    "Important information?" Bai n leader frowned - what could be more important than the spirit spring?


    "Since it’s not an emergency, let them wait first." She instructed before turning her gaze back to the smoke image.


    The image shone, showing the situation in the cave; Fang Yuan and the group moved deeper into the cave, till they reached the end.


    This cave wasn’t big. Bai n leader was disappointed as she did not see the spirit spring, there was no way it could be in a ce like this.


    "It seems that we still need some time to find the spirit spring." Bai n leader muttered. She swung her sleeves and kept the smoke back in, before saying towards the outside of the tent: "Call them in."


    The tent p was opened; a fierce and vigorous investigative Gu Master walked in and bowed: "This subordinate greets lord n leader, I have an important news to report."


    There was a trace of anxiety in his voice.


    "You captured a Tie n Gu Master." Bai n leader frowned slightly.


    Tie n was a huge powerhouse which not even ten Bai ns could match. There would be huge trouble if the matter was not handled properly.


    Bai n leader was ming the subordinate in her heart, this Tie n Gu Master was like a bomb, he should’ve killed him secretly in the woods. Bringing him back to the n would leave behind evidence and causeplications.


    "This subordinate had received a mission, and while investigating the directions of the Gu Yue remnants, I identally found a heavily injured Gu Master. I was suspicious at first, thinking he was a Gu Yue nsmen. But after healing him, he imed to be a Tie n Gu Master. And he told me a shocking news! Qing Mao mountain’s three ns werepletely wiped out. A mysterious demonic Gu Master managed to escape from the disaster, and the Tie n mobilized their Gu Masters to pursue these demonic Gu Masters." The Investigative Gu Master reported.


    "What did you say?" Bai n leader was surprised; her heart jumped, and she started frowning.


    At this instance, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing’s images shed in her mind. Are these two youngsters demonic Gu Masters? They didn’t look like it!


    Especially when she thought about Fang Yuan’s crying image at the banquet — how can such a person be a demonic Gu Master?


    "How can you be sure this person is a Tie n Gu Master?" Bai n leader asked again.


    "This is the Tie n token I got from his body! And his Gu worms are also Tie n’s characteristic Gu worms." The investigative Gu Master said while handing over a metal token.


    Bai n leader received the token, she felt a cold sensation from the token.


    It was indeed the Tie n token, but......


    "There is also a possibility that this person killed the Tie n Gu Master and took the token as their loot. Maybe this person is trying to mislead us, he might just be the demonic Gu Master the Tie n is pursuing." Bai n leader thought of a possibility.


    In order to live, demonic Gu Masters obviously have to lie about their identity.


    The Bai n leader had too deep of a preconceived perception. But no matter what, she would have to confirm it herself.


    She squinted and said: "Bring that captive here."


    "Move." Soon, the tent was opened and a Gu Master was brought over.


    It was Tie Dao Ku; his hair was a mess and his face pale as he walked towards the Bai n leader.


    "Kneel down!" The Gu Master behind kicked, and this strong willed man grunted, kneeling on the ground.


    But he strongly resisted and tried to remain standing.


    "Stay still!" Two Gu Masters behind him held each of his arms, forced him down.


    Tie Dao Ku struggling was to no avail, he shouted: "I, Tie Dao Ku, will kneel to the heavens and earth, will kneel to my parents, will kneel to the n leader, but do not humiliate me, or I’d rather die!"


    "Oh, great acting." Bai n leader’s eyebrows raised, but she just sneered and interrogated: "Speak, you are a demonic Gu Master, how did you kill the Tie n Gu Master and obtain this token?"


    Tie Dao Ku was stunned, before spitting out some bloody phlegm: " Spit ! I am Tie Dao Ku of the grand Tie n, my name and surname will never change. Now that I’vended in your hands, do whatever you wish to me, but trying to frame me like this, isn’t it too hypocritical?"


    The phlegm did notnd on Bai n leader, as it hit an invisible wall in midair and fell on the ground.


    Bai n leader’s expression turned ugly.


    Tie Dao Kuughed coldly: "Our Tie n is an expert in pursuing and investigation. Bai n, you captured me and humiliated me like this, hehe, you better decimate my corpse, and pray you are not found out. If not, heheh, you shall face the wrath and revenge of our entire Tie n!"


    Bai n leader sneered: "You keep iming to be a Tie n Gu Master, but I’ve seen many Tie n Gu Masters, those who are below rank 5 would move inrge numbers, and are extremely spirited, and iron willed. Not only are you travelling alone, just look at your state, you should act better if you want to pass off as a Tie n Gu Master."


    Tie Dao Ku’s cold sneering froze.


    Bai n leader’s words triggered the most painful memory in his heart.


    Back when they left Qing Mao mountain, all nine of them were high spirited, but now only he was left and that too as a prisoner!


    Sadness...


    Especially when he thought about how Tie Ao Tian died, the huge regret and pity intensified his pain.


    Tie Ao Tian was the Tie n’s fourth young master, with superior talent and a determined nature; there were many expectations ced on him since young. He was a strongpetitor for the n leader position, and was the future hope of the Tie n. The intellect and talent he disyed made Tie Dao Ku see the future of the Tie n in his hands.


    But!


    When that overwhelming explosion urred, everything ended.


    It was too abrupt!


    Tie Ao Tian who was in the middle of the explosion didn’t even have time to activate his defensive Gu before he was blown to bits.


    A generation’s genius, the star of the future, died in such an obscure way!


    Not only Tie Ao Tian, some others were affected as well and died in the explosion along with countless Gu worms.


    There were only two people alive; both heavily injured.


    Tie Ku Dao was one of them. Back then he was at the back of the team, and because his skin had turned into bronze skin by his Gu worm, he preserved his life.


    Another injured person had lost half his body, and in a short while, fell into aa; eventually dying after resuscitation failed.


    Tie Dao Ku cried as he buried his nsmen.


    He had wanted to bury them separately, but most of the corpses were in pieces. Tie Ao Tian was the most pathetic, only a palm sized piece of flesh was left of him.


    He carried his extreme pain and grief, and built a tomb, cutting a huge rock and moving it there as a marking.


    Next, he investigated the explosion site.


    With his experience, he concluded it was the charred thunder potato Gu.


    Almost a hundred charred thunder potatoes, buried together! Without a doubt, this was a huge devious, ruthless and extremely evil trap!


    Who would do such a wicked thing!


    Who set this trap?!


    Tie Dao Ku thought about it hard, and felt that Fang and Bai were the most suspicious. Of course, he did not know their names or the exact info, but he understood that this culprit was most likely the demonic Gu Master they had been chasing.


    Too despicable!


    Too vicious!


    Tie Dao Ku flew into a rage, his hatred as deep as the sea.


    Revenge, he must get revenge, and bring this demonic Gu Master to justice!


    Tie Dao Ku could no longer return to Tie n. He was responsible to get to the end of the fourth young master’s death. Furthermore, if he returned empty handed like this, it would be a huge disgrace to his character.


    He had to continue the chase!


    His life had suddenly turned from colorful to grey. He wanted to kill the demonic Gu Master of Qing Mao mountain to vent his anger. Even if he could not, he wanted to give his all.


    "Revenge! Revenge!" He shouted, he would not stop until he killed Fang and Bai.


    However, reality was cruel. His injuries could not receive proper healing, and in a few days, he suffered from a high fever and terrible headache. He also encountered beast groups’ attack, and barely managed to escape through the river. But without proper supplies, he still fainted in the end.


    When he was awake, he found that he was saved, but became Bai n’s captive.


    Thinking back, it was all a series of painful events!


    Tie Dao Ku kneeled in the tent with tears flowing out uncontrobly.


    Bai n leader was amazed, Tie Dao Ku did not answer her questions and just kept on giving off a determined aura.


    This did not look like a fake identity, like a demonic Gu Master who wanted to live.


    "Is this person really from Tie n?" Bai n leader started to feel something amiss, the bad feeling in her heart starting to spread.


    She wanted to find out more details, but Tie Dao Ku did not reply and even closed his eyes.


    Bai n leader’s mind turned as she suddenly said: "Not long ago, our Bai n entertained two Gu Yue n guests. They are two youngsters, one iming to be Gu Yue n’s young master..."


    Before she finished, Tie Dao Ku opened his eyes abruptly. His once dead eyes started shining with radiance.


    Hatred, anger, joy, all sorts ofplex emotions burst forth.


    He wanted to get up agitatedly, but was pushed down by the two Gu Masters behind him.


    He shouted: "It’s them, it’s definitely them. To think I met them here. Two people, and even youngsters, hmph, they must be the demonic Gu Masters that escaped from Qing Mao mountain!"


    Tie Dao Ku did not know the situation on Bai n, the investigative Gu Master only interrogated, there was no way he would tell him such information.


    Bai n leader quickly asked: "If you are a Tie n Gu Master, where are yourpanions?"


    Tie Dao Ku’s attitude changedpletely at this point; for the sake of revenge, he answered seriously: "They’re dead."


    "Where did they die? Where are the corpses?"


    Tie Dao Ku’s expression changed: "I cannot tell you this. The dead shall rest in peace, even if you suspect me, I will not allow you to dig their graves!"


    Bai n leader’s heart sank after hearing this.


    These were not words a demonic Gu Master would say.


    "Don’t tell me..." An intense worry grew in Bai n leader’s heart.


    She could not help but wave her sleeves, as a colorful smoke flew out and coiled around in the air, forming an image.


    "Your n’s young master is in our hands, all of you get out now!" In the image, Fang Yuan had already fallen through with Bai n, he was gripping Bai Hua and Bai Sheng’s throats as he threatened.


    Bai n leader was instantly dumbstruck.


    After a few breath’s time, she flew into a rage, mming the table in front of her into smithereens.


    She wanted to scream ——


    "Turns out they were demonic scoundrels!"
