"I, I won't let you go, I won't let you go, I won't let you go!" The little girl rushed over and sobbed.
"Alright, Niu Niu, stop it!" The hunchbacked old man's face was full of affection. He patted the little girl's back and smiled. "Life and death reincarnation, this is the basic law of the world. Other than the legendary Great Emperor who can live forever, no one else is an exception!"
"We are only mortals, but grandfather has lived for a hundred and eight years. This is really enough!"
"I, sob sob sob …!" The little girl cried even more sadly.
When Xiao Fan heard the hunchbacked old man's words, he was suddenly moved. He lowered his eyes and did not say a word.
Indeed, he could live forever. As long as he was not killed by outsiders, he could definitely live until the end of the world. However, his parents, younger brothers, and the rest could not be like him. When the time came, even if he risked his life to extend their lifespans, they would still end up like the hunchbacked old man in front of him. When the time came, no one could save them!
When the time came, what would he do? Would he be like the little girl in front of him, with a face full of reluctance, sorrow, and pain?
He did not know!
Therefore, there were only two things he could do now. First, find a way to extend his lifespan as much as possible. Second, reunite with his family as much as possible and cherish every bit of good time!
"Alright, alright, don't cry, Niu Niu, don't cry!" The hunchbacked old man comforted the little girl for a long time before she completely accepted the fact that she was going to die. Then, he looked calmly at Xiao Fan and said, "Sir, I heard from Niu Niu that you are looking for that village in the Black Dragon Mountain Range?"
"Yes!" Xiao Fan raised his head and nodded.
"Then may I ask, why are you looking for them?" Although the hunchbacked old man's face was calm, a glint flashed in his eyes as he asked.
"I don't have any ill intentions. I only have good intentions!" Xiao Fan didn't explain too much and simply said.
"Alright, I believe you!" The hunchbacked old man sized up Xiao Fan a few times before he finally nodded and said, "In the entire Zhenshan City, only Niu Niu and I know about that village in the Black Dragon Mountain Range. No one else knows about it!"
"Oh?" Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Those people have always been cautious!" The hunchbacked old man nodded and said, "The reason I know about them is very simple. My daughter married into that village, so I became the only link between them and the outside world!"
"Then where is their village?" Xiao Fan asked.
"I can't describe it to you in words!" The hunchbacked old man smiled bitterly. "Because of the complicated terrain of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, I can't give you directions verbally!"
"However, Niu Niu knows how to get there because my daughter, Niu Niu's aunt, has brought Niu Niu there a few times. So, if you want to go, you can bring Niu Niu. She will show you the way!" The hunchbacked old man said softly.
"Alright!" Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Then I'm in a hurry. If possible, I would like to set off now!"
"Sir, I'm afraid this will be a little difficult!" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the hunchbacked old man was startled for a moment before he smiled bitterly. "It's already late at night. It's not impossible to travel through the night, but the terrain of the Black Dragon Mountain Range is strange. Once night falls, neither Niu Niu nor I will be able to determine the right direction. So … please forgive us, sir!"
"Then … let's set off early tomorrow morning!" Xiao Fan frowned but did not say anything. He quickly relaxed and regained his calm before he nodded and said.
If they could only set off tomorrow morning, then it would be tomorrow night when they returned to Sun Moon City. Man proposes, God disposes!
"Sir, if you don't mind, you can come in and rest for the night!" The hunchbacked old man smiled.
"It's fine. I'll just stay outside. It's not a problem!" Xiao Fan tactfully declined. Then, he turned around and let the white jade tiger lie down in the grass in front of the courtyard. Xiao Fan then used the white jade tiger's body as a soft bed to rest.
After looking deeply at Xiao Fan, the hunchbacked old man did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around with great effort and pulled the little girl back into the cave.
The surroundings quickly regained its calm. Only the bright moonlight shone on the ground, and the air was filled with tranquility.
.....
At the same time, in Sun Moon City!
Mo Xiao, Fairy Moonlight, Lin Shan, Sword Snow Saintess, and Void Cloud Saint quickly arrived at a private courtyard of Fairy Moonlight. As the night deepened, Mo Xiao, Fairy Moonlight, and Lin Shan quickly entered the night. As for Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint, they quietly got up and left the place, walking towards the distance quickly.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint arrived at a secret alley. After entering the alley, they came to a door that emitted a majestic aura.
Standing in front of the door, Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint were reluctant to push the door open. They just stood there with pale faces and looked at the door in front of them with struggling eyes.
Suddenly!
The door was opened from the inside. A tall, middle-aged Daoist nun with cold eyes slowly walked out. Then, she stopped and stood at the door, looking indifferently at the Sword Snow Saintess and the Void Cloud Saintess at the bottom of the stairs.
She was Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint's master, one of the elders of Water Cloud Holy Land, Yan Qin!
"Master!" Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint said with trembling voices.
"Come in!" Yan Qin glanced at the two of them indifferently. Then, she turned her head and went inside. At the same time, she said coldly without looking back.
"Yes!" Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint had no choice. They lowered their heads and trembled uncontrollably as they followed Yan Qin in.
Then, the door slowly closed by itself!
Along the way, Yan Qin didn't speak. Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint didn't dare to speak either. The three of them quickly passed through a corridor and came to a brightly lit hall.
In the hall, dozens of elders of Water Cloud Holy Land sat indifferently. They raised their heads and looked indifferently at Yan Qin, Sword Snow Saintess, and Void Cloud Saint who walked in.
"Unfilial disciple, kneel down when you see the lords!" Yan Qin stood aside and shouted at Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Holy Son sternly.
The Holy Maiden of Sword Snow and the Holy Son of Void Cloud panicked when they heard Yan Qin's shout. Then, their knees buckled, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the elders of the Watercloud Holy Land.
"Alright, don't be nervous. Get up!" Han Feng sat calmly at the front. He looked at Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint who were kneeling in front of him and said indifferently.
Today, it was fortunate that the Seventh Forefather had ordered Han Feng to go outside the city to find Xiao Fan's whereabouts. Therefore, he was lucky enough to escape death while everyone else was dead.
"I won't beat around the bush. I'll get straight to the point. Today, I've asked the two of you to come here to give you a chance to atone for your sins!" Han Feng said indifferently. "Here's a portion of demonic poison. The two of you will find an opportunity to poison Mo Xiao, Fairy Moonlight, and Xiao Fan's disciple, Lin Shan!"
"As long as you succeed, the two of you will be innocent. Not only are you innocent, but you'll also be rewarded greatly. If you don't do it, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately carried a tray with a thumb-sized black porcelain bottle on it. He then placed it in front of Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint.
"Demonic poison?"
Looking at the thumb-sized black porcelain bottle in front of them, Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint's pupils suddenly constricted. There was intense fear in their eyes.
Demonic poison was similar to the Marrow-Breaking Needle that Xiao Fan had discovered in Red Rock City. It was a deadly weapon that the Demon Clan had developed against the Human Clan.
Different from the Marrow-Breaking Needle's vicious purpose of ending one's lineage, anyone who was poisoned by the Demonic Poison would gradually transform within the next month. In the end, they would become … slaves of the Demon Clan.
Once he became a slave of the Demon Race, he would no longer be a human. He would no longer have the bloodline of a human. He would become a Demon Race from head to toe.
In the past, the Demon Clan had attacked the Human Clan on a large scale using the Demonic Poison. They had expanded their military strength by more than ten times in the shortest time possible, causing a lot of trouble for Xiao Fan and the other Five Emperors.
There was no need to say more about the horror of the Demonic Poison. Once poisoned, there was basically no possibility of recovery. Even if Mo Xiao and Fairy Moonlight had great identities, mysterious origins, and many treasures, they would still become part of the Demon Clan if they were poisoned. Then, they would become monsters that everyone wanted to kill.
The means of the Watercloud Holy Land were indeed ruthless!
At the same time, this also reflected the strength of the organizations. Not only did they have great strength, but they also had endless means. Moreover, the stronger the organization, the longer the history, the more means they had, and the more shocking it was. Once they really made a move, they would definitely be able to kill anyone they wanted to get rid of.
Except for a few people, the rest of the people could only obediently bow their heads in the face of the forces and organizations.
"I'll give you 15 minutes to think about it. Once you've made up your mind, tell me!" Han Feng looked at Sword Snow Saintess and Void Cloud Saint and said flatly.
