When he reached the entrance of the main meeting hall, Ye Bai's figure stopped abruptly, thinking of another matter, he turned around and asked, "Is there a senior named Nan Muyun sitting in the gate now?"

"There is no such person."

Master Qingtian shook his head in a daze.

Ye Bai frowned upon hearing this.

Nan Muyun was the monk who promised to use the way of time in exchange for the fountain of life to cure a certain mysterious spiritual root at the Underworld Auction Conference back then.

Ye Bai once made an appointment with him, if he went to the Soul Continent, and finally found the fountain of life, and rescued his spirit root companion, this credit will still be counted on Ye Bai's head, and after finishing, he will stay in Taiyi temporarily door, wait until Ye Bai comes back, or at least leave the jade slip behind.

"Is there anything this person named for me?"

Ye Bai thought for a while and asked again.

Master Qingtian pondered for a moment, then shook his head again.

Ye Bai sighed in his heart, the things in this world were indeed not as good as he thought, and Nan Muyun might not have found the fountain of life in the end, so of course this deal did not succeed.

"The way time stands still..."

Ye Bai sighed slightly in his heart.

"I remember that although there is nothing that Senior Nan Muyun gave to Patriarch Ye, there is a jade box that was left to Patriarch Ye from Yinxian Island back then."

Ye Bai was about to leave again, when in the main hall, there was an extremely elegant and pleasant female voice. It came from one of the ordinary-looking middle-aged female cultivators. It was unbelievable that she had such a beautiful voice.

"Hidden Immortal Island? Bring it to me!"

After Ye Bai was startled, his eyes flashed, and he immediately shouted.My mind fluctuated slightly because of another matter.He didn't even care about the words "Hidden Immortal Island" back then.

A figure flew away.

After a while, the middle-aged female cultivator brought a small golden jade box and handed it to Ye Bai. Tens of thousands of years passed.The jade box was as complete as new, and it could be seen that no one had touched it.

Ye Bai erased the seal on the jade box with a snap of his fingers, opened the jade box, and there was a jade slip in the box, he grabbed it and looked at it.After a while, Ye Bai's eyes filled with surprise and sadness.

"Xiaolang..."

Ye Bai murmured.

This jade slip was sent by Lang Feizhou's daughter, Lang Hongyu, and it recorded Lang Feizhou's last words before his death, asking Ye Bai to return to the Thunder Star Region as soon as possible.

"That illusion... is real!"

Ye Bai remembered another thing.When he was fighting in the arena of the world of mortals, he fell under the strange supernatural power of a monk, and saw the vision of Lang Feizhou before he died, and he thought it was fake at first.Now that I saw this jade slip, I realized that Lang Feizhou was really the reincarnation of a brother from a previous life.For some reason, before he died, he awakened the memory of his previous life, and guessed that Ye Bai was Xuanyuan Tiexin, so he sent this jade slip.

Recalling the scene I saw in the vision back then.Recalling Lang Feizhou's old appearance before he died, Ye Bai felt a throbbing pain in his heart, feeling indescribably indebted to Lang Feizhou.

"Ye Bai."

In a flash, Su Liuli came to his side and supported him.

"fine."

After Ye Bai waved his hand lightly, he put away the jade slips and the jade box together, and swept towards the mountain gate.

……

When he left the Taiyi Gate, Ye Bai's appearance had changed, and his realm had been suppressed to the middle Yuanying stage. He had a faint feeling that it was not that simple for Yan Ruo to be killed.

Forced himself to expel the matter of Lang Feizhou from his mind, the huge power of spiritual consciousness spread out, looking for suspicious monks.The vast Furugaki Mountains are almost panoramic.

I didn't find half of the monks above the late Nascent Soul, but many places were banned and blocked, and Ye Bai's spiritual sense could not penetrate. The murderer who killed Yan Ruoqu, regardless of his strength, but as long as it has not been exposed Identity, if you find a place to hide, it will not be easy for Ye Bai to find.

"It would be great if there is a way."

Ye Bai cursed depressingly, it has been about seven days since Yan Ruo went to be killed, and the monks under the dust will never be able to run too far.

Not only is Gao Youdao absent, but even the four-eyed demon fox clan that was an old fox watching the sky was exterminated by Long Hai. In the current Taiyi Sect, there is not a single monk who can pinch and count.

Chi!

Finding a secluded place, Tiekong came to the place where the middle-aged man found Yan Ruoqu's body. This is a remote valley.

Ye Bai searched carefully and found nothing unusual, so he opened his psychic pupils and searched in the direction of the Misty Sea.

For Ye Bai, this distance could be reached in a matter of seconds, but now it is unimaginably slow to find Yan Ruoqu's soul.

It took three months, Ye Bai even went back and forth a few times, finally found Yan Ruoqu's soul, and put it away in the soul-destroying bottle.

Without much delay, after tearing it apart, I returned to Fengxin Mountain again.

……

It's the meeting hall again, and everyone gathers again.

"More Master Ye!"

Although Yan Ruo died, it is always a blessing to be able to find his soul. Yan Ruo Liu saluted Ye Bai with sadness.

After Ye Bai nodded slightly, he said: "Who killed your elder brother, he should know best, as long as he is asked to switch to the ghost way, he can ask who the murderer is. But if you want to switch to the ghost way, you can only do it in Huangquan Realm, I want to go to Huangquan Realm first."

All together.

Ye Bai frowned again and said, "Entering Huangquan is very fast, but after coming out, it may not necessarily be near Haifengxing, and it may take dozens or hundreds of years to come back. This period of time is indeed a bit long."

"What is the patriarch going to do?"

Daoist Qingtian asked.

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said: "I'll first visit Senior Qiu Zhen in Xiangdu and Brother Jin in Wanleimen. If I can get any clues, I'll find the murderer and kill him immediately. If I don't have any clues, I'll go to Huangquan again. Help Ruo go to the ghost way and ask who the murderer is."

Everyone agrees.

"During this period, you can do whatever you want, but don't let out the news that Liuli and I have returned."

"I would like to respect the order of the Patriarch!"

"Liuli, Xiaobai will leave it to you. Don't let him run around recklessly. Don't leave the mountain until I come back."

Ye Bai told Su Liuli again that his own son knew best that after cultivating Taoism and achieving a little achievement, the custodian would go down the mountain to practice his hands.

Su Liuli nodded yes.

After Ye Bai gave his orders, he left in a hurry.Rushing to Xiangdu is also easy.

……

Compared with 7 to [-] years ago, today's Hunan has expanded seventeen or eighteen times, and there are so many ordinary people. Because Qiu Zhen sits in the town, there is no reason for human wars, and it is the most ideal place to live in the hearts of ordinary people. .

When Ye Bai tore the air out.It was in the depths of the sea, after surfacing, seeing the busy and extremely prosperous scene of the world of mortals, I had to secretly praise Qiu Zhen's lineage's guardianship in my heart.

soon.The island of monks who entered the city is still as big as it was 7 to [-] years ago, but there are more palaces and caves on the island.Connected into one piece, guarding the City Lord's Mansion.Shrouded in a restraining formation, he faintly looked like a small sect.

Ye Bai rode an ordinary movement, came to the city lord's mansion, and reported a name at random.He said he wanted to see Qiu Zhen.

The guards ignored him, and only said arrogantly that Patriarch Qiu was in seclusion, and he didn't see anyone. Obviously, he didn't necessarily see him, but felt that Ye Bai, who was disguised, was not qualified to ask to see him.With such a great god as Qiu Zhen sitting in the town, even Xiaoxiu, who is guarding the gate, can stand taller than him.

"I was introduced by Master Qingtian, the master of the Taiyi Gate, so go and inform your city master first."

With a dark face, Ye Bai said angrily.

The guard finally got in.

After a while, the current city lord came out. He was a middle-aged man with a majestic attitude. He was tall and tall. He was dressed in a purple-gold robe. It vaguely reveals the appearance of flying, and has the realm of the late Yuanying period.

This person's name was Lian Heqiu, and it was unknown how many generations he was Qiu Zhen and Lian Yeyu's descendants. When he saw Ye Bai, a strange monk, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Under Lian Heqiu, I don't know who you are? What does it have to do with Taiyimen? Why did you come to see me and my grandfather?"

Lian Heqiu said in an unusually deep and forceful voice, with a pleasant smile on his face, he was a veteran of the rivers and lakes.

Ye Bai nodded slightly, and said via voice transmission: "I am Ye Bai from Taiyi Gate, take me in, I want to see Uncle Qiu Zhen."

Lian Heqiu's body trembled when he heard the words, his eyes sparkled, and he stared at Ye Bai carefully. Of course he couldn't recognize him, but he definitely didn't feel that a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul dared to pretend to be Ye Bai to visit Qiu without fear of death. real.

"Senior, please follow me."

After a shock, Lian Heqiu spoke in a voice transmission.

……

Zhenhai small building.

The place where Qiu Zhen practiced, a place that Ye Bai hadn't seen for a long time.

Back then, he was here, together with Lian Yeyu and Hai Kuanglan, to challenge Qiu Zhen and hone himself. It wasn't until they got the old man's approval that the three of them went to the Bloody Abyss to look for opportunities.

Now it seems that this place is not much different from then.I don't know if it was preserved deliberately, or if Qiu Zhen took a rest after returning.

"You kid, when did you return to Sea Breeze Star?"

Qiu Zhen received a notification from Lian Heqiu, and after seeing Ye Bai, he said with a smile.

This old age is still in the early stage of the starry sky. It doesn't look old at all, but it is very energetic, with a tall and straight body and lightning-like eyes. It still looks like an old lion, full of heroism.

"Not long after I came back, I encountered a little trouble, so I came here to invite Uncle Teacher."

Ye Bai said with a smile, he was also very happy to see a large number of Qiu Zhen cultivating diligently.

After Qiu Zhen's eyes flickered, he ordered Lian Heqiu to go out, and at the same time told him not to spread the news of Ye Bai's arrival.

After the door was closed, Ye Bai told about the killing of Yan Ruoqu, and after explaining the situation, he said: "Although I have never fought against Ruoqu, since the elders of the Taiyi Sect respect him so much, it will definitely not be bad. , Even the cultivator of the heart of artistic conception may not be able to make him kill him in one blow without any resistance at all, who did it, the uncle came back earlier than me, so there is no clue."

"Yan Ruoqu from your Taiyi Sect, I have seen it a few times, he is indeed an extraordinary junior, he is actually dead..."

When Qiu Zhen heard this, his gaze sank, and he revealed his majesty: "Everyone knows the relationship between me and your Taiyi Sect, and the Golden Lei Shuai is in the Eastern Continent. Where did this person come from? He dared to kill the Taiyi Sect!" disciple?"

"I also doubt whether this person is coming for you."

Ye Bai said in a deep voice.

But at this moment, Qiu Zhen had a strange look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Uncle, did you think of anything?"

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.Staring at Ye Bai, he said, "Ye Bai, to tell you the truth, after I returned, I took a tour of Haifengxing to understand the current situation, and I even read many ancient records in the cultivation world, and found the previous history. There are also a few of your juniors who have great reputations, and the reputation of geniuses can be compared to yours, who died inexplicably halfway and were killed by others."

When Ye Bai heard this, his eyes flashed brightly.

Qiu Zhen went on to say: "These juniors, some are in the Nascent Soul Realm, some are in the Golden Core Realm, but without exception, they are universally recognized geniuses with high hopes. I didn't pay much attention to this matter at the time. After all, those who died halfway There are too many geniuses, but listening to what you say now, it feels weird."

Hearing this, Ye Bai's pupils condensed.

"...Could it be that there is some insidious guy lurking on our Sea Breeze Star, who specializes in killing the most outstanding juniors?"

After a few breaths, Ye Bai said with some uncertainty, his face was slightly gloomy.

After a few breaths of silence, Qiu Zhen nodded seriously and said, "I'm afraid this is really possible."

Ye Bai's thoughts soared, if this is really possible, what is the other party's purpose.

"If this is really possible, this guy must not be a cultivator under Lichen."

Qiu Zhen continued, this is obvious, the monks under Lichen do not have such a long lifespan.

Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

Qiu Zhen fell into thought again.

This time, Ye Bai didn't bother.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, Qiu Zhen looked at Ye Bai again and said, "I went back to Sea Breeze Star. When I was traveling, I met a monk in the starry sky, but I'm not sure if this person is the murderer." , maybe he was just passing by. I can’t be sure if he’s still in Haifengxing now. The time I saw this person was more than 1000 years ago.”

"Who? What does it look like?"

Ye Bai immediately asked.

Qiu Zhen pointed a finger towards the void, and a light mirror appeared leisurely, and an old man's face appeared in the mirror.

"Taoist Baihe? How could it be him?"

Ye Bai was dumbfounded, and his heart was agitated.

The old man in the mirror is the Taoist Baihe who was the guardian of Taiwei Star's main hall back then. This old man brought Ye Bai, Broken Thorn, and Hai Kuanglan together to visit the Great Master.

"Who is he?"

This time, it was Qiu Zhen's turn to be surprised.

Ye Bai pondered slightly, and explained the identity of Taoist Baihe in detail, and finally said: "The master of the Nine Dead Star Sea sent people to chase and kill me back then, but if Taoist Baihe came for me, there is no need to do anything to other people." It's really weird that the younger generation of Sea Breeze Star took action."

Qiu Zhen heard the words, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Since this matter involves the Great Master, and he has sent people to hunt you down, in my opinion, you should decide on the next step after you are sure. I still have to make a trip, Brother Jin, you don’t need to go there for now.”

Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

After the two discussed how to make a cup of tea, Ye Bai quietly left.

……

Leaving Xiangdu, came to a remote place, and went to the lost place in the sea of ​​mist.

After entering the Lost Land, Ye Bai didn't check anything here, after all, he had nothing to worry about here, and went straight to the passage to the Underworld.

In a short period of time, he arrived at the Netherworld. This time, he was lucky. After entering the Netherworld, he was not too far from Wangchuan City. It took about a year's journey.

Ye Bai was not in a hurry to help Yan Ruo switch to the ghost path, he simply came to Wangchuan City first, anyway, he wanted to find a place to stay for Yan Ruo after switching to the ghost path, Wangchuan City obviously is the most suitable place.

After seeing Leng Tianyu, the two went to meet Ji Baiyi together.

After listening to Ye Bai's narration, both of them looked ugly, and Ji Baiyi's eyes were even more cold. However, in the face of the possible power from the Great Master, this may be the future Lord of the Underworld. To go through a long period of dormancy and helpless forbearance.

"Take out his soul, and I will personally help him convert to the ghost way. I want to see if this Baihe Taoist killed him."

Ji Baiyi drank coldly.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Ye Bai didn't talk too much nonsense, he took out the soul-absorbing bottle and offered it.

Ji Baiyi didn't choose another time and place, right here and now, beside Ye Bai and Leng Tianyu, he began to help Yan Ruo to switch to the ghost way.

The spooky aura soon permeated the cave, and the process involved needs no further mention.

……

Several hours later, Yan Ruo succeeded in converting to the ghost way. On the outside, he still looks handsome, but he is already an illusion. Outside of his body, he is like Ji Baiyi and Leng Tianyu. There is a layer of black mist.

After waking up, she was at a loss for a while, then recognized the appearance of Ye Bai and the other three, and was full of surprises, and finally knew about her own business, and was filled with emotions. She didn't expect that there would be a chance to do it again, and it was so fast.

Even if this person is full of genius, he can't help himself at this moment.

Ye Bai and the others waited for him to calm down, and then Ye Bai asked, "If you go, did this guy kill you?"

As soon as he spoke, Ye Bai had already pointed a finger, showing the appearance of Taoist Baihe.

"That's the man!"

Yan Ruoqu said with a serious face, this person is also full of pride, he was killed by someone inexplicably, so naturally he was full of anger.

Hearing his words, all three of Ji Baiyi's eyes flashed brightly.

"Did he say anything?"

Ye Bai asked again.

Yan Ruoqu didn't think too much, and said directly: "This person appeared in front of me inexplicably, pinned me with coercion, and killed me without saying a word."

When the three of them heard the words, they fell into doubts at the same time. They couldn't figure out why the other party did this, and they faintly felt that things were a little troublesome.

Ji Baiyi pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Bai and said, "Ye Bai, as long as this person is still on Sea Breeze Star, I believe you will be able to find him and kill him, but once this person dies, maybe the Great Master will know immediately. , and the influence of the ruler, I am afraid whether it is you, the Taiyi Gate, or even the entire Sea Breeze Star, there is a danger of dying."

"Well, the matter of revenge may need to be discussed in the long run!"

Leng Tianyu nodded in agreement.

Ye Bai frowned upon hearing this, how could he not have thought of this, but he thought more.

Yan Ruo is not an idiot to go to this person. From the words of the three people, it seems that Taoist Baihe has a lot of background, so big that even the three patriarchs are afraid, the steaming anger in his heart gradually calmed down, and he said proudly: "If this I can't take revenge for the time being, please don't worry too much about the three patriarchs, and you will take revenge yourself when you go!"

This person is also very high-spirited, and at the same time has great self-esteem.

The three of them, Ji Baiyi, couldn't help but look up at him a few times, secretly glad that there was such a junior in the door.

"It's not that simple."

Ye Bai said: "The purpose of this person lurking on Sea Breeze Star is to kill all the top monks born on Sea Breeze Star in their cradles, should we just let him kill him? Other sects don't mention it, say The tragedy of uncertainty will happen to our disciples of the Taiyi Sect one day."

The three of them were all silent when they heard the words. This is indeed a more troublesome problem.

"Brother, what are your plans?"

Leng Tianyu frowned and asked.

Ji Baiyi and Yan Ruo went to look at Ye Bai together.

Ye Bai's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "I have to find him, capture him alive first, know why he did this, and how to deal with it later, and plan, even if I can't kill him, I have to imprison him temporarily."

The three thought about it, but couldn't think of a better way, so they could only nod in agreement.

Leng Tianyu said again: "There is another problem. This person will definitely not be wandering around every day. According to my estimation, he usually hides somewhere and cultivates quietly. After thousands of years, he will come out to travel and find out about the new generation. , What kind of genius has appeared again, if you don't find it, you will go back to practice immediately. Senior brother needs some luck to find him."

"If you can't find him... I'll create a super genius as bait and fish him out!"

Ye Bai said in a gloomy voice. (to be continued~^~)
