Chapter 69: Back to Sifang Chamber of Commerce

  Lao San saw Ye Xuan's tense expression, looked at him with confusion, and suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan stuttering: "You! You! You won't be the missing apprentice of Kong Da Shi, will you?"

  Ye Xuan didn't think that Lu Lao San would guess it, and he didn't deny it either. He nodded his head in response: "That's right, I'm the missing apprentice!"

  "Whoa, Master Kong accepted you as his disciple? So that means you've cultivated spiritual energy?" Lao San's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he had discovered a new continent.

  "He does have some talent!" Ye Xuan nodded.

  "Hmm, I found out you're not an ordinary person on the way to Shaonan County that time! Since you're a disciple of Kongdai Master, don't you know what happened?" asked Luao San with furrowed brows.

  "Never mind, I unexpectedly fell into this trap as soon as I came in, and I don't know what happened afterwards. You tell me again!" Ye Xuan replied casually.

  "Alas, later Mo Ruo Tian saw this and was furious, seized Ruan Shan, like holding a small chicken, and asked him what happened in the cave." Lu Lao San said with a smirk.

  "How did he respond?"

  "That Ruan Shan said that in the cave, they split into two paths and walked, and didn't know why Kong Dashi and his apprentice would do so. Mo Ruotian was very angry when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do about it, after all, the Tengsha of Sanqing Temple and our Poison Dragon Gang's leader Longzi An were present. In the end, they had no choice but to have someone carry Kong Dashi and his apprentice back."

  "Is that it?"

  "It's not over yet!" Old Third Road shook his head and said.

  "Is there anything else?" Ye Xuan asked with a stern expression.

  Just as Mo Ruo Tian had just left, the people of San Qing Guan were about to leave when something unexpected happened. A green figure suddenly darted out from the woods and rushed towards Ruan Shan. The speed was so fast that even Feng Sha didn't react in time, and Ruan Shan's Qian Kun bag was instantly in the hands of the green figure. Feng Sha and Long Zi An immediately blocked it, but the green figure was too fast, turned around and disappeared! Lao San seemed to be telling a story about a monster, with an expression of incredulity and unbelief.

  Ye Xuan was taken aback by the emerald green figure, realizing it was him. That day he went to the forest, although he didn't notice a figure on the tree, how could this escape the all-knowing Old Chaos?

  "Tengsha's tone was really something, and it wasn't until later that I found out all the treasures from the mountain cave were in Ruan Shan's Qiankun bag. It was truly a case of 'the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits.' The Sanqing Temple and the Sifang Chamber of Commerce didn't get anything." Lao San continued to chatter on.

  Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Lu Lao Da, thank you for your words, I'll go back and take a look at my master first!"

  "Ah, brother, are you leaving just like that? Don't go in with us to search for treasure?" asked Lu Lao San in surprise.

  "No way, I see that all the treasures have been snatched away by Sanqing Temple!" Ye Xuan said, waving goodbye to them and turning to leave.

  "Are we still going in?" Luo Cuihua asked timidly.

  Lao San thought for a moment and said: "Let's go too, I reckon there are only traps inside, no treasure!"

  ……

  Ye Xuan finally returned to the Four Directions Chamber of Commerce, and after inquiring, he learned that Kong Dashi and Fu Long were both unconscious and had been taken to Mo Ruo Tian's residence.

  Mo Ruotian heard that Ye Xuan was back and immediately sent someone to summon him. When Ye Xuan returned to Mo Ruotian's mansion, he found that the large sculpture of the Zi Yang treasure sword in the courtyard had an additional large palm print on it, which was indented. Ye Xuan was shocked when he saw this, and it was clear that this palm print must have been made by Mo Ruotian. He didn't expect his palm strength to be so powerful.

  "Yexuan, you're back?" At this time, Moruo Tian walked out of the house and said calmly.

  Ye Xuan replied solemnly: "Mo Hui, how are Master and the others?"

  Mo Ruo Tian replied, "Both of them have been unconscious for half a month now. I think they might have been poisoned by some kind of rare toxin. Especially your master, who was severely injured. Do you think it's their doing?"

  Ye Xuan then told Mo Ruotian everything that had happened that day.

  Mo Ruo Tian listened to the end, unexpectedly did not get extremely angry, and instead said lightly: "I already knew it was them who did it. However, on that day, Teng Sha and Long Zi An were both there. To be honest, with those two joining forces, I alone didn't have the confidence to defeat them, so I could only endure."

  At this time, two men in black came to the yard, both with a gloomy face, calm and cold. Yexuan looked at these two people from afar, and he could feel the goosebumps on his body rising, it was a feeling of surging killing intent, exuding a hint of chilliness.

  Two people quickly walked up, one of whom was slightly taller and spoke respectfully to Mo Ruo Tian: "President, I and Huo Yu have investigated the matter of our supplies being robbed last time."

  "Oh? Who did it?" Mo Ruo Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at him.

  "The Du Long Gang is involved, and San Qing Guan has also participated!" Another black-clad man named Huo Yu replied.

  Mo Ruo Tian nodded and turned around to think for a moment. Finally, he said: "Water Dragon, Fire Fish, you two have been keeping a close eye on San Qing Guan and Du Long Gang for me these days. I want them to know that the supplies of our Four Directions Chamber of Commerce are not easy to take."

  The dragon and the fire fish nodded and left in response.

  "Yexuan, go take a look at your master and Fu Long, they are in the left courtyard." Mo Ruotian walked towards the house without looking back.

  Ye Xuan arrived at the mansion on the left, guided by the guards, and saw Kong Dashi and Fu Long lying on the bed, both with pale faces, furrowed brows, and unconscious.

  Ye Xuan asked: "Hun Dun Lao, can you confirm that they were poisoned?"

  The Chaos Old Man of the Soul's Heart was using his divine soul power to open up the space of the Soul's Heart, when he heard Ye Xuan's question, he stopped and his divine soul power immediately wandered onto Kong Daoshi and Fu Long. After a long time, the Chaos Old Man said: "They actually have the Locking Eyebrows Piercing Fragrance!"

  "What kind of poison is this, with fragrance piercing through one's heart and intestines?"

  "This poison is quite peculiar, if the poisoned person doesn't have an antidote, they will fall into a deep sleep and be no different from a vegetable."

  "Then you must know how to detoxify it?" Ye Xuan asked with hope.

  "I happen to know of an elixir that can counteract this poison, but it must be refined with the Xuanqi fire of the Moon Profound Realm!"

  Ye Xuan furrowed his brow and cursed, "Damn it! The Xuan Huo of the Moon Profound Realm is a pity that I'm not an alchemist!"

  "If you're not an alchemist, then just become one!" The old man glared at him with a confused expression.

  Ye Xuan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he rubbed his chin, asking: "Do you have a method for cultivating the mysterious fire of the void?"

  Hun Dun Lao was taken aback, laughing and scolding: "You little fox, you're plotting against me again!"

  Ye Xuan looked at Hun Dun like that, and was certain that he must have it. He said immediately: "Quickly, give me the cultivation method of the Xuan Qi fire. I say you have some good things, why are they always hidden? I remember when we first met, I asked you for a heart method, and you said there wasn't one, or that you had lost your memory. I think you're hiding quite a few things in your belly."
