After hearing Yang Dingtian's words, Zhao Mu's expression changed. He asked coldly, "How do you know all this?
This is the top secret of the Horror Mountain Village. Other than the Village Head, no one else knows about it. How do you know all this? "
In an instant, Zhao Mu's eyes turned cold and severe. If Yang Dingtian were to say something wrong, he might immediately be killed.
Yang Dingtian took out a jade pendant. It was a black jade pendant with a monster carved on it. It vaguely looked like the Millennium Owl.
"Young Village Head, do you recognize this?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"You've seen my father?
Where is he? "Zhao Mu trembled.
"He's already dead," Yang Dingtian said.
Zhao Mu's body shook and he almost fainted.
"Impossible. My father's cultivation is close to the Master level. There are not many people in the world who can kill him," Zhao Mu said sternly. "Where did you see him?"
"Outside a cave eight thousand miles away."
Yang Dingtian said, "He found a fire there and wanted to melt the Bloody Black Gold into a sword. He was killed by the Heaven Fire Demonic Phoenix. When I met him, he only had half of his body left. He gave me the jade pendant and told you to leave the Horror Mountain Village immediately. During the Yin Yang Festival, the Millennium Owl will break free from the seal and completely destroy the entire Horror Mountain Village. He wanted you to live in a place where no one knows about it for the rest of your life."
Most of what Yang Dingtian said was true. There was a Fire Cloud Demonic Cave eight thousand miles away. There was a top-grade fire inside and a very powerful Heaven Fire Demonic Phoenix inside. This was what Dongfang Minmie told him. Back then, Dongfang Minmie wanted to go there to make a sword, but he found the Heaven Fire Demonic Phoenix inside. Therefore, he decisively left and went to find another fire.
"Father …" Zhao Mu cried sadly and knelt on the ground.
Zhao Wuji was a cruel and merciless person with a twisted personality.
However, he was an exception to his only son. Otherwise, he wouldn't have knelt in front of the Yin-Yang school for three days and three nights for Zhao Mu.
Everyone present was silent. Only Zhao Mu was kneeling on the ground, crying in pain. His crying was heart-wrenching and soul-wrenching.
After a full ten minutes, Zhao Mu raised his head. At this moment, it was as if he had changed into a different person. His attitude towards Yang Dingtian had also become gentle. He asked, "Was my father at peace in his final moments?"
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can't say it's peaceful. I'm a little unwilling, but I'm also relieved."
Zhao Mu cried bitterly again, "He spent his entire life cultivating the Sword Soul, but in the end, he died on it. The heavens are so unfair."
Then, Zhao Mu wiped his tears and asked, "Then … did you bury him?
So that he won't be bullied by wild beasts in the wild? "
At this moment, Zhao Mu even changed the way he addressed Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian's face revealed a trace of guilt as he said, "I'm sorry, young master. The situation was very dangerous at that time. The Heaven Fire Demonic Phoenix chased me all the way out, and the entire cave collapsed. I didn't even listen to your father's last words before escaping.
But don't worry, most of the Fire Cloud Demonic Cave has collapsed. Your father is buried inside and won't be bullied by wild beasts. "
Hearing this, Zhao Mu believed Yang Dingtian's words even more.
"No matter what, thank you." Zhao Mu stood up and bowed to Yang Dingtian.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Yang Dingtian said.
Then, Zhao Mu sighed softly and said, "Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore.
Just like what Mister said, this Millennium Owl is not a treasure to my Horror Mountain Village, but a disaster instead.
It's not a big deal for me to give it to you, but my Horror Mountain Village's previous Village Leaders have been helpless against it. Mister's cultivation is not high, so how will you subdue it? "
Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't know either.
However, I don't want to subdue it as a Martial Soul, but I need its Demonic Core. "
Zhao Mu was even more shocked and said, "Demonic Core?
But you want to kill this Millennium Owl?
Although its Demonic Core is precious, compared to the Millennium Owl itself, it's worthless. "
That's right, hunting the Millennium Owl for its Demonic Core was ten thousand times more exaggerated than buying the casket and returning the pearl.
The value of the Millennium Owl was at least ten thousand times higher than its Demonic Core.
"How would I not know?" Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly and said, "But I really do need its Demonic Core."
Zhao Mu said, "To be honest, although our ancestors sealed this Millennium Owl, it was at its weakest when it was at its weakest.
If you want to kill this Millennium Owl now, I think you'll need City Lord Ximen, the Qin Family's Patriarch, Sect Leader Dongfang, and other Great Grandmasters to work together to do it.
So, if you want our Horror Mountain Village to kill it and take its Demonic Core, we really can't do it. "
"I can't let others kill it. I have to do it myself," Yang Dingtian said.
"How is that possible?" Zhao Mu said, "Even if you're ten thousand times stronger, you can't kill this Millennium Owl.
What are you going to do? "
"I'll be honest with you, Young Master, I don't know."
Yang Dingtian said, "I can only wait for God's arrangement and risk my life. If God doesn't help me, I'll definitely die."
Zhao Mu was shocked and asked slowly, "Why are you doing this? Isn't this a path to death?"
"Other than this, I have no other choice."
Yang Dingtian said, "But don't worry. Even if I die, I'll cure the cold poison in your body before I die.
If I fail and die, please help me send the woman by my side home. "
"I won't leave," Ningning said gently.
Zhao Mu stared at Yang Dingtian. "I still don't understand. I'm thinking that if a mortal can live, they definitely don't want to die.
Sir, what you're doing is a path to death. Please be honest.
This Millennium Owl is already a disaster. I can give it up because all of us will leave Horror Mountain Village in two days. It's equivalent to giving up on this Millennium Owl completely.
But I hate lying the most. If you can't convince me, I won't agree. "
"Convince you what?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Convince me that you'd rather die to get this Millennium Owl's demon core," Zhao Mu said. Then, he stared at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian lowered his head and sighed. After thinking for a few minutes, he raised his head and said slowly, "My name is Yang Dingtian. Is this reason enough?"
Suddenly, Zhao Mu was stunned and shocked.
Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian worriedly. "Little Tian, why are you …"
Of course, Ningning was worried because it was very dangerous for Yang Dingtian to reveal his identity. This was the Northwest Qin family's territory. Although Yang Dingtian was very weak now, he was very valuable.
"Sir, you're Yang Dingtian, that trash and lunatic. The lunatic who wants to be the new Cloud Sky City Lord," Zhao Mu said.
"Is this reason enough?" Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly.
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "It's enough. Originally, I was already at the end of my rope, but compared to you, I'm much luckier. You really are at the end of your rope."
"In three days, I need to break through from an Enlightener to a Six-Star Mystic Martial Artist. This might be the craziest thing in the world."
Yang Dingtian sighed. "So, even if there's only a one percent chance, I have to fight with my life. Otherwise, everything I have will be finished. My mission, my wife, my allies."
After hearing Yang Dingtian's words, Zhao Mu was silent. Suddenly, he smiled at him and said, "Yang Dingtian, no wonder you said that you and I are natural allies.
That's right, it's because we have a common enemy, Dongfang Bingling. "
"My relationship with her is too complicated. We can't be considered enemies, but our grudges are deeper than that," Yang Dingtian said.
Zhao Mu's face revealed a mocking smile. "Yang Dingtian, do you want to hear my story?
I was beaten into a trash by Dongfang Bingling. "
"I know a little," Yang Dingtian said. "But I'd like to hear more."
"Everyone said that I was beaten into a cripple because I saw her beauty and had evil thoughts." Zhao Mu's face revealed a sarcastic and pained smile as he said, "I was licentious and lecherous, and my reputation was in shambles?
Back then, my father seduced the enemy and killed all the uncles to take the position of the Villa Lord.
However, my Horror Mountain Village also became a vassal of the Northwest Qin Clan. The entire Horror Mountain Village was notorious.
When I walked outside, I didn't dare to reveal my identity. I was afraid of being ridiculed and humiliated.
The more it was like this, the more determined I became. I wanted to become strong, I wanted to be chivalrous, I wanted to take back all the reputation that Horror Mountain Village had lost.
I wanted to take back the strength that Horror Mountain Village had lost. I wanted Horror Mountain Village to return to being a first-rate power. "
Zhao Mu's emotions gradually became agitated. He couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
"At that time, I was cultivating every day. How could I care about women?
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. That year, I was already 24 years old, but I had never tasted women. I told myself that I had to cultivate until I became a Martial Ancestor before I could marry and have children. Although Dongfang Bingling was a peerless fairy, how could I take liberties with her? "
Zhao Mu said, "The truth was that at that time, I and a group of Northwest Qin Clan disciples went to the Land of Purgatory to cultivate. At that time, there was a rumor that there was a scroll of a peerless mystical skill in a secret realm. Many experts flocked there.
Qin Huaiyu and I were considered the strongest power at that time. When we entered the Land of Purgatory, we met Dongfang Bingling who was alone.
At that time, Qin Huaiyu and the others didn't know that this was Dongfang Bingling. Seeing her peerless beauty, they had evil thoughts. They wanted to bully her, destroy her cultivation, and then take her into their room. "
At this point, Zhao Mu's voice trembled again. He said, "To be honest, Dongfang Bingling was too beautiful. She could bewitch the heart of any man. Although I didn't want to admit it, I was worried that I did have some feelings for her. So I couldn't bear to see her fall into the hands of that bastard Qin Huaiyu. So I took the opportunity to warn her: This is a dangerous place. Why did you, a lone woman, come here to join in the fun? Quickly leave, before you get killed."
When he reached the last part of his speech, Zhao Mu had enunciated each and every word clearly.
"That's it. I didn't add a single word, nor did I take a single word away."
Zhao Mu gnashed his teeth and said, "After she heard it, her eyes flashed with disdain and contempt. Then, she suddenly struck me with her palm. I was immediately sent flying dozens of feet away. All the meridians in my body were torn apart by the cold poison and I fainted.
When I woke up, I was already a cripple. "
"Then, I found out that this woman was Dongfang Bingling. She was the daughter of the Yin-Yang school's headmaster. She was a direct immortal of the Nine Heavens. She was the peerless genius with the highest possibility of becoming a Martial Saint."
Zhao Mu laughed coldly and said, "Then, everyone ridiculed me. They said that I was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. I actually tried to molest Dongfang Bingling and deserved to be beaten into a cripple.
Not only was my father unable to seek justice, he even had to kneel in front of the Yin-Yang school for three days and three nights to beg for their forgiveness. Until now, I've been the laughingstock of the world. "
"What a tyrannical fairy. What a tyrannical Yin-Yang school. Don't tell me that I deserve to be beaten to death with a single palm and then be trampled on ten thousand feet?
Haha, haha … "After he finished speaking, Zhao Mu burst into laughter. However, it was even more miserable than crying.
Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mu who was crying and laughing. He sighed in his heart and felt endless sympathy for him. This Dongfang Bingling was indeed rude and unreasonable. She had no regard for human life at all.
"Brother Zhao Mu, if I can pass this trial.
Five years later, if I can win against Dongfang Bingling, I'll definitely let her return your reputation and give you justice in front of the world. "
Yang Dingtian said slowly, "I can't say that I'll kill her to avenge you, nor can I say that I'll cripple her to vent your anger. Because she's my master's only daughter.
However, I'll do my best to make her give you justice. "
Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian's face for a long time. Then, he quietly bowed and said, "Thank you. Please, Brother Yang."
Then, Zhao Mu said, "Normally, a man who has been humiliated should take revenge himself.
However, I know my own limits. Although I have a one in a million talent, even if I wasn't injured before, I would never be Dongfang Bingling's opponent. The distance between us would only grow further and further. In the end, it would be like the difference between heaven and earth. If I want to rely on my own strength to get justice, it would be impossible.
Dongfang Bingling is a top talent. Brother Yang, do you have the confidence to defeat her in five years? "
Yang Dingtian said slowly, "I can only say that I'll do my best. If I can pass this trial in five days, then maybe I'll have a bit more confidence.
My Xuan Vein talent is not inferior to Dongfang Bingling's. However, she's too far ahead.
Therefore, I can only take a path that no one else has taken before. Only then will I have a chance of winning. "
Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, "Brother Yang, then I'll officially hand this Millennium Owl over to you. I hope you can succeed."
