I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 171 - 93: Unfilial Descendant, Kneel Down and Kowtow to Mr. Ji!

Chen Jing was suppressed all the way by Tantai Yao, not daring to take a deep breath, and led the way directly, reaching the gate of the Guardian Mansion, while secretly lamenting in his heart:

"Could this Third Step Primordial Pill be a lunatic?!"

"The Great Zhao rules over five regions, with countless talented people under its command. From a nationwide perspective, places like 'Black Mountain City' are merely the lowest level, but a Seventh-Grade Guardian, as a person of the Government Office, represents the face of Great Zhao."

"In Black Mountain, indeed openly, in the Third Step, no one can surpass him, no one can stop him."

"But why is he taking Jixia along the way straight through, intending to break into the Guardian Mansion?"

His old man has been deeply rooted in Black Mountain for decades, even the newly promoted Prefecture Venerable Zheng Zizhen in the Prefecture City had worked with him before, he has extensive connections.

As a Seventh-Grade Guardian of the Government Office, if he were to die unexpectedly in his position...

It would attract a personal investigation from the Demon Hunters of the entire Prefecture!

Even if he is a Third Step master, can he stop a Demon Hunter?

Arriving at the Guardian Mansion, Chen Jing secretly lamented.

What exactly is the relationship between this person and Jixia?

How can he support him like this?

Is he truly insane!

This boy was originally just a hunter, only becoming a constable just over half a month ago; where did he meet such an existence?

Wei Zongchang, didn't fall unjustly!

Along the way, the Martial Soldiers, after Chen Jing carefully inquired about Jixia and Tantai Yao, were all dismissed.

The Ninghai from the Sword Spine Martial Arts Hall didn't even dare to let out a fart and left in a hurry.

Only Xu Qin from the Zither Sword Arts Hall remained, having followed Xu Nian since childhood, experienced the Zither Sword Pavilion from decline to prosperity, reaching her current status.

Looking at the back and side profile of Tantai Yao, she increasingly felt that this person's outline matched exactly the weathered and yellowed portrait hanging in her master's room.

Time ages all beauty.

It's always been said that those over seventy are rare in history!

For those who don't practice martial arts, living past seventy is already considered very rare.

As for Great Innate Martial Artists, with All-Body Refining Without Leaks, constantly nourishing and replenishing the body with Qi, but if they don't enter the Primordial Pill stage, their ultimate limit is merely one hundred and twenty years.

Most reach the end of their life before a hundred years.

As for Xu Qin's master, Xu Nian.

At that time, supporting the nearly ruined, fully declined Zither Sword Pavilion to its current status, toiling with heart and mind, she no longer resembles the gentle figure in yellow Xu Qin once saw in her childhood.

Instead, she has aged, nearing her ultimate limit.

Not long ago, when Xu Qin saw her elder...

She couldn't even retain her body's Qi and blood, nor maintain Qi Entering the Yellow Court.

This meant she had at most three years before returning to dust.

As Xu Nian's hand-raised disciple and likely the next successor of the Zither Sword Pavilion, Xu Qin knew her master had always been waiting for a man who never returned.

The reason Xu Qin hadn't left was that she felt the gray-clad expert with Third Step cultivation following the Guardian Mansion's pursuit was the man her master was waiting for in the portrait!

In an unintentional moment,

Tantai Yao glanced at Xu Qin, with eyes as bright as a torch, seeing through her completely, but said nothing.

Instead, he followed Chen Jing into the solemnly built Guardian Mansion made of green stone.

When Jixia brought Tantai Yao grandiosely, pompously stood here, holding Chen Jing, and arrogantly demanded to see the Guardian 'Chen Zhao'.

The officials of the entire Guardian Mansion were all shocked.

The atmosphere in the air immediately solidified.

Layer upon layer, Great Primordial Qi suddenly rose, countless hidden powers of the Guardian Mansion began to emerge one after another.

But knowing Tantai Yao fully, Chen Jing looked around and couldn't help but shout:

"Have you all gone mad?!"

"A Primordial Pill demands to see the Black Mountain Guardian, why such a tense atmosphere, silence, just do your jobs!"

The Third Step!

Chen Jing suddenly spoke out, causing the lurking experts and the officials of the Guardian Mansion to suddenly quiet down.

"Jixia, and... this senior."

"I have already sent someone to summon my father, who is the Black Mountain Guardian, Lord Chen Zhao."

"Please kindly wait a moment."

"He is currently in the rear hall ancestral shrine, paying respects to the ancestors; it might... take some time."

Turning around, Chen Jing's heroic face revealed a bitter smile.

"No need, I want to see the Black Mountain Guardian, not Uncle Tantai, so why be so cautious?"

"There are just some matters to discuss with the Lord Guardian, that's all, no need to be so nervous."

Jixia laughed indifferently upon hearing this.

Then, to Chen Jing's astonishment, he calmly and confidently strolled around as if in his own backyard.

Ignoring the masters lurking openly and covertly everywhere, as if familiar with the road, he just walked in.

"Wait... wait, Jixia, the Guardian Mansion has been established for a hundred years, the terrain is complex, how can you know..."

Chen Jing was about to speak, but Tantai Yao, with deep eyes, intercepted his words before he could finish:

"No need to worry, he knows better than anyone how to walk the path in this Black Mountain Guardian Mansion."

Huh?

What does that mean?

Everyone present, not only Chen Jing, was also confused.

This stranger in front of them, how could he have been to the Guardian Mansion before, and how could he know the complex and rugged paths inside?
