The two corpses at the bottom of the well have been fished out, leaving only the stumps and broken arms, which are placed piece by piece in the yard.
The stone chamber hidden underground was also found by Wen Gui.
Ke Zhao led people into the stone chamber to search for a long time, but in the end found nothing.
Everyone stood in the yard, looking at the bloodless corpse soaked in well water, looking forward to finding something.
On the courtyard wall not far away, Yu Ye sat alone, holding a jar of wine in his hand, looking calm and leisurely.
The two corpses were left behind by the two foundation-building monks he killed. Because the broken limbs fell into the depths of the ancient well, they could not be burned to destroy the traces. The other three Jindan monks and the remains in the stone chamber had long been reduced to ashes.
Wen Gui was busy, and now he was even more proud. Perhaps he was eager to find evidence, so he heard him shouting excitedly——
"Elder E, please look, this is the person that Junior Brother Yu killed. In my opinion, he must have found the whereabouts of the artifact, so he destroyed the corpse and buried the ancient well. He thought he was doing it secretly and didn't want to keep it secret. hehe!"
Zhan Kun on the side shook his head and said: "What is the deep hatred between Senior Brother Wen and Junior Brother Yu that you would do anything to harm him?"
Cheng Shi was convinced and agreed: "There is no basis for groundless speculation!
"Hey!"
Yu Ye drank the wine and laughed at the right time——
"Chili doesn't care about the life and death of his disciples, but Senior Brother Wen is anxious to get angry. I said that you joined the Seven Kills Demon Sect. I am not wronging you, am I?" He breathed out the breath of wine, and then said: "Besides, if I killed someone and found the whereabouts of the artifact. I should report it to my master in exchange for a reward, so why should I hide it? Oh..." He seemed to remember something and said, "I remember when I was guarding Pu Ze, I was attacked when I went out on patrol. I suspected that Wen Senior brother betrayed his fellow sect, but he still holds a grudge to this day. Could it be that he was right for my misfortune? It's terrible..."
"Junior brother Yu, shut up!"
Wen Gui hurriedly interrupted, patted his chest again and said, "Elder E, you know that I am loyal, but he insulted my reputation..."
"boom--"
A ball of fire rose in the courtyard, and the remains of the dead bodies on the ground were instantly reduced to ashes.
"Come on with me and search the ancient city. No matter what happens, you must report it in time. It's over—"
E'an burned the corpse, turned around and flew into the wind.
Everyone did not dare to question and dispersed.
Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi passed by Yu Ye and nodded slightly to him.
After a while, there was no one else in the yard, only Wen Gui was wandering in the same place, and Yu Ye was sitting on the wall, leaning forward, holding the wine jar high. The wine poured out of the jar and trickled down. He drank heavily and felt happy for a while.
"snort!"
Wen Gui groaned, but still did not leave. Instead, he slowly walked up to Yu Ye and said through a message: "You and I can't do anything to each other, so why don't we join forces?"
"puff--"
Yu Ye took a sip of wine and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Wen Gui stood ten feet away, with her hands behind her back, her face still full of the deceitful and philistine look of a woman, but there was a cold and unfamiliar look in her eyes.
Yu Ye put down the empty wine jar and slowly sat up straight.
E'an and many of his classmates have long gone away. Even if someone notices the movement here, they will not be suspicious, because he and Wen Gui are well-known enemies.
It was this enemy who suddenly proposed to join forces with him?
Yu Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked in an unexpected tone: "You...do you know something?"
Wen Gui stretched out his hand and twirled his beard and whispered: "You and several companions came from overseas. When passing through Buyeo Island, you killed Lai Tai and snatched the Jie Ying Dan and the God Transformation Pill. After that, you found a small fairy sect to stay, and then borrowed The machine sneaked into Tianji Gate."
"My companion refers to..."
"There may be others behind Linghu Bei, Xun Yuan, and Zhan Kun, but we don't know yet."
"Why do you think so?"
"Without the birth pill, it would be difficult for Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan to have a baby. Zhan Kun deliberately distanced himself from you, but he secretly protected you at every turn. And with your cultivation, you can't kill Lai Tai. You must have an expert.
Help, this is also what I am curious about. "
"Hey--"
Yu Ye suddenly sneered and said, "What you just said is just a cliché from Lai Mian and Chi Li. And you and I have been together for a long time and are familiar with each other, so why do you need to repeat your old tricks and waste your efforts!"
"Now that we are familiar with each other, do you know who I am?"
Wen Gui asked back, with a bit of mystery in his words.
Yu Ye looked at him for a moment and said, "You are a disciple of the Tiantong sect..."
"No!"
Wen Gui shook his head and said, "I'm from Tianfumen."
"oh……"
Yu Ye didn't expect Wen Gui to be so straightforward, so he couldn't help being slightly startled and said: "You...are you not afraid that I will report to Elder E?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Wen Gui smiled faintly and said, "Just report it, I don't think E'an will believe you!"
As long as he didn't admit his origins to everyone on the spot, no one would be able to reveal his true identity based on just one-sided words. This was the reason why he was so confident, and why did he suddenly reveal the truth?
"I sneaked into the Tianji Gate just to find out the whereabouts of the artifact, but I found that you, Zhan Kun and others had unknown origins, so I wanted to expel you all from the gate, but I always failed to do so. Instead of fighting openly and secretly, and both sides losing, why not join forces with each other and work together Welcome to the grand event!"
At this time, Wen Gui is the real Wen Gui. He is not only thoughtful, but also eloquent and good at teaching. He turned to pay attention to the situation around him and continued: "Lai Mian and Chi Li are not ordinary people, and their testimony against you is by no means groundless. You thought you were lucky, but you didn't know that it had already aroused suspicion from all parties. And I miss you. The purpose of sneaking into the Tianji Sect is for the artifact. If you and I join forces, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"What do you mean by sharing a grand event?"
"Isn't it a grand event to open the gate to the underworld that leads to the fairyland?"
"The master of deity transformation in Tianfu Sect is Senior Huang Zhuo. Are you working so hard on it, are you following his order?"
"I am under the orders of my colleagues in Yanzhou to benefit the eighteen counties in all directions!"
Although Wen Gui's voice was low, it was also sonorous and powerful.
Benefit eighteen counties in all directions?
That sounds nice!
The corner of Yu Ye's mouth curled up and he was speechless.
He did not dare to agree to Wen Gui's request easily, otherwise he would be acquiescing to his identity. But he didn't dare to refuse directly. Since Wen Gui told him the details, he must have someone to rely on. If he broke his face, there might be endless troubles.
Another thing is that he has suffered from Chili and he doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
"You are a sensible person in the field. It won't be too late to reply someday!"
Wen Gui said nothing, turned around and walked away with sword light.
Yu Ye's brows were still furrowed and his expression was tangled.
Unexpectedly, Wen Gui was so frank. And what he just said was so mixed in truth and falsehood that people couldn’t believe it and couldn’t turn a deaf ear to it!
Not only did he deduce Yu Ye's identity and the origins of Zhan Kun, Linghu Bei, and Xun Yuan, but he also deduced Hemlock and the others behind him. That guy was really shrewd. But he didn't know something. It was Xie Luozi who killed Lai Tai. At that time, the two Nascent Soul monks fought fiercely and eventually died together.
However, what is Wengui's real intention?
Is he looking for the artifact, or is he trying to find another way to set a trap and continue to deal with him in the wild?
At this moment, Yu Ye wanted to go to Zhan Kun to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of falling into the plot again.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
Although there are more and more monks in the ancient city, they still get along well with each other.
Wen Gui claimed that he had searched the south of the city, and summoned Yu Ye and Ke Zhao to rush to the north of the city to participate in the search in other areas. Yu Ye finally saw Zhan Kun and told him the truth secretly. Zhan Kun was also quite surprised. After some discussion, he suggested that he use the plan to find out Wen Gui's intentions and the movements of all parties.
More than ten days have passed.
Thousands of monks have gathered in the ancient city. After searching, although several caves and stone chambers were found, they had nothing to do with the Tianji Sect disciples back then.
An open space in the city.
Twelve disciples from the Tianji Sect gathered but returned empty-handed.
E'an seemed to have expected this and didn't mind. He ordered everyone to take a rest and then set off back to Pingwang City. However, Elder E suddenly changed his itinerary and no longer went to Fufeng City for the time being. Instead, he crossed Xuantu County and headed to Shenglong Ridge in Rinan County.
No matter where you go, just follow your orders.
While resting with Zhan Kun, Cheng Shi and others, Yu Ye whispered——
"Wen Gui is confident, don't worry..."
"Having said that, I'm afraid that you, Brother Linghu and Brother Xun will be implicated..."
"It doesn't matter if you have the materials, we have our own way to escape..."
"If the six immortal sects go to Qizhou to look for artifacts, they must be stopped..."
"Well, it's difficult..."
Zhan Kun also knows the harm caused by the six immortal sects going to Qizhou, and wants to stop it, but is helpless. Now he can only wait and see what happens. As for Wen Gui, I am not afraid of him causing harm. Since both parties have identified their identities, it may be possible to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Wen Gui was sitting not far away. He seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Junior brother Yu, I am dedicated to serving the public. If I have offended you before, I apologize!"
Yu Ye rolled his eyes, looking too lazy to pay attention.
Wen Gui turned his back angrily, but suddenly changed his voice and said, "You and Zhan Kun have been together for many days, do you have any concerns?"
Yu Ye thought for a moment and said, "How can you and I join forces?"
"You tell me the whereabouts of the artifact, and I will help you get rid of the master's suspicion..."
"Bah! You are really plotting against me!"
"Haha, I am capable of tricking you and harming you. If you suffer a loss, you will be unlucky. And if you are not extraordinarily shrewd, why would you join forces with me?"
"You and I will do our own thing without hindering each other. If something unexpected happens, we will take care of it secretly."
"Well, that's it!"
In a few words, the two parties reached an agreement.
Yu Ye and Zhan Kun exchanged looks.
Zhan Kun looked bitter and sighed softly: "Oh, I once underestimated you, brother, and now I have underestimated that Wen Gui. He is only pretending to be crazy and acting stupid to deceive others."
Yu Ye raised his head and looked into the distance.
Speaking of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, there is another real expert, but he is not here. What is the current situation of that veteran?
At this time, another group of monks came through the ruins of the city.
E'an actually stood up to greet him.
There were twenty or thirty monks, including masters of golden elixirs and strong foundation builders. The leader was a young man with handsome appearance and extraordinary momentum. He laughed happily, raised his hand and said, "This is my new disciple of the Seven Kills Sect. I am going to Shenglong Ridge with my Taoist friends from the Tianji Sect. I hope Elder E will take care of him!"
