The blue sky, the white clouds, the quiet Goose Lake, the people walking around...
Tranquility and picturesqueness.
“Hip, hip, hip, hip…”
A sudden burst of laughter broke this beautiful scene.
The floating Ye Xiaotian and Qiao Qianzhi walked side by side by the E Lake, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Every time they cheer, the people around them laugh too.
But they dared to laugh, and the people around them laughed, and everyone was panicking.
From far away, the students of Ling Palace couldn't bear it any longer. After saying "Hello, Dean" and "Hello, Elder Qiao" several times, they ran away and disappeared.
“It’s all gone and it’s quiet.”
Stop in front of the white jade railing on the move, holding on to the railing with one hand, watching the fat geese splashing in the water, and dishes after dishes passing by in my mind.
“How long have they been in there?”
Ye Xiaotian asked as he landed firmly on the ground and looked straight ahead.
However, his sight was blocked by the white jade railing, and he immediately stood on tiptoe.
have no choice.
He floated again.
“It’s been about more than half a month.”
The housewarming finger tapped on the railing and said: "Including the time it takes for Lao Xiao to send those children there and then to pick them back up. In addition, we don't know when they will come out. I guess a few and a half months will be enough.
.”
“I think it will be soon.” Ye Xiaotian disagreed with this statement.
“What do you say?” Qiao Qianzhi raised his eyes and looked up.
"look."
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand, and the sky reflected above the calm Goose Lake disappeared, replaced by ripples caused by a little raindrop falling down.
“Rain?” Qiaozhi’s eyes moved and he looked towards the sky.
The sky is clear and the clouds are white.
Where is the rain?
“Yes, it’s rain.”
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said: "This is the rain in the Eighth Palace. It only falls within the scope of the Eighth Palace. No matter how close it is to other places, it will not be affected at all."
“Is it artificial rainfall...”
Qiaozhi already realized something was wrong, "Who?"
“That’s not clear.”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head, raised his head and said: "There are too many people with water abilities in this world. At this level, you still can't tell who they are, but the problem is already very serious."
“How do you say it?” Qiao Qianzhi asked again.
With just this little rain, how serious is the problem?
“Look again.”
Ye Xiaotian touched the scene with his hand, and the picture of Ehu Lake changed again.
This time, what appeared was a middle-aged man wearing a light blue robe, with an imposing appearance, flowing black hair, and a blue-white bandage on his forehead.
He carries a golden-pink sword on his back. He is like a banished immortal, with a refined temperament and stands out from the crowd in white clothes.
"This is……"
Qiao Qianzhi’s eyes did not focus on him, but on a group of completely inconspicuous white-robed men behind the man in the picture.
“White clothes!”
The surprise of moving to a new house.
One person's temperament can actually eclipse all the white clothes in the Holy Temple?
"he……"
brush!
Before he finished speaking, the man in the picture seemed to be feeling something and looked back.
“Boom!”
The huge waves in Goose Lake were soaring into the sky, as if there was sword energy coming out, and a group of fat geese were so frightened that they flapped their wet and heavy short wings and flew around in circles.
With a "咻" sound, Ye Xiaotian retracted his hand and returned the picture.
Looking back, he had a solemn look on his face.
“Is there no moon?” Question about moving to a new house.
“Gou Wuyue.” Ye Xiaotian replied.
The two of them fell silent at the same time.
The ripples of the lake are swaying round and round, gathering and scattering clouds, and bending the sky.
One by one, the white-turned spiritual fish slowly floated up, letting the ripples of the Goose Lake push them away and swing back...
“There’s something wrong with the White Cave.”
After holding back the move for a long time, I finally said this.
"Yes."
Ye Xiaotian looked very solemn: "The communication jade I refined for those guys in the inner courtyard can no longer be sensed at all now."
“Originally, even in the White Cave, if I encountered danger, I could just pull the person out.”
"But, there is no movement at all now, it's like..."
“Everyone is imprisoned!”
“What do you mean?” Qiao Qianzhi knew Ye Xiaotian’s ability.
Even if we look at the entire continent, the space system is rare.
Even though Ye Xiaotian is currently only on the throne, in terms of the weirdness of his attributes, he even exceeds most of the slashing methods.
It is not easy to kill Ye Xiaotian's induction of the communication jade silently.
“Unless the White Cave practitioners in the inner courtyard were killed in battle at the same time, or were they trapped in a forbidden area at the same time and lost contact?” Speculation on the move.
"possible."
Ye Xiaotian was noncommittal and gave his own opinion: "But this probability is too small after all. I am more inclined to believe that all those who have experienced the White Cave have actually left the White Cave space."
“Then, under Gou Wuyue’s guard, no one can make the slightest sound to the outside world.”
“This possibility is even greater!”
The gaze of Qiaoqian became very serious: "You said it is very possible, but why did the Holy Temple do this? As soon as the person comes out, shouldn't they notify all parties and the spiritual palace in time to pick him up?"
Ye Xiaotian's body floated a little higher and started to rotate leisurely.
“Theoretically, this is naturally the case.”
"But if something changes in the White Cave, for example, if some major suspects enter, before the matter is settled, those who have experienced it will all be suspected."
“Of course, they can’t send a message.”
“And Gou Wuyue was able to lead so many white clothes to the White Cave. Previously, all of us thought that he was just helping to capture the sealed ghost beasts, but now it seems that it is too nonsense.”
Ye Xiaotian put his hands behind his hands and pondered for a moment, with some hesitation in his eyes, and slowly spoke:
“If they came from the Central Region chasing the storyteller but lost their way halfway, then Gou Wuyue and the others’ target should still be the Saint Slave.”
“From this point of view, it is possible that not only the Storyteller entered the White Cave, but also the Holy Slaves. It is estimated that there are many people inside.”
"This can explain why Gou Wuyue doesn't have enough people, so he has to continue to call for people to come over to support him."
“Support?” Qiao Qianzhi was shocked when he heard this.
"right."
Ye Xiaotian smiles.
“Otherwise you think I’m going to show you what the rain is doing?”
“Does it look like it will rain in the Eighth Palace?”
He pointed at E Lake and said: "This picture has been hanging at my funeral site, but suddenly it changed two days ago. I had a premonition that something was wrong."
"Then what are you waiting for?" He said, anxious to move to another house, "Those are all children, go find them quickly!"
"hold on."
Ye Xiaotian clasped his hands unmoved and looked in another direction.
Looking after the move.
The two of them didn't wait long.
In about the time it took to burn the incense, I saw an open-minded young man running out of breath not far away.
This man was holding a piece of grass stuck between his teeth.
In one breath, he flashed in front of the two of them from a distance.
“Dean, Elder Qiao...huh!” He leaned on his knees and gasped.
“Zhao Xidong?”
The brows moved as he moved: "Are you back?"
Ever since he was assigned the task in the hut last time, Zhao Xidong has been running around, collecting evidence in various places.
Since this period of time, I have basically never seen him.
Come back now...
“Have you collected everything?” Ye Xiaotian asked.
.
Zhao Xidong swallowed hard, opened his mouth, and smoke came out of his throat.
Qi Qian threw a kettle over, and the latter took a few sips, and then said with relief: "We have collected everything, but the information is somewhat explosive, so you must be mentally prepared."
The two people in front of them narrowed their eyes and raised their eyebrows.
They knew that Zhao Xidong would definitely bring something during this trip.
And if it is as they had guessed before, Old Man Nasang...
“This, this, this, and this…”
Zhao Xidong waved his hand involuntarily, and a dozen jade slips suddenly appeared in the void.
He puffed up his cheeks, smoothed his breath, and then said: "These are the information I recently found about the previous deputy dean's travels to various walks of life. They have been sorted out. You can take a look."
“Then, let me summarize it first.”
Ye Xiaotian and Qiao Qianzhi each picked up a jade slip, their hands stopped in mid-air, and they looked over.
Zhao Xidong looked very stressed. He shook his head to wake himself up and then said:
“Sixteen years ago, Wuyue Sword Immortal led a group of people in white to destroy a large stronghold of a dark force in the central region. The details of what force it was and who it fought against were not revealed.”
“But the intelligence I collected shows that Wuyue Sword Immortal was injured in that battle.”
"And the leader of that stronghold seems to be a fire-type ability user, suspected of...the power of the embers, called Wu Xiu, and if nothing else, he is the second-in-command of the Holy Slave."
.
The jade slip in Ye Xiaotian's hand was pinched and cracked.
His eyes paused, and he raised his hand and put the jade slip between his eyebrows.
After sweeping through it with spiritual thoughts, the jade slips shattered into powder.
The pupils of the housewarming are a little trembling.
He didn’t expect the first piece of information to be so explosive. He carefully put the jade slip down and said, “Continue.”
"Um."
Zhao Xidong secretly glanced at the dean's face, not daring to look again, and said to himself: "At the same time, our spiritual palace was still in its infancy, and the vice-dean was also the first-generation dean at that time."
“Theoretically, he doesn’t have that much time to leave the spiritual palace.”
“I didn’t think about it at first, but later I found out that in the months before and after that period, the vice-president was not in the spiritual palace many times.”
“And at the time when the Moonless Sword Immortal destroyed the Saint Slave stronghold in the Central Territory, he was on a business trip for a long time.”
“You should be more aware of this. The application conditions for the Spiritual Palace are very strict, and the various procedures and procedures caused the dean at that time, also the deputy dean, to go to the headquarters of the Holy Temple in person.”
“And the headquarters of the Holy Temple is in the Central Region.”
Zhao Xidong stopped the car in time.
Looking up again, I found that the two people in front of me already had calm expressions on their faces, and I couldn't help but feel confident.
Did you just lose your composure for just a moment...
"continue."
“Oh oh.”
Zhao Xidong did not impose his own inference without authorization.
He knows that his duty is to list the collected information, nothing more.
"After that period of time, the Vice-President's temper... Well, how should I put it, he was quite irritable... Ahem, let me be more direct, huh?" Zhao Xidong asked.
"But it doesn't matter." Ye Xiaotian didn't care. He only focused on what Mr. Sang had done in these years.
"Uh-huh."
Zhao Xidong continued: "Although he is quite irritable to begin with, he will not personally violate the rules he has set."
“But taking the above-mentioned period as the dividing point, the vice-president’s temper has undergone a clear change.”
“The most direct feedback is that I have repeatedly violated the rules of the Spiritual Palace and ignored the notices from the Holy Temple.”
“Finally, after injuring an unruly inner court disciple…”
Zhao Xidong felt a bit toothache from saying these words, but he still said firmly: "He will really become the vice president."
"Um."
Ye Xiaotian nodded calmly.
He has experienced these things before.
It only takes one memory to connect them completely.
“Then what?” Qiao Qianzhi asked.
Zhao Xidong said: "After becoming the vice president, he basically focused only on alchemy. During that period of time, he established the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion in the Ling Palace well and won unanimous praise from the elders."
“But according to my investigation, during that long period of time, among the discarded elixirs in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, healing medicines were the most numerous, and they were basically of the highest quality!”
“The vice-dean is also the vice-president of the Tiansang City Alchemist Association, and he has studied the alchemy formula together with Shiti many times.”
“The most direct feedback is the improvement of the ‘Rejuvenation Pill’ and the development of Chaiyan Pill, the most respected healing pill among fire-based spiritualists.”
Ye Xiaotian and Cen Qiaofu nodded at the same time.
Chai Yan Dan and the others know that it is a sixth-grade healing medicine, at the master level.
The price is not high.
But even for the fire-based spiritual refiner at the peak of the throne, it has an excellent healing effect and is extremely cost-effective.
They all remember that the Tiansang Ling Palace relied on the advent of this elixir and the cooperation with the Alchemist Association to directly solve the funding problem for the early and mid-term development of the Ling Palace and made countless profits.
But, what can the sixth-grade elixir mean?
Zhao Xidong knew what they were thinking and said: "The evolved version of the sixth-grade Chaiyan Pill is the third-grade 'Zhaoyang Pill'."
“The reason why Zhaoyang Pill is rare is because no one knows its recipe.”
“But I used the name of the vice-president to communicate with the president of the division, and used some subtle tricks, and he implicitly admitted it.”
“One of the main medicinal ingredients of Zhaoyang Dan is something rare in the world, Jinzhao Liquid!”
Now Ye Qiao could not stand still.
Ember Illumination Liquid is something unique to the White Cave that can only be produced by the brains of the White Skulls.
The last time Kebai Cave was opened was only a few years ago.
The timing of the appearance of Zhaoyang Pill was too early.
This cannot be explained at all!
Zhao Xidong took a deep breath and said word by word: "The embers shine on the prison sea."
Ye Qiao and Ye Qiao looked stiff.
“Dean, Elder Qiao, you should know.”
“The vice-chancellor grew up because of the words of his master in the Holy Palace and the experience of breaking into the Jingzhao Hell Sea alone.”
“As for the White Cave, according to my investigation, it is basically a weakened version of the Jingzhao Hell Sea.”
Zhao Xidong was speechless. He seemed to be still frightened by the shocking information he saw for the first time. He pondered and said:
“I won’t go into details. Anyway, the relationship between the Four Swords, the White Cave, and the Jizhao Hell Sea has been engraved on the jade slips. You can learn more about it later.”
"In general, after the battle between Wu Xiu, the second-in-command of the Saint Slave in the Central Region, and Wu Yue Sword Immortal, like a butterfly effect, he, the vice-president of the Little Tiansang Ling Palace in the Eastern Region, started taking healing medicine
The process of improvement.”
“But these still can’t explain anything.”
“But there is one more thing...”
Zhao Xidong watched the reactions of the two people in front of him and said cautiously: "You must have heard about the attack on Wuyue Sword Immortal in Qinglong County a few days ago?"
"Um."
Ye Qiao both responded at the same time.
Qinglong County is far away from here, and they have never tried to understand it, so naturally they don’t know the inside story.
But at this moment, Zhao Xidong asked this question.
The problem is huge.
“Is it also related?” asked the urgent question.
“Yes, big connection!”
Zhao Xidong took another sip and said: "There was one person from Qinglong County who attacked Wuyue Sword Immortal, and there was another person who responded."
“Let’s not talk about the latter for now, but the attacker showed powerful fire ability.”
"I went to the site to explore. Although the traces have been wiped away, the smell of embers was something I experienced deeply when I was still in the inner courtyard. I can't get rid of it."
“It’s the enhanced version of the vice president!”
Zhao Xidong's voice was very powerful: "Not many people in the world have the power of Jinzhao. Even Xu Xiaoshou couldn't achieve that level in the White Cave."
“The vice president is not that strong and cannot do it.”
“Then, there is only one last person left, the Half-Saint Ji Zhao from the Holy Palace, who is also the master of the Vice-President!”
Ye Qiao and Ye Qiao were stunned at the same time.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Qiu Qianzhi directly yelled: "Jin Zhao Semi-Saint will come out to attack Wuyue Sword Immortal, what nonsense are you kidding?"
Zhao Xidong pulled the pain mask and wiped the saliva from his face, and said helplessly: "You also know that it is impossible, so there is only one result."
“The attacker is the deputy dean of Tiansang Ling Palace, who we all thought was only powerful enough to hold the throne, but in fact has already returned to the all-powerful realm in the Central Region, and is also the second-in-command of the Saint Slave Wu Xiu!”
