Chapter 480 Heaven-Swallowing Furnace
After Zhao Mu's in-depth study of the Taotie inscription, he roughly figured out the whole story.
This furnace, called [Tuntian Furnace], is a magic weapon created by a sect that believes in Taotie in the universe.
In order to expand the power of the sect, the Tiantian Sect created many similar magic weapons and then teleported them to various parts of the universe.
At that time, the Xianwu Continent was just a wild land, but by chance it was also chosen, and the Tiantian Furnace descended and hid in a secret space.
In ancient times, the human and demon races fought endlessly, and the sky was dark, and the Dusk Ancient Battlefield was born.
At that time, Tang Tiangao was just a small pawn under the power of a certain human emperor.
He fought with the demon cultivators in the Dusk Ancient Battlefield. Because he was afraid of death, he pretended to be dead and fled when the battle line was about to collapse, and escaped into the depths of the Dusk Ancient Battlefield.
It was also in the depths of the ancient battlefield that Tang Tiangao obtained this [Tuntian Furnace] and began to practice the Taotie inheritance from then on.
Relying on the large number of dead souls in the ancient battlefield, Tang Tiangao took a shortcut and his cultivation level improved rapidly.
Then, Tang Tiangao stayed in the northern border, expanded his territory in an area with few people, occupied a piece of land and began to multiply and thrive, gradually turning the Tang family into an ancient clan of ten thousand years.
Tang Tiangao was well versed in the art of Gou. Although he was the king of the northern border, he rarely communicated with the outside world. Moreover, the northern border was originally a barren and cold place on the human plain. All kinds of cultivation resources were far inferior to other places, and it was easy to be ignored by all forces in the cultivation world.
In this way, the Tang family developed quietly. Even though it has become one of the oldest wealthy clans of the human race, its popularity in the human race is still very ordinary.
"This old thing is really a generation of Gou King. It seems that it is more difficult to lure him out than I expected."
And...
Zhao Mu frowned.
Tang Tiangao had seen him.
He also knew that he had the support of the Moon God behind him.
With his cautious character, once he found out about his arrival, he might not choose to confront head-on.
If he ran away and found a place to hide, it would be much more difficult to find him.
"No, I have to disguise myself."
Zhao Mu used the art of changing his appearance and figure, and in an instant he became an ordinary person.
This was not enough, Zhao Mu used the power of the law to further disguise and change his aura.
Under such disguise, no matter how familiar Zhao Mu was, he would not notice it.
After the disguise, Zhao Mu set up a dark formation in the underground palace for monitoring.
He also wanted to take the Heaven-Swallowing Furnace away, but the Heaven-Swallowing Furnace was connected to the underground palace and guarded by a powerful formation. Zhao Mu tried several times but was powerless and could only shake his head and give up.
After that, Zhao Mu quietly left the underground palace, left the city lord's mansion, and found an inn to stay in.
After understanding Tang Tiangao's personality, Zhao Mu decided not to take action for the time being, but to make a feint first and see what Tang Tiangao would do and react.
Zhao Mu estimated that Tang Tiangao had probably noticed the changes in Lanqing City. The 900,000 soul materials he left in the underground palace could not have been without a trick. Maybe he had sensed it when he took action.
But with his cautious character, he might not enter Lanqing City at the first time.
Maybe he was acting in secret like himself.
Both of them were in the dark, so it depends on who can't hold it back first.
Next, it might be a time-consuming and laborious tug-of-war.
But Zhao Mu didn't care. He had to get rid of Tang Tiangao.
No words were spoken that night.
Zhao Mu kept an eye on the movements of all parties in Lanqing City, but no unexpected situation occurred.
In the morning, before dawn, Zhao Mu left the inn.
Tang Qing still chased after him.
Although he didn't want her to face all this, what was coming had to come, and Zhao Mu couldn't stop some things.
It's better to explain it to her clearly. This girl is a bit stubborn. The more you hide it from her, the more she will get anxious and angry.
Because she was a member of the Tang family, Tang Qing entered the city easily without any obstacles.
She looked a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, Zhao Mu had come first, so it was impossible for Lanqing City to be so peaceful.
Could it be that Zhao Mu hadn't come yet?
She was about to look for Zhao Mu, but at this moment, a dirty old man stopped her.
Seeing the old man staring at her, Tang Qing frowned and asked, "What can I do for you, old sir?"
"The old man knows you. You are the daughter of the Tang Yuan family, right? When you were just born, the old man held you in his arms."
Hearing the old man's words, Tang Qing was suddenly shocked.
She was born three thousand years ago.
Who is this old man? He can live for at least three thousand years, and he must have a cultivation level above the tribulation, but why did he make himself dirty like a beggar? Does the Tang family have such a person?
Her understanding of the Tang family was limited to her childhood. Even if she had met some strong people from the Tang family when she was a child, she had forgotten them completely now.
Besides, the world has changed over the past three thousand years, and many things have changed.
"Did your father come back with you?" the old man suddenly asked again.
Tang Qing couldn't guess the other party's identity, which showed that he was so curious about his father as soon as he came, so he couldn't help but be on guard.
"Old sir, you recognized the wrong person. I don't know the Tang Yuan you mentioned."
Seeing Tang Qing deny it, the old man didn't bother to argue, just smiled and turned away.
Tang Qing pondered for a long time, but still couldn't guess the identity of the old man.
She shook her head, didn't think much, and continued to walk towards the city.
"Qing'er, come here."
Zhao Mu's voice suddenly appeared in her mind, Tang Qing's face was happy, and she immediately found an inn according to Zhao Mu's instructions.
In a guest room with an elegant environment, Tang Qing saw Zhao Mu who had changed his appearance and temperament.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Tang Qing knew that the person in front of him must be Zhao Mu, but his appearance and aura now had nothing to do with Zhao Mu. Why did Zhao Mu change his appearance so thoroughly? Did he encounter any trouble?
"Don't speak first, listen to me."
Zhao Mu didn't waste time and directly told Tang Qing all the conditions of the Tang family that he had found out.
After hearing this, Tang Qing was shocked.
She has always known that the Tang family is not simple, but what Zhao Mu said has greatly overturned her three views.
The ancestor of the Tang family is actually an evil cultivator who devours his descendants!
Her father has never mentioned it to her.
But now it has always been known that her father betrayed the family and took her away. Maybe it was because he saw through this matter that he made the decision to leave the Tang family.
This question has troubled Tang Qing for many years, and she didn't expect to get the answer today.
But facing this tragic truth, the answer seems to no longer matter.
"My husband, no matter what you plan to do, I will stand by you and support you. Now that I know the despicable behavior of the ancestor of the Tang family, I will not hesitate at all. But as you said, Tang Tiangao is cautious and suspicious. If we can't lure him to show up, it will be too difficult to capture and kill him."
