Duanmu Qiu was running in front, only to feel that the soles of his feet were tripped by something, which made him stop and look down.

Ye Qi chased behind, with endless anger against Duanmu Qiu in his heart, wanting to vent it and let him know how powerful the disciples of the Sword Immortal Hall were.

Suddenly, Duanmu Qiu stopped in front of him and leaned over, making Ye Qi unable to help but slow down.

This wood can't be doing some kind of conspiracy again, right?

Ye Qi approached cautiously, but Duanmu Qiu still squatted there and didn't get up.

"Wood, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Ye Qi's inquiry, Duanmu Qiu turned around, his face lost his previous smile, and became dignified. "There is a corpse on the ground. ”

Whose corpse is it?

When Ye Qi heard this, he hurried forward without doubt, he believed that Duanmu Qiu would not joke with him when it came to business.

Walking to Duanmu Qiu's side, the things that were blocked by him also met Ye Qi's eyes. It was a corpse, or rather, a pair of clothed bones, with only bones left.

Although the clothes are tattered, the dark blue satin can be vaguely distinguished, and it is not something that ordinary people can wear.

Ye Qi's eyes were sharp, and he found that not far in front of the corpse, there was a little light, he stepped forward to investigate, and found the scattered and discarded weapons.

It's a magic weapon!

Ye Qi tried to penetrate it with the cold tide true qi, and found that it was unimpeded, obviously a magic weapon rather than an ordinary weapon, then the bones lying on it must be a monk, and at least a monk with a fourfold magic technique.

"What kind of clothes is Li Yan wearing today?" Duanmu Qiu suddenly asked. His question made Ye Qi also surprised.

Yes, today Li Yan made an agreement with them to see who would find the Flower Butterfly Cloud Snake Fruit first, but there was no one along the way. Ye Qi was still wondering if he had given up.

When Li Yan fought with himself that day, it was a Blood Yang Red Copper Knife, and the weapon he found now was also a long knife, could it really be that Li Yan was killed?

"No, Li Yan is not wearing blue today, but red, I have an impression. The person who died was not Li Yan. ”

Ye Qi recalled that in the corridor, when the two sides were squeezing each other, Li Yan was indeed wearing a red costume, not the blue on the corpse.

However, Duanmu Qiu's words also reminded Ye Qi. Since it wasn't Li Yan, could it be a monk from another sect family?

Thinking of this, he also squatted down like Duanmu Qiu, and opened the torn clothes on the bones, trying to find something.

Duanmu Qiu saw Ye Qi like this, and also rummaged together, wanting to find any useful clues.

"Look, Yezi!" Duanmu Qiu suddenly called out to Ye Qi, and he handed over the fragment of clothing in his hand, which was a piece of cloth at the sleeve of his shirt.

On the edge of the broken step of the blue sleeve, that is, the position of the original cuff of the dress, there is an embroidery of the word "Han" on it.

"Han Xiaoyan!" "Han Xiaoyan!"

The two exclaimed in unison, could it be that this corpse is Han Xiaoyan's?

Duanmu Qiu hurriedly got closer, he just wanted to play tricks on this impure woman, not to kill her. If Han Xiaoyan dies because of him, there will inevitably be condemnation in his heart.

"Whew...... No, the skeleton is a man's. Its pelvis is small and high, which is clearly different from that of women. ”

Fortunately, Duanmu Qiu was knowledgeable and talented, and he was able to identify the gender of this corpse, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

However, if it weren't for Han Xiaoyan, it might also be someone from her family. How could a fourfold monk die at the bottom of a cliff? ”

"Let's look ahead and see if there are any other traces. ”

At Duanmuqiu's suggestion, the two continued to walk along the path at the bottom of the cliff, and soon after walking forward, they found another corpse on the cliff wall, which was also a corpse with only bones left.

Could it be that there was a scuffle here, and they all died in this scuffle?

Ye Qi told Duanmu Qiu about his guess, but he shook his head and denied it. "If you look at the color of this bone, it is obviously different from the previous one, which means that it did not die at the same time. ”

"Let's see if there are any other clues on him. ”

Ye Qi's two-bladed green steel sword swung and split the cliff rock that stuck the bones, and the bones also fell, falling to the ground with a "click", and the dust flew for a while.

Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu stepped forward and began to rummage as before, this time it was Ye Qi who found it from the rock wall, and it was also a token embedded in the cliff. In the pattern outlined above, there is a character "Li".

"Li family, this corpse is a monk of the Li family. ”

"Look a little further, and see if there is any. ”

The two walked all the way and found a lot of bones, judging from Duanmu Qiu's judgment, they did not die at the same time, and there was an obvious order of early and late.

But coincidentally, according to the clues found on them, most of these bones were monks of the Li, Han, and Ye families, and their spheres of influence were all near Yunzhou City.

"Oh, there are so many bones hidden at the bottom of a cliff, is it a special place to put corpses? It would be great if we could find the corpses of the Snake King and the Ghost Scale Jiao. ”

Duanmu Qiu chuckled, in the face of so many corpses, he still couldn't forget to curse a few words.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

When Ye Qi heard the words Snake Jun and Ghost Scale Jiao, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. He reached out and grabbed Duanmu Qiu, who was still walking forward, and couldn't help yawning anymore.

"Wood, I thought of a possibility. ”

The snake monarch is the demon gate, and these bones are the monks of the Li family, the Ye family, and the Han family.

Whether they live or die, they have traces of their presence on this cliff.

If their appearance is not accidental, then there must be someone who is secretly dominating it all.

"Is it the Snake King?" Duanmu Qiu was extremely intelligent, and after Ye Qi's analysis, he also thought of a possibility.

"Not bad. Ye Qi slowly pulled out the two-edged green steel sword in his hand, and Han Feng illuminated the faces of the two of them, and also shone into their hearts.

"If it was the Snake King and the Ghost Scale Jiao who killed these three monks, what did he want to do?

"Then we might as well speculate on what good it was for him to kill these three monks. The answer is no good. If he is discovered by these three families, he will be hunted down by the Li, Ye, and Han families, even if it is two magic tricks and four times, it is just a plate of hors d'oeuvres. ”

"But what if he wasn't discovered, in other words, what if the three didn't think that it was the Snake King who killed their family's monks?"

The faster Ye Qi spoke, the more fluent his reasoning became, and he thought that when he first arrived at the Ye family, Old Man Ye had also expressed at the dinner party that Yunzhou was no longer as calm as it seemed.

He was alluding to the fact that the three forces around Yunzhou City all had a tendency to start moving, and they must have judged from the disappearance of their own monks.

"If the three families don't find the Snake King, they will inevitably be suspicious of each other, and more monks will collide with each other, and these three forces will inevitably have a chaotic war, and the decent will kill each other, isn't it exactly what the Demon Gate wants to see!"

Duanmu Qiu, he thought of such terrible consequences.

"It's just a fourfold trick, and it shouldn't be able to set off such a big storm. Thinking about it again, Snake Jun and Feng Yan appeared in the decent territory for some reason, maybe they had already planned something. ”

Ye Qi connected a series of things, and couldn't help but be shocked by the ruthless and vicious conspiracy of the Demon Gate, which was only a small part of what they had accidentally discovered.

It's like a rope that was immersed in the dark mud, because Ye Qi accidentally fell and brought out a section, and he pulled out the mud by him, but more unknowns are still buried deep in the darkness.

Maybe the disappearance of the Mu family before, the changes in the Sword Immortal Palace, and the powerful sword cultivation that left those two sword marks are all related to the Demon Gate!

Could it be that after they have been silent for a long time, they want to make a comeback and set off a new round of battle between the righteous and the demon!

Ye Qi is just a small fourfold cultivator, in Duanmu Qiu's words, there is still a tall person on top when the sky falls.

But you can relax in the rest, among the tallest people, there is also one who is his own master!

"Wood, we have to stop them. ”

"Stop? Who do you want to stop? They are not a simple organization, they are demons, demon cultivators! Vicious and ruthless demon cultivators! Are you a sword immortal or a great sword immortal, can you destroy strong enemies while talking and laughing?"

"Don't forget, the head of the Mu family is the cultivation of the great ghost immortal! I advise you not to spread this muddy water, go to Xiaopenglai honestly, and complete the task. By the way, find an opportunity to tell these inferences and news to those high-ranking bigwigs, hehe, let them have a headache. ”

Duanmu Qiu saw that Ye Qi's face was resolute, and he hurriedly turned the fan horizontally, stopped his steps, and opened his mouth to admonish.

"I don't know the danger here, let's go back first, even if it's to be safe, we have to tell the old man of the Ye family what we found first, and then make other plans, right?"

Ye Qi was finally persuaded by Duanmu Qiu and withdrew the idea of going further. Indeed, if even they are in deep trouble and encounter accidents, I am afraid that the truth will really be buried in the ground for a long time.

"Wood, let's go back first. ”

"Go back? hehehehe, did you ask me if I agreed?"

A long, shrill laugh came, and the voice was a little feminine and harsh.

Ye Qi was shocked when he heard the voice, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and swung his sword, and the two-edged green steel sword that had not yet been unsheathed turned into a cold light and slashed straight down.

At the same time, the black mist spit out by the ghost scale Jiao was also pierced and split by the cold light.

"Snake King, it's really you!"

Duanmu Qiu saw that the person who spoke was the snake monarch standing on top of the ghost scale Jiao's head, and he took out his fan without saying a word, and began to glow with white true qi.

The Snake King was still dressed in black, he hid his hands in his sleeves, and there was a wicked smile on his feminine face. The ghost scale Jiao under the seat also kept spitting out slender red letters, swinging from side to side, as if it was sweeping away the saliva that flowed out.

"My baby is eating, and I said who dared to disturb me without opening my eyes, it turned out to be the two of you. I let you live before, but I didn't expect to find it and send it to death. Since you have discovered the secret here, I will naturally spare you!"

"Save ...... Help!Ye Qi...... Help me. ”

Accompanied by the snake monarch's feminine voice, there was also a faint cry for help, which turned out to be Ye Qi's name.

Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu looked up, and the red figure that was swept up in the tail by the ghost scale Jiao, who was it not Li Yan?
