Li Tong looked at Gong Qing's determined eyes and was a little surprised. He re-examined this seemingly ordinary man, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

"You... are really not afraid of death?" Li Tong's voice trembled a little.

Gong Qing smiled slightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Are you afraid of death? Of course I am. But I am more afraid of losing my dignity and principles. Li Tong, you may be able to take my life, but you can never take my soul!"

Li Tong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Gong Qing, you are such a strange guy. I thought you were someone who would sell out everything for profit, but I didn't expect you... Never mind, maybe this is the difference between you and Wu Gensheng."

"Li Tong, how are you?" Gong Qing smiled, but there was an unfathomable coldness in his eyes.

Li Tong snorted coldly, "Gong Qing, what are you doing here? Could it be that Quan Xing wants to cause trouble in Longhu Mountain again?"

Gong Qing shook his head. "I didn't come here to provoke you. I have something to ask the old Heavenly Master."

Li Tong sneered, "Do you think I will let you see the old Taoist priest easily? You have to get past me first!" After saying that, he moved and was about to attack Gong Qing.

Gong Qing was not in a hurry and let Li Tong seal his meridians. Li Tong was stunned. When did Gong Qing become so easy to talk to?
While escorting Gong Qing, Li Tong couldn't help but ask, "How old are you? You look like a teenager, how can you be the acting leader of Quan Xing?"

Gong Qing smiled slightly, "Age is just a figment, why bother too much about it. What's important is what I can do for Quan Xing."

Li Tong became even more confused. Who on earth was this Gong Qing?

When they arrived at the old Taoist priest's residence, Li Tong was about to hand Gong Qing over to the old Taoist priest, but Gong Qing suddenly knelt down and apologized to the old Taoist priest.

"Old Heavenly Master, my disciple Gong Qing has committed a crime and I have come to apologize." His voice was low and firm.

Li Tong looked at this scene in astonishment, not understanding why Gong Qing wanted to apologize to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gong Qing kneeling in front of him. A complicated light flashed in his eyes. He turned to Li Tong and said, "Li Tong, you did a great job. It is a blessing for Longhu Mountain to be able to capture Gong Qing tonight."

Li Tong bowed his head respectfully, "Thank you for the compliment, old master."

The old Taoist priest looked at Gong Qing again and said, "Since you have come to plead guilty, I will take you away and keep you under guard for one night. I will deal with you tomorrow."

Gong Qing nodded his head and was taken away by Li Tong.

Taoist Master Rongshan quickly came to take Gong Qing away after receiving instructions from the old Taoist priest. He watched Gong Qing being taken away, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. What crime did Gong Qing commit that made the old Taoist priest take him so seriously?
In the morning, Li Tong just got up and his cell phone rang. He saw that it was Wang Ye's number. He was a little surprised. Since they parted last time, they had rarely contacted each other.

"Hello, Brother Tong, it's me." Wang Ye's voice sounded a little tired on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, what a rare guest! Why did you suddenly think of calling me?" Li Tong joked.

Wang Ye sighed and said, "Brother Tong, I've been in some trouble recently. Chen Jinkui has come to me again."

Upon hearing this, Li Tong frowned and said, "He came to you again? Did he not do anything to you this time?"

"No, I escaped by luck. But after this fight, something went wrong with my body." Wang Ye's voice was filled with helplessness.

"What's the problem? Is it serious?" Li Tong asked with concern.

"It's hard to explain. I'll suddenly be diagnosed with a certain disease, and then get better inexplicably." Wang Ye described his symptoms.

After hearing this, Li Tong was silent for a while and said, "You are really lucky this time. Didn't Chen Jinkui take your Fenghou Qimen away?"

"No, he seems to be very interested in Fenghou Qimen, but he doesn't want to use force." Wang Ye explained.

"This Chen Jinkui is getting more and more outrageous. He wants to obtain Fenghou Qimen, but he pretends to be a gentleman." Li Tong shook his head, puzzled by Chen Jinkui's behavior.

"Brother Tong, I'm really tired now and my body can't take it anymore. Can you help me think of a solution?" Wang Ye's voice was filled with fatigue and helplessness.

Li Tong thought for a moment and said, "I have a doctor friend who is very skilled in medicine. Why don't you come to Longhu Mountain and let him help you?"

When Wang Ye heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Really? Brother Tong, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, we are brothers. Come quickly, I'll wait for you here." After Li Tong said that, he hung up the phone.

A few days later, Wang Ye came to Longhu Mountain. He looked more haggard than last time, but his eyes were unusually firm. Li Tong took him to see the doctor friend, and after some examinations and treatment, Wang Ye's physical condition gradually improved.

One day, Wang Ye and Li Tong met by chance at the foot of the mountain. During their casual conversation, Wang Ye mentioned Chen Jinkui. He frowned, obviously worried about Chen Jinkui's obsession. "That guy, for Fenghou Qimen, I'm afraid he can do anything." Wang Ye sighed.

Li Tong smiled disapprovingly, "Are you worried that he will do something bad to you?"

Wang also shook his head. "I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried that he will go astray."

Li Tong patted Wang Ye's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. If he dares to mess around, I'll be the first one to not let him off."

A few days later, Wang Ye decided to visit the old Taoist priest at Mount Longhu. He traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the foot of Mount Longhu. When the old Taoist priest saw Wang Ye, he smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Ye, you are here."

Wang also bowed respectfully, "Disciple greets Master."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Wang Ye told them the purpose of his visit. It turned out that he wanted to ask the old Taoist priest to help persuade Chen Jinkui to give up his pursuit of Fenghou Qimen.

After hearing what Wang Ye said, the old Taoist priest was silent for a moment. "Chen Jinkui's obsession is not something that can be achieved overnight. Although I am his master, it is difficult for me to change his mind."

Wang Ye sighed, "What should I do?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Perhaps, this is his fate. We just need to let it go and don't force it."

Just as Wang Ye was about to leave, the old Taoist priest suddenly called him, "Xiao Ye, I have something to ask of you."

Wang Ye was stunned, "Master, please speak."

The old Taoist priest looked at Li Tong and said, "I need to go down the mountain recently. I will leave Longhu Mountain to you."

Li Tong was surprised, "Master, you want to go down the mountain? But what happened?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head. "Nothing, I just have some personal matters to deal with. Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."

Although Li Tong was confused, he still nodded and agreed, "Disciple obeys your command."

After the old Taoist priest left, Li Tong and Wang Ye sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance. Li Tong couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you suddenly come down the mountain? What do you think is the reason?"

Wang Ye pondered for a moment, "Could it be Gong Qing?" Li Tong was shocked, "Are you saying that Gong Qing is doing something behind the scenes?"

Wang also nodded, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Master may have come down the mountain to investigate this matter."

The two looked at each other, both showing worry. The tranquility of Longhu Mountain seemed to be about to be broken...

Deep in the Longhu Mountain, the old Taoist priest stood quietly in front of Li Tong, his eyes full of approval.

"Li Tong, it's beyond my expectation that you can fight against Lu Ci and Wang Ai alone." The old Taoist's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Li Tong smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Master, you are too kind. I am just doing my best."

The old Taoist nodded, with a hint of urgency in his eyes: "I need to go down the mountain, I'll leave the mountain to you."

Li Tong responded solemnly: "Yes, Master, don't worry."

Wang Ye, who was standing by, watched the old Taoist priest hurried away and couldn't help but feel curious: "Master, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

Li Tong shook his head without saying much, but a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Wang Ye saw this and didn't ask any more questions. He just patted Li Tong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tong, if you need any help, just ask."

Li Tong nodded gratefully and watched Wang Ye leave.

At this time, in another place of Longhu Mountain, Gong Qing was sitting leisurely in the cell eating, while Rong Shan, who was standing beside him, was as straight as a pine tree and meticulous.

"Brother Rongshan, would you like to have something to eat too?" Gong Qing called out while eating.

Rong Shan shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I am here to guard you, not to eat."

Gong Qing smiled, didn't care, and continued to enjoy his meal.

At this time, Li Tong walked in and saw Gong Qing eating, and couldn't help but frowned.

"Rongshan, what's going on? How do you feed the prisoners?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Li Tong's voice.

Rong Shan quickly explained, "It was Senior Brother Li. The person in charge of delivering the meal didn't prepare any for Gong Qing, but he insisted on eating, so I had to give him my meal."

Hearing this, Li Tong frowned even more tightly: "This won't work. You are a guard, you can't let him lead you by the nose."

Gong Qing put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Li Tong with a smile: "Brother Li Tong, why are you so serious? I can't run away anyway."

Li Tong ignored Gong Qing's words and said to Rong Shan, "You go eat first. I'll watch over here."

Rongshan nodded gratefully and turned to leave.

Gong Qing looked at Li Tong's back, with a strange look in his eyes: "Brother Li Tong, you are more interesting than I thought."

Li Tong did not look back, but said coldly: "Gong Qing, don't think I don't know what you did. The old Taoist priest has already gone down the mountain. Do you think you can still escape?"

Gong Qing laughed: "Escape? Why would I run away? I'm just waiting for someone."

Rong Shan raised his head, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he was immediately moved by Li Tong's sincerity. He scratched his head and said a little dully: "This... this is not good, what if Gong Qing runs away?"

Li Tong smiled slightly, stretched out his palm, and a faint Qi flowed in his palm. He said: "Brother Rongshan, don't worry, I am here, Gong Qing can't run away. You see, my Qi is stronger than yours."

Rong Shan looked at the Qi in Li Tong's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. You watch it for me, I'll go eat something and be back." After that, he turned and left, his steps much lighter.

Li Tong looked at Rong Shan's back, shook his head gently, and sighed in his heart: "Rong Shan, Rong Shan, although you are capable, your personality is too dull and your reaction is too slow. It is your blessing that Gong Qing can get you out of the way."

In the cell, Gong Qing sat in a corner with a smug smile on his face. He looked at Li Tong as he walked in and said, "Brother Li Tong, you're here."

Li Tong walked up to Gong Qing and said coldly, "Gong Qing, you are smart and know how to take advantage of other people's weaknesses. You told the old Taoist priest Wu Gensheng that he was still alive just to get him out of the way, right?"

Gong Qing smiled and said, "Brother Li Tong, you are really smart. That's right, I told the old Taoist Wu Gensheng that he was still alive just to make him leave. Only in this way can I have a chance to escape."

Li Tong frowned and said, "Why are you doing this? What does Wu Gensheng have to do with you? Why are you helping him?"

Gong Qing shook his head and said, "Brother Li Tong, you are wrong. I am not helping Wu Gensheng, but myself. Wu Gensheng holds a secret, a secret that can change the entire world of aliens. As long as I can find him, I can master this secret and become the overlord of the world of aliens."

Li Tong felt a chill in his heart when he heard Gong Qing's words. He said, "Gong Qing, you are too crazy. For a secret, you are willing to betray your master and the entire world of aliens. Is it worth it for you to do this?"

Gong Qing laughed and said, "Whether it's worth it or not, only I know. Brother Li Tong, you don't have to persuade me. I'm full, now it's your turn. Go eat something, I'll wait for you here."

"Gong Qing, how did you know that Wu Gensheng was not dead?" Li Tong frowned, trying to get an answer from Gong Qing.

Gong Qing replied casually: "I guessed."

"Guessed?" Li Tong was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He asked, "Then how did you know where he was hiding?"

Gong Qing shrugged, a teasing smile on his face: "It's just made up."

Li Tong was irritated by Gong Qing's attitude. He was about to lose his temper when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Someone shouted, "The Quan Xing people are here again!"

Gong Qing didn't seem surprised. He said calmly, "It seems that my information has worked."

Li Tong looked at Gong Qing in surprise and asked, "Did you deliberately spread false information to lure Quan Xing's men to attack the mountain?"

Gong Qing nodded, a sly look flashed in his eyes: "Only in this way can we cause greater chaos, and I will have a chance to find the truth."

Li Tong shook his head, worried about Gong Qing's crazy behavior: "If you do this, you will only get yourself into deeper trouble."

Gong Qing didn't care. He laughed out loud: "Dilemma? I'm used to it. If I don't take a risk, how can I get closer to the truth?"

Li Tong sighed. He knew Gong Qing's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. He asked tentatively, "What is your purpose? Is it to control Tian Jinzhong and extract his memory?"

Gong Qing was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, with a determined light in his eyes: "No, my goal is far more than this. I want to uncover all the mysteries and find the truth hidden behind them." (End of this chapter)
