Emperor Shun had created the Celestial Sect of Clouds fan in order to recruit the four wise men of the four directions. Apart from creating a Five Enlightenment Virtuous Clouds for Emperor Shun, the only other thing Long Yezi had created was this Celestial Sect of Clouds fan. This fan had experienced many generations of virtuous generals and had already gathered their spiritual energy. Therefore, if a person could master the Heavenly Dipper Water Technique, they would be able to control its spiritual energy and use it for their own purposes. When Tian Gan was young, he had stayed in the mountains and fields with his son, and he had studied the constellations day and night. That was why he had mastered the changes of the sun, moon, and stars over time and understood the profound meaning of the Heavenly Astral Water, which was why he was able to use this fan as his own weapon.

Since this fan could use spiritual energy, it naturally knew how to store its energy and avoid sharp attacks. Therefore, when it received the powerful energy from the Gale Sonic Wave Art, it restrained its impulse just now, looking for an opportunity to make a move. Tian Gan and this fan had already fused together, so of course, the changes on the surface of this fan were also within Tian Gan's heart. Therefore, he purposefully said these dejected words in order to come back at any time.

However, what Tian Gan did not expect was that at this moment, he was facing not only the deep inner strength of the harvest, but also a group of bloodthirsty enemies like a pack of wolves. Although with his cultivation, fighting against a hundred was not a problem, but in this hundred, if there was an unfathomable master, then the result would be unknown.

The Divine Cloud Fan was already fully prepared. With a single breath of Heaven, it could rise up from the muddy ground at any time. It formed a net from both sides, trapping the Earth and killing it before it. However, if he wanted to ensure that this move was foolproof, he would have to do his best. Then, he would not have the heart to deal with the vicious snow wolves around him.

But in order to take revenge, he had to fight like this, even if it meant losing his life. This was the conviction of the Mo family's warriors, and he had never doubted it before.

Since he had already made up his mind, he would naturally not go back on his words. Tian Gan secretly released a dozen or so streams of true essence from his body, and they all came out from his hands' labor palace acupoints, along the meridians in his arms and the Three Yang Meridians. They passed through the crane feathers and golden silk to the Setting Sun Cloud darts at the end of the fan. The Sunset Cloudsoaring Escort moved after it heard the sound. It suddenly rose up from the mud, like a shooting star with eyes, and attacked from behind.

After seeing the Crane Feather Golden Silk tremble, he had already felt the bone-chilling cold Qi blade piercing towards him from behind him. Thus, he immediately shouted "Kill!", wielded his axes, turned around to block, and as if there was an endless suction cup hidden in his body, he once again sucked in the surrounding mist, forming a turbulent air current around him, waiting for him to erupt at any time.

When the shout came to an end, the eyes of the assassins below the Western Tragic Tower started to emit a dark green light. They seemed to want to swallow up the Heaven's Dry, and rushed towards him.

The Heaven Gan only took a gamble, so he didn't split his attention to fight against the assassins coming from all directions. He only took the setting sun with him and the Lingyun Escort with him. When the tip of the dart was about three feet away from the ground, the earth-shattering baby howl wave burst out again. "Bang!" The impact of the two internal energies caused a wave of air to surge out. This wave of air actually caused a deep crater to form on the ground within ten feet of him.

On Tian Gan's side, tens of thousands of sword gleams were shooting straight at him. As the sword gleams approached his body, there were actually two red beams flashing around him. Those two streaks of red light were actually refined into a scorching inferno. As the inferno swirled around Tian Gan, it was as if two blazing fire dragons were circling around him. In an instant, all of the sword beams charging towards Tian Gan were swept into them and instantly turned into ashes!

This was the fire melting magic of the Southern Phoenix Zhu Rong. Tian Gan had fought with her before, so he naturally knew about it.

That's right, the Li Chong who had patiently waited for a long time had finally made his move. This was because she would never allow the Heaven Gan, who could change her young girl's emotions, to die under the ten thousand sword gleams just like that. Therefore, she still chose to betray her husband's family and personally killed a group of his disciples.

"Fourth sister, you!" Seeing that Chong Li had actually injured a disciple of his own sect, he immediately became anxious and angry. He was so angry that he was unable to say a single word, and even that calm and steady breathing sound technique that was like the gurgling of water had been reduced to a mess, unable to gather together for a moment.

This was definitely a great opportunity for Tian Gan! When Tian Gan saw that Chuan's breath was uneven, he shook the Crane Feather Golden Silk in his hand, and the Sunset Cloudsoar Darts seized the opportunity to rush in, once again heading straight for Chou's fatal and healing acupoints on his back. These two acupoints were one of the 36 Death Acupuncture Points in the human body. Therefore, without the protection of the Sound Wave Technique, the body was in imminent danger!

Just as the Setting Sun Cloud Darts were rushing towards the two Death Acupuncture Points on Chou's back like meteors, the Blazing Flame Dragon in Chong Li's hand suddenly turned and swiftly charged towards Chuan's back, blocking in front of the Death Acupuncture Points and the Healing Points. With this, the light from the meteorites met with the melting flame and disappeared into the red light.

Zhong Li's action caused Tian Gan, who had held the upper hand, to be stunned. The Setting Sun Cloud Darts lost the ability to move through his meridians, becoming headless as they scattered in all directions.

When he realized that he had almost died in Tian Gan's hands, he became even more furious. He raised the bronze axe in his hand, and two streams of inner strength shot out from the Elf's cave at the tiger's mouth. In an instant, they surrounded the blade of the axe, and he hacked towards Tian Gan with one blow.

This move contained an enormous amount of brute force and anger, so no matter if Tian Gan tried to dodge or block it, he wouldn't be able to escape from the impact of the blast. Tian Gan had always learned to be gentle but to be tough. Therefore, when faced with this rigid move, he naturally chose to dodge. If he didn't injure his own Qi when fighting with Chong Li, dodging the attack would not have been a big problem. However, his Qi was severely injured, and he couldn't gather any Qi at the Blood River Sect and the Gate, so his internal organs were once again affected by the shockwave and churned up and down!

Before the old wounds of Ren Du and Du Meridian had fully healed, new injuries occurred again. Tian Gan was unable to suppress the effects of the superimposed injuries on his body, a warm current rushed up from his stomach straight to his mouth, and with a "puchi" sound, the blood turned into a stream of blood mist and merged with the white mist at night. It was impossible to tell what was blood mist or what was fog, but a strong smell of blood quickly spread throughout his body.

After seeing Tian Gan suffer such heavy injuries, Zhuang Zi couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He raised the dual axes in his hands and shouted, "Tian Gan, hurry up and die!" Then, two more strong gusts of wind began to blow, chopping straight towards Tian Gan.

"Stop, eldest senior brother!" Just as the two strong winds reached mid-air, suddenly, a fire dragon coiled around Axe, trapping him tightly. Following this was the heartbroken cry of Li Chong.

After hearing the shout of the heavy Li, the stalled Duo Tai suddenly stopped in midair, unable to make a decision for a long time.

The three words "Eldest Senior Brother" were no longer the unhurried request he had made before. Now, he was begging with his heart in his chest!

Ever since he was young, he had seen this new junior sister. Other than the one time when Chong Li accidentally broke his master's formless treasure, the dragon pearl, and begged him like this, he had not heard Zhong Li plead with him a second time in the past ten years. And now, he once again heard that pleading. He was both shocked and unwilling to accept it.

It could be said that among the four disciples that Meng Wuying had accepted, only Shou, the eldest brother, had doted on Chong Li ever since he was a kid, and had even truly treated her as his own little sister. Back then, in order to protect this junior sister from being punished, he didn't hesitate to lie to Meng Mo that he had accidentally broken this rare dragon pearl. In the end, the one who suffered the lash was this kind eldest senior brother. This was also the reason why Li Chong did not hesitate to use the 'Melting Flame Technique' to save his life. However, the deep relationship between her and Chuan Dong was something that the astonished Tian Gan would never understand.

Chong Li could betray the Deep Black Residence, and he could betray the Imperial Bloodline Clan. However, she would never have the heart to harm the Eldest Senior Brother who had doted on her since she was young.

Of course, Chou Xing wouldn't hurt his junior-apprentice sister, but unlike Zhong Li, he wouldn't betray the Dark Wood Palace that raised him, and he definitely wouldn't betray the sect that saved his life.

"Fourth sister." Zhuang Zi finally put down the bronze ax in his hand. The bronze color on his face receded slightly, but he couldn't bear to continue, "Are you really going to betray the Deep Sea Ink Residence and be together with this traitor?"

Although he was a man of the Jianghu, he was just a man who only knew how to fight, kill, and show his loyalty. However, he did not understand the love between men and women. He absolutely did not believe that the infatuation of love could actually cause Li to give up the Deep Black Residence that she grew up in. He could even give up his eldest senior brother, who had always looked down on her as if she were his own little sister.

Of course, Zhong Li understood the meaning of his eldest senior brother's words. As a result, he slowly put down the Blazing Flame Red Ribbon in his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly trembled.

It was hard to say, but she had to let him know her determination.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Fourth Sister has let down your trust in Deep Black Residence, and has failed to show mercy to Master." With his back facing his back, Zhong Li did not dare to speak to him.

"Fourth sister, you …" Chou Zhen was truly at a loss for words as he was rendered speechless by the extremely tactful words of Zhong Li. After a long period of time, he continued, "How am I supposed to explain this to junior brother Tai Jun?"

However, these extremely awkward words from Chuan Zha didn't cause Chong Li to be unable to bear it anymore. On the contrary, after hearing the two words "too much", his face suddenly became gloomy. He then turned around and said to Chou Zha, "Eldest Martial Brother, you are too stupid."

"What do you mean?" Seeing that Zhong Li's expression suddenly changed, a hidden bitterness and regret leaked out from his eyes as he spoke with a face full of doubt.

However, he did not directly answer Chou Zhen's question. Instead, he took a few steps forward and leaned over and whispered a few words into Chou Zhen's ear. His voice was so soft that even Tian Gan, who was standing ten feet away, could not hear it clearly.

Who knew that after hearing these words, his eyeballs couldn't help but bulge as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His shocked expression made his face scrunch up a little as he opened his mouth and asked, "Is this true?"

"Senior Brother, if you don't believe me, you can go back to the Dark Mo Residence and check for yourself. This is also the reason why Chong Li left the Dark Mo Residence." He didn't look like he was deliberately deceiving Chou.

Of course, Chou Rong also believed that Zhong Li wouldn't lie to him, but he truly couldn't believe that what he had heard from Zhong Li was true.

Chou Zhen remained silent for a long time. Seeing that Chou Zhen had not given any orders, the disciples of the sect did not dare to act rashly.

"You may leave." After a long while, Zhui Zhui suddenly opened his mouth and let out these words. It seemed like he felt a bit regretful, but he was more certain of it.

"Great horned master, think twice!" When the crowd heard that Chou Yuan was actually going to release Tian Gan and Chong Li, they naturally were all confused, and so they all shouted in unison.

"No need to speak any further. I will speak in front of Big Brother. I alone will take responsibility for this matter." Of course, Rusheng knew that his disciples would be stopped, so he raised his right palm to show everyone that they were obedient and rejected everyone's plea with a single word.

"Eldest senior brother …" When she saw that he was begging to take back his disciple, she felt a pang in her heart. She wanted to say something to him, but she knew that what she wanted to say was useless, so she stopped.

"Fourth sister, you don't need to say anymore. Quickly take Tian Gan and leave. Senior brother will know what to do." She knew what he wanted to say, but it seemed meaningless to him now, so she sent him away.

When Zhong Li heard this, he paused for a moment. Tears welled up in his eyes, yet he bit his lower lip with all his might. In the end, he managed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth, "Senior Brother — take care."

Rusheng also nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Chong Li helped Tian Gan, who was heavily injured, up. Once again, he turned his head to look at the standing Dong Zhui. Then, step by step, he walked out of the crowd and gradually dissipated into the thick white mist under the night. Yet she did not know that this was the final image left behind for her by her eldest senior brother, who had doted on her since she was young.

Wei Jing and Wang suffered from a strange disease called "soullessness" which was already at the brink of death, which made the entire country deeply uneasy, so they could only comply with Jing Ke's myriad requests, not daring to doubt in the slightest, to the point where no one dared to object to Jing Ke's offer to perform a deity sacrifice in the Grand Temple of Wei.

Taishan Temple was the ancestral temple passed down by the monarch of a country from generation to generation. Since Yin Shang, it had only been seven temples. Of course, if they were to meet any influential officials or generals of the imperial court, they would be bestowed with the title of Emperor by the Emperor. Therefore, all the civil and military officials under the Emperor level would sacrifice their lives for the sake of their Emperor, hoping that one day they would be able to enter the Supreme Temple. Since the three parts of the dynasty, a wise man like Wei Wenzhou had reigned. He boldly launched the military expert Wu Qi, the schemer Li Zu, Le Yang and others to encourage governance and work hard to finally become the military hegemon of Central Plains. Because Wu Qi, Li Jun, Le Yang and the other officials had helped the country, their memorial tablets were naturally placed within the temple. Although he had stolen talismans to save Zhao, and he had saved Wei and Zhao for many years, because he had killed General Wei and was hated by the Jin Clan, and because Wei Qi, Xiujia, and others had slandered him, he had not been able to enter the temple even after his death.
