My brother is so cunning.

The couple waited for a long time, but there was no new round of attacks. Gu Changfeng's sword heart was clear and sensitive, and he also lost the signal of the source of murderous aura. He could conclude that the assassin retreated very tactfully when he saw that things were not going well.

Thinking of something, Gu Changfeng hurriedly took his wife's hand and flew on the sword, rushing back. Soon he came to the forest where he was sniped and looked for the impact point of the shuttle in the forest.

The opponent was obviously well prepared and well versed in assassination. If he missed the attack, he would flee thousands of miles away. There was no chance to find the original owner, but the opponent also left a flaw that might expose his identity.

The flaw is the shuttle. The high-speed shuttle that can pose a huge threat to the Return to Void period cultivators must not be an ordinary thing. It must have been carefully crafted and may even reach the level of a magic weapon. As long as the shuttle is found and the crafting techniques and material sources are traced, the identity of the assassin may be found.

Such an assassin is too scary. There is a reason that a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Gu Changfeng will not have peace until he finds him.

When he came to one of the deep holes where the bullet hit, Gu Changfeng asked his wife, who was a magic cultivator, to use earth escape spells to break the ground and dug down for nearly a hundred feet until he dug to the end of the deep hole where the shuttle had drilled out, but he did not find even a single piece of the shuttle fragment.

Gu Changfeng, who was unwilling to give up, dug a few more bullet points, but still found nothing. It was as if the hard shuttle that could break gold and stone was made of ice, and it would melt and disappear soon after it was shot out.

Gu Changfeng had used his flying sword to swing away the shuttle, and several of his flying swords were broken. He knew that it was definitely not ice. Even if it was the eternal black ice, it would not be so hard, not to mention that the eternal black ice was not so easy to melt.

It can be seen that the assassin had anticipated this only flaw and used a shuttle made of an incredible strange material. It was as hard as steel when it was fired, and it disappeared without a trace soon after it was fired.

Even though the cultivator was not afraid of cold or heat, Gu Changfeng, who still didn't know who he had offended, shuddered after all the tossing and turning.

"Who is this guy who doesn't know how to live or die? For what kind of deep hatred, dare to be an enemy of the disciples of the True Lord of Morality?"

Gu Changfeng said to his wife, who looked puzzled, in a panic: "No, I have to go back to Qingfeng Mountain immediately to find Master Ziyang and ask him to help me find the killer's whereabouts. You go with me, I'm afraid that guy will come back when you are not around!"

...

Not to mention how Gu Changfeng fled back to Qingfeng Mountain Ziyang Cave to complain to his parents overnight, Wen Rui had quietly returned to the underground base of Jinling Sect.

At this moment, he was in front of the display stand of the armored laboratory, carefully checking all the armored data records of this failed operation, and his face became more and more gloomy as he looked at it.

Jarvis, in the form of a wheeled robot, stood by, his electronic eyes flashing constantly. Even with a machine face, he seemed to reveal some panicked anthropomorphic emotions.

"This failure is really a good lesson!"

Wen Rui said hatefully: "Whether it is for you, a pig teammate, or for myself!"

"Sir, I was wrong. In the case of incomplete target information collection, more reasonable suggestions should be made."

"I am not too annoyed by the intelligence error. After all, Gu Changfeng deliberately concealed it and played the game of playing the pig to eat the tiger. The opponent is not stupid, and you can't be blamed for not being smart enough."

Wen Rui said in a relaxed tone: "I am angry with myself. With a hammer in my hand, everyone looks like a nail. I am floating."

He said Qi sighed and said, "I saw the grand scene of the battle of ten thousand immortals back then, and I thought that I, the 'Wang Yuyan of the Cultivation Realm', was invincible below the immortals, and I was too arrogant. From this failure, it can be confirmed that my comprehensive combat power is not enough to defeat the cultivators of the Return to Void Stage without injury, and it is even more wishful thinking to compete with the immortals. I underestimated the cultivators in the world!"

Wen Rui retreated decisively, not because he couldn't beat Gu Changfeng and his wife even if he played all his cards, but he couldn't do it without injury like He Lingyun controlled Jian Erling to defeat Master Fashan.

If you can't kill monsters without injury, there is a risk of death. The probability of rabbit killing is very low, but it is definitely not zero. As long as there is a slight risk of death, it is the most reasonable choice to strategically turn when your identity has not been exposed and you don't need to fight to the end.

Wen Rui will not play any dramas such as living against death, exploding a small universe before the battle, or a big reversal of mechanical deification. This is like the protagonists of some cultivation novels who dare to show off what strange natural treasures they picked up. Unless there is a real author to escort them, why do others fall on the ground after eating, but you get a blessing in disguise and a great breakthrough in realm?

People are chased by dogs, not because people can't beat dogs, but because people can't guarantee that they can kill dogs without injuries.

This is the most sensible and normal choice made by normal people in normal life. However, many passionate protagonists do not understand this truth. They know that the risks are great but are full of confidence, and they call it "the brave will go forward and live after death".

Wen Rui often formulates battle plans based on no injuries. Once he cannot be unscathed, he will make a strategic shift immediately.

Wen Rui knows very well what will happen if he dies - permanent residence in the hell of hell.

The system even thoughtfully lets him experience two hours of life worse than death every week to remind him not to die easily.

Not wanting to live does not mean being keen on committing suicide. The former is a life attitude, while the latter is an intellectual disability, and they cannot be confused.

Because of this, despite his unwillingness, Wen Rui decisively retreated when the situation was slightly out of control, leaving Gu Changfeng no chance to fight back.

"If you fail, you have to admit defeat." Wen Rui said in a calm tone: "Let's put aside Gu Changfeng's account for the time being. The Void Return Stage does have its unique features. There are too few means to defeat the magical power of 'turning emptiness into reality'. Cannons are not enough. Before a thorough analysis, you should try to avoid a head-on confrontation with the monks in the Void Return Stage."

Jarvis said: "Understood, sir, this will be added to the memo."

"Summoning ten thousand swords and condensing the void into reality is still a flashy special effect, and the effective utilization rate of spiritual power is less than 1%, but if it can't be used in large quantities, how can it be solved perfectly?"

Wen Rui grabbed the stubble on his chin and said thoughtfully:

"There is still a lack of research samples and a large amount of data on the physical changes of cultivators as they advance to the realm. I have seen monks who have reached the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian realm during their Qi training period. The database also stores the records of Jin Ling Sect's self-cultivation and cultivation to the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian realm. All the classics and secrets of the Luo Jinxian realm.”

"But eating pork and seeing pigs running are two different things after all. They are superficial on paper, but my spiritual roots are useless, so I can't experience it personally."

"I have dissected more than a hundred samples from the golden elixir stage and have thoroughly studied them. I have also obtained samples from the Nascent Soul stage. Although the number is not large, I have collected enough data. However, I have not yet obtained the samples from the return to void stage. There is no way to connect theory with practice after seeing a corpse, and it is impossible to experimentally verify my theoretical research on the realm of returning to the virtual world.”

Jarvis said: "Sir, how about deceiving the demon kings you have sworn sworn with around the Lishan Mountains, drugging them, and then tying them to the experimental table and cutting them into slices?"

"It is not advisable to kill the goose to obtain the eggs." Wen Rui shook his head and said: "After all, they are all my beloved relatives and friends. It took hundreds of years to gain their trust. I will still have other uses for them in the future. Just slicing them up is too wasteful and the price-performance ratio is too low. "

Jarvis said: "This is difficult. The Chamber of Commerce has put up a reward before. Even the complete remains of a Void-Returning Demon King are priceless and unmarketable. We will definitely not be able to get a sample in the short term, and maybe at least we will have to wait. Wait a hundred and eighty years.”

When everyone said this, they all fell silent. They were really stumped by the problem in front of them and couldn't come up with any good solutions.

In fact, Wen Rui still had something he couldn't say to Jarvis, and that was that the mouthful of spoiled dog food he had before leaving really hit his soul. He could not help but think, "It's unreasonable, that kind of hanging man actually has a wife!" Resentment.

There is some truth to the saying that "the legal couple makes money". Youdao is a gang of three men. Now he only has an artificial mentally retarded pig teammate as a helper. Isn't he unable to beat the husband and wife who work together to make money?

So annoying, so angry, so hateful!

Sooner or later, you two bitches will be burned to death!

"Didi..."

A rapid electronic prompt sounded. Jarvis paused and said, "Sir, a visitor at the gate indicated that manual service is needed. The visitor also came a few days ago. At that time, we were setting up a preset battlefield against Gu Changfeng. My clone AI refused the request for human service, but I didn’t expect her to be so insistent and come to my door again.”

"Is it the junior sister named He from last time?" Wen Rui waved his hand and said, "I'm so busy that I don't have time to greet her, so just say no!"

"Yes, sir." Jarvis replied. He paused for a moment and then said, "Sir, the visitor is not Junior Sister Caiyun Fenghe Lingyun of Lishan Immortal Sect, but Junior Sister Caiyun Fengluan Qingyu. Do you still follow the refusal order? "

Wen Rui was stunned and frowned: "Luan Qingyu? Judging from the surname, could it be Qingluan's transformation? This name is very unfamiliar. It seems that I have never exchanged feathers for spiritual stones through the preferential policy of 'Lishan Specialty Counter', Qingluan Feathers" The price tag is obviously very high.”

Jarvis explained: "Luan Qingyu is a talented disciple of Caiyun Peak. She was the former leader of the competition. She has been receiving the highest-level sect's monthly exams, which is enough to maintain her training expenses. However, she lost to He Lingyun in the most recent competition. She received the monthly exams. It has been reduced by half. Recently, her realm has broken through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, and the consumption of nourishing spiritual roots has increased exponentially. Under this situation, perhaps there is a gap in the supply of spiritual stones that leads to frequent visits. "

"Huh?" Wen Rui seemed to have gotten some hint and said, "What do you think happened to her recently?"

"The big competition was lost to He Lingyun."

"That last sentence."

"Since the breakthrough from the golden elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage, the consumption of nourishing spiritual roots has doubled..."

"Jarvis, arrange a meeting immediately."

…

Luan Qingyu stood in front of the Jinling Sect's gate angrily. This was her third visit this month, but she was always rejected. What a neglect for her!

Just now, the weird and wise butler who made a loud noise once again said to her in an emotionless tone: "I heard that the sect master is in retreat and has no time to take time off to receive guests. Please come back someday."

"Hmph! Senior Sister He said that she has been here twice and she can see Wen Rui every time. Why should I not see him when I come?" Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Luan Qingyu frowned and scolded: "Wait until I take your cave home. The door is broken, let’s see if you still want to see me!”

Several times of neglect finally exhausted Luan Qingyu's patience. Without saying a word, she used her natal magical power, condensed the Qingling Sword out of thin air, pointed at the metal door of the cave, and the Qingling Sword turned into a ball of flaming meteors, suddenly igniting. Shoot away.

The fireball hit the invisible magic circle barrier before it even touched the metal door. The firelight dissipated instantly, and the Qingling sword was bounced away by the huge force. Luan Qingyu finally managed to control the out-of-control flying sword to return it.

It's okay if it doesn't smash the door. Not to mention that the attack has no effect. The sound of piercing alarm bells is heard all around, and several thousand-pound gates fall, completely sealing the entrance to the metal door.

Countless square holes opened around the cave entrance, from which bundles of metal tubes protruded. Red beams of light shot out from the small holes above the metal tubes, and dense light spots fell on Luan Qingyu.

Although she had no idea what these metal tubes and light spots were used for, Luan Qingyu felt something was wrong and quickly pulled back. However, her back hit another invisible barrier. It was obvious that the mountain protection array was fully activated, and all the exits on all sides were blocked by invisible barriers, trapping her in the array.
