There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

The sudden appearance of the other party caught Ye Qingchen off guard.

He didn't even bother wearing the cloak of invisibility anymore. Relying on the other party's Nascent Soul's later cultivation level, he must have been able to detect the situation in the cave immediately.

He remembered that Xiong Renbao had said before that the affairs here were originally fully handled by his two brothers. The second elder brought the cauldron here just for a formality. In this matter, he should only be responsible for supervising and reaping the results.

Perhaps the Xiong brothers should have gone to hand over the spirit stones to the second elder, but at this time neither of them showed up. Therefore, the second elder felt that the situation was different and felt uneasy, so he came to investigate.

Ye Qingchen only had one thought at this time: The old man is so evil, my life is at stake!

The opponent's strength is two levels higher than his own, and he doesn't have any life-saving magic weapons on his body. He can't beat him no matter what.

The second elder raised his left hand, and a dazzling light came in.

After being stunned for a few breaths, he suddenly stretched out his right hand in the shape of an eagle's claw.

Ye Qingchen only felt that he was restrained by a powerful spiritual power, unable to break free and move. At the same time, his body was pulled forward by him, and his neck was strangled tightly, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"I have seen you during the day, but I didn't realize that you are actually a spiritual monk in the early stage of Jindan. It turns out that you are hiding your strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!

However, with your strength, you probably won't be able to kill the two brothers Xiong Rengui and Xiong Renbao. Presumably there are experts above you.

Who is the person above you? explain! "

The second elder spoke viciously, as if Ye Qingchen's neck would be broken immediately if he obeyed.

Ye Qingchen said with difficulty: "Hey, you... you hold on so tightly, what can I... say!"

The second elder relaxed slightly.

Ye Qingchen coughed a few times and said aggrievedly: "I was obviously caught here by them, where is anyone up there?"

"What are they arresting you for?"

"How do I know? I was playing by the river below today. They said I had stumbled into their secret and had to come here."

The second elder said angrily: "That's nonsense! You are a spiritual monk, don't they know?"

Ye Qingchen thought to himself, I have to follow him as much as possible now, otherwise he might kill me if he gets angry and disagrees with me.

"When the second elder saw me for the first time, he didn't realize that I was a spiritual monk because I had a treasure on my body that could hide my spiritual power."

The second elder's eyes flashed and he asked: "What treasure? Take it out and have a look."

Ye Qingchen took out the concealment cloak and handed it to him.

He knew that this treasure must be very useful to the second elder walking in the Chu Kingdom. If you can please him, you might be able to save a small life.

If he dies, the cloak will still be his. Being able to sacrifice soldiers to protect the commander is considered a victory.

The second elder raised his hand and threw Ye Qingchen into the center of the cave. He held the cloak in his hands and observed it carefully for a while, and indeed he looked delighted.

Ye Qingchen said: "I will go back to Taikoo Mountain tomorrow. This cloak is actually of no use to me. If the second elder likes it, I will give it to you."

The second elder snorted coldly: "This is mine, why did you give it to me?"

Damn it, this guy is so shameless! Ye Qingchen cursed secretly in his heart, but his face was filled with joy.

"Since you have been in this cave, tell me, where are Xiong Rengui and Xiong Renbao? Where is the cauldron?"

Ye Qingchen said: "Second Elder, the two Master Xiongs were doing magic here, but they didn't know what kind of treasures they got out. Later, they discussed it and said that they were working too hard, and all the benefits were given to you. The two of them were angry. Unfair, I finally put away the cauldron, walked out of the cave, and ran to who knows where."

"Nonsense!" the second elder said with an angry face, "They are both loyal to me, how can you allow you to provoke them? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you right now!"

"Everything I said is the truth! The second elder doesn't know something. They actually have a grudge against you for a long time."

"Now that they're gone, what are you doing here?"

Ye Qingchen replied: "Just because I worked with these seven friends today, I have some feelings for them. I can't bear to leave them here. I want to stay here for one night and find a way to save them tomorrow." go out."

In the opinion of the second elder, with Ye Qingchen's cultivation level, he could not directly fly with the wind to transport these strong men down the mountain. So this answer made him somewhat convinced.

"Hiss..." The second elder suddenly frowned slightly and took a breath of cold air.

He looked at Ye Qingchen with suspicion.

Ye Qingchen pretended to be frightened and hid beside the crowd of workers.

The second elder was hesitant. Although he trusted the two brothers Xiong Rengui and Xiong Renbao very much, he found that there was a crucial contradiction in this matter.

In his opinion, Ye Qingchen was no match for the two brothers, let alone able to kill them both.

But now that the two brothers and the cauldron are gone, there are only two possibilities, either as Ye Qingchen said, he stole the cauldron and ran away, or he was killed by other high-level monks.

If a high-level monk really came to kill the Xiong brothers, then why didn't he rescue Ye Qingchen and these workers together? What are you doing leaving them here?

Could it be that the two brothers really stole the cauldron and ran away? Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that this is the only reason that makes sense.

He looked at the sleeping workers and asked, "These people, why did you make these people unconscious?"

Ye Qingchen saw that he could tell at a glance that these people were knocked unconscious rather than falling asleep, so he had to explain: "I originally wanted to carry them, but it seemed that I was not strong enough and couldn't carry them. That's why I stayed here and wanted to wait. Go out and find some rope tomorrow and save them again."

The second elder raised his hand and used his spiritual power to grab a worker. He strangled his neck with his left hand and tapped his forehead with his right hand.

The worker suddenly woke up and when he saw the second elder, he was frightened out of his wits and begged for mercy again and again.

"Let me ask you, where are the two Master Bears who brought you here just now?"

The man turned his head and glanced at Ye Qingchen, and said awkwardly: "Go...go..."

The second elder exerted force on his hands, and the laborer grinned in pain and cried mournfully: "God, please forgive me, I say, I say..."

"If you dare to tell a lie, I will throw you outside and smash you into a pulp!" the second elder threatened.

The worker didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth: "The two Master Xiong were... killed by this young master!"

"What?" The second elder looked at Ye Qingchen in disbelief.

At this time, his eyes fell on the Yao bag on Ye Qingchen's waist.

"Bring me your storage bag!"

Ye Qingchen's heart sank, the cauldron was in the Yao bag.

The second elder discovered that I was the one who took the cauldron, and then discovered the more than twenty green spiritual stones. Together with the laborers' confessions, there were both witnesses and physical evidence. I absolutely couldn't explain it.

This little life must be sent here!

But at this time, he knew that he couldn't disobey him no matter what. Even if he didn't take the initiative to give the Yao bag, the second elder would definitely kill him and snatch it away.

He took off the Yao bag and deliberately did not throw it away, but slowly walked towards the second elder.

I secretly thought to myself that I would send it over with my own hands and wait until he was distracted to look at it to see if he could take the opportunity to slip away.

Although I know the chance is slim, there is really no other way at this time.

As he walked, he secretly glanced at the entrance of the cave, planning his escape route.

Suddenly, his expression changed and his brows lit up with joy.
