Chapter 674 Night Talk (Part 2)
"Nine Nether Alliance!"
Liang Yan was slightly startled. This was not the first time he heard this name. The two foreign monks he met in Chuhe, Yi Country, had reminded him that if he met the monks from the Nine Nether Alliance, it was best to avoid them. Stay away and don’t get involved in right and wrong!
"I didn't expect them to be right. Among the thirty-seven kingdoms of Nanchui, apart from the Nine Nether Alliance, which force dares to attack one of the five great sects?" Liang Yan murmured.
"Do you also know about the Nine Nether Alliance?" Tang Diexian asked in surprise.
Liang Yan nodded and said, "I have encountered them several times in the past few years. They are very ambitious and their methods are even more ruthless."
"More than ruthless, it is simply crazy! In that battle, our Yixing Pavilion shed blood and suffered heavy losses. Three of the Taoist masters of the Juyuan Realm died, and one of the elders of the Golden Core Realm also died. Even the Pavilion Master at that time Aunt Tang also died fighting outside the sect hall!"
Liang Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then sighed.
Speaking of which, Tang Xiaoyun is indeed vicious and vicious, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, but everything she does is wholeheartedly for the development of Yixing Pavilion.
She has endured the humiliation for many years just to appease Zhuo Yuntian's lineage and prevent Yixing Pavilion from falling apart.
She killed Liang Yan regardless of his identity as the leader of a sect because she was also afraid of his talent in formation and was afraid that he would hold a grudge and threaten Yixing Pavilion in the future.
And in the end, dying on the spot in order to protect the sect seemed like something she would do.
At least to Yixingge, this woman gave her all.
It's just that she was born at the wrong time. When she took over Yixing Pavilion, it was already in turmoil. At that time, one of the three cabinet elders who was at the peak of the golden elixir was missing, his deadline was approaching, and the other had evil intentions. This left Tang Xiaoyun alone.
Liang Yan sighed softly. He had hated Tang Xiaoyun for many years. He originally planned to wait until he achieved the golden elixir, then go to Yixing Pavilion and challenge Tang Xiaoyun with a sword. But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Unexpectedly, when I received news about this person again, this former enemy had passed away. I could only say that the world is impermanent, and even if you embark on the path of cultivation, there is a risk of death.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan suddenly recalled someone and asked, "I wonder how senior Kuchiki is doing these days. His magical power is even stronger than that of Tang Xiaoyun, so he will definitely not fall in this battle, right?"
Tang Diexian glanced at him and seemed a little hesitant, but finally said softly: "Uncle Kuchikisheng passed away at the top of Cangmu Peak three years ago."
"What?!"
Liang Yan suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed, almost startling Tang Diexian.
The next moment, Liang Yan's eyes heated up, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed three times towards the north in the direction of Yixing Pavilion.
"Senior Kuchikisheng, if you hadn't taken action back then, I would have been sacrificed to Tianlei by Zhuo Yuntian. I won't be able to repay you for the grace of saving my life and the grace of preaching and cultivating my profession."
When he said this, he was already choked with sobs. Suddenly he felt the fragrant breeze behind him, but Tang Diexian came to his side, knelt down with him, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Yixing Pavilion.
"Senior Sister Tang" Liang Yan murmured, but Tang Diexian shook his head gently, signaling him not to speak.
A gentle touch with a slight coolness came into the palm of his hand, but it was Tang Diexian who held his hand, and the two of them sat on the floor next to the wall and under the window.
The moonlight outside the window was as cold as water, falling silently on the two of them. At this moment, it was particularly quiet.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard Tang Diexian say softly: "I know you respect Kumu Sheng very much, but when he finally passed away at the top of Cangmu Peak, he was smiling. I think, probably It must be because in the last few years of his life, he met an old friend like you."
Liang Yan knew that she was comforting him. Feeling the tenderness of the catkins in her hands, his mood gradually returned to calm.
"Senior Kuchikisheng has passed away. What about Zhuo Yuntian, the elder of the three major cabinets? He is at the peak of the Golden Core cultivation level. Can't Tang Xiaoyun still be saved in this battle?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.
This time it was Tang Diexian's turn to change his expression, and his plain hands were shaking a little from the exertion in Liang Yan's palm.
"What's wrong?" Liang Yan asked softly.
"Zhuo Yuntian has collaborated with the enemy and rebelled against the clan. He is no longer a member of our Yixing Pavilion!"
"What?!"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses. No wonder these evil monks were able to attack the sect hall of Yixing Pavilion with lightning speed. It turned out that there was a cabinet elder as an internal agent!
"Hmph! Zhuo Yuntian has joined the Nine Nether Alliance a long time ago. He is deliberately planning to bring down Yixing Pavilion. It's ridiculous that I, Aunt Tang, wanted to take the overall situation into consideration and tolerated him so much, but I didn't expect that he was a white-eyed wolf! After the death of Master Uncle Kuchiki, this person no longer has any scruples. In the final battle, if he hadn't been so ruthless, my Aunt Tang might not have died in the battle."
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly recalled the battle with Zhuo Bufan in the forbidden area of the ancestor.
At that time, he risked death by using the Nanming Lihuo Needle to attack Zhuo Bufan, but in the end he was defused by a Substitute Gu in his body.
Later, Liang Yan traveled around the five countries and discovered in several conflicts that this tribulation poison seemed to be a poison planted on some important chess pieces by the top brass of the "Nine Nether Alliance".
For example, Xu Xiang, who once worked undercover in the Yungang Sect, also had a Tribulation Gu on his body, and Liu Jing, the chief steward who worked undercover in the Wenxiang Pavilion of Wu State.
"It seems that as early as seven years ago, when I was still in Yixing Pavilion, Zhuo Bufan and Zhuo Yuntian's uncle and nephew were already members of the Nine Nether Alliance!" Liang Yan thought to himself.
He turned around and saw that when Tang Diexian talked about Zhuo Yuntian, his eyes were filled with evil aura, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Zhuo Yuntian also has a big grudge against me. Don't worry, one day, I will kill this person for you!" Liang Yan said slowly but firmly.
Tang Diexian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stared at Liang Yan with a pair of wonderful eyes.
After a long time, I suddenly heard her smile "Pfft!" and said teasingly: "What nonsense are you boasting about! You know you are only in the middle stage of foundation building, but you actually dare to talk so brazenly that you want to cause trouble for a peak Golden Core cultivator?"
Liang said nothing, just looked at her quietly. Tang Diexian smiled for a while, and her face gradually calmed down. She met Liang Yan's gaze and suddenly said three words solemnly:
"I'm waiting for you!"
Three simple words, but they seem to contain too much.
Liang Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.
She leaned on his chest and suddenly said softly: "Back then, Aunt Yu looked down on your qualifications and tried every means to break us up. But she didn't expect that seven years later, you had already established the Tao Foundation, and even advanced to the foundation building level. mid-term"
As she spoke, she raised her head and said faintly: "I took the ancestor's 'Lianhua Pill' in the sect's forbidden area to build the Tao foundation in three years. Now after seven years, it is still in the early stage of foundation building. It seems that It’s because my qualifications are far inferior to yours!”
