The time agreed with Chugou No. 5 was in the afternoon, but Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou arrived at the dungeon in the morning.
They shook off the surveillance of the Sirius Empire and met Liu Songping again in the underground city.
Liu Songping has now firmly established himself as the leader of the Qinglong Society. Internal problems have been resolved, but the threats from outside have not stopped.
The news of Huang Laowu's death has spread to other forces. Recently, some strange people have often appeared in their territories, all of whom came to inquire about the situation of the Qinglong Society.
Liu Songping was particularly worried that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou would not come back. If that happened, he would not be able to withstand the pressure from external forces by himself, because there would be several forces eyeing the Qinglong Society at the same time. If there were only one or two forces, he would still be able to withstand it.
When Liu Songping learned that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were coming, he was very happy and immediately came out to greet them.
"Master, how come you have time to come here today?"
"There are some things that need to be dealt with. How is the Qinglong Club doing recently?"
The two followed Liu Songping to a meeting room, and Gao Han asked casually.
Liu Songping's face lit up. "Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me. The Azure Dragon Society is doing fine recently, but there have been some foreign forces coming here to investigate in the past few days."
Gao Han looked at his cultivation level and said, "You probably haven't been practicing much recently, have you?" His cultivation level didn't improve much.
Liu Songping looked embarrassed when he heard this. "The Qinglong Society has just accepted it. There are many things that I need to do personally. Every time I go into seclusion, I have to come out to deal with various things."
"In this case, you will never make any progress. Do you know why your cultivation has not improved?" Gao Han said meaningfully.
Liu Songping immediately understood and said, "Master, do you mean that we pay too much attention to external things?"
"When cultivating immortals, you cannot have too many external things attached to you, because they will distract your mind. Once you have too many things hidden in your heart, it will affect your progress in cultivation. Cultivating immortals is not only about cultivating your body, but also cultivating your mind."
"I will keep the words of the Immortal in mind."
"Regarding the threats from other forces, I will find two people to help you. You should improve your own strength first." After saying that, Gao Han threw two more top-grade spirit stones to him, "Improve as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Immortal." Liu Songping was overjoyed. He had already experienced the benefits brought by this spiritual stone.
Originally, he thought that this was the energy stone they usually used. Because the energy in the energy stone was complex, they did not dare to absorb it all the time. This was because absorbing too much energy stone would accumulate a lot of impurities in the body, as well as the violent energy in the energy stone.
However, this did not happen with the spirit stones given by the immortal. In the eyes of the immortal, his cultivation was not much of an improvement, but he could feel it himself.
In just a few days, his improvement in cultivation was equivalent to the effect of one year of cultivation in the past.
"Do you know this place?" Gao Han told Liu Songping the place where Chugou No. 5 had agreed to meet them.
After hearing the address he gave, Liu Songping's face flashed with surprise, "Is the Immortal going to this address to do business?"
"Um."
"This address is on the territory of the Eagle Gang. The Eagle Gang is one of the forces that covets the Azure Dragon Society. Recently, they have been sending people to our territory to inquire about Huang Laowu. The leader of the Eagle Gang, like Huang Laowu, has connections with Cobra."
During the few days without practicing, Liu Songping did not waste any time to learn everything that Huang Laowu had not told him before.
"The Eagle Gang is the largest force in the underground city. Their leader is even stronger than Huang Laowu and has always wanted to unify the underground city. After Huang Laowu's death, the Eagle Gang has been active, looking for an opportunity to annex the Qinglong Society. If we go to the Eagle Gang's territory, they should take this opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop." "The Eagle Gang is not a problem. Help me check this place. We have to go there to meet someone this afternoon, but we can't be discovered by the Eagle Gang."
If it were normal times, Gao Han wouldn't care, but he was worried that Chugou No. 5 was already there, and these noises would make Chugou No. 5 suspicious.
These straw dogs never reveal their true colors in front of other members, and only a few people in the Heavenly Sect know them.
"I'll check it out right away." Liu Songping could tell that the two men took the matter very seriously and decided to investigate it himself.
"No need to check, just take us to see it." Gao Han stopped him.
He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he thought it would be safer to handle the matter himself.
It's not that he didn't trust Liu Songping, but Liu Songping's cultivation level was not necessarily that high. Chugou No. 5's cultivation level might even be higher than his. No matter how careful he was, he might still be discovered.
"Then shall we go now?" Liu Songping asked.
"Well, now."
Liu Songping made arrangements without saying a word, telling everyone that he was in seclusion, and then quietly left the Qinglong Society with the two of them. He had been in seclusion occasionally recently, and everyone was used to it.
The Eagle Gang's territory is larger than that of the Azure Dragon Gang, and members who join the gang are required to have a minimum cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining.
The closer you get to the Eagle Gang's headquarters, the more you'll see members with eagle tattoos on their bodies, and they all have fierce looks on their faces.
"The building in front is the headquarters of the Eagle Gang. The place the immortal mentioned is in the building to the right of the headquarters." Liu Songping brought them to the vicinity and told them while pointing to the tall and big building.
Gao Han glanced at the Eagle Gang's headquarters, then looked at the buildings on the right, which were obviously shorter and seemed to be some villa gardens.
"Could it be that Chugou No. 5 is a member of the Eagle Gang?" Zhongli Tingzhou said with interest.
"The possibility is not high. The members of Tianjiao are relatively low-key, while the Eagle Gang is too conspicuous." They also want to annex the Qinglong Society.
Gao Han said to Liu Songping, "You go back first, we will stay here and wait for others."
"Master, when will the person you just mentioned be sent?" Liu Songping couldn't help but ask before leaving.
"Their names are Nie Yihao and Li Fan. I will ask them to come find you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Immortal." Liu Songping said and left.
Not long after he left, Gao Han's figure gradually became blurred, and then became clear again after a while.
If Liu Songping had not left, he would definitely have recognized this person as Tang Yujie.
Gao Han turned himself into Tang Yujie. Zhongli Tingzhou was able to break through the illusion and saw him in person. Those with lower cultivation than him thought it was Tang Yujie.
"Murder and arson are essential in every home." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a sigh.
"It's not available in Lingtian Continent." Gao Han said with a smile.
There are simply too many powerful people in Lingtian Continent. Those with higher cultivation than them can be encountered even when walking on the street. This simple illusion has no effect on them.
The cultivation level of immortal cultivators in the Xuantu Universe is generally low, so this kind of illusion is only useful in this universe.
"You stay outside and I'm going to meet Straw Dog No. 5."
Zhongli Tingzhou wanted to go with him, but Gao Han disagreed. Chugou No. 5 was cautious by nature, and if there was one more person, he might not be willing to show up.
Tang Yujie was on Neptune, so Gao Han arrived at the destination early.
Just as he walked into the villa garden, the people hiding in the dark saw him.
"Is it Cobra?" There was another masked man in the shadows.
"It's definitely him." The person next to him replied, his voice was hoarse and his true tone could not be heard. He was Straw Dog No. 5, and he also wore a mask on his face.
"The Gao family incident, as far as I can remember, happened nearly thirty years ago. How could he know about it?"
"Maybe I heard it from others. Although it has been 30 years, we didn't find anything at the time, so the matter was left unresolved."
"Didn't you say that there was another survivor in the Gao family? That survivor later disappeared and no one saw him again."
The man in the shadows looked at Straw Dog No. 5 and said, "Speaking of which, there is one thing I'm curious about. Three or four years ago, didn't you get news about that person? Why did you suddenly have no news later?"
"Because the news was cut off again, that person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found."
The Liuhuo Galaxy is not their active territory, and many things are beyond their reach. By the time they discovered it, they had already lost track of the other party.
After investigating for nearly half a year, there was still no news from the other party, so we had to stop.
"So, do you think Cobra can give you any information about that person's whereabouts?"
Straw Dog No. 5 smiled and said, "I don't know, but I hope so, otherwise..."
He didn't continue with the rest of the sentence, the dangerous implication was obvious.
"I want to go see him. Do you want to come with me?" he asked.
The person in the darkness looked around Gao Han again, and only walked out of the shadows when he was sure that there was no suspicious person. He was also wearing a mask on his face.
"Go, something happened to the Qinglong Society recently. Huang Laowu died, and his subordinate Liu Songping took over. Cobra had a deal with Huang Laowu. On the day Huang Laowu died, Cobra was also in the Qinglong Society."
"Do you suspect Cobra was responsible?"
As they talked, they walked towards the garden of the villa.
Gao Han noticed them as they approached, recognizing the mask on their faces immediately, but he didn't look over, as if he didn't notice their approach.
He didn't stand up until the two people came into his sight and looked over with an expressionless face.
"Why is there another person?" Gao Han looked at the masked man.
"He came to ask about Huang Laowu. You should have been there a few days ago, right?" Chugou No. 5 walked in front of Gao Han.
"What happened to Huang Laowu's death? Who killed him?" asked the masked man.
"Does it matter who killed him?" Gao Han asked.
The masked man frowned, "Nothing was heard that day. With Huang Laowu's strength, even if someone close to him took action, it would be impossible to kill him in an instant. To be able to kill Huang Laowu without attracting the attention of the outside world, this person must be very powerful. In three days, the Sirius Empire will have a negotiation with the alien royal family, and no mistakes can be allowed!"
"I had already left that place at that time and didn't know what happened there. I only heard about Huang Laowu's death afterwards." After Gao Han finished speaking, he ignored the masked man and looked at Chu Gou No. 5.
"I want to know what happened in the Gao family incident that year, and then I will tell you the information I got."
