The capital of Tiger City, Murong Mansion.
Murong Wentian was in the hall, looking at his guards in front of him with a puzzled expression.
He looked at the four guards in surprise and said, "It's been two or three days, and you still haven't found any clues?"
"Master, we have searched almost all of Yecheng, but we still can't find those men in black!"
"Master, there is still a place we haven't been to. Will Luo Ying be caught by them?"
Hearing the guard mention that there was a place he hadn't visited, Murong Wentian asked nervously, "Where is it?"
The guard was a little nervous and said, "My lord, it is the palace of the Tiger Kingdom."
"The palace of the Tiger Kingdom!" Murong Wentian repeated, and thought about the current situation in Yecheng. He knew in his heart that the only kingdom in Yecheng that could compete with his Murong family was the Tiger Kingdom.
But how did the Tiger Kingdom know that Jiang Xiao ambushed Luo Ying in the southern suburbs of the city
Just when Murong Wentian was deeply surprised and puzzled, someone outside came with words of surprise and excitement.
"Master, Master, Senior Brother Jiang is back, Senior Brother Jiang is back!"
"What? Jiang Xiao is back!" Murong Wentian exclaimed in surprise and said, "Quick, let him in!"
Upon hearing the news that Jiang Xiao had returned, Murong Wentian's face was filled with shock and excitement, because as long as Jiang Xiao came back, all the doubts that had been accumulating in his heart about Luo Ying would be completely cleared up.
The four guards standing in the hall were also filled with joy when they heard the news that Jiang Xiao had returned.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Xiao was supported by a guard and walked into the hall.
Jiang Xiao looked disheveled and covered in dust. His clothes were not only dirty but also had holes all over them. He was limping.
"Jiang Xiao greets the Master! I am incompetent and failed to complete the Master's task. I am willing to accept the punishment!" Jiang Xiao said.
Seeing Jiang Xiao's appearance at this moment, Murong Wentian's face was filled with sadness. He said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! Jiang Xiao, what on earth happened in all these days!"
Jiang Xiao drank a glass of water and told Murong Wentian everything that happened in the southern suburbs outside the city.
"What! It's really them, Jiang Xiao, you see it clearly!" Murong Wentian said.
Jiang Xiao nodded quickly and said, "Master, you must avenge our brothers!"
After Murong Wentian learned the identity of the group of black-clad men who had killed the Murong Mansion guards and snatched Luo Ying away in the southern suburbs outside the city, he asked Jiang Xiao and the others to withdraw. He wandered in the hall for a while, saying silently in his heart: "Treasure map, treasure map, what should I do now?"
In the main hall of the Tiger Kingdom, True Man Lan Huo was sitting on the top of the hall, and Lan Qing was standing in front of him.
Near the entrance of the palace, two people were tied up. One old and one young, they were none other than Ye Long and Ye Tian from the Ye family.
At this moment, Luo Ying, who was imprisoned in the prison, was also brought to the hall.
When Luo Ying entered the hall and saw Ye Long and Ye Tian at a glance, Luo Ying shook his body hard and shook off the blue-armored guards following him.
She ran to Ye Long and Ye Tian, and when she saw how haggard they looked, tears welled up in her eyes.
Because Ye Long had lost his martial arts and the protection of his true qi, and was tortured like a slave in the mine, his hair turned completely white, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more numerous and deeper. Ye Tian also became skinny and his eyes had lost the heroic spirit they once had.
Luo Ying did not call them because her heart was bleeding at this moment, and the blood seemed to block her throat, making her unable to speak.
Suddenly, Luo Ying turned around and strode to the front of Lan Huo Zhenren, saying: "Lan Huo villain, you have already destroyed their martial arts, why don't you let them go!"
Seeing Luo Ying's face full of worry and anger, Lan Huo Zhenren smiled with a dagger hidden in his smile and said, "Miss Luo, what you said makes sense. I brought them here today to let them go! But..."
"Just what!" Luo Ying asked.
True Man Lan Huo was about to speak but stopped. At this time, he laughed a few times and said, "Miss Luo, it is not difficult for me to let them go. As long as you are willing to hand over the treasure map and the white jade key, I will let them go immediately!"
When Luo Ying heard Master Lan Huo talk about the treasure map and the white jade key, he realized the real reason why they brought Ye Long and Ye Tian to him. Master Lan Huo wanted to use them as bargaining chips to force him to hand over the treasure map and the white jade key.
Seeing Luo Ying lost in thought, Master Lan Huo said, "Why, Miss Luo doesn't want to? If she doesn't want to, I won't force her. Someone take them to the mine and let them enter the mine starting tomorrow!"
"Wait!" Luo Ying said, and then continued: "Blue Fire Villain, OK! I will give you the treasure map and the white jade key!"
Hearing that Luo Ying was willing to hand over the treasure map and the white jade key, Lan Huo Zhenren called back the blue-armored guards who were about to take Ye Long and Ye Tian away, and said to Luo Ying: "Miss Luo, where are the treasure map and the white jade key? You can hand them over now!"
Luo Ying glanced at Ye Long and Ye Tian and said, "Before I give you the treasure map and the white jade key, you must release them first! Otherwise, I won't hand you over!"
"How dare you! You have no right to bargain here!" Lan Qing said angrily.
Lan Huo Zhenren scolded Lan Qing and said, "Okay! I agree to your request, but you must give me one of the treasure map and the white jade key first, and I will release them immediately!"
Luo Ying pondered for a moment, agreed to Master Lanhuo, and told him that the treasure map was hidden under the sycamore tree in the backyard of the Luo family.
After he finished speaking, Master Lanhuo sent someone to the backyard.
A moment later, the blue-clad guard sent to the backyard handed half of the treasure map to Master Lanhuo.
"Blue Fire Villain, can you let them go now?" Luo Ying said.
Master Lan Huo looked at the treasure map with a look of joy on his face, and said, "Release them, release them, release Ye Long and his son!"
Luo Ying walked up to Ye Long and Ye Tian and said, "Uncle Ye, Third Young Master, it was Luo Ying who harmed you. You should leave quickly and stay away from Yecheng!"
Ye Long looked at Luo Ying's haggard and pale face and said, "Luo Ying! We can't leave. What will happen to you if we leave? And what about all the people in Yecheng who are in the mine?"
"Uncle Ye, don't worry about Luo Ying. I'll be fine. Uncle Ye, you must leave Yecheng and find Brother Ye. The Luo family's treasure is related to the entire cultivation world. It's in...!"
When Luo Ying talked about the specific location of the treasure, he told Ye Long in a soft voice, and told Ye Long that once the Luo family treasure was opened, not only Yecheng, but the entire Xuanwu Continent's cultivation world would be in a bloody storm.
After saying that, two blue-clad guards walked up to Ye Long and Ye Tian, took them out of the palace and released them.
After seeing Ye Long and Ye Tian being released, Master Lan Huo looked at Luo Ying and said, "Miss Luo, I have fulfilled my promise. Now you can hand over the white jade key!"
Luo Ying knew that opening the treasure would bring bloodshed, so how could she easily hand over the white jade key
She deliberately pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't eaten for several days. I'm so hungry that I can't remember anything!"
"You are such a jerk, Luo Ying, who do you think you are? You are a prisoner now. How dare you play tricks on our king? I will make sure you pay for it!" Lan Qing shouted angrily.
"That's great! Kill me and see what use the treasure map is to you!" Luo Ying said.
True Man Lan Huo was still smiling, and said, "Come here, prepare some good food for Miss Luo!"
After saying that, when Luo Ying took a few steps, Master Lan Huo said again: "Miss Luo, there is one more thing I forgot to remind you, that is, Ye Long and Ye Tian. Although I can let them go, it is easy to catch them back or send people to kill them. So, Miss Luo, it is better not to play tricks, otherwise it will be too late to regret!"
When Luo Ying heard what Master Lan Huo said, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said in his heart: "Despicable!"
Ye Long and Ye Tian, who were released by Master Lan Huo, were left homeless and wandering the streets like two beggars.
They hadn't eaten for several days and found it difficult to walk as they walked on the streets of Yecheng.
Among the crowd not far from them, there was a female beggar who was dressed in rags and had a dirty face. When she suddenly saw them, the female beggar's eyes widened in surprise and she was about to run over to meet them. This female beggar was none other than Ye Feng's personal maid Xiaoyu.
However, when Xiaoyu just ran a few steps towards them, she suddenly saw several people stopping Ye Long and Ye Tian.
When Ye Long and Ye Tian passed by a bun shop, Ye Long couldn't help but take a look, and Ye Tian also took a look and swallowed his saliva.
At this moment, three people suddenly blocked Ye Long and Ye Tian's way.
"Hey! Isn't this the head of the Ye Long family? Hey, the third young master is here too!"
When Ye Long heard the voices, he looked up and recognized the people standing in front of him. They were none other than Murong Wentian and three guards from the Murong Mansion.
When Ye Tian saw that it was Murong Wentian, he rushed towards him and shouted angrily: "Murong Wentian, you bastard, I will kill you to avenge our Ye family!"
Bang bang bang!
The Murong guard behind Murong Wentian ran to Ye Tian and slapped him three times.
Looking at Ye Tian who was beaten, Murong Wentian said: "Revenge, it's up to you, in the next life!"
Ye Tian was still struggling, shouting angrily: "Murong Wentian, Murong Wentian, I will kill you, kill you..."
“Hahahaha!” Murong Wentian laughed wildly and said, “Someone, tie them all up and take them back!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Long and Ye Tian had just left the Tiger Kingdom Hall, and were now captured by Murong Wentian and taken to Murong Mansion.
When he was caught, Ye Long saw Xiaoyu in the crowd, so he winked at Xiaoyu and secretly wrote three words on the ground.
He was then taken away by Murong Wentian.
After they left, Xiaoyu hurried over and saw the three words written by Ye Long: "Looking for Master!"
Looking at the three words "Looking for Young Master" left by Ye Long on the ground, Xiaoyu was anxious and helpless, and murmured silently in her heart: "Young Master, where are you!"
