Mortal Seeking Immortal

Before Ye Zhou could speak, he heard a cultivator of the third level of Qi training shouting loudly at the gate of a small courtyard not far away: "I am an immortal! I am of noble status. Let alone the death of a prince, even if the emperor of your royal family died, it would have nothing to do with me. Why should I go out and accept the questioning of you mortals?"

As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, a flying sword with a flash of cold light shot out from the gate of the post station with a "whoosh" sound, and cut off the head of the cultivator of the third level of Qi training with one sword.

The flying sword stained with blood flew back to the gate of the post station with a "whoosh" sound, and was put into the storage bag by the cultivator of the eleventh level of Qi training who was guarding the gate.

The eleventh-level Qi training immortal said coldly: "My name is Fan Luo, and I am the third disciple of the current state master. This time, the eldest prince was killed by an immortal cultivator. I am responsible for checking you cultivators living in the post station. I hope you will not waste our time. It will be good for both you and me to cooperate with us to end the inquiry as soon as possible."

As soon as Fan Luo finished speaking, Ye Zhou's heart sank.

He is a direct disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect. The eldest prince has committed serious crimes. He is indeed qualified to kill him on the spot, but this is the territory of the royal family of the Dawu Dynasty. Ye Zhou can kill him, but now is not the time to expose himself.

The death of the eldest prince is a big deal. Ye Zhou's actions this time will definitely anger many interest groups. The emperor may be dissatisfied with him because his son died, which is not conducive to his execution of the tasks arranged by the headmaster.

Ye Zhou plans to go back and report to the headmaster, who will make the matter public. By then, the emperor will not only not dare to be dissatisfied with Ye Zhou, but will also worry that the headmaster will blame him for dereliction of duty.

The scene of Fan Luo beheading the troublemaker stunned all the dissatisfied people in the post station. No one dared to question or be questioned. They all cooperated with the soldiers to walk out of the post station. Ye Zhou naturally followed everyone to the outside of the post station.

As soon as Ye Zhou appeared, Fan Luo's eyes fell on Ye Zhou. He strode towards Ye Zhou with a smile on his face: "Are you Ye Zhou, the disciple of the headmaster from the Immortal Sect? It seems that you have reached the tenth level of Qi training, which is not bad."

Ye Zhou said calmly: "I am Ye Zhou. You can ask if you want. I have to go back and memorize the mental method used when we work together to refine the elixir. If I delay the alchemy, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility."

Although Ye Zhou did not intend to reveal that he was the one who killed the eldest prince, he was not afraid of being found out.

If the royal family of the Dawu Dynasty wanted to take action against him openly, they had to go through the Blood Spirit Sect. What Ye Zhou was afraid of was that someone was secretly plotting against him.

Although there is a small mountain to protect it, the Dawu Dynasty is still home to many powerful cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

Fan Luo said: "Of course, I will never delay the matter of Ye Xianzhang's joint alchemy. According to my speculation, the cultivation level of the immortal cultivator who killed the eldest prince this time should be not low. I wonder why Ye Xianzhang left the city gate today?"

Ye Zhou was trying to find a suitable excuse for himself in his heart, but heard a familiar voice coming from the side: "Master Fan Luo, please forgive me. Ye Xianzhang left the city today at my invitation to accompany me to play. The guards on duty at the city gate today can prove this."

"I guarantee for Ye Xianzhang as a prince. The murder of the eldest prince has nothing to do with Master Ye. Master Fan Luo, you can go and ask other people."

"In addition, Ye Xianzhang's status is not trivial. If the eldest prince is really guilty, he can be killed openly. You should understand that as a disciple of the head of the immortal sect, he has that power, so how could he assassinate? If you really want to investigate Ye Xianzhang, I'm afraid that even if the national teacher comes, he may not be qualified!"

It was the sixth prince who came to help Ye Zhou speak.

The Sixth Prince walked quickly to Ye Zhou's side and smiled apologetically at him: "I'm very sorry, Master Ye, it's all my fault that I have implicated you and made you suspected."

What the Sixth Prince said is not without reason.

Ye Zhou's status is equivalent to that of the Foundation Establishment Manager of the Blood Spirit Sect, while the National Master is just a casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period in the eyes of the Blood Spirit Sect. If we really talk about status, he is not as good as Ye Zhou.

He is not qualified to be interrogated.

The Emperor is qualified, but the Emperor still relies on Ye Zhou to make pills for him, and he really doesn't suspect Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Who told us to go out at the wrong time? We just happened to encounter the murder of the eldest prince. It's really unlucky. Fellow Daoist Fan Luo, can I leave now?"

Fan Luo looked at the Sixth Prince and Ye Zhou suspiciously, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment. Fan Luo called a soldier and told him to go to the city gate immediately to confirm whether what the Sixth Prince said was true.

Two moments later, the soldiers who went to confirm came back and confirmed that what the Sixth Prince said was true. Fan Luo bowed his hands and smiled apologetically at Ye Zhou, saying: "In this case, the suspicion on Immortal Friend Ye can be ruled out. It is not my wish to ask Immortal Friend about the facts. I am just following orders. Please forgive me, Immortal Friend Ye."

Ye Zhou said calmly: "No problem."

As he said that, Fan Luo bowed his hands slightly respectfully to Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou politely returned the greeting, and then went into the small building where he had set up the formation with the Sixth Prince.

After entering the small building, Ye Zhou cast a spell, the formation was activated, and the mist covered the entire small building.

Ye Zhou bowed his hands to the Sixth Prince and said: "Thank you Sixth Prince for helping me out today."

Although Ye Zhou did not think that he would be found out, after the Sixth Prince's words, Fan Luo did not dare to check him, which saved Ye Zhou a lot of trouble.

The Sixth Prince waved his hands and said, "I should thank Immortal Ye. Today's incident was caused by me. May I ask Immortal Ye, does the First Prince... have anything to do with the three-eyed tiger python?"

Ye Zhou glanced at the sixth prince, nodded solemnly and said, "The three-eyed tiger python was raised by the eldest prince under the command of his monks."

There was a moment of confusion in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, and then he let out a long sigh and said, "I should have known earlier. All the officials in the area where the accident occurred were working under the First Prince. The news of so many casualties has not yet been reported. The imperial capital must have something to do with the eldest prince behind it...but I never thought that he was the one who raised it himself."

"Boss, you really deserve to die. Hundreds of people died. You deserve to die!"

Then the Sixth Prince looked at Ye Zhou, gave Ye Zhou a big salute, and said solemnly: "Thank you to Mr. Ye for helping the people to eliminate harm to the people. I am very grateful. If Mr. Ye has any use for me in the future, just let me know." Tell me, I will do my best."

Ye Zhou stretched out his hand to help the Sixth Prince and said calmly: "I just don't like him, so I just do it casually. The Sixth Prince doesn't have to pay such a courtesy."

The Sixth Prince said: "Ye Xian has great virtue! This is my salute to all the people in the world!"

.......

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and today was the day when Ye Zhou and others joined forces to make elixirs.
