Hearing this, Ye Qiu and Ye Wushuang quickly looked around, but saw no one at all.
"Master, is that old woman nearby?" Ye Wushuang asked.
"Hmm." Ziyang Tianzun hummed softly.
Ye Qiu was about to find the old woman. He muttered a spell silently and drew a tracking charm quietly. However, the tracking charm only condensed in front of him for three seconds and then dissipated.
"Um?"
Ye Qiu was a little surprised.
His methods were not hidden from Ziyang Tianzun and Ye Wushuang.
Ziyang Tianzun said, "There are powerful restrictions here. Your cultivation is too weak, so you can't use the tracking charm to find out the whereabouts of the old woman."
"Look at me."
After Ziyang Tianzun finished speaking, he waved his sleeves.
Suddenly, a ray of light hit the river.
In an instant, the dark river split to both sides, and a hole appeared at the bottom of the river in the middle.
"You're actually hiding under the river. These people in the underworld are pretty good at hiding." Ye Qiu said.
Ye Wushuang snorted coldly and said, "Sneaky people only deserve to stay in a place like this."
"Let's go, let's go have a good talk with the people in the underworld." Ziyang Tianzun, a master of arts, was brave. After saying this, he took the lead to step into the cave entrance.
Ye Qiu and Ye Wushuang followed closely behind.
It was pitch dark inside the cave entrance, you couldn't see your fingers, and there were gusts of wind from time to time. A timid person would have been frightened and fled long ago.
However, Ye Qiu and the others are not ordinary people.
They were not afraid at all and walked along the entrance of the cave for a while. Suddenly, a stone wall appeared in front of them.
There are hundreds of holes in the stone wall.
The size and shape of each hole are exactly the same, and I don't know where they lead.
Ye Qiu said, "If I guess correctly, this should be a maze deliberately set up by the people from the underworld. There is only one hole leading to their lair, right?"
Ziyang Tianzun used his spiritual mind to investigate and said, "You are only half right."
"Oh?" Ye Qiu was confused.
Ziyang Tianzun said, "I just investigated and found that there is indeed only one cave entrance that leads to the hiding place of the killers. However, all these cave entrances have been dug, and the other end has been blocked by the people from the underworld using formations."
"To put it simply, there is only one hole that can enter, but people in the underworld can come out from any hole."
"I think these holes were deliberately set up to confuse the enemy, and at the same time, they were also their way to escape."
Ye Wushuang said coldly, "These killers are quite cunning."
Ziyang Tianzun said, "If the underworld were not cunning, it would not have been able to exist for so many years."
Ye Qiu said, "Master, I have an idea. Let's block those cave entrances now. In this case, no one in the underworld can escape."
Ziyang Tianzun said, "I'm here to reason with them, why should I block their escape route?"
Pack!
Master, just keep pretending!
Ye Qiu didn't believe it at all.
Ye Wushuang said next to him, "With Master's cultivation level, unless he does it deliberately, who can escape?"
Ye Qiu suddenly realized, "Yeah, how could I forget this? Look at my brain."
Ziyang Tianzun smiled and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, Ziyang Tianzun walked directly into a cave entrance, and Ye Qiu and Ye Wushuang immediately followed.
at the same time.
Ten miles away from here, there is a great hall.
This is the branch of the underworld in Donghuang.
At this time, the atmosphere in a dark hall was solemn.
Sitting at the top of the center is a man dressed in black. His hair is tied up with a golden crown, and he wears a black fang mask on his face, with only two eyes exposed. He looks very mysterious.
To the left of the masked man stood a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. He was wearing a commoner and a feather fan scarf. His thin face was particularly fair, as if he had not seen the sun all year round, and he had a long beard on his chin.
To the right of the masked man stood a burly man with a beard and an appearance like Zhang Fei, carrying a big hammer on his shoulder.
He was nearly three meters tall, with his upper body naked and his muscles like hills. His legs were thick and strong, like two copper pillars. He stood there like a giant.
Under the main hall, an old woman was kneeling. ??
If Ye Qiu and the others were here, they would recognize at a glance that this old woman was the one who was let go by Ziyang Tianzun earlier.
At this time, the old woman was trembling all over and was extremely frightened.
"Granny Ghost Sword, why are you the only one back? Where are the others?" the masked man asked.
"Reporting to the hall master, everyone else is...all dead." The old woman's teeth were chattering as she spoke. It was obvious that she was afraid of the masked man.
"All dead?" The masked man's eyes turned cold and he said, "In order to kill one Ye Wushuang, I lost five Killing Saints. Isn't the price too high?"
"But fortunately, the mission is accomplished."
"Presumably Lord Hell will not blame me if he knows this news..."
"Hall Master!" Granny Guijian said tremblingly, "Ye Wushuang... is not dead!" <
br>
"Ye Wushuang is not dead?" The masked man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly, "Why is he not dead?"
The scholar and the burly man beside him also looked at Granny Ghost Sword in unison.
Suddenly, Ghost Sword Granny felt like a light on her back, and she bravely reported, "The hall master is unaware of something, the information is wrong, Ye Wushuang is not an ordinary sword master."
"He got a mysterious sword box from the Holy Land of Taichu, and his cultivation level increased greatly."
"At this time, his combat power is comparable to that of the Great Sage."
"No." The masked man said, "Don't say that Ye Wushuang's combat power is comparable to that of the Great Sage. Even if he is a real powerful Great Sage, the six of you can kill him together."
"Granny Ghost Sword, what are you hiding?"
Granny Ghost Sword quickly said, "Master, my subordinates did not hide anything. It is true that Ye Wushuang's combat power is too terrifying. We are no match for him."
"If I hadn't escaped quickly enough, I might have died in Ye Wushuang's hands."
The masked man's eyes darkened, "The mission is not completed, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Granny Guijian almost fell to the ground, her voice trembling as she said, "Please forgive me, Master."
The masked man said, "I ordered you to lead the men to assassinate Ye Wushuang. Now the task has not been completed, and five killing saints have died. How do you want me to explain to the King of Hell?"
"If I spare you, will Lord Yama spare me?"
"Bai Xiucai, what do you think we should do with Granny Ghost Sword?"
The middle-aged man who looked like a scholar shook the feather fan in his hand and said slowly, "If you fail the mission and suffer heavy losses, you should be punished with death."
"But Granny Guijian, as the leader of the team, has an extra level of guilt."
"Therefore, Granny Guijian deserves to be executed by Lingchi!"
