Old Yandai trembled as he spoke, "Li Po, Li Po made a move even earlier than us. We have to go back and explain to the hall master, otherwise, our families will be finished."

Old Yandai grabbed the little dwarf and ran, constantly changing his route along the way, trying to shake off my pursuit.

What he didn't know was that I was following less than fifty meters behind him, watching him flee in a panic.

Just as Old Yandai was about to reach the mountain pass, another eagle's cry came from the sky.

Old Yandai shuddered in fright, and the fire-eyed golden eagle swooped down towards the two of them, throwing a black object from under its claws.

Before the object could land, the little dwarf leaped up, caught it in his arms in mid-air, rolled around a few times while holding it, and then stopped, desperately holding the object up and shouting, "Old Yan, I caught it!"

A cell phone!

The thing the little dwarf was willing to be seriously injured to catch was a cell phone?

Old Yandai snatched the phone and fiddled with it for a few moments before playing a video.

The person recording the video had deliberately recorded a scene to allow Old Yandai to clearly see the location, which was clearly the Wu Xing's second stronghold.

Soon, Wang the Butcher, dressed in a red cheongsam, walked gracefully towards the gate of the stronghold, swaying her fan.

Old Yandai, holding the phone, had no interest in admiring Wang the Butcher's graceful figure. Instead, his hands trembled non-stop, and he kept muttering, "Don't do it, don't do it..."

Unfortunately, the phone only contained a recording; it couldn't hear his pleas, nor would it change the story because of him.

After a while, Wang the Butcher's voice came over: "I want to speak to the person in charge."

Someone retorted, "Who are you?"

Wang the Butcher said with a smile, "Someone who slaughters pigs!"

The person, for some unknown reason, replied directly, "There are no pigs here. Leave now!"

"In my eyes, everyone inside and outside this gate is a pig!" As Wang the Butcher's voice faded, the sound of a steel knife cutting through throats rang out suddenly.

Amidst the sounds of knives and screams, Old Yandai threw the phone to the ground in fright, held his head in his hands, and wailed, "It's over! It's all over! We can't clear our suspicion now."

Before long, the sound of knives in the phone stopped abruptly, and Old Yandai picked up the phone with trembling hands. He would have been better off not looking, because his face turned pale as soon as he did.

The little dwarf shook the dazed Old Yandai vigorously, "Old Yan, what's wrong? Say something!"

Old Yandai muttered to himself, "Li Po, they are too ruthless. They deliberately left one person alive. Our traitorous crime is definitely confirmed. We're finished!"

The little dwarf screamed, "I told you not to provoke Li Po. Why didn't you listen?"

"Now look! We're all doomed."

Old Yandai scrambled up from the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in circles, "Hall Master Li, I know you're nearby. Come out! I'll apologize to you! I'll kowtow to you, just let me go, please?"

I pulled out a dagger from my body and threw it between the two men: "Only one can live."

Old Yandai and the little dwarf looked at the dagger at the same time. Without a moment's hesitation, they both reached for the hilt.

Just as their fingertips were about to touch the hilt, the little dwarf's fingers suddenly flipped upwards, firing two steel needles.

Caught off guard, Old Yandai was immediately blinded by the steel needles. This, in turn, aroused Old Yandai's ferocity. He leaped up and pounced on the little dwarf, pinning him to the ground and gripping his throat tightly with both hands.

The little dwarf struggled desperately, shouting, "Save me... I..."

The little dwarf was quickly strangled into silence by Old Yandai. I walked up from behind and slapped Old Yandai on the head, causing him to sway and fall to the ground.

I helped the little dwarf up: "Do you know why I saved you?"

Seeing the little dwarf shake his head, I said coldly, "Because you are smarter and fear death more. Only those who fear death are easier to cooperate with."

I said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to Tiewa Temple?"

The little dwarf said, "Our leader noticed Tiewa Temple a long time ago. He believes that although Li Chunfeng and Qu Mo broke through Tiewa Temple back then, they didn't take away the temple's true secret."

"Wu Xing needs that secret."

I asked, "What is the secret of Tiewa Temple?"

"The leader didn't say." The little dwarf shook his head, "Old Yan and I are only responsible for scouting the way. Our mission is complete once we reach the mountain gate of Tiewa Temple. According to Wu Xing's rules, we can't ask too much."

"Hmm!" I nodded slightly.

What the little dwarf said should be correct. In any group, asking too much can easily lead to one's own death.

I asked again, "Wu Xing has investigated Tiewa Temple several times. Haven't you obtained any valuable clues?"

The little dwarf said, "The scouts we sent out were the elite among the elite, but none of them could bring back any information. Not even a single word."

The little dwarf pointed to a stone in the distance: "That stone is the boundary between life and death. Anyone who enters can forget about crossing that stone."
