Gao Lian sighed and said, "Li Tong, calm down. I admit that I did hide something before, but it was for Er Zhuang's good. Now that Master Lu is gone, I can't do anything. But I can give you a compromise. I will give you some money for treatment. After Master Lu comes back and cures Er Zhuang, I will tell you the news about the old man who looks after the grave."

Li Tong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He said, "Boss Gao, do you think I'm a beggar? You can get rid of me with just a little money? I tell you, I have already received a large amount of compensation from the Lu family. I don't even care about your little money."

Gao Lian was stunned. He didn't expect Li Tong to say that. He frowned and said, "What do you want? Do you really want me to restore Er Zhuang to his original state? That's impossible!"

Li Tong snorted and said, "Impossible? Then give it a try! Either you abide by the previous agreement and tell me the news about the old man who looks after the graves; or we cancel it and I restore Er Zhuang to his previous state. It's your choice!"

Gao Lian was furious when he heard this. He slammed the table and said angrily, "Li Tong, don't go too far! Do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the desk had collapsed. It turned out that Li Tong had secretly exerted force to collapse the desk. Gao Lian looked at the collapsed desk and felt a little scared. He realized that Li Tong was not joking, but really had the ability to do what he said.

Gao Lian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He sighed deeply and said, "Okay, you win. I'll tell you the news about the old man who looks at the graves, but this is the last transaction between us."

Li Tong nodded and said, "Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? You wasted so much of my time."

"Brother Gao, I heard that Gu Jiting once stayed in your Gao family?" Li Tong went straight to the point, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Gao Lian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Brother Li is really well-informed. That's right, Gu Jiting did hide in my Gao family."

"Oh? Where is he now?" Li Tong asked, with a longing gleam in his eyes.

Gao Lian hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that...even our Gao family doesn't know the whereabouts of Gu Jiting."

"What?" Li Tong frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer. "Brother Gao, you and I are both practitioners, why should we hide it? Gu Jiting's Daluo Cave Heaven is something I have longed for for a long time."

Gao Lian's bitter smile deepened: "Brother Li, you don't know. Back then, Gu Jiting was indeed very close to Gao Gen of my Gao family. Gao Gen even reached some kind of agreement with the head of the family for him. But since Gu Jiting disappeared, our Gao family has been looking for his whereabouts, but unfortunately... nothing has been found."

Li Tong was silent for a moment, as if he was digesting this information. He knew the strength of the Gao family very well. Even they couldn't find Gu Jiting, which showed that this person was indeed extraordinary.

"Brother Gao, can you tell me a little about the relationship between the four great families and the eight extraordinary skills?" Li Tong asked from a different angle.

Gao Lian looked at Li Tong, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it. It doesn't hurt to tell you. The Lu family got the Tongtian Lu, the Wang family got the Juling Qianjiang, the Lu family got the Shuangquan Hands, and my Gao family got the Daluo Dongtian."

"I see." Li Tong nodded, and his desire for Gu Jiting became stronger. "Then Brother Gao, do you know what is the secret of Gu Jiting's Daluo Cave Heaven?"

Gao Lian shook his head: "I don't know about that. Gu Jiting is a mysterious person, and his Daluo Cave Heaven is even more unfathomable. It is said that only those who truly inherit his legacy can glimpse the mystery."

Li Tong was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Gao, thank you for your honesty. I will continue to look for Gu Jiting's whereabouts, and I hope that one day I will get what I want."

"Gao Lian, you know what I want." Li Tong's voice was low and firm, "Tell me the whereabouts of Gu Jiting, otherwise..."

Gao Lian frowned and looked at Li Tong in confusion: "You already have such strength, why are you still obsessed with that so-called magical skill?"

Li Tong sneered and tapped the table with his fingers: "Strength? Divine skills? These are not important to me. What's important is that I want to know where Gu Jiting is hiding. I must get the Daluo Cave View in his hand."

Gao Lian took a deep breath. He knew Li Tong's methods and knew that he was not joking. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Gu Jiting... He will show up when the Gao family worships their ancestors."

A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Li Tong's eyes: "Ancestor worship? When?"

"Half a month later." Gao Lian replied.

Li Tong nodded: "Okay, I will visit the Gao family in person in half a month."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Gao Lian: "Also, your daughter Erzhuang, she has also inherited the ability of Daluo Dongguan, right? If she makes any mistakes, don't blame me for not warning you."

Gao Lian's face changed. He knew that Li Tong was threatening him. But he could do nothing but watch Li Tong leave.

Half a month later, the day of the Gao family's ancestor worship arrived as scheduled. Li Tong arrived as scheduled, and he stood outside the gate of the Gao family with a sharp gaze.

"Gu Jiting, you can't escape this time." He muttered to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a familiar breath. Turning around, he saw Wang Ye standing not far away with a playful smile on his face.

"Hey, isn't this Li Tong? Why, you're here to join in the fun too?" Wang Ye teased.

Li Tong raised his eyebrows: "Wang Ye, what are you doing here? Are you here to steal my skills?"

Wang also shook his head: "Stealing skills? I don't have the time. I'm here to find Lu Liang. Do you know where he is?"

Li Tong was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Ye to come here just for Lü Liang. He shook his head and said, "I don't know where Lü Liang is, and I'm not interested in his whereabouts."

Wang Ye's face darkened: "Li Tong, don't play dumb. Lu Liang's disappearance must be related to you."

Li Tong sneered, "Wang Ye, please don't spit blood at me. What does Lü Liang's disappearance have to do with me? I don't have the time to care about his life or death."

Wang Ye's eyes flashed with anger: "Li Tong, you'd better pray that Lu Liang is okay, otherwise I won't let you go!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Li Tong sneering in his place.

Wang Ye anxiously asked Li Tong: "Where is Lu Liang? Where did you take him?" Li Tong took a deep breath and replied: "He is now at the Lu family. He is safe."

"Safe?" Wang Ye frowned. "Do you know what kind of existence the Lu family is? If Lu Liang falls into their hands, what good will happen to him?"

Li Tong shook his head slightly, signaling Wang Ye to calm down: "I know you are worried, but now is not the time to discuss this. Let's leave here first and find a quiet place to talk."

The two left the noisy scene and returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the door, Wang couldn't wait to ask: "What are you thinking? How can you hand Lu Liang over to the Lu family?"

Li Tong sighed and began to narrate what happened. It turned out that he felt the power and cunningness of the Lu family during his confrontation with Lu Ci. He knew that it would be difficult to rescue Lu Liang from the Lu family with his own strength and Wang Ye's. So he made a difficult decision - to hand Lu Liang over to the Lu family in exchange for the Lu family's trust and forgiveness. "You are trafficking in human beings!" Wang Ye interrupted Li Tong angrily, "How could you do this? Lu Liang is our friend, how can we sacrifice him for our own safety?"

Li Tong was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I know this sounds cruel, but I have no better choice. The Lu family is powerful and we can't fight them. Besides, Lu Liang can at least save his life in the Lu family. If we forcibly save him, it will only make things worse."

"You are just making excuses!" Wang Ye was so angry that his face turned red. "We can't abandon our friends just because we are afraid! Lu Liang is our partner, we can't just watch him fall into the tiger's mouth!"

Both of them were extremely emotional, and the quarrel echoed in the room. Finally, Li Tong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I know you are angry, but please believe me, I am doing this for everyone's good. The Lu family is not someone we can afford to offend. We need to stay calm and rational."

Wang Ye also began to doubt Li Tong, but Li Tong patted his chest and assured him, "I will never betray Lu Liang!"

"Oh? Then how did you take Lu Liang back from him?" Wang Ye asked with a raised eyebrow.

Li Tong chuckled, his eyes flashing with cunning light: "The hermit has his own clever plan, I used a trick to replace the prince with a cat!"

Wang Ye's heart moved. Could it be that Li Tong really found someone who was very similar to Lu Liang and replaced him?

"How did you find this person? Is there really such a coincidence in the world?" Wang couldn't help but ask.

Li Tong smiled proudly, but did not directly answer Wang Ye's question. Instead, he said mysteriously: "This is my secret, I can't tell you casually."

Wang Ye shook his head helplessly and stopped asking questions. He knew that although Li Tong was a bit cunning, he was still very loyal to his friends. Since he didn't want to say it, he didn't need to force it.

"By the way, what are your plans next?" Wang Ye asked, changing the subject.

Li Tong restrained his smile and said seriously: "We must go to the Gao family's birthday party in half a month."

"Oh? Why?" Wang Ye asked curiously.

"Because the scarface who attacked you might appear at the Gao family's birthday party." Li Tong said in a deep voice.

Wang Ye heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "That guy...sooner or later, I will settle accounts with him!"

Li Tong nodded in agreement: "Yes, that guy is indeed a trouble. However, we can't act rashly. We need to plan carefully."

The two discussed for a while and decided to secretly investigate the Gao family's situation before making plans.

At this moment, Li Tong suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Wang Ye asked.

"Do you know Shen Tu-Ma Liang?" Li Tong asked mysteriously.

Wang also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Shen Tu-Ma Liang is a very rare ability. It can copy a person's genetic sample and then create a person with the same genes as the original." Li Tong explained.

"Oh? There is such ability?" Wang Ye said in surprise.

"That's right. Although this cloned person does not have the memory and means of the original person, he can grow up in a pure environment and become a brand new person." Li Tong continued.

"Tell me, is it because I am the successor of the Eight Great Skills that he is targeting me like this?" Wang Ye rubbed his temple, feeling helpless.

Li Tong shook his head. "No, Zhang Chulan and Feng Xingtong are also descendants of the Eight Wonders. Why didn't Gu Jiting go looking for trouble with them?"

The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Forget it. We are not to be trifled with." Li Tong patted Wang Ye's shoulder, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Just then, Lu Liang suddenly rushed in, looking panic-stricken.

"Oh no, I seem to be dragged in!" Lu Liang gasped, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Li Tong and Wang Ye looked at each other, their hearts sinking. They knew that Lu Liang's involvement would only make things more complicated.

"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly what's going on." Wang Ye tried to calm Lu Liang down.

Lu Liang took a deep breath and told the whole story in detail. It turned out that he learned some secrets of Gu Jiting by chance, and as a result, he was targeted.

"What should we do now? I don't know martial arts, so I'm definitely no match for Gu Jiting." Lu Liang looked at Wang Ye and Li Tong helplessly.

Li Tong pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing now is to protect your safety and not let Gu Jiting find you. I will find a way to switch you and let you hide temporarily."

As he said that, Li Tong started to move, and soon knocked Lü Liang unconscious. Looking at Lü Liang lying on the ground, Wang Ye and Li Tong both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the story does not end there. After Lü Liang's identity was exposed, his safety became the focus of everyone's attention. Li Tong suggested that Lü Liang use the Shuangquan Hand to change his appearance to avoid Gu Jiting's pursuit.

Although Lü Liang was a little hesitant, he finally agreed to Li Tong's suggestion. After some effort, he successfully changed his appearance and became unrecognizable.

"This should be fine, right?" Lu Liang looked at himself in the mirror and said with some discomfort.

Li Tong nodded. "It should be fine. As long as you don't reveal your identity, Gu Jiting shouldn't be able to find you."

However, things did not go as smoothly as they imagined. Gu Jiting seemed to have doubts about Lu Liang's identity and began to look for him everywhere.

At the same time, Li Tong's original plan to treat Er Zhuang had to be put on hold. He was worried that Lu Liang's identity would be exposed during the treatment, which would bring him greater danger. (End of this chapter)
