After revealing his true form, Yan Nantian deliberately looked in my direction with a faint smile on his face.
His expression was amiable and his smile was pure and kind, but in my eyes, his smile was no different from that of an evil spirit.
Back in the Corpse Sect, he had deceived me with his pure and kind appearance. If it wasn't for the fact that I had the True Dragon's vein and threatened him to lure the people of the Corpse Sect, not to mention my life, even my soul wouldn't have survived.
What was even more frightening was that he wanted to occupy my body and continue living under my name and identity. That was the most frightening thing. Every time I thought about it, I shuddered.
Up until now, I still remembered the look of him gnashing his teeth as he left, as well as his malicious words.
I had once fantasized that Professor Liang was Nangong, so even when I was besieged by Chen Yangting and Han Wennan, I still had some hope in my heart. But now, I was in complete despair.
The spacious cave was filled with enemies. With my strength, even with the help of Monk Miao Jue, it would be an extravagant hope for me to escape.
I sat down dejectedly and no longer paid attention to the situation of Professor Liang and the Han family's Celestial Master. I smiled wryly and said to Monk Miao Jue, "Thank you for your help, but it's a pity that I'm unlucky. Professor Liang is my former enemy. Today, I won't be able to keep my life. I've caused trouble for Master."
I didn't know if it was because the people of the Buddhist sect had good self-cultivation skills, but Monk Miao Jue didn't show any signs of panic. He still chanted the name of Buddha and said with a smile, "Buddha has a past, present, and future. To Buddha, witchcraft energy is just Buddhist power. If Benefactor Zhou is free in the future, why don't you pay a visit to the Reclining Buddha Temple? I'll welcome you with open arms."
His words seemed to contain Buddhist principles. I could only roughly understand that he didn't have any hostility towards me, so it wasn't a good time to ask. I shook my head. "Thank you for your kind intentions, but it's a pity that the two Celestial Masters won't let me leave today. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple.
But Master, you have to hurry and leave before the two Celestial Masters decide the winner. "
Monk Miao Jue didn't panic. He clasped his palms together and bowed to me. Then, he said with a faint smile, "Benefactor Zhou, you are blessed by the heavens. These tribulations aren't necessarily disasters. I believe that I will be able to reunite with benefactor at the Reclining Buddha Temple in the future. Goodbye!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Nantian and the Han Family Celestial Master before walking out of the cave unhurriedly.
Just as I had guessed, Yan Nantian and the Han family's Heavenly Master didn't care about his departure. They only paid attention to each other.
I looked over and thought that after Yan Nantian revealed his Yang Spirit body, there would be a fierce battle. However, after a short stalemate, the Han family's Heavenly Master suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Han Wennan's small ball. He retreated to Han Wennan's side and said loudly, "Since you have a Yang Spirit cultivation base, you must not be a nobody. The Han family admits defeat today and is willing to give you this True Dragon Vein. However, I hope that you can state your identity so that I can explain myself when I return."
Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit shadow chuckled and said, "Well … there's no harm in telling you. I am … Hmm, an elder of the Celestial Master Sect's Bo generation. The True Dragon Vein was first discovered by the Celestial Master Sect. It was unreasonable for the Han family to fight for it. It's naive of you to think that you can escape unscathed."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from where he was. The next second, he appeared in front of the Han family's Heavenly Master. He spat out a blue flame toward the Han family's Heavenly Master Sect's face.
The Celestial Master of the Han family's expression changed drastically in the face of this inconspicuous little flame. He let out a roar and spat out a stream of blood filled with dense Qi of the Way. After it wrapped around the orchid flame, he did not even dare to look at it. He grabbed Han Wennan, turned into a stream of light, and rushed out of the cave.
Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit had no intention of chasing after them. After watching them leave, he turned his head with a smile and looked at Chen Yangting.
At this moment, only the three of them were left in the cave. Chen Yangting had been seriously injured by Miaojue just now. At this moment, when he saw Yan Nantian looking at him, he hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands in salute, and asked respectfully, "Senior, are you really the Grandmaster of Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Yan Nantian didn't answer. He smiled faintly at him, turned his head, and walked back to Professor Liang's corpse. After looking at it for a long time with regret, he turned his head and asked Chen Yangting, who had a perturbed expression, "Do you think I am?"
Chen Yangting stammered, "Senior, you definitely won't lie to me. Just now, you said you are, so you must be …"
"Haha …" Yan Nantian laughed again and said unhurriedly, "You're wrong. Just now, I used the name of Dragon Tiger Mountain to make the Han family worry. I have nothing to do with Dragon Tiger Mountain."
Chen Yangting's face suddenly changed. He wasn't stupid. At this moment, the Han family's Celestial Master had left, and Yan Nantian was the master of this cave. If Yan Nantian was an Elder of Dragon Tiger Mountain, his life would be safe. But if he wasn't, Yan Nantian had enough reasons to kill him, whether it was because of the True Dragon Vein or because of me.
Just as Chen Yangting's face changed, Yan Nantian suddenly bent down and searched Professor Liang's corpse. He took out a thumb-sized black pill and threw it to Chen Yangting. Then, he said faintly, "Kid, your aptitude isn't bad. Swallow this pill and stay with me. Although my cultivation isn't as good as Celestial Master Zhang's, I'm in the Yang Spirit Realm. It won't be an insult to you to accept you as my disciple."
Chen Yangting subconsciously grabbed the pill, his face pale. He hesitated for a while, but when he looked up, he seemed to see Yan Nantian's unhappy face. He didn't dare to think anymore and swallowed the pill.
Yan Nantian smiled again and waved his hand, asking him to follow behind him. Then, he walked toward me.
"We meet again." Yan Nantian stopped in front of me and looked at me condescendingly.
At this moment, I had already realized that I was going to die, so I wasn't scared. I just nodded. "Yes, we meet again.
The last time I saw you, you couldn't even deal with me when I was in the Acupoint Sealing Realm. In the end, you had to run away from the Yin Corpse Sect. Now, you're strong enough to defeat the Han family's Celestial Master. Brother Yan, it seems you've been doing well recently. "
"Yeah."
Yan Nantian nodded. He still had that fake smile on his face. He wasn't angry at my words and just casually said, "Brother Zhou, you haven't been doing well recently. During the time we parted, I didn't ask much about you, but I heard that you were a remnant of the Wu tribe. You were attacked by the ten Celestial Masters of the Metaphysics Society. It wasn't easy for you to escape. In the end, the entire Metaphysics Society issued an order to kill you … You're really pitiful."
I coldly snorted and didn't say anything else.
Yan Nantian seemed to be in the mood to talk. He shook his head and said, "I don't know if Brother Zhou still remembers, but the last time we parted, you told me to pray that the next time I meet you, you haven't reached the Celestial Master realm. To tell you the truth, I've been praying for half a year. No wonder there's the phrase 'if you're sincere, you'll get results'. This time, when I meet you, you really haven't reached the Celestial Master realm."
Even though I had already disregarded life and death, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart when I heard his words. When he was forced to leave, he was extremely angry and ferocious. He said, "The next time we meet, not only will I swallow your soul and Yang Spirit, but I will also swallow your flesh and blood bit by bit." At this moment, he deliberately brought up the conversation at that time. Obviously, he wanted to remind me of his malicious words.
I subconsciously raised my head to look at him and couldn't help but shiver. Yan Nantian was an old monster that had been imprisoned in the Corpse Sect's Soul Devouring Cave for ten years. His mind must be extremely perverted. Were his words really just a threat?
I remained silent and didn't say anything. Yan Nantian suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch my face. He then pinched my arm a few times and said with a satisfied expression, "It's been half a year since I escaped from the Corpse Sect. During this time, I've been looking for a physical body. However, after observing so many so-called young geniuses, in terms of talent, you're still the most suitable for me …"
