Kuching received a phone call and immediately headed towards Gu Jueye's office.
I knocked twice on the door, and my seventh master's voice came from inside.
"Enter,"
"Seventh Master, it's Young Master Feng on the phone."
Gu Jueye buried himself in a pair of data reports, his usually calm face showing slight fluctuations.
Ku Ching handed the phone to Gu Jueye, who took it.
"Hello?"
"We've finally gotten in touch with you! Why couldn't I get through to your cell phone?"
A complaint came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Jueye glanced at the phone on his desk, pressed the power button, but the screen was black.
"The power is out."
"Enough with the chit-chat, the fish has taken the bait, you can get started now."
With a slight narrowing of his phoenix eyes, the man's handsome lips curved into a gentle smile.
Today I finally have the chance to lift that veil of mystery.
"Beep beep beep..."
As Bai Qianmo and Xu Hualan were leaving the teahouse, their cell phones suddenly rang.
Half an hour later
Located atop Phoenix Mountain outside the western part of the city, there stands Phoenix Temple, which has existed for over a century.
Because it is a private residence, it has never been open to the public for over a hundred years, and no one knows which deity is enshrined inside.
When Bai Qianmo and Rong Yi arrived, several cars were already parked outside the temple.
The entire temple was surrounded by a group of men in black.
"Miss Bai, let's get off the car."
Bai Qianmo responded and got out of the car.
Rongyi also got off the bus.
The people guarding the door saw Rong Yi and respectfully stepped forward to bow.
"Brother Yi."
"Hmm, where is Seventh Master?"
"Seventh Master and Young Master Feng are both inside."
Rong Yi nodded and said to Bai Qianmo beside him, "Miss Bai, Seventh Master is inside. I'll escort you in."
Two men in black slowly pushed open the red-lacquered wooden door of the ancient temple. Rong Yi walked ahead first, followed closely by Bai Qianmo.
Upon entering the courtyard, one finds it to be approximately 1,000 square meters, a spacious area planted with many pine, cypress, and locust trees.
In the very center was a large hall, the door of which was open at the moment, and inside there seemed to be a Buddha statue wearing a golden cloak.
Upon closer inspection, the Buddha statue was different from the Buddha statues seen in temples on ordinary days; it was closer to the face of a real person.
The Buddha statue was flanked by memorial tablets, with many incomprehensible characters carved on the wooden tablets.
But when Bai Qianmo saw these words, her expression suddenly changed to one of shock.
Isn't this the kind of mysterious writing that appears on parchment scrolls?
It seems that the mysterious master behind Liu Fuyong is likely in cahoots with the "Time and Space Administration".
This is further linked to Liu Fuyong's attempt to assassinate the Qin family and the black leaf with a cursed connotation that appeared at the Qin family's residence.
The whole truth seems to be about to come to light.
After passing through the main hall, there is another courtyard.
There was a noticeably more human presence here; the door to one of the rooms was wide open, and conversation could be heard coming from inside.
Bai Qianmo immediately walked towards that room.
Upon entering the room, they witnessed a bloody scene.
There were several men in black lying haphazardly on the ground; judging from their clothing, they were probably Gu Jueye's men.
They huddled on the ground, the patches of blood on the white porcelain floor a horrifying sight.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qianmo's heart tightened, and she looked at one of the men in black who was still conscious.
Where is your Seventh Master?
The man's face was tightly furrowed, as if he were enduring great pain.
Bai Qianmo then noticed that his throat had been slit.
Without thinking twice, she immediately used her energy secretly, placing one hand on the other person's wound and injecting her energy to stabilize their life.
The person finally slowly opened their eyes, and seemed to regain some consciousness.
Rong Yi immediately pressed, "Where is Seventh Master?"
The man used all his strength to raise his finger and point at a mural, then immediately fainted.
Bai Qianmo glanced at the mural. It was a picture of a tiger descending a mountain, and the mechanism must be in this painting.
She stood up and walked towards the mural, and Rongyi immediately reminded her.
"Miss Bai, be careful, there may be traps in the room."
At this moment, Rong Yi was filled with worry. Looking across the country, any member of the Feng family was a top-notch expert.
The fact that these Feng family members, who were seriously injured, were in such a state, and that there were no signs of a fight in the room, indicates that the entire battle was very brief.
This demonstrates that the attackers were more skilled than these people.
"Click"
The sound of an instrument being activated pulled Rong Yi back to her senses.
He looked up at Bai Qianmo and saw that the painting of a tiger descending the mountain had opened to the left and right, revealing a hidden door inside.
"Rongyi, find a way to get these people to the hospital as soon as possible. I'm going in to check on them."
“Miss Bai, the situation inside might be dangerous. I’d better go in myself.”
"Seventh Master is inside, I must go down."
Without further ado, Bai Qianmo stepped inside.
Seeing this, Rong Yi could only immediately call for people to carry the injured away for treatment.
The room was very dark
Bai Qianmo took out her phone for light and walked along the narrow tunnel for about a few minutes until she finally saw another door.
At this moment, the door is open, and the sounds of people talking can be faintly heard from inside.
Bai Qianmo tiptoed to the doorway and looked inside.
A few torches were lit in the room, but the entire secret chamber was too large, so the light was still very dim.
"Yin Chi, you've finally shown yourself."
The speaker was a strange man, tall and straight, with a short buzz cut and a square face, who had a dashing and heroic air about him.
A tall figure stood beside him; from the doorway, only the other person's back could be seen.
Even though the light was dim and the other person was just a silhouette, Bai Qianmo recognized who it was at a glance.
Seeing that Gu Jueye was safe and sound, a huge weight was finally lifted from my heart.
