C7 Four-color Pearl

Tang Weiji was taken away by Patriarch Nine, as well as the Qi from the dragon boat.

There were countless secrets in this world, large and small, deep and shallow.

Almost everyone had their own secrets. These secrets could not be told to others, or the closer one was, the more they could not say it. It had nothing to do with trust, it had to do with sadness.

Because he cared, he felt sad. Because he cared, he was afraid of being hurt. Thus, he could not say what he cared about.

Tang Weiji was casually imprisoned by Patriarch Nine. However, the seemingly powerful Patriarch Nine had started to reveal his rotten and weak aura. He was like a candle flame that had reached the end of its life, on the verge of collapse.

Tang Weiji looked at Patriarch Nine's back.

He knew the biggest secret that Ninth Elder hid, but what he wanted to know the most was still the secret of the dragon boat.

What was the relationship between the Dragon Boat and Maocai? Hearing him stress twice, he clearly knew about the relationship between Maocai and Tang Weiji. Since Black Tortoise Camp only came from the two of them, then what exactly was the true identity of this dragon boat?

He said that he himself knew Ninth Elder's secret, and Ninth Elder didn't kill him because of the things that he had hidden, so why didn't he let Tang Dynasty interfere in this matter?

The Tang Dynasty were specialized in the Blood Cultivator s, and there were countless experts amongst them. Tang Weiji was sure that if Shenji Pavilion were to interfere, no matter how high the ninth elder's cultivation was, he would only die, so why would Dragon Boat be willing to be locked in the Faangcun Mount for ten years?

What he wanted to know the most was the relationship between the dragon boat and him. These days, the dragon boat had been investigating Tang Weiji's intentions of coming here, but Tang Weiji was also observing him.

Besides, there was no time to ask these questions now. If Tang Weiji wanted to live, he could only believe in the dragon boat. Just like how the dragon boat wanted to live, he could only bet that Patriarch Nine was at the end of his rope.

Then was Ninth Elder at the end of her tether?

Tang Weiji looked at the back figure. It wasn't too high, but its aura was so high that Tang Weiji couldn't even breathe.

However, he was thinking of something else. Was the dying Ninth Elder, who was on the verge of becoming ashes, on the verge of dying?

"What did Dragon Boat say to you?" Patriarch Nine had his back facing him as if he was playing with something, but suddenly he asked him in a hoarse voice, as if someone had been holding his throat and smoking for three days.

Tang Weiji naturally did not answer his question. He felt the breath left in his body by the dragon boat and was a little surprised by that familiar feeling.

Patriarch Nine didn't expect Tang Weiji to answer his question. He continued, "I don't know what he said to you, but he finally did what I always wanted him to do."

He turned around, holding a four-colored pearl in his hand, with a playful look in his eyes, he pointed at Tang Weiji's chest, "Is it over there?"

Tang Weiji felt a burst of coldness. The place where Patriarch Nine pointed to was exactly where the breath of the dragon boat was left from. So what they did was always in Patriarch Nine's eyes?

As he walked towards Tang Weiji, he continued, "I've kept him locked up for ten years just for that thing. If it wasn't for the fact that I was certain that the Phoenix true feather is in his hands, I would have killed him long ago."

"Ten years." He walked in front of Tang Weiji, held the orb in his hand and looked at Tang Weiji in front of him. Tang Weiji's face became strange under the light of the orb, "Ten years, do you know how I passed these past ten years?"

"If he hadn't interfered ten years ago, he would still be the Palace Chief. I would have been able to transform into a human body, a real human body, and not the body that I am in now."

Patriarch Nine's eyes turned to the hand holding the pearl. He then gently tore a piece of human skin that was emitting black smoke from the back of his hand.

The human skin was stained with blood, but it quickly dried up and turned into ashes in the palm of his hand.

"Look at this. In these ten years, I have been suffering from the torment of raging flames all the time. How do you think I should repay him?"

Tang Weiji finally could not help but open his mouth, "How did you know he would give me the Phoenix true feather that you spoke of?"

That's right, that was the question Tang Weiji wanted to ask all along. Why was Dragon Boat so sure that Patriarch Nine would definitely save him?

There was bound to be no answer to this question on the dragon boat, so it was naturally acceptable to get an answer from Patriarch Nine.

Patriarch Nine smiled. Half of his skin had fallen off, revealing the burnt black muscles on his face. He looked ferocious and terrifying. "Someone told me, of course."

Tang Weiji wanted to ask something, but he stopped himself in the end.

"You want to know who told me?" Patriarch Nine sneered and shook his head. "Of course I know who told me this. But don't worry, I won't tell you that name."

He finally revealed a proud look, "From the first time I saw you, I already knew that you weren't the person I was looking for. The density of your bloodline is too low to meet my requirements, but I still used up my body's ten years of lifespan to extract your bloodline three times. All of these things are just for the sake of the Dragon Boat. "

"That person thought that he could deceive me, but he misjudged my identity." He looked at Tang Weiji and grinned, as if he was opening his bloody mouth wide, "Demon? That would be looking down on me too much. "

"Who in this world can deceive me?" He looked around, "Chaos won't do, Hongguang won't do, that person won't do, and the dragon boat won't do!"

Tang Weiji suddenly felt a chill coming from the crevices in his bones, causing his teeth to start trembling.

On the other side of the Fuchi Abyss, Demonic Ancestor's real name was Primal Chaos. On the other side of the Fuchi Abyss, the original Green Dragon Camp's general guard, current first stage divine policy general, and the protector of the nation, was called Hongguang.

Who exactly was this Patriarch Nine standing in front of him?

The only one who knew he was a Black Tortoise Bloodline was Maocai. Of course, there might be an extra dragon boat, but the only one who knew he was here was Maocai. In his fifteen years as an assassin, he had only trusted Maocai.

Patriarch Nine continued, "Dragon Boat had always thought that I could take two different paths, but he was wrong. When I found out that you weren't him, I knew that I could only take one path, and that's the only way."

Back then, when I came out of the Fuchi Abyss, I had swallowed one third of the power of the fourth battalion's bloodline, and only lost the power of the Azure Dragon Bloodline. Fortunately, I had gathered all of these during these years, but the Black Tortoise Bloodline s were not complete, and there was only one less out of three thousand Black Tortoise Bloodline s, so without enough blood, the four divine beads could not be refined.

Tang Weiji looked at him and suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

He naturally knew who the person with the missing Black Tortoise Bloodline was and he even knew what that person's name was. This was because it was that person who brought him up and it was that person who allowed him to enter Faangcun Mount.

However, this was not the most frightening part. The scariest part was the other piece of information that was unintentionally revealed by Ninth Elder.

Fifteen years ago, six thousand people from the Vermillion Bird Camp and the White Tiger Camp had perished, so Ninth Elder did not lack these two kinds of Divine Beast Bloodline. With the Black Tortoise Camp escaping from Maocai alone, the Black Tortoise Bloodline that Ninth Elder refined could not be considered to be perfect for the Great Dao.

Then what about the remaining Azure Dragon bloodline? None of the three thousand people from Green Dragon Camp had died, so how did the Ninth Elder find all of the required Azure Dragon bloodlines?

Don't look at how easy it was for Patriarch Nine to say it, Tang Weiji was sure that it would be very difficult for him to find the Divine Beast Bloodline. Even the last portion of the Black Tortoise Bloodline was found to be very difficult, let alone the three thousand pieces of Azure Dragon Bloodline.

Moreover, the four Divine Beast Bloodline only came from the Fuchi Abyss, even if there were some that were scattered outside, it would still be crippled veins.

According to Tang Weiji's knowledge, there was only one place in this world that could gather all 3000 pieces of the Azure Dragon Bloodline.

When he thought of this, he naturally thought of the truth of the battle fifteen years ago.

Could it be that being afraid of fighting with Green Dragon Camp in the so-called truth is also a facade? Could it be that the protector of the nation and the first rank general had colluded with the Monster race? Back then when the Fuchi Abyss shattered, a corner of the seal was opened by the Demon World, and it was actually tacit approval under someone's cold gaze?

That's right, other than Hongguang, who else could find three thousand pieces of Azure Dragon Bloodline? Who else could order the three thousand green dragons to willingly offer their own bloodline foundation?

Tang Weiji felt that he had found the truth hidden in the corner of history. For a moment, his heart was agitated. Fifteen years of enduring humiliation, fifteen years of living in a cold bed and fifteen years of accumulated hatred had instantly found a clearer goal.

He closed his eyes and softly told himself:

I am the Black Turtle, I will never die.

No matter who stands in front of me, no matter what kind of predicament it is, I still have the ability to pass through it!

Because I am from the Black Tortoise lineage!

I am the true Black Turtle!

He kept telling himself, until he calmed down.

Patriarch Nine didn't care what he thought, he just pressed the four-colored pearl in his hand against Tang Weiji's chest. Tang Weiji felt that his heart was beating very fast, but it wasn't the heart itself — the thing that the dragon boat was placed on Tang Weiji's chest finally started to change.

Tang Weiji was like a bug lying dormant in the frozen ground in early spring, waving its tentacles like a bird about to hatch, knocking its tender beak against the hard shell. Tang Weiji felt that something was tapping on his chest lightly.

Tang Weiji's heart was beating fast with it. He knew that the dragon boat's backup plan was going to work. Perhaps the moment Patriarch Nine pressed the four-colored bead, the outcome would change.

Then, just when his heart was beating so fast, Patriarch Nine stopped his actions.

Patriarch Nine floated slowly and finally looked directly into Tang Weiji's eyes. The corner of his lips twitched a little, and his ghost-like smile became bigger and bigger. The corners of his mouth became higher and higher, until it was so high that it reached his ears.

He suddenly retracted the Four-Colored Pearl in his hand, and sneered: "Do you think I'm that stupid?"
