Four Elephants

() "What are you going to do?!" I have noticed Yuan Shengtai's actions for a long time, so when Yuan Shengtai just raised his sword to commit suicide, Yi Tian had already arrived at the first time, grabbed the blade directly, He snatched the sword that fell to his neck.

The blade of the sword was like frost, it cut through Yi Tian's palm in an instant, piercing through the bones, and the blood flowed profusely.

"Haha, hahahaha——" Yuan Shengtai laughed up to the sky, then looked at Yi Tian helplessly, and then sighed: "You made me look like a human, a ghost, and now kill me again." Don’t you want me to die? Why do you want to prevent me from committing suicide? Could it be that you still want to continue to torture me, continue to watch me endure this endless pain and live miserably? Yi Tian, Where did I offend you, why did you treat me like this?"

Yi Tian bowed his head silently, feeling the throbbing pain from the wound on his hand, and his heart twitched.

After a long time, he knelt down slowly in the muddy water, and said in a deep voice, "Please trust me, I will definitely cure you."

"Cure me? Hehe, hahaha, hahahaha!" Seeing Yi Tian's actions, Yuan Shengtai laughed even more frantically, then his eyes darkened, and he stepped forward and stretched out his single arm to grab Yi Tian's collar, dragged him up, brought his pus-covered face close to Yi Tian, ​​and yelled at him viciously: "Can you cure me?! Can you make my arm recover again?" Can it grow back?! Can you restore my appearance?!"

"Hmph," Yuan Chengtai snorted coldly after throwing Yi Tian into the mud, glanced at him, and bared a few words through his teeth: "You are just a waste, your cultivation base is not yet I am tall, what can you help me? I really regret that I should not have valued you so much at the beginning, but instead caused myself to fall into this situation. If I knew that you were such an ungrateful person, even if I, Yuan Shengtai You have thousands of favorable impressions, and you will never get close to you—hmph, it’s a pity that one mistake will cause eternal hatred—”

During the cold words, Yuan Shengtai's voice was already choked up, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

Yi Tian sat dejectedly in the muddy water, listening to Yuan Shengtai's words, recalling all the happy days since he met him, and looking at his miserable appearance now, he couldn't help being heartbroken. Speaking of which, Yuan Shengtai Yi Tian really has an inescapable responsibility for this tragic situation.

Yi Tian wanted to make up for it, to make it up, to heal him, to bring him back to the past, but what Yuan Shengtai said was not wrong at all, what ability does Yi Tian have, and why does he do this ?

However, Yi Tian was not reconciled, he couldn't forgive himself.

"If, you really want to help me—" After a long time, when the wind and rain gradually subsided, and the mountain forest was covered with white mist, Yuan Shengtai suddenly said a word.

"As long as I can do it, I will do my best. What do you say?" Hearing Yuan Shengtai's words, Yi Tian quickly replied.

"There is a way, if you help me do this, our account will be written off," Yuan Shengtai said.

"What way?" Yi Tian asked expectantly.

"Help me ascend to the throne of Qingyun Kingdom," Yuan Shengtai said calmly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, without any sense of tension at all.

"This—" Yi Tian was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to agree to Yuan Shengtai, but then felt that his ability was weak, and it seemed that he couldn't help him with this matter, so he hesitated and said: " Me, how can I help you?"

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. You follow me, and I will tell you slowly," Yuan Shengtai turned and entered the cave while speaking.

Yi Tian quickly got up to follow, and entered the cave together.

After entering the cave, I realized that the bonfire was about to go out.Yi Tian hurriedly added firewood to it, and lit it again, then carefully supported Yuan Shengtai to sit down, and walked across to him, sat down, looked down at the fire, and poked it with a twig. with firewood inside.

"If you want to help me with this matter, the success rate is extremely high, and relatively speaking, you have an innate advantage over others," Yuan Shengtai frowned slightly after a long time.

"Innate advantage?" Yi Tian was puzzled.

"Well, you are still young when you entered the Lingyun Sect, and you don't know much about some things, so let me tell you this," Yuan Shengtai paused for a moment before continuing: "The Lingyun Sect is actually the back garden of the Qingyun royal family. Qingyun Kingdom is basically relying on the protection of Lingyun Mountain to survive. For this reason, the royal family pays tribute to Lingyun Mountain every year with one-fifth of the country's tax revenue."

"So much?" Yi Tian finally realized at this time that Lingyun Mountain seems to be a clean and inactive place, but he didn't expect it to be the richest place in Qingyun Kingdom. Maybe, after so many years of wealth accumulation, Lingyun Mountain's wealth, Even on the entire Hunyuan Continent, it is second to none.

"Of course, otherwise, how could Lingyun Mountain protect the royal family? If they want to change someone to rule this country, it would be a piece of cake. To put it bluntly, the Qingyun royal family is just the spokesperson established by Lingyun Mountain in the world. They are through Qingyun The royal family manages the people of the world and seeks benefits from it. Do you think those old guys in Lingyun Mountain are all immortal, refined, and very noble?" Yuan Shengtai snorted coldly when he said this : "However, in fact, they are the biggest moths in this country, that is, they have consumed so much silver in the treasury for nothing."

"Do they need money?" Yi Tian was curious.

"A lot of things, you don't know, these old guys not only need money, but spend tens of thousands of gold every time, sometimes they can spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in order to refine a elixir Collect the materials you want." Yuan Shengtai sneered even more at this point, and then waved his hand and said: "I won't talk about these for now, anyway, you just need to know that Qingyun Royal Family and Lingyun Mountain are actually one, that's all. "

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Yi Tian asked with a frown.

"You must first promise me that once you accept this task, you will do your best to help me. For this task, no matter how much you sacrifice, even if it is your life, you must complete it," Yuan Shengtai did not answer Yi Tian , instead asked: "Can you promise me? Can you give me this promise?"

Yi Tian hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but when he saw Yuan Shengtai's ferocious and terrifying face, he felt his heart move, nodded and said: "I promise you, the worst thing is to die."

"Well, okay, then listen to me." Yuan Shengtai smiled slightly, very satisfied with Yi Tian's performance, "Lingyun Mountain holds a martial arts competition every year. The people who participate in the conference are all new disciples. And The person who wins the competition will be selected and sent to the Qingyun royal family to serve as the captain of the imperial guard. Therefore, you must first win this martial arts competition and get the position of captain of the imperial guard first."
