Chapter 233: No wonder he didn't want Yan Jun

When Lu Xingzhou and his master spent the night in Bai Mao's ice house, Ye Tinglan's divine sense swept over once during the night and again at dawn when the two of them awoke to explore the small secret realm; seeing everything normal, he focused on investigating the dragon bone matter.

From the time Lu Xingzhou encountered Long Qinghuang, turned back to Hanlan City, and returned to the glacier, the time was very short. How could Ye Tinglan have imagined that in these mere two hours of not paying attention, Lu Xingzhou would have developed such a deep connection with the Demon Emperor?

And her exploration of the dragon bone also encountered a difficulty.

The so-called "middle bidder" was, of course, someone from their Tianyao Holy Land; at this moment, the dragon bone fragments were all in their hands. When the Hanlan Sect went to the original owner to search for the location of the fragments, the middle bidder from Tianyao Holy Land was watching from nearby, knowing that the Hanlan Sect had found nothing.

It was easy to judge that if ancient dragon bones truly existed, they would most likely be in the central area of the glacier, and for some reason, were about to emerge from the ice surface.

Tianyao Holy Land organized personnel to set up various defenses in the center of the glacier, mainly to guard against the Demon Emperor who was bound to arrive. After Ye Tinglan arrived, she personally took over the command baton and began exploring the ice layer.

After exploring all night, they similarly found nothing.

The ice layer in the center of the glacier was extremely solid, and digging downwards was very inefficient. Choosing several directions to dig simultaneously, after a whole night they had only dug a few feet.

But finding nothing after digging a few feet was wrong.

The fragments were all scattered outside; the dragon bones absolutely would not be buried very deep. Logically, even without digging, part of them should have been exposed above the ice surface; how could digging a few feet still yield nothing?

"The situation is somewhat wrong," Ye Tinglan said. "Suspend digging, restore status, hide and set an ambush, and fully prepare traps to deal with the Demon Emperor. I will go find someone to consult with."

Tianyao Holy Land Elder: "?"

Digging for things still requires finding someone to consult?

"Sect Master, someone has crossed the Ice Cold, approaching the center."

"The Demon Emperor?"

"... It seems to be someone from the Yanluo Hall."

Ye Tinglan swept with her divine sense, frowning slightly: "Eastern Ghost Emperor Ji Wenchuan, what is he doing here?"

"The Hell has no door, yet he insists on breaking in; let him enjoy the traps set against the Demon Emperor first."

"Wait." Ye Tinglan pinched her head: "Go forward to negotiate, ask what he is doing. If it is only for the dragon bones, tell him that I am personally here and persuade him to return."

The people of Tianyao Holy Land were stunned: "Why? Such a good opportunity to weaken the Yanluo Hall's arm."

Of course, it was because it was said that Ji Wenchuan had the best relationship with the Judge, at least giving Lu Xingzhou some face. Ye Tinglan did not say it explicitly, only saying: "Just do it."

"I am here to deliver a message!" Before the person sent to negotiate could even get close, Ji Wenchuan's voice was heard from far away: "I know Tianyao Holy Land is setting an ambush here; don't strike me treacherously!"

He actually knew Tianyao Holy Land was setting an ambush... The people of Tianyao Holy Land looked at each other in confusion. An elder appeared and stepped forward: "What message did Mr. Ji deliver?"

"Someone entrusted me to deliver a message to his teacher, saying that if she continues to ponder the dragon bones, he will take her veil to auction."

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Ye Tinglan. Ye Tinglan's face turned green then red; she personally went to see Ji Wenchuan: "What else did he say?"

Ji Wenchuan stared blankly at Ye Tinglan, as if seeing a ghost: "You are his teacher?"

"So what?"

I said why that young man could be so happy he forgot the Yanluo; it turns out there is a substitute!

This person looks almost exactly like a mature version of Yan Jun; where did Lu Xingzhou find him?

As one of the few people in the world who knew Yan Jun's true appearance, Ji Wenchuan's voice became three parts more cautious and flattering at this moment. He carefully said: "He said the dragon bones very likely do not exist, although he also does not know where the fragments came from."

Ye Tinglan was simply stunned into silence: "How does he know about the dragon bones, and even knows them so deeply? Wasn't he just gathering herbs and testing in the outskirts a thousand li away? In these mere two hours I haven't seen him, what happened?"

This was too outrageous; it was simply like a student in a rural private school somehow knowing the imperial court's secret deliberations this morning, and moreover, had even summoned a general from an enemy nation to help deliver a message.

Ji Wenchuan said: "If it is him, nothing strange he does is strange. Hmm... since you are his teacher, I, Ji, suggest that whatever matters you should lay out clearly with him; do not treat him as an ordinary disciple. Wasting such talent is simply..."

Ye Tinglan said angrily: "I lay matters out clearly with him. Do you know who I am?"

Ji Wenchuan said: "That is naturally the object of his pursuit. Otherwise, would he bow to someone as a teacher?"

Ji Wenchuan's thinking had been led astray by Lu Xingzhou; "Mr. is mixing with Tianyao Holy Land," he simply did not dare to think this person was the Tianyao Holy Master. Instead, the elder of Tianyao Holy Land nearby was simply stunned into silence, his mouth unable to close for a long time.

Do you people of the Yanluo Hall know what you are saying!

You are dead. But the imagined rage of the Holy Master did not occur; Ye Tinglan's face was only iron-green: "I have long heard Ji Wenchuan speaks without using his brain; today I know it."

Elder: "..."

It seems I know something momentous.

I am dead.

Ji Wenchuan did not beat around the bush, saying directly: "I read the letter; it just says the dragon bones have problems, asking you to meet him for a face-to-face talk; nothing special. Anyway, I have delivered my message; I am leaving now. Whether you go or not is up to you."

After speaking, he clasped his hands in a bow and floated away gracefully.

Ye Tinglan watched Ji Wenchuan disappear with an iron-green face, glanced sideways to see the elder on the side with eyes looking at his nose and nose looking at his heart, her silver teeth grinding with a "ge-ge" sound: "What expression is that?"

Elder: "Ah? This subordinate has no expression. That... the demonic path demon's mouth speaks without choosing words, talking nonsense; Sect Master, do not anger yourself."

You are so loyal, why didn't you beat him just now? Ye Tinglan's chest heaved with anger, and with a "shoo" sound, she disappeared directly.

The elder wiped away cold sweat; was this the legendary shyness?

Ye Tinglan appeared above Lu Xingzhou like the wind and lightning, raising a giant void palm as if to slap down.

Only when she was about to slap down did she suddenly remember that was Ji Wenchuan talking nonsense, not that Lu Xingzhou had said so; it seemed she could not blame Lu Xingzhou. Thinking for a few seconds, the void palm suddenly turned.

Ji Wenchuan, who was hiding on the side watching the show, was suddenly slapped into a dog-pawed mud, greatly shocked in his heart.

Are you sure this is a first-grade Mr.?

I have also broken through to first grade; how come I couldn't even withstand one move of hers!

Lu Xingzhou, what kind of girls are you dating! Ji Wenchuan broke out in a cold sweat and instantly ran away, leaving a human-shaped pit on the ice surface, vividly lifelike.

Ye Tinglan beating someone, Lu Xingzhou also noticed; he hurriedly shouted: "Mr., that is my friend!"

"I know that is your friend; precisely because that is your friend!" Ye Tinglan angrily landed on the ground: "What kind of fox friends and dog friends do you make!"

"... I have known him several years longer than I have known you."

"With that tone, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Can I not be dissatisfied?" Lu Xingzhou shouted angrily: "Mr. claimed to take me and A'nuo for a trial, but actually did so for the dragon bones herself. Did she not think that with the dragon bones appearing and the winds and clouds changing greatly, I and A'nuo would be in great danger here?"

Ye Tinglan paused for a moment, her voice dropping by seven or eight parts: "I originally thought the glacier was so big, you were only in the outskirts, and the matters over there had nothing to do with you."

Theoretically so... Lu Xingzhou also did not know what kind of shit luck he had; in such a big place, being in such an outer area, how could he bump into the Demon Emperor?

He still spoke in anger: "That would also greatly increase the risk. What if the demon race launches a massive invasion and sweeps across the glacier?"

"Then I would move you away immediately."

"It will be too late. By the time you move us, the grass on my and A'nuo's graves will be three feet high." Lu Xingzhou said angrily: "Do you know who we just encountered?"

Ye Tinglan fell silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The Demon Emperor?"

Lu Xingzhou was momentarily stunned, and his anger subsided considerably: "You've become smart?"

"You know about the Dragon Bones and have delved this deep. Seeing me angry, you must realize it involves grave danger." Ye Tinglan pressed her lips together and said in a low voice: "I apologize; I was too rash. But your... your luck is truly hard to describe."

Since she had apologized, Lu Xingzhou would not remain angry. He changed the subject: "You have been here all night; did you not see any powerful figures from the Tian Shuang Kingdom either?"

Ye Tinglan, upon hearing this, immediately realized there was a problem: "Mm, we did not see any."

"Then notify the Tian Yao Holy Land to move immediately. What we must do now is not search for the Dragon Bones, but use your combat abilities to search for the powerful figures of the Tian Shuang Kingdom who are deliberately hiding. If the Dragon Bones truly exist, they will only be there! Once found, hide and observe. If nothing unexpected happens, the demon race will fight them first. After all, the Demon Emperor is determined to obtain them, while you and I do not have such a strong need. We hold the initiative."

Ye Tinglan's expression became somewhat strange: "You... analyzed all this with the demon race?"

"So what? The Tian Shuang Kingdom has not only trapped the demon race, but you as well! What's wrong with letting their dog brains fight it out?" Lu Xingzhou said indignantly: "That stupid woman has made me so angry. She tricked me into a dangerous situation, yet I still have to worry about her!"
