Chapter 45 Spitting Silver
"Lock up these men in black and suppress them, and be on guard all around!" Yang He gave the order, then took out a command arrow and said, "It seems that we have to ask an old priest to calm the situation."

"Do we need to ask one of the five elders?" Ling Yuanbao looked a little surprised. "Is this necessary?"

"Who knows if the murderer who used the divine fire just now will come back." Yang He shook his head with a serious expression.

Now that the people from the Ministry of Justice had taken over, Wen Yifan and Monk Yunhai did not say any more. Instead, they focused their attention on their surroundings and were carefully on guard with their spiritual sense.

Liang Yue was more concerned about the corpse and observed it for a long time.

After being calcined for just a few breaths, this charred bone turned into an extremely smooth skeleton with a faint purple glow.

It looks very eerie and scary.

call out--

Yang He shot the command arrow into the air, and with a piercing sound, a very eye-catching red light exploded.

Seeing that Ling Yuanbao seemed a little surprised, Liang Yue asked curiously: "Who are the five elders you are talking about?"

"They are the five old ministers of the Ministry of Justice, three of whom are at the Grandmaster level." Ling Yuanbao explained, "The Ministry of Justice often fights with extremely vicious outlaws. Without a Grandmaster, it would not be able to deter the world. The five elders have a high status in the yamen, not much different from the two assistant ministers, and only below the Shangshu. In actual handling of cases, there are very few times when they need to be called in. I didn't expect that Chief Yang is so cautious."

Hearing her say this, Yang He turned his head and said, "Each person in charge of this command arrow has one in his hand. If the situation is not serious, why would I move it lightly? But the cultivation level of the person who attracted the divine fire..."

"Is there a Grandmaster level?" Ling Yuanbao asked.

"It's hard to say." Yang He said in a deep voice: "But it's very likely."

"Ah?" Ling Yuanbao asked in surprise, "But if there is a Grandmaster here, even if we add up, we are no match for him. Why is he hiding?"

Liang Yue answered from the side: "Maybe he has achieved his goal and doesn't want to expose his tracks."

He didn't say anything extra.

The mysterious man who took action obviously arrived later. When he came, the demon master had already been subdued and his place was already exposed. There was nothing he could do except to silence him.

This person came so quickly, maybe he received a message from the demon master, or maybe... he received information from the Ministry of Justice.

It is naturally not appropriate to make such speculation in front of the Ministry of Justice.

"That's right." Yang He nodded and said, "This person's purpose is very clear, which is to kill people to silence them. If I'm not mistaken, except for this dead man, the rest of the people here don't know the identity of the mastermind behind this. Killing this one person is enough."

As he said this, he turned back to look at the two people from the Demon Slaying Division, "There is nothing else we can do. Even if you are a Grandmaster, do you dare to kill a disciple of the Xuan Sect?"

Ling Yuanbao showed an expression of realization.

Liang Yue gained some new insights. It seems that the background of Miss Wen and her friends is more reliable than he thought.

Even the masters at the Grandmaster level would think twice before taking action when they saw the disciples of Xuanmen.

After all, the foundation of Xuanmen lies here. Beating the younger one will lead to the older one, and beating the older one will lead to the immortals.

"Wow—"

Not long after the command arrow was sent out, a sharp bird cry was heard in mid-air, and a large falcon with an iron-gray body and feathers as sharp as arrows glided over. It landed on the ground and turned into an old man in gray clothes and shorts.

The old man's eyebrows and beard were half gray and half white, but his eyes were still frighteningly bright. His body looked thin and shriveled, but he seemed to contain the power of a volcano.

"Hehe, I just saw you guys go out, and then you called me here. I thought there was going to be a tough battle." The old man laughed twice, "What's going on?"

"Old Eagle." Yang He stepped forward and saluted, then pointed to the corpse not far away, "Please look, if there is no Grandmaster here, I dare not easily move any place here."

The old man known as "Old Eagle" had eyes that seemed to be filled with lightning. He turned them slightly and immediately locked onto the corpse. Then he took a breath and said, "Hiss."

After a pause, he said, "You are right to be cautious. This is definitely not an ordinary divine fire. I have seen the leader of the Fire Orthodoxy take action in the past. The divine fire he released never hurt anyone who came into contact with it. The corpses that were burned were all like this."

"I saw a similar scene when I was in the army sixteen years ago, so I didn't dare to act rashly." Yang He said.

"After all, what on earth is this fire?" Ling Yuanbao was impatient and couldn't stand being kept in suspense, so he asked directly.

Old Eagle said slowly: "Zhu Rong Fire."

……

"Sixth on the list of immortal objects, Zhu Rongzi."

It can give birth to divine fire, burn the sky and destroy the earth, and is unstoppable. It is called Zhurong Fire.

When people heard what Old Eagle said, there was an uproar around them, and Wen Yifan and Shang Yunhai also gathered around.

Shang Yunhai asked curiously, "The Fire Orthodox Church still exists in the world?"

"Back then, the Fire Orthodox Church was the state religion of Nanxiang, but it was completely wiped out when Nanxiang was destroyed. However, the whereabouts of the sacred object of the church, Zhu Rongzi, have never been found. At that time, the army speculated that there were still remnants of the Fire Orthodox Church." Old Eagle told everyone, "Looking at the situation today, it is hard to say whether there are remnants of the Fire Orthodox Church, but Zhu Rongzi has definitely reappeared in the world."

Liang Yue didn't know much about the Fire Orthodoxy, but he had just heard a while ago that the Enlightenment Tree, ranked second on the Immortal Object List, was burned by Zhu Rongzi's divine fire, causing the tree trunk to be damaged and the tree soul to disappear.

It can be seen that although this thing is not ranked as high as the Enlightenment Tree, its killing power is extremely terrifying.

I never thought that today I would actually see this thing killing people in front of me to silence them.

The owner behind this underground bank...

Who is he?

Old Eagle said, "But there is no need to panic. I can confirm that there are no Grandmasters around now. You can search this place without any worries."

"Yes!"

After getting his guarantee, Yang He dared to bring his brothers from the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough search of the cloth shop.

The old eagle glanced at Shang Yunhai and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are from a wild beast, right?" Shang Yunhai immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I am from the Xuanmen Hualong lineage, and my master is Baili Qiongqi."

"Ah, Baili's disciple." Old Eagle responded with understanding, "I was born in the Flying Eagle Sect of Xizhou. If you trace back two generations, I am also from the Wild Beast Sect. According to seniority, you should call me Senior Brother."

Shang Yunhai chuckled twice, looked at the other person's gray hair and beard, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Half of the cultivators in the world come from the Taoist sect.

Nowadays, most of the Qi-refining sects in the land of Jiuzhou are branched out from the Eight Veins of Xuanmen. If you check, they are all side branches of Xuanmen.

These people often like to get closer to the Taoist sect to prove their own legitimate origins.

These Xuanmen disciples always encounter these things when they travel outside, so they are used to it.

Old Eagle pointed at the silver-guarding monster over there and said, "Do you have a way to make that thing spit out the silver?"

He was well-informed and naturally recognized the silver guard. "The gate of Longyuan City cannot pass the monster beast. It would be best to take out the hidden silver, pack it in boxes, and then transport it back to the Ministry of Justice."

"I'll try." Shang Yunhai nodded slightly.

Over there, the silver-guarding monster was lying obediently in its own small building. Even though the surrounding walls were dilapidated and the iron chains were broken, it did not run away.

Because it had just witnessed a great battle and its master had suddenly died in front of it, it was now extremely scared.

This guy's huge head was lying on the ground with two thick fleshy paws covering his head. Occasionally, he would look at the outside situation through the gaps between his fleshy fingers with his big round eyes.

Once he noticed someone was looking at him, he would immediately lower his head and pretend to be dead.

I just hope no one pays attention to me.

Unfortunately, this is impossible after all.

Shang Yunhai walked over, gently placed his hand on its head, and then used his own secret method to convey information to it.

The Xuanmen Hualong lineage practices the secret method of transforming one's body into other objects, comprehending all the beasts in the heavens and using this to sense the great Dao. Communicating with monsters is one of the secret methods they have been practicing since childhood.

"Woo..."

But as he communicated, the silver-guarding beast buried its head deeper, as if it was very unwilling to accept it.

Shang Yunhai turned around and said, "It seems that it is unwilling to spit out the hidden silver."

Old Eagle frowned: "The owner of this beast is dead, and he still refuses to pay?"

"It relies on the wealth of the hidden silver to practice. Once it spits it out, it may damage its practice." Shang Yunhai explained.

Old Eagle muttered, "That's really hard to do. This thing is very rare now. It would be a pity to kill it for the silver. But if it refuses to spit out the silver, we will have a hard time reporting back."

Liang Yue suggested in a low voice: "Brother Shang, this beast looks very timid. You can be a little more aggressive and try to scare it."

"Vicious?" There was a hint of reluctance between Shang Yunhai's brows, and he seemed a little confused.

Seeing that he was clearly a modest gentleman who had no idea how to be fierce, Liang Yue said, "Try changing back to the state you were in during the battle."

"Hmm..." Shang Yunhai nodded.

Then he activated his magical power, and his whole body suddenly shook. In an instant, he turned into a beast-like body, his body swelled and his flames burned fiercely.

“Roar—” Once he transformed into a beast, he instantly became wild, slapping his chest viciously with his claws, and growled, “Don’t blame me if you don’t spit out all the silver!”

The silver-guarding monster was originally trembling in fear, and when it saw him become so ferocious again, it was so frightened that it stood up and trembled against the attic wall, kowtowed with its pair of flesh claws to beg for mercy.

It's really pitiful to look at.

"Ao!" Shang Yunhai roared again.

The silver-guarding monster, whose already timid courage had been extinguished, dared not delay any longer. Its belly immediately bulged and a strange gurgling sound came from its throat, and silver ingots gushed out like fountains!
slam-la-

It was as if silver ingots were raining from the sky, and they were spit out continuously from the mouth of the silver-guarding monster to the side. Everyone around was stunned!

Liang Yue had seen the world before in Zhen Changzhi's house, and had seen the silver wall. But compared with the silver here, that wall was nothing.

This is a mountain of silver!
The silver-guarding monster didn't stop talking until the hill was almost as high as itself.

Its body seemed to have shrunk a lot, and it hummed weakly twice, leaning against the corner, looking up at the sky in a collapsed posture, as if it had just experienced some unbearable torture.

"Wow." Even Old Lian Ying couldn't help but marvel when he saw this silver mountain.

But as the silver-guarding monster sprayed more and more, his expression became more and more wrong. Only after the hill was built did he walk forward and pick up a silver ingot to check it out.

His face immediately turned gloomy, and he looked as if a disaster was about to happen.

Liang Yue saw that he had a strange expression on his face, so he stole a glance at him.

The silver ingots here are divided into two parts.

A small part of them looked newer, and the words printed on the bottom were a bit messy, such as "Mubei", "Dayinku Silver", "Dingsheng Money House", etc. These were the silver ingots that were widely circulated in the market, and the words printed on the bottom had different meanings, but they were nothing special.

The other large part looks very old, and there are two identical words printed underneath.

"Private treasury".

　Good morning.
