Chapter 171: Ye Chen's Actions

In the middle of the night, the main hall of the Zhao Kingdom's palace.

A straight figure stood as if wearing a dragon robe, but his expression was mournful, the fists in his sleeves were white, and the grief was mixed with helplessness.

This person is the Emperor of Zhao State, Zhao Yu.

"Your Majesty, I will try my best at the end." In front of Zhao Yu, a middle-aged man in armor knelt there on one knee, "The army of 100,000 people has swept across a hundred miles, but they have not found any trace of those people."

"It's not your fault." Zhao Yu took a deep breath, "Those people should not be mortals. Even the national teachers were killed, and the army of mortals was in vain."

As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, a ghostly figure appeared in front of the two of them.

This person, needless to say, is Ye Chen who sneaked into the palace.

"You..." Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Who are you?" On the side, the man in the armor also pulled out the long sword from his waist and blocked Zhao Yu.

Ye Chen didn't speak, but just took out a token, there was spiritual energy lingering on the token, and the word "Hengyue" was engraved on it.

Seeing the token of Hengyue, Zhao Yu and the middle-aged man in armor changed their expressions, and they bowed respectfully, "I have seen the Immortal Hengyue."

"I'm not an immortal." Ye Chen said, receiving the Hengyue token, but never took off his hood and black robe.

"Also ask Shangxian to save me Zhao Guoli and the people." Zhao Yu seemed to be too excited, and he knelt down in front of Ye Chen with a bang. But only a weak mortal.

"I will find out the real murderer." Ye Chen used a gentle force to drag Zhao Yu off the ground, and then asked, "Where is your national teacher?"

The national teacher in Ye Chen's mouth is also a member of the Hengyue Sect. Each sect will send a disciple to be the national teacher in the mortal kingdom. Their cultivation is not high, but in the eyes of these mortals, it is a supreme existence.

On the side, the middle-aged man in armor has come over with a jade box, but inside the jade box is a blood-stained robe, and on the robe, "Heng Yue" is clearly written. Character.

Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned sharply, looked at Zhao Yu and the others, and said solemnly, "Your report didn't say that the disciple I sent to Zhao State by Hengyue had died unexpectedly."

"Shangxian Mingjian." Zhao Yu was sincere and frightened, "Yesterday, the national teacher went out for inspection, and he has not returned. I will send someone to look for it, but when the national teacher is found, there is only... only this robe is left."

Ye Chen didn't speak, and secretly thought that Zhao Guoguo might have discovered something, but his strength was not good. Instead of subduing the evil forces, he became a ghost under the knife, so that only a blood-stained Taoist robe was left.

With this thought in mind, Ye Chen had already gently picked up the blood-stained robe, and the light in his eyes became uncertain.

"There is only one Taoist robe left in the cultivation realm of the Human Origin Realm." Ye Chen's thoughts flew around, he touched his chin, and secretly analyzed in his heart.

"So, that evil force, at least someone who has cultivated in the Primordial Realm, or maybe the cultivation realm of the True Yang Realm, maybe it is the Spiritual Void Realm.

While pondering in his heart, Ye Chen had put the blood-stained robe in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly. The robe had a strong bloody smell, but under the strong bloody smell, there was a smell that he was very sensitive to.

"The scent of medicinal herbs."

"It shouldn't be an alchemist who shot!" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. As an alchemist, he was very sensitive to the smell of medicine pills.

On the top of the robe in his hand, there is a faint smell of medicine.

Putting down the blood-stained robe in his hand, Ye Chen fell into thought again.

"Only kidnapping children over one year old, do you want to use them to make alchemy?" Ye Chen thought of an evil alchemy method that Xu Fu once said, that requires children over one year old to be used for medicine.

For a long time, Ye Chen didn't speak anymore.

On the side, Zhao Yu and the middle-aged man in armor stood there quietly, not daring to make a sound.

In the end, it was Zhao Yu who broke the silence with a word, "Shangxian, but... have you found any clues."

"Bring the map of Zhao State." Ye Chen said.

Soon, the middle-aged man in armor hurriedly took out a huge map from his arms, and then hung it on the wall according to Ye Chen's instructions.

Ye Chen stepped forward and quietly stared at Zhao's map. The dozens of places his eyes swept across were all villages that had been slaughtered in recent days. Those villages were not very far apart, and a few were still next to each other. .

After a long time, Ye Chen looked away from the map, looked at the middle-aged man in armor, and asked, "Are you a general?"

"Report to Shangxian, the last general Qin Xiong is the tiger general of Zhao State." The middle-aged man in armor said respectfully.

"Then talk about this from your general's eyes."

Although Qin Xiong was stunned, he took a deep breath and came to the map. He pointed out several villages where the massacre occurred, and said, "From the location and orientation of the massacre, the person who shot it is a village from south to north. They slaughtered one village one by one, obviously, they think they are powerful, so they are unscrupulous."

"Continue." Ye Chen said lightly.

Qin Xiong nodded, and then pointed out a few places, "If we look at the route of their slaughtering villages, these villages should be next. If Shangxian makes a move, these places must be the top priority."

"At what time did more than a dozen villages be massacred." Ye Chen looked at Qin Xiong.

"Zi Shi." Qin Xiong said with certainty, "According to the last general's guess, that evil force seems to only appear at night." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

"Blood-colored clothes only appear at the age of 12." Ye Chen touched his chin, with a deep glint in his eyes, "Could it be a blood witch!"

Ye Chen thought of a strange race, which is a branch of the ancient Wu clan, which is called evil by decent monks. It has always only been seen at night, sucking human blood for a living, and the methods are extremely brutal. First launch https:// https://

"But what's the matter with the smell of medicinal herbs on that robe." Ye Chen pondered to himself, "Could it be that a high-level alchemist had raised a blood witch in captivity, if so, then the matter would be much more complicated."

After pondering for a long time, Ye Chen turned to look at Zhao Yu, "Three things, first, before Zi Shi, with the few villages pointed out by General Qin as the center, the villagers within a radius of fifty miles moved at the fastest speed. Go out; second, withdraw the Zhao army that was sent out to search, those people may be monks, no matter how much you go, you will die in vain; third, be sure to sprinkle fire in every village before today's time, the more the better ."

"I'll do it right now." Qin Xiong acted resolutely, and he was about to walk outside immediately, but just took a step, turned around, and looked at Ye Chen embarrassedly, "Well, dare to ask Shangxian, what is Huo Rin. "

"Huo Lin is the flame powder extracted from the Yan Jue stone in your mouth. This kind of thing and even the yang thing can resist evil."

"Thanks Shangxian." Qin Xiong bowed his hands, turned and walked out of the Golden Palace.

After Qin Xiong left, Ye Chen stood quietly on the huge map again, and his deep eyes captured every mountain and river on the huge map, as if he was looking for something.

"Shangxian, are you here alone?" Zhao Yu asked tentatively behind him.

"Are you afraid that I can't handle those evil forces?" Ye Chen said lightly.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu panicked, "I...I didn't mean that."

Ye Chen smiled, but did not answer, his eyes still swept across the map of Zhao State.

In the end, his eyes were fixed on a mountain, and there was still light in his eyes, just because the terrain around the mountain was very strange, surrounded by three mountains, and one mountain stood in the center. Possibly a leyline will spawn.

The so-called earth pulse is a kind of spiritual pulse of the earth. It absorbs the essence of the earth and gathers a kind of spiritual pulse. The mortals can prolong their life, and the cultivators will get twice the result with half the effort.

Among the nearly 100 mortal kingdoms in Great Chu, Zhao's territory is not very large, but there are many mountains, and Ye Chen is not surprised at all.

Naturally, it is not unreasonable for him to stare at the three mountains, because it is a good place for alchemy. The essence of the sun and the moon is collected from the top, and the energy source of the earth veins is collected from the bottom.

"If there is really a mysterious alchemist who controls the blood witch to commit the crime, then the three mountains must have hidden secrets." Ye Chen touched his chin.

"Shangxian?" On the side, Zhao Yu called out tentatively when he saw Ye Chen muttering alone.

"Say something."

"I have already ordered to go down and hold a banquet to entertain Shangxian, and also invite Shangxian to move to Fengluan Pavilion."

"I don't have time to eat now." Ye Chen turned around and walked outside. When passing by Zhao Yu, he patted Zhao Yu lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You worry about the country and the people, you are a good emperor. , you don't need to eat, saving people is the most important thing."

Having said that, Ye Chen has already walked out of the golden hall.
