Chu Li nodded slowly. He levitated to the attic above the stone wall and saw the coffin placed at the center of the first floor.

The temperature in this building was very low. Huge ice cubes were surrounding all around.

Shu Qingdie laid quietly in the coffin as if she had fallen into an eternal slumber.

Chu Li stared at her face with utter guilt and sorry. He felt dejected but furious at the same time.

After a long while, Chu Li picked up his heavy heart and tucked away his mixed feelings. After taking a deep breath, he felt rejuvenated again. Chu Li knew that the only thing he could do now was revenge and to destroy the murderer who had killed her!

With the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li searched through Shu Qingdies body inside and out to find out what was the exact martial arts technique that was used to kill her. He needed to hunt down this murderer to avenge her.

Unfortunately, apart from the knife marks on Shu Qingdies body, she had no other external injuries, and surprisingly no internal injuries even. It became obvious that she was beheaded with a single hit and she had no chance at all.

Chu Li frowned and groaned.

This clearly showed that the opponents martial arts was far superior to hers or she was caught off guard, and did not expect that the other party would kill her. In other words, she was killed by someone close to her.

The sound of footsteps was heard and before Chu Li could turn his head around, the Omniscient Mirror had already seen someone coming.

Li Hanyan was dressed in a lake green gown and her pretty face was as fair as jade. With her slender and graceful figure, she gently stepped into the pavilion. She came to Chu Lis back and called out, Brother Chu

Chu Li turned to look at her and nodded his head.

Li Hanyan crossed her slender and delicate arms as she bowed her head. Brother Chu, its all my fault. I failed to protect Senior Sister Shu.

Chu Li turned around and looked at her.

Li Hanyan explained, I was supposed to be with her but Senior Sister Su said that the two of us going out together would be too eye-catching, so she went out of the valley on her own. I wasnt able to insist on going with her and

Chu Li interrupted her. What on earth was she up to?

She went out to send a letter, Li Hanyan replied. It was a letter written by the Pavilion Leader herself.

To whom was the letter for? Chu Li asked.

Li Hanyan shook her head. Only Senior Sister Shu knows.

Chu Li nodded. Where was Miss Shus body discovered?

In a woods thirty kilometers away, Li Hanyan answered.

Who found her? Chu Li frowned.

Me, Li Hanyan said.

Chu Li stared at her.

Li Hanyan looked down in embarrassment. I just wanted to go outside for a walk.

She knew that Snow Lunar Pavilion disciples remained in hiding because Du Feng had killed King An. The Emperor had issued a hunting order against Du Feng. Due to Du Fengs relations to Snow Lunar Pavilion, they had now become a public enemy, so it was best not to go out.

Deep down inside Li Hanyan, there was a thirst for adventure and she yearned for an adrenaline rush. Thus, unbeknownst to her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, she snuck outside but unexpectedly discovered Shu Qingdies body.

Take me to that location! Chu Li demanded.

Yes. Li Hanyan nodded swiftly.

The two came out of Snow Lunar Pavilions valley and went into the woods.

It was already early winter but the woods were still lush. Chu Li furrowed his brows and glanced around and found more than twenty martial arts masters hiding in the dark. To his astonishment, there were more than twenty of them and they were all glaring toward the valley from afar, like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Although they could not get into the valley due to the protection of formations, they had not given up. Each one of them had a burning desire to kill and was plotting to ambush Snow Lunar Pavilions disciples.

Chu Li wore a gloomy expression as he levitated onto a tree branch, his eyes glimmering like electricity. He threatened in a deep voice, Whoever dares to move within three meters of Snow Lunar Pavilion will be killed without pardon!

All this time, Chu Li had been suppressing his raging fury. He would die for a chance to slaughter one of these buggers. At this time, discovering twenty-over masters who were eyeing Snow Lunar Pavilion made him more vexed. He had a strong urge to cripple them.

Ha! Several cold jeers could be heard coming from the woods.

Chu Li swept his glance toward that direction and replied coldly, You can try!

Lets try it then. A young man came out from hiding and emerged in front of Chu Li. Who are you?

Chu Li, he said coldly.

Du Feng of the South and Chu Li of the North. Ha, Ive longed to meet you in person! The young man sneered dismissively. Whats your relationship with Snow Lunar Pavilion till youre willing to go all out for them?

Why did you guys come to Snow Lunar Pavilion? Chu Li scoffed. To obtain Du Fengs whereabouts, right? Theres no need to go to Snow Lunar Pavilion. Du Feng has fled from the Ji Dynasty to the Fu Dynasty. You cant find Du Feng even if you flip the entire Snow Lunar Pavilion over!

Is that so? The young man looked shocked.

Youre one step away from the three-meter radius! Chu Li warned him.

Chu Li, though youre fabled, we arent a bunch of weaklings either. I live to defy rules like these! the young man said, taking three steps forward, already stepping into the demarcation line of three meters, looking proudly at Chu Li.

Chu Li swung his hand.

Suddenly, there was a soft squeak. A flying blade struck the young man.

The young man was swept off his feet and collided heavily onto a pine tree where he remained motionless.

The flying blade pinned the young man to the tree like a nail and he was directly knocked out cold.

Chu Li glanced at the remainder of the conspiring bunch. Whoevers not satisfied, just come directly. Im intrigued to see how many of you dare to wreak havoc on Snow Lunar Pavilion. he taunted.

Chu Lis strike had stunned everyone.

The young man who came out earlier was a gifted genius. He was already a Heavenly Master at a tender age and his cultivation was profound. He was at about the same level as the rest of them. Yet, Chu Li only needed a single hit to settle him. This had undeniably shaken them to the core. They all knew that challenging Chu Li would be nothing but folly.

Chu Li let scorned and continued forward with Li Hanyan.

Now, thats how you take care of these fellows. Li Hanyan praised. They were evil people. Like a pack of hungry wolves, they can spring onto us like prey at any given time. We had our guards raised all the time because we dont know how to deal with them!

Chu Li said, Next time, just kill them off directly like what I did!

They stayed hidden far away and ran as soon as I chased them! Li Hanyan said helplessly. All the people who come here have top-notch light-body technique. I wont be able to catch them once they start fleeing. Its so frustrating.

Chu Li furrowed his brows and nodded.

The two finally came to an empty spot in the woods.

Chu Li saw blood on the withered grass and also the several trees that were splashed with bloodstains. He could picture how terribly Shu Qingdie had died at that time, with blood spewing all over. It reignited the blaze in him and he felt a murderous intent looming once again.

Under the Omniscient Mirrors observation, everything on the ground was visible.

Li Hanyan stood aside and looked at Chu Li, puzzled.

Chu Li glanced around, then shook his head in disappointment. He could not find any trace of the murderer as if he had never appeared here. He executed it so neatly without leaving anything behind.

Li Hanyan whispered, Brother Chu, can you find the killer?

Chu Li shook his head. I think he was hiding here before he ambushed Miss Shu and ended her with a knife That should be his hiding spot

Chu Li scanned the entire place, then his gaze finally stopped on a hollow tree. He levitated to the hollow tree and went inside. With a gaze as swift as lightning, he swept through every inch with his eyes and finally found a hair. At that moment, a smirk etched out on his face.

With this hair, Chu Li would be able to find who it belonged to and if that person had killed Shu Qingdie.

Lets go! Chu Li beckoned.

Li Hanyan came over, seemingly curious.

Chu Li grabbed Li Hanyans wrist and they disappeared in a flash. The next moment, they reappeared in a forest. A middle-aged man was sat cross-legged across them, eating his dry food. When the middle-aged man saw the two of them, he immediately grabbed his long knife.

Who are you? Chu Li called him out sternly.

Chu Li narrowed his gaze and his eyes flickered. He did not expect to pick up a trace of Heavenly Demonic Energy. This middle-aged man turned out to be a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect.

Was it you who murdered Shu Qingdie? Chu Li continued to ask.

Who is Shu Qingdie? The middle-aged man frowned, alerted.

Chu Li asked coldly, Why did you kill Shu Qingdie?

What nonsense! the middle-aged man replied under his breath.
