"Senior, we really have fate on our side..."
Upon discovering the elder’s identity, Li Yan smiled.
As the saying goes, "Old friends like new, old companions like old friends."
Sotis, when spending ti together, there may be hidden threats; other tis, just a brief encounter can feel like reuniting with an old friend.
Fate is just that wonderful.
Although both parties were masked at the ti, the elder’s deanor as a worldly genius and his gallant intervention left Li Yan greatly impressed.
"I didn’t expect we would et again so soon,"
The elder, with a pale face, smiled slightly, "As you entered just now, I heard a noise, so I asked Daoist Liang to invite you."
So that’s how it was...
Upon hearing this, Li Yan instantly understood.
This Pear Garden elder’s awakened skill was the ear divine power.
Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled again and asked, "Since we are fated, shouldn’t the senior tell this junior your esteed na?"
"It’s all old history now."
The elder shook his head slightly, "I am Situ Bo."
Situ Bo?
Li Yan had never heard of this na.
But the pugilistic world is vast, and the Divine State is expansive; many naless wonders abound, so it’s normal not to have heard.
Li Yan did not inquire further, looked at the elder’s body, sniffed, and frowned, "Such a potent poison has invaded your organs; who ambushed you, senior?"
This Pear Garden elder, Situ Bo, with profound Dao, clearly experienced in the pugilistic world, must have been ambushed.
"It was all due to my misjudgnt!"
Liang Yu suddenly spoke coldly from the side.
Situ Bo’s face darkened upon hearing this, and he shook his head, "Indeed, I was foolish in my old age and made a great mistake."
Seeing Li Yan’s confusion, Situ Bo explained, "Though my lineage is of the Pear Garden, its origins are not righteous."
"Do you know of the Jiang Zuo Evil Dao?"
"Of course."
Li Yan frowned slightly and nodded.
The Jiang Zuo Evil Dao, he certainly knew.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in Eastern Wu, the Zhu family discovered the Flying Head. From then on, the Zhu Family began researching various Evil Techniques. Coupled with warti chaos, they gradually grew and beca the renowned Jiang Zuo Evil Dao.
Beast creation, skin painting... Many Evil Techniques are related to them.
Even Zhao Changsheng erged from this lineage.
Situ Bo sighed, "In those days, the Jiang Zuo Evil Dao wreaked havoc on the world, was eradicated by righteous forces, but various evil techniques spread in all directions."
"My ancestors acquired so, of course. Being intelligent, they combined with the Pear Garden’s legacy to research the Secret Technique ’Hundred Forms Chart.’ During the late Tang turmoil, they were once hailed as a Grandmaster, but regrettably later stepped into the Evil Dao."
"When it ca to my generation, I managed to stay true to myself, did nothing disgraceful, traveled the world with a few fellow Daoists, and earned the nickna ’Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely.’"
"I see, I have heard of you for a long ti!"
Li Yan was pleasantly surprised and bowed to them with cupped hands.
This na, he had indeed heard.
They, the ’Twelve Primordial Spirits,’ are a Wandering Immortal Team. This custom is very ancient, appearing throughout the ages, even birthing the renowned ’Traveling Immortal Poems.’
So have beco world-famous; others have been buried in history.
’Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely’ was one of them, contemporary with the ’Ghost Theater Troupe,’ but much less famous.
Li Yan learned about them when investigating ’Ghost Theater Troupe’ information.
In pugilistic world rumors, ’Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely’ had profound Dao, all claiming to be side door idlers, excelling in the arts of drama, tea, qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, considered dust-soiling chivalrous heroes.
Situ Bo was sowhat surprised to see this, shook his head, "I didn’t expect that soone still rembers us today."
After speaking, he continued, "We struck up a friendship, made so fa in the pugilistic world, but ultimately were but a side door, and as age caught up, we gradually retreated."
"Not to make a joke of us, amidst the ’Ghost Theater Troupe’s’ rampage, I had a younger brother, whose heart was not straight, joining them."
"He had far more aptitude than I, but alas, fell victim to his own deeds, ultimately eradicated by righteous forces, leaving only a lone orphan."
"I couldn’t bear it and rescued the child, raising him, teaching him from a young age, he was kind-hearted, yet, who would have thought he was lured by wealth and learned of his father’s past, secretly reconnecting with the ’Ghost Theater Troupe...’ "
Li Yan was slightly taken aback, "Is that person called Xie Sanyang?"
Situ Bo shook his head, "No, his na is Situ Qian."
"I have already discovered that in today’s ’Ghost Theater Troupe,’ the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou each have a place, and many demons vie for them; if soone dies, the next will ascend."
"Situ Qian has now beco today’s ’Order-Holding Martial Artist,’ and ’Xie Sanyang’ found him offensive, having been taught the Secret Technique."
"I heard that ’Xie Sanyang’ died at your hands, which is why I boldly invited you."
Li Yan’s expression beca serious, "Senior, how did you know?"
He knew that the resurgence of the Ghost Theater Troupe would be even more troubleso, and had already learned their internal organization from the Blood Parrot’s account.
It surprised him that their killing of a few Ghost Theater Troupe mbers was known by so many in such a short ti.
"News from Prince Mansion,"
Liang Yu suddenly spoke up seriously, "With the King Shu critically ill, the Prince Mansion has been chaotic, and a few tributes left after sensing the situation worsen, revealing these matters."
"I see..."
Li Yan nodded, looked at Situ Bo, "Senior, were you hard by Situ Qian? Is it to ask this junior to help cleanse your sect?"
"Indeed,"
Situ Bo sighed and spoke solemnly, "Xie Sanyang was a dog of Situ Bo, and that treacherous student will surely seek revenge on you."
"The line I co from is not righteous; if the cultivation goes astray, it often leads to being tainted by evil, losing human nature."
"That treacherous student should die, but more importantly, it involves a precious artifact."
"The troupe is a god-entertaining sacrifice. My ancestor once forged an artifact called the ’Netherworld Stage,’ which suppressed many Evil Ghosts inside. If released, it would cause great disaster."
