Not necessarily … "
The old man still shook his head.
At that moment, a huge crane suddenly flew over from the sky, heading straight for Gu Jianqiu.
Gu Jianqiu waved his sleeve, and the crane suddenly turned into a scroll and landed in his hand.
Blergh!
After reading the information, Gu Jianqiu immediately spat a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with shock, "How is this possible?!"
Five supreme martial masters were killed!
The 100,000-strong army was defeated!
"Mad Southern Ye!
What a Mad Southern Ye! "
The latter's face twitched a few times before he looked at the old man in the Daoist robe, "Brother Qi, is this your hidden chess piece?
"How can I treat such an existence as a chess piece?"
The old man in the Daoist robe smiled, "I'm just following the orders of the forces and the heavens!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Jianqiu with a faint smile, "Are we still playing chess?"
"Retreat!"
Gu Jianqiu's expression changed. He gave the order and left unwillingly.
…
Daizhou was tens of thousands of kilometers away from Longjing.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people!"
"That's 100,000 people. Even if 100,000 pigs stand still and let them kill them, it'll take them a month, right?"
A man in a dragon robe was smashing things in the house with a ferocious expression. Countless people knelt in front of him, not daring to move at all.
After the commotion subsided, an old man stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, and the news of us intercepting and killing has been spread. Now, the people are angry everywhere …"
The moment that was said, the man in the dragon robe immediately sneered, "Send a message to the others. We'll attack tonight!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was shocked!
The man in the dragon robe turned around and looked at the sky. Coldness surged in his eyes, "I want the world to fall into chaos because of me!"
…
Night fell.
The capital of the Great Dynasty, Longjing!
In a luxurious mansion in the east of the city, Ye Chen set up a barrier and began to count his consumption and gains from Langya County after sending everyone away.
Ever since he returned to the capital with Yun Yi and the rest, Yun Yi had asked the young emperor to give him a mansion.
This mansion covered an area of nearly a thousand mu. It was the mansion of the former Minister of Revenue. However, the former Minister of Revenue was arrested for corruption, and the mansion had been empty until now.
As the story of his trip spread, he became the topic of discussion for everyone in the Great Dynasties.
As a result, in just half a day, the outside of the mansion was filled with people. Countless people handed over their name cards to see him.
Among them, there was no lack of high-ranking officials, nobles, or righteous men of the Jianghu. There were even people who wanted to challenge him.
However, the commotion only subsided after Ye Chen kicked an intruder out.
"This time, I obtained 500 Spirit Stones, and all of them are low-grade Spirit Stones. There are also countless exotic flowers and herbs, but their grades aren't high.
Ye Chen secretly calculated the income of his trip. He did not expect that there would be a day when he would be so poor.
"Fortunately, Yun Yi has already returned to the palace. I believe that she will deliver what I want soon."
He put all the things back, smiled in satisfaction, and was about to go into the house to see his daughter.
The little girl had eaten a lot of low-grade medicinal pills recently. Perhaps it was because of the large amount that she was prone to drowsiness.
Right at this moment, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up at the courtyard. He said, "Since you're here, show yourself."
At the next moment!
A figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. It was an old man in a purple Daoist robe. His figure was slightly hunched.
"A quasi-saint?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed.
He could sense the aura of a quasi-saint from the other party's body. This was also the first quasi-saint he had seen in the Ancient Desolate Realm.
When the old man was less than ten steps away from him, he suddenly stopped and cupped his fists, "State Preceptor of the Great Dynasties, Qi Tiandao, greets Fellow Ye!"
"You're the State Preceptor of the Great Dynasties?"
Ye Chen's eyes focused and he said calmly, "Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"Fellow Ye, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
A strange gleam flashed through the old man's eyes as he looked at Ye Chen.
"Why are you waiting for me?" Ye Chen frowned. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
He had never met the other party before, let alone had any friendship with him.
"I know you have many questions. Let me explain later!"
As if sensing his wariness, the old man smiled faintly. Then, he waved his sleeve and a storage bag landed in Ye Chen's hand.
"Fellow Ye, there are 10,000 spirit stones in the bag. It's the surplus of the Great Dynasties for a year!"
Ye Chen reached out and took it. He probed it with his Divine Consciousness and found that there were exactly 10,000 spirit stones. The spiritual energy was much more abundant than the ones he had obtained before.
"This is the first big gift from this old man to you!"
After seeing him accept it, the old man seemed to be relieved. Then, he flicked his finger and a golden token shot at Ye Chen.
"Fellow Ye, this is my second gift to you. This is the Wormhole Teleportation Token that connects the Great Dynasties to the other four hells!"
The old man said slowly.
Ye Chen accepted it and looked at the former, "Fellow, you're here on the orders of the Empress Dowager, right?"
Whether it was the spirit stones or the Wormhole Teleportation Token, they were all promises that Yun Yi had made to Ye Chen earlier.
Although he knew that the other party would not go back on his word, he did not expect it to be so efficient.
"I still have a third gift to give you!"
The old man did not answer the question and said, "The Empress Dowager once said that you came out this time to look for your wife?"
"That's right!" Ye Chen said.
The old man said, "Do you have the eight characters of birth?"
Ye Chen frowned.
As if sensing his displeasure, the old man said, "To tell you the truth, I know some divination. Perhaps I can help you find the whereabouts of your wife."
Ye Chen's gaze at him finally changed, "The reason why you're so drained is because you've suffered a backlash from forcefully comprehending the heavenly secrets, right?"
He had only recovered his Golden Core True Essence. If he was at a close distance, he could completely deduce Su Yuhan's whereabouts.
However, on the way here, he had secretly deduced it, but he could not deduce it at all. This meant that Su Yuhan was too far away from him.
Moreover, the art of deduction also involved familiarity with the space he was in, such as the location of the eight trigrams.
"Fellow, you have a sharp eye!"
The old man smiled faintly, "My master is a master of metaphysics. I've studied this all my life. I dare say that I'm number one in the entire Northern Region! “
After hesitating for a while, Ye Chen eventually wrote Su Yuhan's eight characters of birth in the air with his bare hands and handed it to him.
After the old man took it, the piece of paper shattered and turned into countless light spots that rose into the sky.
If one looked closely, they would realize that the light spots were actually glowing words.
At the next moment!
The old man stretched his hand and collected all the words in his palm. Then, he bit his middle finger and formed strange marks on his palm.
"Open my left eye to see Yin and Yang. Open my right eye to see the world. The 36 Heavenly Spirits above, the 72 Earthly Fiends below.
Keep me alive, Ghost Path … "He took a deep breath in and performed hand seals with both hands.
