Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

After solving a fierce battle, Ye Chen went back to stabilize the realm.

Despite the news from the Nangong family, Nangong Yao should have arrived yesterday.

It seems that something happened that caused the failure to come, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Ye Chen is more worried that the members of the He family will be unfavorable to the Ye family. If they do something behind the scenes, the Ye family will be his weakness.

Although there is the blessing of the empire, it is still impossible to ensure that nothing will happen. Although he dare not take too many actions on the surface, it is not necessarily true behind the scenes.

On the same day, he received a letter from Nangong Xiangyang.

After seeing the content of this letter, Ye Chen was taken aback on the spot.

According to the letter, Nangong Yao broke the soul tablet shortly after leaving the Nangong family, which is not good news.

Conservatively speaking, if the soul stele is broken, it is close to death. Even if it survives, it is only the last breath left, and the number of lives is not much.

At least the soul stele is either broken into powder, or there is a glimmer of hope, but the hope is not great.

Ye Chen's face gradually became serious. At this time, Nangong Yao had an accident, which was obviously not a good omen.

He is clear about Nangong Yao's strength. Now that he has reached the realm of Martial Venerable, even in the entire imperial capital, he is definitely a top figure of the younger generation, and is even enough to become the mainstay of some big forces.

Such a person, even if they are ambushed or besieged by others, they may not fall on the spot. Even if they encounter a higher realm and more people than themselves, they can still last for a while.

To become a top disciple of the Nangong family, one must have some means of saving one's life so as not to be besieged and killed.

Moreover, with the deterrent power of the Nangong family, there are only a handful of people who really dare to attack him.

He still couldn't believe it, but the news about the Nangong family couldn't be false, the matter had already become very serious.

Maybe the He family has secretly dispatched stronger monks, which can only be achieved by the top strength in the family.

"What happened?" Ye Min'er asked in surprise.

Seeing that Ye Chen's face was not very good-looking, she just guessed that something bad happened.

"Nangong Yao had an accident on the way and was suspected to be dead. His whereabouts are unknown now. Nangong Xiangyang invited me to help investigate the matter secretly."

Ye Chen told the information mentioned in the letter in detail, and upon hearing this, Ye Min'er's expression became very ugly.

She is still clear about Nangong Yao's strength, and she has already seen how extraordinary this person was when she met last time.

Now she felt the same sense of crisis in her heart.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Min'er asked.

"What else can we do? Go and investigate. After all, Nangong Yao came here for us. Now that his life and death are unknown, if we remain indifferent, it will be beyond reason and reason." Ye Chen said lightly.

Ye Min'er wanted to refute something, but couldn't find any good excuses.

After all, it was too dangerous, even if Nangong Yao fell, they might not be able to find anything, but they would put themselves in danger.

But when things came to an end, it was inevitable.

"You are a disciple of Misty Sect, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to put yourself in danger, just stay in Ye Family." Ye Chen said.

He could see Ye Min'er's mind, it is human instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, he will not force others.

And this time, he didn't have much confidence, only with the life-saving function of the system, even if King Wu came, he couldn't kill him.

"No, I'll go with you."

Not long after, the two arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet Nan Gongyao, and they followed the trail for clues, hoping to find something.

On the way, they saw traces of a battle.

There is no large-scale battle happening now, but the destructive power is astonishing. Several big trees hugging each other were crushed into sawdust during the battle, and there are still traces of burning on the ground.

And the deep pit on the ground, which is three feet wide and two feet deep, was forcibly punched out by powerful martial arts.

"It's the trace left by the water-type martial arts. This matter may be related to the Xishui Pavilion." Ye Min'er said suddenly.

Ye Chen took a look in the past, and saw the water elemental breath left in the bushes and around the battlefield.

"Come on, let's go to the Xishui Pavilion." Ye Chen said.

The Xishui Pavilion is relatively close to this place. Although it is only a second-rate sect with fewer experts than those of the top forces, there are still many Wu Zun experts sitting in it.

The two entered quietly, and when they got outside the mountain gate, the sky had already darkened.

The two even blended into the night and sneaked into it quietly. The trip went smoothly without too many obstacles.

"The owner of the Xishui Pavilion, it may be that he personally faced Nangong Yao in this matter. With his peak Martial Venerable Realm, the strength of a half-step Martial King is enough to form a crushing situation."

Ye Min'er said in a low voice: "But we are not his opponent at all, and if there is too much disturbance, we will attract many powerful people to besiege us, and it will be very difficult to escape."

Ye Chen smiled faintly, and stretched his hand into his bosom, seemingly taking something close to him, but in fact he was taking something in the space of the hybrid system.

Soon, he took out a bamboo tube.

"It's obvious that we can't beat it, but we can still poison it." Ye Chen said.

Ye Min'er gasped, hidden weapons or poisoning were despised by people in the Jianghu, but now I really can't care so much.

They have already dealt a cruel blow to Nangong Yao behind their backs, and they must have been besieged by many strong men, which has already broken the rules, but the news has not spread.

Not long after, Ye Chen had already injected the poisonous mist into the room of the pavilion master. In just a quarter of an hour, the pavilion master of the Xishui Pavilion had already noticed that his meridians were blocked, he had lost his cultivation, and became a mortal.

"who is it?"

He exclaimed, his face was a little flustered, and at the same time, he subconsciously had a bad feeling.

At this time, Ye Chen and Ye Min'er walked out slowly.

"Pavilion master, don't panic, I just have a few questions I want to ask you."

Ye Chen said coldly: "Who killed Nangong Yao!"

"What did you say? Isn't he in the Nangong family? Why was he killed suddenly, and someone made trouble on the Nangong family's territory? Who is so courageous?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, trying to get away with it, Ye Chen stepped forward and grabbed his neck.

"If you don't say anything else, I will run your true energy retrogradely, making you miserable and ruining your cultivation!"

As soon as these words came out, the Pavilion Master of Xishui Pavilion panicked immediately, and quickly told all the news he knew.

After a while, Ye Chen finally learned that this action was planned by the He family, and the owner behind the Xishui Pavilion is also the He family.

As for Nangong Yao, he is still alive.
