In a quiet stone pool surrounded by mist in the quiet and eerie misty mountains, a ray of light broke through the water and fell into a nearby pavilion, revealing Ning Tao's figure.
After decades of seclusion and refining treasures, Ning Tao had to come out to take a breath to prevent mental problems caused by being in a claustrophobic environment for a long time.
As soon as Ning Tao left this retreat, Nangong Xing, who was guarding here, immediately stopped practicing, came to Ning Tao, and stood waiting for Ning Tao's instructions.
When Ning Tao saw this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he sat on the lounge chair in the pavilion, closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and spoke lazily.
"Nangong Xing, during this period of seclusion, has anything happened in the Red Feather Mountains?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xing raised his hands and reported to Ning Taohui.
"Reporting to the Lord, thanks to the Lord's blessing, nothing happened in the Akabane Mountains during this period!"
Ning Tao nodded when he heard this, and saw Nangong Xing opening his mouth to report.
"But some time ago, when the Lord was in seclusion, Miss Tang Yuyan from the Tang family came to ask if the Lord had come out of seclusion, and sent a greeting card from the eldest elder of the Tang family!"
Ning Tao chuckled when he heard this. It seemed that the Tang family was going to make some move. He didn't know what the plan was this time.
According to Ning Tao's guess, although the Tang family seems to be honest, they are always preparing to plan the Chiyu Mountains, and now they are just accumulating strength.
If the Tang family accumulates enough strength, they will definitely kill them with one strike and take the Red Feather Mountains under their control.
For example, the branch of the Tang family in the Akabane Mountains was deliberately separated by the original sect in order to gain greater living space in various places.
And these races with backing are not afraid of the revenge of these small tribes at all, so they are almost invincible in the Akabane Mountains.
However, the Tang family's help is not free or bottom-line, but is similar to the relationship between the suzerain and the subordinate country.
The suzerain country protects the subordinate countries, and the subordinate countries strive for external interests under the protection of the suzerain country.
Outstanding descendants of subordinate countries can also go to their own clan to practice. When they are successful in cultivation, they can either return to their own branch or continue to stay in their own clan.
When the sect is in trouble, these affiliated branches will also send manpower to provide support.
........
Ning Tao heard Nangong Xing's report about the visit and spoke.
"Well, yes, just send someone to reply to the letter. If the Tang family elder comes, just bring him directly here!"
The current location of Shi Tan has been spread out, and there is no possibility of keeping it secret, so Ning Tao no longer hides it.
Tens of days later, Ning Tao was practicing in the cave. Nangong Xing activated the communication magic stone outside the cave, awakening Ning Tao.
When Ning Tao came to the pavilion, an old Taoist priest wearing a red Taoist robe with white beard and hair was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea by himself.
When the Taoist saw Ning Tao's arrival, he stood up and bowed to Ning Tao.
"I, Tang Yanming, the Supreme Elder of the Tang family, have met fellow Taoist Yuan and have taken the liberty to disturb you. I also hope to see Haihan!"
When Ning Tao saw this, he also turned around and said politely.
"Yuan Wang has met Elder Tang and has heard of Elder Tang's name a long time ago. When he saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!"
Tang Yanming saw Ning Tao give him a standard reply, which directly confirmed what he was thinking.
Previously, Saint Xuan Yin of the Demon Clan had sent a message to him, asking him to pay attention to a monk named Yuan Wang. If he was in any danger, he must protect his safety at all costs.
Now watching Ning Tao reply to him with a standard Jishou, he thought to himself that although this Jishou seems simple, not many people know about it in the demon world, and it is mainly spread among the demon clan.
It seems that Ning Tao was born into the Demon Clan. He left the clan for some unknown reason and was related to Xuan Yin.
Could it be that he is a genius secretly cultivated by the Demon Clan, or perhaps a member of the clan who ran away from somewhere.
But since Ning Tao is from the authentic Demon Clan, he doesn't have so many worries in his heart.
.......
Tang Yanming was humble when he heard this, and Ning Tao extended his hand to ask the Tang family's supreme elder to take a seat.
Then Ning Tao waved his hand and released a tea set, took out a tea can, took out a few Fengyu tea leaves, put them into a cup, boiled a pot of spring water, brewed it, made a tea tasting gesture, and invited Tang Yanming to drink tea. .
Tang Yanming was much more knowledgeable than the two girls from the Tang family, and he recognized at a glance that the thing in Ning Tao's hand was a good thing.
He took a sip and immediately praised it.
"Good tea, good tea. I have only drank this kind of good tea a few times. I didn't expect to have such a good taste when I came to Master Yuan today. I'm so lucky!"
After hearing this, Ning Tao smiled slightly, introduced the efficacy of Fengyu tea, and regretfully said that he did not have any tea trees for this kind of tea.
When Tang Yanming heard this, he was even more convinced that Ning Tao's background was absolutely extraordinary. Otherwise, why would he have such a magical tea in his hand? You must know that most people in the demon world do not drink tea, and the art of making tea is generally spread among the demons. , and such good tea can generally only be enjoyed by the upper echelons of the Demon Clan.
Thinking of this relationship, Tang Yanming, the eldest elder of the Tang family, felt a lot more at ease. Xuan Yin asked him to take care of Ning Tao, which showed that he had no irreconcilable conflict with the demon clan.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ning Tao put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Tang Yanming with interest, the great elder of the Tang family in the late stage of Xu Refining and asked.
"Elder Tang is here this time. What's the matter? Or are you just here to chat?"
Tang Yanming didn't feel embarrassed after hearing this and laughed.
"Master Yuan is really a quick talker. Is there anything wrong with simply visiting Master Yuan?"
Ning Tao saw that Tang Yanming didn't answer directly, smiled, and said in a calm tone.
"Elder Tang is here to pay me a visit. I'll naturally sweep the couch to welcome you. But if there's anything you need to say, it's best to tell him directly to save everyone from wasting time. After all, the time of us cultivators is still very precious, isn't it?"
After saying that, he stared at Tang Yanming blankly.
When Tang Yanming heard this, he was stunned by Ning Tao, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Master Yuan is really outspoken, but what Master Yuan said is right. I really have something to ask for when I come here this time. But before that, there is one more thing I need to explain to Master Yuan, so as to avoid misunderstanding by Master Yuan!"
After saying that, there was a flash of light in his hand, and the tea in the teacup turned into droplets of water and flew out, forming two characters on the top of the teacup, and then fell into the teacup again.
After Ning Tao saw it, his eyes narrowed and he looked at Tang Yanming again with squinted eyes. He flicked his sleeves and a soundproof barrier enveloped the entire pavilion.
Then he asked with a wry smile and a sigh.
"Elder Tang, what does this mean?"
Although Ning Tao had already guessed some of the situation in his mind, he still had to confirm where he learned about his relationship with Xuanyin. Was it from Chi Fei of the Scarlet Feather Clan, or was it the Holy Son of the Six Paths Tu Ling, or the Holy Son of the Demonic Insect Tribe? Whether Zi was buried in Youquan, he learned about it from other people's mouths, or it was said by Xuan Yin himself. The details of the matter must be confirmed from Tang Yanming's mouth before making a judgment. Reading books
You must know that each situation is different, and the problems you face and the subsequent solutions are different.
So he continued to ask questions and wait for Tang Yan to elaborate on the matter.
When Tang Yanming saw this, he smiled slightly and spoke confidently.
"Fellow Taoist Yuan Wang should be from the authentic Demon Clan. Holy Lady Xuanyin had already sent people to the Chiyu Mountains to find the Tang family before the Taoist monk broke through the Void Refining, and told him to take care of Master Yuan. If Master Yuan is in danger, he must be taken care of. Try your best to help Master Yuan!"
Ning Tao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was originally arranged by Xuan Yin, and he probably had an explanation, so he should not tell himself about this.
Now that the Tang family has told the whole story, it seems that they want to pull themselves into a chariot.
I saw Ning Tao rubbing his chin with his fingers and talking to himself.
"It turns out it was Xuan Yin who arranged it, so she should have told you not to tell me about this!"
When Tang Yanming heard this, he laughed without any embarrassment, but he thought to himself.
It seems that the two people are indeed connected. Seeing the name he directly calls Xuan Yin, and then thinking about his tyrannical fighting power, it further confirms his suspicion.
Then he said with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Master Yuan. I am the only one in the Tang family who knows about this matter, and it will not be leaked to any third party."
When Ning Tao saw this, he snorted coldly.
"Huh, it's best this way. You and I are both human beings. For Xuan Yin's sake, just tell me what's going on with you. As long as it's not too much, there's nothing wrong with me helping you!"
When Tang Yanming heard this, he smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect Ning Tao to be so rude, but despite his amazing strength and profound background, he was not worried at all about the threat that Ning Tao might bring.
There is a Mahayana Demon Lord behind his Tang family, and the Demon Clan's Council of Elders has long banned war between Demon Clan clans.
Then he spoke.
"For the development of the Tang family, I have no choice but to look to fellow Taoist friend Haihan. This is a gift I prepared for Master Yuan. I don't know if you are satisfied with it!"
As he spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a jade box with a ban on it, and pushed it in front of Ning Tao.
Ning Tao sighed secretly when he saw this. It seemed that this old guy had already planned to get himself into trouble before he came.
But if you want to end it yourself, you have to see if the benefits are worth it.
Ning Tao's palm was placed on the jade box and the light shone. He lifted the restrictions on it and opened the lid of the jade box with his hand.
A Gengjin spirit that was only the size of a duck egg, golden in color, and exuding a sharp aura appeared in front of Ning Tao.
When Ning Tao saw this, he raised his eyebrows. Looking at Tang Yanming who was full of confidence in front of him, he sighed inwardly. It seemed that he really had no way to refuse this time.
Unexpectedly, when this old guy made a move, it would be a seventh-level treasure, although it was not as big as the piece of Gengjin Essence that he had originally obtained.
But even so, the value of this object is not comparable to that of ordinary seventh-level treasures. If you want to continue to improve your flying sword, you must need a large number of five-element treasures.
Then he smiled, closed the lid of the jade box, and asked.
