The ignorance of youth made Xu Yan ignore an amazing truth.

The ghost messenger who often appears outside the Taoist temple is actually not here to ask for the old Taoist priest's life, but to ask for his Xu Yan's life!

Anyone who is about to die will attract ghost missions. Hei and Bai Wuchang will only face the dying person and will never turn his back to the dying creature. This small and most easily missed truth was not seen clearly by Xu Yan after more than 30 years.

"Breaking clouds and storing vitality..."

Whispering infatuated whispers, Xu Yan's eyes became sad and confused.

He remembered his senior brother, Chu Ling'er, who had lost his vitality every three years, another miraculous effect of Piyun style, and also the miraculous skill that the old Taoist priest taught him step by step when he was young.

It turns out that Hei Bai Wuchang is looking for him, but the old Taoist priest has been saving his life for his only disciple since he was a child!!!

"Master!"

With a scream, Xu Yan felt like there was a thunder in his heart. This shock made him at a loss. If it weren't for his own burden, the old Taoist priest's body would not have been deteriorating. He was collecting ginseng in the deep mountains, but the old Taoist priest was exchanging his life for his life.

“Master…”

Grabbing a jar of wine and raising his head down, Xu Yan smiled bitterly, with a madness in his laughter.

"Master died because of me, because of me!"

Bang!

The wine jar was smashed to pieces. Even after years of danger, Xu Yan had never lost his composure, which shocked Mei Sanniang.

"Xu Yan! What's wrong with you? Don't scare the third sister!"

Hearing Mei Sanniang's call, Xu Yan finally woke up, sat aside weakly, and whispered: "San Sister, Master was killed by me. Without me, he would not have died early..."

"What harm is it? Your master loves you!" Mei Sanniang comforted: "Silly boy, don't think too much. Your master must be a strange person in the world. He has his own reason for doing this. Since you can't see through it, thinking too much will be useless. Maybe the old man has already achieved his cultivation and has flew to the sky. When you have achieved great success, just go to the sky to ask him."

Knowing that the third sister was comforting her, Xu Yan shook her head and said nothing more.

He had no intention of having a meal, so after saying goodbye to his third sister, Xu Yan walked out of Meixianglou, left the capital, and headed straight for the mountain gate of Jinqian Sect.

The truth about the old Taoist priest's life saving made Xu Yan fall into deep doubts again.

Although he was Chen He's abandoned child, he was in good health when he was a child and had no signs of dying. Why did the old Taoist priest want to save his life for him?

Now Xu Yan is no longer an ordinary person. His late-stage cultivation and years of experience have made him become much calmer. Standing on the magic weapon, he began to speculate.

Since he was a strong body when he was a child, and the old Taoist priest still chose to save his life with his life, it means that he must have had an unusual place at that time. Perhaps he was infected with a strange poison that no one could remove, or perhaps he was contaminated with some terrible aura, which made him look normal on the outside but actually his vitality was about to end.

The possibility of poison is the least, because after the old Taoist priest died, Xu Yan showed no sign of poison. As he practiced the Piyun style, his physique can be said to be getting better and stronger.

Since it is not poison, the most likely thing is the terrible aura that even practitioners cannot sometimes detect, such as miasma and the poison of the five elements.

"Is it because the breath brought by Tongtian River that made me live soon, and my master saved me from childhood?"

Thinking of this most likely guess, Xu Yan remembered the whispers he heard during Tianbei's enlightenment.

"One day, the iron tree blooms..."

Thinking of the whisper that the old Taoist priest said while holding the baby, Xu Yan frowned and said to himself: "Iron Tree, does it mean the tree at the end of Tongtian River? What kind of aura in the river makes me dying? Is it caused by the iron tree or the snow-capped alien race?"

Xu Yan, who was stepping on the magic weapon, fell into deep thoughts, his eyes getting colder and colder.

A speculation that even he himself would not believe was embedded in his mind like a vicious snake tooth, and could no longer be gone.

The owner of the snow mountain was looking for Xu Yan, and the young Taoist priest was fished out of the river again...

"Am I related to the Snow Mountain!"

Subconsciously covering his left eye, Xu Yan's mind suddenly became restless.

There was a monster in his left eye, perhaps even he himself was a monster. If the monster came along the river and was thrown out of the snow mountain, then Xu Yan's identity might be from the snow mountain.

"The demons... cannot..."

The magic weapon under his feet rose into a violent aura, and circles of spiritual power fluctuations appeared in the sky, like a little ripples, breaking the quiet water surface.

"I'm not a demon!!!"

The roar at the sky was filled with anger. For a moment, Xu Yan's mind almost lost. This speculation of his origin from the demon made him frightened and he was even more reluctant to believe it.

"I'm not a demon..." Stopped in the air, the blue veins on Xu Yan's forehead swelled up, and he squeezed his hands tightly.

"If I were a demon, my master would not save my life!"

The old Taoist priest was willing to spend his life to save his disciples, which made Xu Yan gradually calm down. He raised his hand and touched the top of his head. Confirm that there was no flesh horn. Xu Yan exhaled a long breath.

Looking at the pale hands, there was no strange black marks like the barbarians on it, which means that he was not an alien race, but the monster in his left eye might be really related to the demon race.

After calming down his mind, Xu Yan could determine that he was definitely not a barbarian, but is the monster in his left eye related to the demon clan?

More and more secrets were lifted up, but what they learned was not the truth, but the tip of the iceberg, which brought deeper and deeper doubts. Xu Yan's heart was always heavy, and the fog in front of him seemed to be unable to be cleared anymore.

With great worries, Xu Yan arrived at the mountain gate of Jinqian Sect.

Returning to the sect, he came directly to Tianhai Tower, and found that the building was empty, the senior sister disappeared, and even the bully dog ​​disappeared in the yard.

In the empty sect, there were only a few Xu Dan elders left behind. Xu Yan found a few to inquire about Pang Hongyue, but in the end he was ineffective because these Xu Dan elders did not know what Pang Hongyue's mission was, and no one knew where Pang Hongyue was now.

"Where is the gathering place between the two factions of good and evil?" Xu Yan asked with a calm face. The Xu Dan elders in front of him looked at each other and shook their heads.

The plan to intercept the big monster was arranged by Yan Xingtian, but no one knew about these elders from the left-behind sects.

The elder of the sect didn't know about it. Xu Yan felt it was difficult now. He was not afraid of the hundred demons, but his wife was plundered by the hundred demons.

Waving his hand to let the elders leave, Xu Yan sat in the empty Tianhai Tower and pondered without saying a word, speculating on Pang Hongyue's whereabouts.

Tianhai Tower is deserted, but Qianji Mansion is very lively and can be said to be a mess.
