The Return of the Great Emperor

Chapter 540 - Substitute soul

Hmm?

Ye Yan shuddered slightly and said, "Tell me more specifically."

When the head of the Li family opened his mouth, he naturally lost his guard and blurted out everything: "The ancestors got an ancient document, which said that everyone's life span is 200 years old at birth, but as long as they practice, they can break the upper limit of life span, but even for ninth-level mortals, the upper limit is only ten thousand years."

"When the time comes, the ghost will come to arrest the soul and die without illness."

"However, by refining a substitute soul, you can temporarily fool the ghost and take away only the substitute soul, so you can continue to live."

"But the ghost will find that he has detained the wrong soul and will come again after a while, so you have to keep refining substitute souls to continue to fool the ghost."

So, if you want to survive, you have to keep repeating this process, and naturally more and more people will be killed.

Ye Yan threw a pen and a piece of paper over: "Write down all the people you know that the Li family has killed over the years."

The head of the Li family paused, looked up and said: "One piece of paper should not be enough."

Ye Yan's eyes were sharp, and he took a pile of papers and threw them in front of him: "Write it."

The head of the Li family wanted to say more, but seeing that Ye Yan's expression was a bit murderous, he shut up to avoid suffering again.

He started writing, and soon wrote a page, and then another page.

Ye Yan watched, the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the killing intent became stronger and stronger.

After a while, Zheng Jiu also came over, and brought a large number of law enforcement team members: "People have been arranged to dig in Xinchengyuan."

Ye Yan silently handed over a pile of papers.

Zheng Jiu took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but blurt out: "There are so many!"

It records the burial sites of the Li family one after another. The head of the Li family didn't know exactly how many people were buried, but only used descriptions such as "about three hundred people" and "about two hundred people".

Zheng Jiu did not dare to neglect it and immediately asked someone to dig it again.

Finally, the head of the Li family finished writing, and he was so tired that he even moved his arms.

Ye Yan pondered in silence.

The document of the Li family was not obtained by accident, but someone deliberately passed it to them.

For the ancestors of the Li family, they got the means to be immortal, so they would do it no matter how bloody and cruel it was, but the question is, what benefits would it bring to the people behind the scenes?

It couldn't be just out of boredom, otherwise, why did Liu Xu suddenly die when he went to investigate this matter?

Unfortunately, he didn't know the various spells of the fairy world, otherwise he would be able to guess the clues.

Ye Yan asked for the document to check. It recorded in detail how to refine the soul of the dead, and there was nothing else.

He closed his eyes. The Li family got this document more than two thousand years ago, and then the Li family began to refine the soul of the dead, so that those who should have run out of lifespans would continue to live in the world.

But now the five ancestors of the Li family are dead, and there is no way to find out how they got this document.

Now we can only wait for the murderer behind the scenes to make another move, otherwise... the clues are broken.

Next, he doesn't need to intervene. The law enforcement team has dug up one burial site after another. The number is astonishing and shocking, which has angered the whole city.

The Li family suffered another disaster. All the people involved in the case were executed. Only some women and children were spared, but they were also driven out of Taiyang City and were never allowed to come back.

Ye Yan also put this matter aside for the time being, and waited for the day when the Qingxian Sect opened the fairy fate.

...

Somewhere.

The two sat opposite each other and were drinking tea.

"I never thought that after Liu Xu was dealt with and arranged to be drunk and drowned, that kid still dragged the Li family out again."

"Fortunately, even if the five old immortals of the Li family are still alive, they are completely unaware of the truth."

"Do we still need to deal with that kid?"

"The matter ends here. At worst, we can find another family. Hehe, who can resist the temptation of immortality?"

"But I always feel uncomfortable letting that kid go like this!"

"Don't underestimate that mortal. He can beat five with one. His strength should not be underestimated. We haven't walked across the fairy bridge and ascended to the fairyland. We may not be his opponent!"

"Brother, we have practiced real fairy magic. How can that kid compare? Besides, we have magic tools given by the immortals. Can that kid withstand it?"

"Forget it, the fairy fate of Qingxian Sect is great. The meeting is about to begin. Don't cause trouble at this time, otherwise you will be blamed by the master! If that kid enters the Qingxian Sect, we won't provoke him. If not... hehe, it won't be too late to kill him. "

"Then he can live for a few more days. It's really unpleasant to think about it."

"I warn you, don't cause trouble at this time."

"I know, I know, don't worry, senior brother. But our substitute souls are not much in stock, we have to get a new source immediately, otherwise we will-"

"I know, I know, it's about our life and death, how can I not pay attention to it?"

...

Ye Yan is focused on cultivation, tempering his own mana over and over again, but he used the Emperor Sutra to cultivate before, and laid an extremely solid foundation. Now it is only because the energy quality of the fairy world is higher that he needs to temper it again. Therefore, after tempering it more than a dozen times, he is almost done.

There is still room for improvement, but it is not big, and it has to be a long-term process. It may take more than ten years or even hundreds of years of slow tempering to reach the perfect state.

This had no impact, so Ye Yan was not in a hurry and quietly waited for the Immortal Fate Conference of the Qingxian Sect.

But before the Immortal Fate Conference started, Zheng Jiu suddenly came to visit.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"You asked me to pay attention to whether there are any families in the city who have suddenly recruited a large number of people recently. Haha, I really expected it!" Zheng Jiu said, "The Pang family, I have suddenly caught a large number of people from Heishui Village recently. The servant."

Pang Family?

Ye Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had killed a member of the Pang family before, but because he had wrapped himself in his own world, he still had not found this matter on his head.

Now it is actually related to the Pang family again?

It’s really a narrow road for enemies!

He nodded, "Okay, let me leave this matter, don't interfere first."

"Mr. Ye, you must be careful!" Zheng Jiu said in awe, with respect in his eyes.

Although the Pang family's power in the open is not as powerful as the Li family, there is an ancestor of an immortal servant living in Zhongcheng.

Immortal servant!

The same mortal is at the ninth level, but one has practiced the immortal skills, the other has not. How big is the difference in combat power?

It would be fine if the Pang family had nothing to do, but what if it was involved?

So should Ye Yan stick to his original intention and remain unchanged, or just pretend that he didn’t see it?

Because once the Pang family is moved, who can guarantee that the immortal will not take action?

Nothing small is involved in immortality!

Tell the truth to the immortal?

Haha, Taiyang City was built because of immortals. The immortal's words are the law and the rules!

If Ye Yan is really going to be killed by the immortal, will anyone jump out to seek justice for him?

No!

Death in vain!

Therefore, Zheng Jiu was worried about Ye Yan's safety and was afraid that he was afraid of the power of the immortal, so he let go of this matter.

Ye Yan smiled. He really looked forward to meeting the immortal for a while!

Can you match a first-level immortal with all your strength?

Of course, if that immortal knew right and wrong and reasoned, of course there was no need for him to fight with an immortal.

The law enforcement team members looked at each other, all in great difficulty.

Naturally, they didn't want to offend the old ancestor Pang, but the order they received was to take the people from the Pang family back for interrogation. Do they dare to disobey?

In a dilemma!

"Haha, Old Ancestor Pang doesn't have to make things difficult for these errands." Zheng Jiu walked out with a smile, "Your descendants used evil methods to sacrifice to the demon gods, harming the lives of innocent people, which violated the laws of the Qing Immortal Sect. , so our law enforcement team must take them away and interrogate them. Anyone who participates in this matter must be dealt with strictly, and those who do not participate will naturally not be embarrassed."

"Nonsense!" Old Ancestor Pang yelled, "Which onion are you? How about I? Liu Xu? Let him come over to see me!"

"Captain Liu is dead, I am the new captain." Zheng Jiu is not afraid, "Old Ancestor Pang, the existing evidence is very conclusive. You should not interfere, so you will not be able to protect your health later!"

Old Ancestor Pang was so angry that he smoked his orifices, and directly grabbed Zheng Jiu: "The little seventh-level mortal dares to jump up and down in front of me and be arrogant. Let's see how I deal with you!"

"Haha, what a great mighty!" Ye Yan also walked out, and he looked at Old Ancestor Pang, "Your descendants are human beings, are others not human beings?"

Old Ancestor Pang also looked at him and suddenly a clarity flashed across: "Are you Ye Yan?"

"Not bad." Ye Yan nodded, and the eyes of the two collided, and sparks appeared.
