The weapon refining room was dimly lit by fire, but no one could be seen.
Fahai, the man in black, did not sense the breath of any living creature.
Fireworks filled the Cloud-Tunning Cauldron, the pagoda cauldron cover was suspended in mid-air, the blue sword embryo in the cauldron body, and the faint blue light in the flames added a bit of weirdness.
Just as the man in black was about to withdraw, a strong force suddenly came from his back and pushed him into the stone room.
Xue Tong closed the thick door of the refining room, "Where did it come from?"
The sea of consciousness of the man in black was completely blank, the person in front of him had no sense of breath, and the strength just now was even more irresistible, it was simply unfathomable.
The cold light in Xue Tong's eyes made the man in black tremble, "Ye Hede, the weapon refiner elder of Shenglong Sect"
"Come to kill Yang Shijie?"
Ye Hede was stunned. He really couldn't figure out the situation. What was the relationship between the person in front of him and Yang Shijie.
"Why do you want to kill Yang Shijie?"
Xue Tong's tone seemed to be talking about another person.
"Yang Shijie is good at refining soil, and Ye wants to learn his refining skills..."
Ye Hede stopped talking mid-sentence.
A huge amount of divine-level spiritual pressure impacted his Fa Hai.
"I, Xue Tong, can kill you with just one finger."
While he was talking, Xue Tong's innocent fingers were already touching Ye Hede's forehead.
Ye Hede had no qualms about going to the governor's house to kill people, which shows that he is cruel and domineering. Such people often know the consequences of disobedience.
Xue Tong was famous, and Ancestor Shenglong had obtained five of his spiritual trees. How could Ye Hede not know about it?
He calmed down for a moment, and immediately replied: "What is Xue Tianren's order?"
"Take this poison pill first!"
In Xue Tong's palm, there was a green pill with a faint fishy smell.
Ye Hede opened his mouth and sucked it in without hesitation.
"Well, Elder Ye is very aware of current affairs. I will give you one year to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Zichun and inform me secretly."
"Otherwise, it will become poisonous at the end of the term, and it will be difficult for gods to save him." Xue Tong said.
"Ye must do his best, but even though I am a weapon-refining elder, I am not qualified to approach the ancestor and cannot know his itinerary." Ye Hede said with a bitter face.
There was a dull pain in his stomach, and the poison was slowly taking over.
"That's your business!"
Xue Tong took the real poison, scraped a small spoonful of bone powder from the poisonous bone, and mixed it with the sixth-grade detoxifying elixir.
Most toxins can be decomposed, but the most powerful corolla centipede poison in bone meal cannot be eradicated, and the toxin concentration will slowly increase.
There are many talented people in the Shenglong Sect, and there must be someone who can detoxify the earthworm, but it takes courage for Ye Hede to dare to give it a try.
Unless he cooperates with Zichun, confesses completely, and deals with the two masters.
"I killed Zichun, and detoxification is not a problem. I will share half of the treasure with you." Xue Tong said again.
In addition to the threat of poison, he also needed heavy rewards and inducements. Even so, Xue Tong estimated that the possibility of Ye Hede's sincere cooperation was at most 50%.
"What if the grudge with Zichun cannot be settled due to senior reasons?" Ye Hede asked worriedly.
"To detoxify you, I will think of another way. Everything will be treated as if it never happened."
"Okay! It's settled, Ye will return to Longshan right now."
"Well, I will clean up the mess and kill Qi Lun. You recommend your confidants to serve as supervisors. Yang Shijie is proficient in alchemy, which is a ready reason.
As a weapon-refining elder, Ye Hede recommended it to the Outer Sect Supervisor. It was a piece of cake, not to mention that Xue Tong had already thought of a good reason for him.
"Yeah, great idea, senior!" Ye Hede hurriedly left.
Xue Tong sneaked into Qi Lun's courtyard.
Qi Lun was at his desk, flipping through his books, when the door opened without any wind, and "Yang Shijie" stood at the door.
Qi Lun was shocked and angry, "How dare a dog break in?!... Then he suddenly realized, his hair stood on end, how did Yang Shijie come in without making a sound?
Xue Tong's heavenly spiritual pressure made him completely understand.
"Qi Lun, you could have lived a few more years, but Xue Tong had other plans, so I will send you to the underworld." Xue Tong said coldly.
"Xue Tong?..."
Qi Lun suddenly realized it and pressed the bottom of the table secretly.
"boom!"
Half of the ground collapsed, and Qi Lun plummeted. The wall panel behind him flipped, and more than a hundred iron crossbows fired.
Xue Tong rolled around!
The Gang Demon Qi layer rolls out like a blade.
He punched the black shadow falling into the hole with his fist.
"Bang" the black shadow turned into a rain of blood, and all the iron crossbows were retracted.
Qi Lun has been in charge of the three cities for decades and has confiscated a lot of spiritual objects, all of which went into Xue Tong's pocket.
…
The investigation lasted for half a month, and as expected, the candidate recommended by Ye Hede became the new supervisor.
Xue Tong arranged a lot of vigilance to prevent Ye Hede from defecting to Zichun.
In the meantime, he went to Xu Jing and met Zhan Fei.
Zhan Hui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Yang Shijie was nowhere to be seen, and the Xuan Weapon Shop was closed for a year. Rumors were that it was the governor's house's idea, and the news came from the original nursing home of the Yang house.
How dare he ask, he had to wait until Xue Tong came to the door.
"Where are the water samples? How many places were checked?" Xue Tong asked.
"Two hundred and eighty-six lakes and deep pools, seventy-five bags of water samples were taken."
"Okay, fellow Daoist Dao Xiangzhan, something happened in the governor's office recently. You and I should not meet again until we refine the magic weapon and broad sword."
After May.
Xue Tong refined an earth-level sword and handed it over to Shenglong Sect.
A few days later, Xue Tong was invited to the weapon refining site.
Ye Hede finally took action.
…
Thang Long Mountain.
Thang Long has more than 600,000 followers, nearly half of whom live within a few hundred miles of the main mountain.
The carriage of the Governor's Mansion was interrogated early, and the owner of the refinery's post was used to make it all the way to a mountain two hundred miles away from the main peak.
Shenglong Refining Field.
Ye Hede is the third eldest and the master of the weapon refining field.
The owner of the field had a sinister look in his eyes, Xue Tongshan smiled and avoided it with side eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Yang is good at weapons. He De recommends you to be an outer sect weapon master and enjoy the benefits of being a steward. Are you interested?"
"Thanks for your favor, Yang is honored and willing." Xue Tong said hurriedly.
"Okay, you have registered, and you will be stationed permanently in Yangshan from now on. There are ten outer sect masters there, and they have already vacated the best room." The owner said.
Xue Tong couldn't object, so he had to agree.
After the formalities were completed, Ye Hede summoned him alone.
"Senior has refined two earthly treasures, and it is no longer possible to stay in the Governor's Mansion. Ye simply made a recommendation."
"Well, how did you go about asking about it?"
"The ancestor is practicing in the back mountain, and no one is seen except the leader. Ye wants to remind the seniors that the owner is collecting a large amount of refining soil and will start to do it soon. By then, the Taoist priest's identity will inevitably be exposed."
"It's better to detoxify this junior and stay away from the dangerous place of right and wrong." Ye Hede said.
"Xue wants to kill Zichun and take back the spiritual tree to tell the world. Don't be an enemy of me. All the spiritual trees will be returned to their original places!"
"It's about Jiong Yuan Dan, there's no way out."
"Hurry up and ask around, don't think about good things." Xue Tong said with a serious face.
Ye Hede was extremely disappointed, and then said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible or not."
"The Taoist priest has become an outer sect steward-level weapon master, which can be regarded as a bit of status. It is better to ask to see the ancestor in the name of offering treasures and find a job as an outer sect elder."
Ye Hede had already had an idea. If his first plan failed, he made another plan.
"Outer sect elder?" Xue Tong asked in disbelief.
"Well, the appointment of a supervisor only requires a word from the leader, and the elders need to discuss with the deputy leader. This is not a problem at all. The key senior's innate cultivation level is too low, and the special promotion requires the nod of the ancestor." Ye Hede said.
"Well, let me think about it, how is the poison in your body?"
Ye Hede's wrist tightened and he couldn't move. Xue Tong cut the blood vessel and took a blood sample.
The Qu family's poison test stick is still there, Xue Tong tested the poison blood, and the scale is five.
"Well, the toxin concentration is normal. It seems you didn't dare to do anything bad." Xue Tong nodded.
"How dare you?" Ye Hede smiled bitterly.
…
The day after Xue Tong moved into Yangshan, the owner of the refinery immediately sent someone to deliver a complete set of refining materials and some tempered soil, and ordered the sword to be made.
After that, every ten days and a half, he would come to Yangshan to inspect, and intentionally or unintentionally asked about the techniques for using clay.
On this day, Xue Tong packed up and went to see Ye Hede.
"Just follow Fellow Daoist Ye's plan and solve it as soon as possible. The sword embryo is about to be made, and the owner of the field will soon forcefully ask for the technique."
"I'll arrange it now." Ye Hede beamed with joy.
After meeting the leader, he took Xue Tong up to Shenglong Mountain.
The leader of the religion, Hong Zhenfu, showed no joy or anger in his early days as a heavenly being.
Most of Xue Tong's magic power was used to suppress Fahai. In front of the heavenly being, there was a high chance that his true cultivation would be exposed.
"It's good that you are willing to take the initiative to offer the treasure. This will prevent the scroll from being connected to the soul and making it difficult to snatch and process."
"But it's too greedy to be an elder. Let's be the inner sect supervisor first. I can appoint him now." Hong Zhenfu said.
"Junior... I have always dreamed of becoming an elder, so I have the guts to risk my life and ask to see my ancestor, hoping for an exception."
"Please, Master, please grant me your permission!"
"If the ancestor refuses, the younger generation will still offer treasures." Xue Tong said tremblingly.
Ye Hede had said a lot of good things beforehand, and Hong Zhenfu rolled his eyes and said, "Well, for the sake of rare refinement, I am particularly gracious and allow you to see the ancestor."
It's almost dusk, and the dragon rises behind the mountain.
"It's just past the mountain pass ahead. You can go there by yourself." Hong Zhenfu stopped and said.
…
Xue Tong walked very slowly, feeling confused and unsure whether the Shenglong Cult had set a trap.
"Xue's behavior is abnormal. How can a congenital weapon master ask to see the ancestor of heaven and man? It is also abnormal for Hong Zhenfu to agree easily..."
"Xue has been waiting for this day, why are you panicking!"
Xue Tong always believed that Ye Hede would almost definitely betray him.
Poisoning and inducement are useless. Ye Hede only needs to inform and detoxify easily. The reward for catching Xue Tong will definitely far exceed Xue Tong's promise to him.
Xue Tong's plan cannot withstand scrutiny. His real plan is to wait for Ye Hede to inform him, then use his plan to fall into a trap.
As long as Zichun shows up, he is 90% sure to kill him!
…
After turning a corner, the beautiful peaks ahead and a small courtyard halfway up the mountain come into view.
Xue Tong released his spiritual pressure and was ready to go.
He took every step on the stone steps with extreme caution.
He released his spiritual consciousness for fear of being trapped by a magic circle.
Arrive at the gate smoothly.
Xue Tong had just stood still and was about to speak when a ray of light suddenly flashed in the sky.
"boom!"
The giant net was like a mountain pressing down on the top of the mountain. Xue Tong noticed at a glance that the two mountains on the left and right and the small courtyard in front of him formed a pin-shaped array chain. The array covered a radius of seven to eight hundred feet, and there was no possibility of escape.
Xue Tong ejected and pounced towards the mountain peak on the left.
The left formation chain seems to be the weakest, so you need to strangle one person with all your strength before the three people are surrounded.
Even if it fails, it is the weakest here and there is still room for escape.
The giant net had shrunk into a large, shining silver bag, and it fell down at a very fast speed.
The Huntian Ju in Xue Tong's hand instantly rose to ten feet, and the nebula sprayed out and penetrated the surface of the light bag.
"Tear it apart~"
The loud noise of cracking silk was heard hundreds of miles away.
The light bag was torn open, and light strands were flying in front of Xue Tong's eyes. On the mountain peak on the left, the gray-clothed old man behind the rock looked frightened, and the storage bracelet turned sharply.
Xue Tong pierced the magic circle with one move, which was beyond his expectation.
