"What?" Lin Fengyu couldn't believe his ears and said, "What did you say?"

"Don't pretend to be garlic!Say it quickly!Why did you kill Master!" Qin Zhuoyu shouted sharply.

"I ...... I didn't!"

"I still want to quibble!" Qin Zhuoyu said angrily.

"I didn't! I said, it was Zhou Sheng who asked me to save you, I was walking with him at that time, how could I have a chance to kill Master!" Lin Fengyu explained.

"Zhou Sheng! Zhou Sheng!" Qin Zhuoyu shouted.

"Master, the disciple is here. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Zhuoyu asked.

"Returning to my uncle, I have been killing the enemy on the front line, and I have not sent any letters to ...... Uncle Lin. ”

"What!" Lin Fengyu glared angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Sheng's collar and said, "You told me that Senior Brother Qin and Senior Sister Mi were captured alive, and now you actually say no!"

Zhou Sheng said in panic, "Master...... Uncle Shi, calm down...... I really didn't say that. ”

"You! you!" Lin Fengyu was furious, pushed Zhou Sheng aside, and shouted, "Even if I left my post without permission and didn't guard my master, then why do you say that I killed my master!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Lin Fengyu like a fool.

Qin Zhuoyu shouted, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still want to deny it! I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and the disciples listen to the order and take down this traitor!"

"Yes!"

"You ......" Lin Fengyu was aggrieved in his heart, but what he understood better was that if he was caught at the moment, what he would usher in would definitely not be to return his innocence, so Lin Fengyu lifted his sword and fought a bloody way.

Even if he alone can defeat thousands of Cangluan troops, but he can't withstand hundreds of former Tongmen, after a battle, Lin Fengyu staggered, covered in blood and holding on to the stone pillar of the mountain gate, shouting, "Ahhh~~~~~~~h

Qin Zhuoyu said mercilessly, "This thief's popularity is exhausted, cut off his head to pay tribute to the sect master's spirit in the sky!"

"Kill!" the crowd shouted.

At this time, a figure jumped out of the disciples and stood in front of Lin Fengyu, shouting, "Feng'er!

"Cousin, you...... Do you believe me?" Lin Fengyu saw the person who came clearly, and there was a little more warmth in his heart.

"Lin Tian, do you want to protect this traitor, aren't you afraid of being the enemy of my Streamer Sword Sect!" Qin Zhuoyu shouted.

Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Fengyu, "Anyway, get out of here first!"

After that, Lin Tian took Lin Fengyu all the way to fight and retreat, and fled into the distance.

I don't know how long they were chased and killed by a group of disciples, Lin Fengyu and Lin Tian fought all the way and fled all the way, and finally on the edge of the immeasurable abyss, Lin Tian was exhausted and lay down in Lin Fengyu's arms.

"Cousin, cousin!" Lin Fengyu shouted, "It's all my fault!

"Feng'er, don't cry!" Lin Tian held Lin Fengyu's hand tightly and said, "I'...... I believe in you!"

"Cousin...... Cousin ......" Lin Fengyu couldn't cry anymore.

Lin Tian used his last strength at this time, hugged Lin Fengyu's neck, and said in his ear, "Master...... Master...... Be...... Died of ...... Flow...... Streamer...... Edgeworth!"

"What?!" Lin Fengyu glared at Lin Tian in disbelief, "This is impossible! This is impossible! In the entire Streamer Sword Sect, only Master and I will!

"The traitor Lin Tian has already subdued the law!, disciples, quickly kill the traitor Lin Fengyu!" Qin Zhuoyu said in a loud voice.

Lin Fengyu no longer had the strength to resist, but the doubts and unwillingness in his heart made him have no way to die.

Looking at the same door that was attacking him, the decisive color in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he turned around and jumped towards the immeasurable abyss, falling into the abyss.

......

"So, you helped Ji Liangping so that you could go out as soon as possible to find out the truth?" Li Mu asked after listening to the story.

"Hmm!" Lin Fengyu nodded.

Li Mu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It doesn't matter if your story is true or not, I will believe you first." ”

"So, did Brother Li agree?" Lin Fengyu said happily when he heard this.

Li Mu nodded, and then said, "Let's talk about your plan first." ”

"The plan is simple. Lin Fengyu said with a confident face, "With Brother Li's strength, in combination with me, we will brush on the Immeasurable Pagoda for three days, so that we can accumulate an extremely large amount of quenching stones, which is enough for us to improve our Dao power." ”

"It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, you probably don't know what the bottleneck is. Li Mu said.

"Bottleneck?" Lin Fengyu looked at Li Mu suspiciously, "What is that?"

"The Dao power has been increased to a certain extent, and it is impossible to improve the Dao power by absorbing the quenching stone. ”

"Why did Brother Li say this?"

"This is what Feng Niang said, since she is the shopkeeper here, this kind of thing should not lie to me. ”

Lin Fengyu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "What about after you reach the bottleneck?"

"It is necessary to use quenched jade to absorb and improve the power of the Dao. ”

"Quenyu!?"

"Well, this is it. Li Mu threw the piece of quenched jade to Lin Fengyu and said.

Lin Fengyu took the quenching jade and looked at it for a long time, then said with a smile, "It turns out that this is the quenching jade." ”

"You've seen it?"

"Well, in the Ji family's treasure pavilion, there are all these things, probably tens of thousands of yuan. ”

When Li Mu heard this, he muttered, "Then there should be a lot of the Huo family, it seems that I can only ask the Huo family for some when the time comes." ”

......

Time passed little by little, and since the last time I talked to Lin Fengyu, I and Lu Tiantian were in retreat in the room.

One day, early in the morning.

Li Mu was woken up by a hurried knock on the door, opened the door and saw Huo Zhixia with a displeased look, and asked, "What's the matter, it's early in the morning." ”

"How long have I been knocking on the door before you woke up!" Huo Zhixia pushed Li Mu away and entered the room directly.

Li Mu closed the door, stretched his waist and said, "It's rare to have a good night's sleep, and I'm still disturbed by you." ”

Huo Zhixia drank several glasses of water before asking, "What have you been doing in the last few days?

"I'm not going to go, now that the quenching stone is enough, why should I go to the Infinite Tower. ”

"You're really leisurely!" Huo Zhixia glanced at Li Mu and asked, "When are you going to participate in the seventh layer competition?"

"Not ready. ”

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, it should be soon. Li Mu looked at Huo Zhixia, and suddenly leaned closer and said, "I want to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Huo Zhixia said involuntarily leaning back a little.

"When the Dao power is improved to a certain level, will there be a bottleneck?" asked Li Mu.

"Why are you asking this? Are you at a bottleneck?"

"No, I just heard that there is such a thing, so I wanted to ask. ”

"Yes, everyone's bottleneck period is different, some people have hundreds of thousands, some people have hundreds of thousands. ”

"I heard that Ji Wenbin is 50,000, what level is he?"

"The strongest of the Infinite Towers at the moment, I haven't heard of a lower bottleneck than him. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

Huo Zhixia looked at Li Muyi's unfinished appearance and asked, "What are you asking for?"

"That's it...... I'd like to try some quenching jade and see how it works. Li Mu paused and said, "You said that apart from the seventh layer, how else can you get quenching jade?"

Huo Zhixia immediately heard the words and said, "Don't you want to ...... Ask my dad if he wants it. ”

"How else to say that Miss Huo Bingxue is smart. ”

"Come on, I can't afford this compliment. ”

"Then can you help me get some from your house. ”

"Don't, I'm not the middleman, you better go straight to my father. Huo Zhixia shirked.

Li Mu squinted and frowned at Huo Zhixia with a look of resentment.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll only have one piece a month, and I really don't want to come if it's more. Huo Zhixia lowered his head and said crampedly.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Huo family master and ask. ”

The two came to the Huo family hall.

"Yo, rare guest. Huo Zhengqi saw Li Mu enter the main hall and laughed, "Li Xiaoyou hasn't been here for a while. ”

"I've seen the head of the Huo family. Li Muzuo said.

"How have you prepared lately?" Huo Zhengqi said with a smile on his face, "When will I be able to participate in the seventh layer competition?"

"This ......" Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Huo Family Master, let's not talk about this matter today, I came here because I want to ask for help from the Huo Family Master for other things." ”

"Oh?" Huo Zhengqi's face suddenly turned cold and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Mu took a step forward and said bluntly, "I want to ask the Huo family master to give me some quenching jade." ”

"Quenyu?!" Huo Zhengqi's face became even more ugly, "What do you want this for?"

"I just want to try the effect of quenching jade to see if I can improve my Dao power a little more. ”

Huo Zhengqi's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Li Mu for a while, then closed his eyes, held his forehead and waved his hand, "You guys step back first, I want to talk to Li Xiaoyou alone about this matter." ”

After only Li Mu and Huo Zhengqi were left in the main hall, Huo Zhengqi slowly spoke, "You have a million Dao power now, do you still need to improve it?"

"That's not it, you told me that Ji Meiru was going to kill me, I can't sit still. ”

"Hmph!" Huo Zhengqi sneered, "Okay, I don't have anything to lose anyway, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you about some things." ”

When Li Mu heard this, he suddenly felt that his words were wrong.

Huo Zhengqi threw a bag to Li Mu, and then said, "There are ten pieces of quenched jade here, which are the last stock of my Huo family." ”

Li Mu took the cloth bag and opened it to see that there were indeed only ten pieces, and they were small in size and light in weight, no matter how you looked at it, it was not as good as the one won from Ji Wenbin. Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master Huo, don't joke with me, this joke is not interesting at all." ”

"Are you kidding?" Huo Zhengqi sneered, "Why am I joking with you, the quenched jade you are holding in your hand now is still fifty years ago, before Ji Meiru became the head of the family, I brought it back from the seventh layer." ”

"Fifty years ago, Quenyu?" Li Mu was shocked, "Could it be ......?"

"Yes, in the past fifty years, my Huo family has not received a piece of quenched jade!"

"Why is that?"

"The reason is very simple, we haven't won the seventh layer of the game in fifty years. ”

Li Mu was silent, and said in his heart, "This Huo family is really unexpectedly miserable." ”

"It is precisely because of the lack of income in the past fifty years that my Huo family's talent has withered, and the lack of talent has further worsened the disadvantage in the seventh layer, and finally formed a vicious circle. Huo Zhengqi got up and paced.

"But the Huo family doesn't seem to be much weaker than the Ji family. Li Mu wondered.

"You also said that it seems that the actual situation is far from as easy as it seems. Huo Zhengqi sighed and continued, "If I die one day, only Zhixia will be left, and Zhixia's current strength is really difficult to provoke the Huo family." ”

"Isn't there anyone else?"

"If it was in the past, you could have cultivated one or two successors early, but since Ji Meiru took over as the head of the Ji family, everything has changed. Huo Zhengqi's eyes were full of sourness, and he recalled, "Fifty years ago, the quenching jade won by the seventh layer would be distributed to the more talented people in the family according to a certain amount, but since Ji Meiru took over the Ji family, she advocated the centralized use of quenching jade, to put it bluntly, it was for her to use alone. ”

"This woman is really selfish!" Li Mu commented.

Although selfish, her ideas are not unfounded. Huo Zhengqi continued, "At that time, the clansmen of the Ji family were all opposed to her approach, and her sister was the most opposed. ”

"Ji Meifeng?"

Huo Zhengqi looked at Li Mu and nodded, "That's right." Ji Meifeng still advocates the tradition left by her ancestors, and uses the power of the family to help the clansmen improve their Dao power together, but Ji Meiru insists on going her own way, not only using all the quenched jade stocks of the Ji family without authorization, but also depriving those who oppose her idea of quenching the qualifications to get the quenched jade, just like that, in just a few years, Ji Meiru's Dao power exceeded 500,000, and finally under the deterrence of her alone, the Ji family began to compromise. ”

"And Ji Meifeng didn't compromise, so she left the Ji family!" Li Mu guessed.

Huo Zhengqi nodded, "Since Ji Meifeng left, to a certain extent, it has proved the correctness of Ji Meiru's idea, and more and more clansmen began to support her, until her Dao power broke through the million mark, she put forward another idea, and this idea brought catastrophic changes to my Huo family, and even the entire Infinite Tower." ”

"What thoughts?"

"She wants to dominate the Infinite Tower and establish a dynasty!" Huo Zhengqi said excitedly.
