Ten miles outside King Mu City, on top of a mountain peak, Ye Qingtian was carrying his hands behind his back, and behind him was the old man from before, with excitement on his face at this time.

"Subordinate Zhang Cheng, see Sect Master. ”

The old man faced Ye Qingtian, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Don't be polite, tell me everything that happened in the sect during my absence. ”

Ye Qingtian turned his back to Zhang Cheng, his voice was low, and he didn't reveal much emotion.

"Yes. Zhang Cheng replied, and then began to tell Ye Qingtian everything that had happened in Qingtian Sect during this time.

Half an hour later, Ye Qingtian sorted out a series of things that had happened during this time.

At the beginning, after he fell into the Douxing River, Qianhe and the others did not suffer any danger, and they all returned to the sect safely.

After that, he led people to salvage in the Douxing River for a month, but his body was still not found after all.

However, just after Qianhe and the others returned to the sect with people, something happened.

Long Lao and Nangong Linglong disappeared mysteriously, and the Council of Elders elected the Great Elder Lei Heng to sit in the position of the sect master on the grounds that Ye Qingtian was dead, and Qianhe and the Eight Heavenly Protectors such as the Purple Clothes and Green Shirts did not agree, but they were strongly suppressed.

A big battle lasted for three days in the Qingtian Sect, but in the end, only Ziyi Qingyi survived the Eight Heavenly Protectors, Qingyi was captured, and Qianhe and Ziyi fled without any trace.

After the Elders took control of the Qingtian Sect, they began to continuously clean up the forces that Ye Qingtian had laid out in various places, except for the area around the Arctic State, and all the remaining Qingtian Sect strongholds that supported him were uprooted one by one.

The Drunken Country Tavern is one of them, and Zhang Cheng is the helmsman of the stronghold of Mu Wangcheng, when the stronghold was attacked again, he was drunk and did not return to the stronghold, so he was lucky to escape.

And Zhang Cheng has always turned into a beggar, guarding next to the drunken village tavern, because Mu Wangcheng is very close to the Douxing River, he has been looking for Ye Qingtian's whereabouts on the river bank for a lot of time, and he is also constantly inquiring about the movements of the Qingtian Sect after being mastered by the Elders.

"Miss Chiha was very seriously injured at the beginning, and now she hasn't been seen for almost a year. ”

Zhang Cheng whispered behind Ye Qingtian, clenching his fists tightly, looking extremely angry.

"One year!"

Ye Qingtian was slightly surprised in his heart, he had only been on Monster Island for nearly four months, and four months ago, Qianhe was still with him.

In this way, the time on Monster Island is not equal to the outside world, and the time inside is obviously much faster than the outside world.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qingtian was relieved, after all, Monster Island is not a product of the Four Extremes Dao Earth, it is normal for there to be a time difference, and the laws of the two worlds are fundamentally different.

"I've worked hard for you this time, go back and reopen the drunken country tavern. ”

Ye Qingtian revealed a murderous aura on his body, and after speaking, he took out a bunch of spirit stones from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Zhang Cheng.

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng took the spirit stone, and didn't ask Ye Qingtian why he did this, feeling the murderous aura on Ye Qingtian's body, which made him tremble for a while, he knew that the current Ye Qingtian was extremely angry in his heart, but he just endured it and didn't vent it.

Miss Qianhe, the two heavenly protectors in purple clothes and green shirts, have an extremely good relationship with Ye Qingtian, this is something that the entire Qingtian Sect knows, now that one has been arrested, and the whereabouts of the two seriously injured are unknown, how can it not make Ye Qingtian feel angry.

"Take this jar of pot-and-drink too. As he spoke, Ye Qingtian handed the jar of wine that Zhang Cheng had shown him before.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Zhang Cheng took the Hundred Flowers Brew, and then retreated.

After Zhang Cheng left, Ye Qingtian's deep eyes spewed out fierce light, his fists were clenched, and the murderous aura of his body was diffused in all directions.

"Presbyterian Church. Ye Qingtian let out a low roar, his eyes full of resentment.

After a long time, Ye Qingtian retracted his murderous aura, and the whole person returned to his previous appearance.

Facing the breeze, Ye Qingtian thought for a long time on the top of the mountain, there were too many doubts in this matter, which made him unable to understand it for a while.

The forces of the Council of Elders and Ye Qingtian in the Qingtian Sect were already evenly divided, and even with the support of Elder Long, Ye Qingtian's forces should be a little stronger.

But Long Lao is missing, you know, Long Lao is one of the few veteran-level figures in the Qingtian Sect, and his cultivation has already surpassed the True Martial Realm, and those old things of the Elder Council will definitely not be opponents.

But in the end, Chiho and they failed, and they suffered heavy losses, which was definitely not something that could be done by the power of the Council of Elders alone.

In this way, behind the Elders' Council, there are other people who intervene and secretly help the Elders' Council to seize the entire Qingtian Sect.

"Lei Heng!"

Ye Qingtian frowned and groaned, and after a moment, a sudden color flashed in his eyes.

"The One Empire. Ye Qingtian suddenly figured it out, the people who helped the Elders' Council behind their backs were nine times out of ten the people of the Taiyi Empire.

Great Elder Lei Heng may not have much to do with the Taiyi Empire, but one of his sworn brothers does.

Prince Lei of the Yuan Kingdom, this person was originally a disciple of the Qingtian Sect, and Ye Qingtian did not touch him before in order not to startle the snake.

Later, after Ye Qingtian collapsed the power of the four princes in the Yuan capital, the four princes took a large number of troops to join the Taiyi Empire.

Now, there should be no one else who can help the Elders deal with him except for this Prince Lei.

As for the disappearance of Long Lao and Qianhe, Ye Qingtian didn't have any clue now, after they escaped, the only place they could go to should be no man's land, but no one was too far away from here, and now he had no way to get in touch with them at all.

After figuring out a few things, the sky gradually darkened, and the cool breeze in the mountains became even colder.

Just as Ye Qingtian was about to leave here, he saw a sword light in the woods not far away, and then several screams came.

Ye Qingtian looked ahead, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then flew directly in that direction.

It was a valley, it was pitch black below, and before it had even landed, the smell of fresh blood came.

After landing, in front of Ye Qingtian, there was a row of corpses, which were also killed by a sword, but these people were all wearing Xuanming Dongtian costumes.

Call...

A cool breeze blew, chilling and biting, and Ye Qingtian felt a powerful killing force in the wind.

"Hmph..."Ye Qingtian snorted lightly, without any hesitation, the bronze ancient spear in his hand suddenly appeared, and then turned around in an instant and swept out.

Bang dang...

A crisp metal crash sounded, and the bronze spear and a dazzling sword light came into contact, and sparks flew everywhere, and the two power fluctuations cut off all the surrounding trees.

In front of Ye Qingtian, a man in black appeared, the reason why he said it was a man in black was because this person's whole body was pitch black, and even the little skin that was exposed was dark.

"You're not from the Four Great Caves?"

The man in black stared at Ye Qingtian vigilantly, and at the same time glanced at the bronze ancient spear with surprise, the impact just now shattered his tiger's mouth, and it was still bleeding at this time, and the long sword he used was also broken in response, which shows the extraordinary nature of the bronze ancient spear.

"Huh. Ye Qingtian chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't say that I was a member of the Four Great Caves. ”

"Since you're not from the Four Great Caves, what are you doing here. The man in black asked, seemingly extremely hostile to the people of the Four Great Caves.

Ye Qingtian raised a hand, touched his nose, and then said without being funny: "You are really funny, can't you come here if you are not a person from the Four Great Caves? ”

Ye Qingtian's words suddenly made the man in black unable to refute, and the eyes under the black cloth stared at Ye Qingtian fiercely.

"Hmph..."

The man in black snorted coldly, then turned and headed for the woods, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qingtian didn't chase after him, from the conversation just now, he could understand that this person should have a deep grudge against the four great cave heavens, and the corpse of the Yunshan cave heaven disciple he saw before, and the chief disciple of the four major cave heavens should have been killed by this person.

Killing with a sword, to be able to have such an ability, the strength of the man in black must not be weak, but just now Ye Qingtian did not feel the breath that a normal person should have from the other party's body, but with a strong smell of earth, more like a smell coming from the cemetery.

He lowered his head and glanced at the corpses of the Xuanming Cave Heaven disciples around him, and then came to a corpse with an upward face not far away.

Bending down, Ye Qingtian took out a piece of paper on the corpse's chest that only exposed half of the area.

Holding it in his hand, it was not only the smell of blood that rushed to his face, but also a smell of earth that did not dissipate, which was the same as the smell on the man in black before.

This is just a tattered piece of yellow paper, densely filled with many characters, looking at the handwriting and the texture of the yellow paper, it should have a history of thousands of years.

On the yellow paper is a practice, but it is already tattered, and there is only one page, so it is impossible to tell what kind of exercise is recorded.

Putting the paper into the Qiankun bag, Ye Qingtian didn't pay any attention to these corpses, and left here.

Not long after Ye Qingtian left, the man in black before returned to here, constantly rummaging through the bodies of these corpses around him.

It's just that he searched for a long time, but he didn't find what he wanted.

"Damn..."The man in black scolded secretly, looked up in the direction that Ye Qingtian left just now, and a pair of fists were clucked by him.

"Quick, just ahead, that's where the cry comes from. ”

At this time, there was a noise outside the woods, and a group of people were hurrying towards here with torches.

The man in black gritted his teeth, and then sank into the dense forest again.
