Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

Wu Tianzhen was now completely dirty, with dried mud on his clothes and hair. The red bloodshot eyes and dark green under his eyes made him look miserable.

Jie Yuqing stood up and patted his shoulder, "I wouldn't have come if I was afraid of being implicated."

He raised his chin at Jie Shiyi and said, "Let her go and find some clean clothes."

Jie Shiyi was not like those people. When he heard the order, he immediately put down his arms, turned around and dug up his backpack.

After getting free, A Ning didn't even look at Jie Shiyi, who was squatting next to him and looking for something. He was as strong as a bear and was not afraid of her sneak attack.

Wiping away the blood seeping from his neck, he looked at Wu Tianzhen with a complicated expression, but he looked away after just one glance.

Then he stood silently behind Jude Kao.

Wu Tianzhen looked blankly at Jie Yuqiao, who had been very calm from beginning to end, and found that something seemed not right.

He said in a dazed manner: "Xiaohua...did you already know that I was tied up?"

Recalling that Xiaohua was surrounded, the moment he was taken out, his expression remained the same as before, without any change, as if he had already guessed that the loose defense was a trap.

"Half and half," Xie Yuqu glanced around the camp consisting of dozens of tents. "With such a large formation, I don't even think it would be possible to find Mr. Qiu's trace."

"If I encounter a fat rabbit coming to my door in the jungle, I can't help but want to take action."

Jie Yuqiao said, ignoring Judekao's dark face and giving him a friendly smile.

To put it simply, he predicted Jude Kao's prediction.

Wu Tianzhen's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this, and he rushed towards Jie Yuqiao and gave him a big hug, his voice choked with emotion.

"As expected of my good brother, he came to save me when he knew there was danger!"

Wu Tianzhen was deeply moved.

And smelling Wu Tianzhen's scent at close range, Xie Yuqiao's eyebrows almost knitted together.

He pushed Wu Tianzhen away suddenly, then quickly took off his coat and threw it aside.

Body movements and expressions are full of resistance and disgust.

But Wu Tianzhen was not angry at all, and happily asked Xie Shi to put on clean clothes for Xie Yuqing, while she picked up the ones he threw away and put them on.

The group of people talked and laughed, and even changed their clothes. They looked calm and composed as if they regarded the camp as their own.

The faces of Jude Kao's men became uglier than the others, and their eyes were so fierce that they wanted to cut Xie Yuqiao and others into pieces with a thousand knives.

But their boss is enduring it. As subordinates, no matter how angry they are, they can only hold it in and stand there honestly.

After changing his clothes, Wu Tianzhen pulled Jie Yuqiao aside and took out an amulet folded into a triangle from his arms in a concealed manner.

He whispered: "This is what the fourth child gave me. I hung a satchel on the tree closest to the tent. There are many more in it."

"I'll be fine with these things." As he said this, Wu Tianzhen felt that his throat was severely clogged, and he blinked to push back the sourness in his eyes.

"Jude Kao told me that the Zhang Family Ancient Building is in this lake. His people dived there with equipment. There were more than a dozen people before and after, but only one came back alive."

"The ancient building of the Zhang family?"

Xie Yuqing frowned slightly and his tone became serious.

It is said that the ancient building of the Zhang family is actually the mass burial tomb of the Zhang family. As far as he knows, the preservation of the ancestral motto of the Zhang family has always been the biggest goal.

Therefore, mass burial tombs were chosen as an important way to convey information. All the secrets they brought out during the fight were kept in the Zhang family ancient building.

However, because the Zhang family has been searching for the secret of immortality everywhere, the Zhang family ancient building is often dismantled and moved with them, so no one except the Zhang family knows its specific location.

Although the younger brother is the head of the Zhang family, he has lost his memory and forgotten its existence.

Jie Yutao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rumored ancient Zhang family building was actually at the bottom of a barrier lake deep in the mountains.

In fact, if it were before, he would not believe that a person like Jude Kao would take the initiative to reveal such an important secret.

After all, everything he wants in life may be in this ancient building. Once outsiders know about it, all his efforts will be destroyed.

But it's different now. Jude Kao's body is obviously running out of oil, and he won't be able to hold on anymore if he doesn't get the method of immortality quickly.

Time did not allow him to wander around.

It’s just that the Zhang Family Ancient Building is very dangerous and full of traps.

Without the permission of the head of the Zhang family, there is basically no return.

The fact that Jude Kao's people were buried at the bottom of the lake one after another confirmed this, so he had to shift his target to Wu Tianzhen, trying to force him to cooperate.

Wu Tianzhen nodded, "Yes, I did want to cooperate with him, but now I don't have to."

Seeing that the arrogant people who had dragged him out of the tent looked disheveled at this time, Wu Tianzhen suddenly felt less depressed.

He didn't tell Jie Yuqiao, but he also understood that the cooperation was just a matter of Jude Kao trying to use him to threaten Wu Tianzhen into giving up his life.

He knew that Jiang Xing gave him the talismans, and most likely this guy planned to fight for it if he couldn't bring back anything.

"I've brought you all the equipment you want."

Xie Yuqing changed the subject, "Do you need me to accompany you down?"

Wu Tianzhen shook his head and refused, "No, it makes me feel at ease if you watch them from above."

At this time, he paused, then looked at Xie Yuqing apologetically and said, "But I still want to cooperate with Jude Kao. He knows more about the situation under the lake than I do."

"Xiaohua, I must find the little brother and the fat man."

Xie Yuqing couldn't stand his expression, "Okay, I'm fine again."

"Thanks to that guy from Jiangxing, Qiu can't help but say no."

At this time, Jude Kao had mixed feelings in his heart, and regret was not included.

It's just that I didn't expect that Xie Laojiu's city was already deep enough, and his grandson was no less generous.

I had already made preparations before arriving, and even contacted the person to have a backup plan.

In this way, even if he forces the two of them to stay regardless of the consequences, the price he will pay in the end will only be greater, so it is better to stop the loss in time.

But at the same time, this also meant that he had completely reached a dead end.

Thinking of this, Jude held the crutch tightly, and his fingertips turned white and trembled slightly.

Not reconciled!

Jude Kao was unwilling to give in. He spent his whole life to get such a result.

If it was ten years ago, he would still be able to think long term, but now he is running out of time.

The strong resentment in his heart kept roaring, and suddenly Judekao felt a stinging pain in his chest, and then the thick smell of blood spread in his mouth.

"Cough cough..."

Covered by a handkerchief, he coughed up blood.

Then he pretended to be nonchalant and put the handkerchief away.

Others didn't notice it, but A Ning still saw that flash of red, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Just when she was about to say something, she saw Wu Tianzhen walking towards her, and she swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

"I can cooperate with you, but I can't guarantee whether I can get the things."

Wu Tianzhen said expressionlessly before Jude's exam.
