After all the disciples thanked him, Tianwen Shouzao continued: "Elder Ye, who is thousands of miles away, sent me a flying pigeon biography, after a hundred years of lurking, the Yin Sha Sect has re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, as a famous and decent family, we want to eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao, from today on, I will arrange for you to go down the mountain in batches to practice, looking for traces of the Yin Sha Sect, I hope you can do your best." ”

Shangguan Yun smiled slightly, stood up, and said to the disciples: "Three days later, I will lead the first batch of people down the mountain, the list has been posted outside the main hall, after the class, you go to take a look, check the name, watch the time, and prepare in advance." ”

After everyone dispersed, Ye Fan flew into the main hall, looked at Shangguan Yun and Tianwen with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm back." ”

The moment he saw Ye Fan, Shangguan Yun's eyes turned red, tears swirled in his eyes, pursed his lips, and tried not to cry, after Tianwen saw Ye Fan, he showed a relieved smile and said: "Brother Ye, you are finally back, you have been away for almost a month, and we have been worried about your safety." ”

Ye Fan smiled slightly and said: "During the time I left, a lot of things happened, the Zoroastrian leader was killed, and the Holy Maiden returned to charge of Zoroastrianism, you all know about it, so I won't go into details." After speaking, Ye Fan found a place to sit down, lit a cigarette, leaned lazily against the pillar, a trace of exhaustion flashed on his face, during this time, Ye Fan almost unanimously did not rest, either fighting or refining, although Ye Fan has the special ability to quickly transform aura, but he is still mentally tired.

Seeing Ye Fan's tired face, Shangguan Yun couldn't hold back any longer, tears poured out instantly, and then walked behind Ye Fan, gently kneaded Ye Fan's shoulders, and complained: "I only know how to run around, and I don't know how to take good care of myself." ”

Ye Fan gently patted the back of Shangguan Yun's hand and said, "After I entered the no man's land, I met the Harim clan, helped them eradicate the rebels, stabilized the situation, and got the news of the Desperate Valley from the Harim clan, so I went to the Desperate Valley, and before entering the Desperate Valley, I met the Holy Maiden in the Lost Swamp...... Later we enter the Valley of Despair and discover the biggest secret hidden. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Fan paused slightly and took a puff on his cigarette.

Tianwen Shouzao and Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Fan expectantly and said, "What secret?"

Ye Fan sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued: "Shenzhou is actually a part of the cultivation realm, and it was forcibly separated from the cultivation realm by an ancient power, making Shenzhou a self-contained entity, and the Harim clan is the retinue selected by the ancient power from the cultivation realm to assist the ancient power to guard the treasures together, and as for the Yin Sha Gate, they are the descendants of that power. ”

What? Tianwen Shouza and the Holy Maiden were all stunned, looked at Ye Fan stupidly, and then said eagerly: "Yin Sha Sect, it is actually a descendant of great power? It can isolate the ancient power of the cultivation realm and Shenzhou, it is definitely an existence against the sky, no wonder the successive masters of the Yin Sha Gate are very strong." ”

Ye Fan continued: "That's right, the Ancient Power is definitely an existence against the sky, I think I am extremely proficient in the formation, but when I encounter the formation set by the Ancient Power, I can't even understand one thousandth, no, one in ten thousand. As for the first generation of the Yin Sha Gate, he is a descendant of the ancient power, and in order to get the things protected by the power, he rebelled and created the Yin Sha Gate......"

When Tianwen Shouzao and Shangguan Yun heard these news, they couldn't help but gasp, and now they finally understood the origin of the Yin Evil Gate.

"What kind of treasure did the ancient powers protect? They actually isolated the cultivation realm from the Divine Prefecture, and even arranged for people to guard it. Tianwen asked excitedly, although Tianwen didn't know what the treasure was, but he had already guessed that it was definitely an existence against the sky.

Ye Fan explained: "An unknown ancient tree, with seven fruits on it, it seems to be ripe, I heard the master of the Yin Sha Sect say that the fruit of the ancient tree has been growing for thousands of years, that is, because of the absorption of the ancient tree, the aura of Shenzhou is thin, and the ancient power in order to protect the ancient tree, only isolate Shenzhou from the cultivation realm, and personally bring people to protect it." ”

Hiss......

Tianwen Shouzao and Shangguan Yun gasped, the fruit that only condensed for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, they have been absorbing the aura of Shenzhou, and only seven fruits have been produced, how much is that against the sky?

"This is what I've experienced recently, Tianwen Shouza, if you want to open the ban on protecting thousand-year-old trees, you have to get together seven fragments, I have six now, and there is still one missing, I have tried, I want to open the ban on ancient trees, but no matter how hard I try, it will be useless, I can't do it at all, so, if you want to get the fruit, you must gather seven fragments. Ye Fan continued.

Tianwen nodded and said, "I immediately ordered to search for fragments within the Divine Prefecture, by the way, Ye Fan, the previous six fragments were all found by you in the Martial Arts Realm, I suggest that you return to the Martial Arts Realm to look for them, maybe the seventh fragment is in the Martial Arts Realm." ”

Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully and said: "Senior Brother Tianwen, what you said makes sense, but now I can't leave, the Yin Sha Sect Master is strong, and in the entire Shenzhou, no one can defeat him except me, because he is practicing the True Cultivation Exercises, you are not familiar with the True Cultivation Exercises, and it is difficult for you to deal with it when facing the Yin Sha Sect Master." ”

Tianwen Shouza said, "Then after cleaning up the Yin Sha Gate, you return to the Martial Arts Realm to look for the seventh fragment, I sit in Shenzhou to look for it, the thousand-year-old tree only bears seven fruits, it is definitely against the sky, I can't guess, even if we can't get it, we can't fall into the hands of the Yin Sha Gate, once the Yin Sha Gate Master gets it, Shenzhou will be shrouded in the shadow of the Yin Sha Gate." ”

Ye Fan smiled and said, "The six fragments are all here, and the master of the Yin Demon Sect can't imagine it." ”

Then, Ye Fan asked: "Senior Brother Tianwen, Shangguan Yun, there is one thing I have always wondered about, but I'm embarrassed to ask, now is an extraordinary period, and I don't have so many worries." ”

Tianwen Shouzao smiled slightly and said, "We are our own family, nothing to be embarrassed about, just ask." ”

"Since I entered Shenzhou, the head of the Sword Sect has been in retreat and cultivation, and it has been almost three months now, as far as I know, the retreat in Shenzhou is generally a week, at most a month, could it be that the head of the Sword Sect is in retreat?" Ye Fan finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Tianwen's face sank suddenly, and Shangguan Yun's face also became very heavy, which made Ye Fan feel that something was wrong.

"Brother Ye, after you left the no-man's land, I was also very puzzled about this matter, so I went to the place where the head of the retreat was held, and found that the servants who took care of the head of the house had all died in the cave of the retreat**, and the flesh had rotted, and only the bones remained, which means that it has been dead for a long time, that is, for several months, no one has sent food to the head of the house. ”

"Although the head of the sect has profound skills, he has not yet reached the realm of Bigu, and if he doesn't eat or drink for a few months, I'm afraid he will ......" Speaking of this, Tianwen Shouzao's eyes were red, tears flowed down, Shangguan Yun couldn't help it, and threw himself into Ye Fan's arms and cried bitterly.

Ye Fan gently patted Shangguan Yun's back, but did not speak, Ye Fan knew that the position of the head of the family in Shangguan Yun's heart was like his own parents, no matter how much comfort he wanted, he could only wait for Shangguan Yun to vent the sadness in his heart.

After a long time, Shangguan Yun stopped crying and lay on Ye Fan's arms and sobbed.

Tianwen Shouzao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Brother Ye, the head of the sect is definitely no longer there, in order to avoid causing chaos, I didn't open the cave of retreat, and it's normal to pretend to be together." ”

"The head of the sect is strong, known as the number one master in Shenzhou, why did there go wrong during the retreat?" Ye Fan asked in a deep voice, Ye Fan felt that this matter was not simple, it must have been premeditated.

Tianwen said in a deep voice: "The purpose of the retreat is to avoid disturbance from the outside world, to concentrate on cultivation, even if you practice in retreat, you will eat and rest regularly, if no one regularly delivers food, the head of the sect will definitely come out, so the head of the sect must have suffered an accident first, and the servant who delivered the meal was also killed." Because the location of the retreat of the Zhanmen was hidden, no one usually went there, and I didn't pay attention to it, so by the time we found out, it was already too late. ”

Ye Fan said coldly: "Someone must have plotted against the leader, but with the strength of the leader, even if someone plotted, it would not be so easy to succeed." ”

"Brother Ye, let's go and have a look, I've always wanted to open the retreat cave, but I can't bear to see the tragic death of the head of the sect, so I haven't entered it. The corners of Tianwen's eyes became moist again, he has been a senior brother for nearly a hundred years, and his feelings are extremely deep, and it is difficult for Tianwen Shouzuo to accept the reality that the head of the house is dead.

When the three of them arrived at the retreat location, Ye Fan walked into the cave and saw several corpses with only bones left, which were already covered with cobwebs, and then, Ye Fan's eyes fell on the stone door, Ye Fan first used his divine sense to probe the stone gate, and then suddenly slapped his palm on the stone door, and then, Ye Fan suddenly dragged back, and under the sweep of the palm wind, the fragments of the stone gate were thrown outside the cave.

Tianwen Shouzao and Shangguan Yun were suddenly shocked in their hearts, the stone gate was forged by a special method, it was extremely strong, and it was actually broken by Ye Fan's palm, it seems that Ye Fan's strength has improved a lot.

"I'll go in first. Ye Fan nodded at Tianwen Shouzao and Shangguan Yun, and then took the lead in walking into the cave, inside the cave is a huge natural karst cave, the space is huge, the terrain is also relatively complex, a large number of stalagmites and stalactites are around, the air inside is very humid, with a musty smell.

Ye Fan activated his divine sense and swept it, and finally his gaze fell on the northeast corner of the cave, where there was a platform.
