The reason why Ye Qingchen took the initiative to suppress the bandits this time was not entirely due to good intentions. Its main purpose is to find out the black hand who is colluding with the landlord Huang Boren.

But once they reached the mountain, Zhu Xiaotian's men had already killed all the bandits.

When I was fighting with the old witch just now, I killed all four Transformation Masters in a rage. All the bandits in this mountain were dead, and there was no one left alive to judge.

If the girl who was captured in Turtle Back Village could not be found on the mountain, I am afraid that this visit would really just be a voluntary bandit suppression operation.

The sergeant major shook his head and said: "Master Ye, if any of the brothers find any hostages, they will definitely report them. How about I let everyone look for them again?"

Ye Qingchen was a little disappointed, shook his head and said: "No need, I will look for it myself."

Although this hall is large in scale, if a thousand soldiers come in to search, not to mention two living people, they may even be able to find mice.

If the two girls were really in the mountains, they must have been hidden in some extremely secret place.

He walked out of the hall and came to the platform outside.

It was already sunset on the west mountain, and the glow dyed the entire Xiangyang Peak blood red.

He looked up at the sky, and the ball of Baleful Yin Qi was still hovering in the sky and had not dispersed.

Ye Qingchen's heart sank. The old witch was dead, but the group of Baleful Yin Qi was still there. Could there be other monsters on this mountain?

He jumped up and walked towards the top of the tree. When he looked down, he was surprised.

It turned out that the main hall Zhu Xiaotian and others were in at this time was only halfway up the mountain. And more than twenty feet further up the main hall, it looks like a dense forest, but in fact there is a magic circle arranged.

"maze!"

Ye Qingchen saw through it instantly.

It turns out that the Baleful Yin Qi hovering in the sky is the energy source supporting this enchantment array.

This ecstasy formation is a primary magic formation, somewhat similar to a blinding method. To a mortal, it looks like it's just a dense forest, but if one breaks through the formation, there must be a Grotto-Heaven inside.

This kind of magic circle can only confuse mortals. For those who cultivate immortality, the higher their cultivation level, the easier it is to see through it.

Ye Qingchen was still on the Qi Refining Stage at this time, so when he was chasing the old witch just now, he did not directly discover the existence of the formation.

He stood on the top of the peak, leading the spiritual energy of Taiyue Mountain to come, forming a hurricane of spiritual energy in the air, and instantly blew away the Baleful Yin Qi in the air.

The true situation in the dense forest was revealed.

Sure enough, there are three courtyards on display!

He quietly landed on the roof of the courtyard and heard a noise somewhere.

He moved forward lightly, and through the cracks in the tiles, he saw that this place seemed to be a meeting hall.

In the middle of the top is a large chair covered with tiger skin, which must be the "throne" of the great master. But at this time, the head master had already met the King of Hell, so the place was empty.

There is a person sitting on the left side of the tiger leather chair. She looks like she is a woman, but her face cannot be seen from this angle.

The hall was divided into several rows, and there were more than ten strong men of different ages sitting in them, noisily discussing something, and all of them looked indignant.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to the boss! In order to lure Zhu Xiaotian, the door was opened wide. Now, all the brothers in the lower house have died, and the family property accumulated over the years has also been robbed!" A famous person said with a slanted face. The big man with a scar said angrily.

A strong man with a full beard said: "Leihu, you know what to do after the fact. Grandma has finally waited for a master of transformation, and she is determined to get it this time. Her soul-stirring technique must be practiced with the souls of living people, you If we set up defenses halfway and kill the person named Zhu, wouldn't it be useless?"

Scarface said disapprovingly: "Grandma captured Zhu Xiaotian's soul at the foot of the mountain. Why do we have to let him come up the mountain?"

The woman said in a deep voice: "What do you know? After all, Zhu Xiaotian also has the ability to transform. How easy is it to capture his soul? You must catch him first and make him unable to resist. The terrain at the foot of the mountain is wide. Even if grandma takes action personally, there is no absolute His confidence will allow him to catch him without any help."

Listening to her voice, it seems that she is not very old. Looking at where she was sitting, one could tell that she had the highest status among this group of people.

Unexpectedly, these vicious bandits were willing to worship at the feet of a woman.

Someone echoed: "Yes, the Grandmaster's plan this time was foolproof. Who could have expected that a Heavenly Realm Grandmaster would suddenly appear? Alas..."

"Bullshit, can the Heavenly Realm Grandmaster be grandma's opponent? That person should be an immortal cultivator like grandma!"

When Ye Qingchen went up the mountain, he had doubts about why the bandits did not set up defenses on the plank road. It turned out that they really wanted to let the officers and soldiers come up on purpose.

But they didn't expect that their target was Zhu Xiaotian, the master of transformation.

It must be that the old witch wanted to absorb the soul of a master of transformation to increase the strength of her soul-capturing staff.

So he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and set a trap, waiting for Zhu Xiaotian to come and die.

Presumably, the bandits who died in the front yard were just bait arranged by them, just cannon fodder who didn't know the situation.

The backbone elite of Xiangyang Peak were all protected by the old witch in this enchantment formation.

The bearded man in the hall said: "Second Master, don't be too sad. Although the food and treasures have been lost, as long as our power is still there, sooner or later we will be able to make a comeback!"

Everyone agreed.

"Yes, keep Qingshan here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. We can just go down to the mountain and snatch back the treasures they took away after a while!"

"Hmph, we have lost so many brothers, we can't just settle this debt. From now on when I go down the mountain, I will kill men when I see them and rob women when I see them. I must show them some color!"

"That's right, we were too kind before, and these dog officials thought we were easy to bully at Xiangyang Peak!"

In Ye Qingchen's eyes, these people are actually corpses. There is a forbidden circle on the plank road, and they cannot escape no matter what.

Kill them, don't rush now! Let their heads stay on their necks for a while.

Moreover, the purpose of his trip was to find evidence that these bandits were cooperating with Huang Boren to prove that Huang Boren was still evil.

He left the roof of this meeting hall and continued to explore around.

Sure enough, on the roof of a woodshed, through the cracks in the tiles, I could see two girls being imprisoned inside.

The two girls had disheveled hair, their hands and feet were tied, leaning on each other and leaning on the messy pile of firewood, with cloth towels stuffed in their mouths.

They looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with despair and fear in their distracted eyes.

"She is indeed a beauty. These bandits have quite good taste!"

He gently opened the tiles, jumped down, and landed in front of the girl.

The two girls were startled, their bodies shook violently instinctively, and then they moved to the corner of the wall in fear, making a "whimpering" sound from their noses, and tears streaming down their faces.

At this time, Ye Qingchen saw their appearance clearly, and was suddenly surprised and happy.

I saw that the two girls looked almost exactly the same, and they were quite similar to the Zixia Fairy in the famous movie I watched on Earth in my previous life.

Damn, are all the beauties in this world reincarnated from previous lives on earth?

Seeing the two of them scared out of their wits and trembling, Ye Qingchen suddenly felt pity in his heart.

He was just about to reach out and remove the cloth from the beauty's mouth, but he was worried that the beauty would scream in fright. It's not that he's afraid of bandits coming, it's just that he has other plans and doesn't want to alert the enemy in advance.

"Don't be afraid, girls, I'm here to save you. I'm going to take the cloth out of your mouths now, and you are not allowed to scream, so as not to attract the bandits and cause trouble. Nod if you agree!"

The two girls nodded hastily in agreement.
