After Nangong He and Gu Qishao left the Blood Sword Sect, they quickly made their way to the Gold Tomb City. When they reached a secluded, short wall, Nangong He suddenly stopped and turned around to look behind him. For some unknown reason, Gu Qishao and the Jinxi duo also halted their steps and turned around to look behind them. The quiet moonlight made the whole land seem gray, and he could see all the trees in the distance.
"What's the matter, Brother He?"
"I have this strange feeling that someone is following us from behind." Nan Gong He's eyes lit up, and he replied suspiciously.
Gu Qishao looked around carefully to make sure nothing was amiss before smiling. "Where's everyone?" Didn't Brother He know where his enemy was, and was overly nervous and suspicious? "
Nangong He knit his brows and said in a deep voice, "Seventh Madame, the enemy cannot be underestimated, we cannot be careless." His gaze turned to the two elders. "It just so happens that we can take advantage of this time to come up with a plan. Seventh Madame, tell the two elders in detail about the Blood Sword Sect's investigation report to the disciples." The two old enemies, Fan and Fan, had originally been resting when Nangong He called them. They knew that the Sect Leader must have something important to talk to them about in the middle of the night, so they did not ask for the reason and followed the two of them out. Upon hearing these words, everyone looked at Gu Qishao.
Gu Qishao nodded. "Well, let the two elders know that today, a spy from our Kui Yuan Tower has infiltrated …" It turned out that as soon as the two Hell sect deacons' subordinates entered Kui Yuan Tower, they immediately exposed a flaw to the Blood Sword Sect disciples in charge of secretly investigating. When the two disciples from the Underworld Sect left the Kui Yuan Tower to report the situation to Li Longzi, the people from the Bloodsword Sect used their familiarity with the terrain to secretly follow them and discovered traces of Li Longzi.
Because he was afraid of Li Long's powerful martial arts, he didn't dare to get too close. However, he carefully followed him along the way and found out the location where Li Long was staying. It was actually the main manager's mansion of the 11 stores in Jinling. After discussing it, they decided to summon the two old enemies to explore Jinling to see what exactly Li Longzi wanted to do. Even the rich and powerful merchants in Jinling City were linked to him.
When Fan Zhangkong heard this, his eyes widened and he boomed, "Since we've found out the traces of our enemies, what are we waiting for? Gather men immediately and kill them all! "
"Nonsense, second brother." Chou Hai Tian thought for a moment and said, "It is not surprising that Li Long Zi wants to scheme and scheme. It is not surprising that he wants to bribe the Song people. Perhaps Jin'ling's eleven shops were the Hell sect's property. There was an ancient saying: know yourself, know your enemy, and you won't be defeated even in a hundred battles. "This old man thinks that it would be advisable for Sect Master to spy on the enemies' lair at night. We need to first understand the enemy's true intentions and scope of influence before we do anything else."
Gu Qishao replied, "Elder Chou's words are true. Elder Fan, don't be impatient. When we know the origins of the enemy, with a wave of your arm, you'll end up helping tens of thousands of good sons with just one mouthful of saliva. Don't you drown the children of the Underworld Sect?"
Fan Zhangkong laughed: "Sect Leader Gu's words are too much for this old man. Not to mention the thousands upon thousands of good sons and sons of the Beggar Gang, just the four of us, hehe …" Regardless of whether it is a dragon, lagoon, or a tiger cave, they will all be thrown into chaos. "
Nangong He's tiger beard trembled as his eyes shone brightly. He loudly said, "Good, we shall do as Elder Fan says. No matter how fierce his blade or mountain of fire is, we will still have to give it a try tonight." With one hand on Gu Qishao's arm, the two of them smiled at each other as they crossed the city gates.
"Little White, who is the enemy that Sect Master Nangong spoke of?" The four figures had just disappeared from the top of the city when Tie Qingyi and Tian Xin'er appeared from behind a big tree in the distance. Their inner strength was deep, and even though they were separated by a great distance, Fan Zhangkong and the others could still hear every single word they were saying.
Tie Qingyi replied, "It's the Northwest Hell Sect's Sect Leader, Li Longzi!" In fact, he had long since thought that Nangong He and the others who went out late at night were definitely related to Hell's Gate's Li Longzi, so he followed them all the way here.
"Li Longzi?" Tian Xin'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Could it be related to Miss Li?"
Tie Qingyi didn't want to get entangled with her on this topic, so she briefly explained Li Longzi's background and said: "Miss Tian, when we explain in detail and lose Elder Nan Gong and the others, we won't be able to see Elder Fan stir up a dragon lagoon or tiger cave." Tian Xin'er smiled gently. She knew that he had purposely avoided all topics related to Lady Li and gently held onto Tie Qingyi's arm. It was not real. Tie Qingyi wanted to break free, but after some thought, she decided against it.
Tian Xin'er said sweetly, "Let's go, Xiao Bai." The two of them were both top experts in the martial arts world. Under the moonlight, two silhouettes flew over the wall, Nangong He's four silhouettes could be seen rushing towards a tall building on the east side of the city.
Although it was already the middle of the night, there were still people coming and going inside the house. There were a few guards with guns, and they were constantly moving around, showing that the owners of this place were either rich or noble.
Gu Qishao led the way; he seemed to be extremely familiar with the route. Martial arts could not be compared to those of ordinary guards. In a short while, they had arrived at a quiet and secluded courtyard.
Nangong He asked in surprise, "Seventh Madame, why are you so familiar with the roads here?"
"The owner of this place has invited me here more than once. It's the long-faced black bearded old man who spoke to me outside Kui Yuan Tower in the morning. The general manager of this shop is called Shangguan Hong." Gu Qishao replied, "This place belongs to the back hall. Once we cross the back hall, we'll be in the meeting hall." They walked around a few courtyards, and soon, a huge training field appeared in front of them. When Nangong He raised his head to look, he saw the sign in front of the hall that read "Hall of Might".
Gu Qishao replied, "The Hall of Might is the heart and soul of these eleven stores. Everyone, be careful. It's impossible for the Gates of Hell to not have experts present. It's best not to alarm them first." Fan Zhangkong knew that the last few words he said were words of warning to himself as he agreed in a low voice.
The few of them hid in the shadows of the corner and watched. The Martial Arts Practice Grounds was empty. There were only two big men standing by the door with blades. Fan Zhangkong said in a low voice, "The members of the Prince's residence's Saber Sect are here as well." Nangong He and Qiu Haitian simultaneously recognized that the two big men were disciples of the Royal House's blade faction. The three of them had hidden Luo Yang's secret scouting of the Royal House's blade faction for many years, so they were naturally familiar with the large and small figures of the Palace.
Chou Hai Tian said, "Sect Leader, it looks like the Prince's Mansion's Saber Sect has indeed colluded with the Underworld Sect."
Nangong He muttered to himself for a long time before saying to Gu Qishao, "The martial arts practice field is brightly lit and the land is vast and unobstructed. Presumably, it was also because of this that the other party did not set up any defenses here. Seventh Madame, is there any other path that can lead to the great hall? "
Gu Qishao pondered for a while before saying in a low voice, "Follow me!" They returned to the courtyard outside the inner hall. Gu Qishao and the other three walked in the opposite direction for the time it took to make a cup of tea before they reached a back garden. Along the way, there were a few times when their whereabouts were almost exposed. They would quickly take care of a few Martial Masters for the two old enemies, covering up their tracks.
Gu Qishao led the three over the garden wall, then circled around several times before arriving at a small courtyard. The lights were still on in the side room of the courtyard, and there were sounds coming from there.
A man laughed and said, "Little darling, it's so late and you still dare to come. Aren't you afraid that the old thing will know?"
A coquettish voice laughed, "Old thing, a guest has arrived. It seems that you are not an ordinary person. Old thing, you are being very respectful. I'm afraid you won't be able to return to your room for a night."
Following that, there was a burst of soft noise. Gu Qishao blushed and spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could say anything, Nangong He laughed, "I've got it. Didn't Elder Fan want to turn the world upside down?" Hehe … "We'll start here in a moment.
Gu Qishao rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "Insolence." Nangong He laughed, and the four of them quietly went over the side room, into the distance at the back of the hall. The small courtyard of the side room was separated from the Mighty Martial Hall by two courtyards. The walkways outside the courtyard were guarded by Martial Masters who were patrolling the courtyard. The few of them jumped high and low to avoid the patrol, finally arriving at the rear side of the hall. Nangong He knew that Li Longzi and Wang Lun were not ordinary people, so he did not dare jump onto the roof, afraid that the wind would blow. The four of them made a hand gesture and used the agile movements of the gecko as it climbed up the wall. In the blink of an eye, it was already on the roof.
Just as he steadied his body, he heard someone from below say, "Sect Leader Wang, we have a preliminaries set for the mid-autumn of August. You will be in charge of the city. Wait until the sound of the drum and signal for an attack outside the city, then you will quickly lead the troops of the Prince's Mansion and attack the manor. His voice was cold and sinister. From the sound of it, it was indeed the Lord of Hell, Li Longzi.
