I picked up the scattered attributes

"So...so?"

“So I’m at ease now.” Feng Xia waved his hand, as if to leave. “Well then, Fellow Daoist Guangling, Xia Beihai has troubled you today. We’ll meet again someday.”

"..." Guangling Sanren.

So, what exactly is this guy here for?

As Feng Xia's figure was about to disappear, the old man's withered Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he finally managed to utter a few words: "Fellow Daoist... wait a moment..."

"Oh, I'm waiting."

I don’t know when.

Feng Xia stood with his hands behind his back under the withered tree, looking relaxed, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and a warm smile on his face, as if he had never left.

“You…” Guangling Sanren’s pupils suddenly contracted.

too fast!

He had clearly seen Feng Xia leave, but when she returned and how she appeared beside him was something he, with his near-divine cultivation, could not see at all!

"Fellow Daoist seems to have a lot to say."

Feng Xia glanced at the withered old tree again.

The tree trunk is winding and twisting, with branches hanging down, looking from a distance like an old man with a bent back.

However, judging from the Daoist aura remaining on the tree trunk, this withered tree was most likely an extraordinary treasure in its lifetime, and there's even a slight possibility that...

Feng Xia's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Guangling, could this be the Hun Tian Fruit Tree?"

Guangling Sanren did not answer, but only gave a bitter smile.

"I see."

With a soft "oh," Feng Xia got the answer she wanted.

"I was thinking that he was already nearing the end of his life, and his life was hanging by a thread. But the old master of Guangling Pavilion, after obtaining the Hun Tian Fruit, deliberately delayed taking it for several years, which caused a lot of trouble. What was the point?"

"Guanglingxuan is facing internal and external troubles. Logically speaking, the most important thing is to take the Hun Tian Guo immediately to restore youth, ascend to the divine realm, and suppress everything with absolute power."

"But that old master of the sect didn't."

He paced slowly, a hint of realization in his voice.

Unconsciously, his gaze settled on the old man's face: "However, after seeing you and the withered tree, I finally understood the key point - from the beginning, what you found was a withered Hun Tian Fruit Tree."

Finding the Hun Tian Fruit Tree was undoubtedly a huge surprise, but then you discovered that the tree was completely dead and there was no way to revive it.

“I…” Guangling Sanren was stunned, then gave a bitter smile, “Alas, alas… it’s all in the past…”

The ecstasy and despair of that time were mixed together, and after fermenting year after year, they eventually turned into bitterness, into a desperate struggle in the face of adversity!

"At that time, your physical condition was so poor that you could no longer search for other treasures. On the contrary, Guangling Pavilion was beset by internal and external troubles. Seeing that the foundation you had built was about to be completely destroyed, you finally had a crazy idea."

"Fortunately, this life is already almost over. If I can take even one more person down to the Yellow Springs with me, it will be a gain for you, fellow Daoist."

"And so, this secret land came into being, these killing formations came into being, the news of the Hun Tian Fruit spread, and a group of traitors and black hands that came along."

From the very beginning, the Hun Tian Guo was a false rumor spread by Guangling Sanren.

He knew that those traitors and behind-the-scenes manipulators would definitely not sit still and would try every means to come to his door, not only to prevent him from becoming a god and extending his lifespan, but also to take this divine fruit for themselves!

As soon as those people arrive, the killing formation here will be fully activated, burying them all here and eliminating the biggest hidden danger for Guanglingxuan!

"That's... quite right..."

Beneath the withered tree, the old man shook his head tremblingly: "But what...what use is it..."

He met Feng Xia's gaze, his cloudy old eyes gleaming, and stared at Feng Xia, the bitterness on his lips growing stronger.

After a long while, the old man shook his head with difficulty:

"I didn't get to see those slaughtered bastards... but I did get to see you, my fellow Daoist... What a pity... I can't wait any longer..."

He realized that Feng Xia wasn't one of the masterminds behind the scenes; at most, he was just an outsider who knew the inside story. Otherwise, how could he be so calm now if he knew that the Hun Tian Fruit was a fake news?

The only thing that Guangling Sanren regretted was that his time was really running out.

But those sinister forces and traitors still haven't arrived.

"This scene seems so familiar... Have I encountered it more than once before...?"

Looking at Guangling Sanren, who seemed hesitant to speak, Feng Xia's gaze was somewhat strange.

Oh, next up should be the story of being entrusted with a critical mission and turning the tide. This kind of thing is all too familiar to me, Feng!

The old man, panting heavily, stammered out a sentence:

"In that case, let's just forget about it..."

“?!” Feng Xia’s lips twitched.

Wait a minute, this isn't what we agreed on!

……

Chapter 0826

If Guangling Sanren wanted to entrust Guanglingxuan to him, Feng Xia wouldn't necessarily hesitate to consider it, provided he could offer a price that would tempt him.

Conversely, there are countless forces of all sizes in the world, and several of them may collapse every day. The number is so large that it is impossible to count them all.

If he had to manage each individual case individually, he would probably have been exhausted long ago.

Only the Thousand Autumns Valley held special significance for Feng Xia, and the former sect leader Ji Qixi had been kind to him, which is why he chose to stay and take over the position of sect leader, and developed it into what it is today.

Guangling Pavilion doesn't exist.

It was just that the scene in front of him was so familiar that Feng Xia had a strong sense of déjà vu at this moment.

He was even prepared to hear those entrusted words again.

result--

Guangling Sanren thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget about it."

...Dude, isn't your reaction a little off?

You've been planning and preparing for so long, all to eliminate a group of traitors and villains, so as to create more space for Guanglingxuan to survive.

How did I suddenly have an epiphany?!

Dude, are you acting like I'm a character?

In an instant, Feng Xia's throat was filled with countless old saliva.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really not going to... try to save him again?"

He stared intently at Guangling Sanren.

Guanglingxuan is not a newly established force; it has been developing for two thousand years and is so large that it is spread to every corner of the Southern Star Region!

Giving up now is not an easy thing to do.

"rescue?"

Guangling Sanren's cloudy old eyes darted around, his expression showing some weariness and dejection: "I did want to try to save him again, but unfortunately, all my life's efforts have only resulted in betrayal."

Feng Xia didn't say much.

He may never be able to truly empathize with someone in this situation.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Guangling Sanren trained five disciples, three of whom died unexpectedly. Adding the three confidants he trained over the years, there were only five people who could be considered his confidants at most.

Of these five people, more than one was a traitor!

One can imagine how angry and sad the old man was!

“Cultivation can advance further, and lifespan can be extended a bit, but the emotions and will that were poured into it can never be brought back…”

Perhaps it was because of Feng Xia, but when facing an outsider who did not belong to Guanglingxuan or the Hundred Sects Alliance, the old man seemed to have a more spirited look and his speech became much clearer.

He recounted the past in a rambling manner, reminiscing about what once was.

From his words, Feng Xia saw another Guangling Sanren, one that the world had never seen before, a Guangling Sanren who once belonged only to him.

He is Li Sizhu, the Diabolo Taoist Li Sizhu.

The title "Guangling Sanren" came about later.

However, as time went by, people only remembered the name Guangling and gradually forgot his real name.

"You might not believe it, but I had very poor talent when I was young. Many people said that my greatest achievement in my life was only the Yuan Dan realm."

"Later, when I was twenty-four, I met a mysterious person."

He told me, "You're practicing it wrong."

"Your spatial divine wheel isn't cultivated this way."

Feng Xia's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

Divine Wheel!

As far as he could remember, he hadn't heard that name in a long time.

The Opening Wheel Realm, which opens up the Divine Wheel Secret Realm, is the first realm in the existing supernatural power system.
