As soon as Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng entered the teahouse, instead of going to join in the fun, they found a seat by the window and sat down, ordering two cups of tea.
The tea house is very large, divided into four floors, the center is hollow, you can directly see the fourth floor from the first floor, and naturally you can also see the first floor from the fourth floor, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng are on the east side of the second floor.
Although there were a lot of people in the teahouse, there was no noise. Everyone could either sit in their own seats and drink tea with their eyes closed, like Ye Chen and the two, or make an appointment with a few people and enter the teahouse on each floor. In the secret pavilion, discussing matters appeared to be orderly.
"Two guests, your tea." The footsteps of the servant in the teahouse were very soft, and he said softly after walking in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded and asked the other party to put down the tea.
The freshly brewed tea was slightly hot. Ye Chen picked it up and blew a few times around his mouth. Taking advantage of this gap, he moved his eyes and began to observe the people in the teahouse.
There is nothing to see on the first floor, they are all in the spiritual sea realm, and there is no half-step king. Ye Chen's eyes first fell on the second floor.
On the second floor, there was only one person who caught Ye Chen's attention. It was a woman in yellow clothes sitting on the west side. It was very scattered, and the focus was unclear. What attracted Ye Chen's attention was not the appearance of the other party, but the strange aura hidden deep in the other party's body. This kind of aura, like a tarsal maggot, was extremely feminine.
"I don't know what kind of monster made it?"
Ye Chen thought to himself.
While Ye Chen was sizing up the woman in yellow, the woman in yellow sensed something, turned her head to look at Ye Chen, and showed a gentle but chilling smile.
"not to be trifled."
Ye Chen put a label on the opponent.
Compared with the second floor, there are undoubtedly many more people worthy of attention on the third floor. There are twin brothers sitting next to the railing, one is as majestic as a tower, and the other is as tall as a cow. and right ear; there is a middle-aged scribe holding a sword and resting his eyes with his eyes closed; there is a haggard old woman with a sinister breath; there is a bald fat man with tattoos on his head; there is also a weird old man in a raincoat...
"There are as many as dozens of top half-step kings in this tea house, and seven or eight of them can't be seen through. I'm afraid they are close to the strongest half-step kings."
Murong Qingcheng was also observing the people in the teahouse.
Ye Chen said: "The woman in yellow on the second floor and the old man in the raincoat on the third floor should be the strongest, and the others are not weak either. They are hard-to-find strong men."
Among the people worth noting, the woman in yellow and the old man in a raincoat are the most threatening to Ye Chen. If they are not the strongest half-step kings, they are not far behind. "My eyesight is still a little worse than yours. I don't see anything wrong with these two people. "
Murong Qingcheng took another look at the woman in yellow and the old man in raincoat, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, she didn't have the same terrifying feeling as Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled, "Based on my first feeling, there are some omissions, maybe there are deeper hidden ones."
The teahouse was very quiet. From time to time, a group of people came out of the secret pavilion and left the teahouse. However, the number of people in the teahouse became less and less, and it became more and more silent.
"Look, the woman in yellow was invited away."
Murong Qingcheng said.
Ye Chen looked over, and it was a teahouse servant who invited the woman in yellow. The other party led the woman in yellow to a secret pavilion on the third floor. Immediately, the door of the secret pavilion closed, and the servant came out.
After half a cup of tea, the twin brothers were also invited into the secret pavilion.
Another half cup of tea passed by, and the teahouse servant walked up to Murong Qingcheng, "Miss, the owner of the secret pavilion, I invite you to come and have a talk."
"oh!"
Murong Qingcheng was not surprised, after all, everyone came to the teahouse for the same purpose, to form a team and explore the ruins together.
"I'm with him."
Murong Qingcheng knew that Ye Chen's cultivation would be underestimated by others. In the whole world, like Ye Chen, how many people could treat leapfrog killing as a meal. People who saw him for the first time thought that he could compare with ordinary people. The half-step king contends, whether he can defeat the opponent is another matter.
The servant in the tea house was obviously instructed, "Then let's go together!"
Following the boy, the two of them came to the door of the secret pavilion on the third floor. With a creak, the door of the secret pavilion opened, and Ye Chen walked in alone.
"It seems that there is a soul stone formation embedded in the wall."
Entering the secret pavilion, Ye Chen didn't find any mystery, but the soul power can penetrate out, but outside, the soul power can't perceive the scene inside.
In the secret pavilion, there were nine people sitting. In addition to the woman in yellow and the twin brothers, there were two young people, a middle-aged woman, two middle-aged men, and an old man. The first seat was one of the middle-aged men. The big man has a bronze complexion, his skin has a metallic texture, his eyes are shining, like two shining black gems, more black and less white.
"What's going on, can a person with a peak cultivation in the late stage of Linghai Realm join our team? Isn't it too late?"
The mean-looking middle-aged woman muttered.
"Hey, boy, you went to the wrong door!"
One of the twin brothers grinned grimly.
The two young men had different expressions, one was mocking, the other was expressionless, lowered his eyes, indifferent to anything, while the other yellow-faced man with silver and evil eyes released his soul power without any scruples. Watching Ye Chen sweep away, it seemed that he wanted to make a fool of him.
On the other hand, the big bronze man and the woman in yellow remained calm and watched the changes.
snort!
Ye Chen snorted softly, and counterattacked with his soul power.
The yellow-faced middle-aged man felt his soul tremble, his body was out of control, and he felt numb. What surprised him was that Ye Chen's soul power seemed to be cutting his soul. The taste is not good.
Seeing that the big yellow-faced man was at a disadvantage, the eyes of the others couldn't help but change. This big yellow-faced man is also a half-step king. The force made him suffer. Few of you here can do it. Everyone has a high opinion of Ye Chen, and their attitudes are somewhat restrained, at least on the surface.
"Two, please sit down."
The burly bronze man restrained his discoloration, his palms were raised falsely, and he said indifferently.
Murong Qingcheng nodded, and sat down reservedly.
Ye Chen's eyes swept over Lin Yuxuan who was next to the big bronze man, and sat down calmly, without the slightest restraint.
"You two, I have already discussed with everyone present to explore a certain ruins together, and they all agreed. The reason for inviting you two is because they look different, and your strength is definitely not weak. It is just like the saying that there is one more person. , a little more strength."
The bronze man didn't pay much attention to Ye Chen at the beginning, he just wanted to invite Murong Qingcheng, of course he couldn't say that now, and Ye Chen didn't look as weak as he appeared on the surface. He suffered a moderate loss in the battle of strength, which can explain the problem very well.
Ye Chen said: "Go ahead!"
The big bronze man and everyone present were a little surprised. Among the two, Ye Chen seemed to be the leader. Could it be that Ye Chen really has some ability, or is it just in name.
Clearing his throat, the bronze man said in a deep voice: "If you two agree, I'll continue. If you two don't agree to join us, please leave. Not many people know about the ruins I found. , Don’t leak the news.”
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng looked at each other, Ye Chen pondered: "We agree."
"That's good." The bronze middle-aged man showed a slight smile, and said: "This ruin is very huge. What I found is only a part of it, but this part is already very important. This ruin is the ruins of the Zhenshui Palace. .”
"The ruins of the True Water Palace?"
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were at a loss, they had never heard of it.
Lin Yuxuan interjected: "Zhenshui Palace was once the most powerful fourth-rank sect in this sea area. Its power is not comparable to that of any fourth-rank sect today. The most powerful generation in Zhenshui Palace has appeared in total. After thirteen life and death kings, the palace master was one of the most powerful emperors at that time, Emperor Zhenshui."
"A family of thirteen kings, Emperor Zhenshui."
Ye Chen was secretly taken aback. This Zhenshui Palace, in terms of its strength in its heyday, is indeed terrifying. Now, which sect can have thirteen kings of the life and death realm, let alone a king named Zhenshui, who in ancient times The Emperor Conferring King, but the genuine Emperor Conferring King, can leave marks on the Emperor Mark Stele.
However, no matter how prosperous the sect is, there will always be a moment of fall. The current Zhenshui Palace is just a ruin, which has been silent on the bottom of the sea for countless years.
"There is something I want to tell you all. This ruins is shrouded in prohibition. For some reason, many extremely terrifying lives have been born in it. I invite you to enter together to help each other, so that we can smoothly take away the inside. treasure."
The big bronze man spoke eloquently.
"Okay, when are you leaving?"
There are usually treasures in this kind of ruins, and Ye Chen agreed without hesitation.
"There are many nights and dreams, and I am also afraid that someone will leak the news. The moment we walked out of the secret pavilion, we started to leave. You should have no objections."
The big bronze man looked around and asked.
"We can have any objections, it doesn't matter when we leave."
The twin brothers grinned.
"I do not have either."
The indifferent young man nodded.
Naturally, no one else had any objections. They came to the Baoguang sea area for something, not just to try their luck and get some treasures.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry for now. Let's rest for a while. After drinking tea, we will leave together." The bronze man didn't intend to invite any more people. He nodded in satisfaction, lightly shook the copper bell in the secret pavilion, and ordered Bring tea and pastries.
After drinking tea for a while and eating some pastries, the big bronze man stood up and said, "Let's go!"
