Chapter 37 The show begins

"Young Taoist priest, are you and the fat Taoist priest together?" Ji Ziyue glanced at Ye Fan again.

"He and I are not together. He wants to gamble with me and also says he has news about the Nine Secrets." Ye Fan directly stated the whole story. He now plans to muddy the waters so that he can take the opportunity to slip away.

"So, Master Duan knows a very important clue?" Yao Xi asked with a smile.

At the same time, Zixia's voice rang in Ye Fan's mind: "You are so heartless! I just helped you rescue Pangbo! You ran away without even giving me a hair, and you refused to recognize me when we met. Are you trying to shirk your responsibility? Believe it or not, I will reveal your identity right away!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly replied with his spiritual sense: "I owe you a little blood essence, I will pay it back later. Fairy Zixia, please be kind and don't reveal my identity. There are really unspeakable difficulties in this!"

"Could it be that Yueliang from the Ji family and Saint Yaoguang are both your lovers?" Zixia continued to tease Ye Fan.

"How could I be so blessed? Both Yaoguang Holy Land and Ji family want to get rid of me as soon as possible. Besides, you are the only one in my heart." Ye Fan tested cautiously.

"Hmph! Give me another drop of essence and blood! And then help me get the Nine Secrets!" Zixia stopped transmitting the message through her telepathy after she said that.

"Could it be that the tomb robber is Taoist Duan?" Ji Ziyue teased with a smile.

Duan De said confidently: "I know a little bit, but I know a thing or two, so I'm betting with Taoist Zhengde."

Ji Ziyue said to Ye Fan who was a little distracted: "Little Taoist priest, don't gamble with him. He is a well-known unscrupulous Taoist priest. He has always been a swindler and never does business at a loss."

"Little princess of the Ji family, you can't wrongly accuse me. I am a righteous man and have always been upright." Duan De said shamelessly.

"Tsk!" Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Ye Fan and said, "Little Taoist priest, I'll tell you the news for free, so you don't have to listen to his nonsense."

"Thank you, Miss Ji." Ye Fan nodded in thanks.

Then, Little Moon narrated what had happened one by one.

"So, a tomb robber dug out a broken bronze bell, which led to the news of the emergence of the Nine Secrets?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

Ji Ziyue nodded and said, "Unfortunately, when we found the tomb robber, he had already died inexplicably."

"He was silenced?"

"No, he seems to have been cursed. This kind of evil spell is often placed in the tombs of ancient monks." Ji Ziyue replied.

The ancient weapons shop did not keep this secret, and the news spread quickly. Many people speculated the approximate location based on the vague records on the bronze bell, which should be in Licheng.

Ye Fan stared at Duan De with a bad face and said, "This news will spread quickly. How dare you sell it to me for ten thousand catties of source?"

Duan De's face flushed as he said, "Once the news gets out, it loses its value. Now the key is the word 'early'. Knowing it one day earlier can get you a few steps ahead. In my opinion, it is definitely worth ten thousand catties of source."

"You are such a good talker." Ye Fan didn't want to waste any more time talking to him.

The Nine Secrets is a kind of secret technique that has been lost. It is very likely to be found here and reappear in the world. Ye Fan was very excited. He has mastered two of them. No one knows better than him how terrible such a magic is. He would rather exchange it with the ancient scriptures!
"Master Duan, you have traveled all over the world. I wonder if there are other clues we can find. How about we work together?" Yao Xi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that I will be silenced by your holy land at the last moment." Duan De said with a grin.

"How could that be? I'm talking about us. The forces behind us haven't arrived yet." Yao Xi smiled like a flower.

"I have some ideas in my mind, and I really need some help..." Duan De's chubby face showed an excited look.

"Brother Haoyue, Sister Zixia, King Peng, what do you think?" Yao Xi looked at everyone.

Everyone present nodded.

········
There were already many figures in the cemeteries in the suburbs of Licheng. Yao Xi frowned when he saw this. Duan De said, "It's okay. Over the past 10,000 years, Licheng has been relocated several times. There are many places in the cemetery area that they can't find."

In the next few days, more and more people appeared in the cemetery on the outskirts of Licheng. Almost all the monks smelled the scent and rushed to this old place.

At the same time, Duan De and several people dug hundreds of ancient tombs, but still found nothing and did not find any clues related to the Nine Secrets.

"We have already dug up hundreds of them. Do you want us to search the surrounding areas?" The Golden Winged Peng King showed a murderous look. Obviously, "archaeology" is not something that everyone likes to do.

Two days later, Duan De showed an excited look on his face and said, "Finally found it!"

"Master, have you found that cemetery?" Ji Haoyue asked with a gleam in his eyes.

"No, I have found the ancient site of Licheng. I believe I will be able to determine the exact location of the ancient tomb soon." Duan De replied, appearing confident.

"To be frank, I am indeed an expert in burial studies. Even the Demon Emperor's Tomb couldn't trap me. You should know that it's right to follow me to find the Nine Secrets!"

A horn sounded in the distance, deafening.

Rumble!
"The Jiang family's divine body has arrived, and I can sense his breath!" Ji Haoyue said, looking at the wild beast in the distance.

Zixia and the others also felt it. Just now, an extremely hot gaze swept over them, as if it could penetrate people's bones. It must be the divine body of the Jiang family!

With the sound of stringed instruments, curling mist and fluttering petals, a group of girls in white appeared in this world like fairies.

"I didn't expect that people from Yao Chi would come too." A strange light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. He had a good impression of this holy land.

"I saw the Saint of Yao Chi!" Ji Ziyue shouted, "Yao Chi has always been a place of peace and tranquility. I didn't expect the Saint of Yao Chi to come in person."

In the sky, a huge divine ship was flying across the sky, and chariots were rushing towards us one after another, and the sky was shaking constantly.

"Dayan Holy Land, Wanchu Holy Land!" Yao Xi's beautiful eyes emitted divine light.

Suddenly, purple air came from the east, boundless, invaluable, and inviolable, covering the east.

A suspended fairy palace appeared, riding on the purple air, hazy and unclear, surrounded by purple light, giving the entire world a layer of fairy air.

"Sister, why don't you act with the people from the Holy Land!" Yao Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zixia.

"Isn't it the same for my sister?"

Silently, a Taoist temple appeared high in the sky, with endless Taoist charm, as if it had stood there since ancient times. Many people did not notice when it appeared.

"Daoyi Holy Land has also sent people!" Ji Ziyue opened her mouth wide, very surprised.

In the old site of Licheng, in addition to the Jiang family, the Ji family, Yaoguang, and Yaochi, other holy places also came one after another. The Nine Secrets shocked the world, and this masterless magic made everyone unable to sit still.

The wild beasts roared, shaking the heaven and earth. In the distance, in addition to Wu Zhongtian, Li Heishui, and Jiang Huairen, some young people came to join them. The descendants of the thirteen great bandits in the Northern Territory were all present.

"Boom!"

A ferocious ancient ship, a thousand feet long, like an ancient ferocious beast, with its dragon head held high, coming against the wind and waves. The demon clan sent out its strong men.

"Hahaha! Interesting! Yan Ruyu is here too!" Zixia laughed, "Everyone who should come is here! The show is about to begin!"
