Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

As he spoke, he turned sideways, and the murderous intent that burst out in an instant caused the tides around Penglai Island to stagnate for a few breaths.

For a moment, Tao Rusu only wanted to quickly pull Minami Shiori and Amamiya Mahiru away from here, but he soon felt that this terrifying hostility was directed towards the sky higher up.

The dispersal of clouds and mist when the Cangtian Well was opened also brought about a variable, which was that it completely disrupted the sea fog and clouds around Penglai Island. As a result, the formation that maintained Penglai Island lost most of its effectiveness, its concealment effect disappeared, and the maze that prevented outsiders from entering was no longer effective.

Then, a red meteor will streak across half of the summer night sky.

An armored knight with flames burning in it fell from the sky, and the whistling flames seemed to set the sea on fire.

Sixty-six seconds after the Zangtian Well was opened, Bai Yu finally arrived at the battlefield.

……

Hidden inside the patio.

Tai Sui and Ba Zhe had almost no obstacles in entering here.

They thought it would be a huge scene, but the result was different from what they expected.

This is an island suspended in the sky, frozen in a patch of light.

The island is empty, the mountains are steep, and there is only one way to go forward.

At the end of this road, you can see a throne.

Sitting on the throne was an old man with a white beard mopping the ground. The old man was dressed very simply, as was often seen in ancient ascetics. He also had ornaments made of wild animal fangs and bones that were only available in tribal times.

At the same time, a pitch-black heavy sword shaped like a rock pierced through his body from the front, pierced into his abdomen, and nailed him to the throne.

The old man's wounds had long since rotted and festered, but blood was still flowing continuously, flowing along the wounds and seeping into the cracks in the throne bit by bit.

The cracks had also changed color over an unknown period of time. The originally dark yellow throne had gradually turned brown from the cracks.

The old man said nothing, and even when he saw the person coming, he just sat on the throne.

"He is the owner of Penglai Island."

"You know him?"

Tai Sui's remaining eyeballs stared at the motionless throne and the old man: "This is the third time I have seen it... The first time was in the eyes of the Demon Ancestor, the second time was when he turned the stars, this is the third time..."

"Turning the stars?"

"Eight hundred years ago, the stars in the sky shook. In order to prevent the destruction of Shenzhou, he turned the stars to extend the life of Shenzhou. He was fatally injured that time and could never leave the throne again. That's when Penglai Academy was established." Tai Sui sighed, "As the last witch in Shenzhou, he eventually perished here."

"Is he from the Wu clan, a congenital creature?" The Tyrant looked over fiercely: "No wonder, no wonder..."

Tai Sui motioned for Tyrant to look at the dark heavy sword: "The owner of that sword is the murderer who killed him, but no one knows who it is yet."

"The master of Penglai Island is dead?"

"He died a long time ago." Tai Sui said calmly, "But he is not completely dead yet. The will of the Lord of the Throne lives on. He did not enter the reincarnation cycle in order to wait for a successor here. The purpose of establishing Penglai Academy is also for this."

"What you have to do is to send him away completely, so that the throne can be cleared."

Tyrant asked: "Then what, he found it?"

"I found it, but it doesn't make sense."

"Who is it?" the Tyrant asked, and began to make some inferences in his mind.

"What's the point of asking this? The other party will never appear here anyway." Tai Sui shook his head and commanded: "Go and pull out the Tianxing Meteorite Sword. Although your body is weak, you also have the blood of a witch, so don't waste time, or something bad will happen!"

Zhen Shifang paused for a few seconds, adjusted his mentality and walked towards the throne.

There was no pressure or aura, and it looked like the master of Penglai Island was really in trouble.

Just at this moment, a noisy sound suddenly rang out.

"Damn it, you are playing dirty tricks on me! Not only is the shit poisonous, but there is also a dog hidden behind the door! How insidious!"

"Stop talking, I'm sick."

"Old monk, please say something."

"I don't want to curse or tell lies..."

"Hey, there's light ahead, are we out yet?"

"Amitabha, thank you for the Buddha's blessing."

"Why don't you thank me?"

"Thank you and your family."

Another completely different path opened up, and a strange group of three people covered in dust and smell opened the hidden wall and crawled out of the tunnel, like sewer workers who had just finished cleaning.

Then he noticed that there seemed to be someone else here.

A few glances at each other.

Then Zhen Shifang's eyes and expressions became vivid and lively.

Tai Sui's expression became exaggerated and outraged, and the eyeballs that had just been installed suddenly bulged out, like a pretentious guy who had just made a big promise and then got slapped in the face.

"It's you! Zhen Shifang, you bastard!"

"It's you! Bai Potian, you old bastard!"

Every meeting in the world is a reunion after a long separation.

Chapter 880: Inside and outside the courtyard, family hatred and national hatred

The two groups met unexpectedly in front of the Penglai throne.

This really can't be considered a coincidence, but the probability of it happening is not 100% certain.

There is an element of fate, but also human calculation.

No matter which party was present, the moment they saw each other, the situation that was originally confident and sure to win became full of ups and downs.

If this were a stage play, then the scene happening in front of the throne would undoubtedly be the climax prelude before the curtain falls.

Bai Potian and Zhen Shifang knew each other and had had conflicts many years ago.

If Bai Potian was alone, the Tyrant would not be panicked, but the problem was... Bai Potian had two helpers behind him. Although they were covered in a strange smell, that smell could not conceal the aura that was unique to the saint level.

The tyrant's face was as gloomy as water.

He was chased and beaten by three canonized saints outside the Cangtianjing. He finally escaped and distanced himself from them. Less than a minute had passed. Just as he arrived in front of the throne, Bai Potian suddenly appeared with a rival saint.

Damn it...Did I disturb the den of canonization today?

Since when did canonization become so worthless? After you defeat one group, another group pops up?

Hey!

Zhen Shifang had already started to curse in his heart, but he had to maintain a calm and stable attitude on the surface.

The other side had three canonized saints in total, but they didn’t seem to be in very good shape and had gone through many tough battles before.

Similarly, the situation here is not good either.

The Tyrant is still basically intact in the fight, but Tai Sui's fighting power seems to be almost gone... This may also be an act he is pretending to be. No one can guess what cards this old monster who has lived for a thousand years has hidden.

If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to have a conflict with Bai Potian and was thinking about how to get them to leave.

"No mistake, this is the throne..." Augustus spoke in Roman. He was a little excited and said, "We have found the throne of the Lord of Penglai Island!"

The old monk looked at the decaying corpse on the throne and said, "Is the one on the throne the master of Penglai Island? That's just a lifeless corpse."

"It looks like he has been dead for many years." Bai Potian pondered, "He specifically called us here, it seems that this is the limit. No wonder he has not shown up or revealed any information for such a long time. So this is the case."

Augustus thought about getting closer to the throne to take a look, but he was stopped just before he took half a step forward.

"Stop!" the Tyrant shouted, "If you approach rashly, it will be regarded as a signal to start a war!"

The Roman emperor frowned unhappily after being scolded: "Who are they?"

"The Ten Evils of Daxia." Bai Potian said, "They rank higher than me."

"So he's better than you?"

"He is more cruel than me... There is a saying in Daxia that the third-class merit is received standing, the second-class merit is received lying down, and the first-class merit is received by family members." Bai Potian teased: "I am at most a walking second-class merit, and he is a special-class merit... What do you think, do you want to consider killing him? Daxia will give you the International Honorary Friend Medal."

Augustus said calmly: "I am a scholar and I don't like fighting. The emperor is the owner of the empire, so why would he care about any medals of honor? I usually give them to others."

"But it looks like these two people have bad intentions. They don't seem to be planning to do research for you here." Bai Potian stared at the Tyrant: "So what are you doing here? The Penglai Throne is not a place where just any cat or dog can get in."

"You are quite self-aware." Zhen Shifang sneered as he stood in front of the throne.

"Don't tell me you're coveting the throne." Bai Potian touched his chin and said, "Even if the Penglai Island Master has been dead for a long time, it won't be difficult for him to take you away before he leaves."

"I'm not interested in the throne." Zhen Shifang glanced at the corpse on the throne and said half-truthfully, "But the owner of Penglai Island is the last witch in the world... His bloodline is useful to me, so I came here."

"You have a really strong taste for being interested in corpses." Bai Potian vomited.

"No comparison with you... your habit of butterfly stroke in a cesspool is not commendable." Zhen Shifang pinched his nose.

The two started quarreling again after a few words.

The ascetic monk said in surprise: "So, they came in through the main gate? But this is impossible. The Penglai throne is located in the Cangtianjing, and there must be someone guarding the throne of the Penglai Island Lord. With their strength, it is impossible for them to break in so easily."

Augustus said, "But Scathach has no retainers to guard the throne."

"The situation is different." The ascetic monk said, "The Shadow Kingdom where Scathach is located has seven walls, which isolates the outside world... No one can enter the Shadow Kingdom without her consent. It is impregnable, and she herself is the guardian of the throne, so naturally she does not need followers, but the situation here is different."

Bai Potian asked directly: "Don't beat around the bush, monk, what do you want to say?"

"There must be big changes outside!" the ascetic monk said concisely.

"Oh..." Bai Potian responded and then shouted to Zhen Shifang: "Ba Zhe, you must have been beaten a lot outside, right? Tell us about your unhappiness and let everyone laugh."

"I think you ate too much shit, which caused the blood vessels in your brain to be blocked." The Tyrant immediately said in an elegant and easy-going manner.

Tai Sui, who was listening, rolled his eyes and then shrank back into his eye sockets. He frowned and thought of a plan. He took the initiative to speak: "You know a lot... but it seems that you also arrived here by chance?"

"Who are you, little cookie?" Bai Potian crossed his arms.

Tai Sui revealed his identity: "I am the King of Xiling."

Bai Potian had heard of him before and frowned, "How did the Ten Strongest get mixed up with the Ten Evils?"

Tai Sui smiled in his heart, as expected, these three people had encountered some unexpected events. Bai Potian was completely unaware of everything that had happened in Da Xia. He knew that King Xiling had become evil and turned to evil, so this could be used.

"There are so many variables in Penglai that we have no choice but to cooperate temporarily." Tai Sui said: "There are no eternal enemies, only common interests."

"What is your common demand? He wanted to do something bad to the corpse of the owner of Penglai Island. Are you also a fan of the Death Museum in this regard?" Bai Potian grinned.

"If I say that I want to sit on the throne, would you believe me?" Tai Sui said bluntly, "I want to ask for the Tao to be transformed into the kingly way."

This is of course a lie.

Once you become the king, you cannot stray too far from the throne. You become the master of Penglai Island and also the prisoner of Penglai Island.

If Tai Sui does this, Demon Ancestor will never be revived in this life. His heart will run away from home and settle down somewhere else. How can Demon Ancestor revive a market?

But Bai Potian and the other three were not aware of this, so this answer was indeed very convincing.

"You actually agreed to it?" Bai Potian glanced at Zhen Shifang and felt a little suspicious.

"I don't intend to give up my freedom." The Tyrant cooperated with a look of disdain: "Besides, as long as I get the blood of the witch clan, once I have achieved the perfect innate blood of a living being, why should I be bound by a mere throne?"

Augustus stroked his chin and said, "That does make sense."

Tai Sui struck while the iron was hot: "It took me a lot of effort to get here. Since you all also arrived here by chance, can you please not fight with me for the throne of Penglai?"

Bai Potian touched his chin and didn't answer.

It would be a lie for him to tell the throne that he had no thoughts, but he hadn't found his son and didn't know the situation of his grandson, so being trapped on Penglai Island was not his original intention.

The same is true for the contemporary Augustus. Besides, he is the Roman emperor. How could he be willing to be trapped on the Penglai Island in the East?

He is also a scholar who has done in-depth research in this area and is well aware of the huge risks he will face once he takes over the throne.

This is not some unseasonable fragrant fruit that can bring eternal life, but a gold mine that will bring endless disasters.

As for the ascetic monk, he was a true Zen meditator who practiced Mahayana Buddhism. His route was completely different from that of Longxiang Temple. Instead, he followed the example of Master Xuanzang of that time and traveled west to seek Buddha and obtain Buddhist scriptures. He subdued his mind and reined in his desires, and only achieved canonization after traveling thousands of miles on earth.

Such a Zen practitioner will never be greedy for the throne. Once he stops there, all his life's cultivation will be lost, because maintaining the kingly way and seeking the Zen way are diametrically opposed.

Therefore, none of the three of them had any need for the throne.

Augustus just wanted to study it; Bai Potian just wanted to get out; the old monk was on the path of seeking the truth.

Tai Sui was able to directly explain the pros and cons to three strangers, and there was also an element of luck in gambling, but he won the bet.
