"My foster father is one of the Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan!" Hong Su's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.
The Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan are considered a taboo existence in today's city of gods, but more than twenty years ago, the names of these eighteen people could be said to resound through the sky and shake the ancient continent.
In particular, Lin Duo, the leader of the Eighteen Immortals in Taoshan, is revered as the most outstanding swordsman genius in the history of the ancient continent. Each of those eighteen people is like a phoenix, and everyone is like a dragon.
"If my guess is correct, maybe when Master was sentenced to death, it was because he was the Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan!" Master Ji said in a low voice.
Hong Su asked curiously: "Over the years, I have been hearing the legend of the Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan, but as for how they were killed and destroyed, few warriors are willing to mention it. What is the secret behind it?
"
Master Ji whispered: "I was older than you at the time and knew a lot of things, but I didn't know how the Eighteen Immortals of Taoshan offended the Central Holy Kingdom."
"I only know that there were more than ten people from outside Zhongzhou back then. They were traveling to Shendu. They even went to Shendu Longtingfeng Pavilion to challenge geniuses at that time. They defeated almost all the strong men in Shendu at that time.
They were all dim and gloomy. It was at that time that Master met them."
"They stayed in the Divine Capital for half a year, but half a year later, they were suddenly hunted by the Central Holy Kingdom. Lin Duo fled back to Dongzhou Kunxu for refuge. The Holy Kingdom dispatched hundreds of millions of troops to Dongzhou Kunxu.
One battle, that battle almost destroyed the entire Dongzhou Kunxu!"
"Shortly after the Holy Kingdom's army returned to Zhongzhou, Master asked me to find the Holy Emperor, and then Master was sentenced to death!"
Master Ji said slowly.
Hong Su heard the story told by Master Ji. It was so twists and turns, yet so true.
At that time, the Seventeen Musicians had high eyesight and were the best musicians in the world. They were also the ancient geniuses who were above the Qin Dao. They claimed to be noble. At that time, there were only a few warriors in the city of God who could compare with the Seventeen Musicians.
He was even more popular in front of the Holy Emperor. How many dignitaries wanted to curry favor with the Seventeenth Musician but they turned away behind closed doors!
At that time, apart from the heaven-defying sword cultivator, there were a few people who could be compared with the Seventeen Musicians!
If Hong Su didn't believe what Master Ji said, but if Hong Su thought about it carefully, if Seventeen Musicians and Lin Duo met, they would definitely have sympathy for each other. Both of them are unparalleled geniuses on this ancient continent.
If Hong Su believed Master Ji, how could the Seventeen Musicians seek death from the Holy Emperor? Given the status of the Seventeen Musicians in front of the Holy Emperor at that time, even if the Holy Emperor knew that the Seventeen Musicians were one of the Eighteen Immortals in Taoshan, he would probably
You won't kill the seventeen musicians easily!
"What is missing in this..."
Hong Su frowned and whispered.
Master Ji shook his head and said: "Why on earth does Master want me to do this? I have been thinking about it for many years, but I still haven't figured it out!"
"Little sister, although I had no intention of harming Master, Master did die because of me! I have lived with self-blame and hatred for many years. Now that you are back, it is up to you to find the answer yourself!"
"Since I was a child, my brother has never asked you for anything!"
"Little sister, senior brother, please let me die under the harmonious piano today!"
"It's been a long time since I heard Master's music!"
Master Ji said calmly.
Hong Su looked at Master Ji with a hint of hesitation on his face.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head, and seemed to have no objection. He raised his ears, as if ready to listen to the music of the harmonious harp.
Hong Su lowered his head and looked at the harmonious harp in his hand. The energy of dragon and phoenix slowly rose from it. Hong Su's face flashed, and he slowly pressed his fingers on the strings and whispered: "Goodbye, Senior Brother!"
After saying that, Hong Bin used the little spiritual power in his body to attach to his fingers and gently plucked a string.
Zheng……
A clear and loud sound spread from the guqin, and suddenly turned into a huge storm of power, sweeping away, instantly leveling the houses in several surrounding streets.
This storm swept out, destroying everything, and soon hit Master Ji.
A smile appeared on the corner of Master Ji's mouth. It was a smile of satisfaction and contentment, but also a smile of relief.
"Master, I don't want to be your disciple in the next life!"
Wow——
The sound waves swept past, instantly destroying Master Ji's body, turning it into fly ash, and disappearing between heaven and earth together with the buildings in these streets!
Hong Su looked at the death of Master Ji with no expression on his face. As Master Ji said, although the death of the Seventeenth Musician was not a deliberate betrayal by Master Ji, the Seventeenth Musician did die because of Master Ji!
Hong Su returned to the capital of God after all the hardships, wasn't it just to find Master Ji to avenge his adoptive father?
"Ahem!" Hong Su used the last bit of strength in his body to wave the strings. After the sound wave dissipated, Hong Su paralyzed on the ground with a pale face and looked at the mess around him with dull eyes.
Just then!
Suddenly a sharp sword light shot out from the darkness, making Hong Su feel cold all over. He couldn't help but look back and saw a black shadow coming from the darkness. The sharp sword in his hand pierced Hong Su's throat.
superior.
Hong Su's pupils widened, and he wanted to resist, but now that he had no spiritual power in his body, he was unable to resist at all.
At this moment, from another direction, a bright sword light struck, shaking the piercing sword away!
Seeing that he was unable to kill Hongsu, the man turned around and reached out to grab the harmonious piano in Hongsu's hand.
This Harmony Qin is not only the instrument of seventeen musicians, but also an imperial-level spiritual weapon with great power, making it a rare treasure.
"Are you looking for death?" At the moment when this person was about to take He Mingqin away, Lin Bai appeared in front of Hong Su and struck at the stretched out hand.
The man was startled, and hurriedly retracted his hand, landing a hundred meters away, holding a sharp sword in his hand, looking coldly at Lin Bai and Hong Su.
Hong Su raised his head and saw Lin Bai, with a hint of joy on his face: "Lin Bai."
"Have you finished your work?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Hong Su took a deep breath helplessly and whispered: "It's done now!"
Lin Bai nodded slightly, looked up and saw a figure standing a hundred meters away in front of him. This man was wearing a black robe and holding a black sword in his hand. Even though the moon was thick at the moment, the moonlight was bright enough to see clearly things a hundred meters away.
But when he stood under the moonlight, Lin Bai could only see a black shadow!
Without thinking too much, Lin Bai guessed that this person was a swordsman who was good at hiding and assassinating!
Swish——
The man said nothing. The moment he landed a hundred meters behind, he took a step forward and suddenly disappeared in front of Lin Bai, as if he melted into the wind.
Immediately beside Lin Bai and Hong Su, waves of strange wind howled, and Lin Bai seemed to feel the sharp sword light in the wind!
