Chapter 59: The Secret of the Black Stone
The three of them looked at each other with ugly faces, and they all saw the unconcealable horror in each other's eyes, but before they could say anything, the coercion that had originally shrouded them suddenly dissipated, and there was no trace to follow.
Swish!
The three of them suddenly lightened, and once again regained control of themselves, although they were shocked in their hearts, their bodies flashed without any stopping, and the next moment they all swept over the house, wanting to find out what was going on.
As soon as he reached the roof, he saw the head of the Huo family flying in front of him, and not far behind him, Di Lianhai also came towards the Ye family's imperial sword with a solemn face, followed by a middle-aged beautiful woman.
After several people gathered, they were silent, the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying, and after a while, no one else appeared, and only then did their faces ease slightly.
"Okay, several, this is not a place to talk, follow me down to the hall to talk in detail!" Ye Jingtian's face sank like water, and he said in a calm voice, and after speaking, he took the lead and flew down.
Seeing this, several people also glanced at each other, and their minds were slightly settled, and then they went to the hall together.
"What's the matter, I was training that junior in the mansion before, and suddenly I felt a suffocating coercion, which almost made me ugly in front of that group of rabbit cubs. Di Lianhai looked around and spoke first.
"We don't know the specific situation, I was chatting with Brother Huo in the hall before, the shroud of terrifying coercion just dissipated in an instant, and there was no trace of it at all, the Huo family master is well-informed, but what is the clue?" Ye Jingtian also shook his head in confusion, and finally turned to Huo Zong next to him.
"When I came out before, I also took a general look, and found that the people under the Battle Void Rank didn't have any sense at all, so I thought that first, there were powerful people in this town who were cultivating the Heaven-Defying Exercises, and there was a trace of their own coercion leaked when the exercises were first completed, and secondly, there might be powerful people passing by in this place and leaking breath. Huo Zong pondered for a moment before giving what he thought was the most likely reason.
"Well, I also feel that this is probably the case, but when the world-destroying coercion was shrouded before, it actually made me subconsciously feel that I would fall here, and now I think about it, it is really terrifying, I really don't know what kind of cultivator can exude this kind of coercion. Ye Jingtian finally whispered with a shocked face.
Although the other people didn't speak, the residual look of horror on each other's faces also revealed a little bit of what they were thinking.
After easing down a little, Di Lianhai said to Ye Nantian: "Poor and sour, how can this Huo Lao Er stay in your house, is the relationship between the two of you good to this extent?"
"Brother Di laughed, Second Master Huo came to my Ye family just to discuss some trivial matters, it's not a big deal. Ye Nantian chuckled, and then explained.
Just under the conversation of several people, a figure walked in from the outside, and as soon as he came in, he found that the heads of several major families in the town were in the hall, and he was also stunned for a moment, but then he put a gentle smile on his face, and said respectfully: "I didn't expect several uncles and uncles to be here, is it not the right time for the little nephew to come?"
The person who came was Ye Chen, at this moment he was dressed in a blue shirt, well-cut, and with his already delicate face, he also looked talented.
"Hehe, this is the youngest son of the Nantian family, right? It is indeed a talent, no wonder Xiao Qian wants to run out all day long!" The middle-aged beauty beside Di Lianhai looked at Ye Chen for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle twice, and said with a gentle face.
Mrs. Cheng praised it falsely, and Xiao'er's face can only be said to be ordinary. Ye Nantian shook his head slowly, said softly, and saw that his son's face was full of doubts, and couldn't help but scold: "This is Miss Xiaoqian's mother, the wife of the head of the Di family, don't say hello yet, what are you stunned!"
"Ahh
After greeting him, seeing that a few people were still staring at him, Ye Chen was also a little furious in his heart, and then took out the things in his arms, handed them to Huo Yan, and said, "This is what was agreed upon yesterday, and today the little nephew can be regarded as an agreement." ”
After Huo Yan got his hand, he turned around and exchanged a look with his brother, then turned back and said to Ye Chen with a smile: "Okay, the virtuous nephew really kept the agreement, I don't know if the virtuous nephew felt anything strange in the room?"
"I don't know, I've been meditating in the room, and when I heard someone call me and say that Uncle Huo had come, he brought something over. Ye Chen's face was full of confusion, and he raised his hand and scratched his head and asked.
"Now that the fourth transaction has been completed, my two brothers will not bother more in your mansion, everyone is at their own convenience, and he will talk together again in the future. Seeing that Ye Chen's answer didn't look like a lie, Ye didn't wait for Huo Yan to speak, Huo Zong directly said goodbye, and after speaking, he hugged hands and bowed to several people, and then took Huo Yan and flew away directly with the sword.
"This old horseman, just leave, hey poor and sour, what kind of deal did you make?" Di Lianhai saw that he was leaving in such a hurry, and he was also interested, and then asked Ye Nantian.
"Hehe, it's actually nothing, it's just a two-benefit deal. Ye Nantian smiled slightly, but did not explain anything specifically.
"Hey, God is mysterious, since it's okay, the two of us won't stay, go back, let's go. The corners of his mouth twitched, Di Lianhai said indifferently, just hugged his hands and said goodbye, and took the lead to walk out.
When Mrs. Cheng walked past Ye Chen, she turned her head again, with a slight smile on her face, and said to Ye Chen: "If it's okay, you can go to my Di house for a visit, Xiao Qian's girl doesn't have the heart to cultivate at home!" ”
Ye Chen's face was feverish, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to nod his head again and again.
After seeing the two of them go out, Ye Jingtian casually asked Ye Chen something, and finally said: "Okay, if Chen'er has nothing else to do, go back, I still have some things to discuss with your father." ”
Ye Chen nodded after hearing this, respectfully hugged his hands and retreated, and only after going out did his face show a trace of strangeness, but he didn't say anything, and turned around and returned to his room directly
Cloud Iron City, the city lord's mansion.
A rather tall figure, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, but with a profound sense of vicissitudes on his face that is completely different from that extravagant life, stood in front of the window on the top floor of the city lord's mansion, his eyes looked into the distance, and only after a long time did he turn around and ask another person in the room: "What is Master Li's opinion on the previous breath?"
The Li Shi in this person's mouth is a white-haired man who looks like half a hundred, although he has gray hair, he is energetic and does not have a trace of fatigue, and his eyes burst out with a little terrifying light from time to time.
Hearing this person's question, Master Li couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a long time, and finally said with a hesitant face: "To be honest, it's the first time I've felt such a terrifying aura after living for so long, even if I compare you with you now, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are mayflies and big leaves, but it doesn't give me the feeling that it is the kind of oppression that a person gives me, but rather like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour." ”
When the previous person heard Master Li answer like this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window again, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, his expression was silent, and said: "That breath is fleeting, unpredictable, according to my current cultivation, I can't catch a trace of breath, I hope it's just a strong man passing by my city, that kind of cultivation is too terrifying."
In the largest auction in the Cloud Iron City, there were also several figures, gathered together with solemn faces to discuss the source of the previous breath, but there was still no clue, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that all the forces had given a death order, and it was strictly forbidden to leak a trace of the breath.
And in a splendid palace millions of miles away from Luoyang Town, a slender figure dressed in a blue shirt, with his eyes closed, raised a glass and drank alone on the main hall, as if he would never leave the palace, whenever he was here or drinking with others, or drinking alone, very happy.
And for a while, the palm of his hand that was holding the glass shook slightly, and then his eyelids seemed to fluctuate, and he slowly opened them, and then he put down the wine glass and sensed it carefully, but he frowned slightly and said "Illusion?" and then compared his eyes again, falling into a state of divine concentration
Ye Chen returned to his room, and the next moment he immediately locked the door and closed the window, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he sat down at the table and took out something from his arms with a solemn face.
If you look closely, it is Ye Chen's black stone, but at this moment, it is not like his original one, I can see that this black stone is covered with blood-red lines, if you look closely, you can even see that the blood-red lines on this black stone are flowing slowly, like a living thing.
Ye Chen didn't know what had happened to this black stone, all he remembered was the moment when he began to cultivate the Fire Spirit Determination and woke up, he glanced at a blood-stained shirt at his feet, and his heart was terrified.
Although he didn't know what happened in this day, the moment he woke up, he saw that there was not much qi and blood left in his body, and the whole person was full of a state of death, but then he felt an indescribable terrifying power, which burst out in his chest, and in an instant his eyes were blood-red and he was about to lose his consciousness again, and at this moment, his storage bag flew out on its own, and the black stone that he had bought on the top of the market came out of it by itself!
And the black stone directly shrouded his chest under his suspicious gaze, and at the same time emitted a pitch-black devouring power, it was this devouring power that instantly swallowed all the power that was supposed to erase his consciousness, and finally formed this blood-red pattern on the entire black stone.
But when he looked at the expressions on the faces of those elders before, although it was extremely ugly, he didn't have too many doubts, and he made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely not publicize the matter of this black stone, which would inevitably lead to a bloody disaster.
"I don't know what you are, it's so weird, but if you hadn't saved my life earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where I am. Ye Chen muttered to the black stone in his hand.
"It's a pity, the moment I woke up, I obviously felt my spiritual power surging, surging and boundless, and I was swallowed up by this black stone one by one, and I don't understand the reason for this encounter, but it seems that the fire spirit still can't be cultivated, so as not to fall into a situation that is difficult to end. Ye Chen smacked his lips and said regretfully.
Also, there is obviously a glimmer of hope for recovering spiritual power, but it comes with unforeseen dangers, he is a person of flesh and blood, after all, he does not dare to gamble with the future safety of his family, and now he can only give up cultivating the fire spirit for the time being.
"But this time it can't be said that there is no gain, hehe!" At the end of the words, Ye Chen smiled, and slowly stretched out his left hand, spreading it in front of him.
