"I don't want to meet you!"
However, the voice system ignored Ye Kong's refusal. He was sent to the Elder's Council without even wearing a black shirt.
"Hey, how dare you say that the Black Robe is a place where everyone is equal? This is an abuse of power and personal gain! You should at least give me a black shirt! "Ye Kong said loudly.
The woman acted as if she didn't hear him and only said, "Honorable 9527, please wait for a moment."
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, since he couldn't avoid it, he could only see the situation. If it was a good thing, he would accept it. If they wanted to harm him, he, Ye Kong, wasn't afraid!
In fact, Ye Kong had nothing to fear. So what if it was the Black Robe Elder? If it came down to it, he would hide in the Pipa Beads. What could they do to him?
Ye Kong looked around the room.
The room was very big, and it was surrounded by black walls. There were water-like ripples flowing on the walls. The whole room was circular, with the sides slightly higher and the center slightly lower.
Ye Kong stood in the center of the circle. Along the inner wall, there were seventeen black luxurious high-back chairs. The chairs looked ordinary, but the carvings on their backs were exquisite. He didn't know what material they were made of, but they gave off a dignified and stable feeling.
The whole room wasn't very bright. There was a ray of light from the top that shone on the center of the room, shining on Ye Kong's body.
"So mysterious. It's like interrogating a criminal," Ye Kong muttered.
Suddenly, there was a loud laugh. "Who said I was interrogating a criminal? Everyone in the Black Robe is equal. I'm just chatting with you."
Ye Kong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black sitting on a chair on the right side of the center. However, he wasn't wearing a hood, so he could see that he was a middle-aged man with a square face. His eyes were bright even in the dark. Apart from his eyes, the most eye-catching feature was the hole on his face. He could vaguely see the white bones inside. It was very terrifying.
"Disciple 9527 greets the Fourth Elder." Ye Kong immediately bowed. The fourth person in The Black Robe was probably not someone easy to deal with.
"You can call me Kuang Peng." The scarred man waved his hand.
"Oh, Elder Kuang Peng."
Kuang Peng nodded. "No need to be so polite. I called you here today to investigate your disciple's identity. How did you get the black robe token?"
"My name is Ye Kong, the grandson-in-law of the original disciple, Wu Wuzhi. Before he died, he passed the token to me. I heard that this token can be inherited, so I am also a legal disciple."
Kuang Peng nodded again and asked, "That Wu disappeared without a trace decades ago. Where did you receive the token and how did he die?"
Ye Kong repeated what he had said before. He was not familiar with this person, so how could he reveal his secret? It only said that he had met Wu Wuzhi in a remote place filled with water, and that Wu Wuzhi had been killed by a demonic beast. Before his death, Wu Wuzhi had given him this token.
"In a place where few people tread, there's water everywhere?" Kuang Peng looked at Ye Kong, his eyes sharpening.
"Yeah, I heard that the realm is called the Future Water World," Ye Kong continued.
However, he had a bad feeling about Kuang Peng's eyes. They were incomparably sharp, and when they stared at him, he felt like he was locked onto by the enemy's radar. It was very uncomfortable. Ye Kong suspected that these were not human eyes.
"Future Water World?" Kuang Peng snorted coldly and said, "No wonder the sect's system recorded that you came from an unknown region. It seems like this future water world is really mysterious."
"That's right, there's water everywhere, there's no end …"
Kuang Peng smiled, took out the purple jade, and threw it in front of Ye Kong. He asked, "So, this purple jade was obtained from there as well?"
Ye Kong finally understood why this Elder Kuang Peng was looking for him, and immediately said angrily, "No comment! I originally thought that The Black Robe was a place for legitimate transactions, but I didn't expect it to also be a black shop. You've taken a fancy to me, Purple Jade, and you want to force me to tell you where I'll collect it … Let me tell you, there's no way! "
"I fancy your purple jade?" Kuang Peng stood up and said, "I can have as many of these things as I want! What a vile person! "
Ye Kong was stung by the last four words and replied, "Yes, I'm a vile person, so I definitely won't tell you."
"Do you want to die?"
"I don't want to die, but no one can make me die so easily."
"…" Kuang Peng did not expect this kid to be so stubborn and bad-tempered. What was originally a good question had turned into this.
Even if it was the fourth elder, he had no right to kill people here. Kuang Peng sat down, waved his hand, and said, "Tell me, how many Spirit Stones do you need to answer the question? I'll buy the information from you."
However, a certain person had always had a bad temper. If you go along with me, I can give it to you for free. If you fight with me, I won't give it to you even if I throw it away!
"I don't lack Spirit Stones."
"Then what do you lack?"
"I don't lack anything. What I lack, you can't give me."
"You motherf * cker!" Kuang Peng was so angry that he laughed. He did not know where this stubborn donkey had come from, but he simply could not say a word. He had not been angry for tens of thousands of years, but today, he had actually lost his composure and even cursed.
Kuang Peng changed his tone and said, "9527, actually, I don't care about these purple jades. I care about the array formation on it … Let me put it this way, this array formation was made by a friend of mine from a long time ago. I want to find out who carved this array formation, so I asked you where you found it."
"The person who carved the array formation? You can tell who carved it from these arrays? You must be deceiving me. "Ye Kong still did not believe him. These purple jades were obtained by Cangbei, so how could he possibly recognize them?
Kuang Peng sighed and raised his hand. A five-colored ray of light appeared at his fingertips and hit the array formation on the surface of the purple jade on the ground. Suddenly, countless dazzling smoke and dust appeared around Ye Kong. Within the smoke and dust, countless mysterious runes were spinning and flipping …
However, the most eye-catching thing was that below the runes, the smoke and dust formed a seven-colored little toad that opened its mouth and spat out bubbles.
Ye Kong was stunned. He had not expected that there would be such things in the array formation. However, what was this seven-colored toad?
Kuang Peng looked at the little toad, and his sharp eyes immediately became gentle. He said, "Actually, this is not a frog, nor is it a seven-colored toad. According to the ancient books, the toad looks like a toad, and it swallows clouds and spits out mist. The mist is like clouds and is like a dream.
Hearing this, Ye Kong's eyes widened. He pointed at Kuang Peng and said, "You're not a human?"
"Yes." Kuang Peng nodded.
"You're a Flying Roc!" Ye Kong was ecstatic.
It seemed that Kuang Peng was even more excited than him. He ran down and asked with trembling lips, "She mentioned me to you?"
Ye Kong had not expected that he would actually encounter the thing that Ling Ziqiu had asked him to do. Two demons from two different worlds, and he did not even know their names, could actually find each other. It was simply a miracle.
