The lake breeze blew by, making the entire dock creak.
After the two discussed the Lan family's affairs, they became somewhat silent for a while.
After a long time, Zong Qing took out another bottle of wine from his arms and said calmly: "That's it. Anyway, I've warned you, be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zong." Duan Mutian picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
The two continued to talk freely about what they had experienced over the years.
But these two people have not seen each other for decades, and such a long experience cannot be finished in a short while.
It was not until afternoon that Zong Qing looked at the sparkling lake outside the window, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, let's end the chat. I came to you today not just for fun."
Duan Mutian also smiled and nodded. As soon as he turned his hand, a wisp of black air floated out of his hand in a spiral shape and quickly wrapped around the outside of the dock.
In the blink of an eye, the dock seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy black cloud. A storm was coming, and the dusk clouds were drooping, forming a strong contrast with the lake in the distance where the sun was shining across the sky.
Seeing this, Zong Qing thought for a moment, raised his hand and threw a gray ball outward.
In the air, the gray ball was filled with evil energy, and soon it turned into the appearance of an ancient beast, roaring and rushing towards the lake outside.
puff!
However, as soon as it came into contact with the black energy created by Duan Mutian, it was like a chicken thrown into a pack of tigers, and it was eaten cleanly in an instant.
"This barrier is good, the isolation effect is very good." Zong Qing stopped his hand, looked at Duan Mutian who looked indifferent, and praised it.
"Just do it casually. If Dishan wants to pry, our cultivation will be useless no matter what we do." Duan Mutian shook his head, vaguely reminding Zong Qing.
Although Yidi Mountain is now a mixed bag of fish and dragons, different spiritual powers are mixed together, making it extremely difficult to distinguish.
In addition, as they are giants in the Immortal Realm and have noble status, Dishan will not pry easily out of etiquette.
But it’s always a good idea to be cautious.
Zong Qing nodded, and after a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who is coming now?"
Beside, Bai He, who was meditating and adjusting his breath, slowly opened his eyes and listened.
"Who are you asking about? The Immortal Realm giant, or Xiao?" Duan Mutian smiled.
"Of course they all asked." Zong Qing waved his hand.
The two sides were quiet for a few moments, and then Duan Mucai slowly replied: "Many giants from the Immortal Realm have come. As for Xiao, everyone who received that message should probably come."
"You said it and didn't say it."
Zong Qing curled his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "I met Mr. Shang from the Three Thousand Sword Sect, the Oiran from the Wanhua Valley, and Meng Jin from the Taizong. There are so many people here this time."
"That's natural. Everyone knows the importance of this Emperor's Sacrifice." Duan Mutian thought for a while and said slowly: "I only met Jian Chen from Jianfeng here... Well, I have to say, Jian Chen from the Jade Sect Situ Yu is one of them."
"Yuzong?"
Zong Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Whether that sect can be considered a giant in the Immortal Realm or not is hard to say.
"Judging from this, it seems that no one came from the Western Desert for this Emperor's Sacrifice, nor from Tianqing Sea." Zong Qing concluded.
"The West Desert is sparsely populated, and there are not many forces that can rank high. As for the Sea of Clear Sky, I believe people will come. It's just that the journey is long and it takes time." Duan Mutian responded.
"Hmph, there are only a few days left. When the people from that ghost place come, the secret realm trials will be started." Zong Qing was disdainful and seemed to have some prejudice against Tianqing Sea.
The reason is that his family likes fire and lives on land all year round, so they are naturally not very interested in the vast and humid clear sea.
"It's okay, many people come here for the final emperor sacrifice, not for the secret realm trial." Duan Mutian said with relief.
"Hehe, they really value the Chongdi Festival, but our highlight is the secret trial ahead! Alas, it's a real loss for those people that they can't see that good show."
Zong Qing licked his tongue, with a cold light in his eyes, and said grimly: "Besides, it is still unclear whether the emperor's sacrifice can be carried out smoothly."
"Be careful what you say."
Duan Mutian frowned and tapped his fingers on the table. A black light burst out, spread out, and hit something that was about to spread.
Ding!
There was a crackling sound, and some broken characters appeared in the air around him. If he looked carefully, he saw that they were the words Zong Qing had said before.
They are being squeezed out of the air by inexplicable force, then crushed and chopped into pieces!
Zong Qing and Bai He were surprised, looking at the sound fragments that were about to be destroyed one by one, and they were a little confused about the reason.
"Brother, I admire Mu Tian's skills." Zong Qing worshiped sincerely.
Duan Mutian shook his head and did not blame Zong Qing for anything. After thinking about it, he slowly said: "By the way, I met people from Pingtianju before, and Qilinzi is here too."
"Huh? He's here too?" Zong Qing raised his eyebrows.
Duan Mutian nodded, with a hint of softness in his eyes.
"Since you have arrived at Yidi Mountain, why don't you come to see us?" Zong Qing was a little dissatisfied.
"Forget it, it's not like you don't know. Qilinzi doesn't like to be with me and a few others, so why force him?" Duan Mutian shook his head with a slight regret.
"Huh, no matter what, we are life-and-death friends with his father. According to our seniority, he should call us uncle! Why is it so unreasonable?" Zong Qing felt unhappy.
"You and I were also responsible for Brother Yu's death back then. There is no need to blame his posthumous son harshly."
Duan Mutian stood up and walked to the window, looking at the lake in front of him, his eyes reflecting the waves.
Yu Qilin, a peerless genius a hundred years ago, the inheritor of the immortal giant Ping Tianju, and a member of the Akatsuki organization.
In Tianqingzhihai, he launched an attack with Duan Mutian and others, but was killed by Xu Yue in the melee.
At that time, Yu Qilin was married and his wife was pregnant. In the second year after his death, his son was born and named Qilin Zi.
Over the past hundred years, Qilinzi has grown up and become the 18th strongest man on the Immortal Ranking. He also inherited his father's position and became the new leader of the younger generation in Pingtianju.
"Back then, you and I wanted to achieve a great cause and started working together, but now that Brother Meng and Brother Yu have passed away, we can no longer see them."
Duan Mutian stretched his wine glass out of the window and sprinkled it on the surging lake water below.
In the room, Zong Qing's wild aura was a little weaker. He silently picked up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
In an instant, Duan Mutian, who was dressed all in black, and Zong Qing, who was blond and had red eyes, fell silent at the same time, and neither of them spoke anymore.
The atmosphere was solemn. Bai He on the side thought for a while, stood up and advised: "You two adults, there is no need to be sad. This person has passed away. It should be a moment of mourning. Besides, we still have things to do yet."
"Bai He is right."
Duan Mutian by the window quickly adjusted, turned back and sat down again, and filled his wine glass again. Then he looked at Zong Qing, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"You must have received the news too, Jiang Li is already here."
