With the seven-color divine pearl, I dominate the three realms!

The group of men in black walked to the lake shore, jumped into the lake one by one, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yan Gae looked at the starry black lake and said to himself:

"Looking at their words and deeds, they must not be Bai Ze's subordinates. Is there another branch of the Shui Ling Tribe?"

Yan Gai shook his head and thought:

"This place is not Tansha City, so I'd better leave earlier."

After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the southwest along the way he came.

The moon is crescent, the stars are sparse, and the road is gray.

Yan Gai walked alone on the road with his sword in his hand, and the surroundings were silent.

After walking forward for a while, we came to a corner.

There was a wooden house not far before the corner, and the lights in the wooden house were still on.

Yan Gai then walked over.

When he came to the wooden house and heard someone's voice inside, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

squeak! !

The wooden door made a harsh friction sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

A tall, muscular man with a black face and a beard poked his head out of the door.

Seeing that Yan Gai was a young and handsome young man, he asked:

"Who are you, and why are you here knocking on the door late at night?"

Yan Gao clasped his fists and replied: "I, a member of the Phantom Clan, passed by here on the way to find friends. Seeing the lights on in this wooden house, I wanted to stay for the night! Is it possible?"

After hearing this, the strong man looked at Yan Gai and then said suspiciously:

"The Phantom Clan! As far as I know, the Phantom Clan was wiped out by the Foreign Spirit Clan more than ten years ago. The remaining clan members are also imprisoned in the City of Tomorrow by the Foreign Spirit Clan."

"That's true! It's just that now the Phantom Spirit tribe has defeated the Foreign Spirit tribe." Yan Gai replied.

"Oh!"

The strong man looked shocked when he heard this.

"when did it happen?"

Yan Gai said: "Not long ago, other tribes in Shenwu Continent already knew about it."

After hearing this, the strong man said: "I have lived alone here for a long time and have never interacted with other tribes, so I don't know about some recent things."

After saying this, he let Yan Gae enter the wooden house.

Yan Gai entered the room. The strong man asked Yan Gai to sit down again, and then poured a glass of water and handed it to Yan Gai.

Yan Gai took the water and thanked him!

The strong man glanced at Yan Gai first, and then glanced at his Wang Jian. asked:

"I wonder what your name is?"

Yan Gai replied: "I'm Yan Gai, I don't know your honorable name."

The strong man said: "My name is Niu Fan, and I have lived here for more than twenty years. It is a coincidence that I met you tonight. Please don't be surprised if there is no wine in this humble house."

Yan Ji smiled and said, "Tea is more to my liking! I don't like drinking either."

Niu Fan smiled after hearing this. Then he asked: "Where do you come from?"

Yan Gao said: "Bayuan Lake."

Niu Fan's face was shocked. Said: "Then you must have met the Shui Ling tribe."

Yan Gae nodded and said, "That's right! I feel ashamed to say that I was fought by them because I entered their territory by mistake, and I destroyed their golden sky net in a fit of impulse."

Niu Fan was shocked and said: "The golden sky net is their treasure. If you have damaged their treasure, how will they let you go?"

Yan Ji took a sip of water, nodded and said:

"When they saw that I destroyed the golden sky net, they clamored for my life to pay for it. I was angry but was about to fight with them, but was stopped by one of them."

"Oh! Why is that?"

Niu Fan looked puzzled.

Yan Gai looked at him, paused and said, "Maybe it's because of my friends."

Niu Fan asked suspiciously: "I wonder who this friend of yours is? He has such a reputation!"

After Yan Gao pondered for a moment, he said, "That friend of mine is Bai Ze from the Shui Ling Tribe."

Niu Fan smiled and said: "It turns out to be King Baize of the Shui Ling Tribe! He still has some reputation here."

Yan Ji asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

Niu Fan nodded, and then said:

"But those Shui Ling clan members you met are not afraid of King Baize. I think there must be another reason why they are willing to let you go."

"They said they wanted my friend Bai Ze to compensate me on my behalf. I didn't want to do that, but they..."

Yan Ji shook his head, showing a look of helplessness.

Niu Fan saw Yan Ji feeling guilty and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, this is a matter between the Water Spirit Tribe. Maybe it can help your friend Bai Ze."

Yan Ji asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by this?"

Niu Fan glanced at Yan Gai, then sighed:

"It seems that your friend has not told you about this. However, this is an internal matter within the clan. It seems that he does not want his friends to know."

Yan Ji asked with confusion on his face: "What happened between the Shui Ling tribe members in Bay Lake and Bai Ze?"

"These are all old things from the Shui Ling Tribe's past, and there's actually nothing that can't be told. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Niu Fan said to Yan Gao.

"Twenty years ago, the king in charge of the Shui Ling Tribe was still King Bai Hai, who was the father of King Bai Ze. He heard that there was a bluestone king tripod with divine magic on Yueying Island in Bay Lake. In order to get this Respecting the Bluestone King Cauldron, he asked the eldest prince Bai Jiang to lead dozens of warriors from his clan to search for it on Yueying Island."

"But then King Bai Hai died of illness and passed the throne to the young second prince Bai Ze. This made Bai Jiang, the eldest prince on Yueying Island, very angry, so he led his warriors to attack Bai Ze, not wanting to give up. He was defeated by the young and clever Bai Ze. Bai Jiang took some of the remaining people and fled to Moon Shadow Island. He became so angry that he became ill and died soon after."

Yan Ji exclaimed: "There is such a past event! It turns out that those men in black in Bay Lake are Bai Jiang's subordinates."

Niu Fan nodded and continued:

"Since Bai Jiang's death, these people under him have become even more resentful of Bai Ze. They have lived on Yueying Island all year round and have been looking for opportunities to take revenge."

After hearing this, Yan Gao shook his head and sighed. Suddenly he changed the subject and asked:

"I wonder if they have found the bluestone King Cauldron?"

When Niu Fan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then sighed:

"The bluestone king cauldron on Yueying Island is just a legend."

When Yan Gao heard the words, he lowered his head and sighed silently.

As the night got darker, Niu Fan looked outside the house, turned back and said to Yan Gai:

"You have to travel tomorrow, so I won't bother you."

Yan Gai nodded in agreement and looked around the room again.

Seeing that there was only one couch in the room, he had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the chair and prepare to close his eyes and adjust his breath.

Niu Fan saw this and looked out the window. Said: "I have something to go out tonight, you can take care of yourself in the house."

After saying this, he bowed his hands to Yan Gai and said goodbye.

Although Yan Gai was a little confused, he couldn't ask in detail, so he could only say thank you in return!

Watching Niu Fan walk out of the house, he sat alone in the house and thought about it:

"There is no one around here. What does he want to do when he goes out late at night?"

Yan Gai is very confused! Then he looked at the bamboo couch and shook his head, still just sitting on the chair with his eyes closed and breathing.

The moon moved and the stars disappeared, and the sky gradually became brighter.

On the eastern horizon, a fiery red sun is rising.

In the wooden house, Yan Ge opened his eyes, took a breath, stood up and got off the wooden chair, opened the door and walked outside.

The morning sun is bright and soft, and the air is fresh and pure.

Yan Gae raised his eyes and saw that the road heading west in front of him was empty and silent. I thought:

"Where did Niu Fan go? Why haven't you returned yet? It would be bad if I left without saying goodbye."

Thinking of this Yan Gao, he stood in front of the wooden house, waiting for Niu Fan to come back.

But after a long time, Niu Fan still didn't come back.

Yan Gai was very strange. He looked at the sun getting higher and thought that he had to hurry up, so he had to leave without saying goodbye.
