Chapter 2218 Clues

First of all, the brain of the three-eyed fox is directly related to the recovery of Qin Zhen's soul power, which goes without saying.

On the other hand, according to Ye Tian's speculation, the real reason for the passive resistance in the face of the spirit beast's attack should not be in Dongmen Mansion, but in Taiping Prefecture.

At most, Dongmen Mansion may have some clues.

Ye Tian came here to take a look at the situation of the Zheng family first. After the carriage stopped for a while, he continued on his way and left the door of the Zheng family.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a very busy building with people coming and going.

On the plaque above the gate, there are three big characters written, Lingbaozhai.

However, there is a small sign on the upper left of Lingbaozhai's name, which Ye Tian just saw on the door of Zheng's house, and it is the sign of Zheng's house.

This Lingbaozhai actually belongs to the Zheng family's property and is a store.

According to the memory of the cultivator who provided information about the brain of Ye Tian's three-eyed spirit fox, the Zheng family usually auctioned off good things in this store.

A few years ago, the brain of the three-eyed fox was auctioned here.

So when Ye Tian came here, there should be news about the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox, whether it was sold, and who it was sold to.

The carriage pulled by the two Liuyun horses is still quite conspicuous in the crowd. The strength of these two Liuyun horses alone is equivalent to two monks who have cultivated alchemy. They can afford the existence of such a carriage. At least it is above Nascent Soul and even Huashen cultivation base.

And such an existence is already considered a strong one.

The flow of people avoided one after another, and after the carriage stopped at the door, a waiter came forward to greet him immediately.

"What do you call your honored guest?" The waiter is an old man, his figure looks a little fat, and his cultivation base is also in the early stage of Yuanying. When he saw Ye Tian who came out of the carriage, he looked like a young man with a very young appearance, his eyes flashed There was a trace of surprise, but immediately hid it perfectly, and said with a smile on his face.

"Ye Tian."

"Fellow Daoist Ye Tian, ​​just hand over the Liuyunju carriage to the servants. What do you need when you come to Lingbao Zhai this time?" The old man made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Tian didn't say much, he just took out a few top-grade spirit stones and threw them to the old man.

Seeing these top-quality spirit stones, although the old man was not extremely surprised, he suddenly understood Ye Tian's weight in his heart, knowing that this is definitely a distinguished guest with confidence and generosity, the smile on his face became more sincere.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Tian, ​​please go upstairs." Entering the gate of Lingbao Zhai, the old man pointed to a staircase on the side: "We welcome distinguished guests upstairs."

"Just look for a quiet room that won't be disturbed," Ye Tian said.

"Okay." The old man nodded hastily.

The two went upstairs one after the other. Under the guidance of the old man, they entered a rather large tea room. And on the ceiling, runes are engraved to form a complete formation, which isolates the environment inside the tea room from the outside world.

The plainly dressed maid came in immediately, poured fragrant tea for the two of them, and then retreated.

"Does Fellow Daoist Ye Tian have any needs? My Lingbaozhai is the largest spiritual item store in the entire Dongmen Mansion and the surrounding cities. I believe it can meet the needs of Fellow Daoist Ye Tian. Just mention it." The old man Said politely.

"I want to buy a message," Ye Tian said.

"News?" Puzzled in the old man's eyes.

Ye Tian didn't answer immediately, but took out dozens of pieces of fairy jade with a wave of his hand, and arranged them neatly on the table.

"These are the rewards," Ye Tian said.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye Tian, ​​I'll tell you everything," looking at Xianyu in front of him, a fiery look flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Fifty years ago, you once auctioned something here. It was the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox, a mythical beast that ranked 69th on the Jade Immortals list. Do you still remember?" Ye Tian said.

Under normal circumstances, mortals might forget it, but this old man is also a Nascent Soul cultivation base, so it is definitely impossible for him to forget.

"I know that the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox has a miraculous effect on the power of the soul, and it was indeed auctioned fifty years ago," the old man said after hesitating for a while before returning to normal.

"What happened next?" Ye Tian asked.

"It was naturally sold at that auction," the old man said.

Ye Tian frowned slightly. Sure enough, the most troublesome thing happened to him. If it was not sold and still in the Zheng family's house, it must be the best situation, but if it was sold, if you want to find it again, It's going to waste some twists and turns.

"Who got the brain of the three-eyed fox?" Ye Tian asked.

"The news of this auction will spread throughout the city at that time, let alone such a treasure as the three-eyed spirit fox. The one who bought it at that time should be Wu Xingyuan, the suzerain of Wuya Valley outside the city." The old man said.

"Then the Endless Valley is just outside the city?"

"Out of the Fucheng and heading north, about a hundred miles away, you will be stopped by a mountain peak, and Wuya Valley is in that mountain." The old man said.

"Are you sure you remember correctly?" Ye Tian said.

"Of course, there is absolutely no problem with this. Since Fellow Daoist Ye Tian came here to buy news, if I didn't know, I would naturally tell the truth, but if I did, it must be true. I swear by the name of the Daoist ancestor." The old man said seriously Said.

"Okay, these fairy jades are yours now, I still have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first." Ye Tian stood up.

"I'll give it to Fellow Daoist Ye Tian."

...

After a while, Ye Tian left Wanbaozhai in a carriage.

Liu Yunju ran as fast as he could and left the East Gate Mansion City. Ye Tian took the carriage to a store at random and asked him to take care of it.

Then it flew straight into the air and flew north.

The distance of a hundred miles passed by in a flash, and Ye Tian finally saw a mountain blocking in front of him.

According to what the old man in Lingbaozhai said, Wuya Valley is located here.

Ye Tian scanned the mountain with his consciousness, and immediately saw countless buildings located in a valley in the mountain.

Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is a Daoist cultivator who is hiding deep underground in closed-door practice.

"Fellow Daoist, next to Ye Tian, ​​can you come out and talk about it?" Ye Tian no longer hid his cultivation, and sent a voice directly into the ground, the place where the monk asked about his hidden cultivation.

After a while, a figure in gray robe flew out and came to Ye Tian.

Although the monk who asked this question is the most powerful ancestor in Wuya Valley, with a respected status, he usually does not care about world affairs and practice in seclusion, but now he is personally invited by Ye Tian, ​​​​who has revealed his cultivation base as a celestial being, and this person still ends immediately. After practicing, he flew into the sky and came to Ye Tian.

"Zhou Xi, the great elder of Wuya Valley, has met seniors," the old man took the initiative to salute Ye Tian when he saw his strength.

"I'm bothering Fellow Daoist Qingxiu," Ye Tian bowed slightly.

"Senior Ye Tian is being polite. Seeing that senior is unfamiliar, he doesn't seem like a strong man in the East Gate Mansion," the old man said.

Moreover, Zheng Yuanjiu, the strongest man in Dongmen Mansion, is only at the middle stage of Xuanxian, and cannot be compared with Ye Tian.

"Passing by here by chance, I have something to ask," Ye Tian said.

"Senior, it's okay to say it," Zhou Xi said hastily and respectfully.

"You are the great elder of Wuya Valley? Then where is your suzerain, Wu Xingyuan?" Ye Tian asked.

This week, Zhou Xi suddenly froze for a moment.

"Fifty years ago, the suzerain was invited to go to the prefecture to do business, but he never returned. He just disappeared and has not returned." After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Tian and said: "Is it possible that senior Do you know the whereabouts of our suzerain?"

"I came to you to find Wu Xingyuan," Ye Tian said in a deep voice.

No wonder, logically speaking, the most powerful person in this Wuya Valley should be the suzerain Wu Xingyuan. As a result, Ye Tian didn't perceive a more powerful aura in it except for the great elder Zhou Xi, which means that Wu Xingyuan is not in the Wuya Valley. .

"Okay," Zhou Xi's hopeful expression disappeared immediately, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's okay, in fact, we all think that the suzerain should not come back."

"How do you say that?" Ye Tian frowned. If Wu Xingyuan couldn't come back and there was no other news, then the clues of the three-eyed spirit fox's brain should be completely cut off here.

"Fifty years ago, the suzerain went to Fucheng to participate in the Zheng family's auction, and got the brain of the legendary three-eyed spirit fox, the mythical beast of Zhuxian. It's as if people have evaporated."

"That is to say, because of such a precious treasure as the three-eyed spirit fox brain, Wu Xingyuan was murdered and stolen?" Ye Tian asked with a frown.

"This is the only possibility, and it must be the Zheng family who did it," Zhou Xi said in a deep voice.

"Why are you so sure? As far as I know, the auction did not block the news at that time. Things like the brain of the three-eyed fox must have spread quickly. There are not a few people who know that Wu Xingyuan is pregnant with treasures." Ye Tian said.

"At that time, the suzerain's cultivation base was already in the mid-stage of true immortality, and he was able to kill a mid-stage true immortal powerhouse near the East Gate Mansion without a sound. Apart from the Zheng family, there was no other power in the entire East Gate Mansion. Or there is such a strength." Zhou Xi said: "So it is the Zheng family who took action, this is the only possibility."

"The brain of the three-eyed fox was just auctioned off by the Zheng family, and they snatched it back?"

"Another reason why we can be so firm is that the Zheng family did it. This kind of thing is not an exception. Over the past countless years, similar things have happened many times."

"People almost assume that the Zheng family did it, but in the East Gate Mansion, the Zheng family is completely overshadowing the sky. Even if they know about it, no one dares to resist, and no one has the strength to resist."

"It's also because of this. After everyone gradually discovered such things, the Zheng family will no longer hold auctions in recent years, because even if they were held, few people would dare to buy them." Zhou Xi said.

"So at present, it can basically be concluded that Wu Xingyuan was killed by the Zheng family, and the brain of the three-eyed fox fell back into the hands of the Zheng family," Ye Tian said.

"Yes."

"How much do you know about the Zheng family?" Ye Tian looked at Zhou Xi.

"What's the meaning?"

"I need the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox, and I need to get it no matter what. Since this object should have fallen back to the Zheng family, then naturally I have to go to the Zheng family." Ye Tian said.

If the auction hadn't been successful and he was still in Zheng's house, Ye Tian could naturally go to Zheng's house to negotiate and find a way to buy it.

But now, the Zheng family may have murdered and robbed by force. Even if people are aware of such a disgraceful thing, they will certainly not make it public. They will not admit that the brain of the three-eyed fox is still in their hands.

So if Ye Tian still wants to get the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox from the Zheng family, he can only find a way to sneak into the Zheng family and snatch it out.

But hearing Ye Tian's words, Zhou Xi hesitated in his heart.

If they didn't want to really find out the whereabouts of the suzerain Wu Xingyuan and avenge Wu Xingyuan, that would be impossible.

Now that Ye Tian has the courage to enter the Zheng family, Zhou Xi certainly hopes to see such a situation happen, but Zheng Yuanjiu is the cultivation base of Xuanxian in the early stage. In addition to Zheng Yuanjiu, there is at least one member of the Zheng family who has reached the level of Xuanxian. period strong.

Although Ye Tian is already very powerful, he is only a celestial being, and in Zhou Xi's opinion, he is completely unable to compete with the Zheng family.

Forcibly breaking into Zheng's house like this is no different from sending him to death.

"If senior really decides to enter Zheng's house, I can help you, but at most I can only show you the way," Zhou Xi said hesitantly after thinking for a moment.

"That's enough. You don't need to come forward from the beginning to the end. If the Zheng family is alarmed, you can just leave on your own and ignore me," Ye Tian said.

"But, in fact, if I can avenge Wu Xingyuan, I must be obliged, even at the expense of myself, but the strength of the Zheng family is too strong after all, and they act quite domineeringly in the East Gate Mansion. I am worried that I will be implicated. The entire Wuya Sect." Zhou Xi said.

"I understand," Ye Tian nodded.

Whether it is him or Qin Zhen, although they have known it beforehand, their familiarity with the Zheng family is definitely far inferior to that of Zhou Xi. For the Zheng family, Ye Tian only wants to get the brain of the three-eyed spirit fox, and at the same time Inquire about some news about passive confrontation, and don't want to make trouble.

And under such circumstances, it would definitely be much more convenient if there was Zhou Xi who was more familiar with the existence guidance of the Zheng family.

So, Ye Tian turned around with Zhou Xi and returned to Dongmen Mansion City.

...

In the city, outside the side door of Zheng's mansion, in the carriage pulled by Liu Yunju.

Ye Tian and Zhou Xi sat opposite each other.

"The most powerful member of the Zheng family is naturally the current head of the family, Zheng Yuanjiu, who is also the owner of Dongmen Mansion City. As far as I know, he is not at home under normal circumstances, but in the city lord's mansion. The Zheng family has another powerful person." In the early days of Xuanxian, there were elders who were weaker than Zheng Yuanjiu." Zhou Xi said.

"As for the internal situation of the Zheng family, the specific distribution, especially where the treasures including the three-eyed spirit fox's brain are stored, I'm not sure. Only the Zheng family should know." Zhou Xi Said.

"People from the Zheng family..." Ye Tian pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "The Zheng family has a mid-celestial monk named Zheng Qipeng, have you ever heard of it?"

"At this time, he is also a well-known strong man. Of course I know. I also know that he is the lord of a boundary city under the East Gate Mansion, but recently he is in this mansion city. Zheng Yuanjiu trusts him, behaves in a public manner, is extremely domineering, and has a great reputation in the East Gate Mansion." Zhou Xi said.

"Is he in this mansion?" Ye Tian asked.

"I am quite clear about this. Zheng Qipeng does not live in the Zheng family's mansion, nor in the city lord's mansion. Instead, he lives and practices in a villa called Xiaoyao Pavilion in the south of the city. The monks are still wanton and unrestrained, and the Xiaoyao Pavilion is brightly lit all day long, and it is extremely lively. It is said that the way they practice is desire, so they have such behaviors." Zhou Xi said.

"Boundary City is facing the attack of spirit beasts, and countless human beings are devastated. As the Lord of Jiecheng, he hides here to have fun with peace of mind. This person deserves to die!" Ye Tian said coldly.

"The fact that Zheng Qipeng is not guarding Jiecheng, but staying safely in Dongmen Mansion has always been discussed, but he is a member of the Zheng family anyway, and the entire Dongmen Mansion belongs to the Zheng family, so no one dares to Point it out directly," Zhou Xi said.

"Let's go to Zheng Qipeng first," Ye Tian said.

Zhou Xi nodded, let Liu Yunju pull the carriage, and left the place.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a manor.

In the eyes, beside the road, there is a lush and lush tree, which blocks people's sight, and beyond the treetops, you can see a small mountain.

In the densely built Dongmenfu City, there is another manor with such a large area, with mountains and water, and the only building in it is the Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Ye Tian swept it with his spiritual sense, and then locked the location of Xiaoyao Pavilion, and at the same time, he also 'saw' the movement inside.

In the Xiaoyao Pavilion, there is only one man at this time, with a strong figure and a mid-stage immortal cultivation, he must be Zheng Qipeng.

At this time, Zheng Qipeng was entangled with a young girl naked, and the building was full of lewd laughter.

"You just wait here, if there is anything wrong, you can leave first," Ye Tian said.

"Senior, be careful," Zhou Xi nodded slightly.

Ye Tian suddenly disappeared into the carriage.

...

Zheng Qipeng slowly climbed off the naked girl with a satisfied smile on his face.

The girl's face was flushed and her face was full of exhaustion, but she still hugged Zheng Qipeng's shoulder with her white lotus root, her skin was smooth and sweaty.

Zheng Qipeng's hand caressed the girl's body recklessly, and the girl's breathing that had just calmed down quickly became rapid again.

Finally, Zheng Qipeng's hand stopped on the girl's neck.

Pinch slowly.

The pain from the neck and the brief suffocation made the girl's eyes flash with fascination.

But the next moment, it became pain and fear.

And this only lasted for a moment.

With a 'click', the girl's neck was directly twisted by Zheng Qipeng.

Immediately afterwards, flames spewed out from the girl's seven orifices crazily, engulfing her whole body in an instant.

The fire was blazing, and the flames were licking Zheng Qipeng's body frantically, but he seemed to feel everything, just silently looking at the ceiling above, expressionless.

But suddenly, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he felt something strange.

Zheng Qipeng immediately turned over and jumped up. With a wave of his hand, a black robe fell on his body, and the belt around his waist snapped together.

"Who?" Zheng Qipeng looked around nervously, with a serious expression.

He clearly felt that the room he was in seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world for a moment just now.

This place was forcibly blocked suddenly by a strange force.

The closed rooms were slowly pushed open, and a young man in white clothes Sheng Xue walked in slowly with no expression on his face.

"Who are you?" Zheng Qipeng stared at Ye Tian closely. The appearance of the latter made his sense of crisis suddenly reach its peak.

"You are Zheng Qipeng, the lord of Danhua City," Ye Tian asked seriously.

"Since you know me, how dare you play tricks here!?" Zheng Qipeng gritted his teeth and said, "I am a member of the Zheng family, and Zheng Yuanjiu, the master of Dongmen Mansion, is my closest person. You forcibly broke into my place today, and they I will definitely not forgive you."

"You should be able to feel that your connection with the outside world has been completely cut off now. Do you think that under such circumstances, even if you die, who would know?" Ye Tian said lightly.

"Die...you want to kill me?!" Zheng Qipeng had a hideous look on his face.

"Kill you, of course, because you deserve to die. When you abandon Danhua City and the countless human compatriots on the vast land behind Danhua City, you should die!" Ye Tian said.

"Hehe, who do you think you are? Are you judging me? What qualifications do you have?" Zheng Qipeng said coldly: "If you dare to touch a single hair of my hair, Palace Master Zheng and the Zheng family will not let you go !"

"Even if that Zheng Yuanjiu's divine sense has been covering the entire Dongmen Mansion City, watching every move in the city, every plant and every tree, I believe that he should not be interested in watching things like you and those women turning upside down, right?" Ye Tian said with a smile.

"Impossible, even if this is the case, it is impossible for you to do something to me under the nose of the Zheng family!" Zheng Qipeng said.
