Chapter 250 Mysterious Realm
Night fell, and the stars twinkled, but it could not dispel the haze in Gao Xingchen's heart. The scene of losing the game was like a thorn in his side, lingering in his mind, especially Xuan Yu's sudden attack and the strange energy fluctuation at the last moment, which made him feel puzzled.
"Could it be... that my failure was not accidental?" Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, with a strong premonition rising in his heart, "Xuan Yu, who is he? What secrets are hidden behind him?"
He stood up suddenly, the doubts in his heart growing like weeds, making him unable to ignore them. He decided to start with Xuan Yu's background and began to collect information about him.
Gao Xingchen first found Master Zhang. This highly respected master of weapon refining was knowledgeable and experienced, and perhaps he could help him solve his doubts.
"Master Zhang, how much do you know about Xuan Yu?" Gao Xingchen asked straight to the point.
Master Zhang stroked his graying beard, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Xuan Yu is a man of extraordinary talent. He has made great achievements in weapon refining at a young age, but..."
At this point, Master Zhang paused slightly, seeming a little hesitant.
"Just what?" Gao Xingchen asked, becoming even more curious.
"It's just that I always feel that there seems to be a layer of fog shrouding this boy, making it difficult to see clearly." Master Zhang frowned slightly, "His refining techniques and the materials he uses are different from those of ordinary people. It seems... that they come from an ancient school."
"Ancient school?" Gao Xingchen's heart moved. Could it be that Xuan Yu's abnormality was related to this school?
"That's right." Master Zhang nodded, "But I have no idea which sect it is. This sect acts in secret and rarely appears in the world. There is even less information about them."
Gao Xingchen frowned, and his doubts grew even more intense. What kind of connection is there between an ancient and secretive weapon-refining school and a young man with extraordinary talent but strange behavior?
In order to solve the mystery, Gao Xingchen decided to continue his investigation. He found Zhao Fushang, a well-informed material supplier who might be able to provide some clues.
"Boss Zhao, have you ever heard of an ancient weapon refining school?" Gao Xingchen asked.
When Mr. Zhao heard this, his expression changed slightly and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Ancient school of weapon refining? This... I have never heard of it." Mr. Zhao laughed it off, trying to evade the question.
Gao Xingchen keenly noticed the abnormality of the wealthy businessman Zhao, and he became more certain that what he was investigating was of great importance.
"Boss Zhao, you don't have to hide it. I know you must know something." Gao Xingchen said in a firm tone, staring at the wealthy businessman Zhao with burning eyes.
Zhao Fushang felt uneasy when Gao Xingchen looked at him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hesitated whether to say it out...
The wealthy businessman Zhao felt uneasy when Gao Xingchen looked at him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Mr. Gao, you don't know that this ancient weapon-refining school is not a good thing. They act in a secretive way, with cruel means, and..."
"And what?" Gao Xingchen asked.
"And what they are best at is the evil weapon refining technique. It is said that they can use the souls and blood of living people to refine magic weapons, which are extremely powerful!" When Zhao Fushang said this, his face was already full of horror.
Gao Xingchen was shocked when he heard this. He never thought that there was such an evil weapon refining technique in this world! If Xuan Yu was really from this school, then his previous strange actions would make sense.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for telling me. I will be careful." Gao Xingchen bowed to the wealthy businessman Zhao and turned to leave.
He had already made up his mind that he must find out Xuan Yu's background. If he was really practicing evil magic, he would not sit idly by!
At night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, which was a good time to act. Gao Xingchen took advantage of the night and sneaked into Xuan Yu's residence.
Xuan Yu's room was simply furnished, with only a bed, a table, and a shelf filled with various books and tools. Gao Xingchen carefully looked through the things on the shelf, hoping to find some clues.
He first picked up a book, and saw a few blood-red characters on the cover: "The Secret Method of Blood Soul Weapon Refining". Gao Xingchen was shocked. The title of the book sounded very evil. Could this be the evil weapon refining method that Mr. Zhao mentioned?
He opened the book and saw that it contained all kinds of strange methods of refining weapons, including some evil techniques of using the souls and blood of living people to refine magic weapons. Gao Xingchen's scalp tingled after reading it.
He picked up some tools on the shelf and found that these tools were also different from ordinary refining tools. They were engraved with some strange runes and exuded a cold aura.
The more Gao Xingchen watched, the more frightened he became. He was almost certain that Xuan Yu was practicing evil magic! But he didn't understand why Xuan Yu did this? What was his purpose?
At this moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. He was startled and quickly put the things in his hand back to their original place, then hid in the corner of the room.
The door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. In the faint moonlight, Gao Xingchen recognized that the person was Nan Li!
Why is Nan Li here? What is she doing here? Gao Xingchen is full of doubts.
Nan Li walked straight to the shelf, picked up a book and started reading. There was no expression on her face, as if she was just doing something very ordinary.
Gao Xingchen held his breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Nan Li. He stared at Nan Li closely, his heart filled with doubt and uneasiness.
What is Nan Li doing? Why did she come to Xuan Yu's room? Has she already known Xuan Yu's secret?
Nan Li's slender fingers gently stroked the pages of the book, but her eyes were extremely cold, as if she could see through the secrets behind the pages. Gao Xingchen's heart was in his throat. He didn't know what Nan Li had discovered, and he didn't know how to explain why he was here.
Nan Li suddenly stopped moving, and she raised her head sharply, scanning every corner of the room, as if she had noticed something strange. Gao Xingchen held her breath, not daring to move, for fear of being discovered by Nan Li.
"Come out, I know you are here." Nan Li's voice was as cold as water, but it carried an unquestionable pressure.
Gao Xingchen knew that he could no longer hide, so he took a deep breath and walked out of the corner.
"Nanli, why...why are you here?" Gao Xingchen tried his best to sound calm, but his eyes betrayed his nervousness.
Nan Li did not answer Gao Xingchen's question. She just looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"You...you saw everything?" Gao Xingchen's voice trembled a little. He didn't know how much Nan Li saw, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Nan Li sighed softly, she walked up to Gao Xingchen and whispered, "I know you are worried about Xuan Yu, so you followed him secretly."
Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li in surprise. He didn't expect that Nan Li had seen through his thoughts.
"You...why are you..." Gao Xingchen wanted to ask Nan Li why he did this, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Oh no, Xuan Yu is back!" Gao Xingchen's face changed. He grabbed Nan Li's hand and hid in the secret room of the house.
Gao Xingchen had discovered the secret room by accident before. The entrance was hidden behind the bookshelf and was very secluded.
Just as they hid, the door was suddenly pushed open and Xuan Yu walked in with a gloomy face.
"Who is it? Who is here?" Xuan Yu's voice was full of anger and vigilance, and his sharp eyes swept every corner of the room.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li hid in the secret room, not daring to breathe, for fear of being discovered by Xuan Yu.
Xuan Yu searched the room and found nothing unusual, but he did not relax his vigilance. He walked to the bookshelf, stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly a few times, as if testing something.
Gao Xingchen's heart beat faster and faster, he was worried that Xuan Yu would discover the secret of the secret room.
At this critical moment, Nan Li suddenly took action. She slapped the bookshelf with one palm, and the books on the bookshelf immediately fell like raindrops, attracting Xuan Yu's attention.
Gao Xingchen took the opportunity to pull Nan Li up and rushed out of the secret room.
"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen growled and pulled Nan Li out of the room.
When Xuan Yu realized what was happening, he immediately became furious. He roared and chased after him.
A tense chase unfolded under the cover of night, with Gao Xingchen and Nan Li running on the narrow streets, with Xuan Yu chasing closely behind them.
At the critical moment, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li took advantage of the terrain and successfully got rid of Xuan Yu and disappeared into the night.
"Damn it!" Xuan Yu roared angrily, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes flashed with resentment.
After Gao Xingchen and Nan Li returned to their residence, they both felt a sense of fear.
"Who is Xuan Yu? Why does he practice evil arts?" Gao Xingchen frowned, his heart full of doubts.
Nanli shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"It seems that we have to find a way to find out Xuan Yu's background." Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Nanli nodded to show her agreement.
As the night deepened, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li remained silent. They were both thinking about the same question: What was the secret behind Xuan Yu? What was his real purpose?
