“Zheng！ ……”
As soon as the two finished speaking, they faintly heard a sword cry explode above the secret room.
“Peng！”
Before the two could even react, a steel needle that resembled a silver needle but was countless times thicker pierced through the entire secret room.
“This is the Xiaoyao Sect’s magic treasure, the Inverse Scale Needle. We’ve been discovered by the people from the Nine Prefectures！”
After recognizing the steel needle, the gray-haired Thousand Leader of the Faceless Tower looked at Thousand Leader Lü with a face full of horror.
“Impossible. When I came back, there was definitely no one following me behind！”
Thousand Leader Lü was still very certain.
“Bang, bang, bang！ ……”
As soon as the words fell, more steel needles were inserted into the ground from above the ground. A Faceless One having nowhere to hide, had his body penetrated on the spot.
“It’s over. The Earth Escape Formation I set up has also been destroyed by them. We can’t get out.”
The gray-haired Thousand Leader slumped down on the stone chair with a dejected look on his face.
Thousand Leader Lü somewhat unwillingly took out the spirit mirror, wanting to see the situation outside, but after just one look, his face turned deathly pale.
In the spirit mirror, the ruins of Greenwater City had already been shrouded by a huge sword formation.
And outside the periphery of this sword formation, there were at least over a hundred powerful cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect and the Nine Prefectures, all on full alert.
Among them were Xu Taiping and Dugu Qingxiao, who had previously fought against him.
“Whether to surrender or be killed on the spot, you choose for yourselves.”
At this time, only the cold voice of Du Gu Qingxiao was heard, suddenly coming from above the ground.
Lv Qianshou and the old Qianshou looked at each other and sighed in unison.
Then only the old Qianshou helplessly shook his head and said：
First surrender. As long as Master Song is still in the secular world, there is a possibility for you and me to escape.
Hearing this, Lv Qianshou nodded, and then said with a somewhat unwilling expression：
If we can survive this disaster, we must definitely avenge this humiliation on the Jiufu and Qingxuan in the future！
Saying this, the two walked out of the secret room one after another.
……
A moment later.
On the ruins of Lvzhu City.
Unexpectedly, it was really as you guessed, Taiping. This one-armed man and his accomplices are really hiding under the ground of Lvzhu City.
Looking at Lv Qianshou and several other Faceless Ones whose pipebones were chained and cultivation bases were sealed by the Jiufu, Du Gu Qingxiao turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and said in a slightly surprised tone.
If it weren’t weren’t for Liu Baizhi and the Guren clan accidentally revealing this place when they were talking, I your junior brother, wouldn’t have guessed that he would be hiding here either.
Xu Taiping said with a calm smile.
Du Gu Qingxiao nodded and didn’t continue to ask.
Taiping, Qingxiao, do the two of you have anything to ask these two people？
Just then, Huangque brought several walkers from the Nine Courts and escorted Lu Qianshou and several other Faceless Ones to Xu Taiping and Du Gu Qingxiao.
”Brother Huangque, have you found out anything？”
Du Gu Qingxiao asked Huangque.
”These people only said their identities in the Faceless Tower, and nothing else.”
Huangque frowned and glanced at Lu Qianshou and the elderly man, then introduced them to Du Gu Qingxiao and Xu Taiping：
”This one-armed man is Lu Shaohai, the thousand-chief of the West Tower of the Faceless Tower. This old man is named Lu Chengman, and he is also a thousand-chief of the West Tower of the Faceless Tower.”
Being able to capture so many arsonists at once was originally a very happy thing, but after learning the identities of these people, Huangque suddenly felt tricky.
Beings at the level of the thousand-chiefs of the Faceless Tower, if not handled properly, are very likely to make the entire Faceless Tower bear a grudge against the Nine Courts.
”They are actually Faceless Ones at the thousand-chief level…”
Du Gu Qingxiao also frowned upon hearing this.
”Brother Huangque, can I search their bodies？”
Xu Taiping suddenly asked Huangque.
”Yes, but we just searched them again and didn’t find anything useful.”
Huangque shook his head.
What he most wanted to find from these people was naturally the identities of those people in the Forgotten Sorrow Valley of Jue Ming Tian and the evidence of their arson.
“It’s okay, just looking around casually.”
Xu Taiping directly walked towards Lü Qianshou and Lu Qianshou.
After seeing the Lotus Pupil Spell Seal and the scenes foreseen on Li Muyang and Liu Baizhi respectively, he was very clear that these two, Lü Qianshou and Lu Qianshou, were the insiders among these Faceless Ones.
“Xu Taiping, was it… was it you who killed Liu Baizhi？”
When Xu Taiping approached, Lü Qianshou glared at Xu Taiping fiercely and asked in a somewhat weak tone.
“Hmm.”
Xu Taiping nodded expressionlessly, and then began to search the nearby Lu Qianshou on his own, not even looking at Lü Qianshou.
“Do you know who he is？”
Lü Qianshou sneered when he heard this.
After hearing this, Xu Taiping, who had already finished searching Lu Qianshou, put away the dozen or so bloody Spear Gu that he had found on Lu Qianshou and then stood up and quietly looked at Lu Qianshou.
After a long silence, he asked Lü Qianshou instead：
“Do you know a cultivator named Li Muyang？”
Lü Qianshou thought for a while, and then sneered and said：
“Is it that idiot whom I planted the Blood Spear Gu on？”
Although he hadn’t heard of the name Li Muyang, as shrewd as he was, he immediately associated it with that Qingxuan Sect disciple whom he had planted the Blood Spear Gu on.
Because his original intention was to use Li Muyang to deceive Du Gu Qingxiao into Luoxia Valley and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
“In my opinion, regardless of what Liu Baizhi’s identity is, both of you should pay with your lives for this little junior brother.”
While speaking, Xu Taiping reached out expressionlessly and forcefully pinched Lu Qian’s neck.
And the moment the spell mark in his left palm came into contact with Lu Qian’s neck, a soul mark entered his mind.
Obviously, Lotus Eye had foreseen something on Lu Qian.
“Click…”
However, Xu Taiping didn’t rush to check but increased the strength of his hand that was pinching Lu Qian’s neck.
“Cough cough cough… Xu Taiping, you can’t kill me！”
After coughing several times in a row, Lu Qian, who was being choked by the neck by Xu Taiping, suddenly turned red in the face and threatened Xu Taiping with a ferocious smile.
“Taiping, don’t be impulsive. Hand this person over to our Nine Mansions for handling.”
At this time, Huang Que quickly came to Xu Taiping.
But before he could get close, he was blocked by Du Gu Qingxiao’s outstretched hand.
“Qingxiao, Taiping doesn’t understand, but don’t you understand？” Huangque looked at Dugu Qingxiao helplessly. “If it were just an ordinary Baishou, it would be fine, but we can’t easily touch the Qianshou of the Faceless Tower. Even if we want to, we have to do it in the name of the Nine Mansions. Otherwise, you and your Qingxuan Sect will surely be targeted by the Faceless Tower！”
Huangque was indeed well-intentioned.
Because if these Faceless Ones were judged in the name of the Nine Mansions, if the Faceless Tower dared to take revenge on Xu Taiping, it would be an enemy of the entire True Martial Heaven. Even if the other sects in the True Martial Heaven didn’t want to, they would have to help.
But if Xu Taiping took private revenge on him, when the Faceless Tower retaliated against the Qingxuan Sect and Xu Taiping, the other sects, fearing to bring trouble upon themselves, would naturally stand by and watch coldly.
“Xu Taiping, come on, if you have the ability, come and kill me！”
After hearing Huangque’s words, that Lu Qianshou became even more emboldened, and a hideous smile appeared on his flushed face.
“Taiping, listen to my advice. Hand this matter over to the Nine Mansions, and the Nine Mansions will definitely give your Qingxuan Sect a satisfactory answer.”
Huangque then persuaded again.
