Li Yi was stunned, and he instantly realized what was wrong with what he had thought about before.

This is a typical Jiangnan garden, with pavilions, corridors and sills, all around, fresh and free. However, the strange thing is - the sun is shining brightly outside the door, but once inside, there is a hazy mist shrouding the surroundings.

"Haha——" There was also a man's faint contemptuous voice, which came from all directions.

"No, this is a formation!" Lao Tu instantly pulled out the long knife from behind, looked around vigilantly, and reminded loudly.

Li Yi naturally knew that this was a formation, but he knew nothing about the Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Bagua. At this moment, it was extremely difficult for him to figure out the formation in front of him.

However, we can't let Zhou Dafu take advantage of the opportunity to escape now. Once this guy escapes, it will be difficult to catch him with his cleverness.

At that time, if I want to check out the people on the list given to me by Song Wei, do I have to directly arrest Lin Song and others for questioning? But if I arrest Lin Song, many officials will definitely know about it in a very short period of time.

At that time, I could only... fish in troubled waters.

At present, if you don't want to break in, you have to break in - Zhou Dafu is a wealthy businessman. Even if he disappears for a day or two, others will only think that he is indulging in the gentle countryside. Moreover, this guy sells private salt and is a famous rich man in Jiangnan. He must understand

The living habits of many officials.

Li Yi gritted his teeth, pulled out the Yunzhong Sword, and stepped forward.

"Whoosh -" As soon as he took a step, he heard a strong gust of wind coming from his side.

Li Yi lowered his body and turned around with a sword. He has now reached the level of a master, and his eyesight, hearing, and reaction are far beyond those of ordinary people.

At this moment, he slashed with his sword, but he felt that it didn't hit anything at all. From the corner of his eye, he could only see a black shadow flashing past, and his sword did not touch the opponent at all.

"What the hell is this!" Li Yi frowned and walked slowly along the corridor with ponds on both sides. He was confident that his sword swing speed would be impossible to avoid unless the opponent was a martial arts master!

"Whoosh——" Another strong wind sounded not far behind him, followed immediately by Lao Tu's cry of pain.

Li Yi hurriedly turned around, but was surprised to find that he was already far away from Lao Tu, Song Beikui and others at some point!

He was stunned. It turned out that because of the fog of the formation, he was walking faster and faster without knowing it.

The entire manor is a formation. Because Zhou Dafu has done many evil things, he is afraid that someone will seek revenge, so he invites experts to create a formation, which will shroud the manor in fog all year round...

"Huh——" The whirring sound of the long sword cut through the wind came. The sound was very rhythmic, rising and falling. It was obviously a common sword technique in the army. It was obviously Lao Tu. He was still cursing while swinging the sword.

But when I heard the sound, it sounded like the sword was in vain, and it couldn't cut anything at all.

Lao Tu is just an ordinary soldier. Even though he is naturally brave, he has just stepped into the threshold of the martial arts master level, so he must be very dangerous in this formation.

Li Yi gritted his teeth, turned around and said in a long voice: "Song Beikui, you go back to help Brother Tu, and I will chase Zhou Dafu!"

When Li Yi heard Song Beikui's distant response, he no longer hesitated, quickened his pace, and instantly crossed the path with ponds on both sides.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he heard a faint sound breaking through the air.

Li Yi had just stepped onto the ground and breathed a sigh of relief when he was suddenly attacked. He had to roll forward while swinging his sword to protect his side.

"Pa--" A crisp sound came from Li Yi's ear, and he slowly turned his face to look.

A completely black flying knife stabbed deeply into the stone paved ground.

The flying knife was trembling slightly. The blade and handle were pitch black without any luster.

"Wu Xiaoming?" Li Yi instantly remembered an extremely powerful figure who used flying knives.

However, Wu Xiaoming's flying knife was bright silver, and this pure black flying knife in front of him...

Li Yi stood up vigilantly and moved forward slowly. He could vaguely see the eaves and pavilions in front of him, and he was obviously about to enter the center of the No. 1 Scholar.

"Sir, I'm here." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Li Yi suddenly turned around and saw Wu Xiaoming standing behind him quietly with his hands hanging down.

The other party was still wearing a shabby scholar's robe, and he was holding a book with torn headers in his hand. The whole person looked ordinary and simple, without any murderous intent or any uniqueness.

place.

Li Yi was surprised. When he was still weak before, he thought Wu Xiaoming's strength was nothing more than this. But now, he has reached the master level, but he still can't see through the opponent.

"Do you know the person who attacked me?" Li Yi said the topic directly without asking any irrelevant questions.

"It's my senior brother." Wu Xiaoming nodded. He seemed to be afraid that Li Yi would misunderstand, so he added three more words: "He has betrayed the family."

"Can it be done?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." Wu Xiaoming nodded.

Li Yi tightened his sword and continued to move forward. He had just taken three steps when he heard a slight sound of breaking through the air beside him, but he had no intention of dodging.

Since Wu Xiaoming nodded and nodded easily, Li Yi had absolute trust. This trust was based on Linshui City's joint efforts to kill the wolf demon and Wu Xiaoming's somewhat mysterious style of doing things.

It would be better to leave this mysterious assassin to Wu Xiaoming to deal with.

"Papa -"

Wu Xiaoming did not betray Li Yi's trust. Two bright silver flying knives instantly intercepted two other black flying knives in mid-air.

Li Yi continued to move forward. He no longer needed to worry about what was happening behind him. He must catch Zhou Dafu immediately.

In front of him was an elegant small building, and the wooden door in front of the building had been pushed open.

Li Yi stepped in.

The light in the building was dim, and the candles on the candlesticks in the corners were flickering.

Through the dim candlelight, Li Yi saw two people sitting in the middle of the room. One of them was covered in fat, and the whole person was like a mountain of meat.

The other person had his upper body exposed and his muscles all over his body were tangled. His back was facing Li Yi, and the scars on his back looked very ferocious.

Zhou Dafu was shivering. He glanced at Li Yi who was walking in, and said with a smile: "Li, Mr. Li, if you have anything to do, just talk to me. This is my guard. His name is Niu Tu."
