Chapter 39 The fairest and most unfair thing in the world
The sky was gloomy and dark clouds covered the mountains.

Tan Tai Ye was immersed in the Pool of Blood and Red Heart, but his energy-gathering skills and efficiency were far inferior to those of Song Chai Xin beside him. He was distracted for a moment and his efficiency was even lower.

"What's the noise?"

At this time, he looked up at the sky, and a sudden impulse came over him. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, so he stood up from the pool and steamed the moisture off his body.

When Tan Taiye looked at Song Chaixin,
But when he found that even if the sky was clear as clouds one moment and turned dark the next, it still did not affect this guy's practice, he could not help but admire him:
"It is admirable that he remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai."

He thought to himself.

Thump thump thump.
At the same time, outside the Blood and Red Heart Pond, there were sudden footsteps, causing Tan Taiye to turn around.

When he saw two disciples wearing the standard robes of the Qinjian Pavilion, but coming here on their own without being led by any elders, he couldn't help but feel strange:
"Which elder are you two under?"

"If you want to practice in the Jade Blood and Red Heart Pond, you must be approved by your master and then have the Pavilion Master's order before you can enter."

"If you two have not reached the level of Zhou Tian Qi Gathering, or have not been granted it, it is better not to barge in casually, so as to avoid being discovered and punished later."

He stood up and tried to stop her.
Then I heard the person in the lead speak hoarsely:
"We two are disciples who have been approved by Elder Tan Tai to come to the Jade Blood and Red Heart Pond to practice."

"The old man met an old friend and couldn't get away for the time being, so he asked the two of us to come here on our own."

"I don't know which elder this fellow disciple is from?"

Elder Tan Tai?
The Qinjiange's surname is Tan Tai, and they are from Aquarius State. There are only two people in total.

Apart from Tan Tai Ye, who had been here for a year or two, Tan Tai Yao was the only one left.

As for the Jade Blood and Red Heart Pool, no one else is allowed to enter except those who have been taught the true teachings and confidants, as well as those who have been personally approved by the Pavilion Master.

The only person who has recently received the approval of his master, Tan Tai Yao, is Song Chai Xin, who is beside him.

So, what orders from Elder Tan Tai are you following?
Tan Taiye rolled up his sleeves, his anger rising:

"Which elder am I a disciple of?"

"Grandpa, my last name is Tan Tai. Who do you think I am a disciple of?"

"You are so blatant and deceitful that you have run into the master's door. It is simply ridiculous. You don't want to follow me to the Pavilion Master's door to receive punishment, but you are still pretending here. Do you really not want to stay in this Qinjian Pavilion anymore?"

Lifting the hilt on one side of the sword, although Tan Tai Ye's Qi gathering was not as good as Song Chai Xin's, he condensed ten strands and almost opened up his inner scene. He could start to shape the 'Vajra Immaculate Body', but condensing four or five strands was also considered a success in Qi gathering.

At this moment, he was about to try out the ingredients of the 'blood and blue qi', but just as he finished speaking, Jian Fang mentioned it, and saw the two people not far away looked at each other after hearing it, and couldn't help laughing:

"I just guessed it randomly. I didn't expect it to be Tan Tai Yao's disciple."

"Hahaha, kid, do you think there is a possibility?"

"Among the two of us, we only know one named Tan Tai."

Wow!

In an instant,
The undisguised aura emanated from the two disciples wearing sword-playing robes, causing Tan Taiye to pause and look startled:
"and many more."

"This is."

He thought of a possibility, and the sword in his hand suddenly trembled.

But this is the heartland of Qin Jiange, how could such a thing be allowed to come in so easily?

Tan Tai Ye, who had never seen such a scene, was a little panicked.

But at this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder, forcibly steadying his sword.

"demon."

Tan Taiye looked back.

But what he saw was the young man who was originally sitting steadily in the pool, practicing the Golden Gate Locking Jade Technique and circulating Qi in his body.

He didn't know when, but she put on a black robe, came to his side, and put her hand on his shoulder.

At this time, Song Chaixin looked at the two figures with a calm expression.

Then, he raised his head slightly, looking at the dark clouds looming in the sky, as if he was affected by some kind of "magic power". He frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak:
"You two."

"Is he a subordinate of the Xuanqing Lake dragon Gu Hua?"

When these words came out, the two of them were stunned, and suddenly they became interested:
"You can actually guess it?"

“But now in Wutong Mansion, the Xuanqing Lake lineage has long been eliminated, so there is no point in mentioning it again.”

"Master Gu Hua is a true dragon who has entered the third stage of cultivation. He was born in the 'Jinghe Dragon Court'. This time, he was instructed by the one who came down from the Great Snow Mountain. His injuries have healed and he has now come to the Qinjian Pavilion."

"Not for anything else, just to avenge the heavy blow in Xuanqing Lake a year ago!"

"Qinjian Pavilion is just the first stop."

"The Xie family of Wutong Mansion, the defender of Xuanqing Town, and Yunluan Mountain"

"No one can escape!"

Qinjiange, front mountain.

On Guanjianping.

The bodies of about twenty to thirty Qinjian Pavilion disciples were lying on the ground with their skin torn and flesh exposed, lifeless.

The rest, some holding zithers and some holding swords, gathered together in a circle, staring intently at the majestic figure that was slowly walking towards them with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

That man was a prominent figure, and the dark golden dragon embroidered on his robe looked lifelike. With a casual palm or punch, he could kill a warrior.

Even three elders of the Great Innate had died in his hands.

Shangguan Cheng was holding a guqin, with both pinkies broken and three of the seven strings broken. He leaned against the innermost pillar with a pale face:

"Jiaolong, Wutong Mansion in Aquarius Province is inside the 'circle' drawn by the Great Wall of Suppressing Monsters, not outside!"

"Here, Da Zhao is very powerful. You demons haven't even stepped into the Daotong level. You dare to destroy my Qinjian Pavilion. Do you really think that the Demon Hunting Division in Wutong Mansion and the masters of the third realm can do anything?"

Gu Hua glanced at him nonchalantly, and seeing the elegant old Pavilion Master's hair standing on end with rage, he could not help but sneer:
"The Great Wall to Suppress Demons." "Ever since the great demon master who was known as 'the eternal star that never falls, truly invincible in the world', each generation has been inferior to the previous one."

"By now, it has already become a sieve."

"Perhaps the martial arts world in other states is better, but Aquarius State..."

"Perhaps I know better than you whether those people from Wutong Mansion will come or not, and how fast they will come."

"Old man, why don't you listen to me and hand over the 'Bloody Red Heart Diagram' to me so that I can comprehend it. When I feel better, I will only kill Tan Tai Yao and let the rest of you live on. How do you think?"

"Don't be optimistic. The Yuan Dan field has been expanded. I know everything that happens on this mountain. Don't even think about sneaking the treasure map away. I have already called two Great Innates to go get the map."

With his hands behind his back, he began the 'cat and mouse' game.

Gu Hua looked disdainfully at the man in the crowd, whose sword was broken, whose zither was destroyed, whose clothes were mostly stained with blood, and whose arm was even broken, and who was only barely supported by a woman in yellow. He said:

"You are a 'Great Innate'. Even if you are close to the third step, the gap between you and me is still as huge as the chasm between heaven and earth."

"This woman, is she someone close to you?"

"He's good looking, and his legs are OK."

"It's just like I could snatch the most important person from you back then."

“Today, I can do the same again.”

"In fact, I will even kill you this time."

"This is the price you and the two second-step ants who guarded the third-step city, Wutong Mansion, and Yunluan Mountain have to pay."

He finished his words lightly, raised his head, and was about to crush Tan Tai Yao to death with one finger, and then captured Xu Nian who was supporting him with one hand.

Even though Tan Tai Yao was so angry that he almost vomited blood three feet high, there was nothing he could do.

"you dare!"

But what can we do?

This is spiritual practice!
I am one step ahead of you, and even if I am much older than you, what does it matter?
Killing you is just a nod!

Facing the sudden malice, Xu Nian's brows turned pale, and his eyes suddenly showed determination:
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will be one step ahead of him and commit suicide here."

"Tan Tai Yao, you are seven years older than me. Although we are of the same generation, when you grew up, I still resolutely became your disciple, even though many people opposed it. Do you know why?"

"I've actually wanted to say for a long time that in terms of background and talent, I can't compare to Xie Wei,"

"But in other aspects, I am no worse than her."

"For example, the awareness of living and dying together."

Tan Tai Yao is thirty-seven years old this year, and Xu Nian is thirty years old.

When he was young and in his prime, he and Xie Wei had a secret crush on each other fifteen years ago.
Xu Nian was just an ordinary disciple who had just started, and could only watch silently.

In terms of guqin and swordplay, he was the best in the sect.

How gentle he was when he was young.

Everyone is overly eager for the elusive moonlight, hoping to get closer to it.

After all, if you really like someone, you will give everything for him/her.

So Xu Nian gambled every chance she had and got closer again and again, but knowing that she could not compare to Xie Wei, she took a roundabout way to save the country and became his disciple.

Beside him, he gradually turned into a shadow, serving him tea and water and teaching his disciples.

She watched Tan Tai Yao feel sad for Xie Wei time and time again over the years.

Especially in the past year, holding the jade pendant obtained from Xuanqing Lake, he often looked at the moon and sighed.

At that time, she knew that she would never be able to enter his heart in this lifetime, let alone express her feelings.

But so what.

The fairest thing in the world is that I can like you and no one can stop me.

But this is also the most unfair thing.

Because there is no such thing as liking one person and that other person must like you.

Fortunately,

Before I died, I was finally able to speak out what I had been holding in my heart for more than ten years.

"you"

Knowing that he was about to die, Tan Tai Yao felt very unwilling and had a strong sense of guilt towards Xu Nian. When he heard this,
Suddenly I was stunned.

"Ok?"

At this time, there was another person who was also stunned. He was the Dragon Lord Gu Hua who had taken action.

However, the reason why he paused was not because of the love between the two, but because
Under the cover of his 'Yuan Dan' domain, Gu Hua looked towards the direction of the 'Bi Xue Dan Xin' pool and suddenly frowned.

Just now, he clearly felt that

over there,
The aura of the two 'great innates' he sent away.
Disappeared.

"Humph!"

After thinking it over again and again, Gu Hua temporarily stopped attacking Qinjiang Pavilion and took action against the remaining people.

Because in his eyes, treasures that can provide 'authentic' energy are obviously more important!
Xuanqing Lake has been destroyed.
He needs to build another one.
A superior force!

In addition, he also needs to absorb energy and consume edible substances for his daily practice, so the incomplete map of 'Blood and Loyalty' must not be lost!

He must do this before someone from Wutong Mansion arrives.
Solve it all.
