Although it was now during the martial arts competition, the three of them did not feel much change in the number of people in the Tianxing Gate on the way around the mountain. It was as if Tianxingmen had not participated in this martial arts tournament at all.

But the Celestial Star Gate did participate. It's just that they only sent a small team to the competition.

In fact, those sects of all sizes that participated in the martial arts tournament basically only sent one or two teams of disciples to participate, and they would not bring all the disciples at once. It's like the Tide Pavilion in the East China Sea.

Qi Yuanli, the master of the Chaosheng Pavilion, when he received the summons from the Star Picking Pavilion, he asked several elders to get together to discuss, to see if anyone was interested in being the team leader, he would select a few passable disciples to participate in this martial arts competition. In the end, Zhu Yingyu became the team leader, and then selected a few disciples, and went to participate in the competition.

......

Ye Changqing and Su Yan wandered around Tianxing Mountain for a long time, and they basically saw the places that should be seen, and those places that outsiders were not allowed to enter, the two of them naturally couldn't see them.

Towards evening, Yang Zhen took Ye Changqing and Su Yan back to their temporary residence, which was Xiyunju. Then Yang Zhen left.

When Yang Zhen left, he told him that it was best not to move around at will if there was nothing to do, otherwise he might be treated as a thief by the disciples in charge of duty and patrol, and if that was the case, the matter would be difficult to handle.

Ye Changqing and Su Yan naturally agreed, saying that they would not walk around outside at will.

Yang Zhen was very satisfied with the cooperation between the two. So he bowed and left.

After sending Yang Zhen out of the gate, Ye Changqing and Su Yan returned to the hall. Then the two exchanged and summarized what they saw and heard on the mountain during the day.

"I only found a little bit of something suspicious. Su Yan got straight to the point and said: "We have been wandering around the mountains for a long time, and I haven't even seen a goblin who has achieved cultivation. ”

Su Yan said: "When we went to Lingyun Gate to visit Liang Yuan and them, at least we saw Mi Lu and Immortal Bird in Huayang Mountain, and we also became friends with Mi Lu. And this Tianxingmen, it can be regarded as a great sect of Xuanmen, and the aura here is strong, it is impossible not to have goblins who have cultivated into essences. That's what I'm more concerned about. Well, no, I've found so much. ”

"Well, I've noticed that, too. Ye Changqing nodded after listening, and then began to add some of the things he saw: "When we passed by a large hall today, I found some abnormalities...... It's that Partial Star Palace, do you have any impression?"

"Well, of course I do. Su Yan nodded and said, "Is there anything unusual there?" I didn't find anything. ”

"That's right. I have a keen perception of aura and true element, and you know that. Ye Changqing said: "When we passed by the Partial Star Hall today, I was keenly aware that the aura there was more active than that in other places. ”

Ye Changqing said: "At that time, didn't I stay there for a while on the grounds of looking at the scenery? As luck would have it, I did find some of them. ”

Ye Changqing continued: "At the beginning, the aura in the Partial Star Hall was indeed more active than in other places, but it didn't take long for me to keenly notice that the aura in the Partial Star Hall fell silent in an instant. And after the aura fell silent, it disappeared as if it had never existed at all.

Ye Changqing finally concluded: "Okay, this is what I found more suspicious. That's all there is to it for now. After speaking, Ye Changqing spread his hands.

"......" Su Yan nodded after listening. Then she asked, "Shall we go to the Partial Star Hall that night to inquire about the situation?"

“...... No. Ye Changqing thought about it, but still shook his head and refused. Then he rubbed his chin with his right hand and said, "I think we're ignoring someone." ”

"Oh? we ignored ...... You're referring to the white-robed steward...... No, is it the yin and evil thing that controls the steward?" Su Yan wanted to say who we had overlooked, but when she was about to spit out the last word, she suddenly remembered that the white-robed steward disciple and that yin and evil thing were coming.

"Yes, it's the evil thing. Ye Changqing said: "What did he come to this Heavenly Star Gate for? Although we don't know what it was for the time being, we can basically be sure that this thing is only available in the Heavenly Star Gate." Then we might as well make this hypothesis......"

Ye Changqing flipped his left hand, and a silvery-white stone the size of a baby's fist, faintly glowing, appeared on the palm of his hand. That's right, this silvery-white stone is the star-absorbing stone.

Ye Changqing put the star-absorbing stone in front of Su Yan, and then looked at her without speaking.

"Star Sucking Stone ......" Xue Hongyi didn't say that this thing can't be talked about to others, so Ye Changqing showed it to Su Yan when she came to Dingjiang yesterday, so she knew about it. So after Ye Changqing took out the star-absorbing stone, Su Yan understood what Ye Changqing meant.

Su Yan said: "The Star Absorbing Stone was originally exclusive to the Star Picking Pavilion, but it was patronized by thieves. And this Tianxingmen seems to have something unique to it, so it is also targeted. And the mastermind behind this is that evil thing. Isn't it?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Ye Changqing shook his head and said, "This is just an assumption. Judging from the current situation, that evil thing is indeed more suspicious. But we can't make assertions without hard evidence, which would lead us to subjective emotions in it. ”

Ye Changqing said: "What we have to do now is to find out that evil thing." With a bit of luck, we might be able to pry something out of his mouth that we need. Maybe he's even the thief who stole the Star-Absorbing Stone. In this way, we don't have to worry about complications, and we can go home directly. ”

"That's a good idea. Su Yan nodded. Then she thought of something, and only listened to her: "But this Tianxing Mountain is so big, is there any way for us to find him quickly? After all, this is not our territory, and if there is no clear goal, there will be no time to search in one night." ”

"I've thought about this question for a long time. Ye Changqing said: "Yan, don't think about things so complicated. Since the evil thing has taken control of the steward, and it is night, let us go to the steward's dwelling and take a look. Since he wants to control the steward, he shouldn't be too far away. ”

"Makes sense. Shall we go over now, or shall we wait a little longer?" asked Su Yan, looking at the sky outside.
