Mortal Mirror

Fakong did not hold back and taught Li Ergou the Five Elements Refining Method, which naturally made Li Ergou very happy.

Unfortunately, Fakong told him that the Longevity Well existed before he arrived, and he had never been down there, so he didn't know what was at the bottom. Perhaps he would have to ask someone more powerful.

Li Ergou asked him if there were even more powerful people in this town.

Fakong told him that in the Old Dragon Pit in Wanglong Village, there was a very, very old being, perhaps old enough to know the secrets of the Longevity Well.

Li Ergou smiled wryly when he heard about the Old Dragon Pit. Of course he knew about that being. Wasn't that Li Hongyu? The Seven-Colored Gold Crystal Fish was dead, but he was still alive! If Li Hongyu blamed him, he probably wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it.

So, this matter could only be put on hold for now.

Li Ergou was about to say goodbye when Yinian suddenly stopped him. Li Ergou looked at Yinian in confusion and asked, "Master, is there anything else?"

Yinian said, "Fellow Daoist, I haven't left this place for a thousand years. I don't know how the outside world has changed. I wonder if I can accompany you for a while to familiarize myself with the outside world.

If you need anything, perhaps I can give you some pointers."

Li Ergou was dumbfounded. He looked at the young monk in front of him, who didn't look much older than himself, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you mistaken? A thousand years? You're not joking with me, are you?"

Before Yinian could speak, Fakong interjected, "He's not lying. He is my junior brother. Due to various reasons, he has been trapped here for thousands of years.

Now, he has had a great enlightenment and wants to go out and have a look. Therefore, I ask you, Fellow Daoist, to take care of him."

"A thousand years? I see that this master's cultivation is only at the Qi Refining stage. How could he have a lifespan of a thousand years? Master, are you teasing me?"

Li Ergou was speechless, thinking that this Fakong monk was too unreliable. Was he taking him for a fool? Or was there some unknown secret here?

Fakong was not angry because of Li Ergou's words, but patiently explained, "My junior brother has a natural wisdom and is extremely powerful.

A thousand years ago, he reached the ninth realm of the Divine Path.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was troubled by love and could not break through the final step. Therefore, he dispersed his cultivation and prepared to cultivate again. The matter is as simple as that."

When Li Ergou heard this, he immediately felt that this Yinian monk was too ruthless. Also, the ninth realm, what a terrifying cultivation that was!

He looked at the red-lipped and white-toothed monk in front of him and couldn't imagine that this was actually an unparalleled expert.

In his opinion, Fakong would not deceive him. After all, a monk like him would not use such despicable means, and it would be meaningless.

Li Ergou naturally chose to believe him. He didn't say much, but said, "That's how it is. I will kill all the surrounding monsters these few days and then leave with everyone. When that time comes, Master, you can come with me."

Yinian said, "Very well. However, since we will be together in the future, there is no need to call me 'Master' all the time. Just call me Yinian."

Li Ergou was not a stubborn person, so he said, "Okay, since Master wants to start over, we will be brothers from now on. You will be my elder brother, and you can call me Ergou."

Yinian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Ergou to say that, after all, they had just met, and they were already becoming brothers. This was too fast.

Li Ergou seemed to see through Yinian's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh at how honest this monk was. He then continued, "Master may not have understood my meaning. I'm just making an analogy. Isn't it easier to accept this way?"

Yinian understood Li Ergou's meaning, but he couldn't help but wonder if the people and things in the world had changed since he hadn't been out for a thousand years.

After the two agreed, Li Ergou left.

He would naturally not go to the Old Dragon Pit. Li Hongyu would not want to see him either. Unfortunately, Li Zheng'an, Lu Changsheng, and Wu Shenxian had all left this place, otherwise he would have had a place to visit.

As he was strolling on the street, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "It's not good! Fire! The Liu family is on fire!"

Only then did Li Ergou see that in the northwest of Tiangou Town, flames were soaring into the sky and black smoke was billowing.

He thought of the Liu family, could it be the Liu Teng family who harmed him back then?

This Liu family was not a good bunch either. He just didn't know who dared to move against the Liu family. He might as well go and see the excitement.

When he arrived above the Liu family, he saw that the entire Liu family had turned into a sea of fire. What was even more tragic was that the Liu family's courtyard was full of blood and severed limbs. He didn't know who was so cruel. Killing people was one thing, but tearing people into pieces was quite vicious.

In the Liu family's hall, the Liu family's old master looked at the person in front of him wearing yellow clothes and hiding his head in a hood, his face full of anger and despair, and asked, "What deep hatred does my Liu family have with you that you have to exterminate my entire family?"

At that moment, the person put down his hood, revealing a pockmarked face. This face was somewhat distorted, giving people an unspeakable fear.

The Liu family's old master shook his head and said, "I don't recognize you. Who are you?"

The person laughed hideously and said, "Old fellow, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you. Back then, when Liu Teng was killed by Li Ergou, you didn't kill him, but you vented your anger on my Huang family, robbing us of all our possessions, causing my Huang family to be destroyed. Did you really think this debt was over?

I was almost killed by you too. Now that I, Huang Batian, am back, I want to settle the old scores. Anyone who offends me must die, and die a horrible death. Today, I will use your Liu family to offer sacrifices to the heavens.

I will repay the Huang family's hatred tenfold, a hundredfold. Old fellow, I will make the people of your Liu family die without a burial place."

The Liu family's old master said angrily, "I only robbed your family of their possessions, but you exterminated my entire family. What a vicious heart! I really regret that I should have nipped you in the bud and killed you all!"

Huang Batian laughed loudly and said, "It's a pity, a pity. It's too late for you to say anything now. Don't worry, do you know why I didn't kill you? I want you to watch your family's downfall with your own eyes. I want you to taste the same taste I had back then. I want you to live a life worse than death."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked. A flash of green light passed, and the Liu family's old master screamed.

One of his legs had been melted away by Huang Batian's corrosive green liquid.

The Liu family's old master lay on the ground, letting out a miserable howl that echoed throughout the Liu family's courtyard.

Li Ergou looked at the sea of fire in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. If Zhu Zhu hadn't protected him back then, he would have been beaten to death by the Liu family long ago. Now that the Liu family was like this, it could be considered deserved, but killing their entire family was a bit too much. How much of a deep hatred must there be?

Just as he was pondering, he heard inhuman screams coming from the Liu family's courtyard.

He was slightly surprised and, without thinking much, flew into the Liu family's courtyard. He wanted to see who was so ruthless.
