Chapter 174 Assassination

In the following days, Chu Li stayed in Tianlingyuan and concentrated on catalyzing the Tianling Tree.

Every time the Tianling Tree grows an annual ring, it becomes more powerful and absorbs more spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The air in the small courtyard becomes fresher, the spiritual energy becomes more abundant, the spiritual grass grows faster, and staying in the small courtyard becomes more and more comfortable.

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

The two of them sat in the small pavilion and ate together, with four dishes and one soup, all delicious and delicious.

"Sir, it's strange. I've been practicing very fast in the past two days." Xue Ling wore a white shirt, and her temperament became colder and colder, more and more like Xiao Qi's temperament, but less refreshing and more air-conditioned.

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

"Is it because I suddenly became enlightened?" Xueling tilted her head and looked at him: "Is it because I have a deeper understanding of the Taiyin Art?"

Chu Li smiled.

Xueling said angrily: "Why on earth?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know." Xueling shook his head: "It feels very good. It seems that the five senses are sharper, the air is fresher, and the internal energy is purer. Everything is wrong, so the entry becomes faster."

Chu Li smiled and said: "It's because of the Tianling Tree."

"Tianling tree?" Xueling turned to look at the Tianling tree that had grown taller: "Because of it?"

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

"Doesn't that mean that if you stay next to the Tianling Tree, your martial arts will advance faster than others?"

"Um."

"The spirit tree today is amazing!"

"So shut up and eat well."

"Then the same goes for the Star Observation Tower?"

"The effect is not quite as good, but it is also improved."

"What benefit do we get the most?" Xue Ling smiled brightly, as brightly as a flower blooming.

"My lady 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 has been perfected, but no matter how much he improves, it will be limited, just like a cup is already filled with water and cannot be filled anymore.

I was about to reach Consummation originally, but this time the Ku Rong Sutra was promoted to the second level, and my physique became stronger. For example, if I replaced a small cup with a big one, I would have more room for improvement in my cultivation.

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

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

"The ambition is commendable. Work hard." Chu Li nodded and drank another glass of wine.

"Sir, I heard from Brother Jiang that a big case has occurred in Cangliang City." Xue Lingsu held a jade pot in her hand and filled the white jade cup for him: "The city lord has been assassinated."

Chu Li looked up at her.

Xueling put down the jade pot: "Brother Jiang took over the task and went to investigate. No clues were found. I only know that it was done by a master from the outer world. He made a neat move and killed all six guards with one blow."

"Masters from the outer world..." Chu Li frowned.

The masters of Tianwaitian are the top masters in the world. When placed in the martial arts world, they are the heads of sects.

It is as easy for such a top master to kill someone as drinking water.

Xueling pursed her red lips tightly, her face solemn and filled with anger. She hated this kind of person the most, as it reminded her of her father's death.

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

"Brother Jiang and the others have already transported the people to the mansion and asked the worshipers to examine the wounds themselves." Xueling frowned and said, "Sir, do you want to go and have a look?"

Chu Li nodded: "It's okay to take a look."

Xueling showed a smile: "We must not let the murderer go!"

Chu Li nodded.

Killing a court official is a method of death. If the murderer cannot be brought to justice, then the deterrence of the martial arts community will be lost. The Duke's Palace cannot be broken, and the royal family will send people over to catch the murderer.

Chu Li had just finished breakfast when Xiao Qi and Suru came over. Xueling's cooking time was fixed, so they could come at some time.

Xiao Qi was dressed in white as snow and her eyes were cold: "Have you heard about that case?"

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

"Let's go, come with me and take a look." Xiao Qi said, "We have to find that guy."

"What kind of master from the outer world would do this?" Chu Li sighed: "Being confident of being invincible or having a blood feud. It's puzzling."

"People in the martial arts world are violent and impulsive." Xiao Qi said: "When the head is hot, they can do anything...so there must be enough deterrence to make them have some scruples, and the murderer must be found."

The two of them left the small courtyard. Suru and Xueling followed behind.

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

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

The boat floats like a leaf on the lake.

The clear lake surface is sparkling, and the lake breeze comes slowly, caressing your 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 we can always make it through, and my eldest brother also agrees to let you accompany me."

"Does the eldest young master agree that the second young lady will marry into Prince An's palace?"

"So what if you don't agree?" Xiao Qi snorted: "Second sister has sent people to Prince An's Mansion privately. It is estimated that people from Prince An's Mansion will come here soon!"

Chu Li shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Qi said: "No one can defeat the second sister. I have been like this since I was a child. I am used to it."

Chu Li frowned and said, "What other plans does the eldest master have?"

"Brother knows you are going there, so he is half relieved. He will accompany more maids and add a few guards." Xiao Qi said lightly: "Actually, the guards are useless."

Chu Li said: "Heavenly Guard?"

"Impossible." Xiao Qi said: "Second sister will not agree. Besides, the palace guards are strong enough. No matter how hard we fight, our lives will not be endangered."

With the support of the Duke's Palace, lives in the harem fights will never be hurt, otherwise the Duke's Palace will never give up, and it is inevitable that both the jade and the stone will end up in ruins.

The Tianwaitian Guards are the backbone. Instead of placing them in the Prince's Mansion, it is better to be in the Duke's Mansion. Now that the Duke's Mansion is weak, the Tianwaitian Guards are already stretched thin.

Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.

"If you enter the palace, you must also be careful." Xiao Qi said: "Don't hurt people's lives."

Chu Li said: "What should the second young lady do if she can't make sense?"

"I have a way, 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 boat docked at the martial arts hall and stepped onto the martial arts training ground, and everyone looked at him one after another.

They will never forget that earth-shattering scene of thunder falling from the sky.

They had seen Chu Li fight against the sky thunder with their own eyes, and was struck down by a small thunder. They did not expect that Chu Li would come to life so quickly. He was indeed a legendary figure with a great destiny.

Xiao Qi did not go through the passage that the guards gave way to, but walked around the martial arts training field and walked to a palace next to the martial arts hall.

The atmosphere in the main hall was solemn. There were seven corpses on the ground. Four old men were looking over and over, sometimes frowning, sometimes discussing a few words with the people next to them.

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

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

Chu Li clasped his fists.

"You should also take a look, this guy has performed several martial arts!" Xiao Tieying said: "I can't find out what they are used for."

Xiao Qi lowered her head and squatted under a corpse. She looked at the wound and found a black fist mark on her heart.

Chu Li did not move. He stood and took a few glances. The injuries of the seven people were clearly visible. He simulated the murderer's moves in his mind and repeated these martial arts skills.
