The spring breeze blew for three days, but it could not blow away the heavy smell of blood on the streets.
That night finally ended with Ye Qinghuan breaking through and killing Wang Wenxiu.
The youngest seven-level expert in the Great Chu Dynasty was born on a spring night under the waning moon.
The news spread throughout Beiliang Mansion on the second day, and then spread to even more distant places.
Qinggu has been silent for three days, and the quietest place is the Ye Mansion.
That night, everyone in the Ye family got the news, and everyone sat in front of the ancestral hall, looking at each other in silence. Everyone knows that the Ye family will usher in the final reckoning. Whether it was ten years ago or a few days ago, the Ye family will eventually receive retribution for their actions.
In the past three days, the Ye family's property in Qinggu was constantly being eroded. The Qin family and the Lin family, the two largest families in Qinggu, will not miss this opportunity, and those who want to catch up with the Ye family will not miss the opportunity to drink soup and eat meat.
In the Ye family ancestral hall, Ye Tianfeng was helpless. Opposite him were still Ye Chong, Ye Liang, and the direct descendants of the Ye family.
Ye Chong returned to the Ye family that night. From then on, Ye Zhong said nothing and just watched with cold eyes, watching everyone in the Ye family arguing. Seeing the more these people quarreled, Ye Chong felt more pity in his heart.
It's really pitiful, always surviving by begging.
Ye Tianfeng was tired of hearing these quarrels. He looked at Ye Chong. Perhaps the key to letting the Ye family survive this crisis lies with Ye Chong.
"That's enough!" Ye Tianfeng said. "Either go out and kill those who seek to seize the Ye family's property, or shut up and stay here quietly."
Tranquility returned to the ancestral hall, with countless candles swaying, countless figures shaking, and those voices disappearing in the smoke.
Ye Tianfeng's eyes swept across the crowd, and those people lowered their heads one after another. Ye Tianfeng became more and more disappointed. At this moment, he realized that in times of crisis, there was no one available in the Ye family.
Finally, Ye Tianfeng sighed deeply and turned his gaze to Ye Zhong.
"Ye Chong, tell me, what should our Ye family do now?"
Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Chong. At this time, they remembered that Ye Chong was the head of the Ye family.
Ye Liang also said: "Brother, please say something. Our Ye family is about to be unable to survive in Qinggu, so you should think of a way!"
"We shouldn't have asked Ye Qinghuan to come back in the first place. Now there is an additional enemy. What should we do?"
Ye Zhong glanced at Ye Liang and said calmly: "Go to Kyoto and find Ye Qinghuan. It was Ye Liang's suggestion at the beginning. It was also Ye Liang's idea to give Ye Qinghuan a blow. Tell me, why did Ye Qinghuan refuse to enter the Ye Mansion? "
Ye Liang was furious and wanted to refute, but heard Ye Zhong continue: "Father, in my opinion, the Ye family can just break up. There is nothing wrong with it."
After saying that, Ye Zhong bowed three times to the tablet on the ancestral hall, then turned and walked out of the ancestral hall.
"You..." Ye Liang pointed at Ye Zhong's back, "Dad, look at him..."
Ye Tianfeng's old eyes slowly closed, not knowing what he was thinking. And the Ye family ancestral hall once again fell into endless quarrels.
...
In three days, Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan also disappeared for three days.
In a small town in the Shiwanda Mountains, there are many thatched houses in the town. You can rent them for more than half a month for not much money.
Yu Zhi held a few pieces of firewood and carefully lit a fire. Within a moment, the flames started to burst out.
Yu Zhi threw a few sweet potatoes into the fire. After doing all this, he looked towards one of the thatched houses.
Wang Dafu on the side saw this and said: "Master Yu, Master Ye has his own destiny, and everything will be fine."
After that night, Ye Qinghuan successfully entered the seventh level of Kaibei, but he has been in a coma until now, with no sign of waking up. This made Yu Zhi's heart clenched and still couldn't let go.
Wei Wuji also spoke: "Master Ye, he has just broken through and is in an unstable state of mind. He can only wait for him to get through this disaster on his own. Outsiders can't help him much."
Yu Zhi asked: "Master Hou, were you like this when you broke through?"
Wei Wuji shook his head and said: "The seventh level of the Open Monument is different from other realms. Once you step into the seventh level, it is another level of martial arts. Everyone has different circumstances. Mr. Ye suffered extreme grief when he broke through. It is his fate, but also his opportunity. If he can overcome it, his swordsmanship will be far better than before."
Yu Zhi seemed to understand, but after all, he had never experienced this stage.
After Yan Yi brought Yu Zhi and others here, he disappeared again. He came and went without a trace, still carrying a bit of mystery.
Yu Zhi didn't care either. Several rescues were enough to prove that this mysterious woman in Tsing Yi had no other evil thoughts towards him.
Immediately, Yu Zhi asked again: "Master Hou, do you know the owner of Cangshan Mountain? Have you ever beaten him?"
Wei Wuji looked at Yu Zhi, God knows what this guy is planning, does he still want to attack Cangshan Mountain?
He thought for a while and said: "The current owner of Cangshan Mountain is named Cangbieli. Twenty years ago, he was also a famous monster in Beiliang Mansion. However, after the sect turmoil that year, Cangbieli rarely appeared in the world. In his eyes. Fifteen years ago, it was said that he had stepped into the ninth level of the Open Monument. Now the rumors from the outside world are even worse. Most of them say that Cang Bieli is close to the half-step master and may be able to take the final step and become the next tenth level. Grandmaster."
Yu Zhi said calmly: "So the Marquis shouldn't be able to defeat him, right?"
Isn't this obvious? You have to ask? ...Wei Wuji felt depressed, "I'm not his opponent for the time being."
Yu Zhi continued: "Master Hou, I need something from Cangshan. I wonder if there is any way to get it?"
Wang Wenxiu is dead, and Ye Qinghuan's revenge can be regarded as coming to an end. Next, Yu Zhi set out to retrieve the Biluo Qingyan from Cangshan Mountain, which was the key to rescuing Li Wantong. Even in the face of numerous difficulties and dangers, such as the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, Yu Zhi had to go there.
Wei Wuji asked: "Master Yu, what do you want?"
Yu Zhi used a piece of wood to turn over the sweet potato in the fire, then looked at Wei Wuji and said, "The blue and green flames of Cangshan Mountain."
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then showed a sad face and said: "This is the most precious treasure of Cangshan Mountain. It is very difficult to get it, even harder than climbing to the sky."
Yu Zhi also nodded and sighed: "I also know that this is difficult. But there is a reason why I have to do this."
The three of them were silent, and Yu Zhi had some ideas in his mind, "Since taking it by force is not an option, we can only... steal it."
Wei Wuji immediately said: "No. Cangshan's defenses are extremely tight. Biluo Qingyan has always been deep in Cangshan. Not only are the elders and disciples on duty day and night, but also the sect's formation is guarding them. Outsiders can't even get close to Biluo Qingyan, just take a look. It’s all delusional.”
Yu Zhi already knew about these. After Yu Zhuyue told Yu Zhi that Cangshan's Biluo Qingyan was needed to treat Li Wantong, he still kept this matter in his mind.
"Master Marquis, do you think that with my qualifications, I can become a disciple of Cangshan?" Yu Zhi asked.
Wei Wuji seemed to understand something and said: "With the talent of the young master, it is natural that he can successfully enter Cangshan Mountain. What is missing now is an opportunity."
Yu Zhi smiled and said: "Master Hou, I don't know something. In a few days there will be a sect competition, and during the competition, the Northern Sect will start to recruit new disciples. This is my opportunity."
Yu Zhi started planning this a long time ago. To seize Cangshan's treasure, even if Li Haomiao comes, it won't be easy. Then take advantage of the other party not knowing his purpose, sneak in secretly, and wait for the opportunity.
Wei Wuji was worried and persuaded: "Master, if your identity is discovered by Cangshan, it will be extremely dangerous. I think this matter needs to be planned again."
Yu Zhi shook his head. He knew Wei Wuji's good intentions, "It depends on people. Since I want to do this, I must have a reason to do it. In addition, I also need Master Hou to help me do something."
.......
In the courtyard of a paint-peeling palace in Kyoto, the powerful Li Xiuyuan held a letter in his hand.
Li Xiuyuan did not receive a letter from Beiliang Mansion for several days. Today, news finally came from the north, but it didn't come from the six killers in black, and it wasn't about Li Wantong.
Li Xiuyuan threw the letter into the brazier and looked out the window at the willow branches that were about to sprout.
He knew that the black-clad assassin he had sent was dead, the first time this had happened in many years. This also made Li Xiuyuan pay attention to those around Li Wantong.
But the night ghost who attacked and killed Prince Xiao Jingyao... Why did the night ghost appear in Beiliang Mansion?
Why did Night Ghost want to assassinate Xiao Jingyao?
Are these ghost things related to the third prince?
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan seemed to be standing in a whirlpool, with countless confusions in his heart. He doesn't like this feeling of being in the dark, it makes him feel very insecure.
Li Xiuyuan adjusted his robe. Just as he finished all this, the servant's voice came from outside the door.
"Master, the palace summons you."
Li Xiuyuan took his time and looked at the bronze mirror again to make sure he was neat and tidy before walking out.
When he received the summons from Beiliang Mansion, it also meant that people in the palace also knew about these things. The prince was assassinated, and the killer was the taboo of Da Chu - Night Ghost. Both of these are enough to arouse the nerves of Emperor Chu.
As the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, Li Xiuyuan naturally wanted to meet the Holy Spirit to relieve His Majesty's worries.
It's just that he hasn't figured out how to resolve this sorrow.
This is not a flood in the south. It can be solved by spending more money.
It's not a war in the north. Sending more troops can also quell the chaos.
There are rules and regulations for these things, and you can do whatever you want, but now the prince is being assassinated, and ghosts are haunting him at night.
This is something that will shake the foundation of Da Chu, especially the appearance of Night Ghost in Da Chu, which means that turmoil will arise and the world will become unstable again.
On the road, not only Li Xiuyuan, but also many sedans and carriages were rushing towards the imperial city.
Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes and rested his mind, not in a hurry. He understood the temper of Emperor Chu. The more anxious he was, the more he needed someone who was not anxious. Perhaps, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu already had a countermeasure.
