At the auction venue, Ye Qianming said to Yang Wei who was stunned.
"Ye Kongzun is from the Ye family. If he knows that you are the young master of the Yang family, he will definitely try his best to capture you. This is a great achievement, and Bishan Country is also considered the Ye family's territory. You'd better hide first.
Avoid the limelight..."
Yang Wei's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips were trembling, but he still encouraged himself and said.
"No, it doesn't matter. I have a family secret treasure, which is more than enough to deal with a golden elixir-level person..."
"Two," Ye Qianming corrected, "If you, the traitor of the Yang family, are really in Bishan Country, you will definitely need the care of your rival Ye family. Ye Kongzun will tell him about you, and he will definitely do it in order to protect himself.
Join forces with Ye Kongzun."
"Furthermore, Ye Kongzun is the only third-grade alchemist in Bishan Kingdom. He can recruit countless masters. It will not be difficult to catch you."
Only then did Yang Wei give up his fantasy, and immediately stood up and started to run. Before running, he didn't forget to give Ye Qianming his hand: "Thank you, brother Li, for telling me. If we meet again someday, I'll treat you to a nice drink!"
After that, Yang Wei quickly disappeared into the crowd leaving the venue.
Ye Qianming shook his head and could only pray that Yang Wei escaped. After he came out, he found a dark corner and took out the Thousand Faces.
Although Qianmian can be replaced with other faces, it will take a certain amount of time to adapt to the owner's face, so Ye Qianming can only take it off first to avoid Ye Kongzun's possible search.
After hiding for a while, Ye Qianming made sure that there was no unusual movement around him, and then he felt relieved and began to sense the spiritual power marks he had left on the two skills.
It didn't take long for Ye Qianming to locate the two skills, but the location surprised him.
"This place is... the City Lord's Mansion?"
Ye Qianming locked the mark of spiritual power on the city lord's mansion in Hexia City based on his impression of Hexia City, but the result surprised him greatly.
"No wonder the City Lord's Mansion and the Academy searched for so long but couldn't find anyone. It turns out that the ghost was hiding in the City Lord's Mansion, and it was dark under the lamp!"
The prison where Guiying was imprisoned was naturally for those who were in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, the only prisoner in the City Lord's Mansion who was in the Foundation Establishment stage was Guiying. Therefore, Xu Chang seriously injured Guiying during a show, and after the latter failed to escape, he returned to the prison.
In prison.
Everyone thought that the ghost in the prison had escaped, so they would no longer pay attention to this place. As long as Xu Chang took good measures, it would be the safest hiding place.
"But how should we go to find out? The city lord's palace is heavily guarded, and insiders like Xu Chang are deliberately protecting it. There may be more secrets involved. It is definitely impossible to arrest him directly...
"
Ye Qianming walked out of the corner and was thinking about countermeasures when someone behind him suddenly said.
"Master Li! Master Li!"
Ye Qianming, who was now showing his original face, felt his heart tighten when he heard his pseudonym. Then he turned around cautiously, looking for the source of the sound.
"Fellow ghost Taoist?"
Ye Qianming said in surprise.
This ghost is not the other ghost, but the ghost beard who explored the ancient tomb with Ye Qianming before. When the three of them were betrayed by Xiang Liu and Xiao Fengyun and trapped in the ancient tomb, Ye Qianming first knocked them out and then used Yin Xuanzi to
Get rid of the predicament and finally send him back while he is unconscious.
When Gui Huzi saw Ye Qianming, he was also full of joy and saluted solemnly: "It's really Mr. Li. I haven't had the chance to repay you for saving your life last time!"
Ye Qianming smiled and returned the greeting: "It's good to see fellow Taoist monks fine, there's no need to be so respectful."
Gui Huzi said frankly: "Although I, Gui Huzi, have offended many people in the past and damaged my moral character, I am also a person who knows how to repay kindness. If you save my life, you must repay me with all your strength. I have also visited many times to learn from you."
The palace asked to see him, but Fairy Yelan said that the young master was devoted to seclusion and there was really no chance to see him again. "
"And the young master was actually able to take me away from the four foundation-building monsters. He is really young and promising! It's a pity that I was knocked unconscious by the monsters and did not see the bravery of the young master and Fairy Yelan."
"It turns out he thought that sap was struck by a monster..."
Ye Qianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart, but when he saw that Gui Huzi respected him so much, he didn't want to correct him. He looked at Gui Huzi's new outfit, which looked like the backbone of a powerful family, and couldn't help laughing.
"Fellow Taoist, it seems that you have developed a lot in the past six months."
Ghost Beard waved his hand quickly: "Thanks to you, you left me the long knife after you rescued me. I used that long knife to get acquainted with the eldest man of the City Lord's Mansion, and then I opened up the door and climbed up.
The high branch of the City Lord’s Mansion…”
Having said this, Ghost Beard suddenly flashed his eyes, motioned Ye Qianming to come closer, and whispered.
"Young master, do you know that Xiao Fengyun has been missing for half a year? I am also considered a figure in Hexia City. I used my own methods to search through Hexia City, but I didn't see his figure. Something must have happened!"
Ye Qianming raised his eyebrows and said: "He provoked you and me. I thought you and I would be buried in the ancient tomb, but when we saw us returning safely, we were naturally frightened. It is possible that we disappeared because we left Hexia City."
Ghost Beard shook his head: "I was cautious at the time. After I woke up, I took the time to keep the long knife and recover my body before looking for him. Xiao Fengyun is well-informed and will definitely know the news. I have to run early."
He ran away, but you know what?"
"He didn't take anything with him! And not just the lakeside hut. This kind of person is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Over the years, he has accumulated treasures hidden in many places. In the past six months, I have dug three feet into the ground and hid all the treasures.
They were all turned out, but none of them were touched!"
"If you think about it, it doesn't matter if the location is conspicuous, but even the treasures in the deep rockery and the ancient trees in the dry well are not taken away, but it doesn't make sense."
"In my opinion, Xiao Fengyun is probably gone, and he has a lot to do with Xiang Liu! Maybe Xiang Liu killed someone for profit!"
After hearing what Ghost Beard said, Ye Qianming was quite surprised. He didn't expect these things to happen in a corner where he couldn't focus.
Ye Qianming became more and more suspicious of the unknown Xiang Liu's identity, and he didn't quite believe Xiao Fengyun's story that he accidentally discovered the tomb of Fairy Qingluan. It was more likely that there was a purposeful plan from the beginning.
But now that this matter has passed, Xiao Fengyun and Xiang Liu have either disappeared or died. They have nothing to do with Ye Qianming for the time being. Instead, it was some information from Ghost Beard that moved his heart and asked.
"Fellow Ghost Daoist, you said that you have a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. I wonder if there is a way to get into the prison where the foundation-building experts are imprisoned?"
Ghost Beard looked surprised, but he still nodded in front of his savior: "Yes, yes, there are many souls in the prison that have not been extinguished and turned into ghosts. Normally, monks who have the means to eliminate ghosts must come to inspect and kill them.
"
"But I heard that the prison where they were being held was now completely empty. After the evil cultivator named Guiying escaped, the city lord's palace felt that the prison was not strict, so they built another one and moved all the prisoners there. The original one has been abandoned.
"
Ye Qianming was delighted: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way to get in. I wonder if you can help me with this?"
Gui Huzi hesitated for a moment. Once such an approach was exposed, not only would he no longer be prosperous and wealthy, but he would also be accused by the city lord's palace, and his whereabouts would not be much better. If he had been in the past, he would have probably refused.
But now his life was saved by Ye Qianming, and then he got to where he is today. Ghost Beard, who had gone through the test of life and death, naturally valued the life-saving friendship more, so he finally nodded resolutely.
"Although it is dangerous, if Mr. Li is interested, I, Gui Huzi, will naturally help me with this. Please be prepared. I will have a chance tonight!"
………………
That night, outside the original underground prison of the City Lord's Mansion, a soldier with low cultivation level was controlling the prison door and sighed from time to time.
"Ever since the evil foundation-building cultivator escaped, this place has become even more gloomy, and the hard-earned money for visiting the prison has been lost. Tsk, what a waste!"
At this moment, Ghost Beard came to the door with an old Taoist in Taoist costumes and smiled at the soldiers.
"Brother, I brought the monk who exorcised ghosts today!"
"Hey, it's Master Gui!"
As soon as the soldier saw the ghost beard, he immediately put a smile on his face, trotted over and rubbed his hands.
"Why did you come here in person today? Hey, this fellow Taoist is different from the previous one?"
Ghost Beard chuckled and said: "Haha, the one before was injured and is recovering, and this one is also a good exorcist of ghosts. By the way, is Manager Xu Chang here?"
"Steward Xu came here during the day, but went back soon. Master Ye Kongzun is here today, and the City Lord's Mansion hosted a banquet to welcome him. Steward Xu naturally went too. As for the replacement..."
The soldier hesitated and said: "Of course I have no objection, but the city lord's palace requires that everyone who works here must be recorded in the book and cannot be changed at will. You see..."
"Why bother? It's just for one night, so don't bother!"
Ghost Beard patted the soldier's chest and stuffed a bag of spiritual stones.
