The night was misty, and even the moonlight was hidden behind the dark clouds.
Elder Ye walked slowly and snorted in his heart. "I'm afraid of some ghosts. I have to squeeze into a space. I'm afraid I don't want to suffocate me to death!"
Suddenly, a crow sounded in the forest, making the old man tremble.
"Dead bird, it's still screaming here in the middle of the night!" He cursed angrily and suddenly changed direction. Instead of going to the hut, he turned and walked towards the courtyard where he lived.
"Sitting there is not an option. I can go back to my room and get a book to pass the time."
As soon as Elder Ye stepped into the courtyard, he saw a dark shadow standing in front of the door of the house. There were no lights in the house. At first glance, the black shadow seemed to blend in with the night like a ghost.
He was frightened, then turned from fright to anger, and said sternly: "Who the devil is, you dare to threaten me, you will die a bad death tonight!"
"It's me...Elder Ye..."
Xuan Ye lowered his voice. Although he only had a 70-80% resemblance, his body shape was quite similar to that of the deceased Elder Xiao. With his robes, he could be mistaken for the real one.
"Old ghost Xiao, since you are already dead, why are you running out?" Elder Ye's face turned blue, and his hand was already holding the pearl and jade pen at his waist.
"This...don't ask you to accompany me!"
Xuan Ye took a step forward, and the cold wind blew up the curtain of his bamboo hat, revealing the ferocious smile on his face.
Elder Ye was really shocked and almost fell to the ground.
If Elder Xiao appeared, he was just panicking. Only when he saw Xuan Ye appeared did he really believe that the evil ghost was asking for his life.
He witnessed with his own eyes Xuan Ye, who was seriously injured and coughing up blood even while walking, fled deep into the Changhuang Well.
The place was so dark and creepy that few people who went in came back alive, and those who did kept silent about it.
Elder Ye also accidentally stepped onto the edge, only glanced at the Yin-Eating Ghost from a distance, and ran away in panic.
Now I even believe that Xuan Ye was assimilated by ghosts and came back to claim his life based on resentment!
Being timid before fighting is already a small defeat.
This is what Xuan Ye wants. As long as Elder Ye doesn't call anyone, the strategy will be successful.
As for the opponent's head, it is already in his pocket!
The wolf flicked its hair horizontally, and the long knife fell to the ground with ink stains, and was gently dragged towards the opponent.
Elder Ye's face turned paler and paler. He panicked and picked up his long pen. After forcing himself to calm down, he turned into a long sword and slashed at it!
The two swords collided, and the wind howled like a roar.
In the next move, wind and ink swept wildly, and the scattered ink energy broke through walls, broke trees, and destroyed the ground!
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves, and the yard became a mess.
The more Elder Ye fought, the more frightened he became. The opponent was clearly in the middle stage of transformation, and not only could he suppress him in the fight, but he also seemed to have some remaining strength.
But he has been in the late stage of transformation for many years, so he is naturally not afraid of a junior.
The timidity in his heart receded, and he immediately raised his spirit energy. The long sword in his hand spread out the ink, and the pen body exploded with bright light, knocking Xuan Ye out.
"Wandering Spirit Art, Night Soul!"
The dim light whirled around the body of the pen, the gloomy wind blew, and the cold invaded the surrounding areas.
The low chanting sounds were like ghosts calling for souls, floating back and forth in the courtyard.
However, the sudden burst of red light instantly covered up the dim light, and the powerful aura was like a raging fire, almost burning everything in the courtyard.
It was also the Wandering Spirit Art, but Elder Ye felt the difference between starlight and bright moon at this moment.
His face turned pale, and he knew that the situation was over, so he remembered that he could ask for help.
"Pah-pah!"
Fireworks flew into the air and exploded into brilliant fireworks.
In the yard, the splashing blood turned into little falling flowers just like the fireworks.
Xuan Ye wrapped his head away, wrote a sentence on the ground with blood, and then disappeared into the dark night.
In the main hall, when all the disciples saw the fireworks, they turned to look at each other and looked at each other, but no one dared to make any move.
Ye Cheng also saw the scattered fireworks, frowned, and remained silent for a while but still didn't get up.
"Master, Elder Ye..." Elder Wu only said half a sentence before he saw Ye Cheng rush out of the door.
After a while, a roar alarmed the entire Thousand Machine Sect.
Elder Wu stepped into the courtyard and found that it was in a mess. A headless corpse was nailed to an old tree with a round bead, and there was a line of blood on the ground.
"Hang your head in the Lu family for three days, and you and I will be cleared of all grudges. Anyone who stirs the head will be killed!"
After reading it, he felt frightened. He never expected that the other party would be so cruel.
In this way, three out of four Qianji Sect elders have been eliminated, and most of the deacons under the sect are only in the early stage of transformation, which can be regarded as a general trend.
After this battle, even if it is not swallowed up by other sects, it will plummet.
Ye Cheng shattered the old tree with one palm and put Elder Ye's body down. Hatred pierced his heart, like a burning fire.
"Beast! I will skin you, remove your bones, and destroy your entire clan, so that I can appease my third uncle's soul in heaven! Elder Wu, take people to Lumen immediately!"
Elder Wu had already begun to think about retreating. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but hesitate. "This...even Elder Ye is no match for me. I'm afraid..."
"Bring all the deacons and disciples with you, even if you dig the ground three feet into the Lu family, you must dig out that beast!"
Ye Cheng almost gritted his teeth, his eyes were filled with blood, and he stared at Elder Wu coldly. "When this is done, you can go or stay as you wish. If you go, Ye will not stop you. If you stay, I will make you a prince."
Elder, what you use inside the door from now on will be the same as mine!"
Elder Wu immediately accepted the order and went to Lumen with his deacons and disciples.
Only a few disciples were left to work with Ye Cheng to place Elder Ye's body.
This time, white silk was hung in the main hall, and the headless corpse was placed on a long table covered with white cloth.
There was a brazier on the ground and three incense were lit.
Ye Cheng knelt in front of the long table, his head tied with a filial piety belt, his face sad.
The disciple preparing for the funeral next to him looked solemn, fearing that he might accidentally offend Ye Cheng and be slapped to death.
Thinking of this, they wanted to go to Lumen to find the murderer rather than worry here.
Just after dawn, screams came from outside the hall, and a disciple ran into the hall in a panic. "Door...door..."
Before he finished speaking, he screamed and half of his arm fell to the cold hall.
The disciple covered his broken arm and kowtowed heavily to Ye Cheng. "Master, spare your life! There is... a man in black robes who came to express his condolences. The package in his hand seems to be a human head!"
Ye Cheng got angry and slapped the disciple to death on the main hall, then walked out the door in a cold voice.
At this time, Xuan Ye also stepped into the gate. Several disciples surrounded him, but they did not dare to take a step closer.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance across a small courtyard.
Ye Cheng's eyes were cold, but Xuan Ye's eyebrows were smiling, as if they were incompatible with each other.
"You're not dead!" Ye Cheng almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"Not only am I not dead, I also want to destroy the Thousand Machine Sect!" Xuan Ye smiled coldly, put down the bag, took out a thousand scrolls of wolf hair and showed Mo Feng.
Ye Cheng glanced at the bag and knew what was inside without opening it. His remaining sense allowed him to suppress his anger and did not take action immediately.
"Why are you not dead, and why can you escape the Qianjimen's search? Tell me, and I will give you a happy life!"
Xuan Ye didn't expect that Ye Cheng would care about this. Could it be that he thought he had a chance to guard against the next one?
No, Qianjimen will die today!
He chuckled lightly. "It doesn't hurt to tell you, because after that elder died, I never left Thousand Machine Sect from the beginning to the end!"
That's right, after Xuan Ye sneaked back to Kuili City, he first stayed in the dead Elder Xiao's room so that he could use his old clothes to pretend to be a ghost.
After killing Elder Feng, he moved to Elder Feng's residence.
Because of Ye Cheng's lack of attention, no one will search these two places. They are excellent hiding places and the most advantageous point for the smooth implementation of his plan.
Ye Cheng suddenly realized this and couldn't help but laugh up at the sky. He thought that he planned his whole life and took every step carefully, walking on thin ice, so that he could sit on the position of the master of Qianji Sect.
Now, he is being plotted by a kid!
He was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, and every decision he made fueled the other party's troubles. To be honest, he was the one who destroyed Thousand Machines Gate!
"Boy, I really don't understand. You are so smart, how could you offend Bi Ling Sect?"
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and slowly took out the black bead and ink hair. Without waiting for a reply, the ink hair turned into a spear. With a flick of his wrist, the spear came out like a dragon!
Xuan Ye picked up the wolf hair and turned it into a spear and rolled it away.
When the spear points collide, the sound is like a clang and the ink splashes like flowers.
After dozens of moves, both sides retreated dozens of steps, and the fight ended in a draw.
Ye Cheng moved again, the ink on his hand emitted a faint light, and the Wandering Spirit Art started again, but it was different from the first battle.
A jet-black crow revealed its true form and landed gently on his shoulder. It seemed illusory and real, but it also contained infinite power.
"I will never underestimate the enemy this time. Even if you are a fierce ghost, I will beat you to death!" Ye Cheng's words were devoid of any emotion. He recited the magic formula, and the dim light on his body flickered on and off until it turned into a beam of light reaching into the sky.
Get up!
"Hungling!" Xuan Ye murmured, and suddenly saw a crow rushing towards him. In a trance, one turned into ten, and ten turned into a hundred!
He secretly yelled that it was not good and immediately used the Wandering Spirit Art. The red light rushed out, but it could only slow down the crows slightly.
As the crowd of crows attacked, it was like thousands of knives rolling around. The knives shredded the clothes, penetrated into the bones and flesh, and blood spurted out, turning Xuan Ye into a bloody man in the blink of an eye!
Pain, unspeakable pain all over my body!
Xuan Ye smiled, and his sneer turned into a ferocious smile.
The opponent was in the Hunling Stage, and he never thought that this battle could be won easily, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to mobilize the disciples of Qianji Sect.
It was precisely the difficulty of winning that made his blood boil again. Zhou Tian's spiritual power surged towards him, and the momentum in his body rose again and again. At this critical moment, he broke through the confinement and entered the late stage of transformation!
The help brought by the breakthrough allowed Xuan Ye's wounds to heal quickly, so fast that even Ye Cheng was frightened.
Ye Cheng finally understood why Xuan Ye became more and more courageous in the last battle, because the person standing in front of him was not a human at all, but a monster!
However, the gap in realm is still there. Even if you break through to the late stage of transformation, the gap from the early stage of Hunling is still irreparable.
Since the opponent can recover from his injuries, he will kill him until his blood is dry. If that doesn't work, he will cut his body into pieces!
With a thought in his mind, the chant came up again, and the crowd of crows turned into a strong wind and rushed out again.
Xuan Ye didn't have time to feel the changes brought about by the breakthrough. The demon blood in his body was stirred up, and red demon aura emerged from all parts of his body, mixing with the ink aura of Langhao with his thoughts.
With a roar, the red light turned into a big sword and rushed towards the crowd of crows!
