“Ye Li, this hill in the middle is the place you personally chose, and now it has become the place where all important personnel live and command.
Several hills nearby were turned into foundries, responsible for casting different things.
The other hills around here have not been developed yet, and we don’t have enough manpower for now. We can only determine the use of these hills after we gather more manpower.”
Niu Qianjin saw Ye Li discussing the doorway under the hill in front, so he started talking.
Ye Li nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's great. I haven't been away from here for long, but I didn't expect the construction speed here to be so fast."
Niu Qianjin laughed and said, "Of course, Master and Senior Lang Taotian are very concerned about the base you proposed, so they really mobilized all their forces to carry out the construction work. It didn't take long to build this place into its current appearance. It was indeed very fast.
By the way, Master received a message from Uncle Xue saying that you are now a wanted person in Imperial City. What’s going on
Emperor City said that you betrayed your master, killed your fellow disciples, and stole treasures, and the evidence is irrefutable. If it weren't for Uncle Xue and Senior Qi Wei trying their best to get you a chance to explain, you would have been expelled from the sect by Emperor City and become a target of death."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard Niu Qianjin's words, then he sighed and said, "This is a long story. Is Master on the island? If he is, I will tell you the whole story.
This matter is of great importance and is related to the Great Soul Heaven Organization. It is because of this that I was assassinated and fell into this situation. "
Niu Qianjin knew that the matter was definitely not simple after hearing this, and he did not delay any longer, saying: "Come with me, Master and the eldest and third brothers are all on the island right now, and we are discussing the casting matter.
When your boat was approaching Pushan Island, someone came to report that a ship was approaching. That was why I came to check it out. I didn't expect that the person who came was you, Junior Brother."
While the two were talking, Niu Qianjin took Ye Li into the largest hill in the center of Pushan Island, and suddenly a mountain world appeared in front of them at night.
Ye Li originally thought that this world in the mountains must be very dark and depressing. However, it was not until he entered here that he discovered that this world in the mountains was not dark and depressing at all.
The entire mountain was not completely hollowed out. After some design, Ou Qianxie and his team built the interior of the mountain as if it were a large palace.
Some of the more hidden places on the outer mountain walls were directly hollowed out and inlaid with crystal bricks.
And under the crystal bricks, where the light directly hits, there are some silver mirrors to redirect the light to other areas.
As a result, the entire mountain would appear too dark during the day and could be seen clearly even without lighting a lamp.
The rooms in the mountain are all located near the four walls. In the center is a spiral staircase that leads to every floor. In this way, the space inside the entire mountain is fully utilized.
In general, the world inside the mountain was built beyond Ye Li's expectations. After all, it was designed by Ou Qianxie himself. With his vision as a master of casting, even if it was not casting tools but casting palaces and attics, it would not be much different.
Soon, Niu Qianjin brought Ye Li to a large house on the top floor. Ye Li followed him into the house, only to see Ou Qianxie, Pei Ku and Yan Fangtong sitting together and discussing something.
The three of them heard the sound of the door and looked over, and immediately saw Ye Li following Niu Qianjin.
The three of them were shocked, and suddenly their expressions turned into joy.
"Ye Li, you're back!!!
Those guys in the Imperial City said they chased you deep into Qilin Ridge. I was worried whether you were injured by the monsters. I’m so glad that you are okay!!!"
Ou Qianxie said this while stroking his beard, the expression on his face was full of satisfaction, as if he was watching his own children and grandchildren return home.
Pei Ku and Yan Fangtong also had smiles on their faces, and their eyes revealed very sincere emotions.
"Fourth Junior Brother is back. We were all worried about you. Now we are glad to see that you are okay!"
Pei said with a wry smile.
"I'm back. I'm fine...very fine!"
Yan Fangtong was still not good at speaking, but the smile on his face was brighter than anyone else's.
Feeling the sincere emotions emanating from his masters, Ye Li couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Master, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back!"
Ye Li spoke to the four people very formally, with a look of joy on his face, like a traveler returning home from a long journey.
Yan Fangtong stood up, pulled Ye Li over and sat him down at the table. It was a rare occasion for the five masters and apprentices to get together.
"Ye Li, have you been back to the Imperial City? They said they would give you a chance to explain. Brother Xue and Brother Qi both believe that you would never betray the Imperial City."
After greeting each other under the table, Ou Qianxie asked seriously that he didn't know the ins and outs of his disciple's affairs, but no matter whether Ye Li betrayed the Imperial City or not, he believed that no matter what choice Ye Li made, he must have his own reasons.
Hearing Ou Qianxie's words, Ye Li shook his head and said, "Master, I don't plan to return to the Imperial City for the time being. Even if I can explain, it may not work.
There are people from the Dahuntian organization in the upper echelons of the Imperial City. I don’t know who they are, but I know that they have already seized considerable power.
I did not betray the Imperial City. The current situation is caused by someone behind the scenes who framed me and wanted to silence me."
His words startled the people present.
"What on earth is going on? Can you tell me about it?"
Ou Qianxie said with a frown.
After Ye Li nodded, he told his master and disciples about his trip to the Snowy Forbidden Land.
Ye Li did not hide anything about what he found in the Snowy Forbidden Land and told Ou Qianxie and the others one by one.
Ou Qianxie and the others were the people Ye Li trusted the most, and Ye Li was unwilling to hide anything from them.
After recounting what happened in the Snowy Forbidden Land, Ye Li also told about the subsequent chase. Now there are only two left among the five survivors, himself and Dongfang Caiyi.
Dongfang Caiyi thought that as long as she was in the Imperial City, she would be able to testify for Ye Li, and Ye Li also believed that he could clear himself of suspicion.
But what Ye Li is hesitating about now is that the Imperial City has been invaded by the enemy from the inside, and whether it is still suitable for him to go back and develop.
He also has too many secrets, and the history of hostility between him and the Dahuntian organization is very long. It would be dangerous if the other party were to discover his situation.
