In the distance, I saw that half of the sky was burned red! Patches of hot heat were scattered everywhere carrying burning debris, and wherever those debris fell, a sea of fire was formed in an instant! The whole valley was shrouded in pitch-black smoke.

Bearing the scorching air currents and thick smoke, Yeyan rode the bald man into the canyon, and flew for about half an hour, and scorching magma appeared in his field of vision, like a burning torrent running rampant.

Following the flowing lava vines, Yeyan soon found the source of the fire, a deep canyon full of holes, and it was from the canyon that magma gushed out of the canyon's crypt.

"What's going on with these crypts?" Ye Yan was not in a hurry to make a decision, and harnessed the bald man to rush up to the sky and circle, observing condescendingly.

"Elder Night has just been assigned to the prison, and he doesn't know anything about the situation in Rift Valley. About three hundred years ago, the previous sect master had the intention to build a large alchemy room, and the address of the pill room was selected in this rift valley, in order to obtain the earth fire needed for alchemy, the previous sect master mobilized the disciples of his own sect to build a large number of buildings, and the rift valley was full of holes. As Elder Night had seen, the earth fire had been dug up, but alchemy was not enough to have the earth fire. The disciples of this sect's alchemy hall are all half-hangers, and they have not refined a decent pill after tossing around here for more than 20 years, but they have wasted a large number of materials, and in the end they have to end hastily. The sect no longer supplied medicinal materials, and the alchemy disciples sent back to the sect. However, Rift Valley could not be restored to its original appearance, and from time to time there would be eruptions of earth fire, which was very tricky to deal with. "Since this matter involves the previous sect master, Zhao Wu flickered when he spoke, to put it bluntly, the Rift Wind Valley is a mess left behind because the previous sect master was so happy! This mess is not small, the Rift Wind Valley is not far from the sect, if you ignore the erupting earth fire, it will inevitably affect the sect. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. After the Great Sect Master Lian took over the sect, he simply converted this place into a prison, and used the prisoners to deal with the eruption of the earth fire, which can be regarded as ingenious.

"It turns out that these crypts were used to obtain earth fire. Ye Yan had never cared about sectarian affairs, but the situation in Gale Canyon made his heart move, and his feelings were that this was a large alchemy room! A ready-made alchemy room, plus thousands of prisoners who could be driven for free, this prison was simply a cash cow!

It's no wonder that Ye Yan has started to use his crooked brain, in the past few years, he has been buying flying boats and killing black Jiao, and the cost is really not small! Coupled with the unrestrained acquisition of beast pills and ghosts, no matter how rich Rao is net worth, he can't resist such a squander. A bald man made him very distressed, and now with the addition of a red refining demon scorpion, even if he doesn't do anything, he just cultivates spirit pets, and consumes at least dozens of high-grade spirit stones every month, and it is not possible to use his brain.

Zhao Wuke didn't know what the main person was thinking, and he still introduced it in a serious way: "These crypts were dug out precisely to obtain the Earth Fire Alchemy, but now it has become the most difficult trouble, these crypts go straight to the depths of the earth, no matter what method is used to block them, it will not take long to be destroyed by the magma underground." You can only send a special person to maintain it regularly, and if you are not careful, it will cause an accident. ”

Ye Yan had no interest in the prison at all, just wanted to worry, and learned that this prison was actually a cash cow, and in a blink of an eye, he became serious, if he wanted to let the prison get the spirit stone for himself, he first had to hold the power of the prison in his hands, and he couldn't say that he had to move the old guy here. Ye Yan is not a suspicious person, but as long as he is not a fool, he can realize the strangeness of this fire. This fire didn't burn sooner or later, he just burned it when he was transferred to prison, and he had to consider a possible surname, this fire was not a natural disaster, but [***]!

Ye Yan was not in a hurry to deal with the fire, and asked Zhao Wu unhurriedly, "Did Rift Wind Valley often burn fires before?"

Zhao Wu shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, the current sect master built the prison in the Rift Valley, precisely so that there are enough manpower to monitor those cave openings connected to the earth fire, and there will be enough manpower to deal with it when the magma gushes out." Although there are occasional magma gushing out of the crypt in the deep valley, as long as it is dealt with in time, it will never get out of control, and it is the first time that his subordinates have been in prison for thirty years and have seen a fire of this scale. It's not too late to mention it later, Elder Night should make a decision as soon as possible, this kind of fire, the sect will definitely send someone over. ”

Ye Yan was even more convinced that this fire was [***], and that the arsonist must be a law enforcement disciple on duty in the prison, and only the law enforcement disciple who was in charge of the prison had a conflict with him, because his arrival shook the power of those people and blocked their future. Besides, the prison is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for people from the outside world to sneak in and set fires. It is not difficult to speculate on the reason why these people set the fire, although Ye Yan did not patronize the prison for a long time, in fact, he has taken over the management of the prison, and the prison is on fire, and he will definitely be punished as the supervisor, so that those people can pull out his nail.

It's just that Ye Yan is not easy to deal with, touching his chin and asking Zhao Wu, "If I am not sent to the prison, who do you think is most likely to become the director of the prison." ”

"We all thought at first that the Iron Elder would be promoted to the head of the prison. Zhao Wu has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and blurted out when he didn't think about it, the prison is no better than other places, just send someone to have fun, there is no ten or eight years of time to even step on the ground, and the lack of qualifications can't deter the prisoners. Prison supervisors have always been promoted step by step from the bottom, and everyone has a score in their hearts about who has the highest qualifications, who has the highest level of cultivation, and who should be promoted.

Ye Yan secretly analyzed that the person who set the fire was the one who set the fire to this Iron Elder.

"This is all on fire, Elder Night should organize people to put out the fire as soon as possible, and also, do you want to notify the battle hall to help? Do the prisoners need to evacuate first? Please also ask Elder Night to make it clear. Since Zhao Wu was transferred to the prison to handle an errand, it was the first time he saw this kind of big event, he invited the prison supervisor in a hurry, but the prison supervisor ignored the fire, but asked some innocuous topics, he had to doubt the prison supervisor's ability to do things, Ye Yan still said unhurriedly: "It's not effective to be in a hurry, everything must be understood before you start!"

"Does Elder Night understand now?" Zhao Wu urged anxiously.

"It's almost clear, we're going to prison now. "Ye Yan has always planned and then acted, let's just talk about this firefighting, it is obvious that the people in the prison deliberately set fire in order to pull out his nail, and he organized people to fight the fire with a bird? Even if those people dare not openly disobey his orders, they can also disobey the yang and the yin.

In the prison, the law enforcement disciples led by Elder Tie were indifferent to the fire.

This fire was exactly what Elder Tie did, with his cultivation and qualifications, he was a sure prison supervisor, and out of thin air a hairy boy dove occupied the magpie's nest, he was naturally ten thousand unwilling. However, he also knew very well that this hairy boy was assigned to the prison as a supervisor, and he must have a backstage, so he didn't make any trouble, and he didn't want to squeeze this person away, so he came up with this plan after thinking about it. That kid has just arrived, and he can't figure out the situation of the prison at all, once this fire is burned, the sect will inevitably hold the prison supervisor accountable, even if this kid is hard in the background, he can only get out!

"Elder Tie, this fire is getting bigger and bigger, if we really burn down the prison, that kid will be unlucky, and we will also be punished. A cronie saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was gradually losing control, and he couldn't help but panic.

Elder Tie's ghostly eyes flashed, "What are you afraid of? This fire burns more violently, it is best to alarm the sect, and the sect will send someone to deal with it at that time." ”

"The subordinates are worried that things will be too big to end. The cronie whispered.

"Don't worry, even if the sect doesn't send someone here, this seat has a way to clean up the mess. "Elder Tie's words are not only for that crony, but also for all law enforcement disciples, in addition to the cultivation and qualifications are the highest in the prison, his prestige in the prison is also the highest, all of which is the capital of his promotion to the director. As a law enforcement elder, if he can't become a department head, then it's not a fart! For the sake of the real shortage of prison directors, he is willing to take a risk.

As long as Elder Tie is sure, the brethren are relieved. A law enforcement disciple smiled flatteringly.

"The sect can send someone over at any time, don't talk nonsense. Elder Tie glared fiercely at the law enforcement disciple.

In a moment, Ye Yan flew to the prison with a bald man.

"This is the trusted prison master, Elder Night. Zhao Wu took the initiative to introduce Ye Yan.

Elder Tie glanced at Ye Yan with just the corner of his eye, and then moved his gaze, and the law enforcement disciples present also ignored Ye Yan, the newly appointed prison supervisor, and seemed to be deliberately taking a stand.

Ye Yan didn't care about this cold reception, and asked seriously: "The fire is so fierce that it may affect the prison at any time, why don't you go to put out the fire?"

Elder Tie is deliberately setting the fire, where will he put out the fire, now he only waits for the sect to send someone to come, when he and the other law enforcement disciples in the prison can put all the responsibility on Ye Yan, in front of the law enforcement disciples, he said lukewarmly: "Elder Night, as the head of the prison, has ignored the affairs of the prison for several months, and now that the prison is on fire, Elder Night is late, is it still useful for me to wait for the fire to fight the fire?"

Ye Yan said with a smile, "Of course it works, if the master doesn't order you to put out the fire, then the master is derelict in his duties." The master ordered you to put out the fire, but you didn't save it, this is your disobedience to the order, and it is not the master's business to burn the prison. ”

Elder Tie said with a smile: "Elder Night wants to reverse black and white with the head of the prison?

While admiring the fire in the distance, Ye Yan said, "What is there to explain to the master, just hand you over to the sect." ”

"The old man is just an elder in the prison, and he is soft-spoken. The fire in the prison is obviously the crime of lax supervision by the supervisor, what does it have to do with the old man?"

Ye Yan looked harmless to humans and animals, and analyzed with a smile, "Who said that the master is not strict in supervision? The master has investigated clearly, this fire is not a natural disaster, but [***], and the person who set the fire is you, Elder Tie! The master also stopped you from putting out the fire, because you disobeyed the order and disrespected! Elder Tie said, what responsibility can the sect hold for holding the master? I'm afraid it will only praise the master's merits? Even if the sect wants to punish the arsonist, it will punish the arsonist, and it can't punish the head of the master. ”

Elder Tie forced himself to calm down and reprimanded: "Elder Night Hugh wants to spew blood, what evidence do you have to accuse the old man of arson, the law enforcement disciples of the prison can testify for the old man and prove the old man's innocence." ”

"What if the young master can't explain to Elder Tie? Elder Tie can't explain to the young master, so save your effort and explain to Elder Zhantian. "Ye Yan wants to control the prison situation and take down Elder Tie first, if this Elder Tie acts cautiously and steadily envelops other law enforcement disciples against him, he is really helpless for a while. After all, Elder Tie had been operating in the prison for a long time, and it was deeply rooted, and it was more difficult to overthrow this person than to ascend to the sky. But Elder Tie was clever to himself, and he easily grabbed the handle, and Ye Yan seized the opportunity and didn't beat the water dogs.

Elder Tie thought that Ye Yan's eyes were black when he first came, and he couldn't guess the clues at all, but he didn't expect Ye Yan to have such a scheming at a young age, and he guessed the secret as soon as he came up, although Ye Yan had no substantial evidence, but when he went to the law enforcement hall to use soul searching, he couldn't hide any secrets! In addition to arson, what Elder Tie has done in the prison over the years is by no means clean, if he is punished according to the rules of the sect, it is more than enough to die ten times or eight times!

Rather than obediently waiting for death, it is better to fight, maybe there is a glimmer of life! Elder Tie would not be naïve to think that killing Ye Yan would be able to get away with it without knowing it. At most, he had this evil breath, and he fled before the people from the sect arrived, and he died from then on. However, as long as this step is taken, there will be no turning back, and all these years of hard work will be in vain, and his status will plummet, from a high-ranking law enforcement elder to an outlaw. Born from the heart, Elder Tie's face was cloudy.

Ye Yan took in all his eagerness to try, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Elder Tie jumped over the wall in a hurry and had evil thoughts about the young master?"

Elder Tie was by no means an indecisive person, and in the blink of an eye, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "The ants are still stealing their lives, and when they reach the end of the road, it is impossible for this seat to be restrained. ”

Ye Yan pouted and said: "Do you still have the capital to fight for your life now? The so-called tree is falling and scattered, and the law enforcement disciples of the prison followed you just now, that is because I believe that you can pull out the master, and now that you are cornered, who is willing to accompany you to play with your life? The master doesn't have to do it himself at all, as long as he gives an order, they will rush up and arrest you." ”

Elder Tie's response in the prison was not obtained by tricks, and his domineering cultivation was the foundation of his life, and he said proudly at the moment, "How can the old man not understand the truth that the tree is falling and Sun San, but if the Night Elder wants to use these people to block the old man, it is also a fool's dream." ”

Today's Yeyan, cleaning up a law enforcement elder in his infancy is like pinching a bed bug to death. It's just that he is now also an elder of the Jindan period and the head of the prison, so he will not play with people at every turn, and he persuaded in a serious tone, "Even if Elder Tie kills the little master, what can he do? Elder Night can get rid of the endless pursuit of the sect? Elder Night can get the status that he is saying today, and he must have made great contributions to the sect, is he willing to betray the sect?"

Elder Tie was so angry that he raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You kid don't talk about cool things, the old man still has a way to live?" For the sake of now, the old man is enough to kill one, and kill two to earn one!"

............ Ye Yan secretly scolded himself, he was really pushing the old guy into a hurry, he didn't want to really do anything to the old guy, he just scared and scared the old guy, "Why should Elder Tie be excited? Everyone is a person with status, what can be discussed, don't be a bachelor at every turn, the matter is not enough." ”

Elder Tie said angrily, "At this point, the old man doesn't bother to hide it, this fire was put by the old man! Now that the matter has been revealed, where does the old man still have a way to live? All this is thanks to you!"

Ye Yan said unhurriedly, "If you don't say this matter, if I don't say it, how can the sect know?"

............ Elder Tie was already ready for a bloody battle, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this time.

"Can Elder Tie take a step to speak? In the past, he was just an obscure low-level monk, and he didn't need to worry about anything, but now he is an elder in the Jindan period, holding real power in the prison steward, and he can't help but think about it, and he must focus on the overall situation in everything, and he won't play tricks with people at every turn.

Now Yeyan has to think about the harmony and stability of the prison, and at the same time, he has to hold the control of the prison in his own hands, so that this abandoned alchemy room and thousands of prisoners can get spirit stones for him, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy managing this prison.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yeyan decided that there would be no benefit at all from getting rid of Elder Ye. He was still unconvinced, and there were others who were against him. Instead of facing a new opponent, it is better to leave Elder Tie behind, now that he has grasped Elder Tie's weakness, he can control this person with a little brain, as long as he controls Elder Tie, he will control the prison.

Coming to a remote place, Elder Tie couldn't hold his breath at first, and asked anxiously, "I don't know what Elder Night meant?"

Ye Yan rolled her eyes and said, "What the master said is not clear enough, the master will not reveal the arson, those law enforcement disciples who know about it are all your cronies, and they are more or less involved in the arson, and they will not leak the news." Therefore, it is impossible for the sect to know about this matter. ”

Elder Tie couldn't believe his ears: "The old man set fire to you to deal with you, don't you want to take revenge on the old man? As long as you report the old man's arson to the sect, the old man will definitely die." ”

Ye Yan smiled and said, "Elder Tie is too modest, which of the prisoners in this prison is not innocent of death? None of them are dead, do you know why?"

Elder Tie has been working in prison for many years, so he naturally understands the style of the sect, and when the sect sentences a disciple, it is not based on the crimes committed by the disciple, but on the value of the disciple. If a disciple is mediocre in talent, even if he commits a small thing, he can be executed. On the contrary, if a disciple is very talented and does not betray the sect, even if the crime is very serious, he will generally be imprisoned. Elder Tie said quietly, "Although these people have made mistakes, they still have the value of living and are useful. ”

Ye Yan said unhurriedly: "So, useful people don't have to die." Even if the sect knew that Elder Tie set the fire, it might not kill Elder Tie, and it was likely that Elder Tie would be imprisoned. ”

If the matter is revealed, you don't have to die, this is good news, but Elder Tie is shocked into a cold sweat, over the years, he has ruled the prison with bloody and cruel means, and the prisoners regard him as a devil-like existence, hating and fearing!

If he himself had become a prisoner, and had been locked up with those prisoners, he would not have been tortured to death by those prisoners!

Elder Tie's mind turned sharply: "Elder Night just said that he wouldn't leak the arson, I don't know what he means?"

Ye Yan muttered to herself, why don't you talk about the old thing? I have already said it very explicitly, do you have to make it clear? Ye Yan coughed lightly and said, "Didn't the master say it very clearly, useful people don't have to die." Elder Tie has been working in the prison for many years, and his ability is obvious to all, and it is more than enough for you to serve as the prison supervisor. I just don't know if Elder Tie is still willing to continue to serve the sect, does Elder Tie like to stay with those prisoners, or does he help me deal with these prisoners?"

Speaking of which, if Elder Tie still doesn't understand, it's not that he doesn't know each other, but that he is an idiot, and now there are only two paths in front of him, unless he is useful to Ye Yan, otherwise, as long as Ye Yan moves his mouth, he can make him irreversible. Even though Elder Tie was unwilling, he also understood the truth that heroes should not suffer immediate losses, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are willing to continue to manage the prison for the sect, no, my subordinates will definitely do their best to assist Elder Night in managing the prison." ”

Although he knew that this level of surrender was insincere, Ye Yan still nodded with satisfaction, "Elder Ye has worked hard to manage the prison all these years, and he must be uncomfortable when he is occupied by a foreign hairy boy, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart. ”

Elder Tie said embarrassedly, "My subordinates don't dare. ”

"What dare you dare? Don't dare means that you are not convinced, but you just dare not admit it. Ye Yan continued nonchalantly: "If someone moves your power, you naturally want to resist. If the master and you compete for the power of the prison, sooner or later we will turn our faces. There are no eternal relationships in this world, only eternal interests, and as long as our interests are contradictory, sooner or later there will be a time to explode. ”

"This ......" Elder Tie had to admit that there was such a possible surname, he couldn't imagine that a hairy boy could see things so thoroughly and speak so thoroughly.

Ye Yan paused for a moment and said, "So the master will not interfere in the management of the prison, and he doesn't want to get involved in your power. "What Elder Night means. "As a native disciple of the sect, Elder Tie only has two important things in his mind, the first is his cultivation, and the second is his power, these two things are to determine the identity and status of a sect disciple, and decide everything about the sect disciples, so he really can't figure out that someone is willing to take the initiative to give up this power.

"The young master is the one who has the reputation of being the head of the prison, and this prison is still ruled by Elder Tie. Ye Yan said frankly.

Although Elder Tie is not very smart, after all, he has lived a long time, and he still understands the world's feelings, people first did not blame him for the arson in the past, and now he took the initiative to give up the power to control the prison, it is impossible not to have a plan, so he took the initiative to ask very eye-catchingly, "I don't know if there is any place under my subordinates that can serve Elder Night?"

Ye Yan thought about it and said, "In the future, Elder Tie will still govern the prison and restrain these prisoners, the young master just thinks that these prisoners are idle all day long, and they are too idle." These guys are not good birds in the first place, and it is easy to cause trouble when they have nothing to do, so why don't you find some work for you, what does Elder Tie think?"

Elder Tie has always not treated prisoners as human beings, so how can he care about the interests of prisoners? ”

Ye Yan's idea was actually very simple, he just wanted to borrow the deserted alchemy room of Rift Valley, and borrow those prisoners to refine the pill, and at the same time, he didn't want to waste time managing the prison, so the pros and cons between him and Elder Tie did not conflict. These prisoners are still ruled by Elder Iron, but they will work for him in the future, and Elder Iron has cooperated more than he expected. Confirming that he really didn't want to fight for the power of the prison, Elder Tie let go of the last trace of mustard, and was already obedient to him!
