Mortal Seeking Immortal

Seeing that Wu Yong's eyes did not light up when he saw food like before, Wu Fa was pleasantly surprised. He had been worried about Wu Yong's strange illness for more than a month.

Wu Yong was also very surprised. He looked at Ye Zhou and saw Ye Zhou wave his hand, untied the rope on his body in an instant, and took out a fasting pill from the storage ring.

"Wu Yong's strange illness just makes him hungrier than ordinary people. He can relieve his symptoms by taking the fasting pill I made."

After hearing this, Wu Fa and the others thanked Ye Zhou repeatedly and agreed to let Wu Yong go to the secret realm with Ye Zhou.

Because the secret realm had not yet been opened, Ye Zhou left a few bottles of Qigu Pills for Wu Yong and prepared to return to the cave to continue practicing. Unexpectedly, when he was flying on the sword, he received a message from Qi Lao: "Friend Ye, come to my shop quickly."

Because Qi Lao was quite accomplished in the art of refining, Ye Zhou wanted to make friends with Qi Lao. In addition to going to the market from time to time to exchange ideas with Qi Lao, he also left a communication jade talisman for Qi Lao to communicate with him.

However, since Ye Zhou and Qi Lao met, Qi Lao had never contacted Ye Zhou on his own initiative. Now he suddenly contacted him with such an urgent tone. Ye Zhou was worried that Qi Lao was in trouble and did not dare to delay.

Ye Zhou was about to leave for the market, but considering that the Sixth Elder forbade him to leave the Spirit Beast Sect, he wanted to report to the Sixth Elder and get his consent.

On Wuliang Mountain, Ye Zhou flew to the hall where the Sixth Elder lived. Just as he was about to report, he met Wan Du Daoist and Bai Li Chen who came out of the hall at the same time. Wan Du Daoist looked very unhappy, while Bai Li Chen was smiling.

After seeing Ye Zhou, the two bowed to him at the same time. Wan Du Daoist left in a hurry after the greeting, while Bai Li Chen stood there, smiled and looked at Ye Zhou and said, "Brother Ye, are you here to see Master?"

Ye Zhou nodded.

Baili Chen said, "Then please go in quickly, Senior Brother. Master will meet a distinguished guest later, so he may not have time to see you again."

Ye Zhou thanked him and was about to leave for the hall, but he heard Baili Chen say behind him, "The journey to the secret realm is about to start. I wish you a successful return and to spread the power of our Spirit Beast Sect. Senior Brother, please do not let me down."

Ye Zhou frowned when he heard this. He and Baili Chen did not have a very good relationship. Why did Baili Chen suddenly say this?

Ye Zhou looked back at Baili Chen, but only saw his back flying away on a sword.

Baili Chen's words cast a shadow over Ye Zhou's heart, but seeing the Sixth Elder was important at this time. Ye Zhou suppressed his doubts and stood outside the hall, clasping his hands and said, "Disciple Ye Zhou, I have something to ask for Master."

The next moment, the voice of the Sixth Elder came from the hall: "Come in."

As soon as Ye Zhou entered the hall, he saw the Sixth Elder sitting on the high platform with a heavy face, as if thinking about something.

Seeing Ye Zhou enter the hall, the Sixth Elder asked absentmindedly: "What do you want?"

Ye Zhou bowed to the Sixth Elder and said: "Master, for this trip to the secret realm, I specially found someone in the market at the foot of the mountain to order a magic weapon. Today, the magic weapon has just been refined. I want to go down the mountain to pick it up. I hope Master will allow it."

The Sixth Elder pondered for a moment, and Ye Zhou added: "If Master is worried about my disciple leaving the sect, you can send a senior brother to go with me."

The Sixth Elder may have thought that he had left a mark in Ye Zhou's body that was easy to track, and the market at the foot of the mountain was not far from the Spirit Beast Sect. If Ye Zhou wanted to escape, he could catch him back at any time, so he agreed to Ye Zhou's request to leave the sect.

However, the Sixth Elder immediately reminded: "Don't stay outside for a long time. The sect will lead a team to the secret realm within a few days."

Ye Zhou bowed and said yes, and left the hall.

Leaving Wuliang Mountain, Ye Zhou flew to the market at the foot of the mountain on a sword.

Before leaving the sect, a figure flew out from the side and blocked Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou's mind moved, and he hurriedly stopped the flying sword under his feet. When he saw the face of the person who came, Ye Zhou was surprised and said, "Is it you?"

The person who came was the disciple of the Sixth Elder, Wan Du Dao Ren.

Since the last time Wan Du Dao Ren left the sect to do a mission, he was chased by the demon cultivators all the way, which led to the failure of the mission. After returning to the sect, he began to secretly investigate Ye Zhou and Bai Li Chen, suspecting that one of them had a connection with the demon cultivators.

At first, in Wan Du Dao Ren's mind, Ye Zhou, who became the disciple of the Sixth Elder, was the most suspicious.

But after tracking for many days, he found that Ye Zhou was practicing all day in the sect, and there was nothing suspicious. On the contrary, Bai Li Chen's whereabouts were strange all day, often concealing his breath and secretly going to the back mountain, which was very suspicious.

At this point, Wan Du Dao Ren began to shift his target and changed the tracking object to Bai Li Chen, and also put a spirit insect that was good at tracking on Bai Li Chen.

When following the spirit insect to the back mountain, the Taoist Wan Du unexpectedly found the demon cultivator who had chased him last time, and he was more certain that Baili Chen was related to the demon cultivator.

From then on, the Taoist Wan Du began to follow Baili Chen secretly, hoping to collect evidence of his collusion with the demon cultivator, so that he could expose Baili Chen in front of the Sixth Elder in the future.

On the one hand, he could avenge the demon cultivator's pursuit and killing him halfway, and on the other hand, he could make great contributions, and maybe he could be accepted as a personal disciple by the Sixth Elder.

Unexpectedly, during this tracking, the Taoist Wan Du discovered that Baili Chen had contacts with many disciples in the sect.

Some of the disciples who had close contacts with Baili Chen were originally selected to participate in this trip to the secret realm, but recently they were injured due to various reasons such as duels and could not participate in the trip to the secret realm.

The Taoist Wan Du began to suspect that something big might happen in this trip to the secret realm. These disciples who were on good terms with Baili Chen got the wind in advance, so they would not hesitate to refuse to enter the secret realm by self-mutilation and other means.

The trip to the secret realm had nothing to do with the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons, but thinking that Ye Zhou was going to participate in the trip, he wanted to remind Ye Zhou a few words and do Ye Zhou a favor, so that Ye Zhou could also speak well of him in front of the Sixth Elder in the future.

Ye Zhou naturally didn't know what the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons was thinking, but he saw that the Taoist of Ten Thousand Poisons looked tired, as if he had been busy for many days and had not rested well.

Taoist Wan Du looked at Ye Zhou expressionlessly as usual and said, "Brother Ye, for the sake of our fellow disciples, I advise you to be careful on this trip to the secret realm."

Ye Zhou was curious and asked, "Why did you say that? Could it be that there was something wrong with this trip to the secret realm?"

Tao Wan Du shook his head and said, "I don't know what the specific change is, but it's always right to be careful. In addition, you must be careful of Baili Chen. I suspect him..."

When Taoist Wan Du said this, he seemed to see something, his face turned extremely pale in an instant, and he quickly stopped talking and flew to Wuliang Mountain on his sword, without even saying goodbye to Ye Zhou.

Just as Taoist Wan Du left, Ye Zhou's consciousness sensed that Baili Chen was flying over on his sword. Ye Zhou turned around and saw Baili Chen stopped not far behind him.
