.

Chu Li didn't move, stood and glanced a few times, the injuries of the seven people were clearly visible, imitating the murderer's moves in his mind, and turning over the details of these martial arts.
