"I wonder where that bastard Lu Li is."
At the same time, from a luxurious castle in the Celestial Sovereign came a sigh. The runes in the castle had been activated. There was no one inside except for two young men.
Both of them were handsome. One of them was wearing a white robe with a blue belt around his neck. His hair was shiny and he had an extraordinary appearance.
The other one was in a black robe. He looked gloomy. The table between them was filled with top-level Mystical Fruits. Any one of them could be sold for tens of thousands of Divine Stones.
It was the young man in a white robe who spoke. After a pause, he said, "Brother Guan, don't blame me for not helping you. Lu Li is like a turtle. I don't know where he is cultivating. I don't even have the chance to find him."
The young man in a black robe was Guan Qianqiu. He was taken out of the Celestial Sovereign City after he was badly injured by Lu Li. Then, he was picked up by the Guan Family.
He had just arrived at the Celestial Sovereign City and had been pretending to be a grandson for two years. It was not until today that the family was willing to let him out.
He had come to the Celestial Sovereign City with the excuse of marrying a young lady of a family. As soon as he arrived, he contacted Chu Yan and asked him to deal with Lu Li. Unexpectedly, Chu Yan was full of excuses.
Guan Qianqiu knew very well that the conflict between Chu Yan and Lu Li was not deep.
Lu Li had humiliated Chu Yan. Chu Yan had said that he would pick a fight with Lu Li at the sect's assessment. However, Lu Li had advanced to the next rank. Once again, Chu Yan felt humiliated.
Being humiliated was not a big deal. Lu Li had become Emperor Rui's protégé and it was Lord Li who appointed him to the next rank. Naturally, Chu Yan had some concerns.
The Chu Family was a wealthy family and Emperor Rui was not afraid of them. That being said, they did not have the courage to go against Lord Li.
"Ha, ha!"
Guan Qianqiu said with a smile, "Brother Chu, I will find him. How about we do it together?
I can't handle Lu Li on my own. You can do it with your power. "
Chu Yan frowned. He thought about it and said, "Brother Guan, if Lu Li is cultivating in a place of treasure in the Celestial Sovereign Realm, I will not do anything to him no matter how bold I am.
If I am caught, not only me, even the Chu Family will be in trouble. "
"Of course!"
Guan Qianqiu said with certainty, "I can guarantee that Lu Li is not in the Celestial Emperor Universe or the Celestial Emperor City. He is cultivating in a secret realm that no one knows about.
When we get this information, we can do it quietly. After we kill Lu Li, we can erase all traces. Who will know? "
"This …"
Chu Yan fell silent. He glanced at Guan Qianqiu and said, "Old brother Guan, since you can find out where he is, why don't you go and investigate?
Then why don't you find a few people in your family to kill him? Why do you need to drag me into this?
Your family has a lot of experts. "
"I can't move it!"
Guan Qianqiu sighed in disappointment and said, "I can find some connections to investigate Lu Li's whereabouts, but I cannot mobilize any powerful warriors of the family.
This is an order from my great-grandfather. No one dares to disobey it. "
"If you can't get it, you can hire someone!"
Chu Yan still did not answer. He said, "There are so many desperadoes in the black market of the Heaven's Will Pavilion. It shouldn't be difficult for you to spend some divine stones to hire some old demons, right?
Could it be that you, Young Master Guan, can't even afford this? "
"I really can't afford it!"
Guan Qianqiu forced a smile and said, "My great-grandfather gave the order in person. I don't have more than one billion divine stones with me. I don't have the guts to borrow any. I am afraid that if the news gets back to the family, I will be locked up for ten thousand years. I will lose my mind."
Chu Yan thought about it and said, "Then … how about I lend you some divine stones?
But this is your idea. It has nothing to do with me. Do you understand? "
"Brother Chu, don't you want revenge?"
Guan Qianqiu sneered and said, "I heard that many people in our sect are talking about you. They say that you can't keep Lu Li under control. This is a blow to your prestige."
"I don't care what they say!"
Chu Yan's hand glowed. He handed over an Interspatial Ring and said, "There are five trillion divine stones here. I can buy over two or three lords.
But you must remember that killing Lu Li has nothing to do with me. It is all your idea. "
"Okay!"
Guan Qianqiu sighed and said, "Brother Chu, I will listen to you. If anything happens, I will take responsibility. Killing Lu Li has nothing to do with you."
Chu Yan nodded with satisfaction and then left. Guan Qianqiu walked Chu Yan out in person and they went back to the castle.
"Buzzing!"
Suddenly, Guan Qianqiu took out a Memory Crystal and poured divine energy into it. In midair, there was an image of Chu Yan alone.
It was Chu Yan taking out the Interspatial Ring, handing it to Guan Qianqiu and saying that it had nothing to do with him …
As the young master of the Guan Family, Guan Qianqiu's prestige had declined and his status in the family had plummeted.
That being said, it was easy for him to borrow some divine stones. Even if he didn't, he could sell some treasures and he could get several trillion divine stones.
Guan Qianqiu came to Chu Yan today for the sake of — this image. He wanted to drag Chu Yan down with him!
He didn't have to think twice about killing Lu Li.
He had to do it so that he could wash away the shame and remove the mental barrier in his mind.
If he could not remove the mental barrier, he would be doomed for the rest of his life. It would be difficult for him to make any progress. He might not even reach the Quasi Emperor Realm, let alone the Emperor Realm.
He used to be the chosen one, the pride of the Guan Family, the leader of the younger generation in the Endless Ruins of Gods.
In the future, he could become the most powerful warrior and dominate the entire Endless Ruins of Gods.
However, all of this had been destroyed by Lu Li!
Now that he was in the family, even the branch family members looked at him differently. The elders of the family were all looking at him with disappointment, exasperated that he had not lived up to their expectations.
The difference filled Guan Qianqiu's heart with hatred.
If he could not kill Lu Li and cut Lu Li into pieces, how could he vent his anger and remove the mental barrier in his mind?
Since he had made up his mind to seek revenge, he would try every possible means to set up a trap.
He could not just go to the Celestial Emperor Sect, find Lu Li and attack him directly.
In that case, even if he could enter the Celestial Emperor Sect and kill Lu Li, he would still be doomed and the Chu Family would be implicated.
Killing a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect was a serious crime!
Someone had to be responsible. The Celestial Emperor Sect would not allow anyone to challenge their dignity.
Therefore, to kill Lu Li, someone had to die. No matter how discreet he was, the Celestial Emperor Sect would eventually find out.
Therefore … he made an appointment with Chu Yan and set up a trap to get this image.
His goal was to make Chu Yan the main culprit and himself the accomplice.
The accomplice might not die, but the principal must!
As long as he killed Lu Li and was only an accomplice, the Chu Family would try their best to protect him.
After all, to be able to set up a trap to kill a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect and disassociate himself was a demonstration of his abilities.
By then, his inner demons would be eliminated and his status in the family would be restored. He would be able to reach higher realms and return to the peak.
Everything was perfect. Now, it was time to find Lu Li.
Only two people knew where Lu Li was, Emperor Rui and Wang Ningxue. Guan Qianqiu learned that Lu Li was not cultivating in the secret realm of the Celestial Emperor Sect from Wang Ningxue.
Guan Qianqiu had paid a great price to bribe a close friend of Wang Ningxue. Now, all he had to do was wait for that friend to find out where Lu Li was.
