The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were not surprised that someone would come to the Heaven Dao Pavilion. This was because today was a special day. It was so special that it was not surprising for some people to come.
However …
Weren't there too many of them?!
As they stared at the moving black cloud, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"They're from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain!"
"There are at least 300 of them!"
"Although the Nine Pinnacles Mountain has more disciples than the Heaven Dao Pavilion, what are they trying to do by sending 300 of them at once?"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the black figures standing on the backs of the beasts and the Nine Pinnacles Illustration tattooed on their chests. Naturally, they could guess who they were.
However, they did not know what the Nine Pinnacles Mountain's motive was.
Trouble?
Almost in an instant, everyone thought of this word.
Then, all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples naturally turned to look at Chi Guyan. However, they only glanced at her.
In an instant, the sword light danced.
A sword formation formed by a few hundred Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples was formed.
No one asked Chi Guyan how she offended the Nine Pinnacles Mountain because there was no need for that. They only needed to know that Chi Guyan was a member of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the most beloved disciple of Pavilion Leader Mu Qingfeng. She was respected by all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. That was enough.
"Roar roar …"
Countless beasts roared furiously as they approached the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, they did not land on the ground. Instead, they circled around the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Eh? What's wrong with the Heaven Dao Pavilion? " A voice that carried slight surprise resounded from the sky, and then a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the sword formation.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a loose black robe. His long hair draped over his shoulders, but his hair was carefully combed into nine thin braids, and each braid was tied with a golden cauldron-shaped ornament.
He had slightly thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and thick lips. He did not look too special.
Furthermore, compared to Mu Qingfeng, this middle-aged man looked much younger.
However, when all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this middle-aged man, they subconsciously tightened their grip on their swords. This was because the middle-aged man exuded a terrifying aura.
It was as heavy as a mountain.
Even though there was no anger on the middle-aged man's face at this moment, and there was even a faint smile on his face, the heavy pressure still pressed down on their bodies as if it was solid.
Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
Tianxing.
"I wonder why Leader Tian has brought so many people to the Heaven Dao Pavilion?" A disciple standing at the front of the Sword Formation took a step forward with some effort and bowed to Tian Xing.
"It's a small matter. I heard that Chi Guyan was injured in Nine Pinnacles Mountain's territory. I feel a little apologetic, so I'm here to apologize to Pavilion Master Mu. At the same time, I'll bring Chi Guyan to Nine Pinnacles Mountain to recuperate for a period of time, so that people won't say that Nine Pinnacles Mountain doesn't treat its guests well." Tian Xing smiled gently and returned the greeting.
"Bring junior sister to Nine Pinnacles Mountain to recuperate?" When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple at the front heard this, he seemed a little surprised. After all, it did not seem like they were here to apologize.
Moreover, taking ten thousand steps back …
The relationship between the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain was not so good that the Leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain had to personally invite a disciple to recuperate when he was injured in Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
However, he could not ask any further.
Because his status was not high enough.
So …
He could only move aside and slowly take a step back. He looked at Mu Qingfeng, who was behind the Sword Formation.
"Let Leader Tian come over." Mu Qingfeng's voice rang out at this moment. However, as he spoke, he could not help but frown.
He naturally knew why Tian Xing was here.
In the entire Heaven Dao Pavilion, only Mu Qingfeng and Yue 'er knew where Chi Guyan had gone and what she had gone to do.
However, this was no longer important.
What was important was that the people from Nine Pinnacles Mountain had arrived.
Furthermore, they had come in such a manner. Even though Tian Xing had a friendly smile on his face, even though the "dark cloud" had yet to descend, Tian Xing's expression changed.
…
The Sword Formation formed by the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples quickly made way for a path.
Tian Xing was not surprised. He slowly walked forward and passed through the middle of the Sword Formation. His loose black robe fluttered in the mountain wind.
Very quickly, Tian Xing arrived in front of Mu Qingfeng.
Then, his gaze naturally fell on Fang Zhengzhi, who was in Mu Qingfeng's arms. However, he only glanced at him for a moment. Then, he turned to look at Chi Guyan.
"I'm really sorry. I actually allowed you to be injured in Nine Pinnacles Mountain's territory. It was indeed our oversight!" Tian Xing bowed slightly. Then, he continued, "However, don't worry, my dear niece. Our Nine Pinnacles Mountain has come with sincerity. I have specially sent someone to the Black Moon Island to pluck the Thousand Years Fire Herb from the three Sages of the Black Moon Island and refine it into a pill. Once you return to Nine Pinnacles Mountain, your injuries will definitely recover quickly!"
"Thousand Years Fire Herb?!"
"The Thousand Years Fire Herb of the Black Moon Island?"
"How … how is this possible?"
"Leader Tian wants to use the Thousand Years Fire Herb of the Black Moon Island to apologize? Did I hear wrongly? That is one of the most valuable treasures of Nine Pinnacles Mountain! "
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard Tian Xing's words, they were all shocked.
Of course, they could tell that Tian Xing did not come with good intentions. However, if he really did not come with good intentions, why would he pluck the Thousand Years Fire Herb?
Was this a joke?
Naturally, no one would think so.
This was because he was the leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing. Tian Xing had an elegant nickname in the Five Sects …
A man of his word.
His meaning was clear. As long as Tian Xing said it, he would definitely fulfill it. Furthermore, Tian Xing was standing in the Heaven Dao Pavilion and saying this in front of all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
"Leader Tian, you don't have to be so courteous. Guyan's injuries are not serious. She just needs to rest in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for a few days and she will recover. There's no need to trouble yourself!" Mu Qingfeng did not look at the shocked Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. Instead, he shook his head and replied.
"Pavilion Leader Mu, you're wrong. The five sects are of the same root. I remember that Pavilion Leader Mu was the one who said that, right? Why do we have to differentiate between us? I, Tian Xing, have always been a man of my words. Since I said that I would use the Thousand Years Fire Herb to heal you, I will not be stingy. Pavilion Leader Mu, please rest assured and let me take care of you. A month later, Pavilion Leader Mu can come to Nine Pinnacles Mountain to personally bring you back. If you suffer any injuries then, I will use my life as an apology! "Tian Xing smiled gently and insisted.
When the surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they all furrowed their brows. They had no idea what Tian Xing was planning.
He brought 300 Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples all the way to the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Just to make amends?
Furthermore, he even promised to use the Thousand Years Fire Herb to heal Chi Guyan. No matter how they looked at it, this was a little unbelievable.
How could there be such a good thing?
One must know that the Thousand Years Fire Herb was not only a supreme treasure for healing injuries, but it also contained the essence of Heaven and Earth. Even if one ate a small piece, it would be enough to benefit from it.
Shock. Doubt.
These were the thoughts of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
However, to Mu Qingfeng, Tian Xing's words were like a long sword that pierced his heart. He opened his mouth a few times, but he could not speak.
Just as Tian Xing had said …
The phrase 'five sects from the same root' came from his mouth.
As for the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
Of course, he knew that it was already in Chi Guyan's hands. If it wasn't, Tian Xing wouldn't have brought 300 Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples here, nor would he have said that he would use the Thousand Years Fire Herb to treat Chi Guyan's injuries.
Because he knew, he could not speak.
Mu Qingfeng was not afraid of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, but he had to consider the phrase 'five sects from the same root'.
If Tian Xing had come and demanded that Chi Guyan hand over the Thousand Years Fire Herb, or pointed out that Chi Guyan had gone to Black Moon Island to pluck the Thousand Years Fire Herb, then the matter would have been easily resolved.
He would have just asked for compensation. The worst case scenario would be a fight.
However, Tian Xing obviously did not intend to use this method to let the Heaven Dao Pavilion off. Or rather, to resolve this matter. Tian Xing's motive was much more terrifying than what Mu Qingfeng had imagined. He used the phrase 'five sects from the same root'.
In other words …
Right now, Mu Qingfeng could not admit that he knew that Chi Guyan had gone to Black Moon Island to pluck the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
Once he admitted it, it would be equivalent to disregarding the phrase 'five sects from the same root'. This would be a breach of his promise. At the same time, it would give the Nine Pinnacles Mountain an excuse to spread the news and join forces with the other four sects to suppress the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, if he did not admit it …
How could he reject Tian Xing's' good intentions'?
There was no way he could reject it.
Mu Qingfeng fell silent. Just as Chi Guyan had said, she had brought trouble with her. Furthermore, this trouble seemed to be more troublesome than he had imagined.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a loud and clear beast roar rang out from the distant horizon.
It was a beast roar from the north. It was clear and penetrating. Compared to the beasts that the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were riding on, it was obviously wilder.
Mu Qingfeng raised his head slightly and looked towards the north. In the northern horizon, there were three black dots that were slowly becoming bigger.
"Tian Xing, you …" Mu Qingfeng's expression changed. This was an expression that was rarely seen on Mu Qingfeng's face. Even when Fang Zhengzhi used the Dragon Dances Eight Realms, he did not show such an expression.
"I have specially found a few witnesses. I did this because I was afraid that Pavilion Master Mu would be worried. I believe that with Yin Yang Hall, Fu Xi Valley, and Ling Yun Tower as witnesses, Pavilion Master Mu should be able to rest assured and hand Chi Guyan over to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain." Tian Xing looked at Mu Qingfeng and his smile became even wider.
Everyone knew Chi Guyan's position in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
No one could imagine what Mu Qingfeng would do for Chi Guyan. Of course, if Chi Guyan was not a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but a disciple of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing did not know how much he would protect her.
Bring 300 Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples to the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
Start a bloody battle in the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
Tian Xing had thought about it before.
This was because ever since the Nine Pinnacles Mountain was built, they had never been provoked like this. Suddenly, they were attacked by someone out of the blue.
Then, the three Sages were all severely injured. The Thousand Years Fire Herb that they had guarded for countless years was snatched away. Not only that, they even sank the Black Moon Island!
No one could bear to lose a piece of land in the territory that they had painstakingly built …
What was the difference between this and stabbing someone in the chest?
Tian Xing had come to the Heaven Dao Pavilion to return a 'huge gift' to the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Since you sank one of my islands, I naturally have to cut off a piece of your 'flesh'. Furthermore, it was a piece of your 'flesh'.
"Roar!"
The beast's roar was getting closer.
Three figures descended from the sky.
Two men and one woman.
Furthermore, they were an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.
The one in the middle was an old man with a white beard. His grey and white robe was embroidered with two extremely ancient words, 'Fu Xi'.
On the right of the old man was a middle-aged man. He wore a long white robe and a single sleeved black outer robe. On the black outer robe, there was a Yin Yang Diagram.
On the left of the old man was a young woman.
She wore a long purple dress and her black hair fell to her waist. On her head, there was a flower made of bronze. It did not look luxurious, but it exuded a sense of simplicity.
The mountain breeze blew past, but it did not ruffle the woman's hair. She stood there quietly, like a still painting. However, there was a hint of arrogance on her face.
If Fang Zhengzhi had not fainted, he would have recognized this young woman. She was the one who took Ping Yang away from the Flame Capital City …
Ling Yun Tower, Cang Yue.
The three figures landed not far from Tian Xing's side.
As such, the moment the three of them landed, they bowed towards Mu Qingfeng and Tian Xing. Then, they looked at the scene of the Heaven Academic Altar being destroyed in shock.
As for the other gaze …
She was still looking at Mu Qingfeng.
Or rather, she was looking at Fang Zhengzhi, who Mu Qingfeng was carrying.
This gaze naturally belonged to Cang Yue. Her expression did not change much, but there was an obvious flash of light in her eyes.
However, very quickly, she retracted her gaze.
"Pavilion Leader Mu, I heard that your beloved disciple, Chi Guyan, was severely injured in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Leader Tian felt deeply guilty and wanted to pluck the Thousand Years Fire Herb to heal her. Hence, he invited 'Gu Yuan' here as a witness. Is this true?" The white-bearded old man in the middle asked softly.
"Elder Gu, you have traveled thousands of miles to the Heaven Dao Pavilion. You must have taken a lot of trouble." Mu Qingfeng did not reply to Gu Yuan directly. Instead, he replied calmly.
