The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"But......"

Tang Yi muttered, "If you don't go, Old Ancestor, and the Silver Puppet breaks down later, wouldn't all the hard work we've put into it over the years be wasted?"

“Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not having the courage to start over again.”

Bailian Zhenzu comforted him with this. In his opinion, Bailian Pavilion was rich as a country with piles of gold and jade. Except for a few rare materials that were difficult to obtain, it had everything else.

One failure doesn’t prove anything. At worst, you can just start over.

Maybe it's because he's getting old, but once Bailian Zhenzu starts talking, he seems to be able to talk non-stop, regardless of things that are not related to cultivation.

Coincidentally, he himself also has a strong interest in things from ancient times.

It's rare to meet a like-minded disciple, and I don't have any other important matters to focus on right now. How much time can I waste just chatting for a while?

In other words, as long as you feel it is meaningful, it is not a waste of time.

"OK then."

Tang Yi gave up: "The ancestor is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry either."

"Anyway, I've already delivered my message."

Tang Yi's identity seemed to be extraordinary. When the other disciples in the library saw Bailian Zhenzu, they were all respectful and did not dare to come forward. Even when they saw Lianzu and Lao Ba talking to each other and seemed to be very easy to talk to, they deliberately kept their distance and watched from afar.

"Okay, don't be angry."

Bailian Zhenzu couldn't help but laugh, "Don't underestimate Elder Deng. If you don't push some people hard, you have no idea how much potential they have."

Tang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you sure it's not because the elder took your beloved tea set last time, so you are deliberately making things difficult for the elder?"

"A little bit."

"That makes sense."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lao Ba felt deeply ashamed.

But by then he had stopped sweating.

Since everyone around is secretly observing this place, it is because of Bailian Zhenzu.

That means Lao Ba’s identity has not been exposed.

But at this moment, you need to be more patient and not reveal any flaws.

Otherwise, an ancestor-level figure might die here.

Lao Ba thought quickly in his mind, thinking that since the other party treated him as one of his own and a living know-it-all, as the saying goes, misfortunes often bring good fortune, he might as well take advantage of the situation to get out of the way.

Let’s try to find out more about the ancient Nanga tribe’s past!

Thinking about this, Lao Ba wrote the following words on the sand drawing board and handed it to Bailian Zhenzu: The Flame Emperor must exist!

"It seems you know something."

Bailian Zhenzu smiled and said, "Why not tell me about it?"

Tang Yi looked at the homemade sand painting board, then looked at Lao Ba: "Are you mute?"

In just a moment, the smile on Bailian Zhenzu's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. However, the look he gave Lao Ba afterwards was more meaningful.

He may not know every disciple of Bailian Pavilion, but Tang Yi, as the chief examiner for the selection and recruitment of disciples in recent years, didn't even know that there was a mute among the disciples.

Is it a foreign friend, or a sneaking rat?

It's really curious...

Although Bailian Pavilion is the overlord of the Western Paradise, the most powerful and the leader in the region, it is also a commercial force that takes its own development into consideration and welcomes many distinguished guests every day.

For example, Xi Zhaozhao and his group had come to the library before.

Because of the presence of Lei Haotian and Feng Wanli, as long as they don't offend any particularly strong forces, they are basically welcome wherever they go with the reputation of Lei Zun and Feng Jun.

The library here is open almost unconditionally and anyone can enter.

It's normal to have a few curious guests occasionally.

However, almost unconditional opening does not mean that there are no barriers at all.

Just to enter Bailian Pavilion, I don’t know how many people were screened.

Those who can come here do not have simple identities or backgrounds.

It's impossible for Tang Yi to know everyone.

But he didn't even recognize Tang Yi, who usually liked to appear in various places in Bailian Pavilion in a mysterious way, and he didn't even have any impression of him.

Then there is a high possibility that there is something wrong with this person.

Tang Yi observed Lao Ba, who was painting on the sand painting board opposite her. There was a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes. For a moment, she mistakenly thought that Lao Ba was someone's descendant brought back by their ancestor.

This is inevitable.

Who is Bailian Zhenzu? The undisputed leader of the desert!

Someone who can sit at the same table and talk with the leader.

How can there be no background at all?

Since the vocal cords were damaged, it is indeed a troublesome thing to be unable to communicate with others.

After many twists and turns on the sand drawing board, Lao Ba finally explained to Bai Lian Zhenzu everything he had experienced last night. However, Lao Ba deliberately concealed the matter about the temple and the little monk, and only emphasized the strange vision and the ice and fire world he had seen.

However, after he explained his experience in writing.

The smile on Bailian Zhenzu's face disappeared.

Instead, there is a kind of calmness that seems to be free of all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Perhaps, you are even more extraordinary than I imagined, especially in terms of fantasy. If all the disciples in the pavilion could have such a broad imagination as you, they would not have been standing still all these years."

Bailian Zhenzu spoke lightly.

Lao Ba hesitated.

Fearing that the other party would not believe him, he concealed the relationship between Jiuchongshan Sect and Desert Silver Wolf from the perspective of a bystander who had witnessed someone being killed, and mentioned the matter of the Holy Spirit of Fire in the photo.

However, after hearing this, Bailian Zhenzu's expression was surprisingly calm.

On the contrary, Tang Yi racked her brains to figure out what Lao Ba wanted to express. Her eyes instantly became moist. She suddenly slammed the table and stood up, scaring Lao Ba opposite her so much that he trembled.

"Xiao Tangyi, remember, I told you that no matter what time it is, you must remain calm, especially us weapon refiners. If there is a slight mistake in the temperature, all our efforts may fail."

Tang Yi was stunned and sat back silently.

"But now, you can get a little excited."

Bailian Zhenzu reached out and stroked Tang Yi's hair, like a kind elder, and said with a smile: "If what he said is true, your brother may still be alive."

"Ancestor..."

Tang Yi quickly wiped away her tears and looked at Lao Ba anxiously, asking urgently, "Where did you meet my brother? How is he? Is he okay? Where did he go last?"

"Speak up!!!"

Lao Ba:...

I am glad that you do not regard me as a disabled person.

But sir, have you forgotten what you just said so quickly?

Lao Ba clearly remembered that Tang Yi had called him a "mute" not long ago.

"Little guy, you are not from Bailian Pavilion, right?"

At this point, Bailian Zhenzu no longer played along and directly exposed the hidden layer of paper: "If I am not mistaken, you are not a guest of Bailian Pavilion."

The pill was discovered...

Lao Ba was puzzled.

He had clearly concealed it perfectly and hadn't said anything wrong, because he hadn't opened his mouth at all. Even the words he wanted to express were written down after careful consideration...

Which link went wrong? ...

Damn it! Let’s fight!

Lao Ba held the bottom of the table with both hands and was about to lift it up to divert the other party's attention, but he sadly discovered that the quality of the table was too strong and no matter how hard he tried, it didn't budge at all.

Bailian Pavilion is indeed very wealthy, spending all their money on knife handles...

"Even I was deceived."

Bailian Zhenzu placed his palm on the table and said with a half-smile, "It seems that calling you little guy is no longer appropriate. If I hadn't been here this time, I'm afraid there would have been a big uproar."

Whoosh——

"Huh? This is..."

Bailian Zhenzu looked at the faint flames rising from Lao Ba's body with some surprise. He continued to exert force with his palm, but the slightly shaking table legs already made one thing clear...

He was already beginning to lose control of Lao Ba.

Tang Yi was surprised to sense that two powerful forces were confronting each other. Before she could react, she saw the flames on Lao Ba's body burning more and more fiercely.

boom! ! !

The scorching air wave, centered on Lao Ba, swept through the entire library, and he himself was engulfed in flames at that moment, entering a brilliant flame form that resembled the Holy Spirit of Fire.

“Awesome!!!”

Tuoba Sheng, who had been watching from the dark, shouted "awesome".

The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he doesn’t even take Bailian Zhenzu seriously.

This is not over yet. Several circular magic arrays appeared out of thin air and fell on his head. In an instant, Lao Ba's arms, calves... and part of his limbs were covered with red lotus armor as bright as flames. His own aura continued to rise, comparable to that of a peak powerhouse in the late stage of Huaqiao Realm!

Moreover, the flame on his body is not an ordinary thing, but the "blessing of the phoenix", a legendary ancient beast that was given to Lao Ba after experiencing nirvana.

"You keep surprising me, one after another."

Bailian Zhenzu protected Tang Yi, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared straight at the Fire Messenger in the field.

In the end, Lao Ba successfully completed the feat of flipping the table.

But he did not proceed with any more presumption, but stood still, outlining the words of the text with flames, and presenting them before the people, to show that he held no hostility.

"It wasn't hard to leave before you brought that up."

Bailian Zhenzu gave two choices: "But now, do you want to sit down and have a calm and peaceful discussion, or do you want to be bombarded by countless golden puppets and thrown into prison to await interrogation?"

Lao Ba did not respond immediately, analyzing the pros and cons in his mind.

The matter of Jiuchongshan Sect has not yet come to a conclusion.

If I mess with the Overlord of the West again...

Lao Ba suddenly realized that he was actually quite awesome. Not only was he an old first-rate force in the Central Plains, but he was also facing a Western Heaven Overlord. Wouldn't he spend the rest of his life being hunted?

"I know you came here to find something."

Bailian Zhenzu was constantly observing Lao Ba's every move and shouted, "Coincidentally, we have also been searching for that person's whereabouts all these years."

"Perhaps, our ultimate goal is consistency."

Hearing this, Lao Ba still did not respond. He was thinking about how to leave Bailian Pavilion safely without offending Bailian Pavilion too much if he was surrounded by golden puppets.

Bailian Zhenzu secretly frowned, feeling the need to prove something, so he turned to Tang Yi, who was looking incredulous behind him, and said, "Little Tang Yi, go ahead."

"Yes! Ancestor!"

Tang Yi couldn't wait any longer. She closed her eyes and walked forward slowly. As she took a step forward, her body miraculously caught fire like Lao Ba.

Soon, the flames surrounded Tang Yi and turned him into a Fire Spirit with a weaker flame. His general outline could be roughly seen underneath, and he stood opposite Lao Ba.

At first glance, it looks like they were taught by the same master, and there is no sense of incongruity.

"Are you my tribesman who is wandering outside?"

Under the flames, the Holy Spirit of Fire spoke, and it was still the same voice that Tang Yi had used before.

Bailian Zhenzu recalled the time when he first met Lao Ba and saw the other party's eager look to know more about the Nanga tribe, and thought to himself, so that's how it is... This person must be looking for his own life experience!

I didn't expect that.

There really are other branches of the Nanga tribe in the world.

The fire covered up the expression on Lao Ba's face. He seemed unmoved, but in fact he was already stunned.

Is this considered a pleasant surprise?

"Oh yes, I almost forgot you are mute."

Lao Ba:...

Even if you don’t speak, no one will think you are “dumb”!

"It seems that you have mastered this power."

"Please believe me, everything I say is true."

Tang Yi continued, "Once upon a time, I was just like you. Because of this power and my inhuman appearance, I was considered an ominous symbol by the world."

What a mess! You are the symbol of bad luck!

Lao Ba was speechless for a moment, but he had previously learned from Bailian Zhenzu that the Nanga tribe was protected by the God of Fire and their blood contained a powerful original power.

This original power will grow with age.

At a certain moment, the origin will change and sublime into the power of the Flame God!

At the beginning, the power of the Flame God is difficult to suppress by oneself. If one wants to completely control this power and use it freely, one must accept and conquer it from the bottom of one's heart.

otherwise......

There's no harm in that.

The fire will keep burning whether you are eating, sleeping or squatting.

"But now, you don't have to worry about being looked down upon by the world, nor do you have to live in fear. I will tell you everything I know about your life that you want to find out!"

Tang Yi spoke sincerely and from the bottom of his heart.

But after listening to it, Lao Ba couldn't help but feel a little pity for Tang Yi.

This is both eye-rolling and fearful...

Sister, it seems like you had a hard time in the past.

Lao Ba sighed, lightly touched his hands in front of him, and the flames covering his body instantly dispersed to both sides, and the Red Lotus Karma Armor also faded from virtuality and gradually disappeared.

Witnessing this scene, Bailian Zhenzu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Does the power of the Flame God differ among people?

Why does this person's Flame God power seem a little different from Xiao Tangyi's...

Tang Yi's face lit up with joy. Unlike Lao Ba, the flames on her body did not dissipate immediately when she thought about it, but were visibly retracted into her body.
