Chapter 1610 The Whole Story
"Me!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed and appeared in the room.
It was the Sloppy Daoist.
The Sloppy Daoist looked around, sat down beside him, grabbed a bright red apple, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Kid, you're amazing. Not only did you escape from the Yin-Yang Boundary, but you were also so welcomed by the Gu family."
"Sloppy Daoist? You're out too? I knew you had some hidden trump cards, you old scoundrel."
Chen Xuan was very happy to see the Sloppy Daoist.
He had been very worried that the Sloppy Daoist wouldn't be able to get out of the Yin-Yang Boundary. It seemed his worries were for naught.
"I'm just lucky. If I had a bit less luck, I would have stayed at the border of the underworld."
The Sloppy Daoist patted his chest, looking pale with lingering fear.
"Sloppy Daoist, it looks like you're going to follow me from now on. I'm the Son of Destiny of the Gu family, and I have a bright future." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Get out of here."
The Sloppy Daoist pouted, "I think you're more like the Gu family's nemesis. Hurry up and think about how to cover up your lies."
"What? What do you mean?"
Chen Xuan frowned, "Could it be that the matter of the Son of Destiny was your doing?"
The Sloppy Daoist nodded, "It was me. After I came out of the bronze door, I kept inquiring about you. Later, I heard you were locked in the dungeon. I was planning to save you, but I didn't expect Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun to be preparing to deal with you, so I didn't act."
"I was wandering around the Gu family and happened to overhear Gu Yongming planning to deal with you, so I packaged you as the Gu family's Son of Destiny."
"Then why did Zhang Ding Tian cooperate with you?"
Chen Xuan was very confused. Zhang Ding Tian was the mountain master of Longhu Mountain, so why would he lie?
"Zhang Ding Tian is my friend. I asked him to do this small favor, and he naturally agreed. Kid, you owe me a huge favor today."
The Sloppy Daoist held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Sloppy Daoist, you're amazing. I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to have such connections." Chen Xuan gave him a thumbs up.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Xuan jumped like a startled bird, "Someone's here, hide quickly."
"It's fine. If I guessed correctly, it should be Zhang Ding Tian coming to see you to discuss the matter of the Son of Destiny."
The Sloppy Daoist had already discussed it with Zhang Ding Tian.
"Alright, I'll go open the door."
So, Chen Xuan and the Sloppy Daoist went out together.
The Sloppy Daoist plopped down on the sofa, while Chen Xuan went to open the door. As expected, Zhang Ding Tian walked in.
"Master Zhang, what brings you here?"
Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Where is that old scoundrel, the Sloppy Daoist?"
"He's inside."
Zhang Ding Tian walked in and saw the Sloppy Daoist. His face darkened, "I've done as you said. Delete the photos for me immediately!"
"What photos?"
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Wasn't it about connections? How did it turn into a threat?
"Zhang Ding Tian, we are all friends. How could I threaten you with photos? I've already deleted them."
The Sloppy Daoist whispered to Chen Xuan, "I accidentally took photos of Zhang Ding Tian going to a club. I found it very interesting, so I saved them."
The fact that the dignified mountain master of Longhu Mountain went to a club was definitely earth-shattering news in the feng shui world!
No wonder Zhang Ding Tian said that.
"I hope you're telling the truth. If you dare to lie, I will never forgive you!" Zhang Ding Tian said coldly.
"Alright, I, the Sloppy Daoist, am a man of my word. What should we do next? He's the Gu family's nemesis. How can he become the Gu family's Son of Destiny?"
The Sloppy Daoist asked with a smile.
"Is your father Chen Jianhua?"
Zhang Ding Tian looked Chen Xuan up and down and asked.
Chen Jianhua?
Even the Sloppy Daoist frowned and glanced at Chen Xuan more closely.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
Zhang Ding Tian patted Chen Xuan's shoulder and said seriously, "Good kid, you actually dared to intrude into the bronze door. I've told such a huge lie for you, and it's all worth it."
"Who exactly are you?"
"I am Zhang Ding Tian, the mountain master of Longhu Mountain. My brother and your father, Chen Jianhua, entered the bronze door together a long time ago. However, my brother died due to a curse." Zhang Ding Tian said in a deep voice.
"So that's what happened."
Chen Xuan blinked.
He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take out the pattern.
Right now, he didn't fully trust Zhang Ding Tian. He couldn't just take out the pattern based on Zhang Ding Tian's words alone.
"What did they do? Why were they all cursed?"
Chen Xuan asked curiously.
Zhang Ding Tian said,
"Years ago, a great figure summoned masters of the Xuanmen from all over the world to search for eternal life within the bronze door, whether it was rare treasures or divine techniques. So, everyone gathered. I was supposed to go with my brother, but my brother cast a hex and said that the journey was fraught with danger, so he asked me to guard Longhu Mountain. That's why I narrowly escaped."
"This guy also went, but he was the one leading the way for us."
As Zhang Ding Tian spoke, he glanced at the Sloppy Daoist, "This guy is lucky. He didn't go deep into the underworld, so he wasn't cursed. But others were not so fortunate. Many feng shui and Xuanmen masters died from the curse after they came out."
"There should not be many survivors now."
"Your father is one, and your future father-in-law is another."
Chen Xuan knew that his father was actually considered dead, and he was only alive in the form of a zombie. Su Qian was relying on rare treasures to sustain himself. Both situations were not good.
"After they entered the underworld, where did they go? What did they encounter? How can we resolve all of this?"
Facing a series of questions, Zhang Ding Tian shook his head, "I don't know."
Chen Xuan looked disappointed.
Just then, Zhang Ding Tian suddenly said, "Wait, I remembered something."
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan looked at him intently.
Zhang Ding Tian said, "I don't know the specifics, but when my brother was dying, he warned me never to go to Wuwang Mountain in the Yin-Yang Boundary."
"Wuwang Mountain?"
The Sloppy Daoist beside him said, "Wuwang Mountain is a phantom mountain in the underworld. No one knows where it is, or when it will appear. According to legends in the underworld, Wuwang Mountain contains something that grants eternal life."
"It seems that they entered Wuwang Mountain back then and encountered some trouble there, which led to their great misfortune."
This matter seemed to have lifted another veil.
But there was still one thing Chen Xuan didn't know. He asked, "Who exactly could organize such a grand event and mobilize all the masters of the Xuanmen to enter the extremely dangerous Wuwang Mountain for them?"
Zhang Ding Tian uttered four words: "Ancestor of the Xuanmen!"
"Ancestor of the Xuanmen? Isn't that the legendary Sanqing? How could they still exist now?"
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the era of cultivation declined. The Sanqing had already disappeared into the river of history. However, the Sanqing had descendants. Those descendants formed a powerful force that could contend with the three major sects of Kyoto. However, this hidden family has always lived in seclusion in Wuming Mountain."
