There were only a few torches inserted into the wall to illuminate the pool passage, which was very dim. Fortunately, although Master Xu was old, his eyesight was still good. With a casual glance, he saw from a distance that the door of the central pool was actually a large one.
Open.
This kind of situation where the pool door is open and no one is guarding the door is rare even in normal times, let alone now when there is a raging storm.
Of course, Master Xu didn't think of someone attacking the central pool, so he just thought it was a minor accident.
Seeing that nothing happened at the moment, he did not hesitate, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the pool.
Even if he didn't increase his pace, the short passage didn't take Master Xu much time. However, when he approached the gate, he began to have some bad suspicions.
Because he heard several vague screams and muffled sounds, and at the same time, he also noticed that something was not right about the figures inside the pool.
Under the nervousness, he subconsciously quickened his pace. Master Xu took three steps and two steps at a time, and hurriedly passed through the door. What he saw shocked him.
"Ah!"
I saw several figures wearing Mohist disciple uniforms lying on the ground in different postures, with some dark traces vaguely visible around them.
Needless to say, those traces must be blood, and these Mohist disciples are probably cold.
Although he was worried about the safety of several disciples, Master Xu knew that the most important thing now was not this, but the murderer.
The thoughts in his mind turned around, and Master Xu's eyes naturally turned to the location of the central pool.
There, there is the only figure in this space who can move freely except Master Xu.
Originally, he had just walked to the edge of the pool, facing the source of the water in the machine city, but he probably heard Master Xu's scream, and now he turned his face.
Although he is a rookie, Master Xu believes that his fighting ability is much better than that of ordinary disciples, because he does not have stage fright when facing the murderer - and more importantly, he cannot have stage fright either.
He had just slipped over here, and there was no one around. If he chose to run away directly, he might not be able to find reinforcements in time, and would also directly expose his back to the enemy. It was better to give it a try.
But when he saw the face of the attacker, his eyes suddenly shrank and he said in disbelief, "It's you!?"
With such a shocking effort, the other party had already seized the opportunity.
Fighting against the five scum Master Xu, died!
………………
Out of concern for the master, Gao Jianli rushed to the master's training room as quickly as possible without using Qinggong. However, when he arrived, he was dumbfounded.
Because Duan Murong and Qian Long were suddenly in the room looking after the unconscious Master Ban.
Seeing Gao Jianli coming in in a hurry, Duan Murong was a little surprised, "What happened, Xiao Gao?"
Gao Jianli didn't answer, and the next moment, he disappeared.
And Duan Murong immediately realized that something must have really happened, otherwise Gao Jianli would not have said a word and would just use Qinggong to leave.
Duan Murong thought for a moment and ordered Qianlong, "You stay here and look after Master Ban. Don't run around. I'll go see what's going on."
"Oh, okay, Sister Rong." Although she was also curious about what happened, Qiantaki nodded obediently.
Immediately, Duan Murong also left in a hurry, chasing Gao Jian and leaving.
This distance is not very short, but compared to walking, it is nothing to Gao Jianli who just uses Qinggong to go at full speed without sparing any effort.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Gao Jianli returned to the central pool, and what he saw was naturally only corpses on the ground. The only one who could still breathe was Master Xu.
With gray hair, he was also the most conspicuous figure among those who collapsed on the ground. Gao Jianli hurried over and helped Master Xu up.
Master Xu took the opportunity and used his remaining strength to say to Gao Jianli, "Yes...it's Gai Nie."
After saying a few words, he completely passed out.
"Gai... Nie!" Gao Jianli gritted his teeth and repeated the information given by Master Xu.
He was already dissatisfied with Gai Nie, and with so many disciples and Master Xu's life and death unknown, the anger in his chest almost exploded.
If the remaining bit of reason hadn't told him that the most important thing now was to save Master Xu and others, he would have wanted to pick up his sword and kill Gai Nie right now.
At this time, Duan Murong also rushed over.
Although her combat power can be shattered by a single touch, she is accomplished in internal skills and can travel at a pretty good speed with her light skills, without being dropped too much by Gao Jianli.
When he felt sleepy, he came up with a pillow. When he saw Duan Murong, the medical fairy, coming over, Gao Jianli ignored the etiquette and went straight to greet him, "Master Xu and the others, please leave it to Miss Rong."
After saying that, he ran away immediately without waiting for Duan Murong to reply.
"This..." Duan Murong didn't even have time to raise her hand, Gao Jianli had disappeared, so she had no choice but to give up.
Although I have no idea what happened, in short... it would be nice to save people.
After briefly checking everyone's situation, Duan Murong's face darkened.
She originally thought there would be a lot of seriously injured people to treat, but now she found that there was actually only one.
Except for Xu Fuzi, who still had one breath to save him, all the other Mohist disciples had been killed.
Moreover, the sharp wounds on all of them should be from the same weapon, or more precisely, it should be a sword.
As for the characteristics of this sword, Duan Murong is helpless. She doesn’t know much about wound identification
………Time goes back to the present…………
Gao Jianli used a cold tone and briefly explained what happened.
To put it simply, Gai Nie, you imperial spy, harmed Master Ban and Master Xu, and now you must pay the price!
Gao Nie didn't react much to Gao Jianli's accusation. Instead, Tianming took the lead:
"What the hell are you talking about, you ice cube man!"
"After I came back from Mr. Ben, my uncle was resting in the room, and we stayed together all the time. How could he have time to do bad things!"
To Tianming, Gao Jianli is a complete slanderer.
How long did it take from the time he separated from Gao Jian to the time he met Gai Nie?
And strictly speaking, the time window left for Gai Nie to make plans was actually far less than this period of time. After all, Xu Master and the others' accident happened after Gao Jianli had separated from Tianming and ran to guard the pond.
Although there is no doubt about Gai Nie's strength, it is not easy to complete this entire process in such a short time.
The most important thing is that the person who lured Gao Jianli away is obviously a person who is proficient in the art of disguise, and it is very doubtful whether Ge Nie knows the art of disguise.
