"I've been living in Linglong Pavilion for the past few days, and I'll ask someone from Linglong Pavilion to help find out the information."

"That's fine, the spies of Linglong Pavilion are still very powerful, but they are too dark-hearted."

……

Ye Fan left King Hao's Mansion, came to Linglong Pavilion to open a side room, and entrusted the people of Linglong Pavilion to inquire about Gu Qingfeng's information, and then left Linglong Pavilion directly, came to a no-man's corner, and used the Five Elements Escape Technique to escape into the ground.

……

Jiangwangfu.

The mansion where Ying Jiangshan lived.

Ye Fan performed the Five Elements Escape Technique and came to King Jiang's Mansion to investigate the situation in King Jiang's Mansion.

Mansion Hall.

Ying Jiangshan was talking to a middle-aged man in blood-colored armor.

Ying Jiangshan frowned slightly: "Haowang's Mansion was washed in blood, who did it?" ”

The middle-aged man replied: "Jin Jiawei was the first to arrive at the scene and sealed off the Hao Wang's Mansion, according to the report of the spies we planted in Jin Jiawei, Jin Jiawei has not found any trace of the murderer at present. ”

"If it wasn't the prince's people who did it, then who would it be?" Ying Jiangshan looked pensive.

"My subordinates are also confused now, and I really can't think of who is behind all this." The middle-aged man looked helpless.

"Continue to investigate, pay attention to the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Academy."

"It has been arranged, and no useful information has been sent back at this time."

……

Ye Fan was secretly listening to the conversation between Ying Jiangshan and the middle-aged man, and couldn't help but be more puzzled in his heart, originally Ye Fan thought that Ying Jiangshan sent someone to wash the Haowang Mansion in blood, but now when he heard the conversation between Ying Jiangshan and the middle-aged man, he suddenly lost the direction of the investigation.

Ye Fan walked around King Jiang's Mansion and found no information related to Gu Qingfeng, but found a lot of powerful secret sentinels and guards.

Ye Fan did not act rashly, and chose to leave King Jiang's Mansion and rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

When Ye Fan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were two rows of guards wearing golden armor standing at the door, and the minimum cultivation of these golden armor guards was in the late stage of the Nebula Realm.

Ye Fan entered the Prime Minister's Mansion from underground, and there were also a large number of guards standing on the compound and corridor of the mansion, which could almost be said to be ten steps and one post, such a strict vigilance posture made Ye Fan secretly speechless.

Ye Fan moved underground to the depths of the mansion, investigating the situation in the mansion all the way, the entire mansion was like an iron bucket, but whenever there was any trouble, these golden armor guards could immediately rush to the scene.

In a study room in the mansion, Yang Yan held a brush and stood in front of a huge stone table with a three- or four-meter-long piece of rice paper.

Whew......

The brush flutters quickly on the rice paper.

Flowing water.

I saw pleasing handwriting on the rice paper.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the life experience is ups and downs.

Throughout the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I slash demons and evil with righteousness.

Sou!

The brush in Yang Yan's hand suddenly came out of his hand and shot to the ground in the corner of the study.

"Bang!"

The brush is like a sharp arrow, directly breaking a fist-sized hole in the ground, and the whole brush is shot into the ground.

Sou!

Yang Yan raised his hand and waved, and the brush flew out from the entrance of the cave and fell into Yang Yan's hand, only to see that there was a trace of blood on the brush at this time.

"Humph!" Yang Yan let out a cold snort, revealing a look of disdain, "The little god hides the realm and dares to peek at his true appearance, it's just beyond his strength." ”

……

Underground.

Ye Fan used the Five Elements Escape Technique to quickly escape downward, and a fist-sized hollow wound appeared on Ye Fan's shoulder, the wound penetrated through his back, and his entire shoulder was completely soaked with blood.

Ye Fan went deep into the ground, and it was not until he was far away from the realm of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Ye Fan stopped his body and immediately ran the exercises to control the Chaos Yuan Qi to recover from his injuries......

Two days later.

Ye Fan's shoulders recovered as before, changed into a piece of clothing, and then left the underground and returned to the Linglong Pavilion.

"Ye Gongzi, there is your letter."

When Ye Fan returned to Linglong Pavilion, a young woman came to the room where Ye Fan was and handed Ye Fan a piece of white paper rolled into a column.

Ye Fan took the blank paper, looked at the young woman and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

The young woman shook her head and replied, "This letter was shot into the Linglong Pavilion by an arrow, and I didn't find out who the other party was. ”

Ye Fan frowned slightly, directly spread out the white paper in his hand, and when he saw the handwriting on the white paper, Ye Fan's face instantly became gloomy.

The imperial tomb kills thousands of miles.

Take the jade seal.

Gu Qingfeng can live.

That's what the letter says.

"Have you found out my brother's whereabouts in the past two days?"

The young woman shook her head: "We have sent spies, but we have not yet found Gu Qingfeng's whereabouts." ”

"Notify me of any news."

The young woman nodded, then exited the room, leaving Ye Fan alone to stand in place and ponder.

"Who the hell is it?"

……

Ye Fan racked his brains.

Yingjiangshan?

Ying Hao?

Maitreya?

In addition to the needs of the crown prince Ying Wanli, there are only three other living princes, and Ying Jiangshan has been excluded before, so there are only Ying Hao and Ying Maitreya.

Ying Hao has disappeared.

……

Ye Fan left Linglong Pavilion, came to Yangwang's Mansion, and found Ying Maitreya.

At this time, Ying Maitreya had already removed the bandages on his body, and the whole person looked fine, but his face was a little pale, and now Ying Maitreya was entertaining Ye Fan who came to him in the hall of the mansion.

"Brother Ye Fan, I don't know what to say about you, I told you to leave the imperial city a long time ago, don't wade into the troubled waters of the royal family, you don't listen, now that Gu Qingfeng is missing and forcing you to enter the imperial tomb, you are simply killing yourself."

"Maybe you don't know that those who enter the imperial tomb, except for the emperors and princes of the past dynasties who can walk out of the imperial tomb alive, and people outside the royal family who enter the imperial tomb, have never seen anyone who can walk out of the imperial tomb alive."

"Besides, even if you enter the Imperial Tomb, kill my eldest brother, and successfully snatch the jade seal of the heirloom country, it is not necessarily that the other party will let you and Gu Qingfeng live, so I advise you to leave the imperial city and return to Qingcheng Mountain to stay."

Ying Maitreya looked at Ye Fan, revealing a look of hatred for iron but not steel.

Hearing this, Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "It's impossible for me to leave my brother behind and escape from the imperial city alone. ”

"Why are you so disobedient?" Ying Maitreya was angry, "No matter what the final result is, Gu Qingfeng is certain to die, if you leave the imperial city, even if Gu Qingfeng knows, he will understand you, why should you die in vain." ”

"There is no need to persuade me, I came to you today, mainly to inquire about Ying Hao's whereabouts, if you have any news of him, I hope to inform me immediately."

"What a tendon." Ying Maitreya raised his hand and touched his bald head, revealing a helpless look, "If I have news of my fifth brother, I will definitely notify you in time, but I still have to advise you to think about what I said, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you are still young, and your achievements in the future are limitless......"

"That's it!" Ye Fan interrupted Ying Maitreya's words and stood up directly, "I still have something to deal with, so I won't bother." ”

Ying Maitreya immediately got up, blocked Ye Fan's way, and said, "Don't! Come here, come and have a few drinks with me before leaving. ”

"I'm so sorry! I really don't have the heart to drink, next time. ”

Ye Fan walked past Ying Maitreya, left the hall, and walked towards the outside of the mansion......

Ying Maitreya looked at Ye Fan who was leaving, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

……

Ye Fan left the Yang Wang's Mansion and walked aimlessly on the streets, constantly thinking about Ying Maitreya's previous actions in his head.

Think about it.

Ye Fan couldn't see anything unusual about Ying Maitreya, and now Ye Fan suspected that the only person who captured Gu Qingfeng was the missing Ying Hao.

But when he thought of the bloodbath of Haowang's mansion and Li Zhenchang's tragic death, he instantly broke the suspicion in his heart, if Ying Hao wanted to kidnap Gu Qingfeng and threaten himself, there was no need to do this kind of killing his own people.

……

Time passes.

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and there are only three days before Ye Fan and Ying Wanli agreed to enter the imperial tomb.

Five days.

Ye Fan searched almost carpetly, and almost searched the entire imperial city with the Five Elements Escape Technique, but he didn't find any trace of Gu Qingfeng, and he didn't even see Ying Hao's figure.

"Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Dynasty Academy!"

"Taiwei Mansion!"

"The Imperial Palace!"

In these four places, Ye Fan also investigated slightly, but these four places were guarded by the strong people of the Stellar Realm, Ye Fan did not dare to go too deep, he was injured by Yang Yan in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Fan still has palpitations now, Ye Fan's current strength, in front of the strong people of the Stellar Realm, can be said to be powerless.

Ye Fan, who was helpless, returned to Linglong Pavilion and learned that Linglong Pavilion did not have any clues about Gu Qingfeng, so he sat cross-legged in his own room, took out the multicolored stone and entered the cultivation state, and after waiting for three days, he entered the imperial tomb with Ying Wanli.

……

East Palace.

Ying Wanli and Li Piaomiao stood opposite each other.

"What has Ye Fan been doing these days?"

Li Piaomiao replied: "I was looking for Gu Qingfeng, but it seems that I didn't find it, and now I have returned to Linglong Pavilion." ”

"How's the matter going in the Dark Soul Temple?"

"One hundred and eight cities, now they have control over forty-seven cities, and now they are infiltrating the Fog Hidden City."

"Tell them to speed up the progress, I don't want to have a city that I don't control when I come out of the Imperial Tomb."

"Understood!"

"Those old guys who took refuge in the Taiwei Mansion left the Imperial City at the same time, and we must find their whereabouts as soon as possible, leaving the Imperial City at this time must have unknown secrets that may affect our plans."

Li Piaomiao replied: "The prime minister has asked Senior Han Jin to track down this matter, and it will definitely not affect our plan." ”

"Whew!" Ying Wanli exhaled a long breath, "With Senior Han Jin to deal with, then there won't be much of a problem." ”

……

Three days later.

In a purple bamboo forest deep in the palace, Chen Xu, the chief eunuch, stood in an altar carved with complex formations and closed his eyes to recuperate.

In front of the altar stood two groups, led by Ying Wanli and Ying Jiangshan.

There were ten young men standing behind Ying Wanli, and Ye Fan was one of them.

Behind Ying Jiangshan also stood ten young men.

Among these people, except for Ye Fan, who was a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Divine Hidden Realm, the others all exuded the aura of the late stage of the Nebula Realm.
