The Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect rested in the secret cave for seven days. He only left after his wounds had completely healed. His figure turned into a blurry afterimage, as if he had become one with the space around him. He silently left with an unbelievable speed.
Half a day later, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect appeared ten thousand kilometers away. In the end, he entered the depths of a primitive mountain range.
In the depths of this primitive mountain range, in an area where no one had set foot in, there was a villa that very few people knew about. It was dead silent in the villa, and not a single sound could be heard. Not a single person could be seen for a long time, but the ground was clean and spotless.
The Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect descended from the sky. He hovered ten meters above the ground and said, "The Dragon Tiger Sect has come to visit the Sihe Villa!" The Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect's voice was very gentle, but it seemed to be filled with endless magic. It reverberated in every corner of the villa.
Not many people in the outside world knew about the Sihe Villa because it was a reclusive sect. They cultivated in seclusion deep in the mountains all year round. They almost never stepped out. For thousands of years, they had never interfered with the matters of the outside world. Only when they were recruiting disciples would the people of the Sihe Villa go out and look for suitable people with good talent to accept into the sect and continue the sect's legacy.
Only a few large powers and sects on the Tian Yuan Continent knew about the existence of the Sihe Villa, and the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect was one of them.
"It's a pleasure to have a friend from afar. Situ Qing, you haven't come to my place for nearly a hundred years. Hurry up and come in. It's time for the two of us to catch up." The villa was still very calm, but a vigorous and powerful voice came from inside.
The Saint King of the Dragon Tiger Sect laughed loudly and flew into the air. Finally, he stopped in front of the majestic hall in the middle of the villa. A middle-aged man in a black robe was already waiting in front of the hall.
"Senior, my master is already waiting inside. Please come in!" The middle-aged man said to the Saint Ruler in a low voice. He was very respectful.
The middle-aged man was only a Heaven Saint Master, so he was nothing in the eyes of a Saint Ruler. The Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger did not even glance at him as he walked in with his head held high.
This was a very simple hall. The walls made of wooden planks had been there for an unknown number of years. They were simple and old, leaving behind traces of time. It looked like a poor farmhouse. In the middle of the hall, there was a very old round wooden table. An old man in sackcloth was sitting there, leisurely drinking tea. The fragrance of the tea permeated the entire hall. Just a whiff of it would make one feel relaxed and happy. One could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary tea. The fragrance of the tea seemed to be the only precious thing here.
The Saint King of the Dragon and Tiger Sect walked in and sat down across from the old man. He looked at the old man who was slowly sipping his tea and said, "You really know how to enjoy life. I haven't seen you for so many years and you're still the same."
"I've always been like this. I don't touch the dust, I don't touch the dirt. I live the life I want to live. I stay away from worldly affairs and only pursue the peak in my heart." The old man chuckled.
The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect stared at the old man for a short while before sighing, "I can't see through you at all. Your strength has far surpassed mine."
"Only by letting go of your body and mind can you surpass yourself and break through the barriers and shackles of the world. Situ Qing, a hundred years have already passed and your strength is still at the same level as before. In my opinion, you should just become a hermit in the Dragon and Tiger Sect and ignore the matters of the outside world. Who cares about who lives and who dies, who wins and who loses. None of this has anything to do with you. What's the difference between your half-addicted state and entering the world?" The old man said calmly.
After a moment of silence, the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect said, "Let's talk about this in the future. Ge Qiu, actually, I wouldn't have come here for no reason. I have come this time because I have a request."
The old man slowly drank all the tea in his cup and gently placed the empty cup on the table. He said, "I know. I can already tell that you were injured recently. You must have caused trouble outside again."
The Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect nodded. His eyes suddenly became cold and he said, "Ge Qiu, I hope you can help me this time because my enemy is just too terrifying. I can't give him any more time, or I won't be able to escape death in the future."
"Sigh!" The old man sighed deeply and said, "Situ Qing, your resentment is too heavy. It won't be good for you if this continues. If you can resolve this matter, then resolve it. There's no need to fight to the death."
The Saint King of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Situ Qing, shook his head and said, "Impossible. The enemy is a cruel and merciless person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. His hatred for me is deep and cannot be resolved. Only one of us can survive."
Situ Qing paused. She gritted her teeth and said, "And with my status, I can't just lose face by asking a junior to resolve the matter, let alone whether he agrees or not."
"Situ Qing, you know me. Even though we have a deep friendship, I won't help you kill." The old man in linen robes sighed.
"I know. Ge Qiu, I don't want you to help me kill. There are a total of three Saint Rulers, and the strongest is only at the Third Heavenly Layer. You just need to stop two of them for me," Situ Qing said with some pleading in her voice.
After a moment of hesitation, the old man said, "Alright. Situ Qing, I'll help you this time because of our friendship. However, this is a private matter between the two of us. It has nothing to do with the Sihe Manor, and I won't help you kill anyone."
…
After agreeing on a time with the old man, Situ Qing left the Sihe Manor and hurried off in another direction. After several hours of traveling, she finally arrived in an extremely well-hidden cave.
Inside the cave, there was a burning torch. The dancing flames illuminated and dispelled the darkness inside. In front of the fire, there was an old man in green clothes sitting cross-legged on a huge rock with his eyes closed. He seemed to have entered a deep level of cultivation and did not notice that an outsider had intruded at all.
Situ Qing did not suppress his footsteps. He walked into the cave step by step. Looking at the elder sitting cross-legged on the huge rock, he said, "Bihai, 30 years have passed. How are your injuries?"
"I recovered over twenty years ago. Situ Qing, speak. Why have you come looking for me?" The azure-robed old man on the boulder said. His voice was extremely flat.
"Bi Hai, I've come looking for you this time because I hope you can help me with something," said Situ Qing.
"Over thirty years ago, you saved my life. At that time, I said that I, Bi Hai, owed you a favor and could help you do anything within my power unconditionally. This time, you want to use this favor to make me do things for you?" The azure-robed old man still had his eyes closed. He didn't even look at Situ Qing.
Situ Qing hesitated. It was not easy to get the old man to owe her a favor. She wondered if it was worth it to use this favor to deal with Jianchen.
"Whatever. Jianchen's talent is just too terrifying. I need to get rid of him at all costs. I can't waste any more time." A sliver of viciousness flashed through Situ Qing's eyes when she thought up to there. She gritted her teeth, "Alright. Bi Hai, I'll use the favor you owe me to deal with someone."
"What's the opponent's strength? When do you want to do it?" The old man asked indifferently.
"He's just a junior. With your strength, it's easy to kill him. The sooner the better. It's best if you go now," said Situ Qing.
"If that's the case, let's go." The old man finally opened his eyes. His body quietly floated to the ground.
"Bi Hai, after this matter, why don't you come to our Dragon Tiger Sect?" Situ Qing looked at the old man with some hope.
The green-robed elder shook his head and replied expressionlessly, "My enemy is very powerful. Even I am unable to deal with him, much less your Sect of Dragon and Tiger. Aren't you afraid that this will bring a calamity upon your Sect of Dragon and Tiger?"
Situ Qing's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She immediately stopped talking. Although she really wanted to rope in such an expert, the latter's enemy made her extremely wary. She did not dare to take the risk.
…
Jianchen, Nubis, and Jiede Tai had remained in the Flame Mercenaries for the past few days. On one hand, it was to prevent the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect from attacking again. On the other hand, it was to act as a great deterrent to the other large clans and organizations, preventing them from causing trouble for the Flame Mercenaries while they mined the tungsten alloy.
