It was already night when Ye Chen returned to the Taoist mansion.
The heaven has changed its master, but this night is surprisingly quiet, and the silence is a bit scary. I always feel that there is a layer of cold haze in the dark, shrouding the minds of people in the immortal world, feeling depressed, and there are many ominous premonitions. .
In the dark night, there are men in black sneaking into the lower world.
Those were all sent by Yin Ming to follow the Immortal Family who resigned, not to kill them, but to know where they were hiding, just like thieves stepping on them, so that when they are liquidated in the future, there is no need to bother looking for them.
This is the new king of heaven. He will definitely take revenge. He is targeted by the master of heaven. Even if he hides in the ends of the earth, he will not be able to escape execution.
In the past few days, Ziwei Daofu, which was crowded with people earlier, has become extremely quiet. No one comes to look for people to make elixirs. It is not that there is no real fire, nor that there are no materials. It is because they are afraid of getting too close to Ye Chen. He Will be implicated in the future.
In the purple bamboo forest, Ye Chen was quietly carving wood carvings.
He was deeply touched by the gloom in heaven, just like when Heng Yue and Yin Zhiping were the Holy Sons in the past, there was an invisible panic.
"My little friend, are you here?"
Late at night, there was a call.
Before he finished speaking, he saw an old man walking in. He was covered in a black robe and wrapped tightly. He looked very sneaky and looked like a thief. He came to find Ye Chen to make alchemy. Because Yin Ming was in power, , that’s what it is.
To put it bluntly, he was avoiding suspicion, fearing that when Yin Ming came to settle matters with Ye Chen in the future, he would also be dealt with, and the old immortal was also afraid!
"If you are dissatisfied, you can resign."
Ye Chen spoke in a leisurely manner. He knew very well that the old immortal was dressed like this. Now he was a hot potato, and no one dared to get too close to him.
After his intention was seen, the old immortal king was quite embarrassed and couldn't help but sigh, "Even in the Sanxian world, it is difficult to maintain peace. I know Yin Ming's nature very well. Anyone who dares to resign and go to the lower world at this moment is the one who is the best and will be hated by him. .”
Having said this, the old immortal stopped for a moment and looked at Ye Chen tentatively, "He will settle the score with you, why not leave as soon as possible."
"Thanks for the reminder, senior." Ye Chen smiled.
Without saying a word, the old immortal king left the alchemy materials, elixir recipes and real fire, and left the bamboo forest. Wrapped in a black robe, he used secret methods to cover up the opportunity. It was not scary to find Ye Chen to make alchemy secretly. What was scary was being known by outsiders. .
Ye Chen put down the carving knife, melted the real fire, and sacrificed it to the alchemy furnace.
In the next few days, people came loosely, one by one, in the middle of the night, and they were all covered in black robes. They were dignified immortals, looking like thieves. They came and left quickly. .
Ye Chen didn't care about this, and made elixirs as soon as he had the real fire.
As for their life and death, he didn't care. Others didn't want to get too close to him, and he wouldn't rush to join in the fun.
For the time being, he is still safe. Yin Ming has just taken up the position and has too much to do, but he has no time to pay attention to this little guy. When everything is stable and the heaven is confirmed to be under control, that will be the time for him to truly take revenge.
As for him, he just wanted to learn the Tao and refine elixirs with peace of mind in order to achieve a breakthrough.
On the ninth day, I saw that Yin Ming had made a big move, and his decrees were spread all over the world.
As Ye Chen expected, Yin Ming took action against his seven royal brothers. For one reason or another, he removed their military power and replaced them with his own direct lineage. Most of the seven princes were sent to remote areas. Ming Ming On the surface, he is an official, but in fact, he is an official.
They were not the only ones who were demoted from the military power, but also those who had a gap with him in the past. Anyone who held a heavy army was the target of attack. They paid equal attention to kindness and power, and cut off their wings without bloodshed to stabilize their throne.
In addition, there are countless people who have been dismissed from office and imprisoned in the court. The newly appointed people are all his close followers, and one of them has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
It really lives up to the old saying: one emperor and one courtier.
Yin Ming's actions made the entire heaven panic.
It's another deep night.
Three people entered the purple bamboo forest, namely Taiyi, Taibai and Siming.
"Aren't you afraid of Yin Ming's plot if you come here so blatantly?" Ye Chen looked at the three of them with a smile.
"We are all little shrimps, and he still doesn't like us." Taiyi said with a smile.
"It's you, if you have nothing to do, go down to the next world! When Yin Ming frees up his hands, he will definitely settle the score with you." Taibai took out the wine bottle.
"When the time is right, I will resign." Siming also sat down.
"Huashan welcomes you at any time." Ye Chen patted the sawdust on his body.
"Forget it about Huashan, Fengchan Immortal Land should be a good place." Taiyi stroked his beard, "If what I predict is true, it won't be long before there will be a big war, and your Huashan lineage will be the primary target. , I know Yin Ming very well. His ambition is even greater than that of his father. How can he be satisfied just to be the master of heaven? The master of the entire heaven is his goal. Which tyrant is not aggressive in military affairs, let alone the people of heaven who are strong and have strong background. Far beyond our imagination.”
"To put it bluntly, the Jade Emperor still supports it." Taibai said, "Would he not know about his son? Abdicating the throne and proclaiming himself is the best proof. It is a kind of tacit consent. It also tacitly agrees that Yin Ming will reshuffle the heaven and unify the two. boundary."
"Just wait! It's okay if Yin Ming can do it. If he can't, the Jade Emperor will definitely unblock him and replace him with another prince, such as the third prince." Siming said leisurely, "He can help Yin Ming." Ming is in power, so he can pull him down. The most thief in the entire heaven is the Jade Emperor. He has been the ruler for thousands of years. His vision and scheming are unparalleled. This may be a conspiracy. Even his own children , even the comrades who had a life-long friendship back then were just one of the pawns."
"This is the emperor's house." Ye Chen immersed himself in carving wood carvings.
The three of them could see clearly, could he not see it? He was the second incarnation and the emperor of the dynasty. He was familiar with the art of the emperor, the tactics of the court, and everything. Compared with the Jade Emperor, Yin Ming was far behind, and Jiang was still the older one.
The four of them talked to each other, and it was almost dawn.
Reflecting the first red clouds in the east, another person stepped into the bamboo forest, wearing a purple Taoist robe floating in the air. Isn't it none other than Immortal Ziyang
This guy's character is not ordinary, he is ready to soar. He is a close confidant of Yin Ming. He is highly regarded and has been given some military power. He even walks with a lot of arrogance.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If Yin Ming is that person, and this guy is that little chicken.
"His Majesty has personally ordered that you participate in the peach feast."
Ziyang Immortal Lord said calmly, his words were quite majestic, and the eyes he looked at Ye Chen were slanted and full of disdain, like looking at an ant.
"Easy to say." Ye Chen's words were even more plain. From the beginning to the end, he did not raise his eyes to see the Purple Yang Immortal Lord, only burying his head in carving the wood carving.
The corners of Ziyang Immortal Lord's lips curled up slightly, and he turned around and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Taiyi and the others, smiling playfully, which made him even more playful.
"This once-in-a-hundred-year-old peach feast, the weakest ones are all second-grade, and the youngest ones are all Immortal Lords. It's really surprising that you are allowed to participate." Taibai stroked his beard meaningfully, "I'm afraid I'm going to deal with you. "
"I think it's best for you to come down to the realm as soon as possible." Siming said.
"He wants me to go down to the next world."
Ye Chen collected the wood carvings and changed into a brand new Taoist robe. He was determined to return to Huashan today. Tomorrow Huashan would be attacked by the heavenly army. He understood Yin Ming's plan. Although his little star king was inconspicuous, he would be a great figure. The fuse of a war.
This is another reason why he will not leave Heaven. Before reaching the quasi-emperor realm, he will not lead the war to Huashan.
Moreover, the search for the reincarnated person has not yet been completed, and Dharma Wheel King and Shura Tianzun are still in the heavenly prison. He has to watch from the heavenly court. When it is really necessary, even if he is in the Great Sage Realm, he will forcefully break into the heavenly prison and refuse to rescue him. How could the two of them leave peacefully
While he was talking, he had already changed into his Taoist robe and walked out of the Purple Bamboo Forest.
He hadn't left the Taoist mansion for many days. As soon as he came out today, the immortal family in heaven seemed to regard him as the god of plague. They would avoid him when they saw him from a distance.
The only blame is that Yin Ming is too cruel and no one dares to get into trouble.
