Zhao Deng searched for several days and found no clues about Duan Lingtian's whereabouts.
In the end, he had no choice but to go back.
"I hope my father won't come back so early... Otherwise, I don't know how to tell him about this! His love for Jie'er has reached the point of doting. If he knows that Jie'er is dead, he will definitely not be able to accept it!"
On the way back, Zhao Deng prayed secretly.
However, this was destined to be just wishful thinking, because after he returned, he found that his father had returned.
"I heard that Jier is back? Where is he?"
This was Zhao Jin's first words after seeing Zhao Deng.
Plop!
When he heard Zhao Jin's words, Zhao Deng knelt down in front of Zhao Jin with a sad expression, lowered his head and said: "Father, Jier... Jier, he... is dead!"
boom!
When Zhao Deng's words reached Zhao Jin's ears, they were like a thunderbolt from the blue. Zhao Jin's pupils shrank and his expression changed drastically.
Then he looked at Zhao Deng and asked sternly: "What's going on? I just left not long ago, how could something like this happen?"
"Father, this is what happened..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Deng informed Zhao Jin of the ins and outs of the matter one by one.
Among them, it also includes the fact that Zhao Ji received the inheritance of ancient beast demons and entered the "early stage of the human saint realm" with his cultivation.
Zhao Jin should have been ecstatic when he learned that his grandson was less than forty years old and had entered the 'early stage of human sainthood'...
However, before he had time to rejoice over this, he learned that his grandson, who had a great chance, was dead, killed by someone using a spiritual attack to defeat his soul.
At some point, Zhao Deng took out Zhao Ji's body.
"Cum..."
Looking at Zhao Ji's body, Zhao Jin burst into tears. After reaching out his hand to caress Zhao Ji's cheek kindly, his eyes suddenly became cold and stern, "So, even if Ji'er was not killed by Ling Tian, he was still killed by him.
Indirectly killed?"
"yes!"
Zhao Deng nodded and said angrily: "If it weren't for that Ling Tian leaving Xuankong Mansion, Jie'er wouldn't have chased him... If Jie'er hadn't chased him, he wouldn't have died! So, Jie'er wouldn't have died!
Ling Tian was an indirect 'accomplice' in the death of his son!"
"Is it possible... that boy from the Gu family also found a strong man who is good at spiritual attack to protect Ling Tian from leaving, and that person killed Jier with his spiritual attack."
Zhao Jin guessed with a stern face.
"It's possible!"
If Zhao Jin hadn't reminded him, Zhao Deng wouldn't have thought of this.
"Let's go! Follow me to find Guli!"
After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he took Zhao Ji with him to find Gu Li.
Gu Li used Gu Ciyun's relationship network to find a group of powerful people to restrict the existence of people of the Zhao family's lineage above the holy realm.
In order to protect his friend, Zhao Jin could not do anything to him because of this, because this in itself was a fault of the Zhao family.
However, if Gu Li found someone to protect Ling Tian and killed his grandson ‘Zhao Ji’…
Then, the nature is completely different!
However, when they found Gu Li, Gu Li denied it flatly, "I just found someone to restrict the existence of you Zhao family lineage above the holy realm. I didn't find anyone strong enough to attack with spiritual consciousness to protect Junior Brother Ling Tian... Ling Tian
Junior Brother Tian was alone when he left!"
"If you don't believe it, I can make a 'thunder oath'!"
After Gu Li made the oath of thunder punishment, Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng realized that they had guessed wrong.
Gu Li did not find anyone to escort Ling Tian.
So, who is the person who killed their grandson and son?
After the father and son Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng left, Gu Ciyun couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Zhao Ji to die outside... However, what was he, a middle-sage martial artist, doing out there? To chase and kill him.
Xiaotian?"
"Hmph! With his little strength, chasing Junior Brother Ling Tian is just looking for death!"
Gu Li snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "In my opinion, that Gu Li will most likely die in the hands of Junior Brother Ling Tian!"
"It shouldn't be Xiaotian's hand... Just now, they also said that Guli died in the hands of a strong man who was good at spiritual attacks. There were no external injuries on his body. And as far as I know, Xiaotian didn't
Good at spiritual attack!"
Gu Ciyun shook his head and said, he has a different view.
"No matter what, that Zhao Ji deserves to die! With his death, Xuankong Mansion will be less of a scourge."
Gu Li said lightly that he not only had no sympathy for Zhao Ji's death, but also felt some schadenfreude.
"Li'er, you can just say these words here. If they spread, Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng will probably not let it go! For them, Zhao Ji is their 'lifeblood'... Now, even if
It will be decades before Zhao Deng finds a woman to have a son and wants to raise him to be like Zhao Ji."
Gu Ciyun understands Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng's current mood very well.
If something happened to Gu Li, he would definitely be like Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng now, maybe even more exaggerated and rude than them!
"Yes, father."
Knowing that Gu Ciyun was for his own good, Gu Li readily agreed.
"Li'er, where did Xiaotian go? Didn't he agree to go to the 'Upper Domain' of the Dao Martial Holy Land with you after you break through to the Human Saint Realm? Is it possible that he left you alone to go to the upper realm?"
Domain?"
The ancient word cloud asked curiously.
Now, neither Zhao Jin nor Zhao Deng and his son are here, so Gu Li can tell everything in front of his father.
However, he did not intend to reveal Duan Lingtian's identity as soon as he opened his mouth. Instead, he chose to do it step by step. "Father, Junior Brother Lingtian is not named Ling."
"Isn't his name Ling Tian? How come his last name is not 'Ling'?
Ancient word cloud doubt.
"Lingtian is his name. As for his surname... Father, what do you think his surname is?"
After talking about it, Guli specially asked in a longer voice.
"There are so many surnames in the whole world... How can I know what his surname is!"
Gu Ciyun said angrily: "Okay! Stop being so pretentious... Just tell me straight, what is Xiaotian's last name?"
"He has the same surname as the current head of Qingyun Mansion."
Gu Li smiled.
"The current head of Qingyun Mansion? Duan Rufeng? Xiaotian's surname is Duan?"
Gu Ciyun was a little surprised, "So, his full name is not Lingtian, but Duan Lingtian... No! Duan Lingtian... Duan Lingtian... I seem to have heard this name somewhere. But, for a while, it was...
I can’t remember.”
"Demon Sealing Monument!"
Gu Li reminded him at the right time.
Demon Sealing Monument!
After hearing Gu Li's reminder, the fog in Gu Ciyun's mind cleared, and he suddenly became enlightened, "I remembered... the lucky boy who got the Demon-Sealing Monument that was widely rumored back then was called 'Duan Lingtian'! Really
Unexpectedly, Xiaotian has the same name as Duan Lingtian."
"Duan Lingtian...this name is not common."
The ancient word cloud said with a smile.
The reason why he did not associate the Duan Lingtian he was familiar with with the 'Duan Lingtian' was because he could confirm that Duan Lingtian was not disguised, and he had also seen the portrait of the 'Duan Lingtian'.
Although both are very handsome, they are completely different people.
"Father, Junior Brother Lingtian is the same Duan Lingtian who obtained the Demon-Sealing Monument!"
Seeing that he was reminded by himself, Gu Li was still thinking about the ancient words, and Gu Li was speechless for a while, and reminded him in time.
"What?!"
Gu Ciyun was naturally startled by Gu Li's words, but he quickly shook his head again, "Impossible! I have seen that portrait of Duan Lingtian with my own eyes, and it is not the same person as Xiaotian at all... I can also be sure
, Xiaotian must not have disguised himself! Unless the portrait of Duan Lingtian was painted after Xiaotian disguised himself."
Gu Li sighed, knowing that if he didn't explain, his father would still not be able to figure it out.
As for the things he told Gu Ciyun, he had also asked Duan Lingtian for his opinion before... If he just told Gu Ciyun about the matter, Duan Lingtian had no objection.
After Gu Li explained it, Gu Ciyun was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
The short-lived evil genius ‘Li Feng’ who appeared in the Chongxiao Mansion area in the past was not Duan Lingtian’s senior brother, but the disguised existence of Duan Lingtian himself!
As for the later Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian also disguised himself.
Duan Lingtian's real appearance is exactly the same as that in the portrait that was circulated back then.
Not only has he seen Gu Ciyun before, but even now, he still has a portrait of Duan Lingtian in his hand.
Wow!
Unfolding the portrait and looking at the handsome young man on it, Gu Ciyun sighed: "It turns out that this is Xiaotian's true face! However, Xiaotian's luck is really good, and he was able to get the famous one on the "Top Ten Sacred Artifacts List"
The super holy artifact 'Demon-Sealing Monument'... The Demon-Sealing Monument is a super holy artifact that can restrain demon cultivators!"
"Li'er!"
Suddenly, Gu Ciyun's expression became serious, and he stared at Gu Li, "Regarding Xiaotian's true identity, you must remember not to mention it to others again... Once this matter spreads, he will inevitably become a target again.
After that! By then, his enemy will not only be the Zhao family, but the entire Dao Martial Holy Land, and even the entire Dao Martial Holy Land!"
The allure of the Demon Sealing Monument is well known to Gu Ciyun.
Even he, if he had not already considered Duan Lingtian as one of his own, would definitely have the idea of killing people to seize the treasure.
Just because the temptation of the Demon Sealing Monument is too great!
"I know."
Gu Li nodded, "I only told you this matter after seeking the opinion of Junior Brother Ling Tian... As for other people, I can't tell you without the consent of Junior Brother Ling Tian!"
"That's good."
Gu Ciyun nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "You haven't told me yet... Xiaotian is in a hurry to leave and doesn't wait for you. Did he go to the 'Upper Domain' first?"
"No."
Gu Li shook his head, "He went to Qingyun Mansion. As for me, I wanted to stay and say hello to you... In a few days, I will also go to Qingyun Mansion to find Junior Brother Lingtian, and then leave the lower domain with him and go to
Upper domain!”
"Qingyun Mansion? What is he doing in Qingyun Mansion?"
Gu Ciyun frowned, "Could it be that he was persuaded by the people of Qingyun Mansion to switch to Qingyun Mansion?"
