Demon Hunter Headquarters, Intelligence Division.

Li Yucheng was telling Xu Yi about Xie Budong's heroic deeds, starting from the killing of demon beasts, one by one, Xu Yi listened with a smile, occasionally glanced at Xie Budong, his eyes were full of love.

At this moment, Xie Budong, as the protagonist, is hugging his shoulders and shrinking in a daze on the sofa.

When he left Cangtou Village, he remembered the system prompt in his mind: "Detect the soul power that can be collected, and match whether 98% of the soul power is absorbed." ”

"Yes. ”

I checked it with my mind and found that there was an option called "Soul Power" in the attribute bar.

Soul Power: Fourth-Order Soul Crystal X9. (Note: Soul power can be synthesized or decomposed, the first-order soul power can be decomposed into 10 ordinary soul crystals, the second-order can be decomposed into 20 ordinary soul crystals, and the third-order can be decomposed into 40 ten ordinary soul crystals...... ）

Xie Budong tried to decompose a fourth-order soul crystal, and in an instant, the data column changed slightly:

Soul Power: Fourth-Order Soul Crystal X8, Normal Soul Crystal X80.

Remembering that the longsword needed to upgrade was soul power, he dismantled all the soul crystals, and then selected the "longsword" in his mind to upgrade.

"Upgrading the longsword requires the consumption of 100 ordinary soul crystals, and currently has 720 ordinary soul crystals, whether to upgrade: yes/no"

"Yes. ”

Xie Budong "saw" in his mind that a burst of red light wrapped the long sword, and after about ten minutes, the red light dissipated, and the long sword returned to its usual state.

"Weapon: Longsword

Current grade: Yellow Tier 3

Upgrade Condition: 100 Tier 1 Soul Crystals (0/100)

Side Skill: Soul Dementor

Soul Dementor: When activated, it can automatically ingest the power of all recognizable ownerless souls within a 100 meter radius. ”

After the long sword was upgraded, it became a weapon of the third grade of the Yellow Order, which was already a very powerful weapon, and in the evaluation of the system, a divine weapon like the Heavenly Sword Dragon Slayer Knife was only a first-grade weapon of the Yellow Order.

"Xiaodong, Xiaodong. ”

Li Yucheng's shout interrupted Xie Budong's contemplation, and he looked up to find that there were a few more in the room.

In addition to Ye Heng, Li Yucheng, and Lin Cheng, there are a few people who don't know each other but have some familiar eyes standing here.

"Xiaodong, let me introduce to you, this is Li Xiang, the captain of the second team, Cheng Tao, the fourth captain, Fang Mingyuan, the fifth captain, Wang Song, the sixth captain, and Sun Jian, the ninth captain, and this is Zhang Meng, the leader of the intelligence team. Every time Li Yucheng introduced someone, the people who were named nodded to Xie Budong.

"This is all the grassroots combatants of our Demon Hunter Yancheng Branch. ”

"Brother Li, what are you?"

"Xiaodong, thanks to you this time, we have taken another catastrophe, and we have also rescued the bodies of our comrades-in-arms, these people want to express their gratitude to you in person. ”

After speaking, although some people present, including Li Yucheng and Ye Heng, bowed deeply to Xie Budong: "Thank you Mr. Xie for your great kindness, the demon hunter will not be able to repay it. ”

"What are the brothers doing, isn't this a break for me!" Xie Budong was flattered, and hurriedly helped him up one by one, he really admired these unsung heroes, hiding in the shadows and silently defending the peace of the city with their lives.

"Okay, okay, thank you all expressed, everyone disperses. Li Yucheng gave an order, and several captains said hello and left one after another, leaving Li Yucheng and Ye Heng in the room.

"Old Ye, tell me what you know. ”

Ye Heng glanced at Xu Yi and stopped talking.

"Brother, it's too stuffy here, can I go out and take a walk?" Xu Yi is very smart, he knows that these people have something to talk about.

"Well, go ahead, don't run around. Brother Li, let your sister-in-law accompany her. Xie Budong didn't believe Xu Yi, but he knew that what he said next might be very dangerous, and he didn't want Xu Yi to worry about him.

After sending Xu Yi away, Ye Heng quickly entered the working state: "Just now I urgently investigated the database, the first generation of the Ye family's head Ye Sanniu moved to Yancheng from Fuyang City, Zhongzhou Province one hundred and sixty-two years ago, and the first few years have been very unsatisfactory, but as Ye Sanniu's second son Ye Lan grew up, the situation has changed.

Yelan has an amazing talent for business, and in that era when everyone was still worried about having enough to eat, Yelan has started to build his own business empire from many aspects.

Yelan lived to die at the age of 66, and before his death, he passed the position of head of the family to his youngest grandson Yeheng"

Speaking of this, Ye Heng paused awkwardly.

Ye Heng perfectly inherited his grandfather's business talent, and under his governance, the Ye family gradually squeezed into the ranks of those traditional big families, you must know that this is very difficult to do, a small portal relocated from other places can compete with the big families in the city whose owners have a foundation for hundreds of years, which is simply impossible in the eyes of outsiders.

When Ye Heng was 63 years old, he also passed the position of head of the family to his grandson Yexuan, and then it is said that he traveled the world. Yexuan is the grandfather of Yejunyan, he is like the ancestors, after taking over the family business, he began to expand the development of the industry, suppress dissidents, and soon fought against the original three families, became one of the four major families, and after a few years of development, the Yejia has faintly become the head of the four major families, but they act low-key, never bully others and rarely have conflicts with others, so the topic of the night family rarely appears, and the people do not know much about this huge family. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Heng stopped, and he glanced at Xie Budong deeply. He continued: "After receiving your news, I began to investigate the unusual information of the Night House, and found two unusual things before you returned.

The first is that in the past 100 years, all the people or corporate legal persons who have had conflicts with the Ye family have died within three years, and the causes of death are all reasonable, some die of disease, some die of accidents, but without exception have nothing to do with the Ye family.

Second, at 10:28 this morning, Ye Heng, the contemporary head of the Ye family, passed away at the age of 69 in Bohua Hospital, and according to his doctor's advice, it was Ye Jun, who had just turned 20, who succeeded him as the chairman of the Night Market Group.

I found a very interesting thing about Yejun, judging from his past experience, Yejunyan is very low-key, adhering to the fine tradition of the Yejia family, and never bullying others, this so-called Yancheng Four Youths is just spontaneously selected by the people. In the past twenty years, Ye Junyan has never done anything out of the ordinary, nor has he done anything outstanding, it can be said that if it weren't for the eldest son and grandson of the Ye family, he would almost be an ordinary teenager who can no longer be ordinary.

And I found that not only Yejun, but also Ye Heng and Yelan, were ordinary existences until the age of 20, they all died when their grandfather died at the age of 20, and then after taking over the family business, they suddenly changed from a passerby to a world-famous genius. ”

After Ye Heng finished speaking, he looked at the silent Xie Budong and said, "Xiaodong, have you found any problems?"

"Soul inheritance, that Yelan is likely to be the current Night Monarch!"

"I also have this suspicion, it may be some kind of secret method that allows Yelan's soul to be transferred to his designated heir after death, but what doesn't make sense is that both Yelan and Ye Heng are very low-key, only seeking economic development with peace of mind, why did Yejun suddenly do such an irrational thing?"

Xie Budong pondered what Ye Jun Yan had said: "He may want to use me as an opportunity to suppress the Luo family, but after discovering that I am not an ordinary person, he wants to kill me." ”

"It's a possibility. Li Yucheng said: "Fortunately, this Night Monarch was killed by Xiaodong, otherwise if he keeps hiding, I'm afraid we will all find out his conspiracy." ”

"I don't think so. Xie Budong shook his head: "Yejun is not dead, although he was slapped by me with all his strength, but with his ability, it is impossible to die easily, the best possibility is that he was seriously injured by my palm and escaped, if not, then everything we see today is probably just what he wants us to see." ”

"Xiaodong, you tell me in detail. Li Yucheng and Ye Heng were aroused, they didn't directly fight Ye Jun Yan, and they didn't understand how terrifying his strength was.

"From what I've done with him, he's only shown three tricks: summoning bats, driving golems, and the 'Crimson Dance'.

Not to mention the first two, that Crimson Dance is a ball of blood light that envelops people, and it is extremely corrosive, if it weren't for my protective armor, I'm afraid I would have died in his hands at that time.

And when he took advantage of the weakness to attack with all his strength lightly, I could clearly feel that he didn't resist with all his strength at all, and even if I hit him, it was as if he deliberately let me hit. Speaking of this, Xie Budong tried his best to recall the scene at that time and continued: "When my palm pressed on his chest, I could obviously feel a playful look in his eyes. ”

"Old Ye, it seems that you still have to keep an eye on this Night Monarch. Li Yucheng gloated and looked at Ye Heng and said, "Our safety is in the hands of your intelligence department." ”

Ye Heng didn't pay attention to Li Yucheng, he said to Xie Budong: "Xiaodong, don't worry, I will do my best to track the whereabouts of Ye Jun, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." ”
