The master went down the mountain

Lin Yuantu was a little confused at this moment!

As he closed his eyes in shock from the flashbang, he was suddenly pulled to the ground by a hand!

Yes!

underground!

When he opened his eyes, he saw himself being dragged through the ground by a masked man in black!

"Escape technique?"

Lin Yuantu was quite knowledgeable and immediately understood what was going on!

This really surprised him!

There are actually people in this world who have mastered the art of escape that has been lost for countless years!

He desperately wanted to ask the masked man in black who he was and why he had saved him, but he was underground and couldn't speak!

"arrive!"

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuantu, who was drowsy from excessive blood loss, was dragged to the ground by the masked man in black!

Lin Yuantu looked around in a daze; it seemed to be a Taoist temple!

He looked at the masked man in black and asked:

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

The masked man in black removed his mask and hood, took off his black clothes, revealing an old man with white hair, white beard, and white face, wearing a Taoist robe!

"Tianjizi?"

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Lin Yuantu exclaimed in surprise!

This person is none other than the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets!

"I didn't expect it would be me who saved you?"

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets quickly applied pressure to Lin Yuantu's acupoints to stop the bleeding, and asked with a smile.

"Tang Zhan wants to kill me, and you are Tang Zhan's master. You have no reason to save me!" Lin Yuantu asked in confusion.

"Everyone thinks I'm Tang Zhan's master, but that's not true. His cultivation level is all due to his own hard work. If I hadn't secretly watched the battle tonight, I wouldn't even have known that Tang Zhan's strength was so terrifying!"

The old monster Tianji said with an extremely solemn expression.

Lin Yuantu was confused: "Tang Zhan was only 7 years old 16 years ago. After you brought him to the nameless mountain, you didn't teach him cultivation?"

"I saved him for the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family, and for the battle runes. He pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything, so I left him to fend for himself on Wuming Mountain. In fact, he never trusted me from the beginning, so for the 16 years he spent on Wuming Mountain, he secretly cultivated and hid his strength."

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets sat down, boiled water to make tea, and said:

"Actually, when I brought him to Wuming Mountain, his cultivation level was already at least sixth rank. So, all the assassins who infiltrated Wuming Mountain to kill him over the years were dealt with by him. He even took care of many experts who came to seek revenge on me. Most of them were subdued by him and sent down the mountain to establish the Senluo Palace..."

Tianji Laoguai did not hide anything and told Lin Yuantu everything that Tang Zhan had done during his 16 years on Wuming Mountain!

Lin Yuantu was completely dumbfounded!

A 7-year-old child not only survived without any help, but also cultivated himself to his current level!

Moreover, the infamous Senluo Palace was actually founded by Tang Zhan!

"So you overheard my conversation with Tang Zhan, knew that the Lin family was a branch of the Tang family, and knew that I had battle markings, which is why you risked your life to save me?"

Lin Yuantu wasn't stupid; he had already guessed why the Old Monster Tianji had saved him!

"Teach me all the Tang family's techniques and martial arts you know, and hand over the methods for inscribing and activating battle runes, and I'll guarantee your survival!" said the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets.

Lin Yuantu gave a bitter smile: "The Lin family is finished, I'm useless. Do you think I still have the will to live?"

"As far as I know, spiritual energy is about to recover. When that time comes, as long as you cultivate to the second rank, you will be able to regenerate your severed limbs!" said the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets.

Lin Yuantu was shocked: "Who told you that spiritual energy is about to revive?"

"Never mind that. Actually, the spiritual energy at the summit of Zijin Mountain briefly revived 20 years ago, but it disappeared quickly. However, I was lucky enough to cultivate there for 3 days and benefited greatly!" Tianji Laoguai said with a smile.

Lin Yuantu's despair was finally rekindled with hope, and with a burning desire for revenge!

Once the spiritual energy recovers, he is confident that he can cultivate to the second rank. After his severed limbs regenerate, he can kill Tang Zhan and take revenge!

"I can write down all the Tang family techniques and martial arts I know from memory for you, but I don't know how to inscribe and activate battle runes. Even within the entire Tang family, only the heads of the family throughout the generations know how to inscribe and activate battle runes!" Lin Yuantu said.

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets was greatly disappointed, then tossed Lin Yuantu a notebook and a pen, saying:

"Write it down, and then I'll take you to the hospital for a blood transfusion. You've lost too much blood!"

"good!"

Lin Yuantu immediately endured the excruciating pain and lay on the ground to write from memory!

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the door of the Taoist temple was kicked open from the outside!

Immediately afterward, Tang Zhan, wearing only a pair of shorts, walked in with a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, his face cold!

"this……"

Lin Yuantu was horrified!

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets remained remarkably calm, though a hint of surprise still lingered on his face as he asked:

How did you know I was here?

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone you. I knew long ago that Nameless Mountain was just one of your hideouts. You have two more hideouts in Jinling City, and this is just one of them. I originally just came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to actually be here!"

Tang Zhan sat down opposite Tianji Laoguai, poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it all in one gulp!

"Sixteen years have passed, have you finally decided to confront me?" the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets asked.

"You're overthinking it!"

Tang Zhan shook his head and said:

"Although I've been wary of you all these years, I've never hated you. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to you. Even if you hadn't taken me to Wuming Mountain 16 years ago, I wouldn't have died. But staying on Wuming Mountain was safer than staying anywhere else. Moreover, Wuming Mountain was dark enough to give me enough time to cultivate and study all the cultivation techniques and martial arts you and the Tang family had collected, as well as to remotely direct the Senluo Hall to investigate the murderer who destroyed the Tang family."

"Furthermore, although you didn't teach me cultivation, you taught me many other things, such as medicine. Therefore, I acknowledge you as my benefactor and do not wish to be your enemy..."

At this point, Tang Zhan stared directly at the Old Monster Tianji with a blank expression, and said, word by word:

"Unless you choose to be my enemy!"

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets stared at Tang Zhan, as if judging whether Tang Zhan's words were true or false, and after a long while he spoke:

"I deeply regret not taking you as my disciple, and I deeply regret not teaching you cultivation all these years. How wonderful it would be if we were master and disciple now!"

"As I just said, you've taught me a lot, so although we don't have the title of master and disciple, we are in fact master and disciple!" Tang Zhan said.

"So will you stop Lin Yuantu from writing down the Tang family's martial arts techniques and skills for me?" Tianji Laoguai asked.

"The martial arts and cultivation techniques collected by the Tang family are no different from trash to me. If you are interested, I can give you the Nine Extremes Pagoda!" Tang Zhan said.

The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets frowned: "This isn't like you!"
