"Eldest Senior Brother, why are you back so soon?"
Zhong Shan had just walked out of the hall when he heard Tian Ling 'er's question.
There were ten people standing in front of Tian Ling 'er, led by Tian Sha. Behind him were eight people, including Yunqian.
When Zhong Shan and Sorrowful Green Silk came out, Tian Sha stared at Sorrowful Green Silk.
"Hao San is dead, so we can only come back," a Mizar Sect disciple said immediately.
"Hao San is dead?" Sorrowful Green Silk asked as soon as she came out.
"He's dead. His lifespan was exhausted. He died at the foot of a mountain at midnight," Tian Sha said. His eyes were fixed on Sorrowful Green Silk.
Sorrowful Green Silk frowned when she saw Tian Sha's expression.
"What about Hao San's corpse? Didn't my father say that we could exchange it for a fourth-grade elixir if we brought it back to the sect? "Tian Ling 'er asked immediately.
"Fourth-grade elixir? Hao San's corpse is far more than that. At that time, there were more than five people in the Nascent Soul Realm, "a person behind Tian Sha said.
"Nascent Soul Realm?" Tian Ling 'er's eyes widened. There were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators chasing after a Connate Realm cultivator?
At this moment, only Zhong Shan knew how noble Hao San was. It could be seen from the Casting of the Heavenly Court that he had just obtained.
"Qing Si, Master asked me to accompany you to Eight Gate Mountain. Let's go now," Tian Sha suddenly said.
"There's no need. Eight Gate Mountain is not dangerous. I can go alone," Sorrowful Green Silk said after thinking for a while.
Tian Sha frowned when he heard Sorrowful Green Silk's words, but he still said firmly, "Since Master asked me to go with you, there must be a reason. Moreover, we will pass by Eight Gate Mountain on this trip. We can take care of each other on the way."
Sorrowful Green Silk thought for a while and turned to look at Zhong Shan. A trace of awkwardness flashed in her eyes, but she nodded in the end.
Tian Sha clearly saw Sorrowful Green Silk's subconscious change. Why did she look at that man? Tian Sha looked at Zhong Shan in confusion. This new disciple of the Mizar Sect? Why did Sorrowful Green Hair want to look at him? A hint of coldness flashed in Killer's eyes, but he hid it very well. He turned to Sorrow and nodded.
However, Zhong Shan clearly saw the cold glint that flashed across his eyes. Zhong Shan's expression did not change, but he kept the Assassin's coldness in mind and was on his guard at all times.
"Eldest Senior Brother." Tian Ling'er looked at Tian Sha and opened her mouth to speak.
At this moment, Tian Ling 'er didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, she would have definitely wanted to go to Eight Gate Mountain with the Assassins Organization. Moreover, Zhong Shan had already approved of it, so she should have mentioned it immediately. However, for some reason, Tian Ling' er hesitated. Glancing at Zhong Shan, she actually hesitated. Ling'er didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't know whether to look at Zhong Shan, hoping that he would stop her or encourage her.
"Ling'er, do you want to go to Eight Gate Mountain too?" Yunqian immediately asked with a smile.
When Yunqian asked, Tian Ling'er and Tian Sha both frowned.
Tian Sha didn't want Tian Ling'er to go. He didn't want Sorrow Ling'er to see Tian Ling'er's admiration for him. Tian Ling'er frowned, but for some reason, she glanced at Zhong Shan and nodded with a look of certainty.
Zhong Shan didn't stop her. Zhong Shan looked very calm. However, suddenly, Zhong Shan's pupils shrank. Then, he returned to normal.
"Ling'er, don't go. Stay and help me with something," Zhong Shan suddenly called out.
"Huh?" Tian Ling'er looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
Everyone also looked at Zhong Shan. Was he going to use the Osmanthus Cake to lure Tian Ling'er to stay again?
When Tian Sha heard Zhong Shan's words, he felt that he was a good person for the first time. He went with the flow and said, "Yeah, Ling'er, stay and help Zhong Shan."
Sorrow Ling'er also looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"Is it very important?" Tian Ling'er looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"Yes, I can't do it without you," Zhong Shan nodded and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Tian Ling'er nodded and said, "Alright."
If she had the chance to stay by Tian Sha's side before meeting Zhong Shan, even if her father scolded her, Tian Ling'er wouldn't have agreed. However, at this moment, Tian Ling'er was willing. It was as if she didn't have much interest in going with Tian Sha in the first place. Now that Zhong Shan wanted her to stay and Tian Sha wanted her to stay, Tian Ling'er agreed without any reluctance.
Seeing Tian Ling'er agree so readily, Tian Sha, who was originally hoping that Tian Ling'er would stay, frowned in confusion. It was as if he had lost something. He then looked at Zhong Shan but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"If that's the case, let's go," Tian Sha said to Sorrow Ling'er in confusion.
"Okay." Sorrow Ling'er nodded. Then, she bid farewell to Tian Ling'er and Zhong Shan. Then, she stepped on her flying sword and flew away with the rest.
Seeing Tian Sha fly away, Tian Ling'er was a little reluctant to part with him but it wasn't too heavy. She then turned to look at Zhong Shan.
"Zhong Shan, what's the matter?" Tian Ling'er asked naturally.
Seeing Tian Ling'er's calm attitude and thinking about Tian Ling'er's crying image, Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"There are a few experts who might be looking for trouble at my previous home. I might not be able to defeat them. Help me deal with them," Zhong Shan said after thinking for a while.
"Don't worry, if they're looking for trouble with you, they're looking for trouble with me. I'll definitely beat them up," Tian Ling'er said confidently.
Looking at Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan smiled and said, "Alright. Let's set off now. "
While facing Tian Sha and the rest. Daegun Province, Xuan City, Zhong Mansion.
Zhong Shan's body was hidden and he was sitting in the room cultivating. Suddenly, a white pigeon flew into the courtyard.
Hearing the chirping of the pigeon outside, Zhong Shan frowned and gently opened the door. He walked to the pigeon's house and took out a piece of paper from the pigeon's leg.
"Zhao Family Elder, Qian Family Elder, and Sun Family Elder have arrived at Xuan City."
In just a short sentence, Zhong Shan had a bad premonition. Although Xuan City was close to the capital, most of the people here were under Zhong Shan's control. The royal family and the four great clans didn't have much influence here. Why would the three old ancestors come to Xuan City at the same time? There was a high chance that they were plotting against the Zhong Family.
Looking at the sky outside the courtyard, Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes and let out a soft snort.
This was also the reason why Zhong Shan suddenly called out to Tian Ling'er.
Three days later, in the evening, Zhong Shan carried his broadsword and arrived at the entrance of the Zhong Mansion.
When they saw Zhong Shan, all the servants were stunned at first. Then, they were extremely respectful and bowed deeply to Zhong Shan.
Tian Ling'er followed behind Zhong Shan. Seeing so many servants bowing to Zhong Shan, her eyes were filled with curiosity.
Not far away, there was a five-storey building. Tian Ling'er immediately saw it.
"Zhong Shan, there's a tall building over there? I'll go take a look. "Tian Ling'er immediately called out.
"Mm." Zhong Shan nodded and accompanied Tian Ling'er to the pagoda-like building.
When the servants saw the lady calling out Old Master Zhong's name, they were all shocked. However, no one dared to say anything.
The building was five storeys high. When they reached the ground floor, Zhong Shan waved his hand and all the servants left.
Tian Ling'er quickly climbed up, but Zhong Shan walked to a corner. In the corner, a black shadow flashed and merged with Zhong Shan's body. The black shadow was Zhong Shan's Invisible Body. The Invisible Body merged with the main body.
Zhong Shan ordered a housekeeper not far away, "Clean up the Heavenly Fragrance Court. Later, the guest will stay there."
"Yes." The housekeeper immediately nodded in response.
Then, Zhong Shan chased up the stairs. When he caught up with Tian Ling'er, Tian Ling'er had already reached the top floor. From the top floor, she looked at the entire Xuan City. Looking at the busy streets, Tian Ling'er's eyes flashed with joy.
Seeing Zhong Shan come up, Tian Ling'er immediately said, "Zhong Shan, where is your enemy? I'll go beat him up."
Looking at Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan shook his head and smiled. "He'll be here in a few days. At that time, it won't be as simple as beating him up. It'll be a life and death battle."
"Oh." Tian Ling'er nodded. She clearly understood the seriousness of a life and death battle.
After dinner, Tian Ling'er once again tasted what was called delicious. Compared to the Rising Sun Sect, the food here was too delicious. How good would it be if the Rising Sun Sect was located here?
After sending off Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan returned to a small courtyard and quickly checked the latest information.
Three experts. Their cultivation bases were unknown. However, they had all entered the immortal sect fifty-two years ago. Their cultivation bases were unfathomable.
"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking came from the door.
Zhong Shan frowned. Looking at the door across the courtyard, he asked, "Who is it?"
"Master, there's a visitor with a gold medallion." The housekeeper's voice came from outside.
Gold medallion? Zhong Shan had given out gold, silver, and bronze medallions to people with different relationships. Gold medallion? That was the highest level. Who was it?
Zhong Shan put down the information in his hand and walked into the courtyard. Outside, there was a black-robed man wearing a bamboo hat standing behind the housekeeper.
"You can leave," said Zhong Shan to the housekeeper.
"Yes." The housekeeper immediately replied and left.
"Dark Emperor, come in," said Zhong Shan to the black-robed man.
"Yes, master," said the man.
Seeing that the Dark Emperor was still calling him master, Zhong Shan shook his head and didn't say anything.
Only after entering Zhong Shan's courtyard did the man take off his bamboo hat.
"I didn't think there would be a day when you would come out in the open." Zhong Shan closed the door and smiled.
"Master's house is filled with traps. I can only come out in the open," said the Dark Emperor respectfully.
Seeing the Dark Emperor's solemn expression, Zhong Shan felt helpless. He brought the Dark Emperor to the main hall.
"Master, I recently received news that the Zhao Clan, Qian Clan, and Sun Clan are trying to harm you." The Dark Emperor said in a deep voice as soon as he entered the hall.
"Of course. If I hadn't reached the Xiantian realm, they would've just let me die of old age. But now that I've reached the Xiantian realm, my lifespan has increased by two hundred years. Those thousand-year-old families are naturally afraid." Zhong Shan frowned.
"Master is too powerful. That's why those three families are so anxious to make a move," said the Dark Emperor.
"Three families? That's not all. This time, it's not just those three families. The Li family and the Su family will definitely send people. "Zhong Shan's eyes shone with wisdom.
"Master, should we avoid them for now?" The Dark Emperor looked at Zhong Shan.
"Avoid them? We'll talk about it when the time comes. I spent a great deal of effort to build the Zhong residence in Xuan City. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't abandon it, "said Zhong Shan.
"Yes." The Dark Emperor nodded.
"Since you're here, you can stay here for now. Don't provoke the Heavenly Ling 'er from the Heavenly Fragrance Court," said Zhong Shan.
"Yes." The Dark Emperor nodded.
"Master, do we need to use the Dark Night Hall?" asked the Dark Emperor.
"The Dark Night Hall. It's time for the Dark Night Hall to make a move. In a few days, I'll compile a list of names and give it to you. Wait for my orders. We're still missing a few things." Zhong Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Yes." The Dark Emperor nodded.
