Ye Ling changed into a blue shirt, put on a forbidden hat, drove the fourth-level demon dragon, and flew straight to the northwest.
During Ye Ling's twenty-day retreat, the case of Shuifu Yundong, the Cao family's ancestral property in Donglingze, shocked the entire Cao family. Even everyone in the streets of Fengqiao Town was talking about it, and the news spread rapidly. pass.
The head of the Cao family is undoubtedly at the forefront of the storm and has been suffering a lot these days. If the ancestor of the Cao family, who is traveling abroad, learns that the ancient painting scroll that is the treasure of the cave left by his ancestor is missing, even he will not be able to escape the blame!
On that day, according to the news brought back by the eldest lady Cao Zhen, there were many monks who were invited to practice in the secret realm of Shuifu. In addition to the servants of the Cao family she led and the elite disciples of the Yuxu Sect, there were also the Lu sisters and Bai Qiu of the Fengchi Sect. and others, Yuan Hao and others from the Yaogu Sect, Ye Ling, the top disciple of the Yaogu Sect, Wei Tong, the second disciple of the Yuncang Sect, and the Han family monks headed by Han Junhong.
The only people who could keep Cao Zhen safe were her own servants and a few people led by Yuan Hao. The rest were suspected of stealing paintings, and even Bai Qiu, who led the crowd out of the secret realm of Shuifu in advance, could not avoid it.
Because in Miss Cao's eyes, Bai Qiu was restless and a thief who once wanted to steal the essence of water, so Bai Qiu and other female cultivators from the Fengchi Sect were also included in the Cao Mansion's investigation.
After that, the Cao family of great immortal cultivators did not dare to touch the bad luck of the Lu family, the largest cultivator of immortality in the local area, and they did not dare to question the Lu family's third lady Lu Xinmei and fourth lady Lu Xuezhu.
With this level of concern, the Cao family did not question the Lu sisters. Instead, they first captured Han Junhong, a disciple of Yuxu Sect and Han Junhong, a middle-level immortal cultivator of the Han family.
After all, the Cao Mansion and the Yuxu Sect are both located in the north of Fengqiao Town, and they often interact with each other on weekdays. Cao Zhen is not only the eldest lady of the Cao family, but also the senior sister of the Yuxu Sect. She captures and interrogates elite disciples of the Yuxu Sect. Nothing.
The Han family's moderate cultivating family has limited power in Maple Bridge Town, and their arms cannot twist the thighs. Usually, the only ones who follow the lead of the Cao family are the big cultivating families. Now that such a big thing happened in the Cao Mansion, the Han family was forced to have no choice but to send the eldest son Han Junhong away.
However, according to Yuxu Sect disciples, Han Junhong and his servants, they were innocent. They found no ancient painting scrolls at all when they entered the cave, only forbidden formations that were forcibly broken everywhere. And before them, it was the team of the Lu sisters that broke into Shuifu Cloud Cave first! At that time, there were also Wei Tong and Ye Ling in their team.
This put the head of the Cao family in a difficult position. Seeing that they all spoke the same words and swore to each other, no one could tell if they had not colluded in advance.
Therefore, the head of the Cao family detained these people and made up his mind to send the jade slips of worship to the Lu family. At the same time, the jade slips were also sent to Yun Cang Sect and Yao Gu Sect, ordering the two sect masters to arrest their disciples Wei Tong and Ye Ling and bring them to justice.
The jade slip of greetings arrived at the Lu family's great cultivator family, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. It made everyone in the Cao family look dull, but they did not dare to say anything more. As for the jade slips sent to the Yuncang Sect, they were also blocked by the protective head of the Yuncang Sect, who claimed that Wei Tong had not seen any ancient painting scrolls, and said that the two rich ladies of the Lu family could testify.
When the jade slips of worship were delivered to the Yaogu Sect, the sect leader Zhao Yuanzhen frowned and secretly thought that although Ye Ling was the eldest disciple of his appointed sect, his cultivation level was very limited. How could it be related to the treasured ancient painting scroll of the Cao Mansion? Related? Sect Master Zhao also specially sent people to Dong Lingze and met Elder Song and Elder Xuanqing. They both said that they had not seen Ye Ling in the past few days.
The Yaogu Sect has always been focused on collecting herbs and refining elixirs. It is the weakest sect among the five sects around Fengqiao Town. It cannot afford to offend the Cao family, so the leader of the Zhao family went to the Cao Mansion in person to pay a visit. He only said that he had not I found Ye Ling and told him that Ye Ling's cultivation level was too low and it was impossible to seize the Cao family's ancestral treasure of the cave. Please be patient and calm.
The head of the Cao family became more and more suspicious that the two richest daughters of the Lu family, who were the most powerful and financially powerful among the Qi Practitioners, were responsible for stealing the ancient painting scrolls. However, without conclusive evidence, he did not dare to point the finger at the Lu family easily. At this point, the head of the Cao family can only continue to put pressure on the head of the Yun Cang family, and then send family monks to search for Ye Ling's whereabouts deep in Donglingze.
Ye Ling didn't know all this, but he could figure it out. After all, the Cao family had lost a valuable treasure and would not let it go. They would definitely send someone to inspect Dong Lingze.
Therefore, Ye Ling paid special attention to everything along the way, keeping an eye on all the movements along the way.
The demonic dragon carried Ye Ling and flew a hundred miles away, leaving the mountains and forests behind.
You can see mountains and swamps everywhere, mountains upon mountains, ridges upon ridges, intertwined river networks, and lakes one after another. Ye Ling was flying on Xingtou on the demon dragon when he suddenly saw a group of people walking on the edge of a canyon in front of him. Judging from their clothes, they were the servants of the Cao Mansion!
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed, he immediately pressed down the faucet and chased after him. In his opinion, all foundation-building monks walking around Dong Lingze must be flying around with sword lights or flying magic weapons; only monks in the late stage of Qi training will travel in groups in Dong Lingze. walk.
Just as the fourth-order demon dragon flew down, the servants of the Cao Mansion in the canyon suddenly raised their heads and saw the flying dragon in the sky. They were very surprised, and they all said in confusion:
"Look! The aqua blue demonic dragon! It seems to be very similar to the one the eldest lady has talked about!"
"Ah? It's also the fourth level. Is it really the dragon that haunts the secret realm of Shuifu?"
"You can't go wrong! The whole body is aqua blue. A demonic dragon like this is very rare around our Maple Bridge Town!"
When these servants of the Cao family saw the fourth-order demon dragon at first sight, they almost forgot the fear in their hearts and shouted excitedly, as if they were happy that the family master had finally found a clue, although this clue seemed to be related to Shuifu Yundong. The ancient painting scrolls in it have nothing to do with it.
But in the blink of an eye, when they saw a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a blue shirt standing on top of the demonic dragon, these servants of the Cao family seemed to have seen a sinister spirit, and their faces were full of horror!
"No! The person driving the demonic dragon could be the blue-shirted monk who killed Yuxu Sect monks and Han family monks as the eldest lady said! He is also wearing a bamboo hat, so similar!"
"I heard from the brothers of Yuxu Sect that this is the way they are dressed. It's absolutely right! Run! The murderous devil is here!"
All the Cao monks fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.
Ye Ling was both angry and amused when he saw it. It was because after the disguise, the influence was even greater. It seemed that the name of the monk in blue was much louder!
"You guys, stop for me!" Ye Ling lowered his voice, pretending to be hoarse and deep, and shouted coldly.
