Chapter 238: Nine-Story King Tower
Speaking of Ye Nantian opening the Jiazi Dragon Gate Lock and entering the Yin Tomb with many tomb robbers, Old Lady Zhou obviously paused and glanced at Ye Yi, who was expressionless on his face.
Then he sighed leisurely, and he continued: "What happened next, I believe you can also guess, this Yin Tomb is full of cannibalistic Yin corpses, although your parents escaped from the Yin Tomb by luck and did not fall into the mouth of the Yin Corpse, but they still inhaled a large amount of corpse gas, and after being secretly sent back by your stepfather, it didn't take long for the corpse poison to die. ”
Hearing the death of his parents, Ye Yi's face suddenly became much heavier, but he still didn't say a word.
Old lady Zhou said: "Later, your father-in-law found out that the tomb robbers who entered the Yin Tomb that day were all dead, and found that these tomb robbers who died of corpse poison attack were likely to turn into Yin corpses some time after death. He was afraid, afraid that the mass corpse of a large number of tomb robbers would attract the attention of others, and then expose his excavation of the tomb of the king. ”
"This is a major crime of extermination, so he is afraid and wants to destroy the bodies of all the tomb robbers involved!"
However, he was only the richest merchant in Yong'an Town, and he had money in his hands, but he didn't have any background, and he didn't have enough people who could be trusted to complete the destruction of his corpse for him, because he had gathered too many tomb robbers at the beginning, and they were all over most of Baihe City. ”
"Therefore, in the end, he could only turn to me for help, tell all the causes and consequences, and ask my Zhou family to help him complete the process of destroying the body. ”
"That's how your parents died, and the whole reason why they were exhumed and burned. After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she stood aside quietly and stopped talking.
Ye Yi also stood quietly, he couldn't see too much emotion on his face, but there was a faint seven-colored fire dancing in the deepest part of his eyes, he didn't know what mood he was in now, and he didn't know what mood he should be in.
After being silent for a long time, the fire in Ye Yi's eyes slowly faded, he exhaled lightly, and said slowly: "Prepare, I'll take you to the edge of the palace wall." ”
Ye Yi's reaction probably did not deviate from Old Lady Zhou's expectations, and he was slightly relieved when he heard Ye Yi's answer.
What he said was the truth, he had promised Ye Nantian that he would never tell this secret for the rest of his life, but now, he broke his promise.
Telling this secret is not only in exchange for Ye Yi's immediate help, but also for the survival of the family in the future.
Ye Yi's talent for metaphysical cultivation is too terrifying, the son of a dirty tomb robber who was not looked down upon by him at all in the past, suddenly rose a year ago, and was admitted to Qingluo Academy with the second score in the whole mansion, becoming the pride of heaven in the whole Ziyang Mansion.
After returning after a year, his cultivation soared from the first level of the Imperial Qi Realm to the fifth level of the Soul Gathering Realm, and his terrifying combat power was comparable to that of the Soul Realm Xuan Xiu.
Although the more he cultivated in the Xuan Cultivation Realm, the more difficult it was to progress, but Ye Yi's talent was really amazing, it was hard to imagine what kind of height his strength would be if he was given another five or even ten years?
Maybe he can really do what he just said, if his stepfather dies in the tomb of King Li, then he will come to the door one by one in the future and send all the participants down to the Huangquan Prefecture to bury his father-in-law.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou chose to tell the secret of the year, because he felt that Ye Nan's hope of survival was too slim, and he was afraid that Ye Yi would go to the extreme because of this, and one day he would really raise his sword to kill him.
Therefore, he told the secret of the year, and he wanted to bury a nail in Ye Yi's heart, even if he couldn't make him turn against Ye Nantian, it would probably weaken his father-son relationship with Ye Nantian, and make him give up avenging his father-in-law who was likely to die as much as possible.
The purpose has been achieved, Ye Yi also agreed to bring them safely to the edge of the palace wall, and the old lady Zhou did not say a word, and directly removed the isolation ban, so that everyone could get ready and follow Ye Yi.
Although everyone was curious about the secret in Mrs. Zhou's mouth, they were not stupid enough to ask, and only silently prepared themselves.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and Ye Yi used his spiritual eye to carefully leave the palace where everyone was originally hiding, hiding his aura all the way and avoiding the many patrolling Yin corpses.
It took a full quarter of an hour to finally bring it to the edge of the palace wall.
In addition to the patrolling yin corpses on the side of the palace wall, there are also fixed "standing guard" yin corpses, this level cannot be avoided at all, after Ye Yi brought them here, after dropping a sentence of "good for it", he turned around and left directly.
After leaving a distance, Ye Yi heard the violent fighting movement behind him, and many Yin corpses around him were rushing there, but he found the opportunity to go against the current and head towards the Nine-Fold King Tower in the center.
The deeper he went, the stronger the Yin Corpses he encountered, and along the way, Ye Yiguang saw no less than twenty fifth-order black-haired Yin Corpses, especially, there were several Yin Corpses whose strength fluctuated extremely strongly, and they were in the middle and late stages of the Fifth Order.
Soon, the sky was already bright and the sun came out, although the Yin Corpses did not see the light to die at all, but the gradually rich Yang Qi did suppress the Yin Corpses' spiritual perception and strength, which allowed Ye Yi to evade the patrol of the Yin Corpses more easily.
The nine-story tower is the tallest building in the entire central tomb palace, and it is very conspicuous and can be seen at a glance from afar.
It took Ye Yi more than an hour before he quietly sneaked into the range of the Nine-Fold King Tower, and within the range of this hundred-zhang, he began to search quickly, first searching the area in the direction of the main gate of the Nine-Fold King Pagoda in a fan shape, but he did not find his father-in-law except for seeing a large number of bloodstains on the ground in a few places.
It stands to reason that Father Ye was poisoned by the corpse, even if he took the Xuan Medicine, with his cultivation in the Imperial Qi Realm, he should be seriously injured and not be able to escape far, if he is still alive at the moment, he should be around here, at least the direction of escape must be to escape in a almost straight line outside the tomb palace, and will not go around the bend.
But Ye Yi searched hard for nearly three hundred zhang in this direction, but still did not find Ye's father, and even, in all the houses, he did not find any traces of a living person hiding.
The direction is obviously wrong, or maybe Father Ye has already suffered misfortune.
Thinking of the few dried blood stains he saw before, Ye Yi's heart was extremely heavy, and at the same time, he regretted a little, he knew that he shouldn't have left the little idiot at home, that stupid rabbit's nose is very smart, and it may be used to track the traces of his father-in-law here.
Standing in place for a while, in distress, Ye Yi looked at the towering nine-story king tower, and suddenly remembered Liang Buer's words before, according to Liang Buji's speculation, the ninth layer of the nine-story king tower is very likely to hide a way to live.
According to Mrs. Zhou, Father Ye not only knows part of the feng shui astrology, but also is the same teacher as Liang Buji's ancestor.
Since Liang Buji can use Feng Shui to deduce that the ninth-floor Wang Pagoda may be a way to live, could his stepfather also make a similar judgment?
In the case of being seriously injured and alone, fighting in the nine-story royal tower may be the only choice for the father-in-law.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, Ye Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally decided to go to the Nine-Story King Tower.
The situation in this central tomb palace is really weird, a large number of yin corpses are actually patrolling and guarding like soldiers, Ye Yi is very suspicious in his heart, there should be a small corpse king in this tomb palace, or even a real corpse king level Yin corpse, and most of them are sleeping on the top floor of the nine-story king tower, either the king who is known as the invincible grandmaster realm, or the royal princess of the Xuanwu Empire.
Of course, maybe both husband and wife have changed their bodies!
Saying that she was not afraid was false, but Xi Xi was asleep, sleeping soundly, Ye Yi had just tried to let Xiao Xixi call her, but she couldn't wake up Xi Xi by shouting through her throat.
Later, he thought about taking advantage of Xi Xixi's absence, and let Xiao Xixi borrow the "little black house" for him, he had seen Xi Xi use the small black house before, it was extremely powerful, although that thing looked strange, but at least it was at the artifact level, if he could master it in his hands and touch the little corpse king, maybe he would have the power to protect himself.
It's a pity that she didn't borrow it, because Xiao Xixi said that her sister swallowed the little black house before she fell asleep, Ye Yi could only smile when she heard it, and she was very suspicious in her heart, Xi Xi wanted to do this thing, just to prevent him from thinking about the small black house of her Danyan family.
As for Xiao Xixi, her strength is not strong, and it is useless to call it out, besides, she is still a child, and those yin corpses look so terrifying, maybe they will frighten her.
There was no way, Ye Yi could only take a super fried pill as a talisman and sneak in the direction of the nine-story king tower alone.
The nine-story king tower was not guarded by corpse soldiers, Ye Yi easily sneaked in, the first floor was empty, there was nothing, everything was moved by the Zhou family.
In this way, he looked up layer by layer, extremely careful along the way, because the construction of this nine-story royal tower seemed to be somewhat special, and his spiritual eye could not see through it, and he could only see a vague piece.
In this way, Ye Yi went all the way to the eighth floor and saw the destroyed teleportation altar, but other than that, he didn't see anyone.
However, there were some dried blood stains on the ground, and there were still a lot of bones and slag in front of the door that was opened, which is probably what Liang Buji said, the unlucky Soul Gathering Realm Xuan Xiu who was directly beaten into powder by a pillar of energy light after opening the door.
This royal tower is weird, the ninth-layer royal tower above his head is even more weird, there is a powerful aura shrouded in it, Ye Yi's spiritual eye can't see through it at all, and he can't be sure if Father Ye is in the ninth percent, he hesitated, should he try to break in? Or leave to go somewhere else to continue the search first?
Suddenly, a faint footprint caught his attention, one-tenth of a footprint, to be exact.
Just behind the open death door to the ninth floor, below the wall, most of the footprints disappeared into the wall, and only a small heel print remained, as if it had been cut off by the wall.
This is a new footprint, because the footprints are carrying the ashes of the corpse, and they belong to the previous Wu family's Soul Gathering Realm Xuan Cultivator who was pushed open and blasted into powder.
These footprints indicate that someone entered the ninth floor after the incident.
Although those little footprints could not prove the identity of the person who entered, Ye Yi's intuition told him that the person who had entered the ninth layer was his father-in-law, Ye Nantian.
The ninth layer of this tower is protected by a separate Xuan Array, and if you call it on the eighth layer, you will definitely not be able to call the people of the ninth layer, and the defense power of this Xuan Array is indeed very strong, it is estimated that it is a small Xuan Array of the seventh order, if you want to break it, you need at least the strength of the Grandmaster Realm.
This kind of defensive strength, even if this Wang Tower's special mechanism can cover up the energy fluctuations in the tower, so that Ye Yi does not have to taboo the Yin corpses patrolling the outside world, and exert all his strength to attack, it is impossible for him to break through this powerful Xuan Array Wall.
