Liu Ruyan naturally knew everything about Yan Jie. She nodded and said, "There is a very deep cave underground in Linshan City, and the entrance is in the Zhang family's home. In that cave, there is a spiritual medicine growing, which is very magical. Since the entrance to the cave is in the Zhang family, this medicine was owned by the Zhang family. According to Zhang Xian, this medicine is the main material of a fairy pill. After it is successfully refined, it will be of great benefit to the skills practiced by the Demon Lord. It is precisely because of this that the Demon Lord will go through a lot of effort to attack Linshan City, which is not the same as killing all the people in the surrounding villages and towns to prevent the leak of the wind..."

Qian Jue looked at Liu Ruyan in surprise and asked, "I remember when Chen Mi came to Linshan City, he also asked you Demon Lord why he wanted to attack Linshan City. At that time, you all said they didn't know..."

Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "At that time, Zhang Xian won over his interests and said that after the medicine matured, the income obtained by the five families were equally divided. In order to win the trust of the heads of the other four major families, Zhang Xian also took us to the cave to watch. The spiritual medicine was indeed very magical. We were tempted by profit, so we agreed to conceal the news for the Zhang family."

Qian Jue suddenly realized: "Why don't you know after asking? It turns out that there are interests behind the scenes... Yes, if you told the matter of the spiritual medicine and acted in a deep manner, he would have taken it as his own under the pretext of the Demon Lord. At that time, the five major families would have been in vain!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Yan Jie with a bright look and said, "Now that the young master is here, I will naturally not hide it. According to Zhang Xian's words, the elixir will mature soon..."

Qian Jue frowned when Liu Ruyan said this. Listening to Liu Ruyan's tone, he clearly had bad thoughts about Yan Jie...

Yan Jie walked to the center of the teleportation array, took back the messaging talisman and the recruitment order, and did not notice Liu Ruyan's strange expression.

At this moment, he was still wondering, if the Demon Lord really attacked Linshan City for a spiritual medicine, why did he attack Chuyue City again? It can't be just to make up the medicine, right?

Yan Jie thought for a while and said to Qian Jue: "Since you already know the purpose of the Demon Lord, it would be a pity not to go and see it... Chu Yue City shouldn't have anything to do for a while. I think we should go to the caves under the city to check it out, and then go to Chu Yue City after confirming the reality. What do you think?"

Qian Jue wanted to rush back to Chuyue City immediately, but she knew in her heart that Yan Jie's suggestion was correct. The Demon Lord valued the spiritual medicine so much, and they might be able to use it to control the Demon Lord. If he could find out the reality of the Demon Lord from it, it would be even better.

Thinking of this, Qian Jue nodded and said, "Listen to you, let's go and take a look! However, it can't take too long..."

Yan Jie secretly praised: It is worthy of being the future emperor, and being able to restrain his emotions is not simple.

He knew Qian Jue's concern for Chu Yuecheng very well, but in the face of changes in the situation, he was able to make the right decision in the shortest time. This ability to stay awake at all times is not something that everyone has.

Yan Jie and Qian Jue handed over the things in the city to County Magistrate Zhu for handling. After a little preparation, they walked towards the Zhang family compound with Liu Ruyan.

As the five major families, the Zhang family's financial resources are far beyond the reach of the Liu family and the Bai family. So far, Yan Jie has only been to the Bailiu family. At this time, he, Qian Jue and Liu Ruyan, walked in the Bai family's yard, and felt that the styles of the Zhang family and the Bai family were completely different.

The Zhang family's architectural style is conservative, solemn and restrained, and is not as ostentatious as the Bai family. However, after careful observation, Yan Jie still felt that the Zhang family's mansion was far more luxurious than the Bai family.

Originally, there were many guard posts inside the Zhang family, and no one could enter the family's forbidden area.

However, under the leadership of Liu Ruyan, Yan and Qian were unobstructed.

Today, Liu Ruyan is in charge of five major families with one hand and the garrison in the city with the other. Her power is even greater than that of County Magistrate Zhu, and she is very popular.

Liu Ruyan took Yan Jie and the others through the forbidden area, crossed another wooden bridge, and then stopped.

She first asked Yan Jie and Qian Jue to continue moving forward, but she pressed a few hidden corners of the wooden bridge. Yan Jie's ears were mysterious and he vaguely heard a subtle sound of mechanical sounds in the abdomen of the mountain. After a while, a dark hole appeared on the back of the mountain.

Qian Jue quietly said to Yan Jie: "Did you see it? This girl Liu

It's not simple! She knows the secret mechanism of the Zhang family well, and must have put in secret efforts..."

Yan Jie was unconfident and he was not interested in the grievances and entanglements of various major families.

Liu Ruyan came to the entrance of the cave and explained to Yan Jie: "There is a very high-quality spiritual stone deposit in this mountain, which is one of the economic lifelines of the Zhang family. The mysterious spiritual medicine I mentioned is in this secret cave."

Yan Jie looked into the cave and saw a step-by-step inside the cave extending downwards. The cave was pitch black, as if a beast was opening its mouth was waiting for them to fall into the trap!

Seeing Yan Jie showing a fearful look, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry, this cave just looks gloomy and mysterious, but it's actually very warm inside. I've been in once, and there is no danger!"

Qian Jue sneered: "Miss Liu, have you never heard a saying? "The higher the cultivation level, the less courageous you are." This guy only has the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, but he is so brave that he can catch up with the Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Qian Jue's ridicule has always been sharp, and even Liu Ruyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled, and Yan Jie felt even more ashamed.

He sighed and said, "When you were in the Lu Temple, you gave me the nickname "coward". Now there is no need to replay the old tune, right?"

Qian Jue remembered the scene when the two met at the Lu Temple and couldn't help but chuckled.

Both girls are just mortals. Although Liu Ruyan has already said that there is no danger in the cave, Yan Jie still walked in front of him alone to explore the way, and let the two girls follow him.

The three of them walked less than a hundred feet into the cave, and a vertically downward abyss suddenly appeared in front of them. Steps stretched down the mountain wall, as if they were about to lead to endless underground.

The three of them walked down the stairs and walked for nearly half an hour, but there was still no sign of the stairs.

At this time, they were halfway up, unable to see the top, and unable to see the bottom.

The surrounding environment is still dark, the only difference is that the air around it seems to be getting hotter and hotter.

Yan Jie is not bad. After all, he is a monk and can do it without invasion of cold and heat.

But Qian Jue and Liu Ruyan, who were traveling with each other, were no longer able to do it. When the two girls walked here, they were already sweating profusely and their clothes were wet.

The two women were wearing summer clothes, which were light and breathable. When sweat soaked, their clothes were pressed on their bodies, outlining the exquisite figure of the two women, which made people think a lot.
