The skinny old man suddenly changed his attitude and knelt down to beg for mercy, which surprised Yun Yan.
Because no matter what, they are all cultivators of the Star Realm, and their will will definitely be stronger than that of mortals, but why do they not even have the minimum backbone of a cultivator?
Finding that Yun Yan was silent, the skinny old man realized that he still had hope of living, so he quickly begged again.
"As long as you don't kill me, little brother...oh no, it's Young Hero, I can do anything you want me to do as long as Young Hero doesn't kill me."
Yun Yan saw that he had a humble look on his face, and he spoke without hesitation in order to survive. He didn't want to tangle with him anymore, so he spoke bluntly.
"I just said, you just need to answer my questions."
The old man replied immediately after hearing this.
"Oh, the Holy Fire Sect is located in the southeast of our village, less than ten days' journey away. With the young hero's cultivation, it can be reached in less than seven days.
However, starting three days ago, the entire Holy Fire Territory was under martial law, and including Tianjiazhuang where we were located, strangers within the sphere of influence had to be interrogated. "
"What are you checking?"
The skinny old man looked troubled, but when he looked around at his companions who were sitting on the ground to heal their injuries, he had no choice but to answer truthfully.
"We have received an order that any weapon refiner who enters the Holy Fire territory without permission will be expelled.
If the opponent is not weak, we need to report his whereabouts to the Holy Fire Sect as soon as possible, and the sect will personally send someone to deal with it. "
Hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help but think of the mission they came to the Night Continent to complete this time, but what does this matter have to do with the Holy Fire Sect?
It stands to reason that the Holy Fire Sect, as the tributary force of the Kyushu Alliance on the Night Continent, should not have anything to do with the group of people who privately manufacture magic weapons.
However, just as Jackal went to the Holy Fire Sect, they suddenly ordered to expel the unfamiliar weapon refiners within the Holy Fire territory. This inevitably made Yun Yan feel that the Holy Fire Sect was trying to cover up something.
However, the Holy Fire Sect seems to be the top force on the Night Continent, so why would they make such a suspicious move at a critical moment?
So, Yun Yan asked again.
"Why did the Holy Fire Sect expel the strange weapon refiner?"
The skinny old man replied tremblingly.
"I don't know very well, maybe it's because the Holy Fire Sect is receiving distinguished guests from heaven, so the sect leader doesn't want to cause trouble at this time."
"you mean?"
Seeing Yun Yan's expression, the old man guessed that he had just arrived in the Night Continent not long ago, and he was not very clear about the "secret" that was almost universally known on the continent.
Therefore, the old man answered mysteriously.
"I heard that some people often sell magic weapons and elixirs privately on our continent. This incident has aroused the dissatisfaction of Tianque. This time, people from the heaven came, ostensibly to inspect, but in fact they want to eliminate those weapon refiners."
After hearing what the skinny old man said, Yun Yan was speechless.
Could it be that their mission to the Night Continent has been known to everyone for a long time, and he actually thought it was a secret.
So, he asked helplessly.
"In that case, isn't the Holy Fire Sect afraid of misunderstandings from the inspectors coming down from heaven?"
The skinny old man saw that Yunyan seemed to be very interested in this matter, and his murderous intention towards him was gone. Therefore, the old man's eyes were full of hope of living.
I saw him reply happily.
"The Holy Fire Sect has always obeyed the orders of Heaven, just like we have always obeyed the Holy Fire Sect's will.
Moreover, since decades ago, the Holy Fire Sect has been strictly prohibiting the private sale of various magical weapons and elixirs in the Night Continent in accordance with Tianque's wishes.
Therefore, no matter when the inspection envoys from the heaven come, we have reason to do so. However, in the past few days, the Holy Fire Sect has suddenly strengthened such instructions.
I guess it has to do with the fact that some time ago, someone sold a large number of low-level storage magic weapons in the Holy Fire Territory. "
"Oh, someone is selling storage magic weapons in large quantities?"
Yun Yan felt a little surprised. This reminded him that Zhu Liren once mentioned that someone on the Night Continent purchased a large amount of lumen stones from Tianque. He thought about it.
"Is it true that someone has discovered that it will be much easier to refine primary storage treasures with the help of lumen stones?"
The skinny old man nodded and replied.
"Yes, someone did this, and someone in our family has bought this kind of treasure."
After saying this, the old man waved to his son who was holding his arms and adjusting his breath in the distance.
"Qi Guang, come quickly and apologize to the young hero."
Although the man who was thrown out by Yun Yan with one hand just now was far away from them, with his cultivation in the Star Realm, he could naturally hear the conversation between Yun Yan and his father clearly.
Hearing his father's call, he immediately stood up, hurriedly came to Yun Yan, knelt down quickly and spoke sincerely.
"Villain Tian Qiguang, I was blind just now, so I boldly attacked the young hero. Fortunately, the young hero was kind in his heart, so he didn't take the villain's life.
Now the villain is begging the young hero, because I am ignorant and it is my first offense. I have an old mother who is sick in bed at home. I have no children and no one to inherit the incense. Please spare the villain's life. "
"Well......"
Yun Yan turned her gaze to the skinny old man. It was obvious that he admired the old man for being able to teach such a "promising" son.
However, Tian Qiguang, who was kneeling on the ground, found that Yun Yan's face was a bit ugly, and he mistakenly thought that Yun Yan was still unwilling to let him go.
So, he quickly said again.
"My life is poor and I am still unmarried, and I am the only male child in our family. If this villain has his shortcomings, I am afraid our family will be extinct.
Therefore, I beg the young hero to spare my life, even if I am allowed to leave a seed for the Lao Tian family, and..."
"shut up!"
Yun Yan finally couldn't listen anymore, he stared at Tian Qiguang's father and asked.
"You called him here just to talk nonsense to me?"
Upon hearing this, the skinny old man quickly shook his head and explained.
"No, no, I'm just...just...hey, what was I trying to say just now?"
The old man thought for a while and suddenly reached out and patted his forehead, and said with great joy.
"Oh, I remembered that decades ago, I bought a privately sold storage treasure near the outer gate of the Holy Fire Sect."
Then, the old man shouted to Tian Qiguang.
"You bastard, quickly take out the treasure and show it to the young hero."
Upon hearing this, Tian Qiguang quickly took out a vulgar-looking storage bag from his arms and handed it to Yun Yan with both hands for inspection.
Taking the storage bag from Tian Qiguang's hand, Yun Yan took a casual look and saw that the two exquisite and elegant characters "Tian Meng" were engraved on the dark storage bag that he had made.
Yun Yan immediately showed displeasure and looked at Tian Qiguang and asked.
"What did you say your name was?"
"Reporting to you, young hero, the villain's name is Tian Qiguang."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan immediately threw the storage bag in his arms angrily and said coldly.
"You are really dishonest. The name on the storage bag is Tian Meng, but you lied to me and said your name is Tian Qiguang."
After saying that, Yun Yan looked at the skinny old man aside and asked.
"And you old guy, you are too much of a thief. You have been hiding your son's name from the beginning. Are you afraid that if I escape, I will find someone to come back to take revenge on you?"
Hearing Yun Yan's stern questioning, the old man and Tian Qiguang looked helpless. They didn't expect that the young man in front of them had such a mind.
So, the skinny old man said quickly.
"Young hero, I misunderstood. In fact, the old man's name is Tian Meng, and I originally carried this storage bag with me. It was only after my son was born that I passed it on to him."
"Ah? Your name is Tian Meng?"
Yun Yan asked with a surprised look on his face, because he really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this bad old man, and why he had such a weird name.
However, when he thought about it, his parents might have given him this name, so he couldn't be blamed.
Only then did Tian Meng realize that Yun Yan was angry because of this.
Maybe it's because he has been the clan leader for decades, and for such a long time, everyone has called him the clan leader. Therefore, the name Tian Meng has not been mentioned by anyone for decades.
Thinking of this, Tian Meng immediately answered with a smile on his face.
"The old man is Tian Meng. I inherited the position of the Tianjiazhuang clan leader when I was at this age. Therefore, the real name of the old man is rarely mentioned by others, and even I am a little unfamiliar with it.
But please rest assured, young hero, we have already seen your true strength. Even if I practice for decades more, I will not be your opponent.
Not only am I incompetent, but neither is my son Qi Guang. His talents and qualifications are not as good as those of Lao Chan. Therefore, we absolutely dare not hold a grudge. Please be noble and let us go. "
Tian Meng never forgot to beg for mercy. He knew that only by showing enough fear of death could he survive the seemingly innocent young man in front of him.
He guessed right, Yun Yan really had no interest in killing their father and son. Of course, this was not because he was kind, but because he felt it was not worth it.
So, Yun Yan waved her hand and said.
"That's all. Now that you have answered my question, I will keep my promise and let you go. Let's just say goodbye."
After saying that, Yun Yan was about to leave, but Tian Meng suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute, young hero, I still have something to say."
Yun Yan asked in confusion.
"What's up?"
Tian Meng replied slightly embarrassed.
"Young hero has to pass through our Tianjiazhuang when rushing to the Holy Fire Sect, so I'd better give you a ride with Old Man and Quanzi. Otherwise, if unnecessary misunderstandings occur again, the gain will outweigh the losses."
Hearing this, Yun Yan naturally understood what he meant. They must have interrogators nearby in their Tianjiazhuang. Tian Meng was afraid that he would meet other members of their Tianjiazhuang clan later, so he wanted to give him a lift. .
In order to save unnecessary trouble, Yun Yan nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, Tian Meng and Tian Qiguang took Yunyan to the southeast, while the others stayed in place to heal their injuries.
