Shopkeeper Zhao of Li Feng Shop was quite annoyed recently. Four months ago, one of his subordinates was killed by a kid from Chiyang School in an instant during a chase.
As a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, Zhao Youdao was quite experienced. He decisively retreated when the situation was unfavorable.
Later, he couldn't find out the origin of this disciple through his connections in Chiyang School, so he had to put this matter aside for now.
Zhao Youcai, male, 55 years old, was originally an outer disciple of the White Bone Gate.
Because of his aptitude, his cultivation had been stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for more than ten years.
In the end, he had to take over the job of the White Bone Gate's liaison in Tianya Pavilion. Usually, under the cover of the refining shop, he bought and sold some raw materials.
In secret, he was the contact point between the White Bone Gate's outer sect branch and the spy in Chiyang School.
This time, before he could finish his job, the White Bone Gate sent him a letter telling him to contact the spy in Chiyang School, Ye Xiao, as soon as possible.
Find out who was the alchemist in this batch of new disciples who had a third-grade pill furnace and Lofty Passion Wine.
Seeing this order, Zhao Youcai was stunned. There were more than eighty new disciples in this batch.
It was very difficult to find out who had Lofty Passion Wine one by one. Fortunately, he was an alchemist.
This time, the target range was locked on to the dozen new disciples who had just entered the Alchemy Hall.
Although it was a bit troublesome, Zhao Youcai couldn't question the orders from above. He just wondered why there were such conditions.
The operation four months ago was ordered by the White Bone Gate's outer sect branch leader, Yang Mingyang.
He was asked to contact Fei Yu, who was hiding in Chiyang School, to find a Chiyang School disciple who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He practiced a powerful fire attribute spirit art and was definitely a strong figure in the same realm.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Youcai contacted Fei Yu, he found out that she was preparing to betray the White Bone Gate, so he decided to deal with the traitor directly.
But halfway through, an accident occurred and "Fei Yu" was rescued.
The Chiyang School disciple he saw in the shop today was the guy who saved her.
After he left Li Feng Shop, Zhao Youcai immediately put up the closed sign at the door of the shop and then ran to the backyard to get the storage bag.
He followed Yi Tian all the way until he saw him leave the World Edge Pavilion. He thought that he had no chance.
Who would have thought that Yi Tian did not return to the sect directly, but instead went to the red pine forest.
Zhao Youcai felt that this was a rare opportunity. He had been following Yi Tian all the way, but he didn't dare to get too close. When he saw that Yi Tian was in a daze, he decisively made a move.
Yi Tian was startled when he saw a fireball flying towards him from the side. He hurriedly activated his protective shield.
With a muffled sound, the fireball hit the protective shield. The tree Yi Tian was leaning against shook a little.
Looking at the falling pine leaves, he knew that his opponent was not a weakling. At the very least, his cultivation was on par with his own.
Yi Tian saw a tiger-headed person standing in the distance, looking at him with a fireball in his hand. Yi Tian didn't say anything and fired a Rapid Fire at him.
After a fierce confrontation between the spells of both sides in the air, Yi Tian gradually gained the upper hand.
At this moment, he suddenly saw his opponent waving his left hand, and a white bone spear that was ten feet long instantly shot out from his hand.
Yi Tian's eyes lit up. This move was too familiar. He had encountered it three times before.
It seemed that this person had a great connection with the White Bone Gate. His hand movements were not slow either. Once he knew the opponent's method, he would find a way to break it.
Yi Tian put his hands together, and two streams of spirit qi spun in his hands to form a red spirit qi vortex. After that, Yi Tian summoned a trace of flame to form a washbasin-sized defensive shield.
Fortunately, Yi Tian didn't forget to practice the defensive spell in the Xuanyang True Fire, the Spiral Fire Shield.
The white bone spear galloping towards him hit the fire shield, and it was instantly twisted into pieces by the high-speed rotating flame.
Zhao Youcai's eyes widened as he watched his best move being broken just like that.
He had a look of disbelief on his face. At the same time, he exerted force with both hands, and many bone spears were shot out again.
After a series of indiscriminate attacks, Yi Tian's Spiral Fire Shield had already shattered more than ten bone spears.
Fortunately, his cultivation had increased recently, so the consumption wasn't too great.
He estimated that the opponent must have consumed a lot of spirit qi after such a fierce attack. At least twice as much spirit qi as he did.
However, it wasn't Yi Tian's style to be passive all the time. He dispersed the spirit qi in his hands and put away the fire shield.
The tiger-headed man was stunned for a moment, then he sneered and raised a fireball in his hand.
However, this time it was a ball of green flame. Yi Tian was shocked. Wasn't this the Netherworld Ghost Fire in the hands of the Seven Evil Witch?
Just a little bit of this thing was enough to make one suffer. Yi Tian still remembered the last time they fought. He almost lost his life.
Seeing the opponent use the Netherworld Ghost Fire, Yi Tian was unprecedentedly dignified.
It seemed that the opponent was undoubtedly a spy from the White Bone Gate. To be able to infiltrate the World Edge Pavilion, one couldn't be mediocre.
After being extremely vigilant, Yi Tian also began to change his moves.
He took out the flywheel and blew a mouthful of spirit qi on it. The five fireballs in his right hand attached to the edge of the flywheel, igniting the entire flywheel.
With a sound, the flywheel the size of a porcelain plate flew towards the tiger-headed man with five fireballs.
The opponent didn't show any weakness. The green ghost fire also slid out of his hand, and there was an intense collision sound in the air.
Zhao Youcai didn't expect that the kid who was at the sixth level of Qi Refinement would be able to fight against him, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
The Netherworld Ghost Fire was the strongest killing move that Zhao Youcai could use. It was because of the merit of the intelligence that the White Bone Gate branch leader, Yang Mingyang, taught him this spell.
Fortunately, on the surface, he was a shopkeeper of a refining shop, but in reality, he didn't know anything about refining, so he didn't have any decent magic tools to support the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
This time, he had no choice but to use it forcefully. This was his last killing move. This Netherworld Ghost Fire consumed too much spirit qi. In an instant, more than half of the spirit qi in Zhao Youcai's dantian was used.
On the other side, Yi Tian felt that he was fine. He had been passively defending just now, so he didn't consume too much spirit qi.
This flywheel was also thought up by Yi Tian based on the high-level spells recorded in the Fire Spirit Art and his own spirit weapon. After testing it, he was still very confident.
The two flames, one red and one green, collided in the air and didn't give way to each other.
After a while, Yi Tian controlled the flywheel to pass through the ghost fire and continue to fly towards the tiger-headed man.
Zhao Youcai didn't have time to dodge. He saw the flywheel turn sharply and streak across his chest. Half of his body fell down.
After Yi Tian put away the magic tool, he felt a heartache. The ghost fire had corroded the surface of the magic tool beyond recognition.
It seemed that he had to take it back and refine it. He didn't think that his magic tool would be damaged like this after only a few uses. This also made Yi Tian realize that he was seriously lacking.
The order of the World Edge Pavilion had always been maintained very well. Although it was the furthest transit station from Chiyang School.
It was still within Chiyang School's sphere of influence.
Since the White Bone Gate had infiltrated half a year ago and caused a new disciple to be hunted down, the sect had sent more people here.
The shops on the street were all regular customers, so the reputation of the shops was more trustworthy.
However, today, the steward of the World Edge Pavilion brought a team of patrolling guards to seal up the Li Feng Shop.
The people beside him didn't know what Shopkeeper Zhao had done. They thought that he had offended a customer and was being sued. However, there was no need for the steward of the World Edge Pavilion to come personally.
Some of the people who had information had already run far away, afraid that they would be implicated.
It was said that the Li Feng Shop was a station set up by the White Bone Gate in the World Edge Pavilion. Shopkeeper Zhao was a subordinate of the White Bone Gate's outer sect branch, Yang Mingyang.
The sneak attack half a year ago was very easy to explain. Zhao Youcai must have contacted Yang Mingyang.
He must have given the exact departure time of the Sky Patrol Ship to allow the White Bone Gate to attack. It was said that many people had died that time.
Yi Tian, the initiator of all this, was now on his way back to the sect.
Half a day ago, he had learned a lot from the battle with Zhao Youcai in the red pine forest. He had learned a lot about the combination of spells and magic tools.
After killing Zhao Youcai, Yi Tian found the White Bone Gate's sect token, a jade slip that recorded the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and some blacksmithing materials in his storage bag.
It seemed that Zhao Youcai wasn't a blacksmith. Otherwise, how could he not have his own magic tool?
After taking away the spell manual, Spirit Stones, and some materials, Yi Tian also found a letter written on a piece of cloth.
The content roughly recorded that the person with the highest aptitude among the new alchemists was called Wu Xing. He had a third-grade pill furnace in his hand, and his body was full of fire spirit qi.
He should have cultivated a high-level fire spirit art. When he was refining pills in the Alchemy Hall, he had taken out a bottle of Grand Passion Wine.
After reading the letter, Yi Tian found that cold sweat had appeared on his back.
It seemed that Wu Xing had been targeted. However, who would care about an outer sect disciple who had just entered the fifth stage of Qi Refinement? This didn't make sense.
Thinking back, he had been in contact with Wu Xing for more than half a year, and he hadn't seen him offend anyone from the White Bone Gate.
There was also the Grand Passion Wine. He didn't brew much wine, but he had given Wu Xing two bottles.
He had recently used it in the Ice Soul Cave trial, and once to escape from the Seven Evil Witch's pursuit in the Red Flame Hills.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian finally understood. It seemed that the Seven Evil Witch had blamed him and Wu Xing for her failure to kill Ling Tong.
However, this didn't make sense. His wooden stake had almost hurt her. There was also no information about him in the letter. Could it be that he wasn't strong enough and couldn't be compared to Wu Xing, that pretty boy?
Unable to figure out the reason, Yi Tian simply put it aside and put the letter away.
Two hours later, Yan Jungang and three disciples of the Discipline Hall, who were stationed at the World Edge Pavilion, arrived at the location of the fight under Yi Tian's lead.
After checking Zhao Youcai's body and storage bag, Yan Jungang immediately sent someone to inform the steward of the World Edge Pavilion to send someone to seal up the Li Feng Shop.
He also instructed them to search the shop thoroughly and not let go of anything suspicious.
As for Yi Tian's performance in this matter, Yan Jungang also questioned him personally.
He also asked his assistant to make a record. These things had to be reported to the Discipline Hall headquarters.
Recently, the White Bone Gate and the Corpse School had appeared frequently in Chiyang School's territory, which had attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
This time, Yi Tian had unintentionally removed the contact point of the White Bone Gate, which gave the Discipline Hall a chance to dig deeper into the spies hidden in the sect.
This time, Yan Jungang didn't hide Yi Tian's contribution. He even explained the Aodongguo incident to Yi Tian.
Yi Tian hadn't filed a record with the sect, so even if he had contributed, he couldn't be awarded contribution points.
Although Yi Tian's contribution this time was an accident, the Discipline Hall would still treat him fairly.
In the end, he even assured Yi Tian that he, Yan Jungang, would definitely give him a satisfactory explanation.
Hearing that Commander Yan was the most impartial person in the Discipline Hall, Yi Tian was relieved. What happened next wasn't his responsibility.
Thinking about the letter, Yi Tian felt that it was better to return to the sect and see the situation first.
There were at least two spies from the White Bone Gate hiding around him. Moreover, Wu Xing had already been targeted. He couldn't just ignore this matter.
Seeing that Yi Tian was anxious to return to the sect, Yan Jungang sent his assistant to escort him in case any more accidents happened. He rushed back to the World Edge Pavilion.
Yi Tian knew that this man was going to purge the World Edge Pavilion.
The Spirit Child incident had greatly embarrassed the sect. That was why the Discipline Hall had sent such a fierce person to take charge.
Although the four commanders were all Foundation Establishment experts, this Yan Jungang was an expert among experts. It was said that he had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
If he became a Jin Dan within thirty years, he would be a strong candidate for the next Discipline Hall Master.
