Indeed, with Tang Long's current strength, no matter how much of a genius he was, he would never have come into contact with something of this level.
He would not even qualify as cannon fodder if he got involved in such a high-level matter.
Elder Black bringing Tang Long to his death? It did not make sense either.
Why would Elder Black go through such a troublesome method to deal with Tang Long? It was funnier than a joke.
Therefore, Elder Black's actions were a little confusing.
However, speculations were useless now. Tang Long was saved by Elder Black after all, so it was natural for him to follow Elder Black.
Jian Fei and No. 1 could not come to a conclusion either. No matter what era it was, life had to go on.
Where should I go next? Hmm, I'll go to Iron-Blooded City first! When winter comes, I'll go to the True Capital.
The War God Path won't be easy this time, will it? Jian Fei felt like it was time for him to warm up.
Yes, he wanted to join the War God Path as well.
However, he did not know if the nine castellans would return by then.

Darkness Port, Island District.
The real island district did not just refer to the big island, Black Dark Island. It also included many smaller islands around Black Dark Island.
In the island district, those with mediocre abilities would stay in their own mansions on the big island.
Those with better abilities could own their own island.
Butterfly Wing Island was one of the smaller islands on Black Dark Island. Just like its name, the island was shaped like a butterfly's wings and it looked like it was about to fly away.
Butterfly Wing Island was beautiful. It had two mountains that faced each other and were not considered short. The vegetation on the mountain extended all the way to the seaside.
The coastline was not short, and the rare thing was that most of the coastline was made up of fine sand.
In the old civilization, it would definitely be a top tourist attraction for a niche audience.
However, this was the Purple Moon era, so it belonged to Elder Black.
Elder Black's house was on the left side of the two mountains on the island and it occupied an entire mountain.
The main body of the building was made out of a special kind of large seashells, but the main building was actually a big wooden ship.
From afar, Elder Black's house looked like a big ship surrounded by a bunch of seashells.
Elder Black was currently sitting at the bow of the giant ship. Beside him was a servant who had accompanied him for almost 30 years, a fat cook who looked very strong.
Elder Black sat there, basking in the sun. The cook also sat to the side, peeling a delicious but abnormally hard fish.
She was very serious. Every piece of fish that came out of her hand was an even oval, and every piece was so thin that sunlight could pass through.
It was this thickness that made it easy to chew the fish. If one didn't want to chew it, one could put it in the mouth and slowly sip it. There was also a kind of salty taste mixed with sweetness.
It was a perfect accompaniment to wine.
However, cutting this kind of fish was a hard skill. Without enough strength, it was impossible to cut off a single piece of meat from this fish. If one were to cut randomly, the texture of the fish would be destroyed, and the taste would be much worse.
Nature had always been mysterious. Even if it was just a piece of fish, there were mysteries hidden within.
Elder Black loved to hold this kind of fish in his mouth and drink two cups of it.
This would remind him of the most impoverished years of his youth, the days when he had no money and couldn't afford to buy food to go with wine. He would take a marinated Crimson Sea Grass, drink a cup, and take two sips of the Crimson Sea Grass, which could be used to accompany the wine.
Time really flew by too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the Purple Moon era had established a brand new order and created a civilization that was completely different from the old civilization.
Soon … He was about to leave. Was this era going to experience another upheaval? Who knows? The appearance of an emperor was bound to cause unrest.
But where was the Emperor? Perhaps he was still playing in the mud in some unknown place? Or is he … Tang Ling?
At this time, the fat female chef had finished cutting a plate of fish and placed it beside Senior Black.
After dealing with the fish fillet, she prepared to quickly deal with the black-patterned silver shell next to Elder Black.
Many people would pronounce the name 'black patterned silver shell' as' black patterned silver shell ', but the fat chef was a very particular person. How could she pronounce such a precious ingredient's name incorrectly? If she mispronounced the name of the ingredient, the dish she made would be disrespectful to the owner.
With that thought in mind, the fat chef was a little delighted and her hands moved faster.
The most important aspect of cooking the black-patterned silver shell was freshness. When it was thrown into boiling water, it was best if it was still alive.
Otherwise, its meat would reek with an unpleasant fishy smell.
However, there was a black thread in the meat of the black-striped silver shell. If it was not cleaned before eating, its meat would be filled with a bitter taste. But if it was pulled out, it would basically die immediately.
Therefore, only an experienced chef could deal with the black-patterned silver shell!
How to deal with it? It was all about speed! The quickest way was to pry open the shell and use the fastest and most delicate method to grab the end of the black thread and pull it out like lightning. Before the black-patterned silver shell shrank for the last time before it died, the chef would throw it into the boiling water.
The black-patterned silver shell was neither fishy nor bitter.
As long as the boiling water cooked its tender meat and scooped it out, the best purple spring onion in the Purple Moon Era would be sprinkled on it and it would be the ultimate delicacy.
The fat chef was extra meticulous because her master did not hide anything from her, including the fact that he would be leaving Darkness Port for quite some time. Would he be able to come back safely?
The fat chef automatically ignored the second half of the sentence. Since her master was leaving, before he left, she would try her best to cook his favorite dishes. All she had to do was wait.
She believed that everything would be the same as before, waiting for her master to come back one day and tell her, "Hot pot of wine and side dishes. Do as you see fit."
A plate of black-patterned silver shell with a delicious aroma was prepared.
The fat chef served it to Elder Black, but she realized that he did not seem to have an appetite. Unlike before, when the black-patterned silver shell was placed on the table, Elder Black would grab it and gulp it down. He did not even touch the plate of fish.
"Master, is it not to your taste?" The fat chef furrowed her brows and her face scrunched up.
"No, I want to treat someone to a meal. Bring these two dishes to Tang Long and a pot of cochineal wine. Then, make me another one. I'm craving it. I'm drooling. "Elder Black smiled with squinted eyes.
"But he doesn't eat anything." The fat chef wrinkled her nose and said with some dissatisfaction.
She hated people who wasted food the most.
"It's fine. Bring it to him. Tell him that we're leaving tomorrow. You have to drink some wine and eat some dishes, "Elder Hei said slowly.
"T-Isn't there a few more days? How did it become tomorrow? "The fat chef's eyes turned red.
"Three days ago, I said seven days at most. But I didn't say how many days before we leave. Now that the preparations are faster than expected, let's leave as soon as possible. "Elder Black took a sip of wine and said," Let's hope that we can come back as soon as possible. "
"Fine. Come back as soon as possible. I'll bring the food and wine over. " The fat chef seemed to have received a great comfort, and the tears in her eyes slowly faded away.
She brought the food and wine to Tang Long's room.
Elder Black, on the other hand, enjoyed the beautiful sunset of Darkness Port and drank cup after cup of wine.
An hour later.
Elder Black finished the fish fillet and the black-patterned silver shell that the fat chef made for him.
He also drank two small pots of his favorite cochineal wine.
At his level of strength, even if the fat chef made 100 times the amount, Elder Black would still be able to finish it.
Even if there were 10 big pots of wine, he would still be able to finish them all.
However, at his age, he understood that sometimes, just enough was enough. Going too far was as bad as falling short.
Therefore, he did not know if this trip to the Human Ancestral Temple could be considered as an act of going too far.
With that in mind, Elder Black strode to Tang Long's room.
It was one of the better rooms in Elder Black's spacious residence. When he opened the window, he could see the entire Dark Island and the ship area that was high up on the cliff.
He could see the waves crashing on the beach and the beautiful sunrise and sunset.
However, Tang Long's window was never opened. He even drew the thick curtains.
On the floor, on the table, and in every corner of the room, there were messy papers.
The papers were written in Huaxia. The words were clean and powerful. Looking at the words was like looking at Tang Long himself.
As for the content, it was a Buddhist scripture from the old civilization. It was Elder Black's precious original copy.
Tang Long was sitting in the room. He had finished the wine and the food.
"You're willing to eat and drink now?" Elder Black walked to the window, pulled the curtains open, and kicked the window open.
The gentle red light of the sunset spilled into the room and shone on Tang Long's handsome face as if it was plated with a layer of light.
A young man like him was not bad after all.
Elder Black sighed as he sat across from Tang Long.
"Hmm, it's delicious." Tang Long looked up at Elder Black with a rare smile.
"Why are you willing to eat and drink now?"
"Because I'm leaving tomorrow. I suddenly want to have a memorable meal before I die. I didn't care about the taste before. "Tang Long raised a brow and smiled." I don't drink anymore. When I did, I didn't know what it tasted like. All I remember is my sadness. "
"It's not like I have to die." Elder Black shook his head.
"You didn't lie to me. What are the chances of me surviving?" Tang Long was calm.
"It seems like you've calmed down a lot after copying the scriptures for a few days." Elder Black did not deny it as he looked at the papers in the room.
"Maybe it's because of the scriptures, or maybe I just want to calm down." Tang Long turned around and squinted at the sunset further away.
"We're leaving tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to do in Darkness Port?" Elder Black's gaze suddenly turned heavy. "Yes.
I'd like to go out for a bit. Can I trouble you to send me to the deck area? "Tang Long stood up.
"I'll tidy up a bit and then we'll leave." Tang Long could not change his clean and tidy appearance.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Elder Black nodded.
