"Master? Where are we going?"

Lu Li lowered his eyes and slowly said, "Let's go to Yunmeng Mountain first."

He wanted to find the truth, and his first stop was Yunmeng Mountain, because he didn't know if the Guigu lineage still existed.

Yunmeng Mountain was not too far from here. Along the way, Lu Li led Dian Wei to gather information while traveling.

Lu Li gradually gained a better understanding of this era, but the common people did not know much about the history of the early Han Dynasty, and some even knew less than Lai Fu.

To uncover the truth of what happened back then, Lu Li could only seek out Confucian scholars from that era.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he suppressed all other schools of thought and exclusively promoted Confucianism.

After that, the Hundred Schools of Thought began to decline, leaving only Confucianism as the dominant school.

But this does not mean that the other schools of thought have all perished; they still exist, but they all live in seclusion.

The three arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, where, after four hundred years, tremendous changes had taken place.

The area at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain used to be where the outer disciples lived, but now not a single house can be seen.

Lu Li felt a sense of profound change and transformation.

He looked up and saw that the summit of Yunmeng Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes; there used to be many familiar faces here—his fellow disciples.

Now, everything has changed.

"Master, Yunmeng Mountain is just ahead. Would you like to go up and take a look?" Laifu asked, pointing ahead.

He noticed Lu Li's sadness, so he made the suggestion.

"Okay, let's go up."

Lu Li nodded, and then the three of them climbed Yunmeng Mountain.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, the mountainside of Yunmeng Mountain was flat, a place that felt both familiar and strange to Lu Li.

The scenes from his memory resurfaced in his mind, bringing tears to Lu Li's eyes.

The stone tablet that originally belonged to the foot of the mountain and was inscribed with the words "Guigu" has now been moved to the mountainside.

Lu Li recognized it at a glance; the stone tablet was still the same stone tablet, unchanged in the slightest.

Moreover, his eyes were a little moist, a complex feeling, like a sense of belonging, which filled Lu Li's heart with excitement and anticipation.

He touched the stone tablet engraved with the words "Guigu" and then said softly, "Let's go in."

Just as Lu Li and the other two were about to continue uphill, a long spear suddenly thrust towards them.

Lu Li raised an eyebrow slightly, reached out and knocked the spear away, then pulled Dian Wei and Lai Fu aside to avoid it.

"who!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Li's eyes as he let out a cold shout.

Dian Wei was in a fighting stance, ready to fight at any moment.

A figure slowly emerged from the clouds.

"Who dares to trespass into my Ghost Valley?"

The man was dressed in black, very handsome, but his face was gloomy and his eyes were deep, revealing a ruthless nature.

"My name is Lu Li. I have come here by chance after traveling around." Lu Li cupped his hands in greeting and said very politely.

"Lu Li?"

The man in black frowned slightly, carefully examining Lu Li, and thought to himself, "This person actually shares the same name as the ancestor of Ghost Valley!"

"I don't care who you are, get out of here now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" the man in black shouted in a deep voice.

Lu Li immediately sensed the fluctuations of internal energy emanating from this person. A sixth-level martial artist, he was already able to skillfully utilize internal energy.

A slight smile played on his lips as he asked calmly, "Who are you? And why are you blocking my way?"

"I am Zhang Ren, a direct disciple of Guiguzi! You have trespassed into the forbidden area of ​​Yunmeng Mountain and ask who I am? How ridiculous!" Zhang Ren sneered.

Upon hearing this name, Lu Li was immediately startled!

Zhang Ren?

Could it be Zhang Ren, the one who shot and killed Pang Tong at Luofeng Slope?

After saying that, Zhang Ren snorted coldly and actually pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, thrusting it at Lu Li.

With each swing of the spear, a fierce wind howled, displaying unparalleled power.

Lu Li smiled slightly and calmly met the attack.

He simply stretched out his middle and index fingers and caught the tip of his gun.

"Hiss~"

Zhang Ren gasped. His spear was a top-grade treasure weapon, incomparably sharp.

Yet, Lu Li managed to catch this incredibly sharp spear with his bare hands.

His eyes widened, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face as he stared at Lu Li in disbelief.

Just how terrifying is this guy's physical strength? He actually managed to catch his precious spear with his bare hands?

Lu Li flicked his right hand, knocking the spear out of Zhang Ren's hand. Then, he flipped his palm, pulled the spear back, and casually tossed it to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei caught the spear, a look of excitement on his face.

Zhang Ren's eyes reddened as he watched this scene.

This was his prized weapon, and it was just stolen like that?

Moreover, Lu Li's move just now directly pulled his spear away, and he had no way to stop it.

This enraged Zhang Ren, who roared, "Give me back my precious spear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ren transformed into a blur and pounced on Lu Li once again.

Lu Li calmly pointed a finger at Zhang Ren, who was immediately thrown away by a powerful force.

Zhang Ren struggled to his feet, his face showing a hint of fear and shock.

This power is something even his master probably couldn't achieve, and this person seems to be doing it so casually, as if he hasn't used any of his strength at all.

Just who is this guy?

Zhang Ren was deeply shocked and dared not provoke Lu Li again.
