Chapter 167 Guardian Spirit 35

In the mausoleum, the impact on Elder Tang was no less than that on Ji Tianshi and others.

The knowledge he had acquired in the first forty years of his life was shattered by the reality before him.

It was agreed that Tianshi could not turn into a ghost after death!

What did Yao Rong mean by this?

Oh, he understood. Under normal circumstances, Tianshi would not turn into a ghost after death, but if he did, he would turn into a ghost king, right?

Elder Tang looked dazed. He caught a glimpse of the ghost bride rolling to his feet. He reflexively swung out the thousand-year-old peach wood sword and chopped at the ghost bride, almost cutting off one of her arms.

The ghost bride felt pain, and the ghost fire around her body became more and more intense. She rose up in a very unreasonable posture and attacked Elder Tang's vital point.

Elder Tang had been seriously injured while trying to cover the retreat of the crowd. He had used up most of the treasures he had brought with him. The sword attack had consumed all of his spiritual energy. He had no other options left and could only face his own end. Just

as the ghost bride's hand was about to cover Elder Tang's vital point, another sword came from the side, and the ghost bride rolled out again.

Elder Tang: "..."

He suspected that Yao Rong had a bad taste and liked to see the ghost bride rolling around like a wolf.

The ghost bride obviously hated Yao Rong, and the first thing she did when she got up was to order her subordinates to go with her to surround Yao Rong.

Yao Rong stood still with a sword in hand, and no ghost dared to offend him.

The ghost bride was going crazy, and she said sharply: "How dare you disobey my order!"

"Even if you are the master of the mausoleum, you can't close the gap between you and me." Yao Rong raised his hand and waved it, and the Yin Qi that originally connected the ghost bride and ordinary ghosts all solidified and then broke.

After this resonance was cut off, the power of the ghost bride instantly fell from the ghost king to the ghost guardian, and the ghosts that were originally driven by the ghost bride crawled on the ground and trembled.

Yao Rong asked Xie Yinian: "Will you do it yourself next?"

"I will do it myself."

Xie Yinian raised his sword to meet him.

The ghost bride at the guardian level is still much stronger than Xie Yinian, but she has been in the mausoleum for too long and has never experienced actual combat. Her means of attack are always the same.

Xie Yinian easily figured out the attack pattern of the ghost bride. He had been fighting ghosts for many years, and with his fighting skills, he could fight the ghost bride.

But Xie Yinian knew very well that if the stalemate continued, he would definitely be the loser. He

had to find a way to break the deadlock.

Xie Yinian used the sword to block the attack of the ghost bride, and his mind turned quickly. Suddenly, he thought of the gold thread in his arms.

Why did the ghost bride insist on getting her hairpin back?

Seeing that he was gradually losing the upper hand, Xie Yinian gritted his teeth and decided to fight.

He took a step back, releasing the sword while releasing the recoil. His free right hand grasped the golden thread in his arms. He risked taking a blow from the ghost bride in order to close the distance with her, injecting spiritual power into the golden thread, making it sharp and hard, and piercing it into her eyes with all his strength.

The ghost bride screamed and tried to throw Xie Yinian off.

Her long hair fluttered, and at this moment, Xie Yinian saw the wound on her neck that was covered by her long hair.

The wound was extremely thin and long, but deep enough to see the bone, as if...

it was caused by a golden nail!

Xie Yinian held his breath, pulled out the golden thread, and used force again to pierce the golden thread into the wound of the ghost bride.

The gold thread gave off a scorching heat, almost burning Xie Yinian's palm.

He took the opportunity to let go, rolled on the spot, and held the Zhaodan sword again, taking a defensive posture, and looked at the ghost bride vigilantly.

But the ghost bride had no intention of fighting back.

She covered her neck with a grimace, as if she wanted to pull out the gold thread, but she didn't dare to touch it.

Elder Tang was at a loss: "What's going on?"

Xie Yinian wiped the blood foam from the corner of his lips with his sleeve, took a few quick breaths, and then answered Elder Tang's question: "I saw that she cared so much about the hairpin, so I tried to use it to deal with her. I didn't expect it to be effective."

The ghost bride looked at Xie Yinian fiercely. She wanted to scold him, but her voice was weak: "Despicable!"

Xie Yinian was scolded by a ghost for being despicable for the first time, and he felt innocent: "Didn't you ask me to return the hairpin to you?"

Elder Tang became more and more confused as he listened.

He naturally heard the words that the ghost bride muttered, but where did Xie Yinian get the hairpin?

Elder Tang looked at Xie Yinian with some complexity. How could such a brave and resourceful young man have such a rebellious mind?

Xie Yinian still looked innocent: "Elder Tang, why are you looking at me like that?"

Elder Tang: "..."

Elder Tang's worries were blocked by Xie Yinian.

He said depressedly: "Nothing."

Xie Yinian smiled, took the Zhaodan Sword as a crutch, and came to the ghost bride with it: "Elder Tang, let's work together to purify the evil spirit in the ghost bride and restore her mind to a little clarity. I have something to ask her."

Half an hour later, the blood red in the ghost bride's eyes faded a lot, and her mood became calm: "What do you want to talk about?"

Xie Yinian sat cross-legged in front of her: "Introduce yourself first."

The ghost bride lowered her eyes, looked at Xie Yinian, and then looked at Yao Rong not far away. In the end, she gave up the struggle and chose to be honest.

This is a very simple story.

The ghost bride was a girl from a declining noble family. During one of her trips, she was spotted by a young prince and was hired as his principal wife.

This was indeed a perfect wedding.

But shortly before the wedding, the young prince died unexpectedly. Her parents and relatives forced her to be buried alive with the prince. Only in this way could she keep her status as a princess and keep her family rich.

Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement, except herself.

But her resistance was too weak in front of those people. Just when she was planning to escape, her maid betrayed her. Later, she was drugged by her mother and fell into a coma. She was sent to the mausoleum with a thousand slaves who were buried alive.

After the tomb was sealed, the oxygen inside became increasingly thinner. The ghost bride woke up at this time. In order to end her suffering, she pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into her neck.

Her resentment soaked the golden hairpin, so after she sensed the aura of the golden hairpin on Xie Yinian, she was ruthless to Xie Yinian and wanted to take the golden hairpin back.

In addition, the golden hairpin was the weapon that took her life, and the wound caused by the golden hairpin was the biggest flaw on her body, so Xie Yinian used the golden thread to stab the wound on her neck again, and her reaction was so strong.

The ghost bride's remarks answered many of the confusions in Elder Tang's heart.

But he still had some things that he didn't understand.

"Where did you get that golden thread?" Elder Tang asked Xie Yinian.

Yao Rong also looked at Xie Yinian.

Obviously, before entering the mausoleum, Xie Yinian did not have this thing.

Xie Yinian's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "It is the oil lamp that Chief Xie gave me."

"The gold thread is hidden in the oil lamp."

Elder Tang was stunned, pondered for a moment, and wondered: "How did he get the gold thread, and how did he know that the gold thread would arouse the hatred of the ghost bride?"

Xie Yinian expressed his guess: "I suspect that Chief Xie went to this mausoleum with that group of tomb robbers."

Yao Rong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Elder Tang nodded: "I understand. I will investigate this matter carefully. With a powerful enemy in front of us, the Tianshi League will never tolerate such people who take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

When he said the words "powerful enemy in front of us", Elder Tang still couldn't help but glanced at Yao Rong secretly.

Yao Rong smiled slightly and looked at Elder Tang calmly.

Elder Tang showed a little embarrassment on his face and quickly changed the subject: "The matter is almost resolved. Let's go out first. They must be very anxious outside."

Yao Rong said: "These ghosts in the mausoleum cannot be left alone. Let them go out with me. I will restrain them, and you don't have to worry about them causing trouble again."

Elder Tang's face was almost bitter.

This, this, this...

Is Yao Rong going to strengthen his strength and increase his influence under his nose?

Oh, he remembered, even if Yao Rong had no power at all, and attacked the Tianshi League alone, they might not be able to defeat her.

That's fine.

She can take all these ghosts out and help him complete the tasks assigned by the league.

Elder Tang calmly opened the door and even helped maintain order, so that these ghosts were neatly lined up behind Yao Rong.

Xie Yinian held his stomach and almost rolled on the ground with laughter. He felt that his Taoism was still far behind those old foxes.

***

Outside the mausoleum.

Ji Tianshi, Patriarch Xie, Xie Zuo and others were still in chaos.

As for the life and death of Xie Yinian and Elder Tang?

Sorry, it's not that they don't have comradeship, but there is no need to worry at all.

The one who should be really afraid is the ghost bride.

After a long while, someone said in a sullen voice: "You guys, is it possible that only Xie Zhou's body is buried in this joint tomb, and Yao Rong's body is not actually buried in it?"

This was really a bit self-deception, and the man closed his mouth again after he finished speaking.

But these words brought Patriarch Xie back to his senses from his daze.

He had to suppress his confused thoughts and try to think about the current situation.

His plan of "killing someone with a borrowed knife" was perfectly arranged -

Xie Yinian had the Zhaodan Sword and the Xuanhei Magic Ring, so he was most suitable to walk in first.

As long as Xie Yinian walked in the front, Xie Yinian must be responsible for holding the oil lamp and always be vigilant about whether the oxygen content in the mausoleum was sufficient.

When Xie Yinian enters the main tomb, the ghost bride will immediately sense the breath of the hairpin and fight with Xie Yinian.

Even if Xie Yinian has the best defensive magic weapon and the imperial weapon, he will never be able to defeat the ghost bride with the strength of the ghost king, and will eventually die at the hands of the ghost bride.

Once Xie Yinian dies, he can just think of a way to make Yao Rong, whose "strength has dropped sharply", die quietly in the mausoleum.

From then on, he can rest easy.

But Patriarch Xie never expected that Yao Rong was actually a female ghost!

And a female ghost who could perfectly hide beside them!

What kind of strength is this?

Obviously, his plan failed.

But he had no time to be disappointed. What he needed to worry about now was: Would Yao Rong and Xie Yinian find out what role he played in this matter?

"Finally I found you."

At this moment, Elder Tang's voice came from not far away.

Then, Elder Tang's figure walked out of the mist.

Everyone looked at him, but they did not feel relieved. Instead, they put on a vigilant posture and stared at Yao Rong behind him.

Elder Tang was stunned by their reaction, and when he saw the tombstones, he suddenly understood.

He sighed and said, "The ghost bride has been sealed, and the ghost den has been solved."

It was a bit hard to understand, but Elder Tang still had to admit: "This is all Yao Rong's credit."

"Elder Tang!" Ji Tianshi shouted.

How can you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?

Elder Tang waved his hands and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get back."

Temporarily suppressing Master Ji and the others, Elder Tang turned his head to look at Xie Yinian.

He had just been thinking about it and gradually figured out some clues: Yao Rong had never killed a master, and he also helped them solve the problems of the ghost bride and the ghost den. Why?

Obviously, it was for Xie Yinian.

Although Elder Tang felt that Xie Yinian was not a good guy, the alliance invested in him, but he hid such an important thing from the alliance, but at this moment, he had to rely on Xie Yinian to communicate with Yao Rong.

Elder Tang spoke in a very polite tone, as if to negotiate: "We will withdraw to the village first, and you and your mother will withdraw later. Is that okay with you?"

Xie Yinian: "Okay."

Elder Tang warned, "Watch your mother. Don't forget, you are the master of the Zhaodan Sword and a member of the Tianshi League."

Xie Yinian narrowed his eyes, "I know, Elder Tang, don't worry."

Elder Tang... Elder Tang was really worried.

But he couldn't help being worried.

"Let's go." Elder Tang dragged his tired body and waved to Ji Tianshi and the others.

Ji Tianshi opened his mouth and said, "Are you going back like this?"

Elder Tang rolled his eyes, "You can't die in vain."

He just died at the hands of the ghost bride, and he could still say that he died heroically.

Now what's the matter with dying at the hands of Yao Rong?

Watching the group gradually go away, Xie Yinian's eyes crooked, and he said to Yao Rong: "Mom, look at the expression of Elder Tang, hesitant to speak, I am worried that he will suffocate to death."

Yao Rong patted Xie Yinian's head: "How can you watch the elders laugh?"

Xie Yinian tried hard to hold back his laughter: "Mom, you are still blaming me, aren't you also trying to scare Elder Tang."

Yao Rong innocently: "When he was young, he was very noisy. He was scared by the mouse and "I used to yell at others for three days and three nights, and now I'm not used to seeing him pretending to be calm. I'm also helping him recall his youth."

Xie Yinian: "... Elder Tang is honored to have you as a friend."

Yao Rong said frankly: "I think so too."

Elder Tang was determined to die in this mission, and she helped him complete the mission and blocked the ghost bride's attack for him. It's not too much to say that she is his savior.

The mother and son laughed for a while, Yao Rong sighed, looked at the silent tombstone in front of her, and her voice became lowered: "Go meet your father and the elders."

Xie Yinian nodded and took out the incense candle from the black magic ring.

He started to worship from the grave at the edge.

Yao Rong stood beside him, introducing these people to him, and slowly telling him about their past deeds.

Xie Yinian listened attentively, his hands kept moving, lighting incense, candles and paper money.

Even though he knew that they had already been reincarnated and could not receive the things he burned, humans worship the dead not only for the dead to live better in the underworld, but more often for the living to express their grief.

After worshiping the others, Xie Yinian squatted in front of the joint tomb of Xie Zhou and Yao Rong.

He looked down at himself, lifted the cleanest part of his clothes, and wiped the dust off the tombstone bit by bit: "Dad, I'm here to see you."

"You know, I'm much more powerful now than you were back then."

Xie Yinian's eyes were a little red, and he tried to hold back his tears: "I will be able to deal with those bad guys soon and take you back to the Xie family."

***

Elder Tang, Chief Xie and others did not delay for a moment and returned to the village entrance at the fastest speed.

It was only one day from entering the mountain to leaving the mountain, but when everyone stood in front of the plaque of "Qingyang Village" again, they all felt as if they were in another world.

"Look!"

Ji Tianshi suddenly pointed to the front and shouted.

Everyone looked.

The dark and terrifying ghost cave was shrinking inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon passed Qingyang Village and disappeared into the forest.

As soon as the ghost cave retreated, everyone's mobile phones could immediately receive signals.

The next second, the leader of the Tianshi League called Elder Tang's mobile phone.

At this moment, the top leaders of the Tianshi League gathered in the meeting room.

The leader of the Tianshi League turned on the speaker button on his mobile phone and asked Elder Tang as soon as he answered the phone: "Have you completed the mission?"

Although they knew that the mission was most likely completed when the ghost cave retreated, they still wanted to confirm with Elder Tang again.

"Well, it's done."

The leader of the Tianshi League didn't hear the reluctance in Elder Tang's tone, and asked: "What are the casualties? Alas, the casualties of this operation must be very heavy."

"Well... Everyone was injured, but no one died."

"No one died!?" In the conference room, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and voices came one after another, "Could it be that one of you suddenly broke through in strength?"

Elder Tang wiped his face fiercely: "That... Leader, I want to tell you something, don't get excited."

As a senior member of the Tianshi League, apart from other things, he is definitely not young.

"Whatever you have to say, just say it quickly." The leader of the Tianshi League urged repeatedly, thinking that Elder Tang was not the kind of person who would dilly-dally before, so why can't he even say one thing smoothly now.

Elder Tang coughed twice: "That... um... Actually Yao Rong is the ghost king who appeared in the valley. This operation was successfully completed thanks to her help."

Tianshi League leader: "..."

He could understand every word that Elder Tang said, but when they were combined together, why couldn't he understand it?

The leader of the Tianshi League, who always refused to admit his age, began to worry that he was hard of hearing due to his age.

He raised his head and looked around, but saw the same magical expression on other people's faces.

Many elders raised their hands to cover their hearts.

The leader of the Tianshi League couldn't help but cover his heart tightly, and asked Elder Tang: "How long will it take you to get back to the Tianshi League in City D?"

Because of the ghost den, they all rushed to City D from the Tianshi League headquarters.

"Half an hour."

"Okay, I'll report back when you come back." The leader of the Tianshi League hung up the phone calmly. The next second, he shouted to the outside, "Where are the people? Where are the people? There's still half an hour. Go out and buy two bottles of quick-acting heart-saving pills!"

If he didn't take some medicine and continued to listen to Elder Tang's report, he was worried that after Elder Tang finished his report, everyone in the conference room would fall down.

We must give each other some time to slow down.

Half an hour later, everyone in the conference room raised their glasses and swallowed the quick-acting heart-saving pills they had just bought.

Hearing the knock on the door, the leader of the Tianshi League calmly put the medicine bottle into his pocket.

Everyone calmly looked at Elder Tang and his men who pushed the door open, showing the demeanor of a general who could not change his expression even under the pressure of a mountain.

"You have been tired, sit down and have a glass of water before we talk." The leader of the Tianshi League said slowly.

Elder Tang and his men sat down in the empty seats below.

After taking a sip of water, Elder Tang was about to speak when Chief Xie interrupted him, saying, "Elder Tang, you are the most seriously injured. Why don't you sit down and rest, and let the rest of us report?"

Elder Tang looked at Chief Xie with a deep gaze.

Chief Xie felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, wondering if he knew something. He was about to speak again, but Elder Tang said, "Then let Chief Xie speak for me. I will fill in the gaps for you if you don't know anything." Chief Xie

was able to become the head of a clan, so he was naturally a good speaker.

He started from the time he entered the mountain, and his description was so vivid that the leader of the Tianshi League and others felt as if they were there.

When it comes to the ghost bride being able to use the mausoleum to increase her strength to the level of a ghost king, the leader of the Tianshi League and others breathe a sigh of relief.

When it comes to their escape from death, the leader of the Tianshi League and others quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

When it comes to seeing those tombstones after escaping from the mausoleum, the leader of the Tianshi League and others know that the main topic has come.

Chief Xie said coldly: "It is obvious that Xie Yinian has always known Yao Rong's identity, but he has never thought of reporting this to the league."

In fact, Elder Tang also thought so in his heart, but when Chief Xie said this, it sounded very much like instigating discord.

Elder Tang had to stand up and say something fair.

Unexpectedly, after Elder Tang finished speaking, Chief Xie's tone became even colder: "Elder Tang, have you also been deceived by the Ghost King and the Ghost King's son!"

"You should know that Xie Yinian is not the master of the Zhaodan Sword of our Tianshi League, but the son of the Ghost King!"

Chief Xie's intentions were exposed. Elder Tang originally suspected him, and now he saw more clearly the sinister intentions of Chief Xie.

Most people call Xie Yinian the master of the Zhaodan Sword.

But Chief Xie insisted on calling Xie Yinian "the son of the Ghost King". Isn't this repeatedly emphasizing Xie Yinian's life experience to everyone and trying to send Xie Yinian to the camp of ghosts and monsters?

Chief Xie continued, "Elder Tang, they are not of our clan, and their hearts are despicable. Don't let them deceive you just because of a little personal friendship from the past!"

Elder Tang laughed angrily, "Okay, as you said, Xie Yinian is the son of the Ghost King. What are you going to do? Kill Xie Yinian? Have you ever thought about why Yao Rong has never killed a Heavenly Master in these years, but has helped him many times? Who is it for? If you dare to hurt Xie Yinian, aren't you afraid of Yao Rong's revenge?"

Chief Xie said, "Xie Yinian saw this point clearly, so he acted so recklessly."

"He knew very well that even if we knew the truth, we would never dare to take any measures against him, so he not only took away the Zhaodan Sword, but also tricked the leader into taking away a bunch of cultivation materials."

Taking away the Zhaodan Sword, he made the Zhaodan Sword recognize him by his own strength, but the latter...

Everyone looked at the leader of the Tianshi League, condemning him for aiding the enemy with their eyes.

Leader, I didn't expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to aid the enemy.

Who knew that the traitor was around me!

The leader of the Tianshi League was so upset.

Why are you all looking at him?

He didn't know about this beforehand.

Patriarch Xie hit the pain point of the senior leaders of the Tianshi League, and thought he had won the battle. He said leisurely: "The Tianshi League and the Ghost King are mortal enemies, but now the Tianshi League has spent all its efforts and resources to help the Ghost King raise a son."

"Fortunately, the matter was exposed early. If it was not exposed until Xie Yinian became the number one in the Tianshi world, all of us here would have no face to face the heroes of the Tianshi League in the underworld in the future!"

The person that the leader of the Tianshi League hates the most now is definitely Patriarch Xie.

You are the only one who can speak, right?

What about helping the Ghost King raise a son, what about having no face to face heroes, isn't this a blatant poke at his spine.

But no matter how angry the leader of the Tianshi League is, he has to hold his nose and bear it.

Lu Hexuan had already fallen out with the Xie family when Xie Yinian signed the contract for the Zhaodan Sword. He sneered, "Patriarch Xie has said so much. In your opinion, how should we deal with Yao Rong and Xie Yinian?"

Patriarch Xie was still speaking generously just now, but his attitude immediately softened: "Of course, it depends on the decision of the alliance."

Lu Hexuan sneered.

Once the words "help the Ghost King raise a son" came out, the Tianshi League would never provide Xie Yinian with cultivation resources in the future, and would even be wary and cautious of Xie Yinian because of his identity as the "Ghost King's son."

The Tianshi League may not dare to kill Xie Yinian directly, but they can still do various small actions such as suppressing Xie Yinian and driving him out of the Tianshi League.

Is this the decision of the League?

This is exactly what Patriarch Xie wants!

Lu Hexuan said: "Clan leader Xie, it is better to be less selfish when facing major issues."

Patriarch Zhou is fed up with the people of Patriarch Xie's lineage. Why do they always treat everyone as fools? There are too many such petty thoughts that are not worthy of being shown on the stage: "Clan leader Xie, the Tianshi League is not a gun in your hand. Don't think about asking the Tianshi League to help you deal with your enemies."

Patriarch Xie spread his hands, smiled slightly, and said gracefully: "It seems that you have misunderstood me. If you don't believe me, our Xie family will not express any opinions on how to deal with Yao Rong and Xie Yinian in the future."

Elder Tang snorted coldly.

Even the deputy leader who had always been on good terms with the Xie family had a grim look on his face, and was obviously very dissatisfied with what the Xie clan leader had said.

Xie Zuo took in everyone's reactions and became more and more worried.

Since when did people from their lineage start to be increasingly disliked by everyone?

Even if they really took the opportunity to get rid of Yao Rong and Xie Yinian, would their lineage still have a place to stay in the Tianshi League, or even in the Xie family?

Moreover, could this little move really get rid of Yao Rong and Xie Yinian...

"Wow, it's really lively today, with so many people here."

The cold voice mixed with a faint smile spread in the conference room.

Amid the sudden changes in the expressions of many people, Yao Rong appeared in the conference room with Xie Yinian.

She patted the non-existent dust on her palms and sat down in front of the leader of the Tianshi League.

Except for the leader of the Tianshi League, everyone in the conference room immediately stood up and drew their weapons, taking a defensive posture and confronting Yao Rong.

"You, you, you..." Elder Tang stuttered, "How did you get in!"

"You want to ask why the formation outside didn't stop me?" Yao Rong chuckled, "Of course it's because I'm too strong."

Elder Tang almost bit his tongue, but he couldn't refute Yao Rong.

It's not that the formation of the Tianshi League is not strong enough, but Yao Rong is too strong.

So strong that the formation is useless.

So strong that she can come and go freely in the Tianshi League.

Elder Tang wanted to ask more, but the leader of the Tianshi League waved his hand to stop Elder Tang, and said calmly: "I have met the ghost king who died at the hands of the ancestor of the Yao family. That ghost king is very strong, but not to your level."

The Tianshi League has been passed down for so many years, and has killed no less than two-digit ghost kings.

They also have trump cards and reliance.

But now, the leader of the Tianshi League couldn't help but wonder: Can those trump cards and reliance really get rid of Yao Rong?

"Not bad. My strength is far better than that of an ordinary ghost king." Yao Rong admitted readily.

In fact, a few years ago, her strength was just the level of an ordinary ghost king.

But in the past few years, she has been refining the Yinsha Sword day and night.

As she has been refining the Yinsha Sword more and more deeply, her strength has also improved qualitatively.

Now, her strength should have reached the level of a half-step ghost fairy.

No matter what kind of living being, once they break through from the mortal body to the fairy level, even if they have just started to touch this realm, it is difficult for the world to have an enemy.

The leader of the Tianshi League remained calm: "Your Excellency, you are here to break off relations with us?"

Yao Rong looked at Xie Yinian and motioned him to sit down.

Xie Yinian pulled an office chair from the side, but did not sit next to Yao Rong. Instead, he chose to sit behind Yao Rong and acted as Yao Rong's spokesperson: "Leader, my mother did not come here to declare war."

The top leaders of the Tianshi League were very upset.

This "mother" was really...

Alas, Xie Yinian called out naturally, but they felt worried when they heard it.

Xie Yinian didn't care about the feelings of the senior leaders at all, and continued: "My mother found out something interesting, and wants to ask the Tianshi League to help investigate. Even if it's a thank you gift for helping the Tianshi League get rid of the ghost bride and the ghost den, I wonder what the leader of the league thinks."

Yao Rong tapped the table with his fingertips and added: "I think the people from the Tianshi League don't want to owe me a favor."

Patriarch Xie suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Before he could say anything, the leader of the alliance nodded: "Okay, what do you want to check?"

Yao Rong looked at Elder Tang and asked: "Old Tang, have you reported the matter that the ghost bride said to your leader?"

Elder Tang: "...No."

Yao Rong: "I deliberately gave you so much time, but you haven't reported it yet. You don't want to cover up for the Xie Fu family, do you?" The

leader of the Xie clan, his name is Xie Fu.

Elder Tang: "...I don't have such a good relationship with Xie Fu."

"Then you tell it or I tell it."

"I'll tell it."

Everyone didn't know what Yao Rong and Elder Tang were talking about, but soon, Elder Tang told everything that happened in the main tomb, exactly as it happened, without any personal emotions.

As soon as the words fell, Chief Xie angrily said, "Nonsense!"

Xie Yinian took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

When he unfolded the cloth, he found a gold thread soaked in lamp oil.

"This is evidence."

Chief Xie sneered, "Ridiculous, do you think you can slander me by just finding a gold thread?"

Lu Hexuan suddenly said, "Xie Fu's lineage is not good at business, and his business is always at a loss. When he was young, in order to have money to buy better magic tools, he met many tomb robbers and often followed them to the tomb."

Ghosts are often encountered in tombs.

Every profession has its own specialty. Grave robbers are good at robbing graves, but not at catching ghosts. Therefore, many grave robbers will ask one or two Heavenly Masters to accompany them before they go to the tomb.

Patriarch Xie made a lot of money by doing this.

Sometimes he could even bring out some magic tools from the ancient tombs.

An elder who had a good relationship with Patriarch Xie suddenly realized: "No wonder Xie Fu never lacked magic tools when he was young. I thought it was given to him by the family, but I didn't expect it to be this way."

Patriarch Xie said coldly: "This can't prove that I entered the tomb of the Western Zhou kings and princes more than ten or twenty years ago." Xie

Yinian said: "Indeed. So my mother wants to ask the Heavenly Master Alliance to find the group of grave robbers back then and let them identify Xie Fu."

The leader nodded in agreement and ordered his assistant to do this.

As a celestial master, one often has to deal with antiques, so the celestial master league has a strong network of people in the antique industry.

As long as the tomb robbers are still alive, and as long as they have sold antiques taken out of the tombs of the kings and princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the celestial master league will be able to find them sooner or later.

The leader asked: "This matter will definitely not be solved in a short time. Do you have any other evidence?"

Xie Yinian: "In addition to the tomb robbers, I have many special witnesses."

The leader was stunned: "Special witnesses? Who are they?"

"The ghosts in the mausoleum."

The leader: "...Okay, call them out, I want to hear their testimony."

He has been the leader for so many years, and he has solved cases before.

This is the first time he has seen ghosts used as witnesses.

Yao Rong waved her hand, and a dozen powerful ghosts of at least the level of ghost servants appeared in the conference room.

The moment they appeared, the copper bells hanging in the corners of the entire Tianshi League building began to vibrate wildly, emitting sharp and rapid alarm sounds.

Yao Rong tapped with her fingertips, and a negative energy spread out from her body.

Wherever it passed, the copper bells were tightly wrapped by the negative energy, and could no longer spread out a ripple.

The leader finally knew why they didn't hear the alarm when Yao Rong stepped into the conference room.

Yao Rong said: "It's quiet now. Let's continue."

The senior leaders of the Tianshi League wiped their sweat strategically.

Only Chief Xie spoke up: "You are the ghost king, and they are all your subordinates. What can't you ask them to testify?"

Yao Rong raised her eyes slowly.

This was the first time she had looked at Chief Xie since she entered the conference room.

His floating eyes were like admiring an ant's dying struggle.
