Mortal Seeking Immortal

Seeing the tired look on the shopkeeper's face, Xun Ke was about to help the shopkeeper go back to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper waved his hand and refused and said, "I just heard you say that Senior Ye wants to retrieve that treasure from Zheng Yao?"

Xun Ke nodded and said truthfully: "Senior Ye indeed said that."

The shopkeeper murmured: "How could the things that entered Zheng Yao's pocket be returned? Not to mention that the treasure is extremely rare."

Xun Ke said: "Maybe Senior Ye has the support of an expert behind him, so he dared to take back the treasure from Zheng Yao."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Looking at Senior Ye's appearance and clothes, he doesn't look like a disciple of a powerful monk in the city. With his cultivation in the alchemy realm, if he comes to you rashly, I'm afraid there will be another withered skeleton in the city."

When Xun Ke heard this, his eyes were full of anxiety. He turned around and left to remind Ye Zhou, but was hurriedly stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Stop! Xianliu City is so big, do you know where Senior Ye lives? If you rush to find Senior Ye, if Zheng Yao's people find out, neither you nor Senior Ye will survive."

Xun Ke said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, Senior Ye helped us, I can't watch Senior Ye die."

The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Senior Ye, have you asked for news about Zheng Yao?"

Seeing Xun Ke nodding, the shopkeeper's frown slightly relaxed and he said: "Although Senior Ye is young, he has a calm temperament and is not a rash person."

"Since he knows Zheng Yao's identity, he still dares to go to Zheng Yao, which means that he is fully confident that he can get back the treasure from Zheng Yao. You should not go to Senior Ye to avoid ruining Senior Ye's good deeds. ”

When Xun Ke heard this, the worry in his eyes faded a little, and he nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper asked Xun Ke a few more questions, and the expression on his face suddenly became very complicated: "Xianliu City is going to be in chaos!"

The shopkeeper could vaguely guess Ye Zhou's plan at this time, which was to take action against Zheng Yao and regain the treasure when he left Xianliu City and entered the Ghost Desert.

I am afraid that Zheng Yao will not easily return the treasure to Ye Zhou, and he will definitely kill Ye Zhou. In order to avoid future troubles, Ye Zhou will definitely kill Zheng Yao.

Once Zheng Yao dies, Zheng Yao's master, the Yuanying realm monk under the city lord, will definitely investigate to the end.

In order to quell the anger of Master Zheng Yao, the city lord will inevitably capture some insignificant people who have a grudge against Zheng Yao in the past and hand them over to his master. He, Xun Ke, and Master Zhao are the best candidates.

Once they fall into the hands of Master Zheng Yao, the three of them will surely die.

In order to survive and for the present, he could only find someone to trust and leave Xianliu City as soon as possible. In this way, he could not only save his life, but also not implicate Senior Ye. After all, except for the three of them, no one knew about Zheng Liu. The treasure that Yao snatched from their hands was entrusted by Ye Zhou to refine.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper stood up and said to Xun Ke: "Please watch the yard, I want to go out."

Xun Ke hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, it's dangerous outside. I'll go out with you."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "I just went out to visit old friends to see if we can leave Xianliu City early. You stay in the courtyard and guard Master Zhao. No one is allowed to enter the room and disturb Master Zhao's recovery."

Xun Ke glanced at the closed door behind him and had no choice but to watch the shopkeeper leave.

Xun Ke didn't know what the shopkeeper meant when he said, "Xianliu City is going to be in chaos." He just hoped that both Ye Zhou and Master Zhao would be safe.

Xianliu City, where Lin Yunshan and several people live.

Ye Zhou had already learned almost all the information about Zheng Yao from Lieutenant General Lin Yunshan. In addition, he also confirmed from Lin Yunshan that what Xun Ke said was true. It was Zheng Yao's men who smashed the shop that day.

Ye Zhou stood up and said to Lin Yunshan: "I am new to Xianliu City and am not familiar with the monks in the city. Thank you, Fellow Taoist Lin, for letting me know."

Lin Yunshan stood up at the same time and said: "You and I are our own people, so there is no need to be so polite."

After saying that, Lin Yunshan glanced around seemingly casually. Seeing that there was no one around, he set up a soundproof cover, leaned closer and whispered: "Fellow Daoist Ye, may I ask Zheng Yao how he offended you?"

Ye Zhou pretended to be ignorant and looked at Lin Yunshan and said: "Friend Lin, Zheng Yaosu and I don't know each other, how could he offend me?"

Lin Yunshan looked at Ye Zhou and said: "Then you just..., that's all, I just want to remind you that although Master Zheng Yao has accepted many disciples, only Zheng Yao is the disciple he values ​​the most."

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for reminding me, I won't do anything random."

Hearing this, Lin Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ye Zhou: "In recent times, the spirit insects in the Guijue Desert have not been as active as before and are much safer than before. In addition, the poison of fellow Daoist Feng has been cured. After our Several people discussed that next time we patrol, Fellow Daoist Ye, you can rest in the city and don't have to go with us."

Ye Zhou knew the strength of Lin Yunshan and the others. As long as they did not enter the inner area, the current Guijue Desert was indeed not dangerous to them, so he did not refuse and nodded to thank Lin Yunshan for his kindness.

After bidding farewell to Lin Yunshan, Ye Zhou was about to leave the small courtyard when he saw Lin Xueer happily coming in from outside the courtyard holding a jade slip.

Lin Xueer's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Zhou, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Ye Zhou nodded slightly towards her and left the small courtyard.

There was a look of disappointment in Lin Xueer's eyes. Lin Yunshan on the side saw this and didn't say much, but just sighed slightly.

Lin Yunshan naturally saw that Lin Xueer was interested in Ye Zhou, but unfortunately Ye Zhou only focused on his cultivation and had no other thoughts.

After leaving the small courtyard where several people lived in Lin Yunshan, Ye Zhou did not rush back to his residence, but walked in the opposite direction to his residence.

Soon, Ye Zhou arrived at a street with few people. There were a few shops scattered on the street. Ye Zhou's eyes swept through these shops and finally stopped at one of them without any signboards.

"It seems that this is the shop that Lin Yunshan said."

This shop does not sell items, but only sells various news. There are three such shops in Xianliu City, and the other two are located in the city center and the market.

Ye Zhou asked Lin Yunshan about the location of this shop because he wanted to check the list of monks who left Xianliu City recently and see when Xun Ke and the other two would leave Xianliu City.

The consequences of killing Zheng Yao were not only thought of by the shopkeeper, but also by Ye Zhou. He did not want to implicate the shopkeeper and the other two, so he planned to wait until the shopkeeper and the other three left before taking action.

Ye Zhou flashed into an alley, put on a black robe to cover his identity, and then appeared in the shop.

Standing in the shop, Ye Zhou looked around.

The store was not big, and there was nothing in the store except a counter facing the door.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed as a shopkeeper was standing behind the counter, looking at Ye Zhou with a smile on his face. There was a faint formation fluctuation on the wall behind him.
