The student was furious, his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Boy, I'll wait for you outside the Sutra Cave!" After saying that, he left without looking back, and the few students who followed him naturally followed him. leave. As he passed by, a student smiled sinisterly and said, "Boy, you will die miserably!"
Ye Ming couldn't help but rolled his eyes and continued to flip through his book. In this hall, there are tens of thousands of books, the lowest of which is the first-grade martial arts. There are also many king-grade martial arts and imperial-grade martial arts. Ye Ming remembers them one by one.
It wasn't until noon the next day that he finished reading all the martial arts. But he had no intention of leaving, and continued to go to other halls to check out the exercises. There was no time limit anyway, he could stay as long as he wanted. This was terrible for the students who were waiting for him to come out and prepare to teach him a lesson. Wait from noon until night, and then wait from night until dawn.
"Damn it! Did that kid die inside?" The man called the boss jumped in anger.
"Boss, how about we weigh him back? When we get a chance, we can teach that kid a lesson?" a follower asked cautiously.
"Keep waiting! I don't believe he won't come out!" This man was obviously stubborn. He gritted his teeth and waited for Ye Ming outside the cave, not preparing to leave until he saw someone.
For the first ten days, Ye Ming spent all his time reading martial arts skills, and then he started to look through his Shanbu stuff, especially the relevant classics about Buddhism and Taoism civilization. He read and recited them one by one. "Other mountains" means that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. They are all classics about prehistoric civilizations, such as Buddhist and Taoist civilizations, immortal civilizations, etc.
While Ye Ming was looking through Buddhist and Taoist classics, the students who were waiting for him left angrily. After all, they couldn't wait forever, and no matter how patient they were, they were all worn out now. However, after waiting for ten days, these people did not give up and decided to trouble Ye Ming again if they had the opportunity.
He didn't know about these little episodes. At this moment, he was completely immersed in martial arts knowledge and couldn't extricate himself.
It was not until three months later that the pale Ye Ming left the scripture cave. If you don't eat, drink or see the sun for several months, your face will inevitably not look good. So after coming out, the first thing he did was take a shower, and then fell asleep. Even Zhang Heng, Yan Ruyu and others were in seclusion.
Three days later, Ye Ming woke up. Before going to bed, he asked Ji Ruxue to cook a delicious meal, so he smelled the tempting aroma of rice as soon as he opened his eyes.
Not only Zhang Heng and the others were here, but Zhou Hao and Xiang Xiang were also here. The young man and woman were obviously living a happy life, with smiles written all over their faces.
While eating, Ji Ruxue handed a letter into Ye Ming's hand and said, "The letter came yesterday. The young master was resting, so he didn't disturb me."
"Letter?" Ye Ming was a little surprised, took the letter, opened it, and quickly scanned the contents. Suddenly, his face turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Luo Bingxian asked. She knew that the letter came from the Yin Yang Sect.
"Tongli Bank has made very high profits in the past two years." Ye Ming said.
"This is a good thing." Luo Bingxian said strangely, "Why are you unhappy?"
"It is precisely because of the high profits that someone in the Yin Yang Sect wants to take back 30% of my shares!" Ye Ming sneered, "It seems that they really regard me as a clay figure and think they can do whatever they want."
Luo Bingxian was taken aback, shook his head and said: "I had similar worries before, but I didn't expect it to happen. On the surface, the Yin-Yang Sect is harmonious, but in fact, there are also entangled interests among the six cardinals and elders, and it is impossible to be consistent. .”
Ye Ming sighed: "When I founded Tongli Bank, I wanted to use the power of Yin Yang Sect. I didn't expect that these people would not be able to sit still as soon as the bank started making money."
"What are you going to do?" Luo Bingxian asked.
"I have to go back." Ye Ming said, "I built Tongli Bank with great difficulty, and I can't give it away."
"Then you must be careful. If those people dare to take back your rights openly, it means they are ready. Once they find that you are unwilling to give in, they will use various means to deal with you." Luo Bingxian was very worried, "And I It is speculated that Elder Yi is probably not in the sect at the moment, or is in retreat, otherwise these people would not be so arrogant."
"Without Master, I'm not afraid of them." Ye Ming sneered, "The worst is to break up!"
Ye Ming was preparing to return to the Yin Yang Sect. Luo Bingxian and Yan Ruyu wanted to follow, but he refused. He didn't even take Zhang Heng with him, but went alone.
The letter was written by Yu Xianxian, and it was in the official tone of the Yin Yang Sect. From this, Ye Ming inferred that Yu Xianxian and others may have been controlled. The Yin Yang Sect asked her to send this letter, and most likely she wanted him to go there. , and then take further action.
However, he was not afraid. After being promoted to Wuzong, he had the confidence to escape unscathed. What's more, he has a lot of trump cards in his hands. If he is pushed hard, he will let his opponents have a taste of his power.
Ye Ming did not return directly to the Yin Yang Sect, but went to Baoguang City first. At present, Tongli Bank is opened in four cities, namely Yin Yang City, Evernight City, Qicheng and Baoguang City. The letter vaguely revealed that most of his people are currently staying in Baoguang City. After all, Ye Ming is the city lord of Baoguang City, and his foundation is deeper. He wanted to come to Baoguang City first to inquire about the situation, and then decide what to do next.
Baoguang City is still so prosperous. This city is close to Donghai Kingdom and originally belonged to Jianchi. At the sword fighting meeting, Ye Ming defeated Zuo Douhuang and won Baoguang City. He later learned that there was a demon cave in Baoguang City that had to be suppressed by a magic circle, and the consumption every year was staggering. However, he once went to the Demon Cave and learned that the Demon Cave was actually a large world passage through which he could enter the continent of gods and demons.
The Gods and Demons Continent was relatively stable, and if the gods inside really figured it out, the mere formations wouldn't be able to trap them at all, so after that, he simply stopped reinforcing the demon-suppressing formations, thus saving a lot of money.
Baoguang City is still so prosperous. When Ye Ming appeared in the city lord's mansion, the guards outside the mansion didn't recognize him. They pulled out their swords and asked, "Who is he?"
Ye Ming snorted coldly: "I am City Lord Ye Ming!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, then he quickly fell to the ground and said, "See the City Lord!"
Ye Ming asked: "Who is in the house now?"
The guard said: "Back to the city lord, he is currently a foreign affairs elder of the Yin Yang Sect and is handling government affairs in the city."
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes. When he left Baoguang City, he clearly arranged for someone to handle government affairs. How could a foreign affairs elder appear? Could it be that the Yin Yang Sect not only wanted to seize his shares in Tongli Bank, but also wanted to take back Baoguang City
Baoguang City's annual tax revenue is tens of billions, which is indeed a big piece of fat. Thinking of this, his eyes became colder and he strode in.
He had lived here before, so he knew the layout inside, so he went directly to the hall. After passing through the front yard and just past the gate, a Wu Zong Hengli jumped out to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
Ye Ming was in a bad mood and asked with raised eyebrows: "Who are you?"
"Bold! You dare to act wild in the city lord's palace!" The man didn't ask any more questions and punched him with all his strength, obviously intending to kill Ye Ming.
Ye Ming smiled, and before the opponent's punch could reach him, he grabbed it out. Although the two of them are both martial sects, his strength is far superior to that of the other, and he can easily catch the other with a casual grab. The man felt a pain in his wrist and his whole body was lifted up. He could not use any strength in mid-air and could only scream strangely.
"Trash! Are you worthy of guarding the door?" Ye Ming threw the Wuzong aside like a lost dog. After landing, Wu Zong still hadn't recovered. He just groaned while lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Who is making the noise?" a voice came from the hall in front.
Ye Ming shouted: "Who is the elder inside? I am Ye Ming, come out and see me!"
As a cardinal disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, he has a high status. Even the elders would call him master, so he naturally does not have to bow his head in front of anyone.
The figure shook, and a middle-aged man in yellow robe walked out quickly and saluted Ye Ming from a distance: "Foreign Affairs Elder Yu Kongshan pays homage to the city lord." He obviously knew Ye Ming's identity and was extremely polite and respectful.
Ye Ming became less angry and asked, "Where did Elder Yi Xiantian go?"
Nayu Kongshan said hurriedly: "Elder Yi went into seclusion last year. It is said that it may take a long time to break through to a higher level."
Ye Ming: "When I left, I arranged for people to manage Baoguang City, why are you managing it?"
Yu Kongshan said: "These are all orders from above. I just follow the orders and never dare to offend the city lord."
Ye Ming sneered: "Who gave the order?"
"It's Elder Dharma." Yu Kongshan said.
Ye Ming frowned. Among the six cardinal elders, one was named Fa Hui'an.
"I haven't been here for the past two years. Are the taxes paid below still in the treasury?" he asked after a moment of silence.
Yu Kongshan said: "Back to the city lord, all the taxes were taken away by someone sent by the Dharma Elder, and they come once a month. Although I managed Baoguang City this year, I didn't get any benefits."
Ye Ming took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked: "Are you also responsible for the affairs of Tongli Bank?"
Yu Kongshan said: "Tongli Bank has moved to another place, and another elder is in charge."
Ye Ming asked for the address and immediately went to Tongli Bank.
The new location of Tongli Bank is located in the center of the main street. It can be said to be the most prosperous area in Baoguang City, and the facade is large, majestic and resplendent. As soon as Ye Ming arrived in front of the store, a boy came up to him and asked politely: "Sir, do you want to save money or borrow money?"
Ye Ming said lightly: "I'm looking for Yu Xianxian."
The boy smiled and said: "Is this guest introduced by Miss Yu? Come in quickly!"
He invited Ye Ming in. As soon as he entered the door, Ye Ming saw a row of cubicles in the lobby, and there were customers in each cubicle. Yu Xianxian was standing in the middle of the lobby at this time, looking preoccupied, and didn't even notice Ye Ming's arrival.
"Xianxian." He called.
Yu Xianxian was shocked and turned her head suddenly. When their eyes met, Ye Ming could read a lot of things in her eyes, including anger, apology, grievance and helplessness.
Before Ye Ming went over to speak, a voice sounded: "Are you Ye Ming?"
A young man walked out of the small door on one side. The other party was a martial lord with majestic momentum and cold and ruthless eyes. He stared at Ye Mingwen.
Ye Ming ignored him and asked Yu Xianxian: "Where are Cui Jingang and Zheng Yiping?"
Yu Xianxian glanced at the young man and finally replied: "They are all imprisoned in the Yin Yang Sect's water prison."
"Are you ignoring me?" Seeing that Ye Ming was ignoring him, the young man showed a sneer, with murderous intent on his face, and strode towards Ye Ming.
