Cao Tianxuan looked at these herb pickers very vigilantly at first, but after a short time, he finally found out that the other party was really just an ordinary person collecting medicine, so he asked, "Hey, how many of you are from across the mountain?"

The few herb pickers glanced at Cao Tianxuan, their expressions were a little cramped, and after a while, they still had the courage to say: "Back to this master, we are not from the opposite side, we are just collecting medicine in the mountains, and now that the medicine is collected, we are ready to go home." ”

Hearing their words, Cao Tianxuan was stunned, and then asked, "When you were walking around in the mountains, did you see any unusual movements, and were there any people chasing other people?"

When several herb pickers heard Cao Tianxuan's inquiry, they showed an inexplicable look on their faces, and they were slightly stunned, and one of them said: "Back to the master, we have been in the mountains for seven or eight days, except for the range of Meishan County on the other side of the mountain, we have been to other places, and we have not seen any abnormal situation." ”

Hearing the words of several herb pickers, Cao Tianxuan's expression changed, and he immediately stood up.

His actions frightened several medicine pickers to kneel down directly, and fell to the ground with a panicked face, and said: "Please calm this old man's anger, the little ones answered truthfully, and they didn't dare to deceive." ”

Cao Tianxuan said: "Do you know how many exits there are in the mountains here, and if you want to come from Meishan County on the opposite side, is there any other place to come out besides here?"

Where did those herb pickers dare to conceal it, one of them spoke: "Back to the master, there are several different roads in Meishan County that can enter this mountainous area, but in this mountainous area, there is only this one exit that can come out.

No matter which way you enter the mountains, as long as you don't climb on the cliffs, you will generally converge not far behind us and finally come out of here. ”

When Cao Tianxuan heard this, the look on his face instantly became ugly, and he waved his hand to signal several herb pickers to leave.

Several herb pickers suddenly felt like they had been amnestied, and after bowing their heads and bowing, they hurriedly got up and left the Ye family's caravan quickly.

After Cao Tianxuan pondered for a moment, he said, "No, we can't wait any longer, you all return to the Ye family along the same road, and I'll look in the mountains to see if Ye Li is still inside." ”

Hearing his words, a séance stage spirit rune master of the Ye family said, "Uncle Tianxuan, let's go and have a look with you."

Ye Li fell to the end to cover us, and we are obliged to find him together. ”

Cao Tianxuan shook his head and said, "No, don't go in, the other party's strength is too strong, and you will only drag me down if you go."

I rode over, so if I ran into the opposing team, I could defend and run away.

If you go, you can't defend yourself against the other party's attack, and you are likely to be shot off your horse.

You should return to the Ye family along the same road now, be low-key on the way, and remember not to provoke right and wrong at will.

Take it, this is the spirit stone and pill we exchanged for this time, you all bring them back to the family first, and after I go in to check the situation, I will also follow to the Ye family. ”

Cao Tianxuan took out the Qiankun bag on his body very solemnly and handed it to the séance period spirit rune master.

Seeing Cao Tianxuan's resoluteness, the other party knew that he had made up his mind, and he and the others could indeed only drag him down, so he had no choice but to take the Qiankun bag and nodded: "Uncle Tianxuan, then you should be careful yourself, if the situation is not right, you can come out quickly."

We will try to take the big road along the way, if there are any special circumstances, we will leave the Ye family's mark on the road, you can follow the mark to chase us. ”

Cao Tianxuan nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry about my side, I'm just going to try to find Ye Li."

As long as we don't see Ye Li's body, he should be fine, we can go back to Ye's house first.

We also told him before, after escaping, he met at the Ye family, and he was not small, maybe he didn't escape by normal road at all, but climbed directly to the cliff and left here from somewhere else. ”

After explaining, Cao Tianxuan rode his horse and turned around and returned to the mountains, and the two séance period spirit runes of the Ye family also hurriedly returned to the Ye family with the Ye family's caravan.

Cao Tianxuan rushed all the way back to the place where they were first attacked, only to find that there was no movement around them.

After a careful search, there were no corpses around except for the traces left at the beginning of the fight, whether it was Ye Li's or the other party's.

Seeing such a situation, Cao Tianxuan's heart was somewhat relieved, after all, if he didn't see the corpse, he couldn't say for sure that something had happened to Ye Li.

After he searched the mountains alone, he really didn't see any other traces, and Ye Li and the people in black seemed to have disappeared directly.

"Damn, is Ye Li dead or alive now?"

Cao Tianxuan looked around, feeling extremely helpless.

Gritting his teeth, there was really no way, he could only leave the mountains and return towards Shanhai County.

Along the way, thinking about the previous situation, he also felt that something was wrong, because the strength of these black-clothed people was too strong.

If these people are ordinary gangsters and thieves, it is really a bit incredible, looking at the way the other party fights, they don't look like people from small forces at all.

If the other party is an elite from some big forces, then what is the purpose of the other party's attack on them, their glazed flame crystal iron has already been sold, could it be that the other party is for the spirit stones on their bodies.

Thinking of this, Cao Tianxuan felt that it was a little impossible, they did get a lot of spirit stones from buying and selling glazed flame crystal iron, but it was not enough to make some big forces covetous.

The more he thought about it, the more Cao Tianxuan felt that this time it was so strange, and he didn't know how to judge it at all.

The only thing he could do now was to hurry back to the Ye family and report the matter to Ye Wuyi as it was.

If Ye Li really disappeared in the mountains, he could only inform his master Ou Qianxie of Ye Li's situation, because he felt that the power represented by these black-clothed people was probably not something that the Ye family could afford to provoke.

Maybe in the end, he can only rely on Ou Qianxie to come forward and see if he can find a way to find Ye Li.

..............................

Ye Li didn't know how long it had been since he was knocked unconscious, and in a trance, he felt that his consciousness had become blurred, as if a voice had been whispering inexplicable words in his ear.

The words seemed to have magical power, churning in the depths of his mind, causing his mind to become confused.

Vaguely, Ye Li felt that his body was no longer his own, as if an inexplicable existence was manipulating him and making him do something.
