C539 Capture the Innkeeper of the Inn

"Is this really where the innkeeper is hiding? It doesn't look like someone came here recently, it's all ash." Ye Hongtian complained.

Walking to a closet in the room, Ye Hong Tian opened the closet. A few rats came out from the closet, covered in dust.

"Cough, cough, cough! How long has this stronghold been abandoned? There is too much dust." Ye Hong Tian coughed twice and said.

He wiped the dust on his face with his hand. After that, his face turned pale, but his hand turned completely black.

Looking at his hand, which had almost turned into coal, Ye Hongtian frowned. He looked like he was thinking about something.

"Even if it is the stronghold of the Dark Hall a long time ago, it is too strange to have so much dust. It might be the dust that the innkeeper of the inn deliberately created." Ye Hong Tian looked around and murmured.

First, he checked the closet in front of him. Then, he checked all the places that could hide people or hidden doors. Sure enough, he found stairs leading to an unknown place behind the dressing table in the room.

After finding the clues, Ye Hong Tian's first reaction was to go out and meet up with Wang Yucheng. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard.

He quickly walked to the door and pushed the door open to the courtyard. Coincidentally, he saw the back of the innkeeper who had left through the wall of the courtyard.

"Stop!"

After the innkeeper left the courtyard, Wang Yucheng followed closely behind. He was about to call out to Wang Yucheng, but Wang Yucheng had already gone far away. Ye Hong Tian did not care about the secret passage in the room and chased after him.

At a pond in the city, Ye Hongtian saw the innkeeper and Wang Yucheng fighting. The two of them exchanged a few moves and were evenly matched.

"Strange? The innkeeper is clearly just a Void Origin Stage martial artist, but why is he able to fight evenly with Wang Yucheng now?" Ye Hongtian thought with a frown.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongtian took advantage of the moment when the innkeeper clashed with Wang Yucheng and arrived behind the innkeeper. He slapped the innkeeper on the back of his head and knocked him out.

The innkeeper was suddenly knocked out by Ye Hongtian. Wang Yucheng immediately stopped his attack and came to Ye Hongtian's side. He bent down and pulled the Qiankun bag from the innkeeper's waist, rummaging through it.

After a moment, Wang Yucheng found his Golden Snake Rope from the innkeeper's Qiankun bag. A joyful expression appeared on his face as he put the Golden Snake Rope back into his Qiankun bag.

"Brother Wang, don't you think it's strange? When I saw the shopkeeper in the inn, he was only at the Void Origin Stage. I believe my senses are correct. But today, he is able to fight equally with you. There must be something wrong with this. "

Ye Hongtian rubbed his chin and stared at the innkeeper who had fainted. After telling Wang Yucheng about his doubts, he squatted down and started to rummage through the innkeeper's body.

He continued to strip the inn owner's clothes. Ye Hongtian did not find anything on the inn owner's body that could be used. Then, he started to rummage through the items in the inn owner's Qiankun bag.

"You are right. When I saw the innkeeper, I only felt the aura of the Void Origin Stage from him. However, since he was only a Void Origin Stage cultivator, I didn't pay much attention to him. However, when I found him today, he had the cultivation of the sixth level of the True Origin Stage. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to break through to the next level overnight. " Wang Yucheng said seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hong Tian suddenly stood up and smiled at Wang Yucheng. Then, he slowly took out a jade pendant from his Cosmos Sack.

Wang Yucheng's eyes widened when he saw the jade pendant. This jade pendant was the jade pendant that every member of the Dark Hall carried with them. As long as the owner of the jade pendant died, he would be able to transmit the last scene that the person saw to everyone on the jade pendant.

"It really is someone from the Dark Hall?" Wang Yucheng asked.

"Yes, but this is probably just a small group of people from this stronghold. I found a secret passage in a room, but he didn't enter the secret passage. This is very strange." Ye Hong Tian rubbed his chin as he paced back and forth.

"The possibility of him not entering the secret passage is not high. Maybe he doesn't know about the secret passage, or maybe the place that the secret passage leads to is not conducive to his escape."

As he spoke, Ye Hong Tian tied up the innkeeper with a lightning rope. This way, even if the innkeeper suddenly woke up, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Looking at the innkeeper's face, Ye Hongtian smiled bitterly and whispered, "Maybe he only wants to live a normal life, but he was dragged into it by me, so he had to expose his identity."

Ye Hong Tian's voice was very soft, but Wang Yucheng didn't hear it clearly. He only knew that Ye Hong Tian was muttering something.

The two of them did not care about the secret passage anymore. Instead, they brought the unconscious innkeeper back to the City Lord's Mansion and gave him to the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone gathered in the City Lord's room again. Ye Hongtian had already told everyone about the secret passage in the Dark Hall as soon as he came back. Now, all of them had serious expressions on their faces.

"Brother Ye, actually, I personally think we should try our best not to participate in the Dark Hall's matters. If this secret passage does not have to be investigated, we better not interfere." He looked at Ye Hongtian with a serious expression and said.0

Ye Hong Tian looked at Ye Hong Tian and nodded. He seemed to have agreed to ignore the secret passage, but in fact, he didn't want to.

"I'll listen to Brother Xi. Since Brother Wang has found the Golden Snake Rope, the three of us will leave first. There are still some urgent matters that have been delayed for the whole morning." Ye Hong Tian stood up and cupped his fists.

As Ye Hong Tian stood up, Lin Wanfeng and Luo Xiaoyu beside him also stood up and cupped their fists and bowed. Then, they prepared to leave with Ye Hong Tian.

Just as Ye Hongtian was about to open the door, he suddenly asked, "Brother Ye, where are you heading east? This is the city closest to the border. Brother Ye, are you going to the border to deal with something?"

Hearing the question, Ye Hong Tian's hand paused. He smiled and said, "We are not going to the border. We are going to your Alchemist Association."

"Oh?"

He looked at Ye Hongtian with a mocking smile. It was obvious that he already knew that Ye Hongtian was going to the Alchemist Association.

The two of them looked at each other with a smile. Each of them had their own thoughts. Ye Hong Tian did not know what he was thinking. However, he wanted to use the ridicule and Wang Yucheng to reach the Alchemist Association quickly.

If he had the help of the two of them, he believed that it would only take him a day to reach the Alchemist Association and return to the Sword Sect. After all, it was impossible for such a large faction like the Alchemist Association to not have a way to quickly return to the association.
