A faint figure with the same appearance as Butler Jin from the Blood Evil Sect floated behind Tantaiyu.
"Slave Jin Bin has met Mr. Yu!"
The faint figure floated in the air, but he knelt down and saluted Tantai Yu.
Tantai Yu slowly turned around, nodded to the faint figure, and said lightly:
"I have worked hard on you over the past hundred years, and this time I have made you lose your body. The Tantai family will not treat you badly."
"Whether you want to turn into a ghost to practice cultivation, or you want to get a new physical body, the Tantai family can do it for you. However, if you want a physical body, you can only have the physical body of an ordinary mortal, and you can no longer become a practitioner. "
"Of course, our Tantai family will protect your wealth for the rest of your life."
The face of the faint figure showed tears of gratitude and said:
"Being able to serve the family, I don't care about life and death for a long time. What happens after that depends on the master's orders."
Tantai Yu smiled slightly.
This house slave is quite loyal.
Of course, this person was not the one he placed in the Blood Demon Sect. He was not born a hundred years ago.
The person who arranged for this slave to enter the Blood Demon Sect was the Celestial Immortal Ancestor of their Tantai Family. It was also the Celestial Immortal Ancestor who secretly freed the Blood Demon Clan. It was also them who had protected the Blood Demon Sect for so many years. Tantai family.
The "mystery" of the Xuesha Sect is because the Tantai family allowed it to be mysterious, so it has existed "mysteriously" in Shanghai for hundreds of years.
As for the reason why Tantai Jingming, the ancestor of the immortal family, did this, Tantaiyu naturally knew it very well.
About 40% of the cultivators in Shencheng are affiliated with their Tantai family. This is something that many people know.
But in fact, the number of affiliated forces owned by their Tantai family is much greater than those known to everyone.
Among them are affiliated forces such as the Fan Family, Jingtao Pavilion, and Wangyou Villa that can be put on the bright side, and there are also affiliated forces such as the Blood Demon Sect that must not be known to others.
Affiliated forces like the Fan family can do a lot of things for them, but some things must be done by affiliated forces like the Blood Demon Sect.
For example, the shipwreck on the river a few days ago may have been thought by everyone to be the Blood Demon Sect's attempt to use the blood of those passengers to practice evil arts, which was why the passengers on the ship died.
But in fact, it was just because the Tantai Family wanted someone on that ship to die, and the death had to be done in a way that seemed to have nothing to do with the Tantai Family.
Of course, it is most appropriate for the Blood Demon Sect to do this kind of thing.
Of course, not even Xue Manshan, the leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, knew about this real purpose. Only Jin Bin, who planned the shipwreck tragedy, and Tantai Yu, who gave the order, knew it.
Over the past hundred years, the Blood Demon Sect has done countless similar things for them.
And over the years, the person who actually controls the power of the Blood Evil Sect is Jin Bin, the slave of their Tantai family. As for the leader of the Blood Evil Sect, Xue Manshan, it was under the deliberate arrangement of the Tantai Family that he obtained the Bone Evil Sect. After learning the White Bone Technique, he concentrated on cultivating this technique, hoping to break through to the realm of land gods.
As for a useful domestic slave like Jin Bin, the Tantai family will naturally protect him well. At least when he is useful, he will never let him die easily.
Like tonight's situation, the Tantai family had already anticipated how to save Jin Bin's life if he encountered a powerful enemy that he could not resist.
For this reason, Patriarch Tantai Jingming of the Tantai family personally cast a secret technique on Jin Bin. Even if the enemy he encountered was very cautious, after killing Jin Bin's body, Jin Bin's soul was still shattered. The secret technique will protect Jin Bin's real soul, and create a fake soul to make the enemy mistakenly think that Jin Bin has been completely killed.
And this secret technique finally came into play tonight.
"Okay, let's talk about who destroyed the Blood Demon Sect tonight!"
Tantai Yu said in a deep voice, and there was a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes at this moment.
Because he really wanted to know who that "Swallow" was.
Of course, I don't really want to make friends with that "swallow", but find that person and kill him.
The Blood Demon Sect is such a useful tool. The Tantai Family has spent hundreds of years and a huge amount of effort protecting them from being discovered by the Shencheng cultivation community, but tonight it was destroyed.
Naturally, that "swallow" must pay this debt with death!
"... I don't know who that person is, because that person appeared in the form of an elder from the Blood Demon Sect. Before he took action, I didn't notice anything unusual about him!"
Jin Bin's answer made Tantaiyu frown suddenly.
A flawless form-changing technique?
If that "Swallow" possesses such magical skills, it would probably be very difficult to discover this person's true identity.
"How is this person's cultivation level? Please tell me in detail what happened last night."
Then Tantaiyu asked again.
Jin Bin's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of confusion and fear, and then he said:
"That man disguised himself as an elder of the Blood Fiend Sect and came to the slave, saying that he had something important to report to the sect master. Then the slave brought him to the Blood Man Mountain, and the man immediately became violent and revolted. .”
"The moment that person made a move, Xiaonu felt... Xiaonu felt... He seemed to only have the cultivation level of the First Consciousness Realm..."
"What!"
Tantaiyu interrupted Jin Bin's story in disbelief.
"This is impossible!"
He said flatly.
How could a cultivator in the First Awareness Realm kill a mountain full of blood, and how could he summon such a powerful thunder to turn the entire village into ruins.
Jin Bin looked at Tantai Yu nervously and said:
"Sir, I would never dare to lie to you. The spiritual power fluctuations in that person's body are really only those of the First Awareness Realm."
"...Then that person showed a very strange and terrifying Taoist technique..."
Jin Bin continued:
"That person...that person...suddenly grew three heads and six arms...that person killed me, killed me all over the mountain, and summoned thunder, all in an instant...what happened after that? ,, I don’t know, little slave.”
Tantaiyu's body suddenly shook.
When Jin Bin mentioned that the mysterious "Swallow" might just be a practitioner in the first realm of consciousness, Tantai Yu's expression was one of unbelievable shock.
But at this moment, Tantaiyu was as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Shock and horror are naturally two different levels of surprise.
Tantai is one of the few surnames that existed since the birth of the human race. The Tantai family is also an ancient family with a long heritage, spanning several Yuanhui eras.
Although today's strength can no longer be compared with that of ancient times, and many Taoist and magical powers have been lost long ago, this is still a very well-established cultivating family that knows many secrets of ancient times.
In this regard, many sects of the Seven Immortals Sect are far inferior to them.
So as soon as Tantaiyu heard Jin Bin's description, he knew what kind of magical power it was.
"Three heads and six arms!"
Tantaiyu said these words like a moan in her throat.
That is a legendary, extremely powerful fighting tactic!
It is also an extremely secret inheritance. Ordinary practitioners have no chance or opportunity to obtain the inheritance of such powerful magical powers.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Tantaiyu's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light.
At this moment, he began to believe that the person who destroyed the Blood Demon Sect tonight, turned the village into ruins before his eyes, and killed all the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, might really be just a practitioner in the initial realm.
Because he can possess magical powers with three heads and six arms, he probably also possesses a terrifying and powerful practice inheritance from ancient times. It is not surprising that such a person can do some things that are unbelievable to normal practitioners.
Tantaiyu slowly opened his palm and looked at the blood-stained paper swallow in his hand again.
This mysterious "swallow" is indeed mysterious enough, with a mysterious identity and a mysterious origin.
He took a deep breath to regain his composure, and then began to think seriously.
As the most outstanding descendant of the Tantai family for thousands of years, Tantai Yu not only surpassed his ancestor Tantai Jingming in terms of spiritual talent, he was also a very wise and capable person.
...a practitioner who has first realized the realm...
...possessing magical powers with three heads and six arms...
...Possess a Taoist technique that summons powerful thunder...
...Possess a very high-level form-changing technique...
…Using a knife and a bow and arrow as weapons…
Tantaiyu quickly sorted out the information he now had about the mysterious "swallow" in his mind.
Then something suddenly happened in his heart.
He once again thought of the mysterious man who took away a fragment of the palm book from his eyes last time.
...By the way, that mysterious man only has the realm of first acquaintance!
This thought flashed through Tantaiyu's heart like a bolt of lightning.
It was precisely because the mysterious man's cultivation was too low that they were careless and didn't take each other seriously at first.
But that mysterious man also possessed an incredible magical power. In front of a land god and three powerful Nascent Souls, he escaped in one step.
The same first acquaintance, the same powerful and incredible supernatural powers.
Also... neither the mysterious "Swallow" nor the mysterious man can be calculated with one palm...
At this moment, Tantaiyu had a strong feeling that these two people were the same person.
The reason why it is not completely confirmed is because the mysterious man from last time appeared wearing a mask.
If that person could change his shape, why would he appear wearing a mask?
This is the only doubt that Tantai Yu has yet to completely equate between the two people at this moment.
He slowly raised his head, remembered something, and then asked Jin Bin:
"Why does he have to look like the elder of the Blood Demon Sect... Why is it not someone else but that one?"
Jin Bin was also startled for a moment, then immediately woke up and said:
"Elder Hui seemed to have gone out to the village in the evening. Some ordinary people came to the village today. He may not have been able to control himself and followed him out. Then he was killed by the 'Swallow'. The 'Swallow' then used his The identity entered the village.”
"Ordinary people? What kind of ordinary people?"
"Several students and a tourist who entered by mistake. Xiaonu has carefully looked at them and found that they are indeed ordinary mortals."
"The problem is that 'Swallow' can also disguise himself as an ordinary person. Let me see what those people look like."
Tantaiyu said in a condensed voice.
At this time, Jin Bin exists in a soul state, and he can directly reveal his memories.
Then the students who entered the village in the afternoon and the ordinary-looking young man who came to ask for water appeared in front of Tantaiyu.
Tantaiyu looked at each person carefully, then turned to the handsome middle-aged man in purple uniform and said:
"Elder Li, let someone find these people, and then check their details."
Although these people may not have anything to do with the "Swallow", it is also possible that "Swallow" is one of these people, who deliberately disguised himself as an ordinary person and came to inquire about the situation in the village.
Naturally, Tantaiyu will not let go of any possible clues.
"As commanded."
The handsome middle-aged man in purple nodded respectfully.
Then Tantaiyu turned around again and looked at the white bones at the bottom of the pond.
A weird smile appeared on his face.
"I told them just now that our Tantai family is responsible for the aftermath here, so naturally we can't talk about it."
Tantaiyu slowly raised a palm, with his five fingers bent like a hook, as if he was holding something in the air, and pointed it at the mountain of bones at the bottom of the pond.
"For a land-god Nascent Soul who is about to advance, the essence and blood he has cultivated for many years, as well as the corpse energy accumulated for hundreds of years, cannot be wasted like this."
Tantaiyu murmured in his mouth.
The next moment, I saw the blood gushing out from Xue Manshan's body, almost soaking the entire Bone Mountain, and the blood that had not yet begun to solidify turned into droplets of blood and flew up.
At the same time, the entire mountain of bones began to disintegrate rapidly. The bones shattered one after another, and strands of black corpse aura emerged from the broken bones.
Blood droplets and corpse energy entangled together in the air, turning into a black and red tornado, and got into the palm of Tantai Yu's hand.
At this moment, black and red protrusions like earthworms appeared on Tantai Yu's face, which was originally as flawless and handsome as jade, and it looked so ferocious.
Xue Manshan's White Bone Dharma was originally given to him by the Tantai family, and when the Tantai family rescued him, Xue Manshan also dedicated his Blood Demon Dharma to the Tantai family.
It's just that the Tantai family has protected Xue Manshan for hundreds of years. In addition to using the Xue Sha Sect to help them do things that are inconvenient for them to do themselves, the more obscure purpose is to keep Xue Manshan as a cauldron.
The Tantai family will never let Xue Manshan truly advance to the realm of land gods.
When the heat of this cauldron is sufficient, it will be used as a "elixir" for a disciple of the Tantai family to use to improve his cultivation.
This was all Tantai Jingming's original intention of secretly protecting the Xue Sha Sect.
Let's put it this way, even if Xie Manshan didn't die at the hands of that "Swallow" tonight, he would definitely not survive for a few days.
Because Tantai Yu, the most outstanding genius in the Tantai family for thousands of years, is about to break through to the realm of land gods, he needs to take the "elixir" of Xue Man Shan to help him cross that final step.
Now, Tantaiyu is swallowing this "elixir".
Starting from tonight, he will officially take the step to enter the realm of land gods.
Originally, he wanted to wait a few more months to take this step.
He has not fully recovered from the blow to his Taoist heart caused by the last remaining chapter of the Palm Sutra being robbed.
But just now he saw the four major immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance, especially the Taoist female disciple named Li Changqing, which made him feel faintly threatened.
And that "Swallow", with his cultivation level in the First Consciousness Realm, could easily crush the powerful Nascent Soul Realm, and his powerful and unpredictable magical powers, all of which made Tantai Yu feel the pressure.
In the past, as the most powerful young man in Shanghai, he had never had this kind of pressure.
But he has it now.
This feeling made Tantaiyu very uncomfortable.
He still likes the feeling of trampling everyone under his feet
So, let’s start tonight!
…
Shu Guan carried a huge waterwheel and sneakily ran into Duolun Lane, looked around, and then jumped from the backyard wall into the horse racing pavilion.
Han Biao, who heard the commotion, poked his head out of the second-floor window and looked at Shu Guan with a blank expression.
"nice one."
Shu Guan raised his head and smiled at Han Biao, pointing to the large waterwheel on his back.
Then he looked around his courtyard.
It can be put down, but placing such a large waterwheel in the yard is really an eyesore, and Shu Guan is not sure if anyone can see the weirdness of this waterwheel.
After thinking about it, Shu Guan squeezed the Tao Jue, and the soil on the ground in the courtyard surged up, and soon a large pit about twenty meters deep appeared below.
Shu Guan jumped down with the water wheel on his shoulders, placed the water wheel at the bottom of the pit, then jumped back to the ground, waved his hand, and the soil quickly filled the hole.
Shu Guan nodded with satisfaction and went up to the second floor with his hands behind his back.
Just put that thing underground first, and then take it out later if it comes in handy.
In the next few days, Shuguan's life was uneventful.
Of course, he knew very well that his killing of the entire Blood Demon Sect would definitely cause a great disturbance in the Shencheng cultivation community.
But as long as no one knows that Shu Xingyun, the fortune teller in Duolun Lane, is the mysterious "Swallow", then these disturbances will not affect him.
As for the name "Swallow", it should be resounding throughout the Shencheng cultivation world now!
To be honest, Shu Guan has been feeling a little proud these past few days.
In the afternoon of this day, Du Wenqiang's personal bodyguard and driver Xiaojian came to the horse racing hall and sent an invitation.
However, this invitation was not sent to Shu Guan by Du Wenqiang. The signature on it was Du Wenqiang's confidante Meng Linghui, who was actually married but not named husband and wife.
The reason is that Meng Linghui will hold a charity performance and specially invites Mr. Shu Xingyun to attend it. The invitation also states that the funds raised will be used to help refugees displaced by the War Academy a few months ago. .
The time is seven o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow.
The location was surprisingly the Guangming Theater.
