Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"And remember this, everyone: no one is allowed to leave!"

"Why, Elder?" one of the remaining spies asked.

Wang Dali didn't explain, he just pointed to the two holes in front of him, and then went back to his tent.

The leader was still somewhat confused and completely bewildered.

One of his henchmen pointed to the spot and shouted, "Boss, look!"

"Who is so powerful that they actually created two craters in Buzhou Mountain? They are really too strong!"

Upon seeing the two pits, the leader realized that the Giant Strength Sect had offended a powerful deity this time!

Back on Li Xiu's side, after activating the treasure hunting function, Li Xiu once again ventured deep into Buzhou Mountain to search for treasure.

To be fair, this function is still somewhat mysterious.

Li Xiu simply had a vague feeling that heading in that direction might bring him a pleasant surprise.

However, this feeling is quite vague, and if you don't pay close attention, you might not even notice this unique sensation.

Chapter 1345 Returning to the Base

"What's going on? They gave us a free feature, but it's so hard to use," Li Xiu couldn't help but complain.

"Could it be that I'm too far from that treasure land? Would it be better if I were closer?" Despite his complaints, Li Xiu still trusted the system's information.

"If we go up the mountain, why do I feel like we're going back?" Li Xiu grasped the mysterious feeling that flashed through his mind, and that feeling pointed to the direction that he and Li Duotian had taken when they went down the mountain.

Li Xiu didn't think too much about it anymore and decided to just leave first. After all, Buzhou Mountain was still an empty mountain, and he was probably the only one who could go deep into it.

Once he had identified the direction, Li Xiu walked faster and faster, rushing towards the mountain.

However, what puzzled Li Xiu was that although he was very fast, the profound feeling in his mind did not become clearer as a result, as if it had never changed.

"How strange! Could it be that I'm going in the wrong direction?" After noticing this odd phenomenon, Li Xiu stopped and began to study it.

“Li Duotian and I came from the center of Buzhou Mountain. Logically speaking, if there were any treasures, we should have felt them very clearly when we came out.”

"But now, this feeling hasn't changed. Could it be that..."

Li Xiu also began to make bold guesses in his mind.

If one's own feelings are accurate, then the fact that these feelings are becoming increasingly vague means that one is getting further and further away from that treasure!

"No way, could it be that the real treasure is actually at the bottom of Buzhou Mountain?" Li Xiu was also shocked by this idea.

"I thought I could get there first, but it seems I have to go down the mountain and meet those sects now," Li Xiu said helplessly.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Duotian also asked, "What if we take another route?"

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu asked curiously when he heard Li Duotian offer his opinion.

“Master, when we came out, we just subconsciously climbed up, thinking that the top was the way out, since we fell in from the mountain.”

"However, it seems neither of us noticed whether that jade passage runs through the entire mountain range."

Upon hearing Li Duotian's words, Li Xiu's thoughts began to become clearer.

"That's right, since when I came in, the upper half of Buzhou Mountain was turned upside down."

"If, after turning around, the passage connects directly upwards, then turning back would lead to the bottom of the mountain!"

“You’re right, but there’s still one problem,” Li Xiu continued.

"Since the original path is gone and has become the base of the mountain, how do we get in?"

Li Duotian also fell into deep thought; clearly, he hadn't considered the issue comprehensively.

Given the sheer size of Buzhou Mountain, it would be unrealistic to search the entire mountain.

Li Xiu is in a very difficult situation right now. He knows there is a treasure, but he doesn't know how to get inside.

It's so frustrating that I can't eat the meat at the very edge because I can't tear open the plastic wrap.

"It seems I need to go back; I can't rely on my own strength alone."

So Li Xiu and Li Duotian returned the way they came, back to the Juli Sect's headquarters.

Within Mount Buzhou, time seemed to have no concept of existence, passing by in a flash.

Chapter 1346 Giant Strength Sect

When Li Xiu and Li Duotian returned to their post, it was already night.

The lingering smell of the fire in the air proved that dinner had just been eaten here.

Seeing the lights in the tents, Li Xiu realized that these people needed to rest for the night.

"Which tent was that elder in?" Li Xiu suddenly realized this crucial question.

It's no wonder Li Xiu couldn't remember, after all, when they arrived here, they were incredibly arrogant, standing right in the middle waiting for others to greet them.

Now that you're here, finding Elder Wang Dali of the Giant Strength Sect might be a bit difficult.

"What should I do?" Li Xiu paced back and forth, deep in thought.

"That's it! I've got it!" Suddenly, Li Xiu stopped, clearly having thought of a very reliable method.

Seeing Li Xiu's expression, Li Duotian asked, "Master, have you come up with a good idea?"

"Do you remember when Wang Dali fought with us, he lost an arm?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Li Duotian asked.

"Then we can follow the bloodstains to find the tent where he lived!" Li Xiu explained.

With this lead, Li Xiu and Li Duotian immediately took action.

Holding his breath, he moved lightly and stealthily toward the temporary headquarters of the Giant Strength Sect.

Although these two are strong enough to easily wipe out this place.

However, if the commotion is too great, the news will inevitably leak out.

Some things are best done in secret.

Li Xiu and Li Duotian arrived just in time. Although Wang Dali's bloodstains had almost dried, the traces were still faintly visible.

Li Xiu and Li Duotian then followed the blood trail toward a tent.

However, whether it will be a one-shot kill is another matter.

At this moment, Wang Dali was completely unaware that he had been replaced again.

He was lying in his tent, his arm wrapped in bandages, looking quite disheveled.

And now, in his miserable state, he has no one to take care of him.

There was one thing that Li Xiu and Li Duotian didn't know: the rules of the Giant Strength Sect were extremely strict.

The Giant Strength Sect is a place that highly values ​​strength.

If you have the ability, you will have a very high position, and it is common for you to be promoted without prior appointment.

However, on the other hand, if someone is seriously injured in battle, resulting in a significant drop in strength, then falling from grace is not so uncommon.

At this point, Wang Dali had lost his prestige in the garrison.

The other disciples were still discussing this matter while they were having dinner.

To put it simply, although these disciples respected Wang Dali, they still didn't take him seriously as a crippled man.

Meanwhile, in another tent, two men who looked alike were discussing something; it seemed that these two brothers were twins.

"Brother, what did you say Wang Dali got injured about?" the younger brother asked.

The older brother looked fierce, stomping his foot hard on the ground as he said, "It's good that he's crippled!"

"If it weren't for the higher-ups bestowing upon him a cultivation manual that greatly increased his strength, this elder's position would have been mine!"

It seems there are quite a few conflicts of interest within the Giant Strength Sect.

When Li Xiu and Li Duotian passed by the tent, they heard someone mention Wang Dali, so they stopped outside to listen carefully.

Chapter 1347 Raising a Mole

The two brothers were still researching Wang Dali's matter.

After all, it's irreversible that Wang Dali has been crippled, so we should find a good time to make him step down and give way to a more capable person.

Of course, Li Xiu had no interest in the internal struggles of other sects; he was only interested in treasures.

Following the trail of blood, we finally saw the person disappear into a tent.

"It seems this is the tent." Li Xiu and Li Duo exchanged a glance, and the two of them quietly crept over.

However, by sheer coincidence, Wang Dali was just about to go to the restroom.

As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the tent, his eyes were immediately covered and his mouth was pressed tightly shut, and Wang Dali was forced back inside.

Li Xiu, Li Duotian, and Wang Dali disappeared into the tent at an incredible speed, so fast that even the patrolling sentries didn't notice anything amiss.

After entering, Li Duotian looked outside and, finding that he and Li Xiu hadn't been noticed, turned and nodded to Li Xiu.

The first step was successfully completed, and Li Xiu released his hands from Wang Dali's eyes, whispering in his ear, "I'll let go of him in a bit, don't make a sound, understand?"

Wang Dali was terrified. He was already seriously injured, and those subordinates really had no sense of discipline. They killed him under the cover of darkness, and he had no power to resist.
