In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, Ghost Beard stood in a corner outside the dungeon, vomited out all the twenty kilograms of liquor he drank last night, and then panted and looked at the dungeon door where he was drunk.
The soldiers on the ground sighed.
"This bastard is really good at drinking. I, a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, almost died of drunkenness here. It will be easier to just knock him out next time..."
As he was talking, a figure walked out of the dungeon. Ye Qianming, who looked like a Taoist priest, came out dragging four sacks behind his back. Ghost Beard was stunned for a moment, and he quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Master, have you finished your work?"
Ye Qianming nodded, looked at the drunken soldier next to him, put a sack on him, threw two of the sacks together with the soldiers and said.
"I'd like to trouble fellow Taoist ghosts to find a few people to send them out of Hexia City. Something big will happen later. The only way for them to survive is to leave here."
Ghost Beard felt nervous and nodded: "I'll do it right away. Then the remaining two..."
Ye Qianming looked at the remaining two sacks. One of them was half shorter, and they were Yang Wei's and the ghost's body that had been broken into two halves.
Ye Qianming sighed and said, "I can handle these two myself. Xu Chang will be here soon. Fellow ghost Taoist, please act quickly."
Upon hearing this, Ghost Beard quickly recruited people to send the three people out of the city according to Ye Qianming's instructions, and arranged their funeral arrangements, while Ye Qianming left Yang Wei behind his back.
An hour later, Xu Chang, dressed in white attire, came to the dungeon and found that the soldier was not here, and couldn't help but frown.
"You left your post without permission and I will deal with you later!"
After saying that, Xu Chang entered the dungeon, opened the secret room, and activated the mechanism. He wanted to see the ghost and the state of Yang Wei captured, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Both of these things are great achievements. As long as I send that boy to Master Ye today, I will have climbed onto the high branches of the Ye family, and my future will be boundless!"
"And there's that kid named Guiying who's helping me. Isn't the Lord of Hexia City easy to capture?"
Xu Chang had already planned a great blueprint for the future in his mind. He was walking into the cave proudly, but he suddenly froze on the spot.
In mid-air, a group of terrifyingly powerful black souls floated. The souls were constantly swallowing rivers of demonic energy. Seeing Xu Chang, who was stunned on the spot, he couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you like the way I look?"
Xu Chang's lips couldn't help but tremble: "You, who are you..."
"Who am I?" The black soul chuckled, "Am I not the evil cultivator on the run that you are waiting for carefully? My fellow Taoist has forgotten me?"
Xu Chang's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "You are a ghost, how can you be so powerful!?"
"I'm sorry." Guiying looked at his soul hesitantly. Not only was it a pity, "I didn't expect that doll to have such a method. It's a pity that I can only use it on a dying person like you."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Chang, who instinctively tightened his heart, but his arrogance made him still shout.
"What happened? Where is the boy or the guard? Tell me!"
"You will meet some people soon." The ghost's laughter became more and more rampant, and the sobbing and noisy ghost air suddenly burst out, turning the entire cave into the underworld again, "After we get down to the underworld, we can still meet!
"
"What are you going to do, stop, stop————"
One day later, Xu Chang's friends came to look for him. They were shocked to find that the dungeon collapsed and Xu Chang died tragically. A group of extremely terrifying foundation-building souls turned this place into the underworld and the city lord's palace. The Liu family each sent strong men to suppress it, resulting in heavy casualties.
It was removed later.
What is strange is that the Beixuan Academy, which has always been responsible for exterminating demons and defending Taoism, did not help this time. It just watched with cold eyes. For a while, an undercurrent surged in Hexia City.
………………
Going back in time to one day ago, Ye Qianming, who was carrying two sacks, took advantage of the fact that it was still early and temporarily arranged the sacks containing Yang Wei at the Yu family residence.
Many guards in the Yu Mansion followed Yu Jin to find trouble for Ye Qianming. Naturally, they knew that Ye Qianming had a close relationship with the young master and the young lady, so although they were worried and confused, they still helped Ye Qianming to temporarily place Yang Wei.
Here it is.
After that, Ye Qianming went deep into the Cold Stone Mountains and buried the ghost's body in half in a grave. The other half was cut into pieces by Ye Qianming.
After burying the ghost shadow next to Xue Qingyun, Ye Qianming looked at the family of evil cultivators, old and young, sleeping here. He didn't know what it was like, scratched his head, and left here.
Ye Qianming returned to the academy after leaving the Cold Stone Mountains. Yang Wei had a special status and it was not safe to hide anywhere. It would be safer to arrange him in the academy. However, he had to go through a selection meeting to enter the academy. Now that the convention has passed
For more than half a year, he could only think of another way.
Ye Qianming came to the Deacon Hall, but not to register the completion of the task, but to register the abandonment of the task.
Originally he thought this was just a simple mission to chase down evil cultivators, but now that he understands many of its origins and even planned a ghostly plan to ambush Xu Chang, he cannot say that he has completed the mission, otherwise the news will be revealed.
Danger.
He was not worried about the personality of the teachers in the academy, and believed that the academy was different from the Liu family. However, there were still a large number of children from aristocratic families in the academy, and their tendencies could not be guaranteed, so Ye Qianming could only give up the task.
As soon as Ye Qianming entered the deacon hall, he saw the disciple who was receiving him. The disciple was sweeping the floor. When he saw Ye Qianming coming, he quickly ran over and said.
"Senior brother, the deputy palace master asked you to meet him when you come back."
"Li Xuanye?" Ye Qianming was confused and asked, "Why does the deputy palace chief want to see me?"
The disciple looked guilty after hearing this, but under Ye Qianming's keen gaze, he still leaned into his ear and whispered: "Last time, the deputy palace master came to ask me if there was anyone to exchange for his Foundation Establishment Pill. I said casually when I replied.
Senior brother has some complaints about his elixir..."
Ye Qianming suddenly realized: "Oh, is this the reason for feelings?"
"Please blame me, senior brother, I shouldn't talk too much!"
The disciple quickly bowed and apologized to Ye Qianming, but Ye Qianming calmly helped him up.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Even if the deputy palace master is here today, I will say that his elixir is not to my liking and has nothing to do with you."
Ye Qianming comforted him, but when he saw his disciple looking at him with dull eyes, he couldn't help but wonder: "Could he be shocked by my attitude?"
After observing for a while, Ye Qianming discovered that the disciple's eyes were not looking at him, but looking behind him. At the same time, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Oh? My elixir is not to your liking. I wonder what Master Ye has to say?"
"My life is at an end!"
Ye Qianming endured the shock in his heart and turned around, and saw Li Xuanye, the sullen master and deputy master of the alchemy hall.
"I have seen the deputy palace master. The disciples talked about the deputy palace master behind his back. Please punish him..."
Seeing this, Li Xuanye waved his hand and said the same thing as Bailu Sanren: "Farewell, I still appreciate your unruly attitude, please recover."
"They are indeed a family!"
Ye Qianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he could only keep his head down, and then he heard Li Xuanye say.
"follow me."
So Ye Qianming had no choice but to follow Li Xuanye out of the Deacon Hall and go to the Alchemy Hall while receiving sympathetic and self-reproaching looks from the disciples.
Ye Qianming followed Li Xuanye along the way, and was seen by many passing disciples. They all looked at Ye Qianming with joking eyes, making him want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
After arriving at the alchemy hall, Ye Qianming temporarily forgot about the shame just now, but looked curiously at the various rooms in the alchemy hall, the alchemy furnace, and the cylindrical medicine storehouse located in the center of the lobby.
I saw that the disciples here all bowed respectfully to Li Xuanye, a second-grade alchemist, and then focused on their own alchemy, but no one cared about Ye Qianming.
Ye Qianming followed Li Xuanye all the way to the alchemy room at the bottom. This place is closest to the earth fire veins underground. The fire attribute spiritual power is very abundant. It can easily mobilize and activate the alchemist's alchemy fire, which is extremely helpful for alchemy.
Li Xuanye sat next to the alchemy furnace and looked at the honest-looking Ye Qianming. He felt funny in his heart, but he could only ask seriously.
"You said that the Foundation Establishment Pill I refined is not to your liking?"
Ye Qianming knew that a disaster was coming, but he still nodded honestly: "Although the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Master Li is good, it does not reach the level expected by the disciple..."
Ye Qianming secretly looked at Li Xuanye, expecting that he would be disdainful, but was surprised to find that Li Xuanye sighed and said.
