In the palace of the Great Tang Dynasty......

There is a saying among the peasants that when the light is approaching, the whole world is the darkest time. There is less than a stick of incense before dawn. But now the darkness of the whole heaven and earth is better than any other time.

The place where the Shang Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty lived, but it was still lit with lights, which was incompatible with the entire heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a figure cut through the darkness and descended outside the Shang Emperor's bedroom. With the help of the indoor light, the face of the figure gradually became clear, this was Zhong Kui who was defeated by Ye Tian. Nansai City is far from the capital, and it takes ordinary people two to three days to reach it. Although Zhong Kui is a prefecture-level strength and can fly, it is also whimsical to want to reach the capital so quickly.

It seems that in the battle with Ye Tian, Zhong Kui's injury has not yet recovered, and he is tiptoeing and limping when he walks. Before coming to the door, Zhong Kui just wanted to knock on the door, only to hear a majestic voice suddenly come from inside the house, "Come in!"

With permission, Zhong Kui slowly pushed the door open and walked in lightly. Entered the room and closed the door casually. As soon as he entered the house, Zhong Kui took a few steps forward, and then quickly knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

In a moment, the Shang Emperor in the bedroom stepped out of bed, still wearing pajamas. Seeing Zhong Kui come back, Emperor Shang seemed a little displeased, snorted coldly, and said indifferently, "I used my teleportation charm to come back." It looks like you've run into trouble with this mission. ”

Zhong Kui still bowed his head and knelt on the ground, "Please ask the Shang Emperor to forgive him." The subordinates did not do well, they couldn't help but fail to complete the task, and more than a dozen of their subordinates were buried. ”

"Hmph. Don't tell the emperor everything that happened!" Emperor Shang was visibly angry, and his face was covered with frost.

"Originally, our mission has been completed, so we will wait for you to secretly send the child to my emperor in the morning. But a mysterious teenager suddenly appeared in a few bowls, disrupting all the plans. The opponent's exercises are very weird, the strength is strong, and the subordinates are not opponents at all. Zhong Kui only mentioned a mysterious young man, but did not inform Emperor Shang of Ye Tian's life. Between Ye Tian and Emperor Shang, Zhong Kui chose Ye Tian. Despite that battle, he himself lost. But Zhong Kui has learned a lot. But in the face of the Shang Emperor, Zhong Kui couldn't boast too much about Ye Tian, once he was discovered by the Shang Emperor, then the entire Zhong family might be destroyed because of his own affairs.

After listening to Zhong Kui's report, Emperor Shang couldn't help frowning, guessing who the mysterious young man was, "Do you know what that young man is called, and what does he look like?"

"The sinner deserves to die, the other party is wearing a veil, and his appearance is not visible at all. The other party did not even mention his name. ”

"Haha. Zhong Kui's voice fell, and Emperor Shang suddenly burst out laughing. Suddenly, Emperor Shang stretched out his right hand, and Zhong Kui floated up from the ground. Then it flew into the hands of the Shang Emperor in an instant. Emperor Shang grabbed the corner of Zhong Kui's clothes and said with an evil smile, "You dare to deceive the emperor." With a veil, you can know that you are a teenager, and you are still amazing. ”

Emperor Shang was very angry, his voice fell, and he threw Zhong Kui out of his hand. Zhong Kui slammed into the wall. But Zhong Kui still gritted his teeth, got up tremblingly, and then still knelt on the ground.

Emperor Shang glanced at Zhong Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "You failed in your mission, and you feel deceived by this emperor." These make you die a hundred times, ten thousand times is not enough. It's not enough to remember the hard work you have made for the emperor in the past few years, so I will spare your life. Tomorrow you go to the military aircraft to get the letter, and then go to the western frontier of the dynasty. Once there, let the Three Princes arrange for you to take a small soldier position. Let the emperor guard the territory well. Step aside. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing. The sinner retired. Without a change in his expression, Zhong Kui got up from the ground, hunched over, and left the Shang Emperor's bedroom.

Seeing Zhong Kui leaving, Emperor Shang couldn't help but spit out a stream of blood, and then hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground. Under the light, Emperor Shang's face was very gloomy.

Walking out of the house, dawn finally came, and a ray of light shone through the night. The pillar of light gradually expanded step by step, and finally the whole heaven and earth became bright. Standing in the light of dawn, Zhong Kui slowly lifted up, looking up at the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. How easy that smile was. Guarding the borders of the dynasty can be regarded as a kind of punishment, a kind of liberation in life......

"I'm finally back!" The spacious road of Baifang City, Ye Tian and Cui'er stood in the middle. Although this is not his hometown of Yongzhou City, White still left Ye Tian with many different memories. Once upon a time, I also left unforgettable footprints in this place.

It's been more than a week since the children were rescued. During this period of time, Ye Tian has been in that village and has not left. Mainly because his strength is promoted a little fast, and it is not stable at all. After spending a little time and stabilizing the improved strength, the Yin and Yang Qi of the Five Elements in Ye Tian's body became more and more intense. If he encounters an opponent like Zhong Kui now, Ye Tian is confident that he will solve it with one blow. And relying on this period of time, Ye Tianjiang's injuries were almost the same. As for those children, Han Yu who had promised them to send them home safely.

Feeling that his body and strength were about the same, and the time was a bit wasted, Ye Tian said goodbye to the Rose Mercenary Group and rushed back to the Ye family in Yongzhou with Cui'er. On the way, I was passing through the city of White, so I stopped to see how White, who had not been here for so long, was doing. You can also visit Huabei and Maomao.

As the last time I saw it, White City is sparsely populated. It's daytime, and there's still no one on White Square, not even the stalls. This couldn't help but make Ye Tian think that this time it wouldn't be like the two forces of the Bai family and the Fang family before, and there would be other forces at war. White City is really capable of making trouble.

At this moment, a man hurriedly ran over from in front of Ye Tian. Ye Tian's figure flickered, and he immediately stood in front of the man, and asked politely, "May I ask Brother Tai, I don't know what happened in Baifang City." Why is it so quiet?"

Ye Tian's sudden appearance was really startled. Fortunately, the young man in front of him just asked about things, and his heart was relaxed, "I see that you are a foreigner." Don't you know what day it is?"

This Ye Tian really didn't know what day it was, seeing the man's expression so exaggerated, Ye Tian's curiosity became even greater, and he hurriedly responded, "I am indeed a foreigner." I also ask my brother for some advice. ”

The man cleared his throat, pretended to be a ghost, and continued with a pompous expression, "Today, it's the alchemy competition between the city lord of Baifang City and the eldest lady of the Ye family of Yongzhou City. Hey, I won't tell you, I have to hurry up and go to the City Lord's Mansion to see their wonderful alchemy competition. The man couldn't wait, pushed Ye Tian in front of him away, and quickly ran towards the City Lord's Mansion of White Fang City.

The city lord of Baifang City that Ye Tian knew before had already died, but he didn't expect that the new city lord sent by the dynasty this time would actually be able to refine the pill. However, what made Ye Tian most curious and puzzled was who was the eldest lady of the Ye family in Yongzhou? According to the status of her father, the eldest lady of the Ye family could only be Ye Zilian. But Ye Zilian is not in the Sword Sect now, and she doesn't know any alchemy at all. But if you distinguish by age, your sister can be the eldest lady of the Ye family. But Ye Tian couldn't believe that his sister could do alchemy. Not to mention alchemy, Ye Zixuan can't even cultivate. Thinking about it this way, this eldest lady of the Ye family made Ye Tian very curious.

Standing here and thinking, it is better to meet the true face of those eldest ladies of the Ye family in person. Obviously, Ye Tian was also a little impatient, took Cui'er's hand, and flew quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
